im a little embarrassed to admit this to you guys but i got caught up writing a college au oneshot with photographer manon...dj lara...bandmates dani + sophia + yoonchae...fashion student megan...it's not superhero themed but i think it's half decent 🫣

hey remember when i was obsessed with sanders sides circa 2018. remember when i made my own sides and basically predicted remus and orange/rage/whatever but no one will ever believe me because i procrastinated too long on sharing them. remember when i redrew them in 2023. no you don't cause i never shared that either but now you do!

2018 ver and more rambling under the cut. if u even care /ref /lh

in any case, creating my own sides has helped a whole lot. being autistic and having trouble with distinguishing my own emotions is overwhelming sometimes, so trying to categorize where each thought/feeling is coming from has been extremely helpful and i highly recommend it. i haven't drawn these sillies as much as i would've liked but they also serve as a great avenue for vent art, something i mostly used established characters for up until creating them.

my art style evolving definitely played a part, but i think growing myself, going on T and into therapy was the biggest component in helping me sort them and be able to communicate with these different sides of myself. being more aware of my body and face in a neutral rather than negative way and not dissociating from them entirely was huge on finally being able to draw them how i picture them; have them look authentic and resemble me AND not be dysphoric or body dysmorphic about it

all this to say. make your own sides. i know some people already have, and i think a lot more would benefit from it.

top 5 tree species

I’ll have you know I’m feeling a bit Miette meme about being asked to choose between trees. I love a good tree. How can you ask me this. Trees are my friends. (But also are we talking to look at? To eat from? To smell the flowers? To use for wood?)

Slightly malicious compliance here we go :)

No particular order:

1) conifers, especially: balsam fir, common juniper, red spruce, and Canada yew

-special mention to sequoia, tall beautiful ladies I hope to meet someday, and it’s fun that they have all five vowels in the name

2) gingkos, the leaves are cute and they are lonely taxonomically and must be remembered

3) broadleaves: all maples of course, birches my beloved, winterberry (holly), oaks my beloved, sumac and willows

-Love to the big beautiful flowers crew -magnolias, lilacs, horse chestnuts & fruit/food trees like cherry, plum, peach, apple, etc

4) more internationally: baobabs, bamboo my beloved (its delicious), palms, acacia, mahogany, olive, wisteria, Tibetan cherry, pink ivory, etc

5) fictional trees, because why not: Laurelin & Telperion (The Silmarillion), the massive tree in Castle in the Sky (Ghibli), the entire jungle in disneys Tarzan

Can we get a list of sexualities? Or favorite foods? Or even just favorite colors? (Other than the obvious choice of the one their elements match to or what you’ve obviously color-coded them to be)

Well, after my brief inquiry, here we go:

Nya- Sexuality: Unlabeled (just know girls ain't off the table) Fave Food: Will usually just eat whatever is put before her, but absolutely cannot stomach seafood Fave Not-Obvious Color: ......nah that's still blue, but she's also pretty partial to maroon

Lloyd- Sexuality: He'd like to know too Fave Food: Please this kid always assumes all his meals are poisoned Fave Not-Obvious Color: Black (and sometimes purple)
