See, a lot artists on this site who have stuff like depression and ADHD will at least draw some little comics about experiencing those mental illnesses and other struggles in their life, have a little fun with it that other people can enjoy and relate to. What sets me apart is that I am so incredibly debilitated by my ADHD and other mental conditions that I physically cannot draw most of the time 💖
Possible rent lowering gunshots for this blog right off the bat but my favorite (jokey and kinda crack) head cannon I’ve developed is that Jim Defroque hooked up with Terzo one time ages ago and is still low key obsessed with him. Terzo on the other hand hates his guts and recalls the hookup as ‘mid at best’.
I just like the idea of them years later leading their (obviously opposed) congregations and having to squint at each other upon crossing paths again like “is that…? Ahh fuck.”
If you're following this blog, you probably knew it as @the-oc-workshop, which I abandoned years ago to start fresh with a new account and blog. Well, for personal reasons, I don't want to keep using that new account anymore - so I've returned to give this old blog a makeover and use it as my main one for now!!!
FAQ but it's questions no one asked yet:
What have you been doing all this time?
So much different bullshit!!! I became a Twitch streamer and then a proper VTuber, met a bunch of new friends and foes, suffered at college (FINALLY graduated this year btw), suffered from a lot of other personal situations, and currently suffering because I haven't managed to get a fucking normie job yet. And of COURSE I've still been doing art, but due to the largely untreated state of my mental health the periods in which I actively make art have become very sporadic.
What should we call you now?
Just Mal will do! Short for the full name of my current main sona, Malice - though if you're feeling nostalgic, I also go by Aby.
What are you going to do with this blog now?
I do still want to post my art and doodles here, but it's too much effort for me to have separate blogs for different purposes. So I'm also just gonna reblog posts on here (mostly stuff that's funny and PSAs). I promise though, I'm going to do my best to get back into the practice of drawing regularly! I don't know how successful I'll be until I can finally start getting treatment for my mental illnesses, but I hope you'll wanna stick around regardless 🙏
When you post art here, what kind will it be? Will you still focus on OCs?
Largely, yes! Although these days, rather than just original characters for existing properties, I spend an equal amount of time thinking about my characters for my own, completely original stories! I do want to start making content for these stories, even though a lot of it will probably just be silly doodles for now, and I hope you'll come to love my characters and worlds as much as I have!
Oh and you'll probably see my sona a lot, most of my drawings the past few years have been focused on him and my other vtuber friends, since that became such a big part of my life.
I still wanna do stuff for fandoms I'm in though, it'll basically just be whatever I wanna draw at any given time lmao ✨️
Where else can I find you, and see what else you're doing these days?
Lucky for you I have a carrd with all my damn links - and HOPEFULLY I'll finally have updated it by the time you see this:
https://malcontentvt.carrd.co/
But yes, my username these days will be some variation of "MalContent" most places, amd hopefully all of them once I get around to it. I'd normally say you can see me most often on my Twitch channel, but I'm taking a hiatus right now - I'll be back once my 3.0 debut as a vtuber is ready though!
Hey. If you ever liked my art in the past, said something nice, talked or interacted with me at all, then I want to say that I hope you're doing well. I really do! And if you choose to stick around in this new part of my life, I hope I can make it worth your while
Truly. I hope it's either just on my end or it's something that everyone struggles with when they post images here, because I've been on this site for at least a decade and I have NEVER been able to figure out or find a definitive answer for how to stop image previews on mobile from having shit quality
TUMBLR APP WORK CHALLENGE??? TUMBLR APP PUT THE IMAGES IN THE SAME ORDER I PUT THEM IN WHEN YOU PUBLISH A POST I MADE CHALLENGE?????? LEVEL IMPOSSIBLE???????????
I was planning on my Oc Haze hating Perpetua as a default but I dunno…I feel like one awkward, overly toothy smile exchange and they’re on the path to being besties.
Also it would be funny because:
1. Copia is a bit possessive and would HATE seeing his Hazy-boy being friendly with fuckn’ V
2. It maintains the trend of Nihil being the ONLY guy in this gods forsaken family that Haze dislikes lmao 🖤
