#rant on main

imma be honest i need to rant a little bit

all i want to do is draw, because i feel like i am so behind all the artists who had a year to practice their digital art while my ipad was dead. i have so much to relearn, i don't have any techniques that ive secured, i often feel unsatisfied with my digital work. this feeling sucks. i feel like ive gotten rusty and i genuinely have to learn my art again.

but on the other hand, i need to take breaks or i will loose any joy left in it. i can't draw for hours every day, my brain will start to fry by the end of it. if it keeps going, creating will become exhausting. i wish i could draw everything all of the time. it's so annoying having to relearn things because im missing something, and don't remember how to make art im satisfied with anymore.

i just want to finish that damn animation. it’s apparent that my brain is tired today. i had an exhausting nightmare that’s intensifying these feelings.

i just want to make something im happy with. but it’s like my brain is progressing faster than my artistry. im already growing out of my hair, my interests.

it’s because i feel like im having to learn everything NOW, all at once. instead of enjoying making art, all while im trying to finish things. and new things i want to make are piling up.

growing that tiktok account is taking a lot of work, and improving my art to become what i believe is the best version of it, is a part of it. it’s hard to do all at once. i ob have real life too and i need to rest.

i need to update my commission sheet bc no one is commissioning me. tiktok is flashing lights in my face. i need to go feed my bunny.

That there are people out there, who fucking think that the internet is a babysitter is just beyond me

Get an actual babysitter, the internet is not for kids, it never was in the first place to begin with

If you think that I should "babysit your kids online", you better fucking pay me 500 SEK for each hour

The internet was never kid friendly, and it sure as hell isn't your fucking babysitter and it never will be, nor should it be your babysitter

End of rant

Okay, like a lot of people, I found a playlist on the main Spotify page that’s meant to be a Valentine’s Playlist.

I thought, ‘Awesome! I love Valentine’s Day!” I looked at the first few songs and it looked great. Songs right off some of my other playlists.

Then I kept listening.

All of Me that starts talking about how the dude doesn’t know where tf his love is.

Angel, which is the ASPCA sad animal song

Everywhere, which opens describing how when she’s asleep, her lover is everywhere but there.

Fuck, Spotify, are you okay? Or is this an intervention?

If you want to see this list in all its glory, have at it:

And did i download the playlist for a flight over the weekend. Yes. Am I removing it? Double yes.

I get super paranoid about posting things these days cause interaction is so dry right now

So many great writers have been getting less and less feedback, reblogs and even likes on their stuff. I know posting isn’t all about that but it’s still a bit of a bummer when you out the effort into writing things for people and don’t seem to get much back in terms of commentary

The people who take the time to tell us they like our work, and give it notes, as well as those with constructive criticism are the real ones

Nothing ticks me off more than a bad website

Pls just let me scroll through a list without jumping all over the place or jump scaring me with pop ups about deals or subscribing to your site

And yes I will accept the cookies because it’s quicker than taking the time to sort out my preferences. Are you happy now??

Been trying to do NaNoWriMo this year, and just write something for myself. No editing, no back tracking, no concern for if it's actually good. Writing a story that's ideal audience is me and me alone.

And it's actually still really difficult lol! Like the act of creating is still one that requires a lot of effort even if you are trying to make it as easy as possible.

Anyone else see people they don't speak to anymore on their socials, from school/past work/ uni whatever, and they're doing amazing or following their dreams or discovered new ones and stuff, and they look like they're doing amazing and you want to congratulate them and cheer them on and just say well done! Congrats go youuu, but want to do more than just like the photo or whatever and send a message, but because of anxiety and shit and congratulate them and just applaud them... just wish I could man.... so when you see stuff you're just slightly cheering them on

(Lol sorry this isn't written very well)

but like, as someone who has struggled with body image her whole life, not saying things to be nice is just bs. not calling someone fat as a courtesy is bs. not saying someone has a flat ass not to hurt their feelings is bs. what about just like, normalizing that bodies look different and that all bodies are what they are. some people are attracted to a certain body type,others are attracted to another body type. that's normal. having different body types is normal and pointing specific features out is normal and doesn't make you a douchebag because the society says this feature should be seen as unattractive.
