Sorry bout that, the last link wasn't good. I couldn't access it anymore, so I wouldn't be able to see the replies... anyway, yeah! Poll is up over on my Twitter now. 💜

Okay, so, I got a few questions about when certain things would be out, so I wanted to go ahead and make a little public thing explaining some things...



First off, I wanted to thank every single person who's sent in requests for me since I took my 'hiatus-which-i'm-still-not-technically-back-from-i-guess'. It feels so awesome to know that people out there genuinely like my writing enough to want me to write something in particular. I love it. Never stop.

With that being said, I haven't been able to work on them, and I feel horrible for it, but I have a writing commission that takes priority to me.

Thing is, I've been really struggling to write anything at all lately... I don't know why. Maybe my writing moon is fading, and soon it'll be another spur of more drawn art. Or maybe I'm in a period where both will be difficult. Who knows? All I do know is that I have wonderful people cheering me on, so you can bet your butts that I'm not gonna give up yet.

So I'm just gonna go ahead and say this for now: Unless it strikes me to write it, Curiosity is on hiatus for a while. I want to get through the backlog of requests I have after I finish this commission, and maybe then I'll be back in my groove enough to actually write it. I don't want another fic to just not end...

So yeah. Thanks for being awesome to me, and patient, and I look forward to writing something for you all very soon! (And I mean, if you feel like some Stan prompts, which I know you do, you should ask sweet sweet Mod Doll over on @pining-for-pines. She's an awesome writer who I love and adore, and she deserves all of the love!

Personal shit below.

I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been struggling a lot mentally and emotionally lately... but I’m still kickin’ and still hangin’ in there. I’m hoping that this breaks soon so I can start the upward climb, so I can come back and write for you all like I really want to.

Thank you for being patient and believing in me. ❤

Training Wheels

The best thing I ever did for my art was take away the fucking training wheels.

Let me start over... I used to use those free-to-use (with credit) anime “bases” off of Deviantart, tracing the basic form and then drawing the details/coloring it myself. And, for a while, that worked for me. It allowed me to get used to drawing the form... but, after a while, I started relying too much on that.

The day I decided that I wasn’t going to do that ever again was a difficult one, but it’s one I don’t regret in the slightest, because it’s helped me grow as an artist.

So to all the tracers out there, the base-users, the re-colorers... don’t grow comfortable where you’re at now. Strive to be more.

Shit, I still strive to be more. I still have a long, long, LONG way to go on the eternal road that is improving my art. But I don’t think I would’ve gotten as far as I did if I didn’t rip off the training wheels when I did.

Update

Insurance went through, and I got a new vehicle! I’m super excited about it, because it’s actually a decent year and model. The kids are stoked about it, Jordan was happy with the purchase, everything is awesome right now.

Still hurting financially but y’know what, I’m feeling positive for once, and I don’t want anything to smother that. ;w;

[lifesanssin]

so anyway, don’t go telling people they’re not [insert thing here] enough because of x, y, or z reasons.

a) it’s none of your business b) you aren’t the judge and jury of all things lgbtqia+ c) it’s fukkin rude what

i’ve got a pretty big project going on right now... or, well, i’m looking at starting a big project. it’s a personal project, not for monetary gain or anything. i just fell in love with a song and wanted to make an undertale vid to go along with it.
