Our world is falling apart, and sinking inward to the comfort of fantasies and ignoring the ugliness of the world is literally putting our global society and species at risk.  There’s no magic group of older people who are going to swoop in and save us from the mistakes they themselves made.  We’re the adults now, we’re the ones who can make an impact. We have to give ourselves some level of credit towards our intelligence and ability. We can do any number of things -- from writing about the issues online, changing up which companies get our service, or participating in local levels of politics, etc. If it’s a community-boosting, nature-building, or pollution-reducing action it helps. Whatever your limits are you can still help make the world a better place.

I have a MIGHTY NEED to draw my farmer and Nathaniel being cute T- T BUT I JUST CAN’T GET UP THE GUMPTION

Genuinely loving Sun Haven, do wish there were more mods though -- specifically for editing relationships (heart levels, event flags, etc.) I would love to redo the botched 1st date with Nathaniel from when my game crashed T- T **I have fixed the issue using big brain time.

RE last reblog about supporting artists:

---------------------------------------------

I do want to say that I am content with the support I have!

I personally don’t expect consistency, and I’m happy if only even a few folks see my work. Professional illustration is a labor intensive job that my body can no longer handle, so I am content with progressing as a hobbyist. I’ve also always been more of a tag and comment person; just a few verbal/text affirmations from friends make me happy. ---------------------------------------------

However, for those out there who are actively trying to make a career from art -- for those people the positive affirmations not only help build self-esteem, they’re also CRUCIAL to the building of an audience.  What I want to see in the art community is an elimination of “power mod” artist cliques, and for fledgling creators of all ages to get their very due support! The art community has a very capitalist mindset to be telling people who already work really hard to “work harder and pull yourself up by the bootstraps”. Stop asking people to HUSTLE when they’re already doing everything they must to be seen. Not everyone can afford to have a bougie elbow-rubbing art degree or buy cross-platform interaction, as many of these large content creators tend to. ---------------------------------------------

I would kindly ask others to go out and give love and affirmation to amateur artists. Give love to the 35 yo pokemon fanartist -- give love to the 16 yo original comic artist. Retweet, reblog, comment, whatever -- do what you can to help push art past website algorithms. Please. Thank you.

Gonna be completely honest, not having anyone to talk to drives you a little cuckoo! I have my partner, but I often feel intellectually bereft of any stimulation. I feel like I’m not allowed to complain because, hey I have a real house and a stable relationship of 7 years... Yet I still lack close friends, and the folks who I feel closest too seem to prioritize other people.  Like that line in Severance, “I was your best friend, you were my very good friend.” ------------------------------ I crawled up through physical and verbal abuse, through abject poverty to come into a place that feels as emotionally desolate as before. What’s worse is that I’ve found the communities surrounding media I enjoy -- which should be a surprise and secret to no one that fandoms are inherently toxic -- to be ultimately hostile and desolate wastelands of immature and egomaniacal halfwits. Like the Neopet community’s weirdly fellating behavior towards NFTs, mormon, and wasp users. I can’t be arsed to touch that sort of cultish toxicity ever again -- yet it often seems like other folks can easily drift between communities with no issue at all... and it leaves me wondering “have I done something wrong”?  ------------------------------ I constantly feel like as soon as folks get an inkling that I’m native or chronically-ill that’s when all of the hate comes down on my shoulders. The bullying, the passive aggression.. It doesn’t matter if it’s online or in real-life, the bigotry that I faced is INSANE. It’s with doctors, professors, whatever... ------------------------------ I can’t seem to make anyone happy, not even myself. I just wish I could be loved by others in the way I care about them. I wish I could be considered fun or interesting enough for people to not look over me.  It’s been this way as long as I can remember -- this feeling that both society at large and my family would rather I disappear into a hole.

Watching a bunch of rich white people flee the country and leave the rest of us in the lurch while our rights and safety are slowly stripped away. What a fun time to be alive.

Canada won’t take you if you’re neurodivergent or poor, it’s also a hilariously racist place and still kidnap native people off their reservations. All of these countries prefer wealthy whites. Basically if you’re poor, brown, and have some form of disability you’re absolutely fucked in terms of immigration.
