the thing about thinking extensively about dirk strider is you have to be really fucking careful lest his consciousness start bleeding over into your own. and then You Yourself Have Essentially Become A Dirk Strider Splinter, Woe Upon Us All. anyway glad you're taking care of yourself. you probably don't need some anonymous somebody telling you this but it's always good to create for yourself first and foremost do nooooot let any hypothetical haters possess you to make you do little songs and dances your heart's not in. you're awesome and very thoughtful and i'm sure no matter where your heart and brain take you whatever you make will turn out great 👍
thank you for this. i appreciate it. youre thoughtful too, and pretty spot on.
taking a step back has been helpful. it sounds ridiculous (because it is. as these things often are) but the way i was thinking about myself and this stupid homestuck character was veering too close to genuine delusion for my liking, in a way i hadnt felt since i was a completely unhinged teenager. had to pull the plug.
as for the song and dance, ill resist best i can. im just not very equipped for having any amount of eyes on me without feeling monitored. tumblr is a scary website. the haters are very much hypothetical but very easy to prioritize. this is a me problem. i apply very harsh rules for myself that i dont think anyone else in the world does. its tumblr, its not that serious.
thank you again 🫶
hiii i really like your art and your sugimoto is amazing!!!!! I had a fixation on golden kamuy for a long time and I was exited to see it in your art space. thank you for sharing your art!!
thank you! part of my absence has been from me rereading golden kamuy lol i love it sm and im glad theres a fan overlap here. maybe ill post more art for it then
Are you still homestucking it or are u leaving/softcore leaving the fandom
i still like homestuck, its moreso that i got kind of burnt out making so many drawings for this blog. the siren song of drawing things for internet approval gets to us all. and the amount of requests in your askbox becomes completely overwhelming. ill still post here occasionally, if i feel like it, but im focusing on doing things for myself and honing my art #skillz
