For everyone who wanted bullfighter Nando when I mentioned it the other day, here you go :D

+ this one I don't feel like coloring yet(imagine he's in Ferrari colors!!!)

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!! Okay so honestly I have been very very inconsistent over the years with just disappearing for periods of time due to various things 😂 So it probably seemed pretty normal to most people.

But it felt different on my side, so I'm excited to be back in business. I took a month long hiatus! 31 days of not drawing digital art. Its not something I talk about on here? But I've been suffering from some serious long term Art Burnout for.... a really really long time. Long enough that I should've taken a break probably years ago. It finally got so bad that I could barely draw. I was scared to do it (cause it always looked "bad" in my eyes [i'll come back to that]) and doing it was exhausting and disheartening.

I talked it over with somebody and realized that the fear and anger and frustration I felt towards my own artwork was uh. Not Normal or Healthy. And I finally committed to taking a real break for once.

I still drew a little bit by hand? Traditional art has always felt like it has lower stakes for me (i don't often share it online, and sometimes I don't even share it with friends) so I did some of that when I felt like it. But Digital art was completely off the table.

I had put such an immense pressure on myself to make my digital art perfect, to make as much of it as quickly as possible to satisfy something. It wasn't fun anymore. I'm proud of what i've made over the years! But for a long time now the stuff I've been making was made while hating every second of making it. With some rare exceptions.

I hated my art! It was a combination of Perfectionism, taking in too many external expectations, and the burnout. If you hate doing something its kinda hard to love it even when you want too lol. It wasn't "Bad" in the sense that the quality was low and it was ugly! It was "Bad" in the sense that it was unhealthy for me to keep doing it at that point in time.

I'm glad to report though, that with my hiatus officially over as of Wednesday last week: I am once again. In Love. With doing art, and being an artist :)

I put off taking a break for years cause I was scared that taking a break would mean that I would never achieve all the things I wanted to do with art. I was scared it was a stupid and lazy thing to do that would mean I'd never achieve my dreams. And Also even though I kinda hated drawing, I also loved making art. Its a weird duality that I can't even really explain??? I hated it but I also loved it. I wanted it but I also wanted to run from it. It wasn't until I was more mature and had more clarity and insight (and unfortunately also until the problems got worse) that I was finally able to let go of those fears and just do it.

And I'm really really glad I did. It was everything I needed. And I hope to strike a better balance in the future with art. Taking more breaks when I need them, or just when other things have my attention like reading or Video games (Some star rail got played during this time xD)

From the outside things probably aren't going to be that different?? At this point I don't really have any sure plans to post anything I've been drawing since my Hiatus ended. I might or I might not xD I'm still a hobbyist artist taking things at her own pace, but I hope that it shows how much happier I am :)

Whumptober 2023 is being officially put to rest by this post btw! I was in major burnout when that event started, and I'm ready to just, move on from all the past expectations I'd shoved on my shoulders. If I feel like filling any of the prompts or going back to any of the ideas I'd come up for it I will! But I'm not going to worry about doing it unless the desire sets in. Thanks to everybody who's been so kind to me throughout my time on here as an artist! Ya'lls tags and screaming and kind words, the fanfic, the asks and the responses? Its been fantastic :) You guys have made me laugh, smile, and cry tears of joy. I hope from here that things only get better and sweeter! And if I have bad days again, that's okay too.

Here's to 2024 and whatever it may bring ya'll :D 🎉🎉✨✨🧡💜

then and now

'4d chess gender' just reads to me as 'if youre a trans woman you will have to play rhetorical 4d chess to get me to even consider not calling you bro man and dude' at this point. how is it awful to call ppl 'theyfabs' but literally resurrecting an antiquated slur because of some bizarre fixation on a tumblr clique from fucking years ago is fine as long as the trans women youre throwing it at are like, 'pretentious' (the way certain FOLX on here use the term to mean 'doesnt agree with me and has any meaningful understanding of politics'). but bringing up that trans women are treated like shit gets you met with 'ugh why the discourse we should be sucking and fucking each other not fighting' like some fucking tboy andrew tate fan shit like telling a woman complaining about how you are treating her by saying 'shut up and suck my dick' isnt direct misogyny meant to put us in our place (as sex servants for the real human beings). this site is a fucking trashfire and anyone who tells you there is any kind of cohesive meaningful overarching 'trans community' is selling you something or trying to fuck you

gotta say after playing through a good 40-50 hours of it at this point im really not understanding why people say guild wars 2's story is bad. it's a pretty good 7/10 so far

Im going to fucking throw up

I genuinely suspect a reason for them making them miss the deadline in the pjo tv series is that they didn't want to reveal too many of the gods so early on. That would be a lot of casting and they probably want to save the reveal for some of them later on. That and they've shown all the male Olympians, so they've given us a decent amount already

I'll have to see if I can pull funny out of this and successfully circumvent the Uncomfortable but situation: Leonys, recently engaged, traveling across Gondor with her fiance in the service of the King, starts randomly asking around about Eomer, king of Rohan (since Lothiriel is insistent that you don't tell anyone it's her asking). This isn't surprising at first, given her Whole Deal, until the questions become a little bit too obviously besotted. This is also not surprising, given her Whole Deal, but it is a bit scandalous. After all, her fiance is right there.

I drew all of my historical AU Sebs!!!!

In order they are(with relevant links to lore info if you are curious!!): Napoleonic Hussar Seb(x), Renaissance Muse Seb(x) and Boy King/Emperor Seb(x)

Let me know which you like best!!!

if you want to provide that list of 13’s episodes i would love it as a crash course<33 i’ve been meaning to catch up but haven’t had the time and the End Of The Semester is here so i probably won’t have time for an actual catch up until break. in like 3 weeks:( also for that earlier ask, i watched the special with absolutely 0 leadup besides a vague memory of 13’s first season and the stuff i’ve been lightly spoiled on as a result of existing On Here and was not really confused at all, though i definitely want to go back and watch the 13->14 regeneration scene, so it’s definitely not super heavy on stuff from 13 yet!

thank you for enabling me anon i owe you my life <3

this list has both episodes that are important to the plot and episodes that i personally enjoy, and i'll mark the plot relevant ones in bold

1. the woman who fell to earth

2. the ghost monument

3. demons of the punjab

4. kerblam!

5. the witchfinders

6. it takes you away

7. the battle of ranskoor av kolos - season finale so i'm including it but not terribly important to the whole thing

7. spyfall pt1 and 2 - both important to the plot and a personal favorite

8. nikola tesla's night of terror

9. fugitive of the judoon

10. the haunting of villa diodati

11. the timeless children - not a good episode per se but you have to watch it to understand things (even if the things in question suck so bad)

12. the flux (aka s13 from the halloween apocalypse to the vanquishers)

this one is weird because it's a series of interconnected episodes, so you can't really pick and choose. its weird and confusing but i still recommend it because of dan my best friend dan

13. eve of the daleks - my absolute favorite episode of the entire 13 era

14. the power of the doctor

TF2 mercs ranked according to how good I think they are at hugging.

Can you bestow upon me your knowledge of how the hell you draw robots I am struggling

Hi! Honestly, my only sound advice is to use references while drawing as much as you can!

Godspeed

BONUS: Some little notes i did. I hope they help somehow🐇💙

Usually I get my period the last or first week of the month but I am suspiciously late. I think I'm gonna be the next virgin mary or some shit
