Aaaaand decided to post at least one wip! Maybe I’ll post more. I did this in early spring because there’s nothing like celebrating Snufkin’s arrival to MoominValley like…. Doing moominvalley in November stuff I guess. Lol
also as I was posting this I saw this in one of the frames and adsgddsfsdsd
i really dont think being shook up by something like that is ridiculous ngl? it's fucking vile and i hope that prick can never come near your presence online ever again. i think it's as good a time as ever to mention you and your art are absolutely incredible and i'm always floored at how fucking awesome everything you work on is. you deserve so much far fucking better treatment and i hope nothing this shit ever happens again to you
thank you so SO much nyx ;; i just hate the thought of giving shitty people like that power over me cos it did get a reaction out of me, yknow? and it definitely isn't the first time, after all i received this as well the last time I had anon open, and no comment abt addressing behavior like this at all from the community (': It had been almost TWO YEARS having it off and i still got smth foul. It's pretty disheartening.
i also really do hope that this place treats me better over time, like someone else else; it really is just one bad apple but it still sours the experience by A Lot.
I'm very lucky to have a few friends on discord that are kind, but it's really sad that that support group consists of like 3 maybe 4 people max. The asks I got in light of the most recent anon though makes me pretty teary eyed if I'm being honest, like I can't thank you all for your kind words enough
you always say the nicest things abt my art and i feel like a broken record for saying a plain ol' thank you all the time but. im just not the best at words and need you to know every single kind word means the world to me 😭
the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth
I am genuinely so worried for all the young horny dykes going into adulthood thinking there's something "problematic" / "wrong" with them for being horny because fucking tiktok lesbians think any horny dyke content is "male gaze fetishitic"
I just revived my old iPod touch that I haven’t used since ~2013 after believing it to be dead dead for years and oh my god it’s like opening up an old time capsule. There are photos of me and my friends that I haven’t seen in years, taken in an old high school building that doesn’t exist anymore. I have games that are no longer downloadable on the app store. It’s running iOS 5 with the original skeuomorphism app icons. I still have the youtube app. My contacts app is full of maiden names and deadnames. The music app has songs I haven’t heard in almost a decade but still remember all the lyrics to. A daily alarm set for 5:30 AM (god I can’t believe I had to wake up that early in high school) and another set to 11:11 PM to remind me to make a wish. Reminders to finish homework assignments, or to write my application essay for the university I ended up attending, and one marking the release date for the final episode of Cabin Pressure. The last thing I googled was “how to draw people hugging”.
Possibly the strangest thing is that the tumblr app still opens, but it’s stuck in a permanent snapshot of 2013 where it won’t show me any new posts no matter how many times I refresh. My dash is full of old BBC Sherlock posts from long-lost mutuals who have either since deactivated or got unfollowed or changed urls so many times that I don’t even recognize them. Lady Gaga and Game of Thrones are the top trends. My profile shows my previous url and icon, with only 43 followers. I feel like a time traveler
