How did you get your start? Did you ever struggle to the point of quitting art? How did you push past art blocks and the difficulties in learning

Hi Anon !

I don't mean to be dismissive of your questions, but i don't really know what it means to "quit" art. I started drawing i think like most of us do, when I was little and we had to draw flowers and houses and trees for school. but i dont think i ever really "started" art, in the sense where i dont remember ever deciding "i want to do art". i think i just Did It without really thinking about it. it was fun, and i could process feelings and passions while i was doing it.

but i often just stop wanting to draw, too, and that's ok. sometimes i dont draw for months. sometimes the only art i do for years is squiggles in my notebooks, cooking, cross stitching, singing songs to my cat, building little dioramas, gardening. i dont "stop" doing art. i just take long breaks from drawing and do other art in the meantime.

i guess that can be considered processing art block ? idk. i dont draw if im not passionate about something enough to want to draw it. when i do have a passion, i just draw it all the time. good stuff, bad stuff, just ok stuff. all of it is fun, and since im just drawing all the time during these periods, i learn kind of by brute force haha. i will just draw the same things over and over until it looks good. i'll look at how other people do the thing i want to do and learn from them. watching artist streams is like my number one learning material; the process is so important. it's really frustrating whenever i have to confront the fact that my skills don't match what i want to create, but the passion that drives me is usually enough to keep me going.

until it stops being fun. until the passion runs out and it turns into Just Work. then, i stop drawing and im back to cross stitches and squiggles. and im ok with that.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

Hey Buck can you tell me a joke?

who do you think is daddy dearest's favorite?

i may be biased but i am also right

Not all who wander are lost. Some who wander, however, are extremely, extremely lost.

That's right.

I love how David Tennant went from “They have developed something of a codependent relationship” to “Tell me I’m pretty”

if you still take requests can I have Ryuunosuke and Kazuma following behind Phoenix as ghosts trying to mess with him even though he can't see or hear them

This request has been in my inbox for so long that I forgot the part about messing with him as ghosts...whoops!

So let's just say they did plan for shenanigans, but caught Phoenix at a bad time and couldn't look away from The Horrors.

Part Two

Ted Wheeler sees the Byers and says, “Thank god you folks are back. Between the two of these kids, I thought I was going to have to take out a second mortgage just to afford my phone bill,” and has absolutely no idea the chaos he has just unleashed.

a doctor/dentist audio where it starts off normal but gets more sadistic

so a normal dentist appointment then.....

hello, i hope it's alright to offer a bit of advice! i would suggest going to your blog settings and opting into "enable custom themes." enabling this feature lets you have your own custom url, so [url].tumblr.com in addition to tumblr.com/[url]. it also lets you have a custom theme which can be very fun, although you're free to keep using the default theme if you'd like. finally, it guarantees that people can look at your posts through the archive function, which is very useful when viewing a large body of work like a portfolio! (some blogs that don't have custom themes enabled still have the archive view option, but it seems to be hit or miss. your blog already does!). this all used to be default, but recently tumblr decided to make it opt-in for some inscrutable reason, so newcomers and people who missed the memo might not know this. if you are intentionally keeping your blog in dashboard-only view, then please disregard this message! i just wanted to let you know in case you were unaware :)

hi ❤ thank you!! i am aware it became a separate feature, but i haven't had the time and energy to think about what i wanna do with the custom theme lately, so i haven't enabled it yet huhuhu.. i should just enable it anyways and deal with the customisation later, maybe...

while im still catching up on dungeon meshi there's a quick thing i forgot to mention earlier

what was their fucking problem

With the ongoing strikes, are you still working on your comic? Or are you scabbing?

...are you under the impression that I, a Japanese resident who has no career in the film OR TV industry, who is making FREE comics as a hobby on my off time, is somehow a part of the Writers Guild of America, a Union for Hollywood writers?

I support the WGA and the SAG for striking, and I think it's excellent that they're demanding better work. That all being said... I'm not in any way related to the industry or the unions.

If you have somehow gotten the mistaken impression that doing ANY writing during the strike is 'scabbing' then I dare you to head on over to Ao3 and try that shit over yonder. See how far you get.

what do you mean this isn't canon

What a strange thing to say. Would not be surprised if you turned out to be a transfem chaser. 👍

No, me wanting to have a penis has nothing to do with other transfem people it just means I wish I could feel the strap. There’s also nothing wrong with other people liking trans women stop trying to make it a taboo thing.

Plenty of people say they wish they had a penis on this website, and I never see them get this type of anon hate bs. This is a pretty common lesbian experience in the real world.

Also get off my tumblr only freaks are allowed here.
