emily | she/her | 28 🏳️🌈 i make drawings, etc. mecha enjoyer. not actually a birder
Dragon's annoying cuddle party
⚠️ this is still not a birder account ⚠️ but look who i saw on my walk today
while it is really pleasant to cut loose and draw whatever i still get posting sickness after sharing (nausea/insomnia) (???). i wish it wasn't so distressing 😭😭
i had a lot of fun drawing that. i forgot about fun drawing...
because i'm cutting myself some slack in execution to get to the concept more reliably, some of my drawings will be mid to bad. i must carry on regardless 💆
idk. i finish drawing my daily acslop and "existential imperative satisfied" appears on my hud like i lit a bonfire
maybe i'll start putting more ac doodles here. "what were you doing before" trying really really hard
it's like purely psychological but i'm struggling to keep a steady hand & get my usual precise lines rn. my arm is a lot better i think it's just a motivation thing
learned from making this post is that for some people "mechsploitation" is literally anytime any woman or person is manipulated in a mech and that i am a clueless tourist who doesn't know about four murasame. my response is that the machine as a metaphor for structures of violence is called "mecha"
Erin (Classic)@woodaba.bsky.social · 3w agomechsploitation is fascinating to me because it doesn't actually exist outside of fic but it's become popular enough in fic that people are getting into like gundam or eva seeking mechsploitation content, unaware that the entire "genre" emerges entirely from armored core 6 porn
ESPRIT DE CORPS - Kim Kitsuragi is a nice guy. Wish he was here right now.
lrp maeterlinck where are you going baby... (outstanding piece)

i really need to meet more ac people. i'm withering away
big part of my upheaval past couple years has been a process overhaul for visart; i also need a process period for text. i write consistently, started prob in like 2022... and i have a couple hundred words published. how do i make that higher. idk
i know this is all i talk about sorry LOL i'm trying to interrogate the impulse. i get sick of drawing things i'm ashamed of so i write, and i also have 1 million conversations i want to have but don't know how to, so i write for that reason too
interest, style, and truth to life are hard to achieve even with a lot of space and i have the low wordcount curse... i do actually "like" writing but when it's the only way to both feed oneself and communicate, it's an evil, soul-sucking pursuit
you begin to understand why no one writes your thing well when you try to do it yourself... you can't fit high concept into short fiction unless you're actually skilled
still working it out but i think the meltdowns are from the lack of material results after a lot of hard work to improve my art. the effort doesn't entitle me to anything, it just feels like a deadend
