Realized a little while ago that the very thought of drawing was putting me into panic attacks. So my partner said it was probably cause everything I drew was for a project and I started associating art with deadlines and needing to be perfect. That made me really sad.

it looks like my life will free up by may.... if not june, so maybe then i will be free again to draw and write. and maybe it will be more OC or other art, but the bookiedooks will always be on my mind so fingers crossed i do get free again

there once was a girl, clever and good, who tarried in shadow in the depths of the wood ✨ character designs of elspeth and ravyn from the shepherd king duology, a series that i have literally not been able to get out of my head since i finished them earlier this year! #art

two figures standing on a cream background: elspeth spindle, a young woman with pale skin and long dark hair braided over her shoulder. she wears a grey dress and her right hand is black and clawed, with black veins creeping down under her sleeve. the other is ravyn yew, a tall young man with dark hair and darker skin. he wears all grey clothing with his hand resting on the hilt of a sword at his waist, yew leaves embellished on the scabbard.

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️

I think a big fandom shift in interacting with stuff has gone from people commenting under the created thing whether it be fic or art to people linking it in private discord groups where the person who made it will never see any positive comments left on the thing they made.

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem. Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

A few years ago, any time i saw a trend with art in the fandom going around, i would feel guilty or angry with myself for not joining cause I had no time. Now I have time technically but I just look at it and go "too tired, I'll just enjoy what everyone else is doing" lol Growth 😌

If stuff like this is allowed to pass, hundreds of thousands of your favorite artists will be hit, and possibly disappear due to fees they can't pay, or jail time. Y'all gotta fight this at every step. If you live in OK, you gotta get LOUD about this. If it gets here, I'M going to get loud abt it.

Guys I understand that hearing about political stuff is exhausting. But if any of you think this doesn’t affect you bc ur just enjoying your porn in peace… Project 2025 explicitly mentions that even romance novels should be banned. And they are already trying to pass these bills:

Does anyone else keep a list of every ship they've ever liked and update it sometimes where you just kinda remove old ones that don't do it for you anymore while also adding new ones? 🥹

Quote with your most kudos'd fic Word Travels I never expected this fic to be so popular, and I think it's mostly for the art included. It was the first big bang I'd ever participated in, so it's been cool to see it continue to be loved 🧡💚 archiveofourown.org/works/21575419
