I draw things...

so this is more of a ramble than anything I guess. I'm a mess of a person but I always try my best to do the right thing. But social media has absolutely melted my brain in recent years. I've been sharing a few posts that I'm now realising that I probably shouldn't have. I don't know how to tell what is real and what isn't, I tried to check and thought I got it right but I think I got it wrong on a few occasions. I'm not going to explain the whole thing as I'm too drained and I don't owe anyone anything. I need to bring a new mindset with me online which is that I don't need to behave how random people want me to so I will just be sharing art from now on - IF I even decide to keep using this site. I've had to turn off anon asks now because to be fair I shouldn't have had it on in the first place but I also if I keep getting unwanted and/or hateful asks it's going off altogether which makes me sad because one of the best things about this site was talking to people through the asks. anyway sorry for those who did send me some nice asks recently but I can't quite share them yet. Actually my mental health has dipped so badly that I will probably not be very active online but please know that I do appreciate the nice asks and comments and interactions even if I don't see them or can't reply to them.

reposting these as I've edited them slightly since last time. They need more editing though but I love the idea I love this man a lot

So this was the RDR2 piece that I've been trying to draw all year and still didn't finish. But I just want to post it as is for now, I can only hope I can finish it one day along with the 50 other ideas I had attached to it lol I wanted to draw a comic of the wizard talking to all of them saying that they either didn't need what they were looking for or they already had it. And then Tilly waking up and saying "and you where there" etc. This wasn't even the start of this idea lol there was an original comic that inspired it my brain is such a mess of ideas and I rarely ever get anything done especially done in order. "Cat Micah" spawned out of one of these tangent ideas from the Wizard of Oz lol. It's just a dominoes effect of ideas and I can't draw all 100 of them at once.

@charlybird 's delightful takes on station clerk, Alden Carruthers from Red Dead Redemption 2 was too charming not make my own fanart of.

Shipping him and oaf-in-residence, Bill took two characters I hadn't paid much attention to and made them delightful and adorable as fuck.

Look at them!! the legendary bear jokes about Bill will never fail to make me laugh, and this art is so gorgeous on top of that. Amazing style!! Love how you drew both of them but I'm falling over Alden with his chest out haha. I can't believe it never occurred to me to draw him in just his waistcoat, I need to try this.

only tangentially related to drop dead fred but it's remarkable how much rik mayall looks nearly exactly how i would imagine toon beetlejuice to look like irl

So sorry to bother you but i got on that rdr2 bandwagon a few months ago and im going for my own 100% completion, im at 84% but im just wondering that if i finish the prologue (final mission) do i lose all the progress ive made? (I play on playstation!)

You dont need to awnser me but seeing as youre doing a much better job than i do i was wondering if you knew! cant find anything on the internet on this topic :(

uhh what progress specifically? If you mean does the game just end, then no :) As far as I remember you can just continue on as you were but with some benefits. I also think I did some of the hidden interactions after the final mission as my 100% picture is with Mrs Tilly. Which I love actually haha. 100% is difficult though (time consuming and tedious) so good luck! :) edit: you could also just make a new save if you're that nervous. I am going off memory here but I can't imagine the game would screw you over like that.

sorry I've not been posting much. I still have really bad art block but as you can see I've also been obsessing over Scott Clarke from Stranger Things lol. I could go on about how much I love this guy but I'll try to keep a lid on my cringe lmao. He's too pure for this show, save him. I also love his girlfriend and I hope the show doesn't ruin either of them. I want them to have the best relationship because I wouldn't believe anything else but this show can be truly awful sometimes so I'm worried. I also don't want anything bad in general to happen to either of them. please.

I hope you know you make my Alden and Bill loving ass smile everytime you make anything with them in it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

oh thank you! <3 that's really nice to hear I genuinely get the nicest comments from all of you, thank you so much

This is an excellent article. It talks about the psychology of tyranny, the history of resistance and the paths we have to take to rescue each other and recover.

Point #4 especially.

Gonna be fr grown adult queers should know better than to engage in crazy fear mongering telling other people itโ€™s over and weโ€™re all gonna be sent to camps and lose our rights and be criminalized and whatever like hey how about donโ€™t tell a group of people with unbelievably high suicide rates that thereโ€™s no hope and life is over
