Yeah I Know There's Probably Problems With These But They're Just Warmup Doodles So I'm Not Gonna Stress

Yeah I know there's probably problems with these but they're just warmup doodles so I'm not gonna stress about it,, I'm trying to get a driving permit, so I'm doing an online driving course, and yeah... it's not hard but it's a LOT of reading (and there's a timer on every page so you don't skip ahead but it's a l o n g timer even for me, I'm not a fast reader-)

So to vent my boredom, here's Papyrus trying to do the course too (I'm fine ftr this isn't vent art I'm just being whiney AGklsgdlkhgs)

I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.

I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.

My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."

That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

A digital drawing of Toriel (Undertale) with dark purple markings up her nose, horns, and tail. She is wearing a robe similar to the one she wears in-game, with extra gold trims and the dress part of the robe being draped on the sides over a plain white under-dress. A gold dress piece in the shape of a fountain pen nib hangs in the front. Both the robe and dress piece has embroidery details. Her tapered tail also has the vague appearance of a pen nib. Side doodles depict her laughing and scowling. There are ink doodles of golden flowers and fire magic around her.

A digital drawing of Asgore (Undertale) with white markings over his eyes, horns, and tail. His yellow beard also has streaks of white. His armor has white accents and his cape has a longer white under cape, while the cape over it is purple with gold trimmings, and correction tape forming a Delta Rune. His trident points form the shape of a correction fluid brush, as does his crown. A side doodle depicts him turned around and watering flowers, showing the back of his cape. Golden flowers outlined in white and the six human souls are around him.

so like imagine Undertale characters but they're all crafts supplies Part Triple (Sans and Papyrus) (Undyne and Alphys) (Frisk and Flowey) (Napstablook and Mettaton)
