It's Like This Right. Is This Even Anything

schlip schlorp take me to your leader

trying to be responsible in the silliest way i can think of so i can ignore that i've been losing my mind for a really long time 😊

my number one tip for oc design is to get so obsessed you draw them 200 times over the course of two months. then whichever details you consistently forget/simplify? retcon em. boom. effective memorable character design. works every time.

WHOA!!!!! i love my friends' ocs

a siren sounds like the goddess who promises endless apologies of paradise...

CWMCC DAY 3

WISH / RULE

i'm not following the themes very strictly haha, it isn't obvious except for to me XD

you're getting more lore! in religions around the world, ascension to a higher consciousness is a common theme. and some people think, those who are smarter, who are able, have the right to rule and say what can and can't be. are we out of line? are people inherently sinful?

but when you wish to chase the very top, you'll never be happy - when you're already doing your best...the only way you go higher is by bringing the people around you down

Dance like a bird - it works Vaughn's and Hedwig's idea of fun includes goofy dancing with each other. Plus Vaughn is respectful to Hedwig's quality beetle time I drew this mini-animation recently and decided to make a post with a couple of other dancing arts. Some of them are pretty old, but I've freshen them up a little bit. Also, I do have a pet Goliath beetle IRL

do you want a relationship or do you just want to be happy(ier)?

hear me out.

sometimes when i hear ppl around me complain about how much they want a bf/gf/partner in general i often want to ask, "why exactly?"

because a lot of the time, at the core, people want a s/o to address some other thing in their life they want fulfilled. like it's more of just wanting companionship, someone to connect to, wishing to feel less lonely etc

i feel like this is worth thinking about bc often people will get into a relationship thinking it will solve this core issue they have, and when it doesn't it catches them off guard. like ur s/o is there to improve your overall quality of life, not solve your life problems for u--that's smth u need to work on urself. yes it will suck. but it will be worth it bc ull be a more well-rounded person!

i used to kinda wish i had a relationship myself, but as i met more ppl and made more friends that feeling went away and i realised i was really content with just my platonic relationships. bc at the root i really just wanted people i could truly connect to, people i could chat up whenever. and i got that when i built a good network of friends.

you don't need a romantic relationship to be happy. it's better to try to address these needs first instead of throwing it all upon the hypothetical partner to solve.

i think about this whenever i have that "i want a relationship" feeling again.
