Butterflies And Ladybugs

Originally planed some Allay from Minecraft but wasn't happy with the design so asked friends and family for characters.

anxiety cycles🌀

EDIT// I didnt expect this so get so many notes lol. But real quick, I’d like to add some context: this post is about the way anxiety affects me! It’s not meant to be an infographic or an all encompassing list of anxiety types/ symptoms. It manifests differently for a lot of different people (like having panic attacks, which are sort of a combo of mental and physical distress, as several folks have pointed out). I think it’s cool people are discussing more about it in the notes! I just want to clarify the original post is about the way I personally experience general anxiety symptoms.

LAST Official Art Post of 2024! The year I promised myself no more Miraculous and then just kept on drawing it anyways. Have like a hundred ideas of stuff I want to do in 2025 as well as no plans to ever watch the show again at the same time. I just lack the pride to keep watching a kids show. This is a fun paradox, don’t remember anything related to this in psychology. Maybe the idea of you watching shows based on stuff you want and this reminds me of a childhood I felt I missed?

Watching these kids finding these friends, skills, confidence and maturity lies closer to what I wished I had as a child and what felt like the lives many around me led. I spent my days staring into the wall in the school corridor or up at the moon before going to bed wondering about my place in the world and finding questions for everything between “what’s outside the known universe” and “do I deserve to breathe the same air as my classmates?” Apparently, my parents’ tactic of constantly reminding me of my diagnosis and differences did NOT have any positive result on my mental health :D, who figured.

I’m glad that I have all that today. A back bone, a small but diverse social life, an actual close relationship with my family and pride to go outside the door. But this show just takes that and makes me regret I didn’t find it sooner.

So my relationship with this show is something I have been wondering about a lot this year and seems to be a mix of escapism and weird sense of nostalgia to small moments of fun and acceptance and also, regrets of why I didn’t just do this or that or blah.

So going into 2025, I have an updated sense of what I want to draw, not to draw, what I want my stuff to say, the overall feeling and vibe of the individual ideas and what kind of artwork I can find myself sharing with my social group. And Miraculous have found a way into that mix.

So cheers to the new year and a happy warning, if you’re still following me, you’re not getting rid of these two. Nor me, feeling sorry for myself, but I’m working on that last part.

Eclipse-gazing

Introducing… a new eye color! A slightly toned down blue! I like it.

And also… team Chloe or team Warren?

I did not concent for Google to throw AI in my face everytime I search something and for the first time in my life considering using Bing

If Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker uses it, it must be good

They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers. Though Obi-Wan is sixteen standard years Anakin's elder, they have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged their two lives into one

…

This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals.

It was Anakin against Obi-Wan.

Personally.

Just the two of them and the damage they had done to each other
