this place is not a place of honor

no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here

nothing valued is here

what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us

this place is best shunned and left uninhabited

It's easy to see why you turned to villainy after all the other superheroes kept making fun of your danglers.

It's tough because I don't think anyone ever really sees themselves as a great artist, because in every single thing you make you're aware of all of the problems it has and all the things that don't look quite right and the parts that could be better, which others don't necessarily see.

And the kinds of art that are lucrative are things that I generally don't enjoy or that aren't in my wheelhouse (things like portrait commissions, animation, UI/UX design, 3d modeling). So the thing I've been learning is that "neat art" doesn't really take you very far on its own, you have to come up with something else as a delivery vehicle for that art (like a comic, animation, game, etc) which has been difficult because it's a new skillset to take on and I always get super ambitious about it then fall flat because ultimately I'm not that interested in that stuff beyond the like, temporary novel rush of imagining the personality or life of a character I'm doodling or imagining how this character doodle could fit into a bigger whole.

Also it's impossible to grow or maintain an audience without a lot of social media posting and I hate social media :smith:

Is it ok if I steal one of these for an av?

deep dish peat moss

Yeah go for it! If it looks weird when you resize it then let me know which one and I can export an av-sized version, the ones I have on my ipad are much larger than these

e: well okay they're a little over twice the size but still

I like to eat carrots and save lives, and I'm all out of carrots.

In fact, I've never had a carrot in my life since alfalfa and hay are the only biological foodstuffs that were bred to survive the harsh radiation of space. I hear they're good though.

I've heard plenty of people who are, at some level, "good at art" say this, and I understand what you are saying, but then the rest of us like myself go to draw something and it looks like a 4-year-old with a broken arm drew it and there's only like a 25% chance that anyone will even recognize what it is supposed to be, lol.

I'm going through my monthly thing of withdrawing from adderall because my prescription didn't get refilled in time but once I get it back (hopefully tomorrow? unless my doctor forgot to send it in while traveling for the holidays again...) I'm gonna do a bunch of new art :3:

It's so annoying when that happens and now everyone is getting sick so my friendly neighborhood walgreens is slow af


Thanks Plant MONSTER. and deep dish peat moss and deep dish peat moss and deep dish peat moss

deep dish peat moss

Yeah, thankfully I've found some ways to deal with the anxiety and the crash from the withdrawal, like kava tea which is a reuptake inhibitor for the same neurotransmitters as Adderall so it helps ease the creeping dread and depression. But I'm still very tired and completely lack focus, and it sucks that this happens almost every month.

I also use walgreens and it's a huge hassle to even call their pharmacy and speak to someone, I feel your pain

Shifty Nipples

oh man yeah trying to call them sucks I usually end up going there to talk to someone in person. the prescription status tracking thing sucks too, has nothing changed for three days because they had to order more pills to fill it or has their system somehow just eaten the prescription they had on file so I have to call and get my doctor to send in a new one lol


Thanks Plant MONSTER. and deep dish peat moss and deep dish peat moss and deep dish peat moss

deep dish peat moss

With the way my state's law on Adderall works, they have to put me on a list to be investigated if I ever seem agitated when contacting them about my medication, which is difficult sometimes because when I'm like 3 days in on withdrawing because of a shortage or because my doctor forgot to write a prescription while traveling or whatever, I'm agitated and twitchy. But also, I have to contact them every month to have it filled, it never fills on its own and it's never available in their phone system (because adderall prescriptions here can't be written in a "refillable" way and have to be manually submitted every 30 days by the doctor, and they can't be pre-written or written for extra days or written a day early or anything like that which is what causes so many problems).

I at least got a monthly pill calendar thing so I can stop accidentally taking an extra one because I forgot I already took two that day, at least :kiddo: But with the national shortage and delays in filling it every month for the last ~6 months I've been seriously considering switching to an alternative that wouldn't work nearly as well but wouldn't cause a monthly interruption of everything

What's even more frustrating is that brand name adderall is readily available all the time, but it costs around $600/month as opposed to the $30/month I pay for the generic that's never in stock.

My meds are finally getting refilled in an hour, which is kinda cool because I get them at night which means I can be on a night schedule for a while where I stay up and draw at night when there are no distractions :kiddo:
