WELL i spilled ink all over my pants mid-stream so i called it a night before i could fuck up any worse
looks like you're end of June! So only about six weeks after me I think (looked you up on clearsky.app)
Thanks! Mostly I'm just happy I've made some new friends and that people are reliably seeing my art for the first time in like.. two years.
I mean I've been here for a year so it took some effort, and I was lucky that I got in early when there were fewer accounts, but idk just reply to people and repost stuff. Do art shares. Just generally being nice to people without trying too hard to be funny or overly familiar seems to go over well.
I haven't gotten past 5k anywhere and that's PERFECTLY fine with me, but I've had my professional account on instagram since.... 2018? I think? That's when I started actually trying, anyway. And I think I hit 4k a couple years ago and haven't grown since. it's actually insane?? show people my shit!!
I'VE DONE IT
eat my whole entire ass twitter
(once again follower count is irrelevant but it is just very affirming/annoying that if it weren't for fucking algorithms i'd be doing much better)
holy moly
iโm already so close to 1K
i was on twitter for YEARS and only ever cracked 1.2k it was ridiculous
i will allow it he is a very sweet himbo boy even if he does possibly hold unspoken horrors in his past
he will welcome it and you may bury yourself in his doughy little belly too
premee i can't remember if you've actually SEEN the boy have you SEEN the boy
i love drawing my cat with massive guilty eyes. he always looks like he just hid a body and it kills me
i see we are taking the reverse-psychology moot strategy. commendable.
Yes! I couldn't use it until today when a friend sent me a code. But everything else is the same I believe.
love being moots with you kim itโs an honour and a privilege to be moots
Local artist!! Everything she does is SO kickass

got my last batch of print orders to the post office (in my new favourite tote)! i have a CLEAN SLATE once again!
Yeah. New connections, plus the playing field is a little more level again, which I admit does SUCK for some of the more established folks who weren't of like.. Loish-level fame, but I've seen growth for myself for the first time in a really long while and it's very affirming.
That's how I'm trying to approach it. It's taken a lot of effort but I know the twitter fiasco has been a net gain for me so far.
It was so good. Might have to add Hemsworth to my list of actors titled "character actor cursed with leading man looks"
k but this movie absolutely fucked!! I was killing myself with delight over Chris Hemsworth's accent and after the movie I was like "he was 100% channeling some crazy family member's accent I just know it"
Just looked it up and YES he was doing an impression of his grandfather!! Also seagulls.
I could not gaze upon Scrotus without thinking he looked like a โfucked up Mikey Dayโ

for more movie reviews follow me on letterboxd (alexplalex) i guarantee youโll be disappointed
yeah i get that! i do genuinely enjoy drawing pictures of my surroundings and kinda championing MB a bit, but my true love lies in stupid little cartoons and comics.
โฆ.one pays a lot more bills than the other one at this point in time though lmao

so many times i've noticed someone's "married" status go mysteriously missing... and I just can't help myself, okay?
I'm actually kind of shocked at how much better I feel today. I was in an actual pit of despair yesterday and right now I feel like a completely normal (albeit mildly stressed) person lmao
i canโt manage sensory overload like an adult after a week of no sleep i turn into an actual troll
it might also be because she didnโt seem to be possessed by an entire pantheon of chaos gods this morning and i didnโt wake up in a sensory rage that never abated due to her whining and sobbing because i โgave her the things she asked forโ, but againโฆ you canโt really tell from this example.
yesterday a part of me wanted to lie down in the middle of a 6-lane thoroughfare and accept whatever happened next but today iโm all smiles.
i suspect itโs because my kid slept through the night and didnโt wake me up at the asscrack of dawn after letting me take a two hour nap at 3 am, but idk.
also those ballpoints are so CHEAP i should honestly send more money to the maker for the amount of use i get out of em
i was hoping youโd like em! i have the same issue with a lot of inking pens in procreate. theyโre so scritchy and i like a soft edge
Agreed. They also have a couple of free eps on Youtube so you can check em out first.
