I turn things into dragons

Also here's a pattern that I've found that works for me before I retreat into my hole to work for the day:

First, acknowledge the thing, even if it scares you

Have the feelings about it, try not to spiral, but let them happen

Deeeeep breath

Pick one thing you can control

Do that as best you can
One day I’ll go through my experiences in some sketchy-ass group chats that went full “we support the doxxing of the people we find problematic” cuz I think more people should probably be A) aware that happened and B) learn how to recognize the Protect The Children misdirection in fandom as well.

Every time some “Protect The Children!” Bullshit happens I want this video and this woman to get an AVALANCHE of new views and attention because no “Protect The Children” initiative has ever ACTUALLY been ABOUT protecting the children. Not in this culture. Not at this time.

Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad

Also in light of the Discord Shenanigans Of ‘26 I’ll most likely be conducting any future commission business exclusively via email.

Cuz that shit is WILD.

Also if you see me making fun of myself and worry:

I’m fine. It’s fun! You should try it out if you’re in a place where it won’t actually hurt you. It’s pretty cathartic most days.

Found a cute brush yesterday for sketchy stuff, feels really nice. Used it for the details in my latest adoptable art.

Hate that social media is so good for meeting interesting people AND for running afoul of the most volatile jerkbags this side of the whatever

Cuz damn those are two VERY different extremes to oscillate between so frequently and often

I keep getting sad thinking I don't have good things to look forward to. But then I thought "I can make good things to look forward to." And I feel a bit better.

I think my most solid advice for existing publicly/semi-publicly online in any capacity would be to be extremely careful about making yourself too appealing to the kinds of people who only ever show up to start shit.
