Tiny update, though I’m gonna stay on hiatus: I feel better than I did this morning. Sorry for scaring y’all, I’ve just been really overwhelmed lately.
Again, take care of yourselves and take a break from here if you need to 💙

Tried to write up a thread talking about my shitty living situation and potential solutions in hopes that maybe I can open emergency commissions or something to get me into a hotel for a bit, but it made me too depressed.
Yeah, I think taking a break from here is a good idea.

I think I’m gonna take a break from this site for a bit. My mind and body are completely exhausted and the doomscrolling ain’t helping.
You can find me on discord as nebulaics, but maybe give me a heads up before adding me so I know who you are.
Take care and stay safe out there.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

The next few days will be incredibly painful for disabled, LGBTQ+ & marginalized folks
I’m seeing alot of “we survived him once & we will do it again!”
I appreciate the sentiment, but gentle reminder that not everyone survived the first term
It’s ok to be scared & angry. I know I am.

A necromancer in my high fantasy AU, his right hand is raised toward the sky, his left hand is pointing to earth. Divine immanence, the ability to bridge the gap between heaven and earth

As critical as I’ve been of TikTok over the years, I feel absolutely terrible for any creator or small business who gained a following there and had it all just… ripped away. That’s their livelihood, and now they have to scramble to find another platform.
It sucks.
It sucks.

It’s always a good time, but especially now, to bookmark the websites of artists you like. Maybe even have an offline list of names of folks you want to keep up with/support in your notes app or whatever. Never know what app, website, etc will be banned next. 🤡

Next time I decide to spend an entire day playing a game that has a hallucination/panic/unreality mechanic, kindly remind me:
1) don’t do that
2) you’re already prone to hallucinating, you silly goose
3) seriously, don’t do that

Saying this now if you have followed small streamers, businesses, artists, and more on TikTok please try to find and follow them on other platforms today.
Many people are going to be affected because of this ban.

I used to regularly stay up past midnight gaming and hanging out with friends.
Now, I’m fighting the sleepytireds and losing- and have been since 9:00 PM.
When did I gain a reasonable sleep schedule???? I barely recognize myself!

the edits are for two things. One being for color corrections, as I had only recently realized the old palette was made for Nightshift, so too purple, etc. The other being some physical spritework changes, just because some things bothered me for a while.

TAX TIME!!!!! Kody is right. Just save a ~30% "just in case" pile and never touch it. And if you don't owe: yippee!
ALSO. Creatives don't forget that things like PayPal fees/Sales fees are deductible business expenses. I'll link my post about that in the reply to this quote.

anyway, this is your annual psa to all my fellow U.S. freelancers. please, do yourselves the favor and just set aside ~30% of your income for quarterly estimated tax payments so you don't get hit with owing the IRS all art once during tax season!!
