Learning the difference between being a little uncomfortable and being in actual danger is something you HAVE to learn. Possibly have to start speed running it now if you’re planning on surviving the long term.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags.
But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person.
Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

shape of the creature...why are you so paws

Silly simplified drawing of a Canada lynx trotting to the right. Its proportions are only slightly exaggerated to emphasize its massive, fluffy paws.

Thanks for the tag and for hosting, Sean!

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Davis, nice to meet you!

Digital painting of an ethereal woman shackled in outer space, her head replaced by a black hole.
The black hole's radiating energy merges with the cosmos, while dark bands swirl around her. body, symbolizing entrapment.
The image conveys the idea that absolute certainty is a mental prison, with the woman's chains and the black hole illustrating the constraints of rigid thinking.

Digital painting of an ethereal woman swimming through space as though it is made of ocean waves. She is facing away from the viewer with both arms outstretched toward a small glowing celestial body.

surreal digital artwork depicting a young woman with short, wavy hair, whose eyes and part of her face are obscured by an arc-shaped band of starry space. The space band includes planets and celestial bodies orbiting around her head, blending with her hair. She wears a dark, high-necked outfit that appears to merge with the starry background, giving the impression that she is part of the cosmos. The color scheme is a mix of soft sepia tones and deep space blues and purples.

Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful.
She's part of everything and distinct.

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

A group of young adventurers approach a mysterious shrine where a sword emerges from a rock shrouded in mist. A key concept art painting by Andy Porter for Gardens Interactive's new game.

A picture of a dragon and a girl falling towards it into its maw. The dragon is far bigger than her with white coloring. It has blue eyes. The girl has white hair, pale skin, and is dressed in a vest and trousers. Her and the dragon are the same creature.

I did work on Anais’ dragon form and the horn will bother me forever probably but thanks to Dev in gremmy’s server she has A LOT better textures now. Also the Twintania crests are so cute on her.
