boy howdy I sure am loved!!!

probably because I posted it at 9:25pm, lol

the Fluff Orb

this project is 90% of the reason I've fallen off social media this year; it's a huge part of my life right now. I'm in love with writing in a way I haven't been since early high school but GOD it's a rough job/hobby to have sometimes shfjfjkdgl

of course I was already planning for a lot of rewrites (because editing), but I think I actually have to stop and redraft several large chunks of the story before I can move forward, which I was REALLY trying to avoid lmao

it's funny because I probably would've given them a lot more money over the years if they weren't like this, but now I feel like I have a moral obligation never to give them another dime lmao

literally would have been 1000% easier to pirate it (and had less malware too)

ngl, getting consistent positive responses to what I thought was my most off-putting and least sharable creative pursuit is helping to heal something inside me

I don't know why but a small group of people really seem to like my weird lobster guy???

I only want to be seen in blurry photos taken from the window of a moving car in the dead of night; anything more than that is embarrassing

every year of my life that passes brings with it a greater understanding of Bill Watterson's life choices

why does my only marketable talent have to be in a field that requires the attention of hundreds of thousands of strangers in order to be considered successful

does god hate me

yes

plus if I practice enough I will eventually be able to sculpt a kitty cat in a few minutes flat and there are few things I want more in life than that

I think next year I'll get a big tub of Model Magic and make a buuuuunch of tiny cats. Drawings are awesome and all but personally I go feral seeing my little dudes as real physical objects and I think more people should get to experience that feeling

it's been a few years since the last time I did these

I do a lot of 3d art that I just never photograph or post anywhere...the pics never come out looking quite right and I just get frustrated lol

my curio cabinet is already close to overflowing

adding "pretending to be an eldritch lobster on the internet in order to confuse complete strangers" to my list of creative pursuits that I will never be able to explain to my grandma
