I'm a 29 year old artist who's been in the fandom for over a decade.
I enjoy drawing themes that range from emotional to sexy.
I love expressing myself through my art in as many ways as I can and it has been a huge emotional outlet for me throughout the years.
I hope that I'm able to help feel comfortable expressing themselves in similar ways, and I hope that my work has been cathartic for some of you.
Thank you for taking the time to be here to appreciate it and the meaning it entails.

Also, I use scraps /a lot/. I try to keep my gallery pieces that I like better than the rest. Scraps = a ton of stuff.

UPDATE - Current Medication Status
a week agoI'll try to keep it relatively short since I don't want to add too much clutter.
Things have gotten better but in very small ways - I feel the enjoyment and want to draw kind of being there? I feel joy in more external things like maybe going out or having a nice meal. But I am still struggling severely with my lack of motivation.
I did some digging, mostly to get an idea of how much time it took for others to "feel better" after reducing their meds,
and I ended up finding names for what I'm experiencing - so it waas a little victory personally - as I've been struggling deeply to feel like what I'm experiencing can actually be treated,
I will get bursts of inspiration - often because I take Concerta (adhd med) which makes me feel somewhat functional, But even with my concerta I feel I've actively a nd potentially gotten worse at everything else?
I'm essentially experiencing worser symptoms of:
- Self care. It is still abysmal - like barely functional.
- Lack of sleep. I learnt that largley has to do with anhedonia more than likely.
- Efficacy of art - I've been either slow, hyper focused on one area of a piece f or hours or days etc.
- Lack of interest in most things too (I played competitive splatoon and thye desire to play it has literally evaporated in thin air in just two weeks?)
- Nonexistent desire to go outside
Positives:
- Definitely feel more mentally creative? Like actually coming up with ideas isn't as difficult as it once was.
- Small bursts of motivation/drive - typically only seen in art right now though and it seems to fluctuate pretty unpredictably.
- Feeling a little more sociable . Seeking people out more and laughing more (not to the degree I;d like but still a positive!)
- More interest in little things like cuddling my animals.
Other Concerns:
- Concerta seems to be the only thing truly able to allow the positives to occur. When I am off the Concerta, I am in bed for hours a day , or in a vegetative like sleep state.
———————————————
Another big positive is that in doing some significant digging I found out about something called Neuroleptic-induced deficit syndrome. and tbh it matches almost -exactly- what I'm experiencing.
I see my psych again on the 20th so I'll be relaying this all to her and updating y'all with more changes.
Again thanks for your patience. It';s been rough but I'm hanging in there. I also can't thank my roommate, lordsalt, for being as supportive, patient and kind and as he has been. I literally don't know what I'd do without him
