I'm a 28 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.

PLZ Read. Update.. TW/grooming and abuse
12 days agoIn making that post I also was finally able to open up about people who abused me in the fandom as a kid which made me eventually feel like those meds were the course of action I needed to take for myself.

So please read and engage with it if you have a Twitter. It's getting no traction cuz the algorithm is hard suppressing it cuz I'm shadow banned. And it really sucks that after 15 yrs of struggling and never being open outside of like vaguely, I can finally do so and it's actively deplatformed.
As for art, I'm finally working towards recovering. For years I thought there was no way the meds could be doing what they did, and I ruled out every bad event, environment, physical issue and even turned to coping habits to help the creativity like taking too much of my ADHD meds, mushrooms and anxiety meds cuz they would make me feel anything. I was trying so hard but no matter what I did the interest in art and doing it and loving it for others and myself slowly just got worse until I suddenly wasn't at all anymore which prompted all of this change and reflection.
My 20s were completely destroyed basically by how much this all affected me but oh well. Like I'm here now. I'm about to turn 30 and I'm excited to move again.
My psych took me off one of the two high dosed antipsychotics I was on. I was way over medicated cuz there was a possibility too that I never had bipolar at all, just unchecked and unmanaged autism.
So far after about a week I do feel a little better, noticing little things are making me feel things. At first I was freaking out that I wouldn't get any feeling or desire back but after the last day or so I def feel that hope again.
Again, thank you for always being so patient with me in regards to art. And I'm sorry that I couldn't love myself sooner to realize this was what was happening until it was too late and the only form of expression I ever had was gone.
I felt so guilty from the fact that I always felt I had an update for people that made sense, only to fail them and myself when I didn't draw more. I would always have these windows of motivation and try to fit my goals around it but every time I tried again I was only able to do less and less. It was very awful and it only made me try harder in other ways to force that drive despite it actively hurting me. It's very hard to accept that if I had just loved myself enough to accept that I was a little flawed, none of this would have happened but I know what to do now.
Thank you again for everything and for support me and listening to me and caring. And for seeing this through again and again and again.
And I hate to plug my Kofi in again at all, but I had to push my new job date back because of how unstable this all made me and the withdrawals so far. So Im out of an income currently and any eyes on my bases will be nice! I'll try to find the motivation to maybe do small stuff like those YCHs rn too if I can. But for now the bases are all I got. ):
