Hi guys! I have returned from my phase of hiatus to come see you all. =3 Because I missed you and I love you all like nuts!
Since I owe you an explanation, I'll go ahead with it.
You see, right now we are in the last stages of moving (for me it's just a matter of unpacking and organizing all my junk. XD) , we're just getting the very last bit of crap into our new house, and the internet FINALLY started working.
But before this, when I suddenly disappeared, we were in the earlier stages of moving and once we got our furniture and dishes and our other important crap outta there, we had to move our internet router as well with everything else. (which meant that until we moved it, we only got internet access on the computer at the old house, and my bed was already at the new house by this time...so basically I was a zombie for a while. ><)
This created a whole 'nother cluster of drama that stretched out over weeks of procrastination, huge clusterfricks of stuff that needed to be set up and unpacked, and hold music.
This whole time I was pretty much being forced to use my phone for EVERYTHING. @@ Going on tumblr, checking DA (I couldnt reply, I'll get to that in a minute), and going onto youtube was especially my biggest pet peeve.
I could check DA on my phone, yes. I could have replied to messages as they came, yes. But that tiny screen wasnt very good at recognizing what buttons I was pressing because TYPOS EVERYWHERRR. And several glitches went on that I dont know how they happened because I am not a tech wiz.
In a nutshell: DA SUCKS on my phone. I am pretty sure DA got rid of their mobile layout or something, because it only shows up on my phone as the desktop view now and its FRICKING FRUSTRATING, if not even more frustrating then when they did have a mobile layout.
I dont have an iphone like most people with the best software possible, I have one of the latest models of the htc EVO phone. And I gotta tell ya, as much as I love it (not a huge believer in the iphone, though I am reconsidering it) it can sometimes be a HUGE pain in the ass. Especially when I'm probably overloading it using the internet. (poor baby. ;
Youtube's only glitch was that it would give me the "sorry, this video cannot be played" error a lot. Sure it didnt happen TOO often, I usually got pretty good video as far as getting through them went...but every once and a while it would go through short phases where it wouldnt let me see a video and it seemed to happen a lot considering I thought I didnt have legitimate internet for a month.
That was the only glitch it had, and I lived with it, it was tolerable, but so god damn annoying. ><
GMAIL, Tumblr, and Twitter were probably the only three apps that didnt have one glitch on it. Not one.
(though I think that the Gmail app needs work. Just sayng)
Anyways, remember when my internet went wonky and AT&T were all being completely useless idiots? Well we had to go through that whole cycle again just to make our internet work.
My mom called on and off for a couple of days, they put her on hold at least twice each time she called.
When we finally got a technician over here, he was actually turned out to be useful this time, for he only came over twice and our internet was working a few days later.
But of course, my mom decided to be a troll and didnt tell me it was working until TODAY when I reminded her about it! XD So basically I was wandering around for three whole days thinking my laptop wasnt going to work for me but it COULD. AND NOBODY SAID A THING. XDD
Even though that pisses me off, I am way too overcome with joy that my latop is finally available. XDD
Also! I had finals this week and I've still got a whole clusterfrick of crap to unpack and organize, so I probably wouldnt have had time for DA much anyway.
This whole week was minimum days and finals really took a lot outta me, seriously! Just today I've been asleep from the minute I got home (which was around 12:30 ) to about 5:00 when it was getting dark out already. I was WIPED OUT.
Its an hour later since I woke up and I'm still tired. I think maybe another nap would do me some good. .//.
And when it comes to finals, dont worry, I'm just okay. The only final that I'm not too sure about how I did is health. And the written part if my Beginning Foods final was a huge pain in the ass. ><
English was easy, math was easy, rain got me out of doing the mile for my P.E. final (yay!), and biology was a breeze.
I got the highest grade in my class by far in biology. I got a 95%. The TA told me so and I feel proud. =3 I also got the highest score in english too, 100%.
So theres my excuse for being gone. Yeah I know, lot to take in huh? XD
But I am back my dears and now I finally have finished all my finals and the drama is over. ^^
So...tell me about YOUR day. =3

Piggy Bank
Hey there! If you’d like to support me and my work, or simply just wanna show your appreciation, please consider contributing to my piggy bank! (Basically my tip jar.) There arent any perks here, but I appreciate you and am immensely grateful for the love and kindness! Thank you so much, and God bless you all! ^^
$1/month
All right. Who's not dead? Sound off.
So ah...hi everyone lol. It's been a hot minute hasn't it...? ^^; Before I say anything, I would like to sincerely apologize for my sudden disappearence from this site. With all the stuff that went down with DA's Ai program (among other problems I had been having before then which affected my mental health and relationship with this site significantly, which I wont go into here. If you want to know what happened you can dm me) I completely crashed and just...needed to get away from this place. It just wasn't doing me any good to stay and force myself to post here when coming here brought me so much anxiety. So I did what I felt was best for me and checked out for a while. Then after I went ahead and did that, a lot of big changes went down in my life just as the new year started that kinda changed how I prioritized certain things. I now have a dayjob. I have my own place. I'm finally taking my first steps into independence, and while it is very overwhelming, I am immensely grateful
Why I will not be watching Rings of Power
I’ve seen a few people in my general circle ask if I’d be interested in watching the new Amazon LOTR show that's coming out and I’m not entirely sure how to tell them no without being super blunt about it (because truth be told I am repulsed by the fact that Tolkien's work is being desecrated like this by this particular company sO DANG MUCH and tbh I really wish it had just been allowed to go into the public domain instead) AND I DONT WANT TO DO THAT so in an effort to not go off on a gigantic diatribe to them about why I‘m not comfortable supporting this, I’m just gonna make this journal expressing my reasons and getting it off my chest and people can take it or leave it as it is. No shame if you watch this show and like it, I promise I dont hate you if you do and by all means keep watching it if it brings you joy. I am not here to take that away from anyone. But this is where I am at with it currently and I can't sit here and pretend I'm here to support it when I just don't. (That
Lotr OC Development Thoughts
Okay so this wasn’t part of my original plan for Radrien or the fae’s genetics at all but I got an idea and I want to share it with the group pfft. So even if I dont make Radrien‘s hair black (which at this point I might not, even though the idea of giving her dark-ish hair still isn’t out of the question entirely), what if Radrien‘s hair had the same texture as Sanguine’s before she discovered her element? like it was curly/wavy before she found it but after she found it it kinda flattened out as it was turning blue? (And she’s lowkey probably a little salty about it and was so glad that Sanguine ended up with that same texture when she was born.) I only ask because I want Sanguine to kinda be a balanced combo of both her dad and her mom but because her father’s design is kinda up in the air atm I’m having to brainstorm it out. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT GENETICS DONT WORK LIKE THAT but…they’re faeries pfft. They already dont operate by the rest of the world’s logic by definition so why
Art Goals for 2022
It may not be new years quite yet but I wanted to make a list of the different projects/imrpovement goals I wanna see in my art next year. Heres to hoping I can accomplish what I want to accomplish lol. Finish up the new character references for Eli and the rest of the Salvation cast. I’ve got most of them started in the sketching phase but I’d love to get them all squared away since they’re my firstborns lol. Finish up Aphrodite’s new character reference. It’s in bits and pieces rn but I have all the components at least sketched out. Make new character references for Shade and co. She hasnt gotten a digital reference yet and I think she deserves one. Practice more with perspective/composition and backgrounds. I wanna make my artwork look a bit more cinematic/atmospheric, and while I have made a lot of progress this year, it’s smth I still struggle with. Maybe going a more painterly route would help me but I’m not sure. See if I can figure out a way to streamline my art process so I
