show me what you can do with just a pen! (...do multi-color pens count?)

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

I need sb to tell me why of all the games that tackle depression (and many much more directly and/or nuanced) This is the first one in a long ass time that really hit me. Might be because his struggle is truly reflected in the gameplay idk

I mean I thought that's all it is too. But then there's this one moment where you suddenly stop laughing and it gets a little too real. And then you're haunted by this basement dwelling loser who is taking one literal step after the other on his way to finally learn how to ask for help and maaan

I bought so many amazing games recently but the only one I can think about is fucking Baby Steps.
It's constantly on my mind, haunting me, all I want to do is Talk about it, what it means and what it symbolizes but HOW when it's just a joke of a ragebait game to most??

the "Death" card from the upcoming Vampire's Tarot from Llewellyn Publishing. Image depicts a female Death kissing a woman kneeling on a tomb in an overgrow cemetery.

The last card for the Vampire's Tarot has been turned in. 78 illustrations completed this year for my fifth and final tarot deck.

My wrist hurts ⚰️

Hopefully I'll soon have news from the publisher about release dates, so stay tuned

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Thought about infinite fusion again and how much I enjoyed making sprites for it. I wanted to be the Nr1 farfetch’d spriter and never got there. Kind of stopped trying when I told a friend and she asked me what it is I’m currently procrastinating. Took the wind out my sails. She was right but damn
