how many "this is not a ship" disclaimers can i slap onto my art and tell myself in writing before it genuinely just becomes a canon ship. every time i entertain a "what if" or a crackship... every time...

i don't hatewatch hazbin, i HOPEWATCH, it just disappoints me every time. never have i been so hooked by a first episode and felt so hollow by a season finale before. i'm a DANGANRONPA FAN, hazbin is like my second cousin, do you think i WANT to hate this?????

it also kills me how vivzie has my exact drafting style when it comes to writing. what's more relatable than having ocs dating back to highschool and keeping them unchanged and bouncing them from different projects? i have an alastor. i write the cool scenes first and build the rest around it. sometimes i like the side-cast more than the main one too. i root for hazbin, i DO, i just wish it were GOOD.

mostly pilots from OC artists who've been building their worlds up for years :] go support em! ...and there's also some mc too...

lace & linen [comic] — elegant artwork, gorgeous landscapes and costumes, quiet but tense. about a mercenary and their ex-friend who just happens to be their hit :]
metadora [comic] — CUTE! reminds me of a shonen or a saturday morning cartoon! it's a short introduction to a world of superhumans, secret agents, and family dramas >:D
anjail [animated pilot, interactive YT videos] — vibrant, humorous, and full of heart. it's about a guy who dies. don't wanna spoil much more, GO WATCH IT! i adore the worldbuilding and the attention to different languages, all of the characters are so loveable, and the main hook/plot twist had me smiling so hard. youtube NERFED IT when they took down the alternate endings but badjaune is working on a renpy port for them! exciting!
iron lung [movie] — i almost crashed my car coming out of the theatre LOL it was very good and i like thinking about it. i'm a dumbass tho and only started piecing things together long after i'd seen it 😭
midoffs s3 [mcsr tournament] — i was SEATED. unlike s1 and s2, i knew most of the participants this time around and so the stakes felt a lot higher for me bcs i knew who i was rooting for. this was spectacular - the weeks of training, seeing runners' coaching styles and their students slowly improve. the banter, the hype on torney days... THE GAMBLING!!!!!! in midoffs NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. i love midoffs!!!!!!!!!
decayed & decrepit [livestream RP event] — i don't think i'm getting the most from this series bcs i don't typically enjoy long livestreams when they involve lore/improv - too sporadic for my liking and so i often tab in and out to do chores. the pace is par for the medium but i'm sad i'm not as invested as i want to be bcs the cure machine is genuinely one of the coolest mcguffins for an apocalypse setting ive seen in recent memory. love the wide range of rp opportunities it gives and i enjoy the snippets i take in. ideally i'll lock in when ccs put out more cut-down YT videos. rn my main pov is jawn :]

for the future

in my cart/to-read:

metaphysical birbs [comic] - giro cammino

looking forward to release:

queen of jacks [comic] - par0llel
the lovers [animated short film] - studio heartbreak
the secret world of briar rose [novel] - cindy pham

no new artblog batch for a very long time because i've been chattering shaking shivering like a chihuahua lately. BUT I'VE GOTTA SHARE MY MONTHLY MUSE..... LET IT BE KNOWN: this is my favorite song ever right now

2-6-26 | re: despair

okay i may have been a little dramatic. krita doesn't have a mode where you can draw in CMYK, just a button where you can toggle the settings. either way it's a lot better than having to export my ibis file, then send it to my laptop (bcs web image editors r so scuffed on mobile), then put it through a RGB to CMYK converter, then export the file back to my phone to mess with the colors again. rgb in print form isn't even that bad, i just use a lot of earthy tones in general which makes it suffer. the standees are coming. i've just been going on many sidequests since

i will say, lasso tool art with the stylus is SOOO HARD..... surprisingly i can't cover as much surface area with one swoop than i can on my phone somehow...

1-28-26 | RGB, CMYK, and despair

was deciding on how i wanted to splurge my comm money when i landed on making 2 double-sided acrylic standees for my polarityduo designs. not to sell or anything, just for personal use :] i got soo attached to that idea and spent a whole weekend designing the standees, their poses, background, size, and making sure the price was doable... only to realize after finishing that the company i was working with uses CMYK, and my drawing program, ibispaint, only supports RGB. meaning i can't make acrylics or prints or ANY physicals of my artwork bcs everything i've ever made has been in RGB. surly you'd think RGB and CYMK wouldn't have THAT much of a color difference right? but i put my art through a color converter and realized that RGB makes physical products so noticeably desaturated and brownish that there's nO possibility of it looking good. i tried to edit my colors via filters but it was just SO not worth the time. the amount of despair this landed me in was unfathomable.

i haven't given up on the standee idea. but now i gotta pick up a Real art program for Real artists on a Real platform that isn't a phone I GUESS. i'm borrowing my sister's tablet and i'm straight up krita-ing it. here's a callisto

a cartoonish digital sketch portrait of callisto. the program gui is included in the screenshot.

the tablet is smaller than my laptop screen so i find myself moving the pen off the tablet a lot, it's like a mouse with a small mousepad LOL. it'll take a bit to get used to but i'm excited, krita's brush selection is really pretty.

seeing job offers, getting excited, and then seeing they're from MLMs. i'll literally kill you

1-17-26 | MCYT

i am very very happy to have delved into MCYT again at the time i did, i've always wanted to get into hermitcraft & the life series but both of them having a ton of seasons really turned me off from it. 'nice life' really appeared at the perfect time, i had just finished watching saps' chained life series and just so happened to see grian's nice life pov in my recommended afterwards and clicked on a whim. what a cute little series honestly! felt very cozy and much more wholesome compared to smps i've watched before. gaming YT in general is v crude, i don't know the last time i've watched any family-friendly creators but it's rly so refreshing. branching out to other nice life povs got me rly excited to start hermitcraft bcs the 11th season literally just started too - feels like a good place to start. i feel very blessed aaa

i love visiting dollar general. it is my favorite activity

★ 1-15-26 | re: on twitter again

update on a previous microblog entry abt joining statetwt

aside from the general perils of yknow being on twitter, this my experience hasn't been ALL bad. i feel a lot of honor being moots with cool artists and i want to make more friends... even if some conflict in the community has happened the past few months, much of what i said in my original "on twitter again" microblog is still true imo. the artists in this space r so supportive and interact so much ;o; additionally, the nice thing about the statesmp community is that most state ccs are not even ccs but the average state fan who just HAPPENED to get into an ish event. if we're all normal, there should be no special treatment. regardless, can i geek the fuck out a little?

why is it always the drawings i don't like that end up getting warm reception, is there a word for that? i got my first few cc notices, one of whom just HAPPENED to play a favorite character of mine like whatever this is a normal amount of heartwarming for me. and right afterwards, on the literal DAY i opened my commissions, a separate cc contacted me for a comm. r u joking. like r u actually joking my first comm ever is from a community i love like r we jokiiing. i feel much warmth, but also... (shudder) the responsibility of being perceived.....

i enjoy statetwt but my enjoyment of being IN IT swings like a pendulum, i haaaate posting while having limited curation/customization tools for my own art and profile like neocities :/ my desire for posting slowly lowered to the point i recently contemplated locking my acc & leaving lol. crossposting from neocities is no longer appealing to me and i had a good run and shit right. but i haven't gotten an afreakinturkey notice yet. ong i can't leave till i draw him and post it. otherwise what's the point right.

1-5-26 | manifesto

i considered making a "web manifesto" like some other neocities sites but i genuinely don't remember how i found neocities at all or why i even decided i wanted an artblog lol. its such an ingrained part of my hobbying now but i don't remember how i ever got into it
