Hey! I hate to ask for handouts and don't mean to come across as such, as that's not what this is for necessarily. I've been meaning to work on commissions, as in actually setting it up and working on the info itself and with the unexpected passing of my father on Jan 30th, I'm going to try to do just that when I have time or if it comes down to it, if we're stable before or as I'm getting a job it'll be different, there's a hiring freeze at the place I'm trying to get into so the guy will get back to me whenever he can. Right now I'm spending time with family during this time as my mom and I figure stuff out during our free time. My dad was the one who covered the mortgage payments so I just want to help my mom pay for it so we have a roof over our heads, I don't have a job yet and am waiting for a slot where my parents worked and my mom is taking time off and using vacation/sick time to be paid before she has to go back. Issue is, her last paycheck is coming up. We're also trying to figure out stuff with a grief counselor, but I digress. It's only my mom, me and two cats now. The mortgage is a little over $700 a month and I don't want her to do everything by herself and be alone. So, if I open commissions and I'm still drained as it's been hard for me to even pick up a pencil I will start off with small things (like sketch comms, MLP comms, etc) just to get things started. I still have to figure out if I want to open a shop of my own or mess with sites like redbubble, I'm still figuring out Kofi for tips and payments there. I will update with the full information soon once everything is settled if I can. I'm just tired and mentally exhausted, possibly still going through shock, so I haven't felt the energy to keep up conversations so if you think I'm ignoring you, I'm not! I apologize if it's ever come off as such, things have been hectic. Anyways, I wish you all the best and hope all is well!

You know what

I need sims 4 just so I can make my OCs in it and figure out the structure of Valentina's Mansion/house so when I draw it I'll know what the fuck I'm actually doing for once lmao. I'll have a big ass ref sheet in the Sims.

I think part of the reason why I love Streber sm and that he's a big comfort stems from the fact that I was also one of those freak ass lil vampire kids. I have two bat beanie babies that are from my childhood hung up like they're sleeping on my plushie net; I took them to school for Halloween as a kid and they'd have parades at my elementary-middle(?????) school where the elementary students show off their costumes and parents can join in too if they want. My parents were also dressed as vampires. We dressed up as a family of vampires. 🧍

Anyways new headcanon that Streber was like that as a kid because I'm projecting./lh

Bruh doing skincare and being autistic or any form of neurodivergent sucks.

Like for one you can absolutely forget to do your skin care in any way for god knows how long and/or!!! The feeling of the product sucks absolute ass!! And it's probably worse if the product actually works for your skin because you know you need to put it on to feel better in some way with your skin but!! You don't want to do it because of the sensory overload it gives you.

I have this oil thing idk what it's called but it's in a dropper and it's a moisturizer. Everytime I touch it with my hands and/or the feeling of it on my face makes me want to commit unsubscribe from life.

I almost forgot!! I made picrews of the Heartfelt siblings! I used this picrew !!

Naira (left;he/him but is fine with out her pronouns) and Cherry (right;they/them)!

Their outfits are different from what they actually wear, but it's still something they might wear! I can see Cherry and Tabi matching outfits every now and again tbh.

This is Cedric core to me

From this

Edit:I think this would be Cedric going to see Arty after or during Arty's gig and he just looks like this, or he's looking for Arty and his cartoon ass looks like that

Update! Thank you for the support Mothy it's very appreciated, sweetheart. It means the absolute world to me. 🥺💕/Gen

I've been holding off on an update because I wasn't sure if the rough patch was going to get worse, wait until I actually landed the job I'm at now, and so much more. We are somewhat stable now, still not great but good enough to get by. As per my mom's wishes, I will not be discussing anything regarding what my dad left when he passed as it is extremely personal and my mom wishes to keep it private and I will respect that.

We only really had my grandma helping us financially (aside from the occasional card from close friends of my parents and coworkers etc),but we didn't want to rely solely on her. That's why I was anxious and immediately jumped to doing commissions if I was able to set them up before the job opportunity, but thankfully it came a tad early and I didn't have to open commissions up right away. My worry lied in whether or not the house would be paid off in time for each end of the month, especially since my mom carries all the insurance on my dad and I it kind of sucks all the life from her bank and I was unemployed. (We did manage to get it paid off since that's what my dad would want, it was officially paid on on my birthday, June 3rd.) If anything happens though I will open emergency commissions, but right now if I ever get the chance I'll just do commissions here and there when I get back into art and the swing of things.

I will also be less active or not as frequently active due to my job but also the fact that my mom and I are still very much in shock and going through the grieving process all over again since my childhood dog had passed years prior. I will also keep the original post up for now in case I do open comms and anyone wants to see what I'd start out with and if anyone was particularly interested. I know I haven't posted any recent art either, I've also been in a massive burnout that's been going strong for a little over 3 years unfortunately. I'm slowly trying to learn to love doing art again.

With that, please note that there are help lines/links in my pinned post located in my carrd. If you can help people in need such as families stuck in Palestine, need educating on a subject going on, saving cats in China, etc please take a look! It'll only be a minute of your time and you can help make a change by donating and/or spreading the information.

Thank you for your time, dears. Have a wonderful day!
