they hate each other

Wanted to illustrate a feeling I had some time ago when I started my skin treatment.

In my teens, I used to struggle with pimples and whatnot, and tend to break out near my period. I have a healthy diet and good hygiene, so I thought it was just hormones and that it would go away once I grew up.

Except it never did, lol. I'm an adult in my late 20s and still gotta deal with this bullshit.

It's never bothered me half as much as everyone else around me. The words paraphrase something I heard from a stranger a long time ago, who 'just wanted to help'. I understand there was no ill intent, but I think about it sometimes.

Good intent is sweet, but it can also harm. Sometimes it's best to just respect people and leave them alone. Zits dry out and eventually leave the skin; it's part of the process. There are times it'll be nice and others when they'll come back; it's never been a health concern as much as an aesthetic issue.

It feels especially backhanded when paired with "you're so pretty BUT".

Most fancy skincare products cost an arm and a leg for a small tube. There's a big market monetizing people's insecurities, and the feeling of depending on these things has always irked me. I went to the dermatologist some time ago after being pestered about it for a long time, since I wanted to give it an honest shot.

It was expensive, and although it did help, the difference wasn't worth the money spent imo. My skin still has imperfections.

Having a skincare routine is good, I've had it even before that. Soap to reduce natural oils is good, and a white clay mask is nice and cheap; it feels nice. Better than selling my organs for skin products, lol.

Embracing staying healthy, imperfect and not-broke has been very good for me. Taking care of yourself is good, but don't let beauty standards dictate your life. Those who turn their noses from your packaging alone could never understand the essence of what lies within, so you're not missing out ❤️

Ayyy friends! Fighting apathy with art, most specifically art fight!

I haven't been in a great place mentally lately, and drawing has honestly helped bring me back into the creative mindspace I love so much. ^^ This year, almost all my friends are on team fossil (lol) so I'm just attacking whoever I feel like indiscriminately. Who cares about teams, let's just have fun!

I'm still prepping some oc profiles with updated blurbs, so make sure to double-check if you want to attack someone once AF actually starts. ^^

a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.

my favorite part is when he tells them that humans are "capable of transportation without the aid of spaceships or any vehicles, just by using mental power to control physical matter". it's true, we can. it's called walking.
