its crazy how coming into clinical social work, i really just thought I was up against systems and cycles of trauma....but it turns out i'm up against those two things AND other therapists. the amount of work spent correcting mistakes from other clinicians--whether with clients or during the classroom--is fucking crazy.

i totally get we're all on different journeys in terms of being clinicians. but it is insane finding out day after day of therapists and clinicians saying the worst things ever to clients. demeaning them, telling them "it's all in their head", the racism and the ableism and harm that is caused. like no fucking wonder people are afraid to seek therapy (on top of the accessibility issues). while i'm a little biased and think that at the very least clinical social work training focuses on viewing people within their environments (so not engaging in the medical/individualist models of practice that a lot of counseling programs focus on), that doesn't mean it gives every person the skills to be an effective therapist. i'm also not saying i'm the best clinician ever--I'm literally in training--but boy! it is jarring seeing how some of my peers interact in class and wondering...is that how you are with your clients??

my social work program at the very least also has a focus on anti-racism, but i know students from other programs and some of them don't even mention racism AT ALL and focus entirely on diagnosing people "correctly", or finding the perfect form of therapy to use on a client. but man, what none of these programs teach are basic life skills. wanting to be a clinician isn't enough, especially considering that an inhumane amount of people in my program are 1. so nervous about making mistakes that they lose scope of their practice 2. have so much internalized racism/white guilt to work thru 3. or they have absolutely no listening skills.

again, im not trying to make it seem like I am the number 1 clinician in the world ever. I don't even have a psych background or bachelor's in social work. my reasons for going into social work are quite selfish (I want a job that is very flexible, easily transferable, and can be done in different contexts), and the helping people part is just a plus. i'm just saying it's very jarring seeing other people in training and realizing they too are working with clients. i have conversation after conversation about these issues with other BIPOC/queer/marginalized clinicians, so I know i'm not the only person worried about some of the people that will be out of this program in a few years practicing on their own or with vulnerable populations.

#muerto talks #just rambling #maybe im just a hater virgo with a strong sense of justice #i am just forever perplexed #learning that some of my classmates believe that you can be racist to white people is crazy #learning that some of my classmates are rude and dismissive to BIPOC students but they work in BIPOC communities #learning that some of my classmates weaponize their mental illnesses as an excuse to act shitty to professors classmates or clients is craz #there are zionists??? trying to be social workers??????#i literally have classes with zionists #some people r doing a whole ass career change because they had a spiritual calling to help people??#again not saying im such a great clinician im in training just like the rest of my program #but you cannot like tell me to even try to be hopeful about some of the people who will be my collegues in a year #because i have no hope for them #and its going to take making serious mistakes for them to maybe snap out of it #and that fucking sucks #nothing in my body feels safe around those people #like idc maybe im an elitist with impossible standards #maybe im the one asking too much from these people.....#the cognitive dissonance is real in these people man

Then I used a drawing referenc #e and it instantly fixed it? So. like. I don't always trust real life reference after that.#I'm crying I really really wish I'll learn to draw facial hair some day.#I mean the client described that he only unintentionally grew stubbles because he got busy with something. but still #Why is my laptop already laggy I already restarted this and Nothing else but Chrome and Medibang is opened. -_-#I took so long to do the background. lol but I'd rather it stay blurred because of how it turned out.#Trust me it looked way bettered blurred. haha #Sorry..

#ashamed and alarmed to discover that much like teachers #people who work closely with folks who spend a lot of time on the streets #and in shelters #or in buildings that offer services to the disadvantaged #will catch every fucking thing that goes around #just like their clients do #which sucks more for them #by like a whole fucking lot #but also sucks for my boyfriend who needs to do his job which is to help them and would rather not have to do that while sick #but we don't have a choice and they don't have a choice and this work MUST be done #so he has to try to do it anyway and hope he can hold up #desr god he is tough #for a soft guy #it also sucks for me because i catch almost all of it too #we have each been sick three times this year #and i know people do deal with and are dealing with way worse so i feel bad being mad about it #not mad at the people or my boyfriend but mad at the whole situation #this is infuriating and between us this year we could have fulfilled the snot needs of the entire nation if there were a shortage #i hope i don't catch whatever this is #and i hope our immune systems are not so ravaged by the covid we had a year ago that we cannot build a more robust immunity to rhinoviruses #ughhh stupid flesh hovels

I was gonan make a post apologizing for lack of regular art but I feel like jts already clear im sporadic and in and out of it bc chronic pain and circumstances. So for now I'm gonna hibernate, get my health steady again, deal with money issues, and art will happen when it happens.

#i do feel kind of worn down by it. i wish patreon and commissions didn't feel so taxing even with accommodations ive made for myself #maybe it'll feel better in the future when less is going on but rn it #places this barrier of management in front of art that makes it less relieving to do #cause there's always a part of my brain reminding me it needs to serve a purpose and needs to pay off in some way #which isn’t a new feeling for artists obviously. maybe doing it all since hs js also why it's tiring. and patreon changjng the way it does #working part time now too. idk if maybe id like to step back from it #it's abnormal that i worked taht hard and it did help me get out from my parents and stay out. but im also tired ect #idw let people down by not being able to keep up with a self imposed expectation or #be irresponsible and remove sources of income for myself. redbubble inprnt and patreon all suck in ways that bother me hugely #i only really enjoy itch.io at the minute #not to say anything bad abt patrons or commission clients you've all been excessively kind and patient and understanding always #i wish i could make them better i feel like there's no way how it is at the minute is of value compared to my output as an older teen #but yknow. self imposed worry. im just worn out and id like to just make things without the management and the fretting and the #i havent made a comic post for patreon in ages or this or this i havent made a speedpaint or a song or #yadda yadda lmao #sorry for the impromptu ramble #this isnt to say id never do commissions or a store or anything again or i want to not make money off art #god knows i will need to be grinding out comms once im well again but ex #i feel like im getting less and less able to manage it and then putting out less and less #and hoping ill somehow get very healthy and active again one day and make it worth the wait yknow.#it's not a feeling i want my art to carry in me.#part of me and the parent in my brain is saying it'd be selfish to give up income but the rest is like #that's cruel. i want to feel good and healthy

Don't beat yourself up! Honestly, it's fine if a commission takes a little long, the last thing I'd want is the person I commission to stress themselves over a piece and getting frustrated. In my opinion I rather wait as long as possible for something that had time and effort put into it then receive a product the artist didn't have a good time working on!

I really appreciate it! It’s not for everyone to wait and that’s alright but genuinely, a lot of my best work comes out of patience and enjoyment. I put in a LOT of effort and fun details and take my sweet time cleaning up the piece when I know I’m gonna enjoy taking all that time to do it

Like hell, how I did the entire second version of that piece of the one oc and Frank? I had so much fun doing it and adding details that were harder to notice and taking the time to throw on some more layers to make a creepy one and I hardly minded taking that extra time to do it because I was in the zone and having fun 😌

#honestly I’ve gotten over the disappointment about not being fit for the job if someone decides like #they no longer want the commission (within reason ofc) or I’m just taking too long on a particularly simple step #because also? that’s my opportunity to say hey! I know an artist who’s just as good and so much quicker!#fun fact I did this for Xisuma once #we weren’t sure if I could do what he had in mind so I said that’s okay!#if I can’t I’m happy I was considered regardless and you took the time to message me about it #so here’s an artists that is an expert at what you’re looking for :)#little bit of a tangent but like yeah it’s not the end of the world #I do my job and can only hope I won’t disappoint a client in the process

#last month i wrote some tags about how i needed to leave my nails alone because i was getting extensions #in the hopes that i would finally stop biting my nails after doing it almost my whole life #well it FUCKING WORKED #i got gel x tips and i loved them sooooo much #but they kept coming off because i have to do so much with my hands especially in water lol #and i have tiny fingers too so the sizes she had weren't quite right #she redid the ones that came off for free for the whole three weeks i wore them!#so i bought her some new tips in tiny person sizes as a thank you lol #for her to use on other clients tho because she recommended this gel overlay system she likes #I've been wearing it for like a week and a half and they are still FLAWLESS #so I'm never going back to anything else lol i'm going to keep getting these pretty much forevwr #but anyway the important part is. that i no longer put my fingers in my mouth to destroy my nails and cuticles #i have real grownup hands now and it's AMAZING #my nail plate is reattaching to my nail bed!!!! like the bed is getting longer #they'll eventually reach the actual tips of my fingers the way theyre supposed to 😍#and the gel keeps the nails hard and almost fucking unbreakable #i had to replace my compulsion to bite/chew with the compulsion to apply cuticle oil lol but it's SO WORTH IT #i look at pictures of how my hands used to look just two months ago and i cant fucking believe i lived that way for DECADES #and i guess this is especially significant for me because my hands have always been a source of shame #not just because my nails were fucking gross and fucked up. but because i have TINY HANDS #like really small hands. not proportionate to my body. AT ALL #especially when i put my hands near my head because i have a slightly larger than average head lmaooo #and my fingers are very thin and just. i have small hands. very weak.#i cant even snap my fingers and make a sound #(do NOT instruct me. i know how to do it. i have been trying my whole life. its not physically possible for my fingers to make that sound)#so having nice nails really fucking helps me 🥹#like i can be proud of my hands even if theyre small #and i dont feel the need to hide them anymore

working at a lingerie / erotic boutique really puts sm thoughts into my head 😵‍💫 how different bllk / hq / tokrev boys would act. what’d catch their attention. whether they’re a bit timid or playful abt it. or maybe they’re so confident it makes the staff go crazy and gush abt u two as soon as u leave the store .. yeah ……

#hm hm this idea makes me blush sm u don’t get it!!!!!!#there’s this one type of clients that always makes me n my coworkers swoon #and it’s the blunt but loving n sweet boyfriend that doesn’t mind spending his money on u and ur pleasure #like .. hm? u like this one? well then let’s get it #yeah i can see its 500 usd i dont care #look this seems fun. yeah i’ll have this one please let’s see if we like it #rin is this type btw #he’s just rly fun in bed in general. likes to try new stuff out and he doesn’t mind spending quite a bit on it either #you tell him that maybe y’all should just think it thru first but he shrugs and goes ‘what’s the point we’re already here anyways.’#u leave the store w a few things but he comes back a few minutes later and ends up buying that one set you’ve been eyeing but told him +#+ it’s too pricy #he tells the clerk to just ring it up and that he hopes you don’t get mad 😭#NGHHHH HES SO CUTE #oikawa makes u soooooo flustered it’s crazy. u slap his arm every so often and have to rly pry his hands off in the fitting room #😵‍💫#noya is a regular at one of the stores n he’s the cute lovesick puppy boyfriend that comes in every so often to buy a new set or some toy #there doesn’t even have to be any occasion he just loves surprising n spoiling u sm </3 #iwa comes to the store w u first cuz u told him u wanna see what they have #you end up buying a toy or two n some lingerie too #he comes back a week or two later and buys some of the other things you’ve been wanting to try out. he’s a lil sheepish by himself #BUT ITS SO SWEET ITS INSANE …….. hes so doting i wanna eat him up #i could go on abt this forever but it’s so specific i don’t know if any of u would indulge in that ajsjsksjsj

is there just something about serilly x arle puyo that prompts homophobic men to leave backhanded compliments on my posts or.

#like its one thing to just get regular homophobic comments. right #like i used to get those with eighthato all the time back in the day #but like theres been two or three separate instances where some dude just like #comments smth to the effect of 'this is so cute! i dont like gay people though'#like??? okay??? thanks for telling me???????#it just happened on twitter but the other instance that sticks out to me was this dude a couple years back #but the thing about it was This dude was a regular commission client back in the day #like i didnt have a job back then so he basically paid for most of my ipad costs bc he would give me like. big expensive 4-character comms #and then he just. Randomly comments that one day #like did you. did you think we were buddy-buddy enough to just say things like this now. like. excuse me #the funniest part was he came from 14crush too like. Did he know #i really dont think i was that subtle about eight and ahato but. like. did he know #the funniest part was that shortly after that happened i didnt even block him out of fear he'd try and chargeback his comms #but i quietly added smth to the effect of 'i will not work with homophobes/transphobes/etc' to the banner of my commission info #and then he just straight up never contacted me ever again.#insane #anyway hope you enjoyed this story of mine

LPT: Never invite your clients out for dinner/a date. Just keep work relationships between you and clients professional. Don't make them your friends. Don't date them. It just sends a confusing message and I highly recommend against this practice. Just don't do it.

#fran talks #im speaking from experience #my health insurance agent asked me on a date #weve talked it was great #i thought he was into me #but now hes not talked to me and im like ?#so what do you want?#do you typically ask your clients to go to dinner with you?#is that a thing?#dont get my hopes up #you looked like a great guy but now im hurt #and confused #and disappointed #like bruh what #now i cant even ask him questions about my insurance because i dont want to talk to him #do you see the problem?#like i just refuse to talk to him #especially if hes not answering me/is too busy for me #like dont blur the lines #i do not deserve this #its pretty painful okay #like genuinely it makes me feel like i did something wrong or there is something wrong with me #because he was really into talking and then after the first date it slowed down and now literally nothing #like okay #thanks i guess?#i dont enjoy liking people anymore it just hurts me #life pro tips
