Thinking sometimes about how ephemeral Kasander's paladin status might be. The fact that their idealism means they have repeatedly violated their oath, and their refusal to compromise on their radical vision of compassion and second chances means they will likely continue to... at some point it's likely they'll finally have a fall they can't come back from. That divine spark, that superhuman light will be lost for good. But like. The oathbreaker "if you stumble, know there is no shame in falling".... Asperia fell so, so far, and they've fallen over and over again on the way from being Bhaal's Chosen to their own person, and every other fall has been graceless and miserable and hard and a fight lost after desperately clawing for any hold. To finally have a gentle fall, to reach the bottom and be ready to go on... I don't know man. There's something that has me Emotional about the idea.

i think i just wish i could tell all my friends in the years 2020-2021 that i’m sorry, especially online friends. or maybe not i’m sorry but just... something. it feels faintly close to horrifying that i lost touch with all of them and somehow stay afloat anyway but it’s like.
in times encased in darkness there is always something good because there are those people there and people have a lot of good in them. and i hate to think back at times as this was the period of X trauma when deeper down there were people there too, people who loved me and people who don’t anymore and there’s nothing traumatic about that but it hurts worse than anything
it’s like drowning a city and sinking it underwater. the people who lived there still do. and you might have gotten to a different shoreline and you might be glad you’re not sailing anymore but there were people who you met and now those people are gone.
anyway. looking at old discord messages is a trap.

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.
there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.
a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.
please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,

the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now

14 year old artists listen to me right now (gripping you by the shoulders) STOP caring about your "internet presence" right naow. Draw slower and stop trying to boil your art down to an acceptable marketable brand
