I’m sorry that I haven’t been very present around here lately. It feels like my sanity has been hanging on by the thinnest of threads, and the truth is that I just haven’t had the energy for much beyond some occasional reblogs.

I’d like to say that things will change soon, but I have a ton of work that’s scheduled to be done in my house next week, so I’m sure that will just make things even more chaotic. Just know that I’m here if you ever feel like reaching out and chatting—but also, please accept my apology in advance if I’m slow to reply 😅

Damn Dismas, you could save the world with your candlemaking abilities, but nooooo, let's do it the hard way and fight cosmic horrors beyond all comprehension for candles instead

Oh yeah, the irony of it... For those unaware, anon is talking about how in DD2 one of the most precious resources one can get are candles: they were added in the most recent update, you can either spend them on permanent upgrades or use them to temporarily hire the Bounty Hunter. Dismas would be able to hire his own personal bodyguard for the rest of his life lol

Also, just explaining for those who don't know the connection between Dismas and candles, in the first game, the Highwayman mentions candles in two barks:

"You know I apprenticed in candlemaking? T'is true." (becoming Irrational)

"Mother was right. Candlemaking was danger enough." (stressing party while Hopeless)

While some could argue you can't take the irrational barks at face value, the fact he also mentions it while hopeless gives it weight, it might have really happened. That's why most of us put some sort of candle making apprenticeship in his backstory! It might seem like common sense for some (cough, those who've read Dismas's barks obsessively, cough), but I've seen people not understanding his connection to candles before, so I thought to bring it up.

As of now, DD2 HWM has zero barks mentioning candlemaking in his past, but he does mention a chandler (a person who makes candles) in one of the barks of his Morbid Joke item! I wonder how did that joke end... Here are all of his jokes, just for the hell of it:

“You ever hear the one about the chandler...?”

“What's red and bad fer your teeth? ... A brick.”

“Dark humour is like food. Not everyone gets it.”

And here’s how each hero respond to the jokes:

Occultist: “You certainly have a way with words.”

Man-at-Arms: “I've heard worse, lad.”

Plague Doctor: “Ehm. Was that the punchline?”

Grave Robber: “That's nothing, darling. How about the one...

Jester: “... ... ... Heh.”

Bounty Hunter: *snort*

Hellion: “Ha HAH!”

Runaway: “I... I don't get it.”

Leper: “If this helps you pass the time...”

I haven’t played DD2 in a while so I don’t know what this item does, but I found it neat to see some personalized items with barks like that! It reminds me of camping skills, it adds some character to the heroes. Hope to see more of this in the future!

alright gang I'm easing back into things. loaded up my queue in case I get to feeling bad again

hey everyone. im not here to post art right now, i just have something on my mind that i kinda wanna ramble about, which i’ll put under a read more below bc its really long lol. i know this is kinda sudden but i promise its nothing serious. stick around if you’re somehow interested in listening to my ramblings, if not then thank you for reading this anyway, and thanks for all your continuous support :)

i cant remember the reason why anymore, but a couple minutes ago i felt like going through all the blogs ive followed on here. i only follow like 276 blogs if i remember correctly, it’s not much considering how i’ve been here since 2015. i probably felt like looking through it because i was reminded of an artist i follow here and i wanted to see if they’ve updated anything, i have no clue lol.

anyways i looked through the list, and i found a lot of artists ive followed since my early days in 2015, when i first started posting art. some i still remember fondly, some i have vague memories of, and others... i just dont recognize anymore. the only thing im sure of is that they were all artists i looked up to very much, artists who have also definitely motivated me to keep drawing just so i can be as good as them someday. im confident enough to say that ive gotten close to a lot of their levels already, and i am now very comfortable with drawing in a style that is uniquely my own. i have all these artists to thank for that.

but... another thing ive also realized is, most of them arent posting anymore. some have already stopped before i myself stopped tumblr briefly in around 2019, but a lot of them stopped at that exact same year. it makes me kinda sad, i remember looking forward to these artists’ drawings often, but a lot of them just kinda dipped out of existence 3 years ago, without other social medias that i can check to make sure theyre still around. it made me think about how hellish every year has been starting from 2019, it mightve only been 3 years but it sure felt like its been a decade. all i can do right now is hope that they’re still okay, somewhere in the world, still safe and still doing whatever they love.

and on the same note, i hope every single person who is still following me, who still constantly come up to this crumbling website, maybe even look forward to me posting my art; i hope you guys are doing well too. i know there are a lot of people who were from my old 2018 dmc days (since i came back to the fandom just half a year ago and a lot of people started checking up on me again), some of you guys were probably even from my earliest 2016 undertale days; whether you followed me 6 years ago or just today, i want to thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart, for always giving me kind support on the things i do. i am not joking when i said i wont be here right now if it werent for you guys. thank you so, so much.
