I’m in so much pain (TW: Menstruation issues)

I’m writing this hunched over at my bathroom sink at 7 AM.

I’m an AFAB 14 year old, and I’ve been menstruating since I was 11. It’s never been difficult, I’ve always been able to function for the most part. Until today.

My period just started a day ago. And I’m cramping for hours at a time, I just bled through my pad for the 3rd time in the span of about 5 hours, and I didn’t get a single wink of sleep last night.

I feel like I’m being stabbed, I could barely even get myself to move out of bed at all.

Just started watching, and…

I just finished episode 8. I challenge you guys to tell me something I won‘t understand until I’ve finished the show! (I will not be interacting with any posts on this subreddit until I’ve finished the show, as to avoid blatant spoilers)

UPDATE: I am now watching episode 3 season 2

Work in progress test animation :D

I haven’t animated in a decent while so this definitely looks kind of chopped up, but I’m trying haha

Rough draft for an OC?

I’ve been wanting to make Lucid Garden OCs for like… A month now, I’ve finally gotten around to working on it!

This is just a really messy rough draft for one of them (was mostly trying to get the petals into place) but she‘s based on a Columbine :D

What breed is Yumyan?

I had this thought while I was rewatching Kipo, what do you all think Yumyan’s breed is? I think he looks kind of like a Persian cat-

Drawing the Agents In My Artstyle! (PART 1)

I’ve made it my mission to draw every single Agent in the game in my style, so here’s the first drawing in that series!

I started with Guido and Rossum ’cause they’re my favorite Agents in the game-

Also I sincerely apologize for the botched argyle on their sweater-vest 😭

Working on a Hilda OC! (WIP)

I’m saving the information for when she’s done, but I’m impatient so I had to show the WIP prematurely-

u/Dry-Kaleidoscope-795 — 11 days ago

Doodled some of the characters in my style!

Hilda, Twig, and Alfur in my style!

These are a bit shabby though since I'm a digital artist- and I apologize for the horrible lighting haha

I need help with my hair

I've been having horrible mental health lately, and so I haven't brushed my hair in months. My parents won't help me, and my hair is so matted I can't even wash it. Please help, I need to get this disaster fixed by tomorrow.

Who are two characters who remind you of eachother for no reason?

I’ll start, Rainbow Quartz 2.0 from Steven Universe and Two from TPOT/BFB

I genuinely have no clue why they remind me of eachother, but they do 😭

Purity of the Soul (Meet my Rain World OC!)

I’ve shown off the slugcat, now it’s time for its creator!

This is Purity of the Soul, and she’s an extremely young Iterator in the grand scheme of things, having been built in the very last wave of Iterators. She… Isn’t exactly what you would call “well-built”. Her construction was rushed, and she’s rather glitchy. Among other issues, her communications tend to be unstable, occasionally having bouts where they completely cease function for cycles at a time. To deal with this, Purity created the Virulent as pest control and a messenger. When she needs help, Virulent helps her send messages to other Iterators via data pearl.

Because of her shoddy construction, Purity feels lesser compared to other Iterators, and she kinda believes that she’s worthless- after all, the Ancients didn’t even care to build her properly, so why does she even exist? She tends to spend a decent chunk of her time watching the Iterator communication logs (at least when her communications are), since focusing on working on the Big Problem usually makes her feel even worse about… Well, everything. To try and make up for her lackluster performance when it comes to working, she tries her best to act bubbly and upbeat when she does interact with other Iterators through the communication logs.

I hope y’all like Purity of the Soul as much as I do :D

The Virulent (Meet my slugcat OC!)

This is the Virulent, a slugcat engineered by Purity of the Soul (an Iterator, I’ll post her soon).

Its gimmick is that at the cost of some food, it can launch acid at other creatures, causing damage. Its acid is stored in the sacs on its cheeks.

I hope y’all enjoy my little guy, I tried to draw it in the art style of the official Rain World art :D

Meet my main cast!

I’ve finally gathered the courage to share some of my real concept art here :DD

These are the four main characters of my pilot, Battle for Westbridge! Meet (going from right to left) Indigo, Xero, Bain, and Vic!

Battle for Westbridge is about these four running around trying to survive and/or put an end to the apocalypse.

Ask me anything you want about the characters or the show ^w^

Does he read as a deer or as a goat? [OC]

EDIT: I’VE TRIED TO FIX IT! Please look at the updated attempt before critiquing!
https://imgur.com/a/A5UvL2w

I’m currently working on the 5th(?) redesign of my main characters for my pilot. I‘m working on simplifying the designs, and I showed them to some of my friends for feedback.

Now, Vic here is SUPPOSED to be a deer-person-

But my friends said he looks like a goat, and not a deer 😭

So, I’ve decided to turn to reddit. Does Vic‘s design read as a deer like he’s supposed to?

I’m open to criticism! I’m just one teen without any training, I don’t know everything TwT

My dad is right-wing and extremely uneducated (by his own choice). Need advice.

My dad is right-wing, and he supports the rancid orange. Which is ironic, considering he says himself that he doesn’t care about politics, and he refuses to educate himself.

I’m genuinely so close to making an entire powerpoint just to show him how horrendously fucked things are right now, but would that be the right call? And if not what should I do?

Random thought I had…

I find it ironic that characters in fandoms who are canonically unloved/unpopular (some examples I can think of being Mr Puzzles SMG4, Caine TADC, Tenna Deltarune, and Shelly & Bassie Dandy’s World) are almost always the fan-favorites.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

I can’t stop my voice from going as high as it can, HELP ME PLEASE

I don’t know why, but whenever I sing my voice immediately wants to go to the highest pitch imaginable.

For more context I’m TRYING to sing Change from Steven Universe, but whenever I have to sing more powerful-sounding lines (like “you can make it better”), my voice immediately jumps as high as possible instead of belting like I need to, no matter how hard I try to avoid it. And this is a constant for me, no matter what I try to sing.

Does anyone know how to fix this??

Introverts and extroverts.

Okay. So.

I keep seeing these videos on my FYP, that are all basically just saying “why are introverts forced to socialize but extroverts aren’t forced to shut up”…

And while I do not agree whatsoever with forcing introverts to socialize, that shouldn’t be happening

One, “extrovert” does not immediately mean “loud”.

Two, extroverts are constantly told to shut up.

And three, you’re probably just hanging around the wrong people if they’re talking over you or forcing you to do things you aren’t comfortable with 😭

I’m gonna be honest I really don’t get why introverts and extroverts hate each other and treat each other like foreign species, we’re all just people 🥹

Someone being an introvert doesn’t automatically mean they’re a “shy, pathetic baby who ‘needs to come out of their shell’”.

Someone being an extrovert doesn’t automatically mean they’re an “attention-seeking egotist who has no regard for common decency”.
