Hello folks, today is my 34th birthday. I have to fly on down south to attend to family matters tomorrow, and thus today must be spent on labor. If you'd like to throw money at me, I am appreciative. I am also appreciative of kind words or remembrance of interactions had. ko-fi.com/goatmansgoblet

I realise I can only understand what emotionally compels ME. Almost every time I show something that moves me to someone else, they feel nothing for it, or they think it's bad. Maybe what moves me isn't worth putting into the world myself.

I think what i yearn for in art is solely to capture the feeling i want, but i worry so much about making a wholly perfect image that I capture and produce nothing

The painful truth. Art makes me so sad and yet

I hate that i can't use myself for any kind of reference because I'm the unlucky type of person that looks like they have no bones.

I was too sad to read or draw. I watched Frieren instead. It's nice when something understands why it's using the genre it is.

I dont know why I'm here

Bilbo is much more gracious than I am. If 13 randos just came into my house and ate my food and sang songs mocking me, I would have probably stabbed one of them.

What if i just never make anything again

I have nothing good to show. I'm having a melancholy week, so I decided to do some practice with how I would draw some characters I like. It's amusing that Rock has such an innocent face without his sunglasses

For so many reasons. (Reposting with alt text.)

Be cringe now and later. Trying to be someone or something you aren't will mostly make you miserable.

Also, apologies for all my typos. I promise I can speak English just fine, but I have ham hands and type very poorly. Auto correct is my enemy.

Sometimes, I don't know what's up either my brain. I tried reading A Wizard of Earthsea 5 times before this and couldn't even finish the first chapter. Now it's enjoyable? Great, even. Ged is a difficult protagonist, sure, but he's young, and I was equally annoying as a child. Tf was my problem

Sometimes the universe sends you what you need and not what you want. I wanted to buy whatever I could get of LOTR and the next Earthsea book. Jonathan Strange I wanted too. But the others are substituted by this Le Guin non fiction and Carson McCullers.

Lolita Collective launched a gofundme. Their landlord rented their space to a new tenant without telling them so they have to suddenly change locations last minute. The space provides a positive physical space for our community so any help is appreciated #egl www.gofundme.com/f/help-lolit...

I like the "get to know me" posts with media that's important to you. Tell me about your favorite niche old internet videos. This and "Theres a man in the woods" are mine. youtu.be/MQ5ziNOtoMU?...

Introduce yourself in 4 movies. I feel like this says confusing things about me.

Finished my first book of the year! Piranesi is both the right and wrong book to read at this stage in my life. The last chapter hit me very hard.

Its kind of odd that act 3 of DQ11 is the post game. Lol whatever, can't wait to get "married" in it. I do dislike that the only person you can officially marry is Gemma, though. Picking NOT HER, obviously.
