It's so dire, that I had to open bluesky for the first time in 9 months, when doing so was becoming more and more embarrassing the longer I went without any posts - or without drawing anything, after setting up this whole page 😅

Hi! I'm Yulia, and I'm in a very dire situation right now - so I have to use the last resort option and beg for money online. I would really appreciate any help you could give, either monetary, or just with sharing, so I could get more reach Thank you! gofund.me/b666e695b

I'm alive! Trying to go back to drawing and starting, as usual, with a self-portrait

I didn't draw anything in a while, but I want to post *something*. So have some digital coloring I did while listening to my daily comprehensible input Spanish. It's not, like, art, but I just thought it's kinda pretty and cute

Remember how I created this account in order to motivate myself to draw because if I started posting about being an artist and then didn't draw anything at all it would be embarrassing? So, yeah...

If you somehow ended up on this page without knowing me, I specifically started learning to draw in order to make transhet comics, because there's such a massive drought of content in this niche

the h̶o̶m̶o̶ hetero-erotic tension between two 'bros' who will at some point become boyfriend and girlfriend send skeet

apropos of nothing in particular 👀: if i ever post about men or a guy i like and u come into my mentions jokingly with "im sorry" or "have u tried force-femming him" or "thank god i don't have ur affliction" im not gonna block, im gonna dunk on your bullshit. bi/het women are done with this shit

so if algorithms intentionally prioritize rage and fear content because it's the best for engagement, doesn't that make algorithmic based social media the actual torture nexus?

Really makes you think

"Would-be cis person who only transitioned because they were just so, so gender nonconforming and felt pressured to change their bodies to fit in" is such a microscopic demographic compared to "deep-closet trans person who won't transition out of fear that they can't live up to the gender role"

I’ll bite.

I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing I need to get back to drawing

Well, and since I've started, Svetlana from our one-shot in Call of Cthulhu, math student, doesn't believe in supernatural, lives in lovecraftian world, is afraid of darkness And Sofia Weber, from one-shot in VTM, a reporter that got turned less than a year ago and has no idea how it all works

You know, what's weird? Both of my major characters have a soft spot for children. Vira got attached to the daughter of other party member and wanted to protect her at all costs, and Maliris gave local street urchin her marked deck so he stopped pickpocketing What's weird - I *do not* like children

Well and since why not, check out my other favorite character (drawing is from quite a while ago) from our D&D campaign back in Russia Maliris, a tiefling wizardess, talented, stubborn, loud and expressive and flashy, always tries to have a plan B for any situation, and also kind of Team Mom.

Well, since our Fabula Ultima campaign has fallen apart, I guess I should say goodbye to the character I had - and just a few levels before I could get Duelist Heroic Style :/ Viridia (Vira for friends), a brave and dashing swashbuckler vigilante in search of a way to revive her sister

If you’re cis & you want trans folks to know they’re valid and cared for, here’s a tip: Don’t say it to a trans person. Go talk to a cis person. Talk to your dad. Your coworker. Your friends. Ask if they know whats going on. Ask if they have uncertainties when it comes to the ~trans issue.~

Yet another completely unremarkable day, just like all other days

I kinda liked Tokyo Godfathers, but portrayal of trans woman lead left me with a bit of a weird aftertaste. Even though Hana herself is very humanized and is not a parody, and her state makes sense, and a friend who recommended this movie has defended this depiction, it still rubbed me the wrong way

Replaying the game I played like a decade ago, a lot of nostalgia. "The Next BIG Thing" (2011), a point and click adventure, hilarious and insanely charming I really vibe with Liz Allaire 😌

(Thread 🧵)

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Sorry, really needed to yell into the void after blocking and deleting my ex's contact Glad I don't have to see his lying face ever again

The longer I live, the more I hate the concepts of politeness and civility. Keeping a smile and friendly facade to avoid conflict with someone, and calling expressing feelings a "toddler behavior"

What I really want is classical romance but for trans women. All the tropes, all the wish fulfillment, all the glow, all the enthusiasm, all the fantasy, all the variety. Written with trans women in mind, as part of the readership but also a subject to be humanized, embraced, loved.

GRAVITY RUSH

Maybe I should post my old art or something. This one is probably the best thing I made Quick Nap in Cloudbank, vector, August 2024 #transistor #fanart #vectorart

Part of me feels kinda bad for filtering out politics, but also this is kinda the only way for me to stay on this site without burning out. My blood boils way too easily, and just as easily I'm susceptible to despair, and neither is good for my physical and mental health.

So, a few weeks ago my laptop charger started to do "only charges at specific angles" thing. I decided to buy a new one from Amazon, for like 80 euro It died in two weeks ._. Decided to check maybe I should get actual original Lenovo one 330 euro .____. I guess I can live with "specific angles"

Now, when I don't have a coding project I have to be working on, I can actually get back to drawing, right? Right???

And for the record, this is the guide I've been using, that prompted me to make this wretched app. If someone wanted to do voice training for a while, but could never get around to do that, because it is too overwhelming, consider this a sign to actually start. buymeacoffee.com/alyssavt/no-...

The worst thing, there are most likely already apps with similar function, much more polished, and I could just use them instead of wasting a week of my life - a week when I did *not* do voice training, for the record

So, presenting you Vocal Timer v.1.0, for voice training. Probably suitable for other similar tasks as well, but that's what I made it for. I just lost count how many repeats I've done way too many times, got too frustrated and decided to reinvent a wheel and make an app github.com/YulimitBreak...

Its fucking done It's 2 AM, I have alarm in 5 hours, and I missed Spanish today, and my chamomile tea has gone cold, forgotten, but I have finished it

To slightly dilute atmosphere of programming for a moment, here have a doggy that I drew when I was trying to do daily prompts.... 2 months ago holy shit 💀 I really should get back to drawing more 😭

For someone who "makes a simple small project just for herself" I sure do care a lot about minor design issues :/

And this is why I'm skipping my Spanish classes today, apparently, I completely lost track of time But I'm on a finish line, I've been working on this the whole week - though, for the cost of skipping my actual voice training 💀

Doing my little personal project (android app to track voice exercise progress) and realizing, that while I might be a wannabe artist, I'm actually an awful designer :/ While I'm doing it primarily for myself (and only like share a github link with APK), I still want it look good - and it doesn't

And now look at me making an intro with all the plans and then probably not posting anything for the next few months 👍

It's supposed to be like that btw

Also you know, what's annoying? At some point I have accidentally fucked up how emojis work on my PC (I tried to replace the default windows ugly ones, and broke it), so now I have to deal with this when I look at this site through browser

And also, to be completely honest, I have no idea how to use this site - I could never get used for original bird site either, even before fascist takeover, I just never really know what the hell do I post here. I mean, besides art, obviously, when (or if 😭) I'll have any

I've been learning to draw for two years, on and off, so my skill is not quite there (to say the least), but I did somehow end up with somewhat interesting style, that I keep iterating on. For example, here's me!

I gotta be honest, part of the reason I decided to actually post something here, is because I wanted to get some motivation to actually start making something. Or at least, practice more to have something to show here - because otherwise letting this account die after an intro would be embarrassing

Heyo there! I guess, I should post something on this site, so I guess introducing myself would be a good place to start My name is Yulia (she/her), a bi trans lady recently escaped from Russia to a sunlit Spain, and also (for now very theoretically) an aspiring comic artist Hey everyone~
