The edgiest girl alive is now Monk Lvl 3, which means she‘s officially a WARRIOR OF SHADOW now. 🖤

y‘all‘s parents also hate to see you sick in the sense that they avoid you and act annyoed? that‘s not normal is it

Exciting news, everyone! We, @alenabraune.bsky.social & @softseaside.bsky.social, will be sharing a booth at @polarisconvention.bsky.social on the 10th- 12th October! You can find us in Hall B4 table 133 on the first floor. We are super excited and can’t wait to SEA you there! 😊 #polarisconvention

setup (saying yes to things that induce weeks of anticipatory fear) and payoff (an experience)

I just… wished my extended family liked me. They don‘t have to love me or be proud of me. Just have normal expectations and see a few redeeming qualities in me. Might as well wish upon a star like a child. And keep on living my silly life.

In Querlitz ist ein Meteorit eingeschlagen und vier Mitarbeitende des Bürgeramtes versuchen mit dem Chaos, das dadurch entstanden ist, klarzukommen. Das ist der Plot einer neuen Animationsserie, die schon bald im ZDF zu sehen sein wird.

The panic always has a home between my ribs. Bravery never seems to fully take root. Am I not of the earth? Am I of the air, made to be swept away, to tumble, to soar and fall? Are we all? Every creative spark seeks to burn, not to root.

started doing one (1) spreadsheet in preparation for the big book fair and it‘s already getting to my head… delusional confidence… alllll the publishers will jump and clap and shower me with contracts, I‘m sure

the STRESS of ordering printed goods online … bleed, color management, materials, hope and despair

the baby from Spirited Away would 100% be an iPad kid

evil #DnD shenanigans - guess which one I am

S4E4 of The Bear is peak, man. I gotta be nicer to my cousin‘s kid 🥹

When I landed my job as an illustrator for an animated TV show, I thought other people would be as ecstatic as me, or at least be very curious. Turns out nobody actually cares and it was all my own projection 😅

Gloria „THE RAVEN“ Vorst just can‘t stop slaying (the party stole this pan from her arch-nemesis, a pan blessed by the god Gond, and she carved FUCK GOND on it)

It was only session 3 but The Raven already got a hairstyle makeover… because she wanted to do a frontflip over an obvious trap and I rolled a Nat 1… her hair fell out… and then her boss cut her hair with kitchen knives….. ye

Being self-employed is being the maker or the procrastinator of your own fortune. today I did: nothing 🫢

people working with timber/wood? gotta be one of my favorite genders 🙏

last episode of The Bear S1 was so good already and then Let Down by Radiohead started playing… I just about ascended man

Spent years yearning for a social life - not a good or impressive one, just ANY social life, offline - only to now realize I AM NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE IT. Scheduling, communicating, energy management, fluctuating levels of anxiety… 🫠 My respect for functioning members of society grows ever larger.

Horse Game is so real for this #umamusume

Regret to inform you that I‘ve been gallopping down the UMAMUSUME PRETTY DERBY rabbithole… Haru Urara & Gold Ship supremacy 🎀

I’m searching for an illustrator of children’s literature (PB, MG, YA) who identifies as disabled – if that’s you please reply below! #KidLit (Can’t promise anything will come of this, though!)

Update: Dropped off the first and most important 30 page application file BY HAND, had an online meeting, cooked lunch for the entire studio and THAT‘s when my operating system decided to crash. Full on migraine explosion. From 3 PM to 8 PM I laid on my friends‘ couch, fully conscious, eyes closed.

Chestnut trees always need to look like they‘re miserably dying, shriveling, suffering of drought. GET A GRIP YOU FUNKY-LEAFED IDIOTS

My Notes App is a theme park 🎢

As soon as this bureaucracy mayhem is over, I‘m crashing out. It’s sn event. It’s in my calendar.

Calebo drawn by the grand master !🧑‍🎨

Freeform board my beloved… take some teen OC angst 🫶 #doodle #oc

drew the original characters™️ as a treat after stressing about business for an entire week! yip yip hooray

self portrait in times of stress and struggle but also lots of good food #drawing #doodle

I will take a step back from social media for a bit. It‘s making me upset & a worse person.

saw Apollo and Artemis at a local zebra crossing today (drawn from memory) #comic #doodle

EEP I POSTED IT 🧎‍♀️gonna go take a walk now

been gathering the courage to post my „dream job“ comic (where I drew all my crewmates) on my public insta for… 2 weeks… aahah

Summer holidays have started, and because I live in a village and have the windows open, I can hear kids playing outside at 9 PM on a Tuesday. <3 The sound of joy. Birds chirping and laughter.

took an art fight break over the weekend, but i'm so back baby!!! todays sketches right: @diebbie.bsky.social left: @straussdraws.bsky.social

Wels has done more for my mental wellbeing this summer than anything else

Parts of my family will never love or like me for who I am. Maybe if I moulded myself into what they want, they‘d reward me with affection - but that‘s not worth it. There is power in giving up on this. Lonely power, but power nonetheless.

Two evenings in a row spent registering for unemployment, 4 hrs online, one call and two e-mails later, still don‘t know shit about health insurance AND ALL THE OTHER INSURANCES, business plan can be signed only after July 14th, so the business funding is a race against the clock????

GOING INTO ART FIGHT UNEMPLOYED AND CONFUSED AND SCARED TO DEATH OF ACCUDENTALLY DOING TAX FRAUD… BUT GOING NONETHELESS 🔥🔥🔥

I want to show Legoshi & Louis Bestars Fight Club and see what happens

I don‘t want to be negative all the time. List of good things: - the nee series of Taskmaster is the best one yet - fruit tasts good - I am reading a book by free will

can‘t deny no more that being in my childhood home sucks all joy from me and turns me into the worst version of myself (2022 edition). I need to make freelance work because moving back will change my life for the worse.

„but are you sure it‘s a migraine?“ no might as well just be the right side of my brain melting or me being possessed by a demon who punches my eyeball from inside my skull and hollows out my teeth and stretches the muscles in my neck past breaking point and takes damage from light sources

keep waking up in terrible moods … like a wee toddler, I dare say

…woke up in a terrible mood?! How is that possible? How old am I, 3 months?

Neither of my parents have texted or called me about my TV interview or the release of the show I art directed. 🤣 Strangers are more excited for me. I‘m their only child. Important - but not as important as sports and work. All I can do is laugh, to be honest. It‘s so ridiculous to me.

no more depri tweeting for the rest of the weekend!!!!! Took a 2 hour walk at sunset yesterday, literally frolicked to The Seed by Aurora, Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine and When He Sees Me from Waitress, greeted every single passerby, sang my heart out and picked flowers under a rising moon.

I do this thing where I don‘t reply to messages/ comments, but always read them immediately… I just wait for the perfect reply to form itself. I don‘t have energy. The novelty‘s worn off after 4 days. Most of all, I‘ll probably never get used to having more than 1 person (my mom) reach out to me
