[Stage whispers] The Gallery reward in April is gonna be the stamps :}

Wha? Who said that!!

(I responded w the wrong account LMAO)

It's such an extreme difference haha!

(Also I have plans to add stamps to the list in May, and I wanna have a more reasonable spacing between my comm types haha)

Finally doing what I should have done ages ago (raising the prices for my Little Scenes)

I put a lot of thought and detail in them and I just can't justify the old price tag anymore. If you look at the difference between my first and most recent, it's quite mad haha

I'm semi keeping a process thing for a members' post, and one of things I've wrote down is "my inspiration was the disorienting feeling you get on the top floor of a shopping centre + looking down from the railing + seeing all the ppl on the lower floors"

Inspiration really does come from anywhere

I want everyone to know that getting surreal prompts for posters is my favourite thing in the entire world...

... I phrased that in the most formal way lmao

It's a sucky condition but fuck it we ball HAHA

I avoid talking about mental health, mostly bc I'm a private plover

But I'm actively choosing to be more open about my battle w DPDR bc it significantly impacts my ability to hold conversation and be present and I don't want ppl to misconstrue that as me being rude or smth haha

Art is trying to draw a fullbody, struggling, and then hours later doing it fine for absolutely no reason.

There's a cruelty to art sometimes HAHA

It's time to once again tell ppl to watch the C4 adaptation of my favourite play from the 80s :}

(CW: ableist slur is used at one point)

Also relevant bc I want to make a sona outfit guide w Wynston (that's applicable to all my sonas) since I'm partially taking next week off haha

I think this is why I love vintage clothing bc finding colourful mens fashion is like asking for a miracle sometimes HAHA

Going through my clothes ref collection that I've had for years and it's really amusing seeing it abruptly shift from a punk gritty aesthetic to :DDD COLOURFUL!!!

Best cover ever made. Hands down. No contest

I mean, I've lasted longer doing art full time, so that's good! And I still feel motivated and inspired.

I still miss the craft store job, though. But I think I would miss this equally if I had to give it up haha

I find it funny that I left a stressful job to choose one that is probably equally stressful

I mean, the difference is job satisfaction and the fact that I have more control over everything. But it is funny

Brian Protheroe wanted to write a musical so badly you can just tell

Oh no, 100%! I've seen it happen to memberships I've been in before. I'm being mindful of it behind the scenes, I put stuff in place before I started jic haha ^^

People have been very nice so far in my members quarterly review thing and I'm taken aback (in a good way!)

The running theme is moreso "please don't burn yourself out" which I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting it HAHA

I did also work on art today but it's stuff I can't share anywhere LOL

Okay, all the big EoM things are done. I am officially back on schedule, whew!

I don't get that from posters, even though they take up a lot of brain power too. It's strange!

If there's one thing I probably will never offer, it's customs. Every time I finish making a design, I feel drained

GREEN PARTY WON!!! WHAT A BRIGHT AND TERRIFIC DAY IT IS!!!

Literally! Playing the game of which country can be the most cartoonishly evil...

So so true. They have 8 seats already, which is already too many in my opinion...

It's so funny hearing Reform voters talk because it legitimately makes no sense

"They're taking our jobs" They can't actually work, what the fuck do you mean

"We're paying for too much from them" BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK!!

I don't live in the area, but it's a significant election regardless bc it's the first real judge on whether far right party Reform UK will win a seat or growing-in-popularity left wing Green Party will win. It better be the latter I stfg

It's Gorton and Denton byelection day (well, the voting doesn't start until 9. I'm just awake at 3am, &don't worry about it) and I am STRESSED

... But also the idea of thumbnailing my next set of posters is also really appealing but that's not on my weekly todo LOL
