Also, I've said it before, don't give a moof 500 characters to bark with, because she'll use it and you won't hear the end of it. ^-^;; *Barks too much...*

I often feel like I'm a relic of the past... I don't do memes, in fact they often give me a headache trying to wrap my head around, I'm not random, I don't get overexcited.

On the downside, I feel like I don't fit into the world as it is today and it makes me a little scared to interact with others, but on the upside, it feels like being the overbearing mum who might not understand all of what her kids are talking about, but who still tries and who still loves them, and that helps a little. ❤️

Been on Mastodon for a few weeks, still not used to the whole different timelines deal, but I love the feature, it's good for both seeing new stuff and sending out occasional good vibes to others whom you might not know well enough to see on your personal timeline.

I need to get used to check the other timelines more, but slowly getting there. ❤️

@maxinered has good ideas ❤ she suggested an addition to my sketch and I liked it, so I added it and it instantly made it much better. ❤

Slight technical issues getting started on things today, but got a bit of drawing done none the less. Just a rough sketch for now, don't think I do lineart now because it's going to take forever, so better to start fresh.

I always underestimate how much work certain things will be, like trying to sketch out a wheelchair. ^-^;;

I often envy asexual people ^-^;; there's a lot of my life that'd be easier as such... and I am by no means trying to say that ace people have it easy, because that'd be nonsense.

(~) Artists guilt / Lewd desires 

We do not like chasers & what makes a chaser is when attraction turns to objectification. I would not objectify anyone or any type of person, all I'd want to do is visualise a desire, but in doing that others might read different & be hurt...?

I think part of the problem is longing for companionship, thus trying to give life to a dream through art. Part of it is sexual, I will not deny that, but it's much more than that too, however that might be all others see.

(~) Artists guilt / Lewd desires 

You might think this about that feeling that you aren't drawing enough & while I certainly feel that way it's however not what's on my mind.

Call me thirsty, but sometimes I just want to give in to my own desires & draw stuff. Things like a certain type of intersex character that I adore... but then comes the guilt: Am I objectifying? Am I doing bad? Thus I don't do it... I was wondering, do other artists feel similar, having guilt keeping you from drawing?

Was on the way home & as I was getting off an obviously confused lady with a big suitcase was getting off too, so I tried to help. Took a little to figure out from the confused directions she was given to figure out where she was going, but managed to figure it out & then walked her to her destination.

It wasn't a big detour for my sake, so I figured it'd be better to make sure to see her safely to her hotel before heading home myself. She showed me a picture of her parents too, sweet couple. ❤️

(~) Annoyances & nipple nonsense 

You know what annoys me...? Nipple hypocrisy...

I understand full well that it's because the US is backarsewards, but the whole notion that male nipples are all fine & dandy, even when overexaggerated, but nipples on a female character & suddenly it's mature to adult...? It's sexist & it's hypocritical.

It's fine to say "no nipples", but in that case it goes both ways, for any gender or sex.

Fun fact: In Denmark it's legal to sunbathe topless on *any* beach.

I thought this was important to share. By /u/i_have_no_ygrittes on /r/aww

Good morning.

I have to slightly revise my comment from last night, as you can full-word search on Mastodon.

But you have to install another server, that can only search toots, known to your own instance.

Mastodon itself doesn't have that feature, so it can't be abused for harassment.

Just a thing I want to say here, out of two reasons:
a) to help people boost themselves
b) to help people not falling for lies

In Mastodon you can't word search! The only thing that is search able in Toots are hash tags. This means:

If you want to be seen in a search, then use them! #MastodonHelp will put you into searches!

Also nobody can name search themselves, like on :birdsite:. You literally just can't do that here and everyone who claims the opposite lies to you.

Life tip (+) 

Also giving up is not bad.

If you can't do something, that's also good. Not everyone has to be good at everything.

You can do something good, maybe not better than everybody else, but your skill is still needed.

You are unique. You have unique skills and what you make is great.

If someone else is better at something, that doesn't matter either.

You are important, you are loved, you are valid. You are unique and we need you!

Life tip (+) 

Something I have to learn myself, but here it goes:

Don't try to do something huge or perfect.

Try your best. What you make is your best and try to be proud of it!

You drew a stick figure with 20, because you never drew before? It's great, because it is your best!

Everything you create, that has the potential to make people happy (and doesn't hurt anyone) is great and you are great for creating it.

Even if it feels you should do more. You did your best and you're great for that.

uncomfortable truth (+) 

You're cute and everybody who says you aren't, just lies.

You're an adorable cutie and deserve love :purple_sparkling_heart:

Anyone has an idea how CW work programmatically?

I look it up most likely, just if someone wants to point me to something that'll be nice.

If not, then I just look it up myself.

(-) Slight rant: Terrible pick-ups 

Sometimes it amazes me how some people think... or rather don't. Like to basically tell someone "I come to you for roleplay because my current love interest won't let me do them yet" and then be baffled when that sorta kills the mood...?
