I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?
But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?
Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)
Or any sentence containing the word “finally”.
If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.
Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

This little mothman guy has been bouncing around in my head for a while, same for the one in the corner. Maybe someday I'll have the energy to give them full drawings.
Really wanted to draw but wasn't sure what to do, so have some sketches of random emotes people have sent me on Discord.
Animation time!
I completely forgot that Krita has animation now! Started learning the interface by making a little test with my new persona >:)
Another Rambley drawing for today!
Going for nearly two years without creative inspiration and then having it surge all of a sudden has been weird. I'm trying to hold back from doing too much and exhausting myself again.
I don't know why this is what made me come out of lurking, but yes! My mother was, and still is, so weird about my hair. I'm not a kid anymore, so she isn't able to control me as much, but she still makes offhand comments about how "she wishes I would let it grow some" or that I "looked so much better and more presentable before" every time I have it trimmed.
The Age Old Struggle:
Tried making a comic strip for the first time and had allot of fun with it. I hope to make some sort of sequel or extension to this in the future when I have the time.
Man, if I showed this to myself back when we first made this oc they would've gone feral. (Even though we couldn't figure out how to give them proper feet)
Bonus @mangakeque doodle I just found in my sketches folder. The face was so funny I couldn't resist redrawing it.
