hello i am spider & i am learning to draw (since feb '24)
moved to quokk.au, same handle, this is now a backup acc <3
it must be quite exhausting work being that cute & angelic all day
Stéphane (2023), it was quite fun, definitely influenced by Creep (2014) but still doing its own thing enough to be entertaining for me
thank you, i sadly relate very much to what you describe and i hope you have a lot more peace in your brain & life going forward! it's hard being in the rough seas but i know those calmer waters are there, and now so do you :)
i haven't been able to have consistent access to meds in the last couple years unfortunately so i can't speak much to how things shake out with long term usage, i do remember some anxiety did come back a bit while i still had regular access (i do have ptsd as well so maybe not so unexpected) but for me it was still nowhere near the level of unmedicated. for some people i know that have been on it a lot longer than me they say it takes the edge off just enough, then other people i know say it actually made their anxiety worse so there seems a bit of variety in experience with it!
yeppp, i was late-dx and when i first got put on rits about 90% of my anxiety dissolved and i was walking around like "holy shit...is this what normal people feel like?? they just get this shit for free?!"
it was just mind-blowing to me that i could finally follow a train of thought and not be constantly overwhelmed by brain noise and other people just.. didn't have that going on at all
yes please make art!
i too felt like i am not a creative person and didn't have any skill. started learning to draw a little over 2 years ago now and am enjoying the journey very much. no, i'm not very good (yet?), and i may never get to a "professional" standard, but i am enjoying it. it feels good to have an outlet and build my skill, learn things, and occasionally doodle something for someone that makes them happy even if it isn't perfect or didn't turn out exactly how i wanted. creative expression is a great gift to give yourself! i draw pretty much every day now and it has helped me immensely in many unexpected ways.
in no particular order:
- Near Dark
- Ganja & Hess
- The Lost Boys
- Blade
- Dracula (1958)
ahhh sad news, i dabbled around on Turtle occasionally and they definitely had one of the friendlier pserver populations in my experience
i really like the whole cast right off the bat, looking forward to a fun season!
but also. poor beleaguered patatas 😭
there is at least one (me)
