DRAWESOME

Hello there!!!! If anybody is left to see my posts... (joking)

I'm a bit sad I broke my streak of posting every month of the year on here, but ah well. (Wait actually hold up I just checked and I've already missed March... Well.) I think taking a break from blogging (even casual blogging) was for the best. I actually took several weeks off all social media in mid-October and that made me feel SO MUCH better. Officially it was to avoid Z-A spoilers (I received the game later than expected) but then I was like man, it's nice to not have to worry about being active on Tumblr for a while or whatever. It made me feel less bad about my lack of creative endeavors, too.

Well, the latter is not a problem for me right now because I'm running on pure, undistilled Z-A brainrot right now. I've already written and posted three fics (which have been crossposted on teamflare btw just saying just saying) I'm back to drawing every single day, and I have a 6-pages comic all sketched. I feel a little bit crazy but in a good way. The main downside is that I'm having a real hard time focusing on other things </3 but that's alright. I'm managing. I think.

I want to talk about Z-A SO BAD there's actually a full review I've been meaning to post for like. A month and a half at this point but I still haven't finished it. I'd like to do that before my birthday though. Instead I'm endlessly replying to Tumblr asks people have been sending me, which is also cool. Lots of FRESH!! AND NEW!!! blorbo material to discuss. Honestly I'm mentioning the review here in the hope that talking about it can get my brain to finally let me write more of it so I can post it here, which was my plan all along. Prayer circle etc.

What's new other than that... Hmm... The German classes I mentioned in my last post have been going great! I feel like I'm actually learning stuff, although it's still a bit slow-going. I can tell when people are talking about numbers, which feels huge as somebody who prior to this could barely count to 3 in German lol. We've barely just dipped our toes into stuff like dative and accusative at this point but I'm secretly hoping my years of Latin in middle school will come in clutch...

I posted the announcement for the next perfworldweek round and I'm very much looking forward to what people will make >:) I need to work on more of the graphics for it, but right now it's crazy holiday seasons so I'm focusing on other stuff. (Such as the gifts I still need to finish. Aough.) Being motivated to draw again has been a huge help ngl.

I'm also doing the holiday love meme again this year!!! I really really really want to push myself to leave comments for other people because I tend to procrastinate on it and then I'm like it's too late and I don't have anything to say aaaaaa. Once again, saying this here to hold myself accountable, I guess. o9

my thread here

It's also fandomtrees season and my Z-A addled brain convinced me to sign up requesting exclusively my new ship under Pokémon, which is a first lol. I expect the few exchanges I'll allow myself to do next year will be heavy on them as well to be honest. (I even signed up to consent_issues_exchange with only one fandom and one ship, which I'd never done before...)

Anyway... I'm convinced there was more I meant to write but I can't remember now lol. You should tell me what you think of Z-A in the comments or link me to posts you've written about it etc. I'm really curious!!! I will leave you with these Corbeau icons I made on a whim because I saw someone was using some of my Yoshi icons and I got excited. Enjoy!! 💜

By the way, and speaking of, the Pokémon icons community is still happening! I'm hoping to have it up sometime next week.
