you are now aware of your own breathing
I have art block

rant




im doing an art class with my mom cos we thought it might be fun (it's not but that's besides the point) and we were out drawing together and my brother was there too and generally whenever i make art near my brother and something doesn't look the way i want it to I'll go "oh i don't like that" and he'll get super pissy and be like "it's art it doesn't matter how it looks!!" (i get the sentiment but it gets really really annoying) but i said that i didn't like how my drawing for my class looked and he started to say "it doesn't matter" but then he went "oh this is for a grade? yeah it looks bad then"
WHAT??? HUH???? im so mad. he basically said that if you're doing art for a class then it's invalid and doesn't count as art. that's not how this shit works, you don't get to pick and choose what can be described as "art" just because it's being made for a specific purpose. and that purpose being trying to learn something and genuinely improve your art? how is that bad in any way? i don't fucking get it. my brother has the actual most shit takes about art i have ever heard and im fucking sick of hearing them.
how does making art for a grade make it not valid? what the fuck?

my brother said it was morally ok to pirate indie games and then got really defensive when i said the developers of those games probably need that money to live and im seething what the hell

  • Um, it's NOT morally correct to pirate indie games. But it IS morally correct to pirate the games of greedy corporations (especially if you have NO OTHER WAY to play the games except for online services)

EXCLUSIVE update

NOT posting this anywhere else!! also might delete later idk
this is about the project ive been working on slash talking about!

yeah. it's done. im just sitting on it because i want to make a poster or something to tease it.
of course y'all already know this is about dove conley if you've read my other posts.
it's an ARG (alternate reality game), but it's very simple and laid back since i didn't wanna make anything too difficult for my first try.
it was mostly just made to explore the characters' personal stories and growth, so i could get to know them better.
i want to release it before july. which means it should come in the next week.

it is called the avian archive.
the youtube channel already exists. i will post a link to it when i officially announce it, but feel free to try and find it in the meantime :)
im actually so excited for y'all to see this aaa!!

  • > Sewer Monster me too!!

  • I’m genuinely excited I can’t wait lol

  • YWOAH

rant

ignore probably




have any of y'all seen that meme that's like "person who only thinks about x, watching any media at all: getting a lot of x vibes from this..."
it's a very real problem and i find it in a lot of places. like don't get me wrong i find myself doing this with the shit i like, I'll make unnecessary references to my characters or like shorts wars and allat, i genuinely hate that I do it but i still keep doing it anyways
but like i hate it when people "get x vibes" from stuff that doesn't relate to x at all and they're just making shit up.
one good example of this is my brother, who will consistently whenever we're watching anything label every character he can as plural just because he's plural himself (i genuinely can't tell idk if you're supposed to be able to). even if it makes no sense. like we were talking about shorts wars yesterday and he was like "dude what if riggy was just plural and he imagined preston the whole time!1!!1!!!" EVEN THOUGH THATS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE??? preston got into beef with cdot so deep they physically fought each other, he LEGALLY MARRIED BAM, and he also KILLED THE BOSS which would definitely not have happened if riggy was actually the one behind it the whole time.
like i get it if you're interested in a specific media so much that you have to make references any chance you get, but just please make it make sense???
again im not gonna pretend i don't do this myself, i hate that i do and i try not to. but like maybe consider that making constant references and claims about certain media can get really annoying? especially if it's really hard to make the connection or blatantly untrue??
also i won't even lie my brother did also say preston/fd could be plural and i agreed with him because that just made sense, but now im 90% sure that was just a lucky guess he made because if you start accusing every character under the sun of being plural then you're gonna get at least one right.

anyway tangent over im going back to being dead

  • > Sewer Monster i totally agree, it can definitely be an issue with media literacy and/or obsession/hyperfixation

  • Yes this is exactly what tends to bother me so much about fandoms. People can become so obsessed with one thing everything else has to be about that. It annoys me because Ive seen genuinely interesting characters or storylines end up being misinterpreted as a stereotype essentially. And Ive had comments on my own art doing the same before. While I completely understand that my ideas aren’t very original, it becomes annoying when said person is referencing something you personally dislike lol. People just need to understand that there’s a time and place for talking about what they enjoy because not everyone will reciprocate. At the end of the day it’s people with either a lack of media literacy and/or people with a fixation.

  • and also this has never happened to me but posting about your oc or just art in general and having someone in the comments just be like "this looks like x!1!!" or "erm is this an x reference" pisses me off SOOO MUCHHHH. if it's about your oc you're intentionally trying to be original and having someone just boil the entire thing down to a reference, it's just belittling. so like half the time you make a reference to something it either doesn't make sense or is just plain rude. please don't do this

quick update

im sorry I haven't been posting here as much, i have been super busy working on my secret project (LITERALLY WILL BE DONE THIS SUMMER I PROMISE) and i also got a tumblr (linked on my strawpage) but because of that it's gotten harder for me to juggle 3 social medias so i pretty much stopped posting topics here
im sure I'm gonna keep vent posts limited to here, and ill keep posting my normal drawings, and im sure when art fight comes around ill post about it more here than on bluesky/tumblr (my user is ramun3 follow me 🤑)
im not leaving, i am considering it but i think for now im gonna just be a little less active here. im still gonna post regular drawings, just not many topics, and i tend to post more traditional stuff on tumblr anyways so you might as well check it out!
ive made so many great memories here and im definitely not giving it up anytime soon, even if i do decide to leave i will never delete my account or my old drawings
but yeah, would love to hear how y'all have been doing! secret project coming soon! hopefully! im not making any promises but i hope i don't have to toon turf it anymore (iykyk)!

  • > Muna Sketches koi is a nickname for which there isn't really a last name and all the space looking dudes are gods so they don't need them (but they are a family, technically!)

  • I'm stuck here wondering why not all of them have a last name, is it cause they have no family? D,=

I have been working on making new reference sheets for my characters because a lot of them don't have references and/or are super dated. two of them are actually up on my art fight right now!! I just finished a third so I'll put that up soon :3
also I may or may not have created like six new characters who are all interconnected with a ton of lore between them that I will not reveal :3 for the bit :3 (also because I have some cool ideas for it)
I have references for all of them finished as well
anyways if you read this thank youuu :3
I'm probably preparing for art fight way too early but I wanna have all my bases covered because last year I was not prepared at all LMAO

ABOUT MY SECRET PROJECT EXCEPT I STILL CANT SAY SHIT SO IM DODGING TALKING ABOUT IT LMAO


where do I even begin with this? it's going really really well. I'm working on the late-stage parts of the project, haven't quite set things up to publicize it, but that'll happen soon. the portion I'm working on right now is SOOO HARRRDDDD AUDHSJF I WISH I COULD TELL YOU ABOUT EVERY GRUELING SECOND OF ITTTT
BUT that doesn't mean I'm not still passionate about it. this part might be really hard but I have a feeling I'll be proud of it once it's over, and I think you'll like it too!!
I will start posting more teasers in the future, some BIG ones this time. not just "I hope you'll get used to hearing his name" tee hee 🤭
I wonder, if any of you can recall anything about Dove's backstory based on what I've posted, let me know. I'm interested
oh yeah since you've made it this far I'll just come out and say it. the project does center around my character Dove Conley.
so there it is.
I hope you enjoy what he has to offer in the coming months.
