So What The Hell Happened ???

Hey ya'll ^^ Nova here.

The past year has been pretty rough. I broke a lot of promises. I made a lot of mistakes. I've been skipping a couple of classes. And I think I've been clinically diagnosed with depression.

Before people start feeling sorry for me, lemme just say that in no way shape or form am I TRYING to get people to pity me. In fact, it's the exact opposite. I WANT you guys to know everything, and I want you to know all the stupid mistakes that I've done. It's not only to lift a little bit of weight off my own chest, but to reassure you guys that I'm doing okay and that I'm not dead or something.

So: What the hell happened???

I unplugged myself suddenly from all internet/social media accounts in October of last year. I thought that would be the easiest way to solve my problems. I was overwhelmed with requests, school, and other personal issues, but I didn't want to face them. So I didn't. I ended up running away from my problems, which is probably the worst thing I could have done.

I believe I've had depression for these past 3 years, but it was only recently that my pediatrician talked with me about it. I had some...incidents happen that were caused by my depression, and because of that, I couldn't really bare to be around anybody in real life or the internet. I felt ashamed of myself as a person. I had myself convinced that the only way to solve my problems was just to not face them at all.

And obviously, that wasn't really a solution. In fact, the plan backfired. I truly think it actually ended up boosting or enhancing my depression rather than making me feel better. I had all these guilty thoughts on my mind...and at one point, I even thought about taking my own life. But that's not the case now. I've had a bit of a...revelation and I think it's time for me to stand up for myself. THIS is the only way I can get rid of the guilt.

So, where am I getting at, exactly? If some of you guys were close to me during last year, you'd probably know that I made a promise to get all of those art requests done, but I didn't. I broke a promise, a HUGE promise, and I'm deeply ashamed and disgusted in myself for betraying people that put their trust in me. I was naive to think I could have handled such a big task at such a foolish age.

Let me just say now: I take the promise back. It's been a WHOLE year since that promise, and I still haven't fulfilled it. I'm just gonna say it outright and say that there is no possible way that I can complete it. The people that made the requests would probably be to upset with me to even accept my art, and I wouldn't blame them. I mean, who spends one year trying to draw an art request?? That's crazy logic. It'd be a waste of time for both me and the people who requested me to draw for them if I decided to give them their artwork now.

Plus, they owe me nothing and I owe them nothing. It's not like they're paying for it, so it doesn't really matter either way.

I'm NOT going to be doing any art for anybody unless they do it by commission, which I will try to set up in the summertime, but for now, I will NOT be doing ANY MORE art requests. No exceptions!

Later on today, I will delete all previous artworks (except for art trades and art requests, of course) and start my account off on a blank slate. I hope you guys understand, but this is mainly for me. I've been suffering and been weighed down with guilt and regret for the past year. This is probably NOT going to benefit anybody else but me. I know that sounds selfish, but I really need this. I can't go on living with the guilt that I've been living with.

Thank you for reading and understanding. I hope you all have a nice day ^^

Adoptables DTA! (Draw to Adopt)

UPDATE: the three that have check marks next to them are up for adoption still :-)
So! I finally finished this batch of adoptables and I hope you all enjoy them!
I love all of them dearly but I feel the effort put into them should match whoever really wants them

So! I have some rules~
These are not first come first serve, if you want them you have to draw them! Doesn’t matter if it’s a sketch or Lineart or colored whatever.

Once you ask for them you have 48 hours (2 days) to come up with a drawing. If someone else wants the character then it will depend on either whoever draws the character and uploads it first or how it looks.
If you don’t draw whoever you want in time then you lose out!

Comment below which one you want and please please let me know when you upload it! You can comment on my work or on this or message me.
I won’t accept joke art of these characters, once they belong to you you can do whatever you want!!

You may slightly change the colors but nothing too drastic please.
I think that’s it, any questions, message me or comment below or on one of my pieces.

So Apparently, I Look Like a Boy?? (rip)

//Okie, welp, this is more of a shitpost than anything else. But really, I just wanted to vent 'bout this. I hope some people can relate xD//

Okay, so one day, around the start of the summer, I asked my mom to cut my hair short so that I wouldn't feel as hot as I did. So she cut it and when it dried, I realized it was just barely touching my shoulder. I asked her why she didn't cut it the way I wanted and she said dad wouldn't like it.

She said.
That.
He.
Thinks.
It.
Would.
Make.
Me.
Look.
Like.
A.
Boy.

Like, whut?! Have you even SEEN my cup size?! (You most likely didn't since the only people I'm friends with are online r.i.p.). I'm starting to get the feeling he may be thinking I wanna be a boy/Transgender.

I have no problem with transgender people, they're cool with me! I just don't wanna change myself to a boy cause I feel like my biological sex, a girl. I don't think he understands what it means to be "transgender." Just because I like my hair short doesn't make me a boy right? :/

What, is he afraid I'm lesbian? Welp, that's semi true...? I'm bisexual, but I'm still living in my little rainbow closet ;w; He's Christian and my mom recently converted to Christianity, so he believes that being gay is a sin. I'm Christian too (naturally) but I don't think it's necessarily a sin :/ I found a video that explains it better than I do, but I'm debating whether or not I should put it up (because it might start some... *sniff sniff* d r a m a).

But yea, my dad's an old fart (I still love him tho <3) and I guess he just believes girls should act like girls? He approves of stuff like women's rights and how women shouldn't be stereotyped by men. But I think deep down inside of him, there's still a little bit of expectation of what a girl should be because he was raised differently than you and I. One of those "expectations" being girls shouldn't cut their hair to look like boys. Idk anything, I'm just assuming. Don't think he's a horrible dad :P He's not that bad, but I don't like everything that he likes.

Welp thanks for reading this all the way to the end I guess? xD I need to continue doing my homework sooo I'll reply to any comments I receive later on tonight ;P See ya

(I posted a pic of Haruhi cause y not? Fits the mood, rite? xP)

  • There is nothing wrong with girls/women with short hair. There are styles where short hair can still look feminine. So your parents shouldn't have a problem with it UNLESS you were asking to be like bald or something. Perhaps I am speaking out of line since maybe your family belongs to a traditional denomination. Then again I'm a dude who only has 2 hairstyles: Short and "you need a haircut"

  • Its kewl if u wanna be guy
