I'm reblogging to actually use this

Reblogging so I can read all of this; I think I do need to do better with my emotional maturity so this will come in handy.

Amphimorpho! THIS is the big update to the 'sona that I teased a month ago. He's just kinda been a shapeshifter who used a dog form as a "default" because I couldn't think of anything else, but I was really hoping to come up with an actual "shapeshifter form" at some point. And then I discovered these things! Between being adorable, having been influenced by the Animorphs books (which I spent a terrifying amount of time reading in elementary school), and being shapeshifters, everything about them just kinda lined up for me. I clearly need to get better at drawing them though. The actual color pattern I'm going for here is white with both black and gray spots, with that blue-greenish color being reserved for the insides of the ears, tongue, eyes, and pawpads. That and a black "mask" over/around the eyes, and black "hair" in a low, loose ponytail pulled over the left shoulder that stops between the two left arms. Would've drawn the ponytail but tbh I kept looking at how bad this is and decided that I Did Not Have The Energy For That Today

Edit: almost forgot to credit the creator! Amphimorpho were created by tuxedodragon

people r Open and Not Scared and cool ... id like to be like that

“Do it scared” “do it badly” it’s time to drop the guide for do it alone

Doing it scared and doing it badly is one thing, but no one seems to talk about doing it alone. When you feel so isolated from your friends and your family but you have shit to do and you have to get it done no matter what. When your support system really is only you. For any myriad of reasons. We do not talk enough about doing it alone.

Want guides? I do Guides.

Other things? Job, Food, Car, Home, Health, Money. Plus a request form.

Doing it alone the next 1,282 days

Reblogging because this made me feel less alone about being alone

Maybe my use of tumblr shouldn't come from the app 90% of the time if not more. Gonna try and take a break for a bit, i need a detox from all the scrolling. And maybe I'll have actual art to post when I'm back

welp. my mental health improved, and I noticed as much from the MOMENT I woke up the morning after deleting the app. scrolling addiction... broken? Because the plan going forward is to check tumblr from my computer fairly often and just never reinstall the app

It's weird when you can really be self aware of "this is a particularly potent and strange moment in my life" as it's still actively happening
