alt image (catbox, high quality)

real photo of my desk

i’m realizing now that i could have just traced the photo buuuut all those pretentious art people always say “tracing is terrible and you should never do it” and they they go on a rand about image gen, sooooo i won’t do it. proportions are off by quite a bit. eh, oh well.

i want to make more mamaposts. those are fun, that’s the mood i’m in right now. but also i know that those might come across as too direct or so. i mean, look at this one from ancient times… gosh, those were different times and i do kinda want those to come back. i want to be more forward, not just in comments but in posts as well.
and i guess nothing is stopping me, but i’m always thinking “does this fit on 196?” and the answer is “not really”. but like - most of my stuff doesn’t fit on here sooo… i’m my own filter.
purpleposts are great too but there is a limit to how many scenarios i come up with which

  • make sense in a 2 - 6 panel comic
  • feel safe to share with y’all
  • make the reader feel fuzzies
  • don’t go too far while still being exciting

sooooo what to post?

i wish you a wonderful day in which you can express yourself freely ~

A thread of the posts by @cait.bsky.social. They read as follows:

I had my first talk therapy session with my new therapist and she hit me with the “you’re very self-aware” ☹️

not the “pleasure to have in class” of therapy

that’s right, I know all the tools and have developed countertools so they no longer work. welcome to thunderdome
