What an eventful summer... (End of the month blog post)

Phew, what a summer huh?

Hello and welcome to another end of the month blog post. I'm actually being on time once again, so... yippee!

Anyways, let's talk about what happened this summer. It brought a lot of emotional rollecoasters to us! But... we're gonna start off with what happened on my side.

In June, I mostly didn't work on art because you know... Art Fight and stuff. But also as I already been telling you I've been brainstorming ideas for my project about my OCs Luna and Rhea. I'm still coming up with the title for it... I was planning to actually finish and post teaser thingy for it sometime in August, but... stuff happened! So hopefully in September for sure.

Now let's talk about July (although I already talked about my experience with Art Fight this year in the previous blog post but I'm gonna recap it again).

It's obvious but I've been doing my best to participate in Art Fight... sadly in my opinion I was too slow this year and the universe just likes kicking me in the butt. Krita crashing and corrupting my file to the point of no restoration, heat and monthly debuff teaming up on me (which is coming soon again), and near the end Web Glaze was having a moment so I had to ask one of my mutuals for help.

This year I was on the Team Fossils as you know. Recently winning team has been announced and as I thought, I lost once again, 5th losing streak let's go! But congrats to Team Crystals! Everyone did so well! Probably at this point I'm gonna consider not to go against my standards or just... switch teams in-between XD

And now... time to talk about August.

Honestly I've been... mostly resting this month. Surely I worked on some art but what I've been mostly focusing on is a couple of birthday gifts and one of them was for someone who I stuck around with for a long time. You probably may know who am I talking about ;3

That's pretty much it from my side.

And now... general stuff.

Boy oh boy, wasn't this summer surely something, huh?

Age verification slowly spreading across the world which questions the future of internet... gonna be real with you here. I usually don't like going dark in public but with all of that stuff I've been trying my best not to give up but man, isn't it hard right now :')

If you're a mutual who somehow still follows me on my private Xitter account (I know it's a dumpsterfire but sadly this is the only place I can trust to my friends/mutuals until Bluesky has private accounts) you probably saw me having a lot of meltdowns, especially about the future of the internet and just my online presence in general. I've been having a lot of thoughts of just... quiting and deleting everything for good and not coming back due to all of that. It's like all of my efforts to make people happy in this world especially during those dark times have been wasted. A couple of days ago I crashed out real hard on my private account due to more bad news coming up so you can tell how hard it's getting to me.

However, if evil people in power think I'm gonna give up now... they're wrong. It may be even harder for me, but I'm gonna keep making sure to do everyone happy, especially now. I'm gonna keep sharing my art and be a silly bunpaca on the internet. That's my mission.

Before I end this blog post... I'm gonna say that I'll be returning from my social media hiatus tomorrow. I know I've been popping in daily despite that but it's just to post/bump my art (and this blog post as well), catch up on some stuff during the check-in and maybe reply to some important stuff/stuff that I couldn't miss. During my hiatus I usually have my skyline set to one of my feeds with exclusively my posts so I don't accidentally check something else. Oh boy, I hope I won't forget to switch it back tomorrow! :'D

That's all!

Please make sure to eat, hydrate and take a good care of yourself!

Keep fighting. I'll be here as long as I can, you're not getting rid of me that easily. >:3

See you on the next blog post!
