2025 #sketchbook doodles, part 5 i did a lot of art therapy this year which helped me unpack and express my mental health issues, especially with family trauma and gender 🐿️♀️

A collection of doodles with notes drawn as part of various art therapy sessions.

- I like going to my therapist's office; because of the rapport & understanding it has become a feminizing space 💚♀
- I've struggled to even recognize the belief that I'm worthless, let alone overcome it (Why should I improve my situation / Why should I care if I live or die)
- And now I'm realizing how much my "home" was my parents throwing shadows on the wall.
- Little changes add up & style + understanding become better detailed
- I see transition as a good thing that happens to other people / I wish it would happen to me and I deserved good things
- Can I trust my values / Can I trust myself / I can't even cry

A collection of doodles with notes drawn as part of various art therapy sessions.

- I struggled to see a point to moving on with my life until I began to confront my gender (not a bad look, but doesn't feel like "me"
- Girl, this is who you are. This is you when you are happy!
- It doesn't always feel present, but it warms my heart so much to imagine my transition / In 5 years, I'll be so proud of me for accepting & loving myself
- "But look at it this way... at least you're smart and pretty now! 💙

i don't really explore themes with my polished tf art, they've always been self-indulgent projects that satisfy my complexity addiction. after i work through some things, i might start pushing more to tell the stories i want to tell. i had a lot of concepts on the back burner for a while now 4/5

Drawn 12 June 2024.

DECLENSION - Склонение
Nominative Case (nom) - Именительный падеж
Indicates the subject of a verb and is considered the “dictionary form” of a declined word.

Genitive Case (gen) - Родительный падеж
Indicates possession of a noun by another.

Dative Case (dat) - Дательный падеж
Indicates the indirect object of a verb- which is the recipient of an action.

Accusative Case (acc) - Винительный падеж
Indicates the direct object of a verb. Is identical to the nominative or genitive cases in many words.

Instrumental Case (ins) - Творительный падеж
Indicates the means by which an action is accomplished.

Prepositional Case (prep) - Предложный падеж
Indicates the location of an action, used after prepositions.

Пример: БЕЛКА (Example: SQUIRREL)
им. белка (singular), белки (plural)
р. белки, белок
д. белке, белкам
в. белку, белок
тв. белкой, белками
пр. белке, белках

NOTE: Some nouns can be declined for a case other than these six, though occurrences are uncommon.
e.g.: лес (forest) can take the locative case: лесу

A brief, non-exhaustive set of notes about verbs in the Russian language.
Drawn 13 June 2024.

SOME NOTES ABOUT RUSSIAN VERBS:

Conjugations
There are two conjugations in Russian:
I: Typically infinitives ending in -ать, but also -ять, -еть, and otherwise most verbs.
e.g.: желать (to wish), думать (to think)
II: Typically infinitives ending in -ить.
NOTE: There are MANY exceptions; some verb stems are conjugated differently, though predictably based on syllable stress and/or the presence of some consonants. Linguist Андрей Зализняк (Andrei Zaliznyak) identified 16 verb classes.

Aspect - Вид
Russian verbs often come in aspectual pairs:
говорить (imperfective) / сказать (perfective) – to speak, talk
превращать (imperfective) / превратить (perfective) – to change, transform
Some perfective verbs are formed by adding a prefix to their imperfective counterparts:
читать – to read
почитать – to read (for a while)
прочитать – to read (an entire work)

Reflexive Verbs
When a verb refers to the subject, conjugate as normal then add -ся after consonants, -сь after vowels.

THE BASICS
Personal pronouns (nominative case):
Singular: я (1st), ты (2nd), он/она/оно (3rd)
Plural: мы (1st), вы (2nd), они (3rd)

Present tense (for imperfective verbs):
Conjugation I – Drop -ть and add suffix.
Singular: -ю (1st), -ешь (2nd), ет (3rd)
Plural: -ем (1st), -ете (2nd), -ют (3rd)
Conjugation II – Drop vowel & -ть and add ending.
Singular: -ю (1st), -ишь (2nd), -ит (3rd)
Plural: -им (1st), -ите (2nd), -ят (3rd)

Future tense (for imperfective verbs):
Conjugate быть (to be) for future tense and follow with the infinitive (compound future).
e.g.: буду читать – I will read.

For perfective verbs:
Use the present conjugations listed above.
Perfective verbs may not occur in the present tense, something can not be completed if it is happening now!
e.g.: прочитаешь – You will read.

Past tense:
Drop -ть and add suffix.
Masculine: -л
Feminine: -ла
Neuter: -ло
Plural: -ли
