Thanks for that~ and dont cut yourself short either. I'm proud of my work but I also put 20+ years of my life into it, so as long as you keep learning you'll find your own path as well!

I think it's better out than in, for sure haha. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words. I think for me, I can easily ignore strangers who seem to hate me.. its harder when its your parents. I'm okay!!

Blegh I'm sorry for letting that out in public. I've been under a lot of pressure to support others I've neglected to support myself

I could tell dad wanted to say something but gave up before starting another argument and I couldn't figure out what to do so I just left the house

I was having a good moment telling dad about recent achievements at work while mom ignored me and pretended I wasn't visible

I start to panic if I take like 2-3 weeks. I always give clients an estimated deadline and the ability to refund if I fail to make it. You can tell who has and hasn't worked a real job before lol

I went to a pretty notable restaurant recently and I kid you not most people were just using their phones to record/stream(?) the place instead of ... Eating. It felt so fucking dystopian and I probably appeared in several vlogs or footage at this point lol

I have this fear of replying to anything on the Internet now because there's a genuine likelihood the person I'm talking to isn't even real just a bot made to fulfill dead internet theory

Aside from the diarrhea parasite, I feel like the food recalls have been more or less on trend with usual reportings no? Or at the very least, I'm glad recalls are still being announced because our systems are working and doing their job.

I find the hate for HSR recently kind of funny like yeah it's got it's problems for me but also I wish I could make $42M on a "bad" month

Fr Endfield is really good right now and I just see the other gacha communities at war lmao

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

What I like about the Arknights/Endfield community is I feel most people just quietly enjoy the game without being arrogant about it or bashing other gachas to "prove" the game.

Why can't the voices in my head tell me I'm awesome and guide me through intelligent financial decisions instead they tell me I'm fat and need to buy games

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I think artists are strong. Many live perfectly good lives with stability and safety, yet actively choose to create a story with a narrative they can control. If you have that spark, even if it's a dying ember, please do everything in your power to not let it extinguish

0121

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

actually make a story or script that *means* something. In my deepest selfish desire, unless I'm commissioned, I don't... Make art for other people's happiness specifically. I make it for my own, in hopes that at least one person can understand what I felt when making it

1111

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

To aspiring artists, I want to give a message that working a "real" job or something non art related doesn't mean you've given up on your art. It can just be that you're valuing a strong foundation to support yourself. And living that kind if reality can give you the raw experiences of life to

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I think.. the fact that my art has left some kind of footprint or legacy, even if to one pair of eyes, makes me feel happy. No idea how far my skills will take me but I am deeply committed to never stop trying to improve

Dude I did 2 days in the office and I'm fucking exhausted how did I do this 5x a week when I was receptionist LOL

Sometimes its not even about the food it's about the "fast" you feel me? Like a day where you get home past dark and don't feel like cooking so you order food but that shit like $30 + tips !!

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

I'm sorry but $20-30 bucks for fast food is insane. That used to be what got you a nice ass dinner. Am I clinging onto the past, are things just never gonna get cheaper while my pay remains the same

Late ass reply but thank you haha. That's the Schrodinger's cat of the situation, I'll never actually know the full context. Thanks for the reassurance though~

Sorry to hear TT happy to support a little so you don't have to eat water soup 🫂

Right, or even swimsuit Kisaki is like a 2 piece with a robe and sunglasses. It feels grounded in practical designs instead of just adding stuff to fill the space

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Coming from a guy who's drawn for a few gacha games, it's been interesting when you boil a character down to their basic shapes are they recognizable or just ornament-slop

1140

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

I think what makes Blue Archive so fanart friendly is how simple the designs are. Even the more complicated outfits or armor designs can be relatively simplified by the artists, and each character weirdly avoids "same face".

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Idk where else to say this but my birthday is always weird to me. It's a combination that I'm glad I lived, relieved I survived, but also guilty I've troubled. I'm not sure! I'll feel less weird tomorrow

Dog I asked a retail employee to help me find an item and they looked at me like I just shat in their sandwich

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

I don't know what circumstances led to them being homeless and broke, the same way they couldn't have known why I was in such a bad mood. Maybe a different day that interaction could've gone better, but idk, I'm sorry

1130

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

That was the only time I can remember crashing out on a stranger; it felt unfair. I was thinking "I worked my ass off at my job, why do you deserve my money". To this day I know I probably shouldn't have yelled, but I'm also not sure if either of us were in the wrong.

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

This is a random confession, but, one day in the city I just got off a shitty day at work where I got yelled at and was in a crappy headspace. A homeless person then asked me for money, I kindly refused, and then started berating me for not giving him money

The people least capable of staying silent really wake up and decide Yeah today's a Library kind of day

People really try to convince me that FF7 Remakes 1/2 are shit and idk I had mad fun playing those games... I even accept its flaws. It's really easy to love something "because", it's genuine to love something "despite".

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

I think people are too afraid to make mistakes, that one flop will ruin your life forever. And because of that people don't want to learn, so they either cheat or give up

Haha thank you, drawing traditional is so fun

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

I pretty much just use social media for posting art (and even then I post maybe 20% of what I draw). Been focusing on irl stuff, job, friends, family, health. Shit that actually matters. Started journaling whenever I get the itch to doomscroll. Mental health has been phenomenal lately lol

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I need some people to realize they are not hobbyists they are shoppers; just buying products to motivate an activity they never do

eri @erikiri.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

I'm at that point where I know my art is good but it's not like.. the level I want it to be at. Maybe I'll feel this way forever. Maybe every artist does? So I respect those who can dedicate all their time and focus to getting their art closer and closer to their ideal
