I'm manifesting that if we can't make a living off our art anymore that all us artists will find the non-toxic cozy jobs of our dreams that will support our financial needs without draining our creative drives. A place where we can doodle in between customers, and have bosses who care.

Annoyed when RP discord servers allow genAI at all but I'm a extra annoyed when they allow AI art but no AI writing. I don't use either, and it's crappy/hypocritical to do either/or. It's just another instance of people refusing to see how harmful genAI is for us artists AND writers. No AI in RP!!

I'm really close to 100 followers on TikTok! While I'm not particularly going out of my way for algorithms and social media stuff, I would love to at least hit 100 followers :) If you're on TikTok and you like my art, follows and shares are very much appreciated! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP83xn3xA/

100%. I tell folks that if they need someone who is fast, it probably isn't me. But that's okay, and I'm not offended when folks shop elsewhere. If I ever ghost someone it's almost always because I spaced and forgot to write it down ;o; Dang unmedicated ADHD lol

Yesss. I'm slow with commissions sometimes and I have forgotten from time to time, so I adjusted how often I accept commissions and how/when I accept payments too. I let folks know candidly that I can be slow, I don't take prepayments anymore, and I try to update as much as possible.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

The city invited artists out to paint murals on a building set for demolition so I got to paint a bunch of pizzas out for folks to see! Had a ton of fun! #pizzaart #eugeneoregon #eugeneartist #pizza

The amount of books I never experienced growing up because teachers told me audiobooks don't count and nobody questioned why I couldn't keep up (dyslexia + ADHD btw)... I always thought I wasn't smart enough for novels. So glad audiobooks are so accessible these days!! I'm enjoying this one so far!

I totally agree! I feel like, if I am joining a campaign and it is going to not really need a barbarian character, I want to know because then I won't go through all the trouble of playing a barbarian if I'm only going to be useful for knocking down a door every now and again lmao

Yessss like I wanna use the cool combat powerssss! I almost always play a low intelligence melee character anyway. Investigation centered campaigns tend to make me feel bored and useless. Gimmie a big fuckin' monster to slay and villagers to protect any day! Here's one of my barbarians, btw!

I like a mixture of RP and combat personally. I get itchy and bored if I can't use all the combat abilities I spent so much time building into my character lol I feel like setting up expectations ahead of time would help. If I know it's gonna be mostly dungeon crawl, I build my backstory to fit!

I just genuinely don't care. Like if people want to do it, awesome! If they don't, that's fine too. I don't think people should be judged on whether or not they decided to do it. Like any art challenge, if it motivates you to create, rad! They kind of have the opposite effect on me tho lmao
