I think... I think 16 entries to Insectember is all I can manage this year T^T (Maybe I'll move it to October next year, September hates me)

a traditional sketch with teal marker on white paper of quilbugs insect persona crushed by boxes marked with various life events that happened in September 2026; Uni work, work, new pet, chronic fatigue, moving, water crisis. Beneath the drawing, "September" is written in messy bubble font, annotated with "the month of change (and chaos)."
