Living my best life <3

Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch came out last week and I am LOVING IT. I have a passion for horse games but there haven't really been any decent ones for many years. The game is kind of clunky but it has racing AND breeding AND lots of pretty scenery AND you can hug your horsey. I am not doing to well at the game so far. The races are haaard T n T
A few days ago someone made a proboard dedicated to one of my favorite novels (and current special interest) The book heavily features "older" internet culture so everyone is really leaning into the 2000's aesthetic. Several people have made amazing GIF signatures. I know old-school forums are never coming back but I do miss that slower pace of communication. I'm sure this board will fade when the novelty wears off but I'm having fun for now! It's funny though... there are many users who are too young to have ever joined a forum before! I turn 30 next month and am definitely starting to feel old in some ways. n_n; I still giggle at peek-a-boo so I don't think I'm /that/ old.
So many books I preordered (FOUR) are coming out this month too, and a visual novel I've been waiting on for a while, Slow Damage. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through it all.
I was contemplating opening up commissions to get a little extra Christmas money but A - I know this time of year is already really competitive for commissions and B - I don't think I'll have time with how much hobby stuff I have going on this month! I've been warming up to the idea of doing commissions again, but then I remember all the stress they caused. *sigh* Two years out and I still think giving up commissions was one of the better decisions I've made. I miss having the motivation to draw. It's hard to get myself to boot up the laptop especially with how tired I've been lately.
Tumblr recently revised their policies in content. My old art/little blog had a lot of content cleared off of it in the big NSFW purge. I set up a side blog for my artwork https://www.tumblr.com/babyblankit - I do not know how active it will be. I love Tumblr for fandom stuff but I was never super fond of it for art.
(Also everyone got sick again LOL. This fall has been brutal so far. Get your flu shot if you can!)

FA+

I’m just shocked the board I joined has enough activity to sustain itself. It’s a weird fandom with very dedicated fans so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.
As for commissions, maybe you could try doing fast doodles for KoFi donations? That way they are low pressure
I've followed you on Tumblr
I followed you back from my main Tumblr C:
I would just be devastated if any of my hard work just disappeared but I know that happens. Things disappear. I hope I don't fade into obscurity like that, I've grinded way too hard and amounted to so little.
I do have to beg the question, what is so wrong with someone like me? Why do a lot of people not like me because I feel so small and infantile. Infantilism is a real thing, I feel very childish in nature still and this place is my only safe haven.
Why do people hate children...
I cannot fathom this anymore.
