This Whole World...
6 months ago
Hello,
Damn it's been a long time since I've written any one of these. The last journal was just a YCH which I had some fun with.
Anyways, I'm sure everyone in the world is aware and I'm sure everybody knows what's going on at the moment and I really DESPISE talking about this but this entire system has forced my hand and I simply had no choice but to do so: Tariff threats. And I am NOT a US citizen at all and from what I've hearing from my friends, they're the ones that are struggling the most. But even then, my country will probably have its struggles too when these are imposed. These threats are seriously troubling times and it's possible that my 'fun' part-time job may be in serious trouble too. We're not exactly sure what will happen in the future but we're a week away to this troubling time. There are so many variations and I've endlessly been clicking all over the news (which is not very good in my mental health). That's not what I was hoping for when I got this new computer and it just 'happened' as soon as these threats did.
Also, if things get REALLY bad for me up here (which the last thing I ever wanted to do) is I may have to move. But it seems like no matter where I go, it doesn't matter where up to this point. There will always be these threats and even Europe is facing these threats.
So what's next?
I will probably just continue with my usual life for now and keep on personal drawings (yes I've had dozens of unshared art in my files. Sorry) and basically just go along from there. But if there is a really serious situation such as financial troubles in my house, I will do the best I can to open myself up a bit for commissions without my worries of social anxiety. In my early days, I used to share stuff all the time and even shared some great commission works from other artists. I will most likely have to deal with that and open myself up a bit more. I also have drawn a fun vorny comic myself which I hope people will enjoy. There are some things I want to do some extra work on it but for now I'll just leave it at that when it's really finished.
Are you going to move?
I'm not entirely sure and I want to stay prideful as a Canadian. I would like to believe we can still face these challenging times but I can't be for certain. I'm not a futurologist or anything like that. This is practically like my depressing times like in 2012 but I was just 'young' back then. Don't worry, I have a 'savings plan' as a backup in case anything happens. I like to save funds and I've been doing it for years so I'm not entirely in trouble... yet. I have my eyes on Europe for a long time so we'll see. That US visit BTW? Out the freaking window. That will NEVER happen unfortunately since I've started boycotting their products. There is no way in hell I'll ever visit the US probably (in extreme long terms).
Will you ever share works?
Yeah, apologies of such broken promises and my absences. I had to take a 'step-back' for a while just so I can mentally recover myself. After that 'Twitter incident' I felt sooo unmotivated and just decide to play video games and watch movies in my own time. Get up from work early in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and sleep. I only get 5-hour shifts but I do still receive my PWD cheques which I'm thankful for. This was also the reason I was able to afford my German trips to visit at EF along with my good friends. I'm not entirely sure if I'll get these again. Hopefully not.
Do you have a Bluesky now?
Yes! I cannot stand 'X/Twitter' anymore and it makes me extremely disgusted for what the place has become. You will never see me use that account again and it is gone forever. I went out of my way to delete the app as well and went on to a new place. I have been slowly uploading stuff there if you like to see some new sketches there.

March 2025 Update:
I left this journal on tab and didn't upload it because I wasn't sure what to say about anything else in this whole crisis. I remember COVID was bad but this is probably far worse than I thought it would be. I never thought my country would be threatened by the States and my family is showing their rage against them. I can't even say that my viewers come from the States so it is hard to cut them down. My place is the most peaceful country in the world and I would personally fight against the States if it comes down to that road. But with all of these vents, and punching against something, I think I do feel slightly better. I am sorry it took me a long time for my 'hiatus' to get off but I have been secretly working on some arts and even shown gifts to my friends during my EF trip and all of them have positive reactions which makes me quite pleased about that.
Anyways, Macro March has been quite good for this month and it helps me reflect on the last couple of months. I have toned down the news after these US threats and that 'doomscroll syndrome' is what I'm currently fighting against. This is more of a 'drama' journal and I don't expect very many people to read it really but I have to say something about what's going on anyway... In my current mood, I am feeling better myself and the job that I have is keeping me occupied and busy so that's something. It's better than any other place I've been on honestly and I prefer to come home much earlier than taking full-time jobs anyway (unless I really have no other alternatives).
Thanks for reading this~

More vorny stories along the way and I've made a new character in secret. I hope people like him as much as I do.

P.S. You've caught my interest at "new character in secret", now I'm excited to seeing the new member of the DragonX1010 cast!
