State of the Snake
3 days ago
September 3rd to October 18th 2025, I did something I've never done before - post every single day (and post twice for when I did miss a day) to get my art commissions FINALLY into my gallery. It has been incredible getting the amount of feedback, statements, and conversations from the art I post. I've been as diligent as I can in responding to comments, favorites, and the like. I'm completely blown away by the reception, and I'm very appreciative of all the kind comments and conversations with folks. ^.=.^
Since injuring my left arm about a week and a half ago at the gym, to then exacerbating my right arm and showing it too was injured from the same gym workout, I've refrained from putting stories in the posts or keeping up with my notifications. Rather than view myself no longer daily posting as a failure, I'm choosing to 'end' the streak on a high note. Of course, I will still be posting as I get art in, and there's still more in the backlog, but I have to take a break. While my arms are getting a bit better, whenever I try to be more online and type back and forth with people, my arms don't take long to start hurting once again. Admittedly, I have also been trying to simply self-care and be mindful of using them, however I think it's best I get some additional assistance and get a medical professional to do a once over - not that I have an issue in attending an appointment out of fear or anything as such; moreso, it's a 'mental spoons' thing for me.
That's all for now, much love.
Mlem! ^.=.^

Hope you take your time resting your arms. Maybe get an ice pack if there is any inflammation and raise it as much as possible.
We're supre proud of you.
And you fucking up your arms is... like, somehow, sorta appropriate for you and your snake arms. Jeez. We're sorry but at the same time... it's another way to give you a spoon back?
THAT YOU CAN'T USE EITHER.
Thanks, that means a lot coming from y'all. And yes that also came to mind - downtime to relax, which I can't beyond simply....sitting here? X3
Ah well, there are definitely worse ways to spend recovery time so I'll take it! ^.=.^
But really, I think it was a great run! As you said, you ended it on your own terms, and you can resume and do it again whenever you want to. :}===<
And thank you Ame', I agree - was a good run and glad I did it. ^.=.^

Wishing you a speedy recovery nonetheless~
