Bad Moods, Bad People and Birthdays
9 years ago
I've been in a bit of a low-mood the last week. I had injured my hand, cutting it making drawing a bit difficult if not a no-go for a short while til it heals enough to be able to make a fist so apologies to commissioners or potential commissioners. Aside that lately I've been in a bit of a growing depression being here and other sites/communities/places similar. I've been seeing a lot of drama, harassment and stalking of alleged "popular" artists, commissioners/art-buyers and people I've done business with before or talk to regularly.
Because of it I've been getting a bit of disliking, hate and paranoia. Hearing from the acquaintance, any artist they follow or speak to, the other user stalking does then after and had been rumor/hate-mongering trying to give them negative reputation over their past digressions trying to take it beyond that. Even giving me trouble for being affiliated with them. You may even notice submissions missing from my gallery, I have chosen to remove them being they belonged to said person and they have resubmitted them on their profiles so there is no need for me to keep them here. I do not want art in my gallery of people like that. I do no want business from people like that and refuse to do business with them again, having blocked them, although that does little on FA.
That whole matter putting me in a bit of a bad mood, seeing how much drama can transpire from characters, roleplayers and toxic people. It makes me want to do less work of my characters or invest myself in them more. I always worry I'll become one of those people who obsess over them and lose my grip on reality and rationality like the stuff I've seen others do.
That aside I thought I'd mention since FA lacks a "birthday notification" thing like deviant art does, my birthday is on the 7th this month. Not that i'm a birthday person but I know some like leaving little shouts and whatnot so if you're the type to do such, you can now. Being a grown adult birthdays lost their appeal for me ages ago.
Sorry if this post has been a bit negative or depressing, I've just been meaning to post more and get this off my chest and explain why I haven't been posting too much art aside some struggles at sketching.

You can still see everything the other person does, follow them and favourite their stuff.
But you just can't comment, note or shout anything with them.
It's honestly a pathetic and borderline worthless system.
All I can say is, work hard. Do things at your own pace.
If people don't respect that you are busy most of the time because of this.
Then it's their loss. They need to realize that you have to go out of your way IRL to do so much.
Also I hope your Birthday is able to make ya feel better. ;w;
I really do hun. Because you more than deserve a happy day.
