Good morning everyone, hope you all are feeling great ^^

Today is rund 2 of cleaning and prepping for first of advent

@Kimmycott it's only recently I've found joy again in creating, havnt had a job since the burnout ( I helped a person with special needs, I liked the job and they liked me but my body said no eventually).

I'm frustrated at the pace I guess, thanks for replying BTW. It's hard ro share since there's alot of people who thinks this is just something you fix with a nap and determination.

OOF, I overdid it. I wish I had some better signs rather than "too late, do nothing for 2-3 days ". Burnout is probably one of the most hard things to treat, I am better but it's like either running on ice or standing still getting nowhere. 😕 I've been sick for 3-4? Years. Just recently got TMS which helped alot, but my heart wants more than what I have atm. I know I can't hurry, but I really long for a job and even if it's not a huge income I would love having something to do at least some days

@DallasBarnett Thank you :) Ill go look asap.

@Slev_xyz That IS really cool! my father would love it, and i bet it could be experimented with by adding magnets to other areas like cupboards to keep them there as well

@Slev_xyz It's just so hard to figure out what kind of avatars in that case, I draw alot of cute stuff which seems to be what people enjoy the most ( I do other stuff to, but this is most requested ). When I try to make polls or ask people I usually get maybe 2 votes, so its hard to base what i should do in my demographic. Theres never really problems when I sell a whole comission thou, then people almost elbow themselves for a spot. I feel like i have a weird position

#cosoartist How do you know what to make for online shops and the like ? I am trying to make one myself but its hard to get a feel what people want. Usually livestreamers comission me, so I dont have any own characters really to make merch of. And the fanart merch world is very confusing to me since my teachers warned me its really dangerous waters to tread in ( but at the same time i see so much of it being done anyway ). I need guidance help :(

@Ellieisnotokay Hope your day is awesome to ^^

He just proceeded to pin comments that agreed to his narrative, how mean people were and how good he was fighting against all the haters. Mental health is really important and as a creator I think it's easy to vent into your normal channels, instead of finding a correct place that can give you the help and support you need. This way you only ruin the foundation you worked so hard to build. Sorry for this rant, I've been watching this for so long now and it gets so frustrating. 3/3

He could throw a fit that people didn't reply fast enough ( within an hour ), and then proceed to call his fans for " fake fans ". I know he has a shadow ban, but tbh twitter give those out like free candy if you even dare to show something erotic. He started to share pictures of negative comments ( which wasn't specified where from, only username and comment ). He even made comics about how mean everyone was towards him, while ignoring the fans that was genuinely worried. (2/3)

Just unfollowed a cartoonist I've followed for years, it really shows what obsession over numbers and depression can do to you. It started with a rather nice slice of life comic about them and their relationship, I enjoyed it. Eventually it started to gain some negativity which happens to all bigger comic artists and especially non traditional ones. And somewhere around that era everything started to be about the numbers, how involved the "fans" was, etc etc. (1/3 )

I want to go on an adventure

@artildawn oh wow, thanks !

@artildawn ah ok! Would be fun to make a collage like you did so I just hoped there was a quick way to do so

@artildawn you're using an AI to do this ? Or did I misunderstand something? 😅

@DallasBarnett it really looks like a Tumblr clone, I'd imagine it's good for illustrators or people who likes blogs etc. I like keeping my socials to like, three at a time. Fb I'm forced to use due to work related things, and family. Instagram was a good choice due to the visual aspect but since they want to be tiktok that's harder as well. This far im pretty happy with CoSo, but I don't know the reach ill get here since its still pretty unknown. Mastodon (?) Seem annoying the little I used it

@DallasBarnett When I looked for the app it seems to be experimental on android so I guess that's why there's glitches ? But thanks for the follow, it was pretty much the only way I could find you for some odd reason :/

@danialexis aww <3 kitties ! My cats majorly use me as their fav heat source/ cuddle pile.

Since the electricity bills are pretty horrible etc we've been trying to save some by not having alot of lights on and not turn on the heat more than necessary, sadly that makes my less furry friend a bit sad and I need to find a good blanket for her. Been looking but only found thin not so warm ones, hoping to be able to find something this weekend. I'm planning on turning on one of the radiators and then make a cozy nest for her, it's not super cold but enough that I would put on a sweater
