*Throws This Into The Void*

*Throws this into the void*

Inktober Day 11: Run

I have a memory of when I was about 15, hiding behind a tree in the shadow cast by a streetlight, while my mother was frantically looking for me for hours.

I plan to keep this blog light hearted and fun, but sometimes things come together a bit less happily and so we get a melancholy personal piece. From the age of about 9 my home life got a lot scarier and it culminated into a full breakdown when I was 15/16. Dropped out of school, family broke up, etc. At that time I was running away from home a lot (but returning before midnight) just to escape my fear and the stress. It’s hard being a kid, not feeling like you have many options.

I still have the lingering effects of PTSD but things do get better. Though I’m prone to the emotions in small bouts I no longer have clinical depression or an anxiety disorder and have no disassociative disorder at all anymore. I’m in a long term, healthy relationship with my favourite person in the world, who I live with in a pretty sweet little apartment. I’m doing a job I find fulfilling, I have friends and family I love, and most importantly I enjoy simply being alive. It’s a hard journey with lots of steps back and forward, but don’t ever think you can’t get there so long as you refuse to die. Overall I think I’m lucky, depression and suicide run in both sides of my family. But I’m one of the ones who survived.

You seem to like that new comic so I won’t delete it

BUT the original was meant to say ‘short hair’ instead of ‘long hair’... which completely changes the vibe and makes it all much more funny to me, so here’s a fixed copy

DON’T WRITE COMICS AT 3AM KIDS BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE A MISTAKE AND IT WILL BE ON THE INTERNET FOREVER

New blog = New drawings of all my favourites

Did a quick and messy speed paint of Queen Oona from Disenchantment because part of me always wants to be that creepy sexy lady who leaves people confused.

This lock screen from ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’… but Sasusaku
