belated subtitled timelapse

Another impromptu illustration of Weegie, Mario and Peach

Because why not ;P

Also it’s fun just to draw and keeping it cute!

This annual event is important enough for me to post on twitter – for the hashtag. Even though my previous post is about not keeping twitter up to date with most of my personal art and fanart things, sheepishly I’m caving for this piece for the reach (if any) for this day :0

(Edit: it’s 8 likes on twitter and 6 likes on bluesky and 11 likes on instagram so I stand corrected on where I get the most)

Again most fanart & personal art/blog updates won’t be posted on twitter unless it’s important/an event/tag/for work 🌸

I do have fanart ahead slowly in the works but I won’t post most of them on twitter ;P

Leonie rambles about…

• Ongoing facing the consequences for being a hermit when you’re left behind and the world/people live and go on without you :’)
  • realising more ways on how unaware I’ve been
  • and fear of being taken advantage of again by opportunists
  • resentful, hurt, disappointment and envious feelings aside, what can I do but to focus on what I can control
  • and I can’t expect too much from others, especially when I’m the one who’s minimising overwhelm and in some ways outcasting myself
  • or as I tell myself for reassurance and to process this
  • I don’t think things can change right now but at least I’m more aware? I don’t know :<
  • I know that if I compromise then it’ll be at the expense of myself, time and well being :S
  • at the same time I don’t know if I should anyway to prove myself, mask and to survive
  • I really don’t want to mask too much as I burn out even more rapidly that way
• I didn’t know doing a personal comic and reflective blog post about parasocial relationships in 2018 would make me seem an expert or experienced in it whoops – I am not
• I am still bummed still that I didn’t know kimodameshi 6 is already running this month
  • frustrating that they keep changing who runs it and which month it happens
  • also I miss the invite because I’m not checking my twitter feed often – I’m trying to not check too much ahhh
  • I’ll give up this challenge since I don’t have time for it anyway
  • I’ll do my own art challenges and things at my own tempo 😛
• Also the Princess Peach: Showtime! demo is out! Apparently it’s like Barbie or Luigi’s Mansion + Yoshi’s Woolly World? I’ll wait until I’m ready to play after my backlog of games :’)
• been slowly watching Like a Dragon 8 and enjoying it every much and feeling sad/depressed/upset from the emotional drama :’)
• it’s now also 15 years of wordpress cms for me wow
• reminded that if I wanted to be creative and do what I enjoy I need to do it on my own
  • otherwise the project’s, audience’s, employer’s, team’s and/or client’s needs come first
  • I guess that’s why I don’t have a huge engaged audience because I create and blog for myself ;P
  • and that is why I am still able to post until now because it’s driven by what I am interested in
  • I do get anxious, depressed, terrified, frustrated and hopeless that I’ll never make a living from my 2D art shenanigans and how it feels like the grass is greener with other artists though…
    • and then I try to stop myself from spiraling

Thanks for reading my short little ramble! :’)

Trying to survive in the middle of the 3 day heatwave over here eep
