🕑 Added 2021-05-19 03:48:18 +0000 UTCHello there, Patronz! Apologies for the quietness, Iāve been up to a lot of tricky mental roadblocks and such that relate a lot to my comics. Iām very happy to be slowly grinding out some new pieces though, itās been good to exercise my comic muscles with some genuine practice.
As for the other bits, Iāve been realizing a lot as to why comics have been harder for me to make the past few years as opposed to when I was younger, and Iāve reflected on it lots.
****///Iād like to note that further down there are mentions of emotional abuse, proceed with caution if thatās something that might bring anything up for you///****
Aside from the responsibilities that come in general with being an adult plus the entire lockdown (which has totally contributed to some of this struggle), Iāve noticed a lot of it has to do with the years I was communicating with the person who would go on to be my abuser. I realize now that the stress I had to endure through being told my love for my comics wasnāt good to have, or something to just dismiss, has stuck with me and made everything Iāve made from the years 2013-2020 feel heavy with pain and stress, and it makes it very hard to pick up my pen and get working again, even though Iād very much like to!
Iām considering making a small minicomic detailing some of this and getting into these feelings, definitely with some good humor and funny visuals. I know a big part of healing for me is going to include just as much focus on loving my past self as loving what I am today. Just gotta get to work, ya know? :^}
I hope youāre looking forward to more Gold Moonbeam Hollow, too! As the weather heats up and my immunity to covid kicks in (YAHOO!!!) Iāll defo be doodling more out in the sunshine. Thanks so much again for your support! :ā^} means so much to have ya here!
