Posted in What are ways you cope with stress? Posted 3 years ago
@totalanimefan: I am going to see my psychologist soon next month in which him & I can talk about my issues, including another coping method I will add here - Regularly around 2019 to now, I write extensive goals when issues in my life occur. I write the issues down and go back to them to add/try to figure out how to fix them for either the present or future (including issues that haven't happened yet or I think will happen at some point.)

I am planning to talk about goal tackling with him, and also my issue of feeling like I have to achieve goals in a certain timeframe to not feel hopeless - which ironically/consequentially also stresses me out (I guess you could call it masochistic?) - and just to take it slow.

I hope things get less stressful for you too :)

@amber lynne: Hi Amber :) Update: I have nearly completed the sketch part of Emelie/Gregory and will move onto colouring/further final detailing soon, after a little more detailing and a lot of cleaning. Is it alright with you that they are both only around bust size (although Emelie takes up quite a bit more page space than Gregory)? I am trying to capture their interaction as much as I can despite that~ ^^
Posted in Do u ever miss ur old (toxic) friends? Posted 3 years ago
I too have reoccurring dreams about my old friends I drifted apart from and miss chatting to them. Some ended badly and others I grew (permanently??) apart from - one I wished well/farewell to & others - I think they thought it was better for me to just take care of myself & not feel i had to improve myself as a better conversationalist/friend & of course, they needed to prioritise themselves too. Honestly, without delving much in the still overwhelmingly painful memories or saying anything bad (as me/them are all nice people), there were some relationships which were good/amazing at first & then spiralled badly later on in which I was the toxic one (I didn't understand I was venting too much to them at the time because of my anxiety), and vice versa. I think it hurts so heart-wrenchingly much to think about for both sides. To conclude, I just wish them & me all the best for the present/future. :) For one of my friends, the one I reached out to, we are talking again ; we just being there for each other every day yet don’t always have to talk.

@amber lynne: Does Gregory still prefer to always have his scythe around him, before he became a reaper? Like, it's something he's proud of for creating with his Portals mana?

@amber lynne: Thank you! <3 I'll update the trade once I complete/ping you the piece. And I'll definitely let you know if that happens :)
Posted in What are ways you cope with stress? Posted 3 years ago
These are all good/valid tips! :)

About music/media in general, sad/depressing actually helps me cope better (as well as hopeful/happy), as I don't feel alone in my emotions. It all depends on the level of how I'm feeling though; for example, if I watch/listen to movies/music which are really confronting - when I'm extremely anxious/depressed to breakdown level (or when I had no sleep to rest my brain) - that's not good for me.


I want to try antidepressant pills again, even though I haven't noticed if they personally help me when I used to take them (probably the only way I would ever know is if family/friends notice difference in me). I took one for months two years ago for my everyday tension headache, but I think it may have contributed to my body/stomach intake issues over time. That was the strongest one I ever took out of my pill history (i have tried more than this strong one), so idk. :/


I don't drink enough water & have too much caffeine (coffee/tea/chocolate), which is bad for my headache/wellbeing in general xD Another reason I want to try pills again, so I don't rely too much on chocolate.

@amber lynne: Thankyou! That's all my questions for now. I'll start the piece soon!

At the moment, I'm thinking they have a picnic (largely consisting of Emelie's cooking) out in the forest clearing during autumn, and they are newly/recently wed. Alternatively, it could be autumn forest themed wedding. Is that okay?

You are welcome to either send trade (I am happy with these two items ^^) now or after, or would you want to see WIP at some point?

@amber lynne: Thanks for the info! :) So, their married life is in the older fantasy world, and does she know he's a reaper then? Did Gregory fall in love with Emelie on his trips down in the mortal world to reap souls, and over time, felt his responsibility to have to kill her (did she grow ill or they had a fight?)

Edit: Oh wait, he was mortal too then. But his murder of her made him into a reaper, as a consequential result of her god awakening?

@amber lynne: Sounds good! :) I'll see how I go with Emelie/Gregory first. What time period do they live in? Do they tend to disagree or are able to compromise on their surroundings? (e.g. light and dark theme elements for their wedding or home)

@amber lynne: I would love to draw her; she's really pretty ^^

And that's okay; you can get back to me anytime :)
