Can. Not. Wait.

Breath of Relief

This is not something I typically share, but I just need to get it out there. I have always thought that in order to be significant, valued, and important, I needed to be loved by someone. However, this "love" that I "needed" was the idea that I needed a boyfriend or a romantic interest. I believe a lot of people think this. What I've come to realize is that I know I am loved. I have a wonderful mom and dad and stepmom and grandma and friends who love me (whether I see them daily or not). I know that whether or not I love someone romantically does not define me, my past, or my future. It simply doesn't matter to me anymore. I know that having a partner is fantastic, if it suits you. But it doesn't define me. And I believe that I am better off without someone, someone who doesn't understand me. Because the best person who understands me, is me. And I am so grateful for everyone in my life who loves me for who I am. I know that I am very independent, and because of who I am, I can't see myself ever being in a relationship with someone. And I can accept that. It may take some more time, but I know that in the long haul, I will genuinely be content and happy.

I was asked to come up with an art prompt for each day of this month, one of my fave times of the year, and I actually really like that idea! So here’s a stab at it!

Day 1 (Today): A character (from a fandom or OC) and what they look like on Sep. 30th and THEN on Oct. 1st

Day 2: A Pokemon dressed up as another Pokemon for Halloween

Day 3: A Disney character drawn in Tim Burton style

Day 4: Two traditional Halloween-ish creatures doing a fusion dance

Day 5: A scene illustrated and based off your favorite fall-based song

Day 6: Alexander Hamilton… and Zombies

Day 7: Peridot is going to have to be taught a lot about this time of year. Draw one of those moments.

Day 8: It’s the Great Pumpkin King, Charlie Brown!

Day 9: What if everything changed colors this time of year, not just the leaves?

Day 10: A character or characters from your fave TV show getting sorted into their respective Hogwarts houses

Day 20: Edward (Insert any other random item here)hands!

Day 22: Draw yourself as the monster of your choosing

Day 23: Characters from The Last Airbender or Legend of Korra using their abilities to cheat at getting more candy

Day 24: Harry Potter, Ron, Hermione… and one random character from a completely different fandom universe who would not be a good addition to the team

Day 25: Pokemon trainers trying to capture a Halloween monster instead of your average pocket monster

Day 26: Characters from any cartoon series swapping animation design with characters from another cartoon series, and they’re all terrified (or at the very least, miffed) about it

Day 27: Characters from any show replacing the roles of the entire Scooby Doo gang

Day 28: Draw your OTP dressed in coordinating, matching Halloween costumes

Day 29: A typically dark or sullen character (either Halloween-ish or otherwise) simply enjoying a Fall day of pumpkin-spiced everything

Day 30: A typically innocent or cheerful character you would be surprised actually likes getting very dark for Halloween

Day 31: Any character(s) (either from a fandom or OC) and what they would be dressed as for Halloween, in the process of trick-or-treating for the evening, with a message of Happy Halloween!! 

Hope you all enjoy these and they inspire you in some way!! Really looking forward to seeing these!!

This is the sign that broke my heart.

“real women have curves” no actually real women don’t dehumanize other women for having a different body type try again
