Do You Want A Relationship Or Do You Just Want To Be Happy(ier)?

do you want a relationship or do you just want to be happy(ier)?

hear me out.

sometimes when i hear ppl around me complain about how much they want a bf/gf/partner in general i often want to ask, "why exactly?"

because a lot of the time, at the core, people want a s/o to address some other thing in their life they want fulfilled. like it's more of just wanting companionship, someone to connect to, wishing to feel less lonely etc

i feel like this is worth thinking about bc often people will get into a relationship thinking it will solve this core issue they have, and when it doesn't it catches them off guard. like ur s/o is there to improve your overall quality of life, not solve your life problems for u--that's smth u need to work on urself. yes it will suck. but it will be worth it bc ull be a more well-rounded person!

i used to kinda wish i had a relationship myself, but as i met more ppl and made more friends that feeling went away and i realised i was really content with just my platonic relationships. bc at the root i really just wanted people i could truly connect to, people i could chat up whenever. and i got that when i built a good network of friends.

you don't need a romantic relationship to be happy. it's better to try to address these needs first instead of throwing it all upon the hypothetical partner to solve.

i think about this whenever i have that "i want a relationship" feeling again.

"ALIEN" - EYES

They say every person is unique. Each life is precious. I can see that. It's in the way they laugh, the way they cry; the soul is in their eyes. So i have to ask. Why do they look at me like that?

FIRST | 1 | NEXT

you look at me like you hate me. why?

this is just gonna be a short comic i'll make to work through some feelings. i feel like an alien a lot of the time - not in the space-y sense, but like i have to be from somewhere else. it's really lonely, and i realized that i have no excuse for keeping it in because it slips out anyway :p

i feel like a 6-year-old honestly ToT "wahh! wahh! they didn't want to be friends!" but well,,,,,, i've been like this for so long it needs to leave haha

ft. @astravox cameo HAHAHA if i add someone, it can't be in a negative way so. need happiness!!

Michiko And Ruelle - Mermay Edition

First, the full coloured version of how they might look like, because Ive been dying to draw this, specifically all of Michiko's markings, but I also think Ruelle's simple palette is sooo pretty <3

Below, a sort of comic? Or at least with all the images side by side it feels very story like

Dunno about you, but I would rescue the pretty girl too. Well done Michiko.

Michiko And Ruelle - Mermay Edition

Oh no what's that?? Rue you better protect the mermaid or I swear-

Michiko And Ruelle - Mermay Edition

Welp. Someone failed here.

Michiko And Ruelle - Mermay Edition

Rue is not happy. I couldnt even begin to try and guess why.

The end.

i hear about the Bohemian Grove every once in a while and i just want to share! we come up with conspiracy theories about secret elite meetings when one already exists! (source: Britannica)

this is a secretive annual meeting between mostly white male artists, writers, actors, lawyers, journalists and businessmen. they get "bohemian" from the idea that they are cultured intellectuals and used the owl as an emblem.

the 16-day event is called an "encampment" and they host events and rituals like the "Cremation of Care." despite journalists' attendance, we don't get really any info on this, only leaks! they hide from the public in a 2.7k acre area, and this is NOT a small thing! they've had members like Ronald Reagan and Mark Twain.
