I haven’t done anything because I don’t want to exist right now.
It’s Mental Health/ADHD Awareness month, last week was Mental Health Awareness Week, OCD Awareness Week is now, World Mental Health Day was a few days ago, today is Anti-bullying Day, it’ll be Red Ribbon Week (not the one done is schools but the actual one) and normally I’d draw something for all of these, but... I’m not going to. I’ve updated Muffet’s ADHD info, though.
Oh yeah, I’m almost done with a few of the refs. And when I say a few, I mean a few. The others haven’t even been started. So don’t get your hopes up anytime soon (mostly talking to myself on that one).
Also the book, I haven’t posted the last four chapters and it’s basically still just the reason of not existing. Probably not going to update it for a few more weeks even though I’ve finished writing most of it, but it’ll be up-to-date by October 22.
Also with the book I’ve been debating if I should put everything into one book because Pros: Navigation, read in order/context, overall easier and more user-friendly, TIMELINE Cons: Constantly switching main characters in a not-very-easy-to-understand format, that one book that could make people hate me... TIMELINE
Whatever. I’ll be back eventually.

Next up, our Snowdin friends. Yes, in this AU, Napstablook lives in Snowdin.
Grillby: Eating Disorders
Napstablook: Sleeping Disorders
While Napsta is involved with Insomnia, Sleeping Disorders is the correct term.
Also Grillby is... Well, his "Eating Disorders" have been split among more characters
She doesn't always have the white eyes. They actually only appear when she's really happy.
River is an Empath.
An Empath is someone who has very high amounts of empathy. Often to the point of feeling other people's emotions. And it's often hard for them to tell if the emotions they feel belong to themselves, or to someone else.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
These are other characters who are not part of the main crew but are important enough to have their own designs.

This is a video released in 2018. It talks about his channel and a friend of his, but he gives a very important message. So if you could give a few minutes to listen...
It's World Bipolar Day
I was going to draw Neurosis!Asgore
But technically this is Bipolar!Asgore (SNT) because I have yet to decide if Neurosis!Asgore would be covered in vines. It doesn't really make sense for his character, but there is a reason in SNT.
(At this point these are my refs because I can't manage to finish my actual refs--
