I’m sorry, but for the people who say it gets easier, it doesn’t. It really doesn’t. You just have to force yourself to move on like it does but it’s been two weeks and I still feel all this pain in my heart.

I'd trade the last Star Wars trilogy as well for this sequel
I just assume even if he dies the Republicans will just throw shades on him and Weekend at Bernie’s him for the rest of eternity because democracy is a joke now.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

what a year. every time a potential freelance gig comes my way, the client ends up ghosting me :') please don't do this, at least tell me you're not interested, or you've decided to move on with another artist. the silence just sucks
“It takes a village”. It sucks when you’re only cared for by the village and neglected/abused by your parents but it kept me wanting to live and become more independent and accomplished, and I always try to be an active member of the village now, as an adult, helping kids that are growing up like me
I had a friend with a mom who was very good with cooking that would let me watch her and even seemed happy that I really enjoyed her approach. And another friend taught me that if you do even the smallest chore when depressed, it’s a good way to get yourself out of the funk.
I am so grateful that I surrounded myself with people with the experiences that I needed to learn who were willing to teach. As much as I had a hard time with my ex, it is because of him I learned to drive. Unlike with my dad, he felt it was important and was nurturing with it.
I learned from friends and their parents as well as trial and error. I had the same kind of experience. Any time I tried to learn skills from my parents, I was told, “children were meant to be seen not heard” or that I was a know-it-all who would probably burn down the house.
Dream’s been situated real quick throughout the house. He gets along with all the others and reminds me of my angel, Ninja. He’s just as loud, bossy, mischievous, and attached to my hip as my departed best friend and I couldn’t be more grateful. ❤️❤️
I actually didn’t think it was bad. Just know that it really doesn’t touch in adapt the game itself, just takes certain tropes and ideas from the game and does it’s own thing. I get why people were upset because it is supposed to be an adaptation but it is quite compelling as its own thing.
It’s SO good!!!
They consider anyone laying in bed pornography too. Have had that battle way too much. Along with boys making out, fully closed. That’s considered sexual.

Being friends with someone is so intimate bc I'm trusting you to be a good person PLEASE don't disappoint me
Today, I lost my best friend in the whole world, Ninja. He was 23 years old and I loved him as much as I know he loved me. He was so strong and brave, even to his passing away, and I am so happy to have gotten every single day with him. He passed away peacefully under my art desk where he loved.
Oh hey look it me 🫠
I can’t believe they tried to convince us all that Aliens is better than Alien

Found some old pencil art from 2019 Chemical Half Dreams
Thank you so much. ❤️✨
Starting out always feels so rough and weird…
Decided I am done with this one. Gonna do something different now. #watercolor #art #traditional #traditionalart #cat
You know, I might not hate this whole watercolor painting thing as much as I used to… #wip #watercolor #traditionalart
I feel this with my whole heart
one day the inbox will be empty and all dms will be answered and I'll sleep.
The motion felt through this piece is fantastic so, naturally, I have to share it!
Today is my birthday! I turned 39, it's... a lot 😁 As always, the best gift would be sharing my art.
Rat Meme Monday for everyone just doing their best.
Commissions are coming soon! Price ranges from $5 to $ 50! Keep your eyes open. They're coming. The unseen will soon be seen. 👁

Redraw #2 of a Jax piece. In order, 2025, 2022, 2021. I’m definitely growing. ❤️ EDIT: are-post because I forgot to label! I know these are a bit spicy for bsky
www.etsy.com/shop/JadeRab... 💫💫 A reminder that I have a shop and that it will be stocked with all of my hobbies. I am currently working on posting at least one item per day. I had done fan pins but learned real quick about IP copyright, so, sadly, I’m going to stay away from direct fan art/crafts
Another fun paper cut! 🤭 #papercutart
I had this same yo-yo when I was a kid and drunkenly purchased it.

I’m not someone who has been consistent on social media but I have found myself to prefer Bluesky. I have found my interactions here to be mellow and sometimes delightful as opposed to all of the others and have had more success with getting interactions when seeking it.
I’ve never been on threads, but seeing as it is an extension of Instagram and that whole metaverse, I’m not inclined to. Bsky is just so less stressful, so I get why you feel that way.
here's your card 🌙
I tend to just look at things on my feed and if I see art, I interact with it.
really looking forward to taking a break as winter caretaker of a secluded lodge. Planning to get some work done on a novel!
I don’t hate weird people, but I hate the label being used as an excuse to treat someone differently or to get away with questionable behavior. Like, “Oh, I like to touch people without asking because I’m weird”. poomang.com/en/t/mycore_...
Redrew this piece for the second time. So, order goes from newest to oldest, from what I am posting, 2025, 2022, and the line art that started it from 2019. ❤️
We’re going to be both annoying. We could combine our powers
I like it too! I saw a video of someone calling it one of the worst and I just can’t agree with that point of view.
I’m doing an exhibition in Houghton. Yesterday, I finished setting up. It’s my first exhibition since college. I’m excited to see how it goes.
someone one said "Maybe being good at social media should not be the main qualifier for all creative work" and i feel that heavily. being an artist online requires you to be an artist, but be a social media manager, video editor, good at public speaking, promote your work, maybe a comic, etc.
*bring
Anyway, TL;DR is stop trying to make Fantastic Four happen, it will never happen. AND get to adapting better stories. May I recommend the incredibly relevant to the times Operation: Zero Tolerance arc? Seriously, being the X-men back and make the Morlocks on big screen, thanks.
Corporations will never have that heart, and when people hired by those corporations get big headed from the attention and unquestioned trust, they lose their heart, their magic. Marvel stories rely on their magic to capture hearts, but like with Wanda, too much of that magic becomes corrupting.
His success has nothing to do with his badass playlists or his ability to make characters cool af, although that helps, he puts real heart into his work. Whether it is Guardians or Slither, James Gunn knows how to lovingly compose an art piece. His success isn’t components, it’s the composition.
And while Superman IS currently well loved, it is ONLY because of how incredible James Gunn is and both studios so badly want everything they have to be in his style only to realize that making a James Gunn-esque movie isn’t just making a music video with quirky characters. James Gunn has heart.
Also, introducing unique and fun characters only in tv shows and then expecting your audience to do homework just to see them in the movies as sidekicks is stupid. You all did Ms Marvel dirty, but Iman Vellani nailed it and will always be my favorite part of the MCU.
*while giving
AND PLEASE don’t get me started on The Phoenix Saga. If one more studio tries to adapt that shitty ass, “We have to sacrifice bland ass Jean Grey” story one more time, without giving Jean Grey a personality of a lamp, I will personally locate a genie and wish all of society forgets that story.
Fantastic Four and Captain America are 60’s thinly veiled America nationalist retro bullshit and honestly, I’m pretty sure we’re getting sick of the “underdogs” that are supposed to represent American values when we currently live in a bully country.
Meanwhile, Thor is a man baby god loosely based on Norse mythos who is pretty impenetrable and only gets more powerful, Spider-man can only keep learning about what responsibilities he has, and just fuck the Fantastic Four and their stupid bullshit.
Starlord is an asshole womanizer who acts more like a pirate than a superhero, Wanda is chaos as a human being with a not always coherent line of thinking, and we’ll, Jeff Goldblum on an orgy ship is just pure gold. These worlds were colorful, dark, but loving of their characters.
The reason that Guardians, WandaVision, and even Thor: Ragnarok became so popular, so all consuming is because they weren’t centered around those same tales. They centered around tales not told on repeat with characters who have flaws and might even be unlikable, and had style with that substance.
Their stories are so familiar to the people that it makes revamps, one offs, and writing easy. You don’t have to be creative or relatable to tell the story of mythos that is as passed down and known as the Bible. You can only tell those stories with those infallible gods for so long it gets stale.
I firmly believe that the CEOs and producers are so out of touch that they are attributed to sales numbers to comics to which stories to adapt and that is why they failed. Fantastic Four, Spider-man, and Captain America may sell well as comics because they are memorable for serialization.
A thread about the MCU and where it went wrong from my perspective. 🧵 As someone who held so strongly to the MCU way past when the hyped die, my firmest belief with the recent releases to what is their weakest point is how much they REALLY want the Fantastic Four to be a thing even though it won’t.
I’m exhausted, and none of this means anything.
Do you all remember the first time you felt your depression? I do. I was twelve years old and I just stared at my toys and thought, “I’m exhausted and none of this means anything”. It never went away. I told myself it was just temporary feelings, but here I am, at 34, just thinking the same thing.
For any artists dealing with adult content bans, I want to encourage you to get involved in the sex worker rights movement. While illustration is not the same as sex work, we share many of the same struggles, and our fights will be stronger if we collaborate.
The only way to change things, as they are currently fixed, is to work as a collective, NOT when things get worse but now. Personally, I would love to bring my torch and pitchfork.

It’s SO GOOD! I can’t wait for volume 2!
Reposting for eyes, but also quote posting so I remember to help when I get a chance.
I put myself in a hole where I work every day, days off only if it falls that way, and I know I have to start really taking care of myself and stopping the habit of believing if I don’t work myself to the bone I don’t deserve what I have, but it is a tough mindset to break.
I really think that customers and hobby artists tend to think that making art could never be exhausting or tiring, but as someone who works making art and has experienced it affecting both my mental and physical health, it’s just like other jobs. Good on you to take steps to being better with it.
Art for my shop inspired by the art of Yusuke Nakamura. I’m on an Asian Kung-Fu Generation kick again and I just love their album art so much. #art #artist #inspired #digitalart #artsky
Absolutely! And yes, it’s my annual re-watch every fall. :)
Twin Peaks! I am convinced!
Every time I start to think I am starting to connect with people through something I enjoy, something like this happens and I don’t know if it’s my conditions but it stresses me out so much that I get sick and cry.
I hate social media so much. I try so hard to be a part of communities but I have a hard time with people misconstruing my words and getting aggressive with me and now I am literally crying because a stranger on the internet got mad at me in an online community I was happy in.
What’s an animated character that you identify with closely? I’ve been compared to her since I was a teen and it’s still one people bring up when comparing me to a character.
