You know how people say "draw every day, train your body to miss it".

Used to be a big believer of that and felt like shit because I was completely unable to stick to it for more than a few days in a row (ADD orz). It ate away at my confidence and made me feel like I was a fraud.

Now that I've gone through a massive burnout lasting about 4 years, and as a professional artist, I can tell you that the only way to get out of it for me was to unlearn that shit.

So here's my honest, hard-earned take:

(disclaimer: this applies to people that can afford to take breaks from doing art. If you're a professional artist or going to art school and you're burnt out from that, I feel for you and I don't have good advice, I'm sorry. I hope it gets better soon ❤️)

Hearing my parents and their siblings speak Milanese dialect and not understanding half of it and realising that it will probably mostly die with their generation

Well… I see my reading of A Test of Time has not gone unnoticed (because I am making the blatant assumption ‘twas I who was sending you a bunch of like notifications, because well, I did! Opsies). I’ve actually read it before (and thought I’d already liked most posts, but that might just be tumblr shenanigans) and followed it towards the later part of your posting, eagerly awaiting each new page. It is still as sweet and good as I remember, making it a delightful story to return back to and especially so to rediscover things I’d forgotten (like the background Cass x Varric, Jim the Kindness spirit and MVP, Sera’s bar being called Arrows, and many many more). I adore this story and it keeps coming to my mind every now and then, so firmly intertwined with Adoribull to me. After seeing your recent Adoribull-fanart for Veilguard and the redraw of the last page of the comic, I finally had to give in to the urge and reread it, and loved every second of it. Thank you so much for sharing it and fantastic job on making it! It was, and remains, inspiring to read <3

(Also, the Dorian-playlist from the comic slaps so hard, might have been my work-jam all day!)
