Ocs eating snacks 💕
a lot of us are working from home now, pretty abruptly. it’s hard, and especially if you’re like me, a sudden lack of structure coupled with really harsh self-expectations/a tense or unforgiving temperament is really challenging.
i started working from home fulltime this year, and my stop it series is a set of doodled observations i’ve made about the obstacles, bad habits, and unhealthy expectations i’ve found myself running into as i adjust. i hope maybe they can be helpful to other people too!
please check out the linked tag bc i have further observations/clarifications on these in the captions of the individual posts, but i figured it’d be good to finally dump all the notes i’ve made so far into one place.
and a final note on what i’ve run into as i get used to working from home: it is a really really difficult balance for me, bc on one hand i really NEED a lot of self-discipline and productivity assists to get things done and make enough money to survive. but on the other hand, a loooooot of productivity advice/motivation/tools out there are really heavily keyed into capitalism and the concept of productivity as self-worth, and it’s easier than you think to slide into destructive thinking because you’re trying to keep yourself on track. do what you have to do, but make sure that the measures you take to try to make home employment work and get things done are always abt helping yourself do what you need to do without strife, not wringing as much work out of yourself as possible.

Hello everyone, I've been working on uploading all the character interaction events and have made a playlist to easily watch them here:

I will eventually get to all characters and updating this play list as I do!

OCtober character portraits, week 3
Only 5 this week because nobody else sent in a character ): From left to right:
@o.a.k.art Lilja, @jbro_does_art Redd, @bleakojones Chester, @thecatfriend’s Maple, @monifilx Void
Since this week fell short, OCtober is now FINISHED! Thank you to the 19 people that sent me a character!!
welp, my current laptop is breathing its last breath, and i REALLY need a working pc for work, art, and communication. unfortunately, the cheapest decent replacement i can find is $400 which i can’t really do atm. if anyone can donate even a tiny amount or just spread the word around, it would mean more than you can know. tysm!
