Fall is finally upon us. I can feel the shroud of my summer depression dissipating. The pony is even starting to get her winter fuzz. Please enjoy this silly creature's stick legs.

Took a mental health weekend to purge my office & reorganize literally everything in it before commissions open tomorrow. I went so far as to reorganize my opal jar with a pair of chopsticks. Right now I’m tired but my brain feels clean. ✨

Been on ADHD meds for a week and my brain has been the quietest and calmest it’s been in literal years. It’s not a constant screaming mess of anxious thoughts. I can sit without audio playing for more than five minutes without wanting to have a breakdown.

My anxiety has always been at the forefront of my brain especially because I have aphantasia it’s just my inner voice up there shrieking 24/7 365 so I’ve needed bare minimum a constant stream of audio to drown it out and the last week my brain has felt borderline empty? But in such a good, relief bringing, way. It’s nothing like the slew of anxiety or depression meds I’ve tried that made me feel functionally numb.

I got diagnosed with GAD/Depression in highschool and every mental health issue (and even some actual health issues. Which don’t get me started about the absolute heinous neglect cisfem & especially fem people of color face down in medicine on the regular) have been subsequently pinned on that. I think now maybe the ADHD may have been the primary culprit all along?? Don’t get me wrong I’m not completely “cured” the anxiety is still there but it feels much easier to push aside or talk it down when I don’t feel like I’m constantly being hunted for sport.

Anyway it’s been an unbelievable relief to be taken seriously by my new psychiatrist here’s hoping that we can one day have a system where that is the norm.

Howdy friends, I've decided I'm going to finally open commissions on the 15th of this month! Just throwing this out in advance 🖤

You can find all the info and better pictures: Here

Did I just screenshot my site instead of making fancy graphics, maybe so...

My pretty girl recently had her first zoomies at the new barn we’re boarding at. Couldn’t be more grateful to see her coming out of her shell after she has been kept in a small pen for the last decade or so.

I am doing a smutober this year with a goal of 15 posts! I'm going to try and post some things here with censoring as needed, but it's gonna be hard so if you enjoy smutty stuff you can see those posts on my Bluesky or AO3

I have so much stuff cooking and I can’t share a majority of it here since tumblr decided to hate on titties 🥲

So sorry for disappearing off the map for a few weeks. I have a yearly black out period where my hands become borderline useless due to allergies and I can't art!! I also happen forget about this every fucking year until it's upon me.

Anyways lots to catch up on, including last bit of giveaway art for the patient saints waiting on it. (Next giveaway will be in fall or winter to 100% avoid this issue cause I'm a dumb ass)

Excited to wrap up giveaway art, draw some smutty exchange art, finish the six characters meme, and squeeze in at least one piece of queer art for Pride month, maybe Jack & Star again?? Or Xochi, Hancock & MacCready or Lana & Esskelle or Ariadne & Karlach or one of my millions of other queer couples lmao

Just excited to have hands again!

15 questions for 15 friends

tagged by @dandenbo gracias, Dan!

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: I've had my online name for over a decade now & I picked it for what I thought was a dead finch on my college campus in art school. I found out later it was a yellow warbler. My human name is from a song I won't name. I like my gender neutral online handle better.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?: On Monday!

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?: Nope and have zero plans to.

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?: Softball, but I also did competitive horseback riding for a long time.

DO YOU USE SARCASM?: Yes, but not as much over text because I'm neurospicy and I worry too much about how people will perceive things.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?: Attitude. How they interact with others and the world.

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR?: Brown.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?: Happy endings!

ANY TALENTS?: I doodle.

FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?: I was not a school person, I did not enjoy school. I love learning about science, art, and history on my own terms though.

DREAM JOB?: Would love to have a patron who paid me to just draw shit forever. I don't really dream about work because I don't want to burn out on the things I love because I'm forced to do them.
