I drink milk knowing I’m lactose intolerant and then complain that I don’t feel good. I’m the maker of my own misery

I’m thinking about making some vtuber designs. I already have several ideas that are animal based without outright being the animal. I think it would be an interesting challenge for myself. It would also be a good way to improve on my character design skills.

I just realized I never showed my One Piece oc, Sym. I made this before changing my name on my socials. I love her so much!!

Actually, while we're on this, I've noticed a new scam on #DeviantArt saying "YOUR ART WAS SOLD, GIVE US SENSITIVE INFORMATION TO GET PAYMENT!"

I never sold my art on DA in the first place.

Stay safe out there

Working on Pokemon Trainers Neuro and Evil with their partners Espeon and Umbreon. Espeon looks weird bc it’s the outline and I don’t outline eye sparkles

I am officially changing my name on all my socials to RivalVesper. I feel this name fits me more and fits more with what I want to do with both my art and other activities to do online.

I had gone by StarryVesper for nearly 4-5 years. It was time for a change.

WIP I’m also working on. May finish this today after work on stream if I have time

I’m definitely leaning towards Rival since there’s a bunch of AceTrainer themed pokemon accounts

I love Pichi’s design so much, I’m having a lot of fun with drawing her!!

Also, I’m going to do a little bit of rebranding. I know most people know me as StarryVesper, but that name doesn’t really fit my aesthetic and theme that I have set for myself. I want to change my username, but I’m torn between three

RivalVesper
PokeProfVes
AceTrainerVesper

What’s your opinion?

Hello all! I know my hiatus wasn’t as long as some might have thought it would be but it was long enough for me to recalibrate myself a bit. Disconnecting from social media (especially TikTok) has done wonders for my mental health.

Thank you all for your understanding when I went on hiatus!

I am going to be taking a long hiatus from social media. I’m probably going to delete my BlueSky app (not account) for a bit to just disconnect for a while and allow myself time to “recalibrate” myself.

To add onto this, I want to care. But my brain acts as if someone being hurt or upset is more of an inconvenience than anything else. I hate that. I want to care so much, but my mind won’t let me. I feel like something has to be wrong because why don’t I care?

Vesper the Rival @rivalvesper.bsky.social · 18d

I feel like something is wrong with me. Whenever someone is hurt or upset, I can understand their pain. I can see their pain. But I can’t get myself to care. I’ll try comforting them, but I don’t know how. And it’s not like I don’t want to care, I do…my brain just won’t. Am I a bad person?

ALSO!!!! If you use the ai art tag, EVEN IF YOU DONT ACTUALLY DO AI ART…I will block you. I don’t fucking play when it comes to this shit

Vesper the Rival @rivalvesper.bsky.social · 20d

This is a not so friendly reminder that if you create “ai art” that you need to fuck off and stay away from me. If you follow me (which btw I check everyone who follows me) and I see you try to pass that shit off like you made it, I will block you. Leave me the fuck alone!!!

The only reason I'm not a nsfw artist is because I'm a coward and I don't publish my stuff, but I wanna say LET P0RN ARTISTS BE FREAKS IN PEACE!

Wanting art to be "sanitized" is, and always will be, fascism. Today they come for them, tomorrow they come FOR YOU.

The NSFW rule is exceedingly dangerous. I have friends on here who make NSFW, and you’re telling me if someone doesn’t like it, they can report it for being non-consensual and my friends could have their accounts banned???? Shit like this is not okay. Maybe actually listen to your user base.
