HEYYYY GUYSS!!! So I pretty much took an exact month hiatus and I'm so glad I did cause now I feel a million times better and ready for art!! Sooooo update time!! 1. School Winter break starts for me on the 20th officially (But even then, the two days beforehand are half-days due to exams so MORE TIME FOR ME!!!) This means I can get back to art and (HOPEFULLY) post more on here! If I have the time and motivation, I may do a massive OTA or DTA to make up for barely posting (I've been planning one for over a year LOL) 2. Medical Although we still haven't got the surgery rescheduled, we found out more about my heart thingy. So we went to the doctor and I had to put a heart monitor on for 24 hours straight and then send that it so they could get more info. We got the results back the other day and I'M OKAY!!! They said my extra heartbeats didn't actually occur that often, and they just happened to show up when the doctor was checking on my heartbeat. Although my anxiety levels have been SUPER HIGH lately, due to exams mostly, I've been chatting with mental health experts and getting advice along with planning to contact my counselor about getting in-school therapy :DD I also was super stressed cause I was trying to switch teachers for next semester but my school has a rule that you have to contact the teacher directly about it. I hate confrontation, so I was deathly scared. BUT I finally got the courage to write and send an email on Thursday and he responded Friday morning and supported my decision!! So I'm meeting with one of the head counselors (I forget her position, she's important and in charge of teacher switches) on Tuesday to go through with the change!! Some other fun news I just wanted to spout!!!! I'm officially starting a YouTube channel!! No this isn't a classic "saying I'm doing something but I never actually do it". WRONG. I already have the channel itself made and description written, all I have to do is make a banner and pfp (Which I already sketched out) and then make social medias!! Here's the channel if you're interested :D: https://www.youtube.com/@BwibbleBlabble Some extra things about that: I'm planning to start uploading after the New Year and try to do it for the entire year, like an Unnas Annus situation but I don't delete the videos afterward If I like making videos and want to continue, that year will continue for a while if not forever. If not, they'll just stay there for time capsule of my life for that year :) I have more information on the kind of content I'll make on the YouTube channel itself, but long story short, it's random XD I'm planning to start recording a bunch of videos over break and upload them once or twice a week (Depending on the amount of vids I have) Other news!! I joined an Art Club at my school and we're doing a big art trade within the club! Think of it like a secret santa situation, so I don't know who's drawing my characters and whoever I'm drawing doesn't know I'm drawing them and so on. The entries end tonight so I'll get whoever I'm drawing tmr >:D We're also getting an Oculus for Christmas!! Technically called the Quest 3 but idc. Which also means content for the YouTube channel >:) I also bought like 3 shirts from my favorite indie band (Return To Dust) and when I got it in the mail I got a note from them and a sticker :DDDD (The note had my name on it too! AND IT WAS HANDWRITTEN) I'm also planning to get my haircut short soon (Since it's long rn) and I'm planning to get a job at my local Michael's (YIPPEE) I also finished Driver's Ed after months!! I've also gotten really good at driving lately. I've been working on a few OC refs and updating them so hopefully I can continue that momentum and do all of them :DDDDDD I've also been working on writing my OC stories out so PROGRESS ON THAT!!!! I also figured out my gender and sexuality again!! I went from demiboy to transmasc to agender and then aroace pan to bi to lesbain but I was rethinking a lot and was on a big journey to find a label that truly fit me!! THEN I FOUND ONE!! I'm still aroace, but I'm neptunic, which is the attraction to women, feminine non-binaries, or androgynous non-binaries (Or others in similar identities). Pretty much, anybody but men or masc people. Along with this, I'm genderfaun! Which is pretty much a genderfluid identity of all genders except women or feminine-related genders. I was also thinking about mostly maining they/them pronouns, but I'm hoping my haircut will help me in that aspect. I was thinking of doing they/he pronouns for now, which is maining they/them with an occasional he/him ^^ Long story short, life is looking up! I learned how to draw faces so my drawings have improved and my art block is GONE!! My medical stuff is fine now and we're hoping to get the surgery rescheduled soon! I hope to see yall again and hopefully yall can see my future drawings and my YouTube channel :DDDD See ya later!!
