Someone Messaged Me Regarding A Particular "childhood Sweetheart" On AfkJ's Post About Lyca, So I'd Like

By @ashleybobaxter

yes, kindness. Imma be kind to myself first by not seeing the mf who kept hurting me. letting go of toxic people will lead me to a better way

this is cute af, tysm for this art, i LOVE it *eats it*

Pope is kind of protective of his hamsters.

awesome character design aside, i love how he talks like an ancient being and he fs be disgusted by every shameless mortal who bee having unholy thoughts about him. like if u aint got wings, he won't look ur way or smth. well not that he'd actually look at anyone with that goddamn blindfold but ykwim

This is my 2nd entry into the fanart contest- I just love this game, and DON'T have an obsession with man w/ bird, no. 🐦‍⬛

others be like: arghh u have to pay to win for this game!!! 😤😤😭😡

frugalkubal, a f2p: look at the art, landscapes so beautiful, the character designs are amazing, my ships are sailing, and oh! i finished the afk stages, the story and side stories without even spending a cent... welp anyways, about eironn and lorsan—

My afkJ heroes will soon catch up with my afkA heroes' level. (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

It can get really baffling and even painful when you're given the "silent treatment" while you have absolutely no idea what you did wrong. At least let the person know you're upset and need some time to cool off and gather your thoughts, and that you will speak with them later.

When you do eventually communicate, kindly express yourself without being accusatory or making generalizations about the other person's behavior, bc it can lead to defensiveness and conflict.

Say something like, "I feel overwhelmed when I'm left to do these things on my own. I need help." instead of: "You never help out, and you always leave everything for me to do!"

"I" statements are a way to express your feelings and needs without blaming or criticizing the other person. They typically follow this structure:

"I feel [emotion] when [specific situation] because [reason]."

"I need [specific need or request]."

☆ Remember: People can't read minds. You have to communicate.

Since it's the month of May, here are some of my MerMay art. ◉⁠‿⁠◉

My first Mer creation

Btw, these artworks were originally posted on Cara (my comfort art site♡) during the '23 MerMay event there. I asked one of the admins if it's okay for me to submit unconventional-looking merfolks, and they said yes. They actually liked my beloved abominations. lol

"Deep Sea Queen"

The name is just a reference to Deep Sea King from One Punch Man. I just wanted to call her DSQ, bc she's a deep sea creature and a queen. 💅😂 I also kinda referenced an angler fish (for that head-arm extension thingy), gold fish (for the body), and one of my older sisters (for the long flowy hair). ♡ lol

"Pardon May"

Fun fact: Squids have tentacles but octopuses don't. Both have 8 arms (not tentacles!), but squids also have two longer tentacles (appendages that only have suctions at the end of limb) used to catch fish and shrimp in open-ocean waters. Octopuses have 8 appendages while squids have 10 (8 arms and 2 tentacles).

"Safe Mother"

I just literally combined two prompts: "safe" and "mother." (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

"Heye"

Its name is pronounced like the greeting "Hi" but the 'i" is replaced with "eye" for obvious reasons. Also, I just thought of an octopus, a jellyfish, thalassophobia and Mike Wazowski when I drew this. lol

"Tiptoe Thru the Tulips"

I named them Speckle and Jawrothy. ♡

🎶song inspiration 🎶

"Mr. Dapper"

I just wanted to draw a fine gentlemer. The prompt was red, btw. (It may not be obvious, so I'd like to point out that his earring is a golden fish hook.🪝🎣)

"Footima, the Sea Snail(?)"

The prompt was friend. So, here's my dear friend, Footima. 🥰😂

"Mercy guides me as I fight with valor."

fucking idiot 😭

Soren's confidence in his art skills is so hilariously endearing. 😂💕
