I'm Caroline from Gaza. Am sorry for sending you this request without your permission. My house was destroyed in the war, and my family lost everything. We've been displaced multiple times, but there's no safe place here. I'm battling Type 1 Diabetes and can't afford insulin, and my mother needs treatment for kidney failure outside Gaza. Any donation, no matter how small, can help us survive and get my mother the care she needs. A friend outside Gaza is helping with the donation program. Please reach out if you need more details.

i am so sorry, I am unable to help at the moment - but I will share your message

hey yeah sorry for screaming in your notes again your art is yummy and has the same effect on me as cocaine

I've been a bit busy with school, but I haven't put this project aside and I hope it won't take me too long for Pizzeria.

I can not remain silent no more. I've been really, really into Papa Louie series lately, and made a bunch of images. I played these games in my early childhood and had NO IDEA it's customers had actual personalities, let alone plot and lore 😭

It all began with me randomly buying freezeria deluxe on steam, until I got curious about Rhonda and... ☠☠☠ let's just say my top favorites are her, mr. bomboloni, professor fitz, and radlynn "8) (AND RADLEY TOO GOD I LOOOOOVE RADLEY)

proshippers: dont fucking interact

reblogging because this is very sweet + I agree with op, i think this should be less stigmatized

putting personal things under the cut related to self-inserting but mostly selfshipping

I lean more towards selfshipping but I do use that as a sort of coping mechanism paralleling self-inserting. like. if imagining [character] lovingly encouraging me to get out of bed some days helps then I do it. or if they're like telling me to hike my ass off the carpet and go do something productive

I found out about the comfort character and selfship communities 4 years ago and Ive felt a lot better about myself especially since I started selfshipping 7 years ago (wowiee). but really I've self-inserted my whole life without realizing it, with my favorite fictional medias

i still struggle with uh normalizing it for myself in the sense that I still feel like non-existent internalized people are judging me for thinking of something that doesn't exist comforting & loving & interacting with me but. I'm gonna keep doing it regardless of what people think, including myself. and I will support anyone else who does the same (in a healthy manner). thanks for coming to my ted talk might delete this text box later??

This isn't exactly art but, I feel like it's important so I'm posting it here anyway.

Self inserting with my favorite characters has been one of the best coping mechanisms I’ve ever had, and for over a decade I’ve tried to normalize the idea so people don’t feel ashamed to use it for the same purposes. It’s helped me feel better about myself at my darkest points.

I just think the idea of having ppl in your head who love you unconditionally and would never hurt you is a rly good vehicle to help you feel better in lot of situations. These days I mostly just do it for fun, but yesterday was really bad for me, and I made a comic to help cope.

Just something quick in PLP because I was too exhausted to draw it, but it made me feel immensely better. I wasn’t going to post it publicly, but after thinking about it I think I should. It helped me so much, and I want people to not be afraid to do the same thing. I want people to look at me and think “well if Billy’s doing it maybe it’s not so cringe after all, maybe it’s okay if I do it to”

(i don't want to stretch people's dashboards so it'll mostly be under a cut. and also for needed context in regards to the comic: i suffer from schizoaffective disorder and can sometimes experience hallucinations if I forget to take my medications)

(also these were made in parts, so they might feel a little disconnected. That was all part 1, this next is part 2)

and next is a little interlude where Allan does things to help cheer me up

and this is the last part

Today is the day!!!
