So um, I was tagged by Cone_of_Depression because I commented something really stupid on one of their pieces of art. But anyway onto the facts-

1. I have no idea what to say, I'm not the talkative type on the interwebs tbh. But after this you're going to see that I'm probably lying to you with this fact when in reality, I'm not. :D

2. I make funny comments to myself while reading fanfiction, so I believe that my parents are beginning to think I'm a bit crazy. But I also sometimes make hate comments to myself (saying it out loud rather than in the comments of said book), like, hating a specific character or the way the story is going. I do that so then I don't hurt anyone's feelings and I don't waste everybody's time over an argument. (That happened once on my insta and it was NOT fun let me tell ya). And I don't take criticism too well from ANYONE. I leave a comment on a book that I thought was funny at the time then after having not read it in what feels like years, I get a reply from someone that's nearly biting my head off for 'such a rude comment'. I don't remember what I had said, going back to the comment and thinking to myself 'Oh this thing? It was a joke that I made when I was TWELVE' (I'm older than that now-), then I start beating myself up over it and yada, yada, yada, until I eventually forget about it.

3. I start stories but I either never get them out of drafts, or I just publish them and then have a squirrel moment. I have the attention span of a dog it feels like.

4. I roleplay A LOT especially on Instagram. It's like I have nothing else better to do in quarantine now so might as well do that while my books collect virtual dust.

5. I'm a person that when given an assignment I spend a long time getting it done. Like, I'm taking a coding class because it's required for my credits in order to graduate this hell called high school. I'm taking the class online now because COVID-19 is a bitch on helium, but anyway, I spent 6 hours on an assignment that was due the Thursday after it was assigned. (I don't know when you'll be reading this, guys, so it was due March 26, 2020). It was a maze and it was on this cute website called Scratch. Again, took me 6 hours to complete it on the first day. I wanted it out of the way so then I wouldn't stress about it later. And that comes to our next fact!

6. I stress and worry over the littlest of things! I start writing and then I wonder about if I'm moving the story too quickly by adding the other main character in, or when I'm drawing something, I'm worried about the final thing and if it would look good or not, which ends up in me scrapping the whole thing.

7. I'm an artist, I'm not that good, but I'm trying my best, I draw out my Ocs a lot and I guess it turns out okay. I don't post or show very many things that I do because I'm insecure and I look at my work and go, 'That line shouldn't be there! Why did I ink it in like that?!' And other worries like that. I was inspired to be an artist because of my oldest brother. When I was about 9, I went through his stuff because he was 18 and practically an adult to move out and live with his buddies. The thing is, he left all of his notebooks full of secrets that a 9 year old like me shouldn't be sifting through. I found things like love letters to a girl he was REALLY in love with, but they never got together...sad...but anyway, I also found a sketch of an anime girl in a hoodie with cat ears. So, me being someone who wanted to be as good as him, took the notebook and ran to my own room with it. I took out a new piece of paper and I did something that NO ARTIST SHOULD EVER DO except if you're learning like I was at the time. I traced it. Gasp shocker I know. I traced it and I posted it on Instagram, making sure to credit my brother for the original work (because that's what you're SUPPOSED TO DO UGH amateurs 🙄) and then she became my first ever oc, and I was on my way to becoming an artist that I thought was perfect enough to make the world smile. I'm not that close yet, but I'm getting there!
