I was feeling chipper, despite the fact that I’ve been up all night (I got up really late yesterday, it’s fine).

But then, it’s that time of year again. Mum died on the 20th of May, and every year I go along my merry way until someone reminds me. My general coping method is that I don’t want to know about it today. I don’t want sympathy from my family. It’s attention I don’t want. I’m very private about my grief mostly, especially in front of “facebook” people. I don’t want to think about it, and attention is just a reminder to think about it.

But… It’s been a whole decade now.

I’m not really sure what to do with that information.

Stayed in bed all day, so my intention is to push through til dawn and get some stuff done. The lethargy of depression is taking over my brain though and making it hard for me to do any arting worth a damn. Well, to be fair I’m drawing some pretty nice faces, but faces are like flowers for me as far as doodling goes. They’re the default. If I was tired I’d go to bed, because I don’t feel like moving much anyway, but if I go to bed I’m just going to be alert.

I guess I might quietly forage for food then try art again.



ETA: Had a shower. Feeling a little better. Warmer for now, though cooling quickly. Wearing a beanie, which is keeping my head warm and also just a novelty.

Hey tumblr,

I’m logging off for now, but it would be real great if you could tag your eurovision spoiler posts. Australia doesn’t get to watch the grand final for at least an hour (maybe more depending on which state).

Grumpily yours,

Rebecca

Can we take a second to appreciate how adorable Disney animator Ward Kimball was when he was animating?

Animating Pecos Bill (Melody Time)

Panchito Pistoles (Three Caballeros)

Captain hook (Peter Pan)

Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland)

The Crows (Dumbo). Look how happy he is!

I don’t even have big enough words for how much I admire old Disney and WB animators.

Reblogging for every artist who makes faces when they draw.

What is one nice thing that happened to you today?

I went bush walking with a friend (or, hiking I guess? we have bushland here). Went better than expected.

I want to write queer YA romantic fiction about a mermaid and a selkie.

Do it. I will draw fan art.
