bookmark_borderFor the Tired and Weary Artists Who Are Also Adults

Posted on by savethesavages


I know I said it – I was going to draw for myself and Roxy because it was our thing and I still want to but so far it’s not happening. I’m not going to beat myself up for it because I’m an adult who has to work a 9 to 5 for a living wage. By the time I get home from work I still have to clean up after my 2 cats, eat, wash dishes, shower and spend a little time with my husband. I’m not complaining, it is what it is.

bookmark_borderDrawing: I H8 U

Posted on by savethesavages

A fucking mood. I’ve drawn this before but I figured – it’s going to take the same amount of time for me to look for the drawing when I can just redraw it. So yes, it’s Saturday, April 25, 2026 and I still hate you. Forever. Roxy was the biggest hater (for legit reasons) and I miss her so damn much…

But the truth is:

8/22/26 – When a person you care about consistently disappoints you, eventually you lose your attraction to them. This time, I really hope it’s for good. Thank you for showing me again your true self – the person who only uses people to get what they want then turns around and insults them. I wish you well in life, I really do. Just get your toxic, lame, ugly energy far, far away from me.

A person who tricks you into taking them back to extract the sexual energy that made them feel good then turns around and insults you is an addict and a demon. They don’t love you, they just want to use you. Protect yourself from these energy vampires.

bookmark_borderFound: Nothing is Original

Posted on by savethesavages

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.

Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”

– Jim Jarmusch

Posted on by savethesavages

Fri 9/18/26 – I was going to leave this on the front page, but it’s TMI for some (even me). Idk if it’s because of Virgo season, my own Saturn in Virgo or my Mercury in Capricorn but I’m not feeling very sexual lately. I’m also bored of the internet and I’m sick of scrolling through p0rn, like my eyes glaze over and I feel so blahzay about it. Earth energy feels heavy and dense, which means anyone who is trying to connect with me sexually when I cam isn’t flowing…I’m just not turned on. But since I’m not feeling 98% of them anyways, maybe that’s why I’m not vibing with anyone anymore. Even pretending won’t cut it, it’s just not my style. I learned that my Libra moon needs mental stimulation (flirting, laughing and witty banter) in order to get turned on. I might as well go Hermit mode until Libra season or maybe for the rest of the year.

On the upside, I have been recycling old artwork and learning how to loop them infinitely in After Effects; it has been very satisfying for me as I have been wanting to get that dialed down for years now.

And I wish I had thought of it. Except my sexual / perverted side is hidden, controlled and professional. Midheaven in Scorpio.

Some more ramblings

Due to my introverted nature, I actually don’t talk all that much. And if I DO talk, it’s because I’m comfortable and we’re friends. Which is why I haven’t conquered the phoneseggs space yet. I’ve taken a few calls, made some money BUT something’s holding me back. And I can’t seem to want to naturally just pickup the phone and talk. Maybe because the callers themselves have expectations? Which puts pressure on me to give them the best experience so they won’t leave a bad review, which in turn lowkey stresses me tf out, which then puts me in freeze mode. At least with cam, I show up and be myself and whoever is there will tip me for what they want. Then it’s over. Also with certain phoneseggs platforms, I have to bid to be seen among hundreds of other listings.

I am stepping out of my comfort zone…soon. Fingers crossed.
