I think i've mentioned it in my last journal entry but Ive been working on a shippy-trashy story, HOWEVER

I honestly cannot decide if I want to make it a comic, or write a fic

Like I have about 22 pages sketched out already (super rough tho) but I'm constantly getting stuck and I feel like writing it out would be easier to get the point across


I honestly want to know what people would prefer: a comic or a fic

Lemme know! 

*coughs*
Anyone still out there? 

Anyways, I kinda felt like I should do a little somethin' here, because for reasons I do NOT understand, I've managed to gain a number of watchers over the past year. Which is hella unusual, because I've only updated this page 3 times last year.

3 DEVIATIONS GUYS WHY ARE Y'ALL EVEN STILL HERE

And I just realized that I've already updated twice this month. Which, ya know, compared to last year is a MASSIVE improvement. 

I'm taking my art a lot more seriously, but I'm trying to re-teach myself that I'm allowed to draw whatever I want, and I can't let myself feel bad for enjoying something after all these years: AKA drawing Sonic characters. Cuz let's be honest, something like that is a life commitment - it literally never leaves you.

TL;DR I WANT TO KEEP DRAWING SONIC STUFF BECAUSE IT'S REALLY FUN AND EVEN THOUGH I'M ALMOST 24 I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT STOP ME

ALSO because there IS so many of you newbies, here's a little intro about me (because, y'know, why not):

my name is Erin, I'm turning 24 in February, I'm married to the most incredible guy in the world, we have a super fluffy cat named Beanbag who's really, REALLY grumpy. I enjoy gardening, painting, and long walks on the beach watching children's shows and movies (I'm currently obsessed with Miraculous Ladybug and I'm falling in love with Steven Universe again). I love drinking tea, the Legend of Zelda series (especially breath of the wild), and pretending I'm a beauty vlogger when I'm doing my makeup in the morning. 

Also, the reason y'all are here OBVIOUSLY: my fav sonic ships are Shadamy and Manina, and I've been plotting out a story involving BOTH! (I still can't decide if I want it to be a fanfic or a comic, or maybe a mix of both?)

like over 2 years or something since my last journal entry? Yikes

This is a really random little thing but it's been on my mind for the last week, and I feel like this is the only place I can record it because the few people who might read it might understand. Also I'm not writing about this in my irl journal because I'm not 15 anymore but for some reason it feels okay to throw it up on deviantart because I feel like I'm 15 again just being on this site ANYWAYS

So last week I was over at a friend's house and we were livestreaming a playthrough of sonic adventure 2 (can i just add that even though I've been a sonic fan for years, I've never actually played a lot of the games and therefore sucked ass at it lmao), being surrounded by people who love Sonic like me but can still make fun of it, I for SOME reason felt like it was safe for me to mention that I shipped Shadow and Amy. I worded it like "oh man it was so long ago hahaha" and ho shit I regret saying anything

They kept teasing me and sending me crappy shadamy fanart over facebook, and while I was like "haha i came here to have a good time and i'm honestly feeling so attacked right now", it really did bug me a bit that this was something that I was really passionate about growing up (and still am), and was low-key getting mocked about.

I don't know, I guess I'm just too hyper-sensitive

also I was definitely expecting them to send me one the crappy drawings I did myself many years ago lol

ON A HAPPIER NOTE Has anyone else played Breath of the Wild yet? It's been my husband's and my life for the past month, it's so addicting and fun, but we're getting to the point where we're running out of things to do and it's making me sad because I don't want it to end, haha

WHOOPS i missed out on shadamy week 

AGAIN

and i really wanted to do it this year too crap
GUESS I'M DOING MY OWN SHADAMY WEEK b/c those prompts were too good to pass up

(btw i'm a married lady now wtf is up with that)

I want to redo some of my older traditional drawings but I can't decide on which one I want to draw first!

Help me decide!
