I feel all of this so much, especially since I'm not in school anymore (haven't been for a few years) and, therefore, don't get to see a majority of my friends. It used to help that I saw them once a year during a friend get-together party that I would host, but I couldn't do that this year because... well, you know. 2020.

For example, one of my friends loves owls. Every time I see an owl, I am reminded of them and it makes me sad because they're my most supportive friend and it makes me so happy to see them happy and smiling, but I can't see them right now and it hurts a little.

And I definitely feel you on the reaching out and making new friends thing. There's so many people on here that I've thought about talking to (you're actually one of them), but then I talk myself out of it thinking that I might be bothering someone or might not know what to say. Whenever I'm on discord, I always go on with the plan to strike up a conversation and, by the time I read up on the messages, I convince myself that I would be rudely changing the subject or no one's gonna care so I end up just reading updates and then leaving. It's not what I plan, but it just happens because anxiety just decides that something is definitely going to go wrong and it's annoying.

Sorry for the paragraph, I just felt like I needed to say something because, holy crap, this is something I feel on a daily basis.

I feel that once a year thing, my best friend is a long drive away and we could only ever afford to meet up once a year for a few days. for a couple of years neither of us could afford the bus fares, and then y'know,, global pandemic,, so it's easily been three years since I've seen her in person and I miss her sm. she's the only proper, good friend I've kept over the years, and I'm so looking forward to when I can hug her again <3

I get too scared to approach big discord chats bc I know my messages will get lost in conversation, but then it's the same kind of anxiety on here with one-on-one messaging and thinking people won't want to talk, or that I'm forcing conversations they don't want to have,, things like that hh. don't apologize for the comment, it's nice to know there are other people who feel this too. and please don't be afraid to send over a message! my pm's are always open to make new friends <3

i understand this all too well. for me rather than feeling this with friends i feel this with my father. i remember being his little girl, and knowing he genuinely valued our relationship made me feel loved. just like you said, i want the old him and not the person he is now. i'll see things that remind me of him and it's bittersweet. he's sick, and until he can face that growing our relationship is at a stand still. i can no longer take being the punching bag, and as much as i know his fits of anger are to be taken with a grain of salt, they still hurt. sometimes it's best to let go for the time being. as hard as is it to actually focus solely on yourself, it's needed to heal. hopefully one day we can reconnect with these people once we have all collectively found some peace. wishing you nothing but the best luv~♥

I really like this guy 💜 tbh I'm thinking anout coloring an egg when you get a chance to catch up XD

Idk I was thinking like magic and storms and lightning and all... but with approx the gray/blue/yellows of my FurSona.

3 line edits you want (if any): Crystals (I can't draw them to save my life today, but I tried. Feel free to draw/color how you see fit though!), Mist/Storm/Lightning/etc. (like lightning, mist, and/or or clouds [literally just thought of clouds]
3 accessories you want (if any): Something like this?
Have you added me to your drawing?: Will do once I posted
Other: Can the crystals maybe glow? And feel free to simplify. I've been having fun with add/overlay/etc. today and idk why. And feel free to leave out any of the accessories/edits above - the one I'm really interested in is crystals that maybe glow and like... seep... magic... or something.

Dragon details:

Line edits: Crystals, crystal horns
Accessories: Neck thingy, lightning, mist, more crystals
Eyes: White sclera, baby blue irises, no pupils
Other: All add-ons are removable (and the design underneath is adorable in my opinion)
---

Welp... this took a while XD

Rather than making the crystals glow, I just covered the entire body in a glowy mist and added lightning to the crystals (whether it's jumping to the crystals or coming from the crystals themselves is up to you). And, of course, you may change this idea.

I hope you like 'em!

Valentina-Remenar on DA has some great male anatomy tutorials. I've used their torso tutorial before and it works great; they provide both pictures and explanations. Also, they are an amazing artist in general.

(The link is already on the page that holds the tutorials ^^)

Hopefully this helps a little <3

For anyone else wondering if the link is safe to click, it's just upper-body tutorials and then some photoshop tutorials. There's no fully naked anatomy ^^
