badly formatted bucket list or something idk this stuff sounds neat and i wanna try:
learn the drums or relearn electric violin and perhaps find a local rock or metal band to vibe with
streaming??? art streams would be nice for body doubling reasons & pngtubing/vtubing seems intriguing
finish that one tween mv for that one song. maybe do more of those too
i. could work with my local regional center to provide free art resources, etc for other folks getting services from that org. might actually even be a decent job??? combines art and supporting other neurodivergent folks in the community
figure out long term commissions/non emergency commissions
maybe ask my brother to help me learn coding
flesh out various character and world building shit in my world building passion project (maybe even research how languages work and develop one for my own purposes
relearn russian, learn welsh, and/or learn polish
scout out that one area that i’m thinking i’d move to in the long term
maybe learn to be a tattoo artist?? also gettin tattoos and more piercings, 10/10 gender euphoria
hone my kayaking skills, maybe learn to become a whitewater kayaking instructor?
participate in the protests for palestine happening in my area
so many possibilities… idk it’s nice to set goals for the future as a wee young person who’s passionate about things

that moment when the nickname you’ve been known as for years is no longer applicable but it’s too iconic to ditch

apocalypse orchestra is a really really interesting rock/metal(?) band that blends centuries-old instruments with modern hard guitar n shit, highly recommend the band :3
if i had a nickel for every time i got into a band that had connections to this one guy™️ (serj tankian) without knowing it i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice (viza, dog fashion disco)
don’t know much about the people behind the bands but the music itself is insanely good istg— i feel like atp i should listen to system of a down’s stuff (where serj is the lead singer)

Helpful Blog Guide (or, what you’ll find here)
this post updates from time to time | last update: november 1, 2024
『 Important Disclaimers! 』
Please read this if you aren’t already familiar with me and my work.
BYI ➥
This blog features dark themes, including but not limited to: gore*, toxic relationships, various forms of horror, violence, drug abuse, etc. There’s also the occasional eyestrainy post. Basically, I like to explore angst through my art and lore. I am not my characters, they are not me; I do not condone hurting yourself or other people.
*Gore is drawn and not of real life people.
I am a minor, and aroace, so sex isn’t mentioned (and especially not depicted) to any level here. What I choose to depict may change in the future, though. The general takeaway you should have is this:
This blog overall is a 16+ space. If you’re younger than 16, I won’t block you, but tread carefully. If any of you find any of the above topics to be upsetting, I recommend not following my page.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
DNI ➥
I don’t really have a DNI list. Respect me as I’ll respect you and we’ll be chill. That being said, I’m not afraid to use the block button.
I’d prefer people older than 30 or younger than 13 not trying to befriend me. Keep things art related! If I already know you/we’ve been mutuals for a while then don’t stress about this, though, you’re chill!
Also, if you’re pro generative ai, you’ll be blocked immediately.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Other Boundaries ➥
Or, “block conditions” if you will. If you do any of this stuff repetitively or severely I will block you. Also, this applies to you if you aren’t a friend: https://nohello.net/en/
Do not repost my work without my explicit permission. Reblog instead!
As a general rule, don’t use slurs around me. In certain circumstances I’m chill with it, but don’t push the envelope. (I use “queer” and sometimes “crippled” to describe myself, but don’t refer to me with those terms unless you’re lgbtq+ or disabled, respectively.)
Don’t draw porn of my characters or sona. Don’t send me porn, either. I will block (and possibly report) you.
Don’t draw gore of my sona and don’t send me real life/nonfictional gore.
Don’t ask me invasive questions.
Don’t vent in asks or dms unless I explicitly said you can. I understand needing help and seeking out support, but you don’t know me and I don’t know you. There are better resources to seek out than a random teenager on tumblr. /lh
I’d like to think all of this goes without saying, but yanno. It’s the internet.

『 About The Blogger! 』
Soo, what’s this page and who’s the person running it?
Hi! I’m Casey, an artist and worldbuilder with a love for dark fantasy and sci-fi settings. I primarily draw digitally using the program Procreate on my Ipad. In the future, I also want to branch out into programs like Live2D, Aseprite, and Blender. Perhaps I’ll even learn to code for visual novels and other games based on the stories floating around in my head. I dunno. I’m a mixed bag, really, both stylistically and in what I like to depict.
I’m disabled and neurodivergent (AuDHD). I deal with a lot of chronic fatigue and pain in my day to day so my post frequency is very sporadic.
I’m also queer. Aroace, agender, transmasc. I primarily use he/him but don’t really care about pronouns; just don’t use she/her on me.

I post random shit on this account. Lots of art, but really whatever I feel like posting. It’s called “Casey’s Mystery Grab Bag” for a reason!
『 Other Info! 』
In the format of a q&a just because it’s fun.
“Who’s that one vampire(?) oc I see so frequently on this page?”
Francis! They use they/them pronouns exclusively and are a main character in one of my storylines, “Cecie’s Lament”. For more about Francis, check out their Toyhouse page!
“What’s your commission/art trade/art collab status?”
My commissions are closed.
Art trades are open (dm me if you’re interested)!
Art collabs are open to friends and mutuals.
If my status changes, I’ll update this post alongside announcing the status change.
“Who are the people whose names are bracketed?”
Those are whichever characters are being featured in a given post! Most are mine but some aren’t; the ones who belong to others are hyperlinked.
and so it begins. random tumblr posts pinterest put in my feed but as my ocs.
