THIS! THIS IS ME!! Even if it's just me loving my OCs I love them so goddamn much. I have made so much progress and come so far and I'm proud of me for that. I'm just here to draw cause I love it.
@tricksytrixiee
I also wanna throw out there on Blitz's side he went into the episode from a place of fear at the start. Luna's half comment of 'being bored and getting rid of you' put him in such a fuss he decided to go out to get things to prevent it. <continued>

Hey guys! Let's do an
#artshare
but here's the catch
you can only share ONE piece of work
no ns/fw a/i or nf/ts
and if you're under 500 followers I'll share your 1 piece to my page but you gotta comment on someone else's work too! We gotta support each other!!
Sure let's play again
Just know I'm a harsh critic and getting a 10 out of me is damn near impossible. Tell me something about your OCs, don't just post them!
@tricksytrixiee
blitz didnt have to spend the money he did, and he doesnt really have the money to SPEND but he did it anyway because he was scared their relationship was dissolving so he was trying to prevent this from happening in the first place Blitz was already entering from a place of fear
@tricksytrixiee
and then being given that crystal he says "he can do better" and he tries to plead his case before the yelling ever started. I'm not saying yelling was the right choice here i'm just saying he was already emotionally flooded before he ever got there
@tricksytrixiee
and being given the crystal was like his worst fears being realized like luna said at the beginning of the episode and 'he really is trying to get rid of me' so in turn he exploded once he realized what was going on. the whole beginning of the episode was blitz acting out of fear
" You draw fan art too much"
"no one cares about your OCs."
"Anime isn't real art." <- that was my HS art teacher
"drawing with references is 'cheating'."
so i mean damn guys I just wanna draw the things I love and like have fun and shit
@tricksytrixiee
when stolas gave him the crystal he tried to plead his case and say 'i can do better' because he was trying to say 'i dont need this i need you' but he's too emotionally traumatized to say that. Having those feelings be real on stolas' side was terrifying for blitz.
@tricksytrixiee
and also the thing to think about here is love languages and not everyone expresses them the same. Stolas very obviously needed words of affirmation from Blitz and Blitz was functioning in gifts and acts of service. so they clashed. < /c >
@tricksytrixiee
I'm not saying he's right here or defending his actions, it's just more pieces of the puzzle. He doesn't KNOW how to have those emotionally heavy conversations because he never has them. So when he gets hit with what feels like blindsiding to him, he explodes.
@tricksytrixiee
both of them displayed massive trauma this episode and both of them handled things on the poor side as mirrored reflections of the extreme reactions to abuse. Blitz explodes, Stolas shuts down and isolates. Neither is healthy in ways to handle things
@tricksytrixiee
if he hadnt been scared when he walked into that room at the START he MIGHT have been able to talk about it a little better, (MIGHT) but he was already terrified because of Luna's comment at the beginning so they were doomed to fail before it started.
@tricksytrixiee
blitz isnt a mind reader and this "i've heard all i need" bullshit is him basically testing blitz to see if he'll say the words he wants to hear and when blitz DIDNT he shut down. - also a symptom of trauma. Neither one of them handled this in a healthy way AT ALL
@tricksytrixiee
Blitz saying 'LET'S GO' was him saying he was ready to scream this out until they both got everything off their chests in the nitty gritty dirty nasty ugly details and he wasnt going to leave until they did. He was ready to answer WHY but stolas shut down. 🫠
@tricksytrixiee
Stolas really should have started this entire thing being as blunt but gentle as possible "blitz i want to discuss the status of our relationship." / "I am being serious right now and I care for you deeply, so I think we need to have this discussion."
@tricksytrixiee
but with trauma like his Ex, he couldnt figure out how to start the conversation in a productive way & instead lead to testing him with lead to blitz feeling manipulated & then stolas didnt get the answer he wanted so he just tossed him out instead of asking why he felt that way
@tricksytrixiee
no one ever asks WHY people feel the way they do. no one ever asks WHY they would think the things they do. I understand why Stolas felt hurt. I do. I'm divorced and DAMN we fought. It's the WHY question that saves him. Blitz was angry so ask him WHY he feels like that
@tricksytrixiee
and really if you wanna look at stolas' part - that was fucking shitty. he's had the course of a couple seasons to decide what he wanted to do about blitz and to keep not getting the returned affection he wants without bluntly being open about his own emotions.
the thing I tell my bestie all the time is "people don't draw better than you; they draw different from you" because art styles are a real thing & art styles are all special & valuable in their own ways; feel okay to make bad things. It's how we learn. skill comes with practice.
Comparing yourself to other artists isn't going to get you anywhere. The "they're so much better than me" game is only going to hurt you in the long run. They aren't better, they're more practiced & have more experienced. There are no short cuts in art. So make bad art. It's okay

Alright guys, come to me peeps with open commissions. I need more art of my cloud son and I feel like commissioning someone so show me examples of your work and your prices. If you have a site like artistree or vgen all the better. Gimme them links please.
@tricksytrixiee
So blitz in that moment does whatever it takes to get BIGGER and that's to increase Volume because the only thing he can make big is his VOICE and that will take up presence and command attention. He was scared and masking it with VOLUME. That was how he handles his trauma.
@tricksytrixiee
And honestly if you wanna key in on lines blitz saying "because we're smaller and less important" speaks VOLUMES because there are social politics at play in hell that the viewer doesn't think about in the moment. Imps are in a less considered "lower beings" and stoles is royal
@tricksytrixiee
The saying "don't break yourself down into bite size pieces for other people. Stay whole and let them choke." That is them in one sentence. Stolas breaks himself down without hesitation and blitz is absolutely "let them choke" on his rage or what not. That's how he copes.
@tricksytrixiee
And stolas who actually is physically larger and socially too as a royal does the only thing he's been made to do his whole life and made himself quieter and smaller because it's how he handles things.
I got the most wonderful picture from
@kuraedo
of Kukka on Art Fight and its so lovely and just prefect and it's Kukka's birthday today too!! Happy Birthday Art Boy!!!
I'll go first! I'm Kira! I draw my muses and my OCs constantly and I'm writing a very thick amount of lore for them. I do digital and traditional animation and I draw Clouds a lot. ☁️👑
Hey guys! I am trying to get art approval for

Guys please remember that if you're struggling with something that's okay. It's okay to put it down for a while and come back once you've had a chance to decompress and reevaluate. Sometimes stepping away for a moment is healthier than trying to push through.
Hey guys I'll get back to things for a minute but I need to ramble for a sec. I'm home from
