October Monthly 2024

 WHOOPS, this is accidentally late by like 2 hours but whatever. Sorry about that. It completely slipped my mind that the monthly post was, well on the last day of the month.

This will definitely be a more tired monthly post because it's 1:21 AM as I write this. But we keep moving anyway.

This month (last week I think actually) I got the ball rolling a bit for going to community college in January. I made an appointment with my advisor I'll be going to via phone in 7 days. Hopefully I can actually manage to get classes and not just fail horribly with my plans like I usually do.

I participated in most of Goretober (the xxanemia version specifically) this month, however I gave up after the 21st due to burnout, surprise surprise. It was also a little taxing on my mental health to draw gore every other day (I opted to draw non-gore things for some prompts as you'll see later on in this post).

I concocted a LOT of AUs this month, but most notably my Infinity Train x Homestuck crossover, which I've been planning out and will begin to write the first chapter of soon. I'm excited.

Honestly guys, at this point in time I'm so depressed about not having a job or going to school like everybody else I know that I just straight up don't care anymore. It's just like, yeah, meh, whatever. I may be bumbling around but at least I do something fulfilling with my abundance of free time. But a downside is the days blur together, when I wake up and go to sleep doesn't matter, and I don't really talk to anybody since they're usually busy with work and/or school. Besides my mom, who is practically just as unemployed as I am at this point.

I've been especially obsessed and yearning over somebody (the same somebody I've mentioned in the last 2 monthly posts I think) this month as well, but it's so dumb because I constantly remind myself they don't like me back or at least don't think of me nearly as often as I think of them, so there would be 0 point to asking them out. Unfortunately, they are pretty much all I think about, besides JohnDave and moving out. I've been juggling the idea of asking them out but I just know I would only be added to their long roster of people they've rejected. So, that is fate. To be rejected. Again. But it's okay.

I began and finished watching Infinity Train, twice, this month. Seriously, SUCH A GOOD SHOW. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't (or even has, lol) watched it. It does cut off early on though due to being cancelled but it's still a good watch, you can kinda imagine what happens after, like an open interpretation. Here's a very legal link to it if you wanna watch it (opens up a Google drive full of the episodes, nothing malicious). It has such a unique and thrilling story and premise that has inspired me to make my own crossover -- that I'm sure has already been done -- Trainstuck. Basically, the beta kids of Homestuck get on the train and bond with each other. It will be a lot more interesting to read compared to how poorly I hyped it up, trust.

Also random but I got a very brief eye infection for like a week in the beginning of the month? That made it a little difficult to draw, as it was inflamed and itchy and generally hard to see out of. It's over now, nothing bad happened after, but it still confuses me how it appeared in the first place.

Now, for your favorite (probably) section:

Monthly favorite song:

CODE MISTAKE - Corpse, Bring Me The Horizon

Honorable mentions:

Drown - Get Scared, Callback Ping - AxisRogue, The Question is What Is The Question? - Scooter

This song sticks hard with me, especially the second verse and the bridge:

They say they wanna help, but they always fucking leave

Leave me by myself, leave me, DND

Leave me in the dark, leave me with these things

Tell me that you love me, I know all your talk is cheap

Baby, I'm a code mistake, I was never meant to be

 It hits so close to home for me because in a lot of situations, literal and figurative, I've been left by myself or with more unfavorable things/feelings. For example, I am usually the last person to leave in calls with my friends because I stay up so late. I've also been let down on multiple occasions with multiple problems and issues I face, with little to no help received so I fall flat on my face hurting even more than I did previously. With the 4th line "Tell me that you love me I know all your talk is cheap", lately with the 'somebody' I've been pining for has been turbulent because they are a little flirty even when they don't mean to be, but it more often than not leads me on. They are very sweet, but this comes at the cost of me knowing that it isn't necessarily a telltale sign of my feelings being reciprocated. And finally, the last line "Baby I'm a code mistake I was never meant to be", like a lot of people, I was not meant to exist and an unplanned pregnancy. As well as dealing with multiple untreated and undiagnosed mental illnesses with affect me in various and confusing ways, thus 'code mistake'.


WARNING FOR THE FOLLOWING IMAGERY:

My next art pieces shown will contain:

Blood, visible organs, cannibalism, spilling guts, slight eye trauma, dead bodies, 1 singular semi-realistic gun, 1 singular cigarette, self-harm, general creepy imagery, suicidal themes, and trypophobia.

DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE VIEWING THESE.






This month's drawings:

(10/1)

Day 1 - Cannibalism

Fun little AU thing, dogtier John! Rest in peace, Dave. For a lot of these drawings, I made Dave the punching bag for some reason, haha.

(10/2)

I found out that sonas of the beta/alpha kids exist, and thus made a Davesona (a fox/crow hybrid guy), and my crush into just an alternate John, I guess. I love my Davesona a lot.

Day 2 - Sharp Objects

Whoops! Dave lost the Strife against his Bro. Try again next time.

(10/3)


Day 3 - Asphyxiation

(10/4)


(Goretober for today won't be shown, because I don't like it.)

(10/5)


Day 5 - Amputation

(10/6)


Day 6 - Bugs

Decided to do something cute and less horrible to look at, thus cute JohnDave. In this AU, they go to school together!

(10/7)



Day 7 - Accident

TT: Jake? Are you there?

(10/8)


Day 8 - Beaten/Bruised

(10/9)


Day 9 - Torture

Interesting backstory for this one, I knew that most people would just draw someone tied up and being stabbed to death or something, so I went on Wikipedia and found a whole slew of different torture methods. I thought a 'mock execution' would fit well with a Grimdark John and Dave gunplay situation. In this scenario, John is holding an intentionally unloaded gun to scare Dave into thinking he's going to die. Where he got the gun from, I don't know. Scary.


(10/10)

Day 10 - Masochist

(Goretober for today won't be shown, because I don't like it.)

(10/11)


Another cool Davesona piece. I had those Hussnasty-style panels in mind when I drew this one. It was a lot of fun too!


Day 11 - Slasher

Some good ol' DirkJake to take a break from the usual JohnDave I draw.

(10/12)


Day 12 - Burns

A different take I thought of for this one. An AU in which John is miserable and smokes cigs, burning one on his hand to feel something. Or to quote myself, "john hasn't gotten enough suffering this month yet :)"

 (10/13)


Day 13 - Sliced

More Grimdark John!!

(10/14)


I was dealing with some rough suicidal ideation at the time, and thought it would be more productive to make a drawing out of it than dwell on it and spiral out of control. Please don't call the psych ward on me.


Day 14 - Eyes

I was getting burnt out at this point.

(10/15)


Day 15 - Self Inflicted

Ah yes, the classic Dirkapitation.

(10/16)


let's stay here where we never grow up


Day 16 - Decomposition

I was very tired and sluggish today.

(10/17)

(Goretober for today won't be shown, because I don't like it. It's also really stupid.)

(10/18)


Day 18 - Candy Gore

Probably one of my favorite drawings of the month.

(10/19)


Day 19 - Bones

Another very innocent Goretober, as I was very burnt out by this point and tired of drawing gore. I think Dave hyperfixating over crows and John finding it hot is funny.

(10/20)


Day 20 - Impaled

(10/21)


Day 21 - Holes

This is the last drawing before I give up on Goretober. The prompts after this were not interesting anyways.

(10/24)


This is a VERY SPECIFIC drawing of my Davesona and my crush (alternate John) at a specific location at night. This has not happened in real life, but it could. It's also pretty to look at in general.

(10/26)


Trainstuck! Infinite Home!!

(10/29)


More Trainstuck.

(10/31)


I tried and successfully replicated a 2012-type style with this one. So cute!


I was originally going to include text with this one that directly referenced things that this crush of mine has said or done but decided against it on the off chance they see this drawing. They probably won't, though. This is the last drawing of the month, but it includes my year-long conflicting feelings of sadness, confusion, and obsession, except with my Davesona and alternate John, because I don't draw just myself anymore for some reason.

And that's all, folks! Hope you were blown away by the amount of drawings I did this month compared to last month, lmao. Thank you for reading, dear reader(s).
