I managed to stop panic before it turned into a panic attack just now!!!! I got scared by something but I stood with my back against a wall and focused on my breathing and managed to calm down!!!

Good job! That's really impressive, I'm proud of you! <3

One of my older brothers usually wears a black ring on his right middle finger and??? Idk I'm probably reading into it too much but still?

Does a black ring on the right middle finger mean something??

It's a symbol for asexuality

it usually signifies that the person wearing the ring is some kind of part of the LGBT community.

I lost mine :(
it was a size too big but it was black with dragon scales all over it and sturdy enough to wear while working

Mine used to be black, but it was from wish so the paint chipped off making it bronze 😒

I got one of those hematite rings and it does the job pretty well.
I assume it's appropriate to wear one if you're ace spec in general?
Bc I kinda bought mine on a whim while getting crystals and then I realized "lol ace ring" when I put it on.
But I am demisexual, or at least somewhere on the ace spectrum so

I dont own any rings lol

I really want an ace ring, but I'm totally broke after I spent all my money on copic markers-

I made one of my friends a sort-of-ace-ring.
I was practicing making wire wrapped rings and I made him one with a black piece of smoky quartz and with some small chips of green aventurine

That sounds beautiful! I love crystals and gems (not because of the spiritual and healing side of them, I'm not really into all that). I just think they're so pretty, and that ring sounds awesome!

Oh no! Don't buy Copic, they're way too expensive cause they have a craft store monopoly.
Ohuhu is an "off-brand" that makes very nice markers in fine, brush, and chisel tips (usually double combinations of those three) in a good amount of colors. A 40 set is $30 i think? I genuinely like them better, you just have to order them from their site or from amazon.

Oh, nice one! Good to know for future reference, especially given the amount I use markers like those. Thanks, Kat!

Ohuhu does have really nice markers, from what I've seen. If I was still doing a lot of traditional art, I'd totally use them

np! always good to save more art money lol

Greetings, homos and Homo sapiens! I know that queer people, myself included, have a fondness for reptiles and amphibians? As well as odd but oddly cute critters? Well, today is expo day at the (redacted) Reptile Expo and I'm driving all the way vaguely sideways from (redacted) to experience some beautiful things. I can't take photographs because I forgot to charge up my camera, but! I hear they will have sugar gliders in that particular locale, and I will readily interview the sellers for all exotic pet related questions you may have.

Oh, they will also have axolotls. For those who have those as their special interest, I see you.

What kind of dog is that

I think it's a hamster

Ahhhhhh my partner and I might get to go to a Renaissance fair next weekend

What the fuck do I wear???? It's really last minute. Also it's pirate weekend so either you can follow the theme or go traditional ren fair
