badbastion | different fandoms and compartmentalizing

Hello friends!

I really have been absent a lot, and it's always art block and/or depression (usually both) that kind of shuts me down. I'm feeling a little better these days (got off a medication that it turns out was actually depressing my system, instead of the way it was supposed to work, lol) and I've been trying to get back into the swing of drawing.

I'm also feeling drawn to some of my old fandoms, and some new stuff I've been reading and watching, and when I made this account, i did it to kind of compartmentalize my fandom life. Before SPN, I was primarily into anime/manga/illustrated fandoms for years, and that's what I feel myself gravitating towards right this minute. That, and OCs, which feel like fit better in that category. So I'll be spending some time at my old account. I'm not abandoning SPN at all! We're just kind of seeing other people, haha. I've also been watching Teen Wofl, so who knows if there will be TW fan stuff happening at this account.

If you're interested in following my other stuff, I'm at

imlikat on LJ, imlikat on tumblr, and imlikat on y!gallery (you have to have a y!gallery account to access that last one.) So the plan is that I'll be around here, I'll be around there, and I hope to be more in contact with my friends at both accounts :)

Sorry to hear about the depression in general, but especially that a med went south on ya. :-( That always sucks! "I'm going to feel better - wait, no I'm not!" I hope you DO feel better once those remnants have departed, and if you're trying another one, that it works much better!!

Something about my brain chemistry or something, a lot of times medication has the opposite effect on me than it's supposed to. I am starting to feel better, a little every day :) Thank you!

!! I was so worried because you weren't updating for like a month and I almost started to panic. Good to hear you're all right, relatively speaking, and thank you for the links.

I'm okay! :) I'm starting to do better now, thank you :)

I'm so glad to see you back round hun :) We all have those days/weeks/months where we're either not in the remotest sociable mood or we just need down time for our brain's to catch up with our hearts and souls.

*Hugs* Glad you're feeling a little better babes :)

Thank you :) Yeah, I get in that mood every now and then, and it's such a bummer. It's like, when I need to chat with people the most, that's when I can't bring myself to push out of my shell.

Well as you know I already follow imlikat and I saw your identical post there..

I'm sorry that the depression has been hitting you so hard and sometimes as you well know, it takes several tries at medications to get it right. Hugs and you know of course that I am always thinking of you. When you don't show up for a while I do worry but try to give you a little space so you don't feel like I'm crowding you at all. Friends, that is what they're for ya know.. love and understanding the space issue. <3

I look forward to chatting with you about Teen Wolf once you are up to speed.

Just don't abandon SPN cause you know, Your art inspires and is totally some of the best around.

I'm not abandoning SPN :) I feel like my SPN art has gotten a little stale though, and sometimes doing different stuff can revitalize me in the art department.

I wouldn't feel like you were crowding me. I wouldn't feel like you were abandoning me or anything, either, if you didn't get in touch with me when i did my vanishing acts. It just happens, and I get past it after a while once I'm back on the upswing :)

Thank you! I'm about halfway through S3, so I should be up to speed soon!

I was in the anime/manga fandom like, 5 years ago?In your tags in that journal I saw a lot of interests we share (or used to share) I'm glad you are back. I love your art no matter what fandom you draw :)

I think I remember you saying something like that, about how you used to draw anime stuff :) Thank you! <3

You have been in my thoughts, Sugar. I've missed you and your work. I'm sorry to hear you were having such a crap time, but I'm so glad you seem to be turning the corner. I send lots of hugs and happy porny thoughts your way. <3 <3 <3

Thanks for thinking about me <3 It feels good to be turning the corner, ahhhh. *hugs back*
