Cringetober: Its a Lifestyle!!!!
October 7th, 2024 at 1:33 PM CET
This summer was sort of a difficult time for me. I did enjoy it still, but I was not completely okay. Throughout the past week, my mental health finally fully stabilized again. I have a lot of inspiration again, not just for art, but for living in general, I guess. To be honest, its kinda the same thing for me. I live through art. Not necessarily just through making it, my mind is basically a cartoon universe. The art I make is just a reflection of what is in my mind. When I am inspired to make art, I am inspired to live. Sometimes I dont even use that energy to actually make something, and I experience it fully just in my mind. It is just as valuable for me.
So anyways, it is Cringetober. AKA October, the month of drawing challenges, apparently. I found out about Cringetober last year, when my friend Hal reblogged the 2023 prompt list on Tumblr. I did the entire challenge, it was so fun. I am only doing a few of the prompts this year, but I am also participating in a different way. Everything Cringetober stands for is basically a lifestyle for me. Its basically about enabling myself to express myself in the way I used to when I was a kid, or in other words, using nostalgia as inspiration. Drawing weird cartoon animals and then imagining them in the real world, my own worlds, or making up AMVs with them to whatever song I was listening to. I still do that every day. Its a lifestyle, duh!!!!
Current mood: Excited!!!! XD
