Prismas are expensive but I really like them. For pens, I use either ballpoint or .05 & .005 pens. I like microns, but you can find cheaper :-) If you like pencils, I'd try a prismacolor ebony pencil

if you aren’t using wet media (like watercolor), i think basically any sketchbook will work perfectly fine for you. like vashti, i really like sakura microns, but ballpoint pens are more universally useful, i think (and much, much cheaper), and come in multiple colors.

if you did want to try watercolor, though, it is a lot of fun for doodling and my favorite medium! the canson mixed media pads are cheap and work well enough and you can pick up a cheap set of watercolor pans pretty much anywhere. if you don’t care about lightfastness or potentially chalky paints, any set you get should be fine. whatever you end up doing, hope you enjoy doodling! ^^

In all seriousness I'm glad that you managed to make your Thanksgiving day okay in the end. I'm going to have to perform the whole happy family thing tomorrow. I'm sorry that you felt sick though. Nausea is one of the worst feelings in the world to me, because it's also an anxiety thing for me. It seems like you're more in control lately though, sorry if that's weird to say? I just admire your fortitude.

I'm trying to catch up on media too, lots of manga & video games. I think part of it is that I want to avoid school stuff lol.

(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) oh jeez admiration. thank you tho! i don't know exactly why i got this control and motivation, determination? but the momentum is certainly welcome. nausea does suck and it used to be one of my worst fears and they'd spiral together, but after going thru it A LOT this year i sorta realized i was worried about other triggers related to being sick/burdensome than i was about the actual thing.

Happy to hear that things seem to be on the upswing for you. I think you should go swing at the park! It's one of my favorite things to do, except I really busted my ass on it a while ago & am too scared to really swing again (lol). It's cool that you got to talk about your site with someone! I spend so much of my time here, but talk about it with no one really. It sounds weird, but good, to merge your digital & in

tysm vashti!! idk about you but even sitting on a swing and swaying side to side is relaxing if i don't wanna swing fr. i def know what you mean about merging online and irl, it's easier to be genuine online, so flexing it into irl is like an exercise in sincerity. i hope you find the time and person to open up to about your site!
