ah you're totally right with the glow, that would have been just what it needed, i think. thank you!
the eye being open is something i genuinely never see depicted in fanart even though its so evocative! i forgot it had one too, i was actually gonna draw it anyway but when i was searching for references, i was looking at the fold of skin and realised it would be really cool; maybe i could have done something cooler with it had i planned for it earlier. there are a bunch of weird quirks with some pokemon that are very little known! the weezing fact i didnt know and that is pretty freaky to me hahaha

i know very well what internet fatigue is like; in the age of the internet where most people have adopted a small few outlets of information, entertainment and fulfilment, it's no surprise that many people are disenchanted by the magic of the post-independent digital era - there are dopamine traps to avoid everywhere, and the culture that has been created is definitely emblematic of that. being young enough to only be able to chase the tail-end of the forum times, the difference between the culture then and now is beyond drastic, and i find myself missing all the opportunities and good times that had been presented then (even if i was never there!), as opposed to the monoculture of social media.

but, still, i really really like what thunders said here, it's very astute..... and true too! the residual sense of community, the way you can express who you are freely and find others that do the same, it's all here and i'll be a part of it for as long as i can see into the future (which, granted, isn't that far...) and it's totally true that there's a lot more to discover and connect with people over, and it's really cute to be in it. i'm here because i stumbled upon the name rater too and i thought it was funny

anyway, it's true that i feel internet fatigued sometimes, it's natural, but the way out of it should be simple in theory!... find the things you enjoy, and make it your own. allowing algorithms and bad habits run free for you (especially as someone with adhd) is hard to recognise sometimes, but i'd be hard-pressed to ever find places like this uninteresting!! i hope to see some of your replies on this :>

hello! earlier this year, when i was thinking of something to create for my monthly artwork challenge i have going on this year, i had the perfect pokemon to fit a design i had in mind, and i think it turned out pretty nicely; jirachi is one of my favourite pokemon, and i seldom stumble across depictions of it with its eye open, so i thought that would be really nice :)

the image is designed to emphasize the eye, but i made an alt with prettier colours too! i hope you guys like it, however many of you may see it!

i really like this!! super cute hands are impossible so i dont blame you haha
