I’m so sorry you’re going through this pooks, even if you can’t take a break, take some time to yourself, just to know nothings rushing you. Ik how it feels to have art burnout, and school stress, (in fact I’m actually moving schools for the 2nd time, and I hate being the new student..) rushing art will only make it worse and frustrating. We are all with you. Love ya pooks. <3

Hey pencil. Just take things slow. Forcing yourself to make art will make it worse. It just isn't worth it. Take your time, make dragons when you can (mentally as well). School will turn out alright. I know it's hard. Trust me. I stress over school every single day. I've been on the verge of breaking. But it will become easier. You got this❤❤❤❤

It's okay 💜 everyone has their own things and or problems! So take a breather for a few minutes or as long as you need to, just lay down for a bit and take care of school, exams, homework, etc! I hope you may get better and not be so exhausted 💜 stay safe !

Pencil, I’m sure nobody is mad at you for this. All of this is extremely normal for everyone. If someone doesn’t understand, then idk who they are. If your mental health isn’t doing well- do things that make you happy. The matchings can wait, and nobody should be mad at you for this. Everyone goes through this at some point in their life- and we all need to understand it. If you feel the urge to complete all of the matchings n stuff- do it at your own pace. If you get them all done- please please please at least try to take a break. You need it. Ik you can’t take a break now, but by all means, try when you get the chance. Ilysm /p pooks. You’ll eventually get things done <3

First of all YOU ARE NOT A STUPID OR BAD PERSON IN ANY WAY!!! YOU ARENT LAZY, OR IMMATURE!!! I can’t stand when you call yourself these things because you aren’t!!!!!!! I can feel like they are true, but I know well, they aren’t!!! I am genuinely scared for you Pencil, and I don’t know how to help and you’re always like, “I fine,” and I KNOW when you’re not fine! I am a VERY observant person, and little slips past me. The only reason I keep quiet is because you keep denying that something is wrong, so out of respect I didn’t say or do anything. I feel so extremely bad for you, and it scares me of when show signs of stress. (The signs aren’t very obvious btw, but they keep getting more obvious) You need to go to the root of what is making you stressed that you can control. I think you need to reflect and honestly stop making matches for a while because you can’t keep adding more matches to your work load. If you don’t have time, energy, or motivation it’s fine, I think everyone you are doing the matches with cares about YOU and your mental health WAY MORE then any matching dragon ever! YOU are trying your hardest, and with school it’s easy to feel trapped and stressed out beyond belief because it happens to all of us! It is normal to eat, sleep, school, scroll repeat, I do it A TON trust me! It’s fine that you aren’t posting as much as you want to, your fans still appreciate you and YOUR LOVED!!!! Everyone wants you to heal, and if you don’t post as much that shouldn’t matter because WE are worried about YOU not your videos!!! And don’t you dare be ashamed of yourself, you are a gorgeous, talented, smart, strong, resilient, etc, person!!!!! Even if you don’t believe it you ARE!!!!! We love you (platonically) so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much!!! We understand that things get hard and sometimes you must sacrifice things to get better! ❤️🩹 I am always here for you and same with all of your other amazing friends!!!! If you need someone to talk to, ask us!!!! You’re trying so hard and that is SO honorable!!!! I recommend trying to find things to help you! Reach out to people you trust! Don’t feel pressured to making the matchings they care about you more! We are here to help you get your motivation, etc back! WITH INFINITE LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️ Sorry that this is so long omg 😭 Also sorry for being brutally honest

This is honestly exactly how ive been feeling too, i just have no idea what to do with myself if i do art, so i force myself to keep trying it. Don't be afraid to take a break pooks, because you are much more important than the social media facade. 🫶

dude its totally okay. feel free to take a break , and you do not need to apologise, if you feel like you have too many matchings , you can depart from the zelda one if needed. i know school can take a really big toll on someone’s mental health, and its a totally understandable feeling. dont be afraid to take a break ❤️🩹

Not gonna lie, when I was reading this post I feel like we both are experiencing the same things. When I look at my desk I absolutely want to burn it. Art has been so frustrating right now, and so has school. I’m not behind on anything in school, but more about friendships and just having to wake up and realizing I’m still here, and I still have to struggle through what I’ve done to myself. We’ll all get through whatever is happening to us, we just have to stay positive even if it’s hard 🫶🏻

PencilPal
(Kinda a vent)
I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting lately. Last time I made a new dragon was a month ago, a crazy commission, and I have two past due matching dragons to finish that are just laying on my desk. I have been so so stressed out lately it’s not even funny. Lowk feeling like I can’t even think about art. I wake up everyday to be my desk FILLED with crumbled paper, broken puppets, and markers everywhere. Idk if I’m just experiencing insane burnout, or if I’m just genuinely not ok.
School.. don’t even get me started. SCHOOL. do I even have to explain? It’s killing me, draining me, just absolutely suffocating me. I come back from school exhausted, literally everyday I’m exhausted. I’ve been just eating, scrolling, sleeping, forced to go to school, and repeating. Idk what I’m experiencing but it’s not normal? I haven’t picked up a pencil in idk how long. Although I know I’m not going through art block because it’s not only art that’s stressing me out.
HUGE apologies to @Eclipse_arts-x and @PuppetryX for not finishing my matching, I will get to it one day. I have about 9 or 10 matchings to plan out/finish.. including # ways..
I need to figure out my life and start to learn how to not be stupid, lazy, and immature. I’m so sorry for being stupid and not doing the things I need to do, I just thought It would be fine if I chilled down a bit bc I was exhausted, but not look where I ended up.. work, and work, and work. I’m not even behind on schoolwork, but I’m behind on yt, on the very own community I’m in. I’m ashamed of myself.
Before any of you guys say “take a break” I actually cannot.. I have so many things planned out for oct (3 year anniversary, Halloween dragon, puppet present for bsf, puppet present for mother, and 2k dragon.) so yea I’m gonna be even MORE busy heheh..
Again I’m so sorry.. i really really am.. there’s way more things that are effecting this situation as-well but they’re extremely personal. I love you guys, have a pencil day.
