Some poetry, for no reason

I write poetry sometimes, and a friend suggested I should share them with you. When I was younger I wrote poetry sometimes, thinking maybe I'll become a poet and have them published one way or another. It was before I met my Blue, and the love letters that I wrote became comics with foxes in them.

Baby habits

Based on a real conversation - this is something my boyfriend truly did as a baby. He was his parents’ first, and I still think about the mental image that his mother has once left the room to get something, come back to find that the baby has disappeared, only to find that he has scooted up under the cupboard again.

Atmosphere

He’d also play backround music from videogames, of scenes where everyone sits in front of a fireplace.

Storytelling

I tell people about my dreams a lot.

A Big Thank You

I'm currently still enrolled and attending school #6 (art restoration), and I'm currently trying to get tested for adult ADHD, in case it would be the explanation for why I have such a hard time with normal everyday things, and regardless of the results, I'm looking into career counselling to see if there would be a job that is a better fit for me.

 I've needed help all my life, I'm not sure if I've ever managed to do anything 100% on my own. But with help and support from others, ...

The eye crust

The finnish language has a separate, specific word for the crumbs that appear at the corner of your eye, that doesn’t mean anything else and can’t be mistaken for anything else, it’s rähmä. The english words for it vary a lot and 50% of them are really cute and 50% are pretty gross.

Emotional support

Blue doesn’t like any kind of appointments, and often figures I must feel the same way.

On a Quest

Based almost exactly on an actual conversation we have had. Blue has lived in the city for 22 years and is just as unfamiliar with the street addresses there as I am.

The weird things at home

Hot dogs in tortillas. Not even chopped up or anything, whole microwaved hot dogs, and nothing else.

Traits

I’ve only recently realised how difficult my comic probably is to colourblind people, but I don’t know how to make it more accessible without breaking the aesthetic.

Problems

Almost all of the incidents of the comics are not only things that have happened, but sometimes re-occurring things that have happened more than once. Sometimes we’ll send each other a fox comic when we find ourselves talking about something I’ve already drawn about.

Cuddles

This is not only based on a true story, it happens consistently almost every night.

A Yellow Yeen In Aquamarine Yeets A Tangerine

Unrelated to foxes, but I haven't gotten much done recently save for this quick sketch, and a friend suggested I should share it here too.

The Inevitable

Based so much on a true story that I drew this with a bandaid on, and still have the cut.

Love is not a feeling

I'm trying to bet back to properly drawing comics again (other than foxes, that is). For the life of me I can't draw the same character looking the same in two different frames, but I try, and figured I'd share here.

Dentist

Based on a true story. He asked me to drive him to the dentist’s because he is going to have some work done, and he’s so terrified of dentists they’ll have to drug him for the operation.

The operation was early in the morning, so we had to leave earlier, and originally we meant to get me a cup of coffee along the way, but forgot.

At the first sight of me after the operation, his face lit up with the slowest smile I’ve ever seen - it was like watching the sun ris...
