This Is Vent Art I Made When I Wanted To Hurt Myself, So That I Wouldn't. If You Struggle With These

This is vent art I made when I wanted to hurt myself, so that I wouldn't. If you struggle with these types of urges, there are many other ways to cope, and the damage self harm can bring to you physically and mentally is not worth the temporary relief. Even if you don't cut, but hurt yourself in other ways, it's still damaging long term. Everyone is different, but I would recommend creating something, no matter what it is, or whether or not you're good at it. Self-expression is important, and sometimes it's not always safe or easy to express yourself to others. Writing, poetry, drawing, acting, singing, dancing, heck even lip-syncing to a song you relate to in the mirror, is helpful. Find some way to get the emotion out, and remember that your emotions are valid, and that it's not your fault. ❤️❤️❤️

A character I made for a short story I had to write. He rescued kids from abusive homes, but his rage at the parents turned to murder.

Nice to meet you ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧ I am an artist, and I've made a lot of art this year. I wanted to start posting it online, so here we go :)

This is another old oc drawing from the same story as Meg, Kiki, and Cherry. His name is Lavender. He is Cherry's boyfriend, and partner in crime. Cherry's crimes aren't that bad compared to Lavender's, and Cherry is mainly guilty by association. I don't really like this story anymore, and I want to rewrite it at some point. I feel like it's a fine line to walk between making a character likeable, but unsympathetic, yet still redeemable, which is what I was trying to do with Lavender. I feel like I failed at this.

This is Maryanne, an old oc in the same universe as all the others. She is Rorna's lover, and an adventurous dancer. I want to rewrite her as a Kleptomaniac with OCD and ADHD, (since kleptomania is often paired with those disorders,) but it's harder to find communities of actual people with the disorder because 1. People with kleptomania usually won't confess to it, and feel extremely guilty about it, and are afraid of going to prison, 2. Many people romanticize the disorder, and these posts are in abundance, and 3. Shoplifters will pose as people with kleptomania, even though shoplifting is voluntary, kleptomania is not. I will do more research, and hopefully, I'll be able to portray the disorder accurately.

An old OC from the same story as Kiki. His name is Cherry. He is a gay criminal, who sells alcohol (alcohol is illegal in this universe.)
