------------------------------------------------------------
This month went by a little too fast. Did it seem that way to you?
I know I tend to say that in nearly every blog post, but lately, I’ve heard so many people say the same thing!
We’ve been conditioned to fill up our schedules and stay busy—spending far more time in the “later” than in the “now.” Sometimes we even feel guilty when we do nothing, even though our bodies need—and I mean need—stillness in our lives. Some people need it more than others.
Too many never give themselves that break.
John and I already struggle with this due to internal issues and childhood programming. So for us, “rest”—which means letting go—actually feels like danger. Our nervous systems have been wired for fight-or-flight for as long as we can remember. We may have moments of peace, but they were never consistent enough to feel like a safe place to return to.
This year has been about slowing down, focusing on health and top priorities, learning to say no, and not feeling guilty about taking the time we need to recover.
For those of us living with chronic conditions, this process often takes a very long time.
I wanted to share these memes to offer some perspective from our point of view. Keep in mind, we didn’t create them—but they capture the reality, the struggle, the pain, and the underlying anger of having to keep going without seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Also the level of gaslighting and ableism you tend to encounter!
Please don’t take these as an attack, but rather hear them as the common cries of those who also suffer with chronic conditions:
We are 35 and 28. Yes, a seven-year difference—but extremely young for the amount of physical, mental, and emotional burden we carry daily. We didn’t have a childhood or that freedom. And as adults, we are shackled by the negligence and abuse caused by our caregivers and the adults around us whom we were told to trust.
The impact runs much deeper than you might be able to see… unless you know what to look for. We are going to be writing our stories and sharing our perspectives to give more depth and weight to the chaos that happens 24/7/365 internally—for as long as we have been alive.
I don’t think you can imagine how many medical professionals have overlooked or gaslighted us regarding our medical conditions. Their attitudes change real quick once they see our medical records. I’m still mentally laughing at the ER doctor who was, at first, a huge asshole—to someone with oxygen levels dropping to 70%—and then had to do everything he could to help…because I had just been discharged from that same hospital the day before for the same issue.
The hospital did nothing. I don’t even think they spoke to him after we complained about his dangerous lack of professionalism that could have killed me.
Incidents like this happen all the time. Not only do we hear dismissive comments about chronic conditions from regular people around us, but even medical professionals overstep their bounds in treating those who are suffering. We are still in a long, drawn-out process of getting help—one that started for me in 2014 and for John in 2017. So it may look like we aren’t doing anything for months at a time. That’s because it literally takes months to see a PCP with Medicaid disrupting our insurance, then months to schedule appointments with specialists (we need at least three each), and then another month or so for follow-ups with a PCP. Getting help for our conditions is much harder than just going to the doctor. Not all doctors even understand trauma and its effects on the body!
I am again frustrated at how much harder it is to get help the more severe your conditions are. This isn’t just about me; it highlights a systemic issue that seems overlooked in other areas of healthcare. For example, for cancer, you can have chemotherapy, and you know there is an end to how many treatments you will go through. I’m not saying 100% of situations are the same, but generally, this is what patients can expect because it has been the standard for decades.
I’m not comparing suffering here—I’m pointing out the lack of continuous support for those trapped in their bodies, forced to endure with no end in sight. Each morning brings hope for lighter symptoms. Why can’t chronic sufferers receive the same gentleness and support?
This is another topic I will be contemplating for years. As an advocate for mental health and the impacts of the current medical system, this is extremely important to us. What changes can we make? How can we inspire those with the skills to take action? We can’t physically do much ourselves, but we hope to encourage others who can, and who aren’t limited in the ways we are.
I’m giving a heads-up that we will be winding down as winter approaches. We tend to just stop moving and functioning when it gets cold—think of a wind-up doll that slows down to a stop. Our eyes glaze over as we begin to disconnect from our bodies and our surroundings. To adjust, we have to turn the heat up to at least 76°F to be able to move comfortably in our own home. This adjustment can take up to three hours for us to notice its full impact. The disconnect is so seamless because we’ve had to do this constantly growing up, which also means we lose quite a bit of our days to weeks.
Every year, we work on lessening the impact of this cycle, and it’s been helping. It’s not something we can avoid or completely eliminate—after all, it was an integral part of our survival for over 20 years. All we can hope for is a better cycle next year. Rest and slower pacing in life will help us achieve that.
That said, this isn’t all bad to stay in more! We’ll be home more often, which means more focus on our projects. We’re narrowing down which ones to move forward with, hopefully toward completion. This is also the time to work more on the website and business side of things. It’s either that or socializing, which we focus on during spring and summer. We don’t have the time or energy for both due to our conditions.
Which is exciting because we have so many ideas we are ready to start on and show you! Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the energy and mental capacity to keep going.
------
After the Art Show last month, we were both amazed at how well John’s artwork (well, I guess mine too, kind of) was received by those who heard the story behind it. We are even more encouraged to share our stories and pasts through art—not just the topics, but also the confidence in form and presentation.
Did I mention in the last blog that John won “Most on Theme” out of the three possible awards? It was the top award, since that was the topic of the art show anyway. But I’m so proud of him! He’s really stepped out of his comfort zone and challenged himself to do what scares him in order to share his art and story. He has a way with words that helps explain and encapsulate the meaning of his art. Many people came up to us saying they could relate to our story and that it brought tears to their eyes.
Now I am also getting prepared to share his art! However, keep in mind that we use art as a therapeutic method, so some pieces may have heavy stories and meanings. I will do my best to warn you ahead of time.
For example, John’s art piece that I’ll be sharing here.
Take a quick Sherlock break before you continue.
Ok done with that. You ready?
TW: Suicidal ideations, Self-harm, Abuse, Neglect, (C)PTSD, Substance Abuse, Violence
Scroll to the right if you choose to view. It's a very powerful piece that may make you cry so make sure you know where those tissues are!
Just in case, here is another pic of Sherlock.
Ok, done. Read the following paragraph, then take another look back at the picture if you can.
This piece was based on an original sketch he made about six years ago while in the mental hospital for suicidal thoughts and a prior attempt. During that time, stuck in the hospital, he worked on giving a visual representation of his point of view and his story. He goes more in-depth with this piece, covering the wide range of experiences he has endured—both external threats and internal struggles. Many of the words and phrases are heavy and painfully deep. You can feel the darkness creeping in and the weight increasing the more you read.
For some, it was extremely relatable.
He doesn’t normally work with acrylics, but he tried it with this piece. He plans to work with oil paints in his next piece. He took his time focusing on acrylic techniques to accomplish something he’s never come close to achieving before.
Ok, since that was a little…ok, a LOT heavy, let’s have a quick cat-break tangent!
She is too cute. This was the week she kept stealing John’s chair. This week it’s my chair. Last week it was her cat tower. She picks and chooses which location will be her domain each week, and it’s adorable.
She is also starting to be more demanding when it comes to attention, snuggles, and pets! When we first got her, she was always scared—hiding and shying away from everyone, rarely even meowing or purring. She’s loosening up, but only on her terms.
I’ve started to see taking a nap in the other room as a higher priority. She waits and watches for me to go to the other room if I’ve been there too long. If I don’t come back out and she hasn’t followed, she cries in such sorrow to find me. Even if John is nearby, she usually goes around him and ignores his presence completely.
Unless he has food.
Food first. Then bathroom. Then nap with mommy.
I wish I could convey how much adorableness she has blessed us with. She continuously brings a smile to our faces and lifts our spirits. Good thing you don’t hear me saying “She’s so adorable” or “She’s so cute” about 50 times a day—it’s not an exaggeration.
A Trip Up North
We were invited to go with our new friends to an art gallery that also had an interactive experience attached. It’s called Spectra Art Space in Denver. It was a very immersive trip that felt a bit like Meow Wolf—which I think most of these experiences are inspired by to some degree at this point. Our friends were hoping to create a space similar in creativity, activity, and community. They wanted us to get a better idea of what they were envisioning and took us there to enjoy it!
I don’t want to get into too much detail; the art gallery and interactive experience are best experienced in person. I do recommend checking them out online or on Google Maps to see more! I’ll add some photos of what I captured during our visit. There were artists there that fascinated us—whether through their technique, their focus, their theme, or some other aspect. It was quite inspiring and motivating for us to create more!
And a photo of us! It was about time for another. We can't recall when the last time we took a pic of ourselves.
Ok moving on~
Artist Trading Cards
Another month, another pile of ATCs! This month at our Crafty Card Collective monthly meet, we focused on a specific art style for the ATC idea.
The process is simple: you draw anything on one card (I just did blobs of color), cut the card into strips, rearrange them, and then glue them down on a different card. You can mix and match the strips, but they need to remain the correct ATC size.
We had quite a few attendees! Everyone was eager and excited to try this out—even the young kids wanted to make one!
Here are some samples of what was made. I created the first image of six as samples to show, as well as a few I experimented with during that time. The second image is from Erissa at Rainy Day Anime Store. She took two images, split them, and created an x-ray effect. Last but not least is Sharon’s, who played around with various ideas. She tends to love the window cards and incorporated that into this month’s design as well!
These are so easy and a lot of fun to make. If you happen to make any, send us an email so we can see what you've created!
Trade Displays
Both of our current Trade Boards will need some updates on what has been going on!
First is our Artist Trade Board at Who Gives a SCRAP (WGAS), which was moved in August to a new location within the building. Here, you can pick up an ATC Basics Zine, grab one of the different types of free kits available, view art made by others, and trade your card for one of theirs! I made 101 kits for the month of October, but they tend to disappear quickly, so stop in to grab one while you can. Or make something at home and bring it in to trade! The type of kit available is indicated on the sign on the top shelf.
We are still working on updating Top Hat Tom and the signs here. We’re waiting until we have a vehicle that can reliably get us from place to place before moving on to the next steps. Which is going to have to require the library laser cutter.
Our other location!! We found the Rainy Day Anime event room (right next door to the store). I’m quite frustrated with myself that I’ve been meaning to get this picture for about six months now. I apologize to everyone who’s been waiting for this to be added—so here it is!
John personally worked on the design and build of this. I helped about 30%: paper-mâché the base, paint it, and sticker-bomb the back. John planned, designed, cut out, glued/taped, and created the additional stickers to decorate the front.
There are also ATC instructional zines and free unique ATC kits available here as well.
Our Other Art
We’ve been creating more than our usual projects and have even dipped back into older projects and media. Let’s go over a few of the pieces we started, continued, or even completed!
This next piece below is by both John and me. It took about three years to complete—something that should have only taken a week and a half at most. John first came up with a general design, decided how many sheets of paper he needed, and in what colors.
My step was to create the papers, which involved breaking down papers into paper pulp and then forming sheets by connecting and slightly overlapping 12 sheets of the same color. It ended up as a 2-foot by 3-foot sheet of recycled paper. I also worked on the ratios of coloring for each sheet to ensure there would be enough vibrant color left once it dried.
That step alone took a few weeks to perfect.
After I had made all 12 sheets of 12 pieces, they sat for about a year and a half, circling around the apartment, until we were able to return to the project. Both of us were actually surprised that the papers didn’t get damaged.
John finished the piece with a few more steps. The frame had to be reworked: sanded and repainted on the back as well as the edges to clean it up. Then the paper sheets were laser cut, arranged, adhered to the frame, accented with paint on top, and finally sealed with a light spray.
All in all, it came out beautifully. This is a gift for a good friend of ours who was the first to believe in us. We had this idea three years ago and were finally able to give it to her
If you’re interested in commissioning something like this, please message us.
Doesn’t this look so cool? The sheets of paper are also quite thick, giving a lot of depth to this art piece. Because we liked how it came out so much, we’re planning on making more just for fun.
I’m prepping more materials to use—blending recycled papers and egg cartons that we’ve stored up over the past year. I created these larger pucks, as seen in the image below, as well as smaller pucks not shown. The small ones can be stored in a watertight container for later use. Once dried, we can more accurately gauge what the final color will look like.
They look really cool, don’t they? I’ve also been working on some fun crafts and workshops with these, which I’ll share later once I’ve cleaned out most of the recycled paper that still needs processing.
For those who don’t like touching the texture of paper pulp but love the medium and still want to experiment with it, this class may be for you! Keep an eye out. Once I have enough pulp to host for up to 10 people, I'll start working on the workshop!
We are planning to work on this winter by setting up classes and workshops online, so you can enjoy these crafts in your own time or with a group of people you just want to have a fun evening with.
With our health fluctuating unpredictably, we still want our art, ideas, classes, workshops, and information to be accessible—even if we’re not physically present.
------
If there’s a type of class or workshop you’re interested in or looking for, please message us! If you’d like to host one of our classes, we can do that too. We will provide all materials and instructions. There will either be an upfront cost or a split in the proceeds, depending on the type of class or workshop and the materials and instructions required.
----
The next art piece I'm working on is the Halloween Junk Journal I mentioned in the last blog post. I haven’t been able to work on this much at all—mostly just gathering items to use. I’ve been in love with Junk Journals ever since Cheech introduced me to them and walked me through the process last year.
I think you’ll see a lot more of these rolling out in 2026, especially since I still have 10 ready to be put up on the website but haven’t even taken photos of them yet. Then there are about 20 needing ephemera paired with them, and another 10 that still need to be handbound.
cough
I’m kind of known as a ‘mass maker,’ since I tend to create things in ridiculous quantities—like in July and August, making at least 200 cards each (that’s over 400!) just to hand out and introduce our workshops and groups.
Quick Personal Insight: the reason I do this is to compensate for executive dysfunction, dissociation, and memory loss. I rely on repetitiveness being ingrained in muscle memory so that if my mind wanders or disconnects, I can pull myself back and keep going on autopilot. I don’t even think John sees how often I disconnect and then forget how to use my hands or what I’m doing. Many times, I have to trace a trail of somewhat connected thoughts to figure out where I ended up with all this information.
I’ll forget things I’ve trained over and over. I’ve even had to relearn how to ride a bike three times in my life—and even now, I may have to relearn because it’s been more than 10 years.
The only things I’ve trained to function when I mentally freeze are fight or flight. I’ve been practicing this from about age 16 to the present, though I now have more control before my body and mind switch to autopilot in self-preservation.
With that extreme situation not being the issue when crafting, I have to find a gentler way to address this ‘glitch,’ as I’ve always seen it.
So I just make as many as I can of something to understand the mechanical movements, the purpose of what is done and why, what could be improved, and what changes are preferential—while also accepting that certain skills and abilities may come and go.
See that amazing watercolor painting I did earlier this year? I’ll probably not be able to recreate that or slip back into that mindset unless there’s a triggering event (like stress with time to calm down and some incident that reintroduces watercolors to me) to force me back into that medium…just to possibly continue it. Next time could be next month or in 3 years. It's a roll of the dice.
Sounds complicated?
Yeah, it is. This is what it’s like living in a body you don’t fully control. Childhood trauma still subconsciously affects us even today. All you CPTSD survivors/thrivers understand this all too well!
But we are living the best we can by creating as much art as we love deeply and are proud of. Sometimes the best art comes from the deepest and darkest parts of life.
I was going to work on more pictures of our artwork and products, but as shown earlier in the post, Sherlock has claimed the photo box a few times. Now I need time (and the right time of day) to clean the fabrics to use. Pictures are officially purrstponed.
Ok, yes, I know that was bad—but I wasn’t going to let that one slip by.
Here’s another cute picture of Sherlock, as she also looks at us quite judgmentally. She does that a lot. We’ve never met a cat as judgey as she can be while huffing or letting out exasperated sighs at us. It's too cute. We are sure she learned this from us...
Soak in her cute fluffiness. Did I mention she’s becoming more vocal? Yelling at us an hour and a half before it’s time to eat—and almost never at any other time. Not even when she’s actually supposed to eat. We’re proud of her for yelling at us and being vocal.
Anyway, moving away from that and back to the other arts we created in September…
During that month, I came across a few posts on Pinterest discussing the joys of underpainting. Along the same lines, I wanted to pull out the best colored pencils for us to work with—ones that feel exciting as you glide them across the paper and watch the scribbled color deepen into a solid.
I practiced some doodles, reaffirming my love for Prismacolor pencils! Underpainting before you begin really improves the quality of your artwork and the vibrancy of your colors. It almost completely eliminates those white streaks that color sometimes can’t cover.
We are going to focus on framing and how to elevate artwork quality through its presentation. From our experience at the TRE Art Show, we’ve picked up so much that we’re eager to try it out for ourselves.
Which of these is your favorite?
My favorite is the clown face, and John’s is the candle.
I’ll be working on more of these since I have further plans once I feel more comfortable with the media.
Our Health Condition Statuses
This month, the only thing we ask is for awareness that our energy—and even our capacity to reach out and stay in contact—will drop. It’s not that we don’t want to connect; it’s that we struggle to adapt to the time changes. It hits us hard every fall until it’s solidly winter. Then the temperature becomes predictable: cold and darker than sunny.
If we don’t respond or follow up within a week, PLEASE send us another message. When we dissociate, sometimes we don’t remember anything that happened prior until much later.
Chronic illnesses and disabilities are never-ending, so we will need to make adjustments to keep going.
We also have no idea where our mental, physical, or emotional state will be in the morning. So we’re going to carefully focus our energy on things we’ve already scheduled and committed to—except in cases where any of our siblings might need us.
Recommendations
I have more YouTube videos to share!
A lot of them are about art: creating art, art history, music, AI videos, etc. Some are on business, one is funny, and one is an interview that still blows my mind. Maybe you already knew of him, but we didn’t. Here are the videos we recommend from our viewings last month, along with a little note on what they’re about and our thoughts on them.
PAPER LOOPS Season 2
A really simple set of flip animations done extremely well—they loop perfectly. These are really fun to watch and kind of inspire you to try making one yourself, don’t they? I tried something like this back in junior high. I’m pretty sure John has one floating around our home that we should share if it pops back up.
What Happened to Wall Art?
This is a great commentary about the secondary tier of art editions being overly produced in chain stores. I’m just a little upset he didn’t mention this tier of art more explicitly, but I wanted to share it anyway.
First, what are these tiers? These tiers of art editions are often used in auctions or sales:
Original – One-of-a-kind artwork, made entirely by the artist.
Embellished Print (or hand-enhanced / hand-painted print) – A reproduction that has been accented or partially repainted by the artist, so each one is unique.
Print / Reproduction – A straight copy of the artwork (usually signed and numbered if limited edition, or open edition otherwise).
This level requires a few more steps than a simple print, but not nearly as many as an original. Has the production of these increased this significantly so soon?
Anyway, my rambling isn’t as important here. This video opened another door for observation over the next 10 years. Where will it be then?
This Painting Is Creepier Than You Think
This one is not for the faint of heart if you don’t like knowing the darker side of history (though it’s not entirely new in human existence) during the times of ballerinas. I actually remember taking art history in college and briefly noticing these figures—I either didn’t hear much about it or quickly lost interest.
Oh boy. I really hate encountering the heartbreaking side of humanity and evil. It has been haunting me for a while, but what happened happened. All we can do is learn about these possibilities and prevent them from happening again.
How to Create Your Best Art (Nobody Teaches This)
Another great walkthrough on how to analyze your art and figure out your approach. If you’re interested in making art in any form or for any reason—even personal reasons you may never share—you should watch this.
It really helps reinforce our next steps in our art. Some of it will be heartbreaking and sorrowful, but we hope you’ll enjoy what we are trying to convey. Great video.
Ever Dreamed of Making Manga?
Yes! I have so many plans I’ve been waiting to pull together to write my own Isekai. It’s been in the works for quite a few years now. Recently, I’ve felt more encouraged to delve into my own world since there have been complaints from artists and art lovers about soulless releases in media today. How you can tell the script was AI-generated because it doesn’t make sense or flow. Or the images look too clean and unrealistic. Or how actual artists are being suffocated by corporate deadlines, being asked to overdeliver the impossible. Creatives are being replaced by sloppy remakes that ignore what made the original so popular.
People want to see and be a part of other creative worlds. That’s why Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were so widely popular. The worlds that were created were ones people wanted to be in and experience for themselves—the impossible feeling a little closer to reality.
Kinda rolls quite well into the next one!
Can We Teach Our Moms to Spot Fake AI Videos?
For some reason, John grew up following Corridor Crew, while I had only seen a few of their renders on Instagram or Pinterest without knowing who created them. This amazing group of people are experts in VFX and CGI, starting as students learning for fun and now becoming top experts working with different companies and groups.
I recommend watching this—not just because it’s a great tutorial for spotting fake videos, but also because you get to see the range of skills and capabilities they have, rivaling large studios with billions of dollars.
Just go watch them—or any of their videos! We’ve been watching a few of theirs every day.
97% of Pop is in 4/4… Let’s Look at the 3% That’s Not
We’ve been having a lot of fun watching videos breaking down aspects of music, both classical and modern. John has been frustrated for the past year with how many songs are in 4/4. The title of this video immediately caught our attention. That line alone is fascinating, isn’t it? That so few songs are not in 4/4!
By the way, John discovered that many songs are in 4/4 because it matches a common walking speed. But the others? That many? Definitely worth watching.
I Studied 250 Artists—Here’s Why They’re Not Growing Online
This creator really knows her stuff. I stumbled across her video and ended up impressed and inspired. She breaks down a lot of information we already knew but didn’t know how to use for our next steps. Her videos are so helpful that we’re excited to stay home next week and start implementing these ideas!
If you’re interested in starting an art business and using Instagram or YouTube, she provides a ton of actionable info. Even if you don’t use these platforms, you’ll understand what works, what doesn’t, and why for each.
I Gave Up Millions to Hire Friends: Dylan Hyper’s Story
We started watching him on his current channel, called @Dylan, but apparently he had another channel called @Hyper, which began with Roblox drama/story videos. WHUT.
His current channel focuses on food—mostly in the U.S.—from the oddest locations, the oldest diners, the most gimmicked, and the most expensive. The video we started with was “I Tried America’s Oldest Diner”, because we had seen the building Carpetbagger a few years ago and wanted to see his take on it now.
We got hooked. He’s interesting, with a decent vocabulary, just the right amount of energy, and a mix of innocence and mature insight. Plus, his presentation and editing are super pleasing.
After about 20 videos, I decided to check out his first video on this channel (not knowing he had another channel). It was about Mr. Beast and his chocolate bars.
What astounded me? He spent $10,000 on this video.
I was dumbfounded—he seemed so young to have that kind of money. But after learning more, it wasn’t wasted—he was investing. He understood the algorithm, knew who to connect with (even brief appearances mattered), and had a strong grasp of the business side. His first video on the new channel, just three years ago, has 3 million views.
Not all of his videos hit millions, but far more than normal. He clearly understands how this works.
Then we checked out his other channel. He has over 2,600 videos, mostly about Roblox.
Ridiculous view counts, reflecting how popular Roblox was at the time.
I didn’t notice his second channel until we came across this interview with him. I was curious because I didn’t know his history with YouTube. He’s been active since 2012, during early YouTube. Another double take—he looked much younger than I expected.
Asians really don’t age much in the first decades of life, then BAM.
The longer the interview went on, the more impressed I became with him and his story. It’s one I’d like others to hear, because people like him helped shape YouTube into what it is today.
I wrote a lot here, didn’t I? Mostly because he exceeded all my assumptions and expectations. I’m shocked at how much of his history was hidden in plain sight. He keeps his previous channel separate from his current one, so a lot of his work could go unnoticed.
Crazy.
Snapchat Memories Being Inappropriate
This one caught my attention because a similar situation happened to me just a week prior. Snapchat reminded me of some “great memories” from years ago… and it was a picture of me contemplating suicide, with self-harm marks. One of the lowest points of my life.
Yeah, good one, Snapchat.
But this is another example of tasteless—and terrible—AI in action.
Which also makes it kind of hilarious, because of how bad it is.
If you want or need a laugh-Watch it!

Alright, that’s all I’ve got for now. I meant to share this sooner, but ended up sleeping instead. And then 5 days disappeared.
So, here’s a picture of Sherlock helping herself to some snuggles after we had fallen asleep.
What a tsundere. She doesn’t want us to know she loves our attention.
If I leave the house or go into another room where she can’t see me for too long, she starts crying loudly for me. If I’m in the other room taking a nap, she’ll excitedly follow. If I’m coming back in from outside, she’ll walk away as if she never noticed I was gone.
Scoop her up, and she’ll hiss—but also happily snuggle in, looking completely pleased.
I feel like we’ve influenced quite a bit of her sassiness too.
She brings us so much joy.
Well, I think that’s it for this post. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about what we’ve been up to and how we’re personally doing. We truly appreciate your support!
P.S. We may be a bit disconnected and possibly slow or dazed this month. We’re going through EMDR in therapy, which takes a LOT out of us. Please gently repeat or remind us if needed—we’ll really appreciate the help.
Hope you have an exciting month!
