I am legit starting the artist's way challenge again with the intention of using it as therapy now that I know that I'm autistic. Because the challenge of finding a therapist who understands autism, let alone in afab adults self diagnosing later in life sounds exhausting.

On the frosting story — I had to pause everything and come here to tell you that I did the same thing!!! But i would sneak it, primarily when i was at my grandma’s house. This one evening during a truly awful summer, my grandma and i talked for hours in the dead of night and after i was sufficiently consoled, she told me to go downstairs and get some icing before bed as a treat. Of course she knew. I hang onto that evening so tenderly and this was such a nice reminder :)

I'm currently at the part of you talking about eating a full tub of icing, and I just couldn't stop giggling. I used to see my grandma every weekend when I was a kid, and typically we would always bake a sweet treat to (hopefully) last the week. Though we ate it all the entire weekend. But every Friday night when I would get dropped off, we would go to Dollar General to get whatever supplies we needed. Usually, my grandma would buy a second tub of icing for us to just share while we baked. It was definitely over kill, but as long as my mom didn't know, grandma could do whatever she wanted and those where always my favorite weekends.

I see we’re both getting wild YouTube comments this week! Mine was upset that I was “pretending to be mad about something that doesn’t affect me” (i.e., a racial slur being used in a furry musical)

When you started sharing the story about the frosting I literally gasped because I have done the exact same thing. Had no idea that's possibly linked to the ADHD dopamine button. So much about my sweet tooth makes sense re: my diagnosis.

Hey 👋🏻 I’ve been following you for such a long time on youtube // and I have watched your videos of how you get outside of your comfort zone or try new mediums or even you facing hands and feet!!! All of that helped me so much. We all learn at different paces. My child is currently facing their fear of hands and feet and finding their style—- I am 29 and just got comfortable with those things… I am so proud that they have a supportive environment to freely find themselves and sometimes I have to have a good cry alone that that could’ve been me had my family not criticized to the point I gave up art… You have grown so much Cheyenne, and where my parents criticized— you and other creators spoke words that have stayed in my heart to the point I recommend you to my child for inspiration when they asked what art vloggers do you recommend. I know this good comment won’t take away the ick of that negative one you got—- but I wanted you to know this little story of how you helped me to be who I am today and a better artist/mom for my child to be supported in whatever creative field they end up in 🌈 ❤️

I think I remember that ig post about the artbook :) so happy for you, what a beautiful full circle moment!

Mariana Laranjeiro

as someone who ~also~ follows you for a long time, i don't think your work is at all the same!!!! you have a style and an identity!!! different from drawing the same things everytime... frankly I'm always appalled about how you always manage to draw different things and have so much creativity going on uwu

that comment is actually so out of pocket, i literally gasped out loud while i was in the gym listening to your pod,, i think theres another layer when the channel in question doesnt even post their work online also inner child work changed my life, its so effective c:

Anyone who can look at your work over the last three years and not see any change, growth, or development in your style is just straight up dumb I’m sorry 😭that’s so silly to me. I’m so sorry you got that comment!!!

Maggie Coe

i got a comment like that on one of my YT videos and i hit them with a "okie dokie". like the audacity of that comment!

LittleTinyEgg

OMG that comment!! People really think they can say anything. Can you imagine saying that to someone in real life?? so pretentious.

Kimberly Sanford

It’s so heartwarming and reassuring to hear that you’re feeling more connected with your inner child/younger self! Being 22 I feel like I’m supposed to spend this decade of life trying new things and growing outward but I don’t want little me/younger me to get lost in all of that either—always a pleasure to listen and much love from NY! 🧚🏼‍♀️

still listening to the segment but fuck that commenter and their unsolicited advice, and yeah they aren't even right!!! on a more positive note, i was so thrilled watching the heikala video, the chat was so insightful and the art so good!! you and heikala make up a significant amount of art on my wall and it was so surreal and cool seeing you together 🌸🌻
