Always down to draw Mulan :>
Priscilla is very cool and pretty, would be neat to draw her
I'd be happy to finally draw Astrid (HTTYD is a fav, so I'd also finally watch the 3rd movie)
I thought it'd be fun to have Bulma with her 80s style hair, I don't think I've seen more than like 1 fanart of her with it

Long health shenanigans ramble-
My New Years was rather unpleasant:
Had/having a diabetes scare- My mom has diabetes so I have to check her blood sugar with one of them lancing devices, and since I had been worried that I've been eating too much sugar these months I decided to check mine too- and it was over 200mg :|
For about 4-5 days I was well over 200mg, sometimes I dipped to the 170s but then it would shoot back up after any meal (Even though I went keto those days)
I knew I ate poorly in general; My most common meal was a big plate of rice with some meat and veggies, and then a dessert or a bowl of cereal, with granola and fruit in it (which with all those carbs added up is worse than most desserts).
And that is me after adjusting my eating habits earlier this year...
I of course had no idea about how bad carbs are in excess :x
I thought I was fine because I'd read about how diabetes is mostly attributed to obesity, and I wasn't in that range afaik (fluctuate between 155-160 lbs at 5'9), but of course if you push it for too long, somethings gonna give :c
I took my mom's leftover metformin for those days, thankfully on the 5th day it worked and I got my blood sugar down to 106mg (Kinda baffling scenario, as my mom's blood sugar also went back down on the same day, she had been well over 200mg through that whole time as well)
So I'm going to continue to go low carb and checking myself every day, I'm just happy to know I wasn't stuck over 200 (I was having doomer thoughts of going blind or losing the ability to move my hands normally :I let alone not being able to eat most of my fav foods)
Sorry for the long, silly vent/ tmi, I feel like I had to explain atleast this since I've been so behind in everything, but hopefully I can get past this better than before.
