GUESS WHAT YALL- yea it’s bad news łmãõ…anyways I’m going on another pc break but this time it’s much longer than the previous one which was for like 18 days. soo if I’m being honest, this break is gonna last for like 1 and a half months. it’s quite last minute because I took some time to think about it and I rlly don’t want pc to like distract me :// because I spend too much time on pc anyways. the MAIN reason why I’m spending time off pc is because my finals are around the corner and this is my streaming year which makes it MUCH MUCH IMPT. because based on how well I do, it depends on which course I’ll be placed in the next 2 years and kinda “determines my future”. sO basically I’ll be offline from today onwards till 8 oct, and maybe I’ll come online from time to time. um so this may seem pathetic or unreasonable but another reason why I wanna stay off pc is because of my followers, honestly my follower count is one of the things that motivate me to be on pc, to post stuff. and ik it shouldn’t be because it just isn’t right or some sort. my follower count have been going 📉📈📉 and it just hurts me seeing ppl unfollowing me. MOVING ON, if I ever get to 1k…I’ll host my 1k contest only aft my break and to the 13 acc/collage reviews left, I’ll get them back to you once my break is over too. I rlly can’t spare any time on pc…

3rd reason why I’m gonna go on a break is the lack of ✨INSPO✨ AND ✨MOTIVATION✨I have. honestly, I haven’t made an actual collage ever since june- like not a single one- I mean I did but I deleted it from my drafts because it was ugly. and I just can’t seem to find inspo nowadays and even when I do, I don’t feel motivated to even make a collage. I’m even starting to dread coming onto pc and like I just can’t- I need some time off pc and myb to myself ig. recently, I have just been so emotional, crying over the stüpïdëst things ever…OH AND YEA I RMB MY THIRD SURPRISE I think- sO it’s gonna be a mega collab when I’m back from my break, I’ll make sort of like a form for you guys to fill in or some sort and then decide who will be doing the mega collab with me or so. more details will be out soon and myb there won’t be a mega collab too lol. ~lyly

ahh ok, maybe when you’re back from your break we could start! also good luck on your exams omg, im kinda going through the same kind of stuff rn lol

also I think the whole follower thing is pretty normal—it could just be people going inactive or smtg, I doubt that it’s anything personal.. idk also recently I’ve noticed that things on pc have been sorta slow, so hopefully when things start picking up again, everyone’s followers will as well (if that makes sense lolol) :))

also omg this is SO PRETTYY AHH EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS AMAZING

omg lyly this is a lovely collab !!

and don’t worry about leaving and all that, everyone goes on breaks!! heck, I usually disappear without telling anyone bc it’s totally normal. don’t feel bad about not coming on and all that stuff. the last thing we’d want is for pc to feel like a chore. you don’t have to feel obliged to post either, post when you feel like it and have motivation!!

and yeah as @thebearwithpetals said, follower count is always super flaky bc ppl follow and unfollow, leave, and all that stuff, it had nothing to do with you :) also friendly reminder that follower count isn’t everything 💕

oh and my Pinterest is @apotelsma :)

This one is so pretty 💕

Also don't feel bad, take all the time you need ❤

Thank you!! But pff I'm probably never getting to writing all the stories I have in mind haha

thank you!!

ur collages are rly dreamlike 😌

HAHA YAY TO PROCRASTINATING

I'm gkad you like hearing about them, I do love talking about my ocs. The templates not mine though, I just looked it up

YASSS

oo this is gorgeous!! the aesthetic is beautiful, you both did so well :0 @caption/comments it’s ok if you need to take a break, we all understand! good luck on your finals, you’ll do great! and don’t worry about your follower count, people might unfollow if they’re leaving, others delete their accounts, it’s just what happens on social media. your follower count doesn’t define you tho! you’re super talented no matter what, don’t ever worry about them. take all the time you need off man, we’re all here to support you <3

congrats on 1k lyly !!

Ooooh a mega collab! I haven’t done one in like a million years and the one that I did do we didn’t finish so... I’m super psyched. As for the break go focus on finals, it’s much more important than making collages ❤️

AHHH BEAUTIFUL 🤩

hey i started fresh ♥️ love u lots

awe, thank you love 💕

thank you!

You're back!! I missed youuuu ❤❤

Thank you so so much 🥺❤

re//: I don’t think you replied, if you did I didn’t see it, but no worries man! it’s ok! we’ve all missed you, I hope your break was well-spent!!

yeah yeah! I’m all fine now! it wasn’t anything serious, just like being hit from behind and into a tree. we didn’t flip or get any serious injuries, just a little whiplash but it’s all alr now, ty for asking

bro I tested positive this morning, and my sister is showing symptoms, I literally don’t know what my life is rn hdhdjshsjhshe. we’ve all been jabbed (I’m supposed to get my second next week but I don’t think I can after this lol) so it hopefully won’t be anything serious

aA TYSM- that means so much omg— and I adore mushrooms, drawing them is so freaking fun. I started like ‘how do I do this-‘ then boom I couldn’t stop

howve you been?♥️

ofc!🤍

hru?

HOLY MOLY

LYLYYYY

IVR MISSED YOU OMG YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THIS JUDT MADE MY DAY

I did do pretty decent on all my tests, and I’m taking my finals next week then I’m home free :,)

honestly nowadays idk how many followers I’ve had, pc is kinda wonky as you know, and my follower count fluctuates 🥴 either way, how are you?!

Aww it's always amazing to see what my poems do with people 🥺❤

aww i hope your inspo comes back because i would love to see your amazing collages! :)

omg thank you so much!! you are too kind!💗💗💗

re//: aw, I understand. I’ve been in that situation before. throughout the whole of November I was barely active, and I got so anxious about returning and the number of comments I had to reply to and posts I had to like because I hadn’t had time to overwhelmed me, so a week break ended up being a month, but that’s ok because I got so much done during that time. I procrastinate a LOT, rn I have two assignments due in two days and I’m still finding excuses to not do them, you’re not alone there. I hope everything went well for you, and you got a lot done during your break!!

tysm! it’s nothing really serious, just like a bad cold and a headache, I think I’ll just recover fine. at least I’m at home, and I can spend time with my family as well as get lots of work and art done

oh wow, I don’t think I was ever really obsessed with mushrooms?? a couple years ago I drew cats on everything, then it turned into eyes but not like anime girl or realistic eyes, it was bird eyes lol. right now is wings and feathers, my notes for wildlife and ecology class is just covered in them because I get so bored in it :’’’)

LYLYYYY🥰🥰

i’ve been super busy, but really good. i hope things brighten up for you ♥️

i just wanted to let you know that i changed my challenges so that challenge 2 everyone can join! i hope you can join if you cant i completely understand :)

LYLYYUU😂😂🥰

thank you so much!!

AHH HII HRU

and omgg tysm !! 💕💕

re//: aw don’t worry man, we’ll never forget you!! and it’s ok to not be productive, it’s your break and you can spend it however you want whether it’s spent studying or not.

yeaH, I get that now. not much has really been happening tho, my mum has been working most of the time, I’ve been doodling and writing while my sister has been watching tv. she’s baking rn and brO honestly they’re the best cookies I’ve ever tasted omg. my mum understands tho, if I want my own space I’ll just leave and go to my room

^a couple arguments have happened, but nothing really serious. I’ll get really bored if I isolated on my own :’’’)

don’t say that :((( I’m sure your art is really good! it’s probably way better than mine! you should see my first drawings when I started out, and even some from like a month ago, they’re terrible. my art ain’t even perfect now, it’s just about practice. but mhmhm, school really is boring, sometimes it’s just an urge then boom I’m staring at some feathers on my page lol

ty man 💕 I hope you’re doing alright and staying healthy through all this mess~

there’s no extension on the contest but there are still 3 days left! don’t worry if you can’t enter there will be more contest in the future

thank u :))

thank u sm

HAHA AW

aw lyly🥰

Aawwwwww🤣

thank you :) i’ve missed you so much

Aww thank you!! You are so kind 🥺❤

HAHA I would probably also cry cause it’s such a good line depending on how it’s delivered 😎

THANK YOU ILL MAKE SURE TO KEEP POSTING <3

re//: ty! hm, if you want to be more productive try making timetables like giving yourself thirty minutes, or even ten minutes, dedicated to school work or an activity each day without any distractions, like put your phone on charge in another room while you work. that’s something I find works for me, that and breaking up whatever I need to do into segments like doing one half one week, the second half the other week until it’s due. I’m sure there’s loads of tutorials and stuff online to help you be more productive too!

aw that’s ok man, it took me around a year or two until I could draw people, and even now I struggle. I actually started out drawing animals for the first like three years of drawing :’) it takes a lot of practice, study and reference

wait really- I don’t pay attention to my follower count loL. tbh most of my followers are inactive since I’ve had this account for almost six years :’’)

AW TYYY

oh that’s weird, maybe you have to update it? idk

ah same :/ I’m doing ok, just super stressed lol

ooh yay!! yeah you can just remix it on the contest post! round 2 comes out very soon!!

Hello! To reply to the comment you left on the application form, I'd like to let you know I will take that into consideration when choosing judges. I hope this helps!

re//: I understand, I find it super hard to not get distracted by my phone. I don’t even have that much social media on it, I just find myself idk scrolling through my photos or something. I mostly get distracted by instagram oops. but yeah, there are lots of methods you can use to hopefully help and improve how you study, good luck with it all!!

oh dang, 8-9 subjects?? I would simply pass away- I probably won’t be able to draw as much as I want next year either, since it’s my major exam year and I really should get a proper job, oh and I’m learning to drive next month too :’’)

I’ve been here for longer, I’ve just run this account for around 6/7 years. I’ve actually probably been here for around 8 years, since I was 9/10 years old, but I deleted that old account because it made me cringe too hard lol

also your pfp is so cute! :0

aww ty :)) I’ve just been doing a lot of stuff for school/ college applications and I’ve had no time to rlly do anything else🙃 but I think things are winding down now, so I’m feeling a lot better

also I could work on the collab soon! I don’t remember lol, am I doing to bg? if I am then I could remix it in like the next couple days

hey lylyyyy?

heyy!! i just wanted to let you know that challenge 2 is out!

haha yess disregard follower count :)

and that’s fair. I’m #stressed, but my friendships/relationships are low key thriving. I’m super grateful for my friends rn 😅 hopefully things pass soon lyly~

replying to ur comment on the collage showdown page: I’m so sorry if I offended you. 😞 I just meant that I wouldn’t have any favorites and I wasn’t trying to point out that anyone might and that they should know that I won’t have favorites. sorry again if u were offended. :(

woukd you like to do something? :)

ohhh want me to come later?

HAHAHAHA FEEL FREE

awww thank u!!!

re//: I’ve had it for a couple years now, I don’t use it for anything other than talking to my irl friends. I have an at account that I do use a little for keeping up with my favourite artists but apart from that I don’t. it can be addictive just scrolling through meme tho :’)

*art

ty! and you too! you’ll do great, I’m sure!!

heheh.😁

awww thanks☺️

wow

AHH TYY <3

also dw, I can do the bg soon probably in the next few days or so !!

replying to ur comment on the collage showdown page: I’m sorry if I offended you. 😞 I just meant that I personally wouldn’t have any favorites and I wasn’t trying to point out that anyone else might; my whole point was just that I have no favorites and I’m sorry again if your feelings were hurt.

Thank you 💜

re//: pFSFSTST WHAT DO YOU MEAN BLESS, DON’T YOU MEAN BURN LMAØ- but tysm! it’s not really talent, just like loads and loads of practice and sacrifices to the art gods

yea, I rarely ever post, I last posted at the beginning of November and it’s private anyway so I don’t have many followers. they’re just friends from here pretty much lol

it is nice to still have contact with people who aren’t that active here, or have migrated to Instagram from here

wow because the collage is so beautiful

but um gurlll this is a masterpiece

THANK YOU!! and yeah brick aesthetic is what u call it PFFT

I’ve been trying to get rest!! holiday break is almost here so it’ll be easier on me :D

thank you for your kind words! i still check back on PC every now and then to see everyone else’s activity, so I might see you around from time to time! and thank you, for being such a great supporter and friend of all my stuff. that has always meant the world!!! may all the new chapters of both ur life and mine come with good things only :)) I can’t wait to see how great your beautiful works become in time! 💜

Hello and congrats! You have been selected as a judge for the Collage Showdown! If you think you are unable to participate or be active enough as a judge needs to be, please let me know. Otherwise, let me know your preferred method of communication, either through remixes or email.

You have 24 hours to respond before I select another applicant to be a judge (I hope you understand, as being a judge is a very important role)

Thank you 💜

Yeah I only contact them when there's like a bug, I've tried other complaints in the past, but they never do anything with it

probably because I made it up 💀 idk it just seems like the whole town and the colors relate to bricks so 😂

and I will :))

hi! ugh that stinks... well I'm not sure if you'll see this or not but you could post it on your acc if you want or you could try again and remix today or tomorrow (19th) the final round wont come out until later tomorrow so it gives you like 24 hours to get it to me... I'm really sorry pc is being like this that must be really annoying

Thank you for your quick response! The first challenge will be posted later today and I will notify the contestants to let them know they have been chosen!

re:// yess I love the glowing text! it used to be really big back in 2018, till pc messed up their blur feature 😂

I’m glad it’s making a comeback though because it’s my absolute favorite thing ever

and I’m sure that once the people irl realize your beauty you will have that support system too! sometimes the world isn’t ready for your greatness, but they’ll come around <3

Omg this is absolutely stunning

re//: yeah.. I lost one of my closet pc friends back in march and I fell into such a depressive slump because I thought I had lost them forever, especially since I thought of them as probably my best friend I’ve everyone i’ve ever known. I do have them friended on discord, but they never use it and don’t really respond whenever I message them. we literally haven’t spoken since April

*out of, not the first I’ve, oops

it’s kinda sad that everyone is dropping away, but like I understand. most people are too busy with school and college and family, but I know that the people who stay are the real ones and true friends

ahh thank you so much!

Yeah for real, like don't they understand that they have to actually put work in to keep this community alive? We can't do it on our own

aww I really love ur new pfp!

I did really well actually !! thanks lyly 😩🤍

yeah I totally get that.. I follow some people on Pinterest and Instagram but we barely have time to talk, and it just doesn’t feel the same :/ I can’t describe the feeling but it just feels rlly empty..

I think ppl always come back for the holidays which is really nice, I just hope pc is doing things that are enticing more ppl to join, is all xD

thank you!! 💞💞

this is beautiful omg, so aesthetic 😩

Congratulations messcenery-!! You WON challenge 2!!! Come enter challenge 3 for a chance to win prizes!!

ok I remixed the bg for the collab!! lmk if there’s anything you want me to take out or add to it

also I left a big space at the bottom for text so that it’s easier to add in lol

Hello! I just wanted to make sure that you saw the remix with judging information. For some reason, PicCollage wouldn't let me remix it on this collage but I remixed it on the next collage>>>

THAAAAANKS LDKDKFJFKF’FKF yeah I ma actually trying to write instead of collaging at least until I get inspiration

Yes, I totally understand. Things have been hectic at my house getting ready for Christmas as well. Here are the answers to your questions: For the shoutout, we will each choose our top 3 favorites and comment them on the judging post, and for this particular round, we will list our 7 least favorite collages. This way, when I look at the names to see who will be eliminated/get a shoutout, I will eliminate the 5 people whose names were listed the most and I will shoutout the one (or maybe two) people who did the best based on our list.

I hope this helps and I will comment something similar to this on the judging remix to help remind you!

thankuuu!

thank you!! and I actually didnt do the floral doodles heh, its a scrap :))

thank you! <3

thank you so much lyly you’re amazing🥺

how are you doing??

AHDJFIEKA THIS IS STUNNING

I LOVE THE AESTHETIC
