Hello i'm Wishcandy! An artist enamoured by retro culture, street fashion, kitsch, beauty, and the grotesque. Find prints, stickers, totes, pins, and originals here.

Someone get me a rug gun asap

Kinda miss the days when the internet was simpler. We’d just share the tiny things that brought us joy. And make vague emo posts.

Finding things nobody else knew about was half the fun (though I do love viral jokes and memes now). But we’d share our secrets with our friends and way less of a chance theyd seen the same obscure shit

Social media clout was less of a thing. We’d just make friends while in forums and chat rooms

Sounds like adhd 💅🏽

My therapist said that there’s a relax part of the brain and a work/ do a thing part of the brain. Someone without adhd can engage these parts of the brain separately.

So when they wanna relax, they just do. When they wanna do a task, they just get up and do it. But when you have adhd, both the relax brain area and the work area light up AT THE SAME TIME! Which is why we get stuck, despite wanting to do a thing. And can’t fully relax either. Making us spiral with anxiety, guilt, and depression.

All it takes is a hit of dopamine for us to be able to wiggle out of that for a bit. But adhd struggle to hold onto dopamine and slowly dole it out. Our dopamine bucket has a hole in it. So not long after, we’re stuck and in despair again. Which leaves us seeking dopamine in relationships, snacks, films, video games. Whatever scratches our personal brain itch.

And if you need coffee and weed just to slow your brain down enough to function. You might wanna get tested for adhd 💜 (there are several types, so some symptoms might not sound like you, but there’s overlap too) ✨

Hello darlings! I could really use your help getting medical treatment 💗

I edited my fundraiser to reflect my current situation. I realized the root of my issues is Lyme, EBV, and Mold! I won't improve without treating those first. There's no insurance coverage for the specialists I need to see. Due to politics and lobbying. But getting medical care should NOT be political. And I absolutelyyy cannot put off care anymore. The last stage of Lyme is Lyme Carditis, which I've been showing signs of since January 2022. Absolutely not tryna die from a tick bite

Any support is appreciated (sharing also helps!) 🌈

Probably going to need to get own place. Broke up with my now ex, and he’s not really taking covid precautions now. Telling me covid is over. I already have lyme, EBV (a virus), several autoimmunes, a damn liver issue (not from drinking), etc etc. I need peace and stability and safety </3 Any help is appreciated

A friend got me sick and I’ve been on doctor ordered bed rest for almost 2 months. Unable to work. Would appreciate any help! I rely on art for income, so I don’t have PTO

My car also desperately needs repairs and I rely on it for transportation

🌸 Reblogs appreciated 🌸

Or check out my art shop

Hi darlings! Finally did a shop update for the holidays. New prints, new button pins, etc. I rarelyyy have a sale and haven’t made new prints in over a year!

And can also use your help: My car got vandalized twice in 2 months. (Catalytic converter + my gas tank was drilled). The unexpected expense as a freelance chronically ill artist 

ANYWAY: Enter code: HOLIDAY15 to get 15% off everythinggg here

Just a reminder that on the web version of Tumblr you can turn off infinite scrolling in your dashboard settings.

And you should.

(also turn off "Best Stuff First" if you're sensible)

I turned off infinite scrolling years ago because it messed with the browser’s memory
