I hope Baudelaire orphans are still recognizable, despite it being a mishmash of various canonical designs and also some of my ideas

I've been drawing for about a year and I seem to be improving

I'm not very good at art yet, only learning for a year, and only doing digital art for about a month. But "Pomni in a basin" is a russian meme that my friends (and my partner specifically) liked a lot, so I wanted to draw it

She started cheating at cards to pay for magic academy - and then was expelled from magic academy for gambling

Meanwhile I'm learning to work with shadows and color

I'm just learning to draw, practicing what I can, and I seem to find my style already

This godforsaken country is introducing the bill that allows to strip people of birth-given russian citizenship for some things - like desertion and discreditation of army (which happens every time you question war)

So, my question, if someone loses all citizenship, what happens next? Is their life basically over? Is there a way to re-gain citizenship (like, in another country)? Can they be deported?

I don't really understand why people do it. Not like "they're doing it because they are depressed and feel bad", I had depression myself but never had a call to injure myself. I hate pain, and doing something painful to myself while I'm already feeling bad doesn't really sound appealing. So I don't quite get what self-harm gives people so they keep doing it.

Like, is it a way to "ground" yourself and stop dissociating, or is it "just to feel anything at all", or as a "punishment", or something else?
