People with BPD, PTSD, bi-polar,
Tell me your stories. Tell me your fears. Educate me on how you navigate with the hypersensitivity and the fear of abandonment.
Years of my life have been marred by this dirty lens I see myself through. I want to find a way to be the unstoppable powerhouse who doesn’t hate themselves. I get there sometimes. I just don't know how to stay.
Midwest tour photos. The Pokemon Field exhibit was amazing!
(sorry if this is awkward, no need to reply)
I just wanted to say that SPG is one of the most nostalgic things ever for me and I admire you and David so much. I bought The Quest For The Eternal Harp Of Golden Dreams and just cried while watching it because I watched it before, during, and after everything in my life went to absolute shit as a kid.
Life as a neurodivergent, queer person is really fucking scary right now and I just wanted to reassure that you mean a lot to people. I wish I could help with finances more than I can currently. I’m hoping my grandma will buy me your art for my birthday in April because I love all of it so so much.
But yeah, you matter! <3
Thanks for that sentiment! Yes, its so rough to be an artist right now! And its very difficult to be a queer person right now or neurodivergent. I fall in those categories and its hard to not let the fear get to you. It's good to hear you use the word nostalgic with the band, because I always thought we were capturing the nostalgia of the music, the setting, the history of the band as Milennials born in the 90s...looking back on history we didn't really experience but with a warm nostalgic filter. The nostalgia from the 80s and 90s is my childhood, and listening to some of that music is an absolute nostalia overload. Its a little sadder and beautiful when its you reflecting on your own history, something I think we keep trying to capture with our music. For the band's lore, creating that feeling of a phantom nostalgia, a time and place that you never experienced and may not even be real...is where the story of ageless robots who dabble in every music genre really glows for me. Revisiting the media that helped shape you as a kid is such an experience. I feel like each time I revisit something every ten years its like experiencing it for the first time again. I hope you always find that warmth and memory in your favorite SPG songs.
I’ve been having a hard few weeks—couldn’t really explain why since nothing bad has been happening, just emotional i supposed
I’m a relatively new fan to SPG and i think it found me right when i needed it to, SPG has been my crutch lately and every time things get hard i listen to one of your songs.
There wasn’t much purpose to this ask other than to say: Thank you, Bella. You and your content have been helping me through a lot lately, you’re such a deeply talented person and it’s been inspiring me a lot lately.
Thanks, I'm so glad it has helped you. It's a pretty deep Rabbit hole to fall down (heh) and I hope you enjoy the journey. We made the world with a lot of sweat and love and I hope people can appreciate that, it always makes me happy.

Idk if you even read these or if youd remember something like this but 15 years ago (yikes!) A 15 year old girl sent you an ask on Tumblr dot Com telling you how cool it was that you an adult woman was transgender because she had just figured out she was gay and had some gender stuff going on. I dont remember if you'd said "I dont know who im going to become but it'll be the person I was meant to be" in that reply to me or in some other forum post around that time. But I went through my old yearbooks and saw where that girl used it for her senior quote a year or two later. Im a much happier, much healthier 30 year old man now and while I try to be better about not being parasocial nowadays I did want to thank you for replying to me back then and helping me feel seen even if it took....awhile for me to figure out why. From one tired gay adult to another, im glad we're still here.
This is so cool! Its good to re-meet you on the interwebs a little closer to who we were meant to be, yeh? I'm happy for you. I'm happy for me. It's tough, I hear it in your message. But yeah, if there's one thing I like about getting older...is that if you're doing it right, you're learning a lot along the way. I am not the same person I was 15 years ago, but who I am now is so much happier and healthier.
I know you probably get a million messages like this a day so please feel free to ignore or tuck away as you so please, but I need to thank you for putting yourself out there as a person and making your art public. I saw a live show of SPG when I was 12 or so and still pre-transition, but I ran up to you after the show to have you sign my poster and show you my trans pin. The patience you showed a little girl who had no idea what she wanted to be put me on the path I'm on today, and seeing other trans autistic artists out there inspires me to keep going!! plus, I owe it to one of your songs that I'm married now, so thanks for that too XD
hope you're having a lovely night and that all things go well for you
I'm so happy younger me left you with a good experience. That's all I hope for when interacting with anyone, and its so lovely to hear I had some impact on you in a positive way. Seriously, if 2012 me could see this post...this is what its all about, paying it forward to the next traveler. You're never alone, we're all traveling this big blue world together :3 And congrats on getting married...I just got married last October and I keep joking with my wife that writing good songs for me is over because I'm getting too damn happy.
Hi I dont mean to be dramatic but I was on the verge of ending it all and then I didn't because of you/SPG. Sorry if this is weird but I just wanted to say "Thank you".
I know how hard it can get. Thank-you for discovering the band and giving us a go.
I started following your work and SPG back in 2010 and I listened to Transform for the first time today after drifting away in 2018 to deal with my own transformation. I know I'm just a drop in the pail, but I hope you know how much you inspired others to be true to themselves despite any obstacle. Thank you for being such a strong voice in general and for everyone else going through their own transformations as well. Keep being you!
It really means a lot that you took time out of your day to send me this message. You are not just a drop in the pail, you are an individual and how you connected with our art is important to me. I'm so glad you've found continued value in the art, that's the greatest compliment.
Ever since I became a fan of your band I believe five years ago, I’ve had many many questions involving the band..but I’ve had one recently that’s more about the people in it.
How do you handle the stress of balancing your free time with art and literally running a band, not to mention all the other things you may do? I’d think it would be hard but idk I’ve started thinking more of the members of the band as themselves rather than just as the robot characters they play 🤷
(I may send in more questions revolving history of the band and its members rather than personal life if that’s okay)
Please know, I love talking about myself and my art like most artists. So pretentious of me, but I love to see interest! I do a piss-poor job of managing my time and stress. Really. I've been on a personal journey for the last decade of trying to iron myself out, and its been a really tough run of it. But finding the balance is the key to success. I'm so close, but I've still got so far to go. The problem is, who figures out they've been doing life wrong before they hit their late 20s? I really couldn't see through the fog and the constant go-go-go of my life and career. Then the pandemic happened. My mental health has been a priority ever since. I've struggled with it since the day I was born and will continue to feel excruciating amounts of emotional turmoil for the rest of my days... So managing that is what leads to a more consistent balancing of time. My problem is finding the sweet spot between my manic hyper-drive explosions of creative/work energy and the week-long depressive stints or more. I also love to just work in a constellation of projects. I jump around a lot sure, and my energy fluctuates between them...but I tried for so long to work differently and...I just found this is how my brain works. The benefit is that this thing I thought was a problem...is actually my greatest strength. But, it is also why I can't finish things or get distracted. Despite that, the best advice I can give is that you cannot be scared to start something and fail. You cannot be afraid to never finish a piece of work. Here's what I tell my own kids: Starting something is doing 90% better than most people. Even if it doesn't stick. Create anything and you're doing great. It can even suck. Most people don't even begin let alone have their own creative work, band, what-have-you. For me managing the constellation of all the things you have to do can be fun and challenging; it can be a pitfall and it can also be an amazing tool. But I'm still trying to find my groove. I am not succeeding in any visible sense I think at the moment, but I know I'm trying to get there.

will the blue haired robot from the me & my baby art ever reappear? she looks so microwaveable
I'm just happy to this day people come up to me and say they love her design. The fun of not defining her is that the listener gets to be the girl in Spine's arms. But just to be clear, I would write a backstory and plot arc for a talking trashcan, so be careful what you wish for.
Hi! I've had a question burning for awhile, and with the new year in, I figured it was as good a time as any to ask it!
If you were to look into outside help for the SPG webcomic, what kind of skills and portfolio would you be looking for? Call it a pipe dream but I've often wondered if any of my jack-of-all-trades skills could help bring it to life. I recognize a cold call like this is not usual form, but if it's ever something you look into, I'd like to be ready to get in the candidate line! Thanks! :)
Well, I have no money to offer anybody at the moment, which really makes doing the comic harder! But first, thank-you this is such a huge compliment just you being interested in that way. And second, just theoretically: if we get this off the ground going again and we decide we need some outside help I'd always look for innovation and creativity. That's very generic, but delegating the comic is hard for me to do...Sam did storyboards and helped with writing and did full page line art. Gabi did background art and a bunch of coloring...so...I love Gabi's love of the weird and her work is super sleek looking. Sam and I both have really disturbing looking art (but Sams is more disturbing, and I LOVE it) so we just meshed well together. He is a very efficient and dedicated artist, and I was always blown away by everything he did. It oozes his personality. Style is a big thing for me. Line quality and readability... But...to reiterate I don't have anything for anyone to do atm. I'm always thinking about what I'd need to do to get in someone else's help, and it would be a boon to save time. But I am also very possessive of the work and I'm still learning how to delegate stuff. You can tell I've been thinking a lot about the comic.
Media as Therapy
This is a funny thing to kind of stumble upon when it should be more obvious... Do you know that feeling you get; perhaps after seeing a good movie in a theater? You leave kind of half in that world you saw and you take a piece of it with you. You almost "become" a part of the film in a way. You may suddenly feel pumped to change the social order, or want to call your mom and tell her you love her, or any other sort of introspective emotional energy galvanized by whatever media you just enjoyed. Isn't that a wonderful feeling? I can remember so many times how I floated on air after enjoying a good movie, show, or book. The feelings can sometimes last 24 hours later...just kind of slowly coming back to the rigors of your own life little by little as you get further away from that inspirational high. These positive feels seem so helpful. How effective do you think this is for treating mental illness? I've never really thought it about... I remember having a mental breakdown a few years ago, and I went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Silently ugly crying in the theater really sort of put my perspective at the time back on track. It was a difficult day, but it turned around majorly after that film. There's probably a lot that goes into it that helps...calm lighting in a theater or quiet vibes for a book...something to focus on...but when it works, I find myself drifting on a sort of cloud made out of the elements of whatever piece of media I just saw. It feels so good, this is why watching Lord of the Rings for the 17th hundred time will always give me those chills...like when Boromir dies in Aragorn's arms, or Samwise does his speech at the end of Two Towers...ugh...I'm already tearing up thinking about them. This is really why I love art. Its the only thing I did with my feelings back when I lacked any other tools, and it continues to guide me along. How effective can it be? Sometimes focusing on media can be hard with stress or too many distractions, but I find myself trying to recreate that environment of in-taking something good for the soul as often as I can without really planning it or knowing why... That hunger for something that's gonna give you tingles. Its addicting. And cathartic.
Mistress Bella I drew looking a little less like she'll crack open your skull and drink your brain juice, for a change.
This might be a weird question Apologies -but im on a confidence streak atm-
what, if anything, inspired your passion for obscure films?
I was fortunate to grow up in the era when you went to the video store to rent or buy movies on VHS/DVD. These stores had shelves of sun bleached vhs tapes of direct-to-video 80s shock, and every obscure 50s movie a production company had in their backlog.
The stupid crazy box art lead me down a rabbit hole and I stumbled upon the MST3K movie and soon my brother and I would get up early in the morning to catch their show.
I think that feeling of discovering something so old and perhaps forgotten really stuck with me, and I try to recreate that feeling of stumbling upon these treasures on my show. Whether they were good or bad movies, I always got this sense of looking into the past, and showcasing and preserving these obscure films has become a passion for me.
They're so bad they're good. And sometimes you find one that is actually really good...which is how I discovered Return of the Living Dead as a kid. You never know what you're in for.

Hello! :3
I just wanted to share something I did
I made the Walterbots in tomodachi life!! :D
so cool!!!
Hi! I really love your art, I wanted to ask who or what was your inspiration for making your art style? C:
I watched every Tim Burton movie as a kid and really fell in love with old sci fi and horror films; so I just try weird things and get very goth-style vibes
