the sink in a disabled household is a constant source of stress and yuckiness and i wanted to make some sinkdog fanart with that bit of pain in it. we don't usually see her all gross and dirty and miserable.

someone on tumblr talked about how sinkdog is kinda cathartic because you scoop all the yucky parts out of the girl to make her into an object of cleanliness (and how it's ironic because she's kink art) and it had me thinking about how sinks are also yucky. feeling like even if you scrape yourself hollow, girlhood can still feel dirty. inescapable. plus the torment that you'll never be really done doing dishes because more dirty dishes appear daily.

ooh i'm really glad this could resonate with you. i wish all the alters with single roles to not feel too trapped or worn out by them. virtual hugs.

she's very much tethered there :( it's about how there's disabled and chronically ill people that, even WITH all the cleaning tips and tricks and aids and lifehacks in the world, will still have dirty sinks. how we've got to overcome that guilt about it. there will always be more dirty dishes. we will always be fatigued. it's frustrating, really frustrating. sometimes it is not a safe amount of clutter and we do need to ask for help. but even at our best we will not have a pristine house, and this is okay. our poor sinkdog is in the middle of the frustration but she will be okay too. even if she isn't clean.

you are the realest person on this planet and i love you
