life update!!
hello my friends!
as ever, not active - life happened! I probably will continue not being active, so let's count this blog as on semi-hiatus. BUT. I have big news!
I am!!!! going to china!!!! in august!!! for ten months!!! to work as a volunteer interpreter in a martial arts academy!!!! in a buddhist temple!!!!
I get to train with the foreign students 8+ hours a day, and translate when needed!!!!
ok that's the announcement, love and peace <3
I will be getting up at stupid o'clock (5:45am), eating in silence, wearing uniform / robes at all times, teach a beginners' chinese class, and also. crucially. do really HUGE amounts of Kung Fu!!!!
on a serious note, I have been trying SO hard for SO long during and after covid to get back to china. but now I actually HAVE THE VISA, as of today, the ticket is booked, all - praise be - will be well. I am so afraid to jinx it further, and so very happy :)
I would never have thought when I started this blog back in 2020 that I'd be able to use what I've learnt, all the 'useless' martial arts knowledge from copious amounts of trash wuxia, in an actually useful context. more long term, I also get to see if interpreting is right for me, improve my chinese, and get very fit - all for free :D
hope everyone is well!

evil comic I've been meaning to draw since the bloom update dropped
[Image ID/Transcript: A three-panel black-and-white Smile for Me comic divided into three images.
In the first panel, Marv is drawn from the waist up carrying a fishing rod over one shoulder, the other hand on his hip. He is looking forward with a neutral expression, saying, "Howdy, youngsters. Check-in for ol' Marv Truncler?"
In the second panel, Habit is standing at a countertop with a misspelled "check-in" sign, a "ring for service"-type bell, a box full of paperwork, and two pens. He is smiling, clapping both hands next to his head, saying (in misspelled Habit-speak) "Hello mister!! Welcome welcome we are so happy to help you find your smile again Kamal can help you with papers and walk [text blocked off by Habit's head in the word balloon]-re room". Kamal is standing behind Habit, wide-eyed, blushing and sweating furiously, clutching a bunch of papers with shaking hands. There is an arrow pointing to him reading "HAS LIKE 15 CHEESECAKE MAGS UNDER HIS MATTRESS RIGHT NOW WITH THIS GUY ON THE COVER".
In the third and final panel, Kamal and Marv are walking side by side. Kamal is blushing, sweating and looking incredibly nervous, papers stuck under one arm, the other held stiffly at his side. Marv looks relaxed, one arm holding the fishing rod over his shoulder, the other gesturing with a pointer figure. Kamal shakily says "so uhhhhh how umm what uhhhh what brings you to the Habitat"; the word balloon is partially covered up by Marv saying, in bold text, "NOW LEMME TELL YA ABOUT FISH SON". End ID.]
