🚨 EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS OPEN🚨 tw // homeless / some med talk but not much

Reblogs are greatly appreciated!!

Making a new post to hopefully get some work for my family and I so we have somewhere to stay for tonight, since work has been very slow lately. I'm Link, and I'm a 22-year old artist, and my family and I (me + my father and younger sibling) have been homeless since November 2021. It's a long story. TL;DR version is at the same time, while I was living with a friend and my dad + younger sibling was on the road (he drove a van at the time) he had gotten into a diabetic coma and was fired by his job. Being fired meant he or my sibling didn't exactly have a home to go back to, as our relatives on both sides refused to help. At the same time, I was going to have to find someplace else since my friends grandmother was entering the late stages of her life and they had to transfer her to the nursery, meaning there was a lot of things his family had to take care of and I couldn't be there. They allowed my father, sibling and I to stay there for two weeks to give us time to find someplace else.

While I was there, I'd been doing commissions to help their family out with food, and since it was either the streets or living under a roof; I told my friend to take us to a nearby motel since we had enough for a day, and we could figure things out from there. So since then, I've been keeping us here by doing commissions ever since. Either of us haven't been able to obtain a job yet due to how hard it is for us to get our documents to get an id (we dont have a car at the moment, and saving money for the room and food is already tough as is), but recently we think we might be able to get my father's ID so he can work, were waiting on his lung condition to recover fully and get money saved up for the documents and all that before we apply to get them. So hope isn't fully lost for us, we just need to take care of some things for a while longer until then.

Recently, things have gotten worse again. We were paying weekly thanks to the help from my followers and commissions I was getting, but when we weren't able to pay for another, we went back to paying daily again. And immediately we were set back. For the past few days, we haven't been able to pay for one let alone food. We were able to pay most of it to at least stay here, thanks to the kindness of the staff, but they called us earlier to tell us if we couldn't pay everything tonight, then we'd have to leave. We owe 120 by 11pm tonight, and I thought maybe making a new post might help us since posting on my other socials hasn't done much for us lately.

My commissions are open, and if you're interested in helping us out via a commission you can contact me through my Tumblr dms since it's the easiest way to get to me. But if you can't help financially, which I totally understand, I know the economy is tough on all of us right now, please don't feel bad or anything. Reblogs also help us a ton, and it always means a lot to us.

For the commission info itself, I have it all packed into this link right here, along with examples of my art and prices. I draw mainly fantasy pertaining to the Dragon Age Series and although I know little to nothing about Baulders Gate, I have done some art of tavs before! I also do DnD work as well, so I'm used to drawing pretty unique characters. I'll also put some examples I have below. If you want something outside of that, I'm sure I can provide, just let me know upon your request! And I think that's all. Much love to you and thank you for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day/night :)

the aliens from the show are difficult, I have a reboot in my head but I'll separate them for hopefully a more digestible read I also haven't seen the show in a long time so my memory is blahhh

General Headcanons

Coverton gives me amphibious vibes, tho I do think those cheek "flaps" are like. gills or something, not exactly. his chrysalis rejuvenation molting whatever is ?? helps keep his skin squishy soft and get rid of skin disease. human equivalent of a "birthday" but he only does it every 6¾ (earth) years, he's also 180 so you do the math for his human age

"Coverton" is not his real name, that's a title, as is "Coverlord" for leader of the interstellar conquering empire

loves a good mocha, I also think he would like boba tea. idk I like to imagine the aliens just trying earth drinks, I'm gonna project more and say he doesn't like soda, or champagne but does appreciate wine. the lemonade he had from the pilot was meh, whatever

from what I understand Sta'abi doesn't have a home anymore? she's a survivor of some horrid giant beast's rampage. at some point she left her planet to join an interspecies group of warriors that travel the stars, which has some association to the Coverlord Empire. so her position under this council of warriors is.. a monster hunter

her favourite kind of food is from the sea, enjoys shellfish & cephalopods the most (because her usual hunt is on land, seafood is fancy). she likes to dance despite not being very elegant, but her priority is "the mission" which excludes "having fun" (tho her idea of fun is tag)

Sqweep's skin is like. dry slime. or putty texture. she is like a sterilised marshmallow if that makes any sense. smells like roasted walnuts or a burnt almond cookie

Reboot Headcanons

concept art I love better than the og + sketches of inspired slight redesign from my ig (and a drawing I forgor)

Coverton's legs are pretty weak compared to even the average of his species, Earth's atmosphere & gravity doesn't help either. so while he can stand, it's only for a brief time, it also fluctuates how long depending on the weather. he'd use his hoverchair or just put the spacesuit on, especially for going outdoors

‌can't stand saltwater, lousy swimmer, afraid of Earth's ocean & easily seasick

‌unlike show canon, his telekinesis is artificial & enhanced with technology

weighs like a bunch of grapes, flexible & hypermobile, near-sighted so he may wear contact lense

he carries out his rejuvenation cycle in a secure chamber, symptoms include excessive sliming ("sweat"), bubbling skin (boils), and flaking (desquamation is just the beginning). like the rest of his species, he was grown in a lab

I honestly have no idea if that's natural hair or a wig lmao

concept art where I'd just combine the best ones imo

Sqweep is a nickname! she gets it from the "eep" sounds she makes when excited or surprised

idk why I feel like she has a hundred or more siblings, not many are close to each other. perhaps several parents too, at least 5

like her parents and grandparents and great grandparents she's a super rich adult scientist that works as part of an interstellar organisation dedicated to protecting life harbouring star systems

a field researcher therefore planetary explorer, her job is to document & study life on Earth

likes romantic comedies, and loves all animals on Earth, but she's allergic to fur, which is devastating

since she does have a face and therefore is able to emote, I think the antenna colour coded light emoting is unnecessary. I'd like to find another place for it in relation to her but not her biology itself. she sparkles instead

pretty sure no bones (therefore no teeth), light as a cloud so a gust of wind could send her off like a tumbleweed, but I feel the density of her own body can regulate itself, depending on certain conditions? covered in fine fuzz, her nubby hands (tentacles?) hold things like itty bitty hooks

can't digest foods unless in the form of fluids, probably likes bland foods tbh. anything too flavorful would make her head explode

y'know maybe her species is. delicious. their "flesh" tastes like space mango, but cotton candy weight & texture 💀

some of the concepts I refer to for the most challenging and frustrating of the alien bunch, and today's look of her as I also went through & played with various designs

this version of Sta'abi is dropped on Earth to manage her "anger issues". her peers decided she needed to chill out, which is coincidentally the same day a vornicarn is brought into the world. as a hunter, she would've killed on sight, but after helping to capture it and being held captive by Area 5X herself, she starts to empathize with and eventually befriend the creature

Coverton eventually gets her to somewhat roam free in the facility and offers her a way off world but only if she helps him with his plans. he's not completely transparent about them and Sta'abi just wants to leave, she's already familiar with the empire he works for so there's some trust in his word

the males of her species have wings? is that canon? I feel like it's canon.. but in modern days they're just for show, can't fly but can glide and catch wind to hover, though only for so long as they're mostly small

none of these concept art belong to me btw if that wasn't obvious I just took them from the wiki

came from the only egg that survived the initial meteor crash & wasn't frozen to death, laid dormant and got covered in the antartic ice until global warming exposed it millions of years later (which scientists soon discover but let the monster agents investigate as they have alien consultants)

instead of Link's nose I really hammed up the alien parody for my own indulgence haha (blood cw; initial drawings + non-canon chest bursting)

steals coverton's chocolate either when he's not looking or right in his face, probably doesn't like baths, loves chin/neck scratches & belly rubs (only from Sta'abi)

smells with the tip of his tongue, bipedal & quadrupedal, not great at hearing

skin is scaly like a snake, full of muscle

can and will survive in all extreme environments except the desert? for heat & hydration reasons mayhaps as he can't withstand both at once

some of these may change with time and I'd love to read everyone else's hcs! or how you'd rewrite them perhaps :]

since you made it to the very end you're obligated to tell me your favourite alien 🫵

#monsters vs aliens #mva headcanons #mva series #mva show #coverton monsters vs aliens #sta'abi monsters vs aliens #sqweep monsters vs aliens #vornicarn #yeah safe draws stuff #yeah safe answers stuff #mva reboot #this is for you anon i had much to think and scratch my head about!!#sorry it took so long 😭

I'm so sorry, all of you, I really am, because I know this is a roleplay blog, not a personal blog.

But my sister's cat, Link, had to be rushed to an emergency vet like an hour or two ago. Turns out it's a serious emergency -- he's completely blocked up and can't urinate, at all. The emergency vet charged $175 just for him to be seen, and it's $623 just to unblock him so that we can wait until the morning to take him to our usual vet.

We had $600 to work with.

He's only 9 years old. He's my sister's baby, and one of her two emotional support animals. He means the world to her, and the estimate they gave her for them to treat him was between $700-$1200. But what hurts most of all is that she had to tell them not to resuscitate him if his heart stops under the anesthesia while they're unblocking him, because they would have charged an additional $350 just to do CPR on him.

I'm so sorry, I really am, I'm so sorry. We don't have the money right now to take him to the vet tomorrow. I know it's asking a lot, but if you can't donate anything, if possible I just want to ask if some of you would be willing to spread this around.

If any of you are able to donate, just let me know in an Ask or DM or something, and I'll do something, anything to pay you back. I can't offer much, but I'd be happy to write or draw you something of your choice. But if you aren't able to donate, that's completely okay -- I know times are hard for a lot of us out there, and I'm sorry, I wish there was another way for us to take care of this, I really do. I'm so sorry.

My Paypal email is [email protected], under the name Carol Phillips. If you need any proof of what's going on, I'll do my best to get it for you, whether it be showing the texts between my sister and myself, or taking a picture of the bill when my sister gets home, hopefully with Link with her.

#Out of the Flames #I'm so sorry I really am -- I know this is a big negative thing to put on a blog that's supposed to be for fun #TW: Animal Illness #CW: Animal Illness

Inside Job S2 spoilers

I thought I was going to be disappointed about Rand from the trailer S2 clips, that showed he was was mostly going to use his cognito position to get Tamiko and Reagan back on his side, instead of flexing his power more or causing more choas against the black robes and the world.

But I watched season 1 and season 2 earlier back to back. And honestly I think the wait between seasons made me forget some of Rand's better moments and his desperation for Reagan to still appreciate him. Don't get me wrong he was a neglectful father at best and an emotionally abusive father at worst, but I think at the very least he knows that he was.

Like the season 1 ending, now that it's fresher in my memory, felt like he was doubling down because he got found out for wiping Orin and molding Reagans future, acting like he doesn't care that this is upsetting his daughter even though he spent most of the time in Reagans mind trying to shield her from what he did. I don't think he's blind or even that purposefully blind to the fact he's been a shite dad- but the main problem is how adamant he is that that was the old Rand and now things can go back to "normal". Normal - being what he's always wanted instead of what's right.

Cause I watched S2 right after, I'm more accepting of how much he tried to get Tamiko back for most of the season; it feels like he was overcompensating to be seen as successful as a leader but also as a man - the next step in his mind probably would have been getting Reagan to let him in again cause it would be proof that he's 'completely different now and I have your mum back' and all that. I get the vibe, especially by the end of the season, that he'll only have proper confirmation that he's a guy worthy of basic care from himself when he finally, unquestionably (in his view) feels appreciated by everyone he cares about- which was always gonna fail.

The project reboot ending sort of cemented it. I loved that moment between him and Reagan so much, and his anxious desperation in trying to get love from his family like he'd attempted through the season, but this time with dangerous consequences and in solitude where he can't think to look after himself until he's achieved his goal, hit hard and in a way hit close to home.

I'm glad Reagan didn't forgive him for all his old or new shitty behaviour, and I'm very glad that generally this show doesn't undermine what Reagan went through by trying to prove Rand isn't so bad after all or anything like that. But I think it was the best arc conclusion I can think of that she told him he wouldn't have to do it alone, encouraged him to try and shut down the machine and afterwards got him safe - and fairly, subsequently imprisoned with JR. It's the kind of calm, automatic support you feel when someone, especially a family member, who's hurt you so many times, is at their most self destructive moment, and despite everything you only want to help cause you still don't want to see them like that; it's gruesomely relatable.

I don't know if Rand will accept that he can't right a lot of his wrongs while he's a prisoner, but I really hope he does around next season. I still wish there was more moments of Rand being an egomaniac and even becoming more paranoid like he was alluded to being before JR fired him. But personally I'm okay with there being less angst in his arc, though I know some are more disappointed than me which is totally fair. I enjoyed this season and, hopefully, I'll be able to draw something nice for it lol.

Sorry for long read.

Well I wanted to go to work today. I fully planned on it! I was not feeling amazing but I woke up and got dressed and was about to put my shoes on when Alexi texted that it was snowing at camp and we should stay home. Oh. Okay. There were flurries outside which was pretty but I was very confused about this snow day. But I'll take it.

I wasn't entirely sure if we were actually staying home though. The way she phrased it I was not sure if I should be ready to head in later. But I wanted to be ready so I did not fall asleep. At least not for a while.

James has packed me breakfast and lunch and we're downstairs doing their thing. And I was a little unsettled and not feeling amazing. I wasn't exactly sure what to do with myself. So even though I didn't want to go back to sleep I did get in bed. I was very cold.

I would spend the first hour drawing and being cozy. James went to the museum to get a free bagel from the new bagel store that opened today. And would stay for a bit to help them with a weird school group issue. But I'm glad they were able to help and were safe biking in the wet snow outside.

I would wander around the house a bit. I decided we should move some of the boxes in the studio with my knickknacks to the small room for now. But I only got one box up before I got super tired. I am doing better but I am still so weak. And get so winded so quickly. Which is not fun for me at all. It makes me feel terrible. But I did my best.

I would end up falling asleep for a little. James would come back and I would be out. Just dead asleep. And that made me feel a lot better. When I woke up I finally had some work to do. Elizabeth needed me to edit a PDF and Alexi let us know we would be a part of a meeting at 1. Excellent. While I waited for the meeting I had some ice cream and worked on a drawing for Valentine's day. Which I will print tomorrow.

James would go for a bike ride during my meeting. And it was a nice little meeting about volunteering and how we're going to structure the program. I asked if I could do some research about trainings we could have them do to make the program more well rounded. It was nice to see Sarah and Alexi. Poor Sarah was struggling really hard with her connection but we made it through. And I spent the next hour or so researching and working on a few things.

James would take the car to go get some more stuff from the apartment. We are coming up on there only being some stuff left. Which is nice. Still some books to pack but I'm really happy with the progress. I hope next week to fill holes and clean. And then move my fishtanks. We are going to hopefully buy their new table this weekend at IKEA. I'm really looking forward to having furniture.

While James was gone I attempted to hang the curtain rods in our bedroom. Which went semi successfully but I got very very dizzy having my hands over my head. When James got back they helped me finish them and I really appreciated that.

They brought my table for my band saw back and I got that in place in the basement. And we worked to put more stuff away. Sweetp continues to run around on the vents in the basement. I hung a few pictures in the bedroom. James was downstairs making me something for Valentine's Day. So I was sequestered upstairs for a bit. But that was okay.

Eventually I ran out of steam. I felt gross. I tried my theory about turning the sink on to get the shower to work and it worked? Like it's still not hot but it's so much warmer and I was able to actually comfortably wash my hair and didn't feel rushed or anything. It's still not perfect but it's so much better. And it was really nice being clean.

I hung out in bed for a long time after that. James would make us spaghetti for dinner and we sat together in the living room watching a video about RL Stein. James telling me memories about being a kid and borrowing goosebumps from the library. The pasta didn't taste like much, because my sense of taste is all messed up still, but the love was there.

I wanted to sort the rest of the art we have in the ground but I just didn't have the energy. Instead coming upstairs. It is going to be so nice when we have a sofa downstairs but for now, the bed is good enough.

James is having their book club with their friends. Jess is on a first date. And I am thinking about going to sleep early.

Tomorrow is valentine's day! James and me are going to have special pizza at home. But I hope to have a nice day at work first. I love you all. I hope you are feeling good tonight.

i can put my tv into a sort of rest mode so leaving it on isnt too difficult.

i wonder if the tv messes with their dreams or something.

constant static or something

I'd need to look into this more, but the idea that the TV messes with their dreams is a pretty cool idea, I think itd only affect Wally though, he and home are the only ones aware about being in a show! (Id like to say, at least) I'll think about it more! I'd say Wally would be in a very bad mental and physical state due to the lack of rest he is able to get.

Maybe he is able to get sleep when the show stops displaying on tv?

Hmm.. got me thinking.. honestly.. I cant give you an answer to whether or not itd effect Wallys dreams and sleep... paranoia, and dread for the next episode might reduce the performance of his sleep, however.

Thankyou! Hopefully I can draw this soon!

A Bright Start

Hey there, minigun fights. All right, I'd like to do a little experiment here. I'll get to the actual theme of this experiment when we finish! Let's just enjoy the ride 'til then, eh? So then! Well, we've reviewed one marketed-to-girls '80s cartoon-turned-comic series. Why not another one? No, not the one you're thinking of!

Here's the cover:

Yeah! Are you surprised? Did you even know there was a modern Rainbow Brite reboot? This is honestly a pretty good glow-up, transitioning the character from the cute cartoony style to a realistic one without actually losing any of the charm or what made it work. Really good! Love the shading, too! I think the dramatic lighting effects and the nostalgia factor will snag in the readers alone with this one. And the character design is appealing enough that it should hopefully draw in new readers! Hopefully… (This is foreshadowing.)

So we open with a fantasy novel being read. It's not even one of those "in media res" things that leads to a fake-out, you're blatantly shown the novel as it opens. It's your standard "Oh, the evil forces, including a dragon and a skeleton army, are attacking! Who can save the poor peasant people??" And then, of course, two heroes appear! It's Willow, the wizard, and Wisp, the warrior! Magic and melee! Swordfighter and spellcaster! Your classic duo! And as they begin to fight off the vast hordes of evil, Willow can hear her name being called.

See, turns out Willow and Wisp are a pair of kids in standard suburbia. I dunno who's naming their kids "Wisp", but she is a blonde-haired white girl, so it kind of tracks. Maybe it's short for Wispethany or Wispamantha. Anyway, it's Wisp outside yelling for Willow to come play pretend with her. Fittingly, it's wizards and warriors again, so this must be a mutual thing they're into. Willow yells back that it's called LARPing, and Wisp doesn't care, just come play. So Willow goes charging outside, after briefly being waylaid by her strict-seeming parents.

The two friends meet up, and Wisp gushes over Willow's newly finished wizard robe. Wisp also wants to make herself armour, noting she wants to actually learn to forge it. Okay, this kid is definitely cool. The pair head out in the woods to do their pretends, although they don't get too far into it before Wisp gets hungry. So they head back home, do more pretend, and it honestly takes me back to when I was a kid. Both solo and with myself or the neighbour kids, I played a lot of pretend. Eventually, though, it's time for Wisp to go home.

Wisp is dropped off at her house, and her mom is already asleep on the couch, having left a note and dinner for Wisp. Wisp even does her own dishes, brushes her teeth, and is just about to get ready for bed when she hears a noise outside. Despite the rain, Wisp fetches her wooden sword and heads out to see what's banging around. And what she finds is some bizarre, formless shadowy creatures. They've drained all the colour out of her mom's blue car. Undaunted, Wisp readies her blade. And then the creatures notice Wisp is also wearing blue…

They lunge for her, and Wisp slips from their grip and strikes one in the face. They're rather surprised that she's able to both see and hit her, so they begin a chase. Wisp slips off down the street, and while running, she encounters something even stranger than the formless beings. It's a little floating man or creature with white hair, a belt bag, and star-tipped antennae. He introduces himself as a sprite named Twinkle, and at least acknowledges that meeting a sprite is unusual for her. I'm more shocked Wisp can keep up as much conversation as she does while running for her life.

Twinkle gives a bit of an exposition dump that somehow also fails to convey anything: the Guardian of Blue was recently captured, so the King of Shadows has sent his minions to drain blue from anything they can. While it's not immediately useful, it might explain some things. Rather than ditch her shirt and run around topless--which might lead to a very different comic--Wisp asks if there's any other way to stop the minions. Twinkle suggests a bright enough source of white light might fizzle them out, and Wisp gets an idea.

She continues her run down the street, heading for Willow's house. Willow's folks have a security system installed, which includes some automatic floodlights, and she reasons that might be enough to beat back the shadows. Hearing her friend's shouts, Willow awakens and sees what's going on in her yard. Thinking quickly, she uses her LARPing staff to smash the window, which triggers the security system and floodlights. The very bright lights cause the shadows to disappear--and Wisp disappears too! Willow and her parents find the yard empty except for Wisp's sword, and Wisp instead finds herself in a grayed-out landscape as Twinkle welcomes her to Rainbow Land.

Well! As an issue one, this is a great start. Very much the start of any sort of adventure cartoon like I remember in my youth. A kid or two, they encounter a villain's minion encroaching in the real world, they get whisked off (or perhaps, wisped off?) to another world for magical adventures. You've seen it a million times, but honestly, it's a winner of a setup. It two-fold gets you invested in seeing where it goes next.

Hello,

I have ADHD and I’m really having trouble with getting things done. Not just school, but also my own personal things, like writing for my blog and drawing/doing art projects. And this is stuff that I really, really want to do, but I just can’t force myself to start even when I really want to. Even if I do manage to open the document or set up the art project, I get distracted or procrastinate, and end up getting very little, sometimes nothing done. It’s really starting to affect me; I haven’t posted on my blog in months and I have asks to fill out, and I can’t get better at drawing because I can never make myself do it even when I really want to.

Do you have any tips on how to get started when you have ADHD?

—🍄

Hi there!

Thank you for getting in touch with us here at MHA! Living with ADHD and the way it affects our daily lives can be really difficult and I really relate to your struggles of finding the motivation to get projects started. Hopefully, I'll be able to give you a little bit of advice!

Firstly I think it's important to break things down into separate tasks and only focus on one thing at once - I mean that in two senses. So, you said a few things you want to get done, writing for your blog, art projects, and improving your drawing. When dealing with ADHD it can be really easy to get overwhelmed by having too many things to do, it gets stressful because you want to do all of those things at once but don't know where to start. So begin by picking one thing and focusing on that, the other things can go on a to-do list for another day! Then only one thing is your main focus for the day. Next is to split up that one task into little ones, and make a step-by-step plan. This way you only have to do one small step at a time, then you can go and do other things and take a break and not be overwhelmed by having to do everything at once. Having that structure and seeing all the bits you need/want to do can really help with motivation to want to start doing little bits to tick off your list. I have found lists to be so helpful, I do them for nearly everything now!

The next thing is when you want to get a task done, approach it when you're feeling good and calm. If you're already feeling not so great and/or stressed, trying to start a project can just make it worse. So before you want to get on with something, take a little time for yourself, make yourself a cup of tea, have a nice long bath, and get nice and relaxed. Once you're relaxed and in a good headspace then motivation can be much easier to find.

In terms of procrastinating and getting distracted, is there somewhere you can go where there won't be any distractions? For example, when I want to study, I go to the library rather than at home because I know it'll be quiet and there won't be so much to distract me. I also find positive reinforcement can be good for battling procrastination. Tell yourself 'Once I've got task x done then I can watch an episode of my favorite show' or something like that - reward yourself for getting something done because you should be proud of yourself!! You could also consider finding a friend or someone to do things with - like you and a friend could do a little art project together. I find having someone else involved really helps me with my motivation.

I think most importantly, don't beat yourself up about it. It can be frustrating and we can feel down and a bit useless if we can't get done all of the things we want to - but be kind to yourself as much as you can. Living and coping with ADHD on a day-to-day basis can be hard, so show yourself some patience and celebrate every bit of progress you make!

I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do let us know if we can help to support you in any other way! Keep smashing it!

Take care,

Rhiann xo

So. This sucks, but...

I only have 24 hours left until I will lose all access to my devices at home, everything, and have to go to America on an 11 hour flight.

As such, I'll be very briefly pausing work on art requests and focus on my own art and whatnot.

I'm still accepting art requests in my ask inbox and taking asks in general, but just be aware that I won't be able to work on them for a while, if not little by little.

These requests will most likely stay open indefinitely as a way to give myself something to do and a way to improve as an artist. I'm fine with periodic resubmissions of characters. I also just love seeing the things that yall throw in there, so keep it coming.

This is the main part over. Gets venty below. Be warned, but it's nothing more than expressing my dislikes for my current situation.

You won't be missing out on anything important by not clicking on it.

I'm genuinely unhappy about this.

But that's that, and this is this, so for the time being I won't be working on requests and instead will focus on personal art and gift art I previously intended on doing. I'll resume progress on all the asks I've gotten that require drawing once I'm settled down in the States.

If I could have avoided this trip, I would have. Unfortunately, this is the reality of my situation and I'll effectively be unable to do anything for some time, but hopefully not for long.

It's the fact my parents *lied to me* about everything that makes this hurt more. The fact I won't have anything. Nor anyone to go to thanks to my timezone changing. It, honestly, feels more like I'm just being relocated to a different prison facility.

I hate that I'm used to dealing with such deep-rooted problems. But I won't cry, or get all sad and sorrowful about it. But I'm allowed to be upset at things. And I hate that my parents make it so that I'm not even allowed that privilege.

But I'll keep expressing my hatred for it all, because I don't want to be silenced.

Whatever. I hate it when I find myself doing this.

Planes and airports are fun, but I don't like them despite that.

HI LIS !! There's just *something* with the way you organize and do your themes that looks soooo pleasant to visually look at. Not too much and not too less: just right ! ♪

Mhm, this is not hate in any way, shape, or form but I do think the same as well! There is something off about the icon,,,, perhaps the way it's illustrated? That's my guess on it, but you know there's this Trick or Treat card as an alternative, if it's any better !! Still bat motif ^_^

OMG a lil sun... Wow,, heart eyes,, thank you,,, ACTUALLY that is what i think of you. You're very warm and welcoming, it's like your space is a safe haven, no terrors on sight. Just 2wink. I even think of you like yuta in my head while i'm trying to type up messages (admittedly am a person that associates people with their pfps),,,

It's like "Yoohoo!! You have discovered a 2wink secret hideout, would you try to enter it?? There's silly stuff and a nice owner!! " You're not exactly someone that produces some kind of content on your main but there is something!! Rambles aren't frequent, but I love your blog in a way that it draws me to it. To sit down in the little cafe it has and stay. I do not know how to word it properly, but despite the similarities on how main blogs operates, a force of gravity is tugging me here. I hope you get what I mean?? Hopefully!! :')

ALSO Now that I think about it, there's a possibility you could have given me the butterfly emoji if not for me exempting the insects (because they're definitely one of the prettiest emojis to you,, maybe? Apologies if I have mistaken !!) Just so happens they're creatures am afraid of ><

Thank you, as always. <3 Remember that you're special to lots of people if ever you're feeling down !! Best wishes~ My brain wants to go philosophical and say that "Life is Beautiful, but Living it is Not" but I'll wrap things up here for now<3 (actually i am insane i will go send a second ask maybeee)

— 🌻.

+ another ask;

SO. Hi again <3 second ask, as promised. Entirely unsure what to write the moment i tried typing </3

I forgot to tell you that I wish you good luck on your second theme !! <3 Me too, idk how to put a catrin on Mika's face since it's pretty much detailed (<— person who suggested the idea but doesn't know how to execute it) STILL if it's difficult for you, there's a lot of halloween theme options, just in case !!

If it's not too intrusive (?) or maybe privy, please tell me about your day !! good things or bad things, any is fine ! Really. If you want to ramble about it, or get something off for a short while. Though you can choose not to, I understand <3

(Even if it is not about your day, I don't mind you talking about something else ! I just wanted to be able to say something in my future messages !! If that's okay, you know ♪ and feel free to ask things !!)

Some things to share from my side : i am terribly scared of the next featured scout announcement especially the next Event,, rei did not come home and gambling my poor 1k dias might not be the best option !! Love is not real,, I feel your mirage yuta pain so much. Cries. Love does wonderful things like losing dias without having pulled your fave! <///3 It's funny though, he hates me (pretends to not cry).

See you in a bit ! ~

— 🌻.

I decided to reply to both of them in the same ask www I hope you don't mind. BUT HI HII, I HOPE YOU'RE DOING GREAT !!

Please, my themes are just.. themes. there's not a lot going on around (and I take a lot of inspiration out of my friends' themes. have you seen qian's or soren's? uuuu I fall to my knees when I enter to their blogs). And it's ok !! you don't have to feel bad or anything for the criticism, I love scaredy bat Yuu with all my soul but I may try the trick or treat one to see if it's any better 👀

AND,, WAHH. I'm not a sun at all, I actually always considered myself a bit dark. If anything, I'm a moon,, my name kinda comes from the moon so cough lis lore but it makes me really happy that you see me that way !! My blog is currently a 2wink space because I've been very obsessed with them lately...

Honestly it wasn't like that before? Kureibee used to be above them before. Valkyrie too at some point. I always loved 2wink but seeing how they slowly became my top 1 is like "woaH how did this happen? when did they arrive here?" Sometimes I want to believe they chose me (as explained in my 2winkversary ramble (yes I'm cringe))

And ! yeah I never intended to produce anything on my main. Main is just that y'know? I've had this account since 2018 and I've gone through s lot of phases and fandoms, but I'm really comfortable with the community I'm into right now !! I miss a lot of people that were active in enstars fandom aprox a year ago, though... but I hope they're ok.

YYESS, I would've loved to give you a butterfly honestly, but I understand your reasons ! I am very scared of bugs too, though with the years I've been controlling that fear little by little; now I actually love a lot of them ! I learned to appreciate the harmless (← important clarification) little spiders, moths, butterflies, BEES. specially bees. the other day I saw a dragonfly in my school and oh my god they're HUGE I thought they were small,, but it was so pretty ! I'm still scared of, y'know, the horrors. Venomous spiders, wasps, roaches,,, shakes. Also crickets are harmless but they're so horrible oh my god I don't like them (and obviously the list goes on but I believe you get the idea). Sunflower is still fitting though!! Or at least I think so, I really hope you're comfortable with my decision.

Thank you for your good wishes ;; you're really caring and cool, I wish you the best too ! And it's ok, I'm a really philosophical person too. I used to study philosophy when I studied psychology too.. there's a lot going on there.

ー・ー・ー　♡　ー・ー・ー

NOW to the second ask !

Thank you, honestly idk either, I may mix it with other things? It's been a long time since I had a theme of another franchise other than enstars omg.. I think the last one was. at the beginning of the year. I would like to design catrinas based on different characters though 👀 the face paint can vary a looot so I'd like to have a bit of fun with it. (honestly sad that people associate the celebration with Coco thanks to Disney 💧 I mean the movie was cool honestly but. you can't search for culture accuracy in a fantasy movie for kids and I think foreigners don't understand that sometimes 0(-( the best representation we've gotten comes from Monster High I believe. I treasure Skelita with my entire SOUL she was one of my faves when I was little).

You're really kind really wahh. I don't have much to talk about, my life is like a. spiral that goes down. constantly.. I don't want to sadden you or anything, but at least I'm ok !! I have a ton of homework and it's like 💥 but at least I like my classes ! I'm making a painting inspired on Undertale and my next engraving will be Omori themed (and I also want to make an artiswitch one because I lack creativity rn 0(-( ). I have to decide what to make for my drawing final project though. It can be anything, that's what my teacher said, but I want something. something good, something pretty.

Please feel free to come by anytime though!! you're s beloved anon and I'll always welcome you here <3 don't worry about the topic, it can be anything you like.

AND OOOH, anon lore, so you're a ReiP I see? 👀 No because I can't believe Yuta didn't come in 100 pulls, we're over. Now I'm a proud HinataP (Hina loves me for some reason. at least I have his two event scouts.. his FS didn't treat me kindly though). I HOPE YOU GET YOUR REI. grabbing him by the ears and throwing him violently to your account. He will love you. I will make sure he does.

Also as a fun fact, I have this KanataP friend and he pulled trying to get the Kanata 4* and GUESS WHAT. two copies of Rei FS2 in *INDIVIDUAL PULLS* but not s single Kanata. (He also pulled Natsume FS and Yuta FS in the anniv free pulls. Two of my faves and specifically the cards I don't own of them. I blocked him that day, I was so mad with his luck fr).

I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING DAY !! Or had,, I don't know your timezone, it's night here though.

For Secrets Ask 📒📔💃🐇🌜 for Yuulan, Farron, Taima, and Danica. Sorry it's so long.

(A/N: Lowkey, long asks are my fav. I just need a little extra time to finish them. 😊)

OC Secrets Ask Here

📒- For a secret journal/diary they keep (Bonus: Share an entry from it!)

Yuulan's Diary Entry ~ November 30th

Saw Tsunotaro again this evening. He seemed in low spirits but when I asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't tell me but he did ask me something kinda odd. He asked me if I were to have a birthday party, would I invite him. I told him my birthday already passed but if I were to have a party, of course, I'd invite him. That seemed to make him happy and we went on our usual evening walk together. I guess there was something he wasn't invited to and that's why he's feeling down. I get it, it sucks feeling left out of things and I usually feel very left out around here since I can't use magic or fly on a broom. I don't know how much Tsunotaro knows about me or my situation, but I think I'm gonna keep that to myself for the time being, who knows what he'd think if he knew how useless I really am. But I do think I'll invite him for tea sometime soon, hopefully.

📔- For a secret sketchbook they keep (Bonus: Share a sketch or doodle within it!)

Yuulan doesn't really keep a sketchbook but she does doodle a lot in her notebook. Most of her doodles consist of drawings of Grim, random patterns and designs and Mickey.

💃- For a talent that they like to keep hidden from others

For reasons unknown to her, Yuulan has strong proficiency in languages. This is a holdover from her Scala training as one thing she was taught was various languages used in the different worlds outside her home. She's able to pick up on languages pretty easily and understand words only after hearing them a few times.

🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)

Not sure how much of a "secret" it is, but Yuulan is very attached to the holiday card Malleus gave to her, ESPECIALLY after she realized the truth about his identity.

🌜- For a ‘weird’ habit or tic that no one knows about

Chewing on the tips of her braids when she's anxious or deep in thought. She's pretty good about not doing this in public but when she's back in her room, she does this a lot. Surprisingly, Grim has never seen her do this.

Everyone else's under the cut! ❤

📒- For a secret journal/diary they keep (Bonus: Share an entry from it!)

Farron’s Diary Entry ~ October 24th (His Freshman Year)

I think I just made a very big mistake. That mockup I made for Vil-san’s new stage outfit, he found it. I was foolish and left it on the dressform right in front of the closet in our club meeting room, thinking no one would stop by after we were done meeting for the day. Well, I expected him to be extremely critical of my work since it was, really, ametrauish at best. But to my surprise, he said it was adequate and, even more surprisingly, that I have a lot of potential! I’m supposed to have a chat with him tomorrow afternoon, no, this is bad bad BAD! I’ve done well so far not drawing attention to myself, what if Vil-san decides I should be a part of the Film Research Club as MORE than an assistant?! Oh Sevens, I don’t want to think about it! And I don’t want a repeat of middle school, I just want to sew in peace without worrying about judgement. Is that so much to ask?

📔- For a secret sketchbook they keep (Bonus: Share a sketch or doodle within it!)

Unlike Yuulan, Farron does keep a sketchbook, filled with designs of outfits he’d like to create in the future. He mostly draws his outfits modeled by either Vil or Sidonie.

💃- For a talent that they like to keep hidden from others

Singing, most of his friends know he plays piano very well but he can also sing too. (seriously, have you heard his voice claim sing?! Farron could have easily been part of the NRC tribe if he wanted to!) But his reserved nature keeps him from showing off this talent and plus he’d rather be known for his fashion design. Also, Pomefiore already has enough songbirds.

🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)

Farron has a signed photo of Vil that Vil personally autographed for him at a fan event a few years before they started NRC. Farron is unsure if Vil actually remembers meeting him and lowkey, he kinda doesn’t want to ask since they’ve developed a very amiable, borderline queerplatonic relationship. But Farron did bring the photo with him to NRC and held onto it during orientation, as a goodluck charm since he really wanted to be sorted in Pomefiore. And it looks like the charm worked.

🌜- For a ‘weird’ habit or tic that no one knows about

Not really a “weird” habit per say, but each morning when Farron wakes up, he begins his morning by whispering affirmations to himself. He’s done this since beginning NRC in order to help with his confidence.

📒- For a secret journal/diary they keep (Bonus: Share an entry from it!)

Taima’s Diary Entry ~ November 5th

Well that sucked more than it had to. Classes A and D had joint P.E. again today which meant having to once again deal with the cabbage-head! Ugh! Why is he so…so…just thw way he is?! Ever since the spelldrive tournament, he has been pestering me about apologizing to him. For what, I have no idea since it’s his own damn fault Scarabia came in last! I really tried to ignore him but Ace decided to be a jackass and invite him to stretch with us. He knows we’re always at each others throats and I think it’s just entertainment for him. When he wasn’t berating me for my form, or being a human, he was openly comparing me to Malleus. Such an unfair comparison since, after all, I AM human and Malleus-sama is an all-powerful fae prince! Ugh why is he like this?! But I will admit, even if Sebek does get on my last nerve, he’s at least entertaining. And Epel let me in on a secret: Sebek is half-human himself! So I dare him to call me human again in an insulting way, I’ll have such a surprise waiting for him!

📔- For a secret sketchbook they keep (Bonus: Share a sketch or doodle within it!)

Taima doesn’t really keep a sketchbook but she does doodle a lot in her notebook, mostly chibis.

💃- For a talent that they like to keep hidden from others

Taima can play the harp a little, something she picked up from her mother. She’s pretty good with it but she’s also not much for playing intsruments and would rather leave that to Lilianne, preferring dancing.

🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)

Now, absolutely NO ONE knows about this, but Taima has a little plush frog from her childhood that she still sleeps with. She keeps it hidden in a special drawer in her room and takes him out whenever she’s stressed or about to sleep. It was a toy one of her aunts gave her when she was a baby and she’s still attached to it.

🌜- For a ‘weird’ habit or tic that no one knows about

Giving people secret names/nicknames. Kind of like how Rook and Floyd give people nicknames but Taima keeps all of her nicknames for people to hearself or in her phone’s contact list.

📒- For a secret journal/diary they keep (Bonus: Share an entry from it!)

Danica’s Diary Entry ~ December 30th

Today was my last day in Sunset Savanna. All in all I had a fun time and it was nice seeing Lili again. But I saw someone else there too. Me, her and Taima were hanging out in the marketplace this afternoon and guess who we saw? Rook-san! We ran into Rook! He said he was home for the holiday too, idk for some reason I thought he was from Shaftlands like me and Vil. Either way, Taima and Lilianne convinced me I should hang out with him this evening so we did. We went to his family’s villa but we were the only ones there, we talked a lot. Somehow I felt less anxious being around him like this than when we’re at school. It’s easier thinking of him as just another guy and not my vice dorm leader. I did notice him staring at me a lot. He...really has such pretty eyes, and a very kind smile. He smiles a lot, but something about how he smiles at me is very…very…

📔- For a secret sketchbook they keep (Bonus: Share a sketch or doodle within it!)

Unfortunately, Danica doesn’t keep a sketchbook, according to her, she is artistically challenged and rarely draws.

💃- For a talent that they like to keep hidden from others

Danica wouldn’t really consider this a “talent” but she fancies herself something of an ameatur poet. She has a separate journal for writing her verses but considering she’s already very bashful about her known skills, she’d rather this hobby be kept to herself.

🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)

Her music box, I’ve mentioned it once before but Danica has a music box that her sister gave to her on her 12th birthday, a few months before she died. She listens to it when she’s alone in her room and this is the song it plays.

🌜- For a ‘weird’ habit or tic that no one knows about

One weird habit Danica has is always arranging her items by color because according to her, that makes it easier for her to match things. Many of her accessories, jewelry and school supplies are set aside in separate containers based on their color.

hiii zuzu. work has been... draining. hanging out with little kids all day takes it out of you. i did meet a little girl though, her names jeni. she loves lemons and piggy back rides. she's so sweet. anyways, how have you been? hopefully good, and if not, things will always get better. i see you've gotten yelan, congrats! i'm sure she's happy to come home. :)

(not so) daily genshin thought woohoo! i feel like kazuha would be a bit picky with his likings of poems.. for example, when certain poets describe blood as, "roses pooling beneath your feet," he always rolls his eyes at the choice of words and gets fussy. "it's blood, and i know i see blood when i scrape my knee, not a plant. it's always going to be blood regardless of what metaphor you use against it." he claims. he believes that, yes, poets should be able to describe things and themselves as they want. it's just too cheesy for his liking.

-💌

hey hey! it's nice to hear from you 🥰 but yeah, tell me about it... i'm the oldest of four and my youngest brothers (twins) are eight years old. kids are .. really something, i'll tell you that 🧍🏽but she sounds so cute 🥺 also heh, thanks, yelan rlly made my day 🕺🏽

the idea of kazuha drawing a line in the sand when it comes to cheesy things... who knew he had it in him? (he probably half-glares at you when you mock him for it 🥺)

#z anon #💌 anon #kazuha being picky about stuff is a really cute concept #especially since its kinda canon

Welcome Home: Halloween Update

well hey would you look at that !! the website got updated for Halloween!! very very excited for what new stuff we've got this time

(also yes i know this update came out a while ago i just didnt have the time to check it out until now ok !?!?!? its been weighing on my mind since i found out about the update)

spoilers under the cut

lowkey got jumpscared from the change LOLOL

Wally is so cute!! and Home's little witch hat?? and the drawings on the rock too??? adorableee

OH MY GOD !! THEY CHANGED THE LITTLE PIXEL ANIMATIONS TOO???? IM EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE OTHER NEIGHBORS LOOK LIKE IN THEIR COSTUMES

ok heading over to the News page for more info on the update

OMG COOKBOOK PAGES??? what if i cooked these recipes. lets see what exactly they are before i'll decide on cooking them (or trying to cook them LOL)

'Our source has yet to send the full book. I don’t understand why. What is it worth to leave it out? Ripping out pages… What a waste. It takes so long to get everything off of them. Still, we’re patient, aren’t we. If you are reading this, please hurry.'

kinda ominous... i do wonder why they cleaned up and sent only a few pages maybe theres smth up w the whole book?? maybe they dont have the whole book ?? or maybe like, it was just like that and the book's pages are just separated and messed up very interesting

THERES A WALLY DARLING COSTUME?? NO WAY ?? dude its sooo insane how theres just so much merchandise and stuff for this show but its just all lost media like how did that happen?? only time will tell i guess

ooh and another audio recording !! im excited to check it out !! listening to the neighbors' chat and interact with each other is so entertaining

something big is on the way after Halloween, maybe a Christmas/New Years thing?

'Don’t forget to wave down below!' hmmmm sus past news updates have ended with 'don't forget to wave up high' so why is it different now? cuz its Halloween? maybe something to do with Wally's costume being that of a demon?? this change is very interesting

i dont have any idea what it could mean or why it changed, just that it is significant so i guess its time to move on

time to check out the merchandise page!!

omg !! so cute

first the cookbook

OMG ITS SO CUTE !! LOOK AT THEM THEYRE JUST SILLY LITTLE GUYS !!

oh my god. the little rice crispies in the shape of the neighbors faces. GRAHH SO CUTE !!! also Poppy and Sally !!

FRANK AND JULIE !!! also Julie is SLAYING that outfit i want to have that too

now i want to make these. hopefully i'll be able to in the future

how did Wally get even CUTER WTFFF also Barnaby as the caramel apple thats so. it fits him very well

next is the storybook record

yo !! this is an AWESOME cover !! also everyone's costumes?? SALLY's costume?!?!? she is SLAYING that look tbh

wait im laughing at the crispy sweets cereal LMFAOO it was endorsed by them so it makes sense but it just looks so out of place

"However, this particular audio rip skips at 16:56 and quickly jumps past Sally’s dialogue to 18:51. Although the sound between these times is incomprehensible noise, we have transcribed what we could." interesting, i wonder what sorts of secrets are hiding in that alright time to listen

very creepy opening but that makes sense since its a halloween thing

SPITS OUT DRINK BUG SPOTTED i will click the bug after checking out all the new merchandise stuff

the bug is in the way of the transcript lmao

'The Macabre Menagerie of Monstrous Mischief-Making' so is that what Halloween is called in their universe? a fun but very long name lmao

"They ought to make one for the Narrator, though..." aww

the more Sally audio i listen to the more i love her

SALLY: [Scoffing] Oh please, dear narrator! Of course they have!

NARRATOR: Of course.

so the characters are aware of the Narrator?? damn then Sally and Poppy really shouldve made a treat for the Narrator

im laughing at the hesitation the Narrator has when declaring Barnaby's costume lmao??

im cackling

BARNABY: Oh yeah, the invitation said it was a Macaroni Macramé Marmalade Moose? I ain’t sayin’ all’a that, I think Terror n’ Treats is better. It’s got a little genie-say-quoff to it!

SALLY: Wha— t-that’s je ne sais quoi you— You beast!!

somehow Barnaby manages to annoy almost everybody pretty easily (and by everybody i mean Frank, Julie and Sally) its very entertaining

also i agree that Terror n' Treats is a banger name i think that the very long name is the name of the party and not the holiday but either way both names are very fitting for Halloween

the ba-dum-tss when Barnaby makes a pun is sooo funny

i think Sally is like the embodiment of that one tumblr post where its like 'we should normalize nicholasnames. extending names instead of shortening them' or smth its very funny

'Magnificently Marvelous, Majestically, Mystifying Macabre Menagerie of Momentously Monstrous Mischief-Making Celebration' im amazed at how Julie managed to make the already long name even longer AND keep the alliteration

'Is that my favorite regular over there? Gang way!' i ship

'Oh! Did Frank bring one of his fancy molds again?' I SHIP

the Narrator's voice sounds familiar but im not sure why

NARRATOR: Julie waved her hand up excitedly and- Was that thunder? It’s a beautiful day outside!

he sounds so shocked lmfao sounds like something realll spooky is going on

Eddie being the only one being jumpscared by Julie lmfao

WALLY: [Underneath the others’ laughter.] Ha. Ha. Ha. …I don’t get it. Ha. Ha. Ha. IM CACKLING LFMAO

HOWDY: You better believe it, Sal! -So there I was at the counter of Howdy’s Place!- The home of everything you need and everything you don’t, by the way- Just mindin’ the shop, wipin’ down the counters as I do. Admiring the array of wonderful products that you, too, can purchase and enjoy—

NARRATOR: I think we ought to save the advertisements for television, Howdy.

now i understand why he reminds me of an old-timey radio announcer because he's lowkey literally a walking advertisement and i can respect the dedication to be a real-life in-person midroll ad

Howdy sounds genuinely scandalized that his product got marked down so far it became 100% off also?? Eddie genuinely being afraid of this too?? im cackling

SALLY: You… can’t be serious!

HOWDY: As serious as a heart attack! I was practically GIVING IT AWAY! But what was the buy of the century left unbought?!

SALLY: [Laced with sarcasm.] I’m… dying to know.

HOWDY: It was… The very sheet I’m wearing!!

EDDIE: [Eddie screams again!] I knew it!!!

HOWDY: Available now for only… For only… 100% off! [Howdy lets out a sound of anguish as he begins to dramatically cry]

NARRATOR: Barnaby patted Howdy on the back as the caterpillar cashier cried into his shoulders. Maybe these stories are starting to get scary…

im laughing im cackling theyre so silly so funny

'He held the flashlight but it… It’s upside down. Barnaby could you turn that rightside- Oh, thank you.' HELP?? pls. love that

WALLY: Yesterday, I went on a walk. I saw a kite, stuck inside of a tree. When I kept walking, I saw Barnaby. He was practicing his ball-balancing tricks. Then, I saw Eddie delivering the mail to Poppy’s house.

[He paused.]

…Oh! I almost forgot. I also saw a bug, sitting on a leaf. It reminded me of Frank. After that, I turned around and went home.

SALLY: …And what part of that story was supposed to be scary?

WALLY: Oh. I don’t know if it was scary. I had a nice day.

FRANK: Well, I liked the part in your story about the bug, Wally.

this is so cute?? Wally's just the most a silly little guy the music while he was talking im laughing

SALLY: [Sally begins, her tone serious and grave.] Have you ever wondered… Why it is that we stay indoors every night?

oh im kinda scared of this now

'...It is because this town is rumored to have visitors at night… Something from deep within the forest, far beyond the hills and mountains… No one knows what it wants or where it’s going, just that it is persistent.. Just that it arrives here.' very interesting, wonder what it could be and how true it is

and now the audio's glitched out on 'what it is searching for' and it scared the crap outta me glitched out audio is scary as hell

oh wait what ?? the audio came back and it is very clear huh... i wonder why the restoration team couldnt hear it because its not in the transcript and they mention that the audio cuts out at 16:56 and comes back 18:51 and right now there is audio at around 17:16

fascinating

see look this is in the transcript instead of what shes saying right now

[Sally’s Audio is inaudible. If listeners can make out the audio, please help to decipher it with us and your fellow fans. Thank you.]

ok Sally's story about the supposed creature that comes up at night scared the shit out of me and what makes it scarier is how clear the audio is like it doesnt have any static-y noise like the rest of the audio, its very clear

then when she stops talking i was waiting for a jumpscare but it was just Poppy walking in with some treats

NARRATOR: Oh yes, thank you- To all you out there on this Terror N’ Treats night, eat plenty, be merry, and be careful… You never know what will come rustling and scratching into the night! Happy haunting and don’t forget to wave up high!

[The NARRATOR cackles villainously as the audio draws to a close.]

bro the Narrator's evil cackling is terrifying also !! 'don't forget to wave up high' !! it makes the inversion of it on the News page stand out more because its not just a Halloween thing, right??? this official Welcome Home merch storybook audio says it the way its always been said before, so why is the News update different???

very very interesting

well then time to move on to the final new merchandise

THE WALLY COSTUME !!! it looks so goofy LMFAO

truly amazing

now that ive seen everything on the merch page, time to check out the new bug video

the bug is cute tho but its a spider and i am afraid

its called listen

BARNABY: Oooh Sally, you’re killin’ me! So much gabbin’ just to explain why you’re dressed like a clown! …Come to think of it, I should’a known earlier— ya do look a bit funny t’me.

LMFAOO BARNABY !!!

ok so this seems to be a continuation of what happens after the storybook audio, or like at the very least connected to the party its all the neighbors chatting with each other which is very cute

the video started with the usual static that the other bug videos had, and the transcript says 'The camera (?)' so its safe to assume that this is from Wally's perspective

ok uh the video and audio started distorting um.

OH I JUST NOTICED THAT THE CARAMEL APPLE STARTED MOVING

zooms in randomly on the caramel apples in the shape of the characters

i think thats a Wally one behind the Howdy(??) one

a bite was taken out of the apple and no one was shown to have grabbed or bitten it so. i think this is canonical confirmation of Wally's weird thing where he stares at a food, blinks, and then theres a bite taken outta it cuz thats how he eats i guess??

hmm the transcript is a little interesting too, but i might just be reading too much into it

'[Visual ID: Something… Has happened to the apple. A bite has been taken out of it, I think.]'

'[There is a brief pause. What is he doing.]'

hmmm could Wally be the one writing these transcripts?? idk these little things remind me of the way that Wally talks (and of the things he's said before)

'[It sounds like Barnaby pats the camera.]'

further confirmation that its Wally's perspective

and like all the other bug videos, it ends with the audio glitching on Wally's name and static

wait ok so i went back to the distorted part and i thought it was weird that if the perspective WAS Wally, then why is the camera not looking at the apple?

and then i remembered that the video briefly zooms in on a caramel apple with Wally's face

and it might just be the video distortion but it looks like it blinks and after that the apple has a bite taken out of it

but thats obviously not Wally so maybe its more of a hint of whats really happened for anybody who doesnt know Wally bites with his eyes

well to end this on a less scary note and more of a spooky one,

!!! THE STICKERS OF THE NEIGHBORS IN THEIR COSTUMES!! SO CUTE !!

well, thats it for the Welcome Home Halloween update byebye !!

Art on the Internet

This is a bit unrelated to what I typically post, but It's something that I was thinking about since writing a previous post about changing my phone screen.

I feel like I don't appreciate the art I see on the internet enough. I see so many amazing pieces each day, and understand that most took hours to create. With that said, I spend only a few seconds appreciating them. I typically try to retweet any really good piece I see so that I can scroll back through my twitter to look at them, but there are too many to look back on and lots of the time I end up forgetting about those I love most.

The thing that really sparked this was when I was choosing art for my phone background. I ended up going with one of my favorite pieces of art, so It was one I had "memorized," but while looking for potential alternatives I found two pieces that caused me to kinda worry about how I was failing to remember pieces I loved.

The first was a painting of Miku that was meant to be a rainy day design. Her hair is in buns, my favorite alternate Miku hairstyle, and she has lots of cute details. There are flowers and raindrops in her hair, and she has umbrella earrings and a cloud hairpin. She is wearing an adorable blue dress and a pink undershirt with a blue ribbon as a belt. The colors of this piece are wonderful and overall Miku looks very adorable in it. It is probably one of my favorite pieces of art ever...and I had completely forgotten about it. I now have it saved as an alternate wallpaper, but It makes me worry about all of the other pieces I've potentially forgotten about.

The second piece is pretty much the same story. It was a piece that I couldn't stop thinking about for a period of time, that just completely left my mind. It's a collection of small drawings of Miku in her Hanami Outfit (the one designed by Rella) in a bunch of cute poses. I remember obsessively going back to this piece to look at it over and over again for at least a week just a few months ago. I shared it with all of my friends and liked it about as much as the official artwork by Rella. Then, when I was actually thinking of pieces of art to use for my phone wallpaper, I didn't remember it at all. I only found it again because it randomly showed up in suggestions while I was looking through Rella's PIXIV.

These are some of my favorite pieces of art, and when I had the opportunity to appreciate them again they didn't even come to mind. So many other amazing pieces had filled up the one place I use to save art that I forgot about them. I've created an actual "wallpapers" album on my phone now to save pieces I like enough to want as wallpapers, so hopefully it doesn't happen again. Still, I can't help but worry about there being other amazing pieces I've forgotten about. I don't exactly have the time to scroll through every single one of my retweets, so unless I dedicate time to it, I'll probably rely on pieces I see in the future to have as wallpapers.

This isn't really the type of post I necessarily want to occupy this blog, and it ended up being way longer than I meant for it to be. I just appreciate being able to get these feelings out. Honestly, however, I wrote this because I've been queueing posts (great feature btw) and I've been on a daily streak since starting this blog, but only have the phone screen post queued right now. I definitely haven't run out of Miku related things I want to post, like I said, I have a long history of instagram story posts I would like to expand on, I'm just experiencing the thing I mentioned in my "Unpacking" post where I get a bit overstimulated by my emotions, even positive ones. I wrote most of my previous posts all on one day only briefly after my initial day of unpacking. I haven't been able to work up the motivation to do much else, and I'm going to be away from home for the next few days. Basically, I got overstimulated from the excitement of unpacking and being able to write here and I haven't quite "recovered," and on top of that I won't even be able to unpack for the next few days due to me being busy. Overall it has me a bit bummed. I definitely want to unpack all of my figures so that I can go ahead and arrange my shelves, and I also want to write about a bunch more stuff on here.

Again I've made a post that completely goes off topic. Can you tell I like writing? I'm using writing as a way to relax from writing and ending up writing way more than I initially intended. Moral of the story: Artists please frequently repost your artwork, I want to see it. Next I'll most likely write about some goods I ordered recently, or something completely random and off topic. Who knows.
