Even though they don't need to hear it because they know already:
Here's a special mention to my denmates and online family. Love you all.

And for my friends out there: I care for you.

Just as much as I do all the rest of the year but also; Happy Valentine.

I'm pretty sure I was in line with a few streamers at some point during Vegas Fanfest but because I don't do well remembering faces unless I see you each day I can't tell.
I'm pretty sure Jessie was there. Maybe you...
pretty sure i passed by Guy Fieri in Vegas at fanfest and it's probably mundane because it wasn't actually him.
What is YOUR most mundane celebrity encounter?

Belle and Sebastian asked me to hold the elevator for them at a Holiday Inn in Paris, after a gig...

I care because I live in a country where none of this bullshit is illegal nor am I subject to US law and I'm still forced to follow US law when restrictions of this kind are actually unconstitutional with regards to the laws I DO have to abide with.
"Magus, why do you care if Discord/Tumblr/whatever platform restricts or removes NSFW features?"

Because I'm a trans person living in America, and these fascist fucks have been wanting to legally define trans existence as inherently obscene for years:

Age verification? I was there when the old laws were written!
Age Verification? I watched the unaltered versions of Star Wars on a VHS ripped from a TV Broadcast and had to fast forward through the commercial breaks.
Age verification? I was first in line at my local game store to pick up a new release called Pokémon Red and Blue

Up at dawn I'm crawling out of bed (out of bed). I pull my clothing on, the coffee is brewing. Grabbed my mug, my meds, I need my fix (my knees are bad). I see the clock, the time, it's getting real late and. Into traffic I go. It's a stand-still.
Sigh; the lanes are packed on my left, my right...
EVERYTHING HURTS

HELP ME UP LET'S GO HELP ME UP LET'S GO

I'M ON FIRE
MUSCLES TIGHTER
THAN THEY HAVE ANY RIGHT

I'M WAY TOO STIFF TO MOVE
SO JUST REMEMBER IF YOU ask me to get up and make you a nice cuppa tea

At a major event for the software I manage at work...
It's overwhelmingly crowded here but the worse factor is everyone here smells like they took a freaking bath in aftershave, deodorant or perfume.

I'm getting a massive headache just sitting in the main hall breathing this air.

The magic of the magic itself is that you can SEE the person making Scooter or Kermit or whichever Muppet is out there on a live stage at a memorial or interview and STILL you respect the second fourth wall and ignore the muppeteer.
the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style
MY KIDS: so why are there muppets in the AUDIENCE

ME: THE CONCEIT!! IS THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ON A VARIETY SHOW!!! IN A WORLD WHERE MUPPET AND HUMAN COEXIST!!! YOU ARE WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY!! FILMED!! IN REAL TIME!!!

Another Heraldry girl! Meet the Upper Austrian eagle. The coat of arms shows her a bit squished and elongated, so I interpret her as being really tall. Also golden feathers go pretty hard~

Ok, I've done shocked and surprised. I've done angry and vengeful. But how about we make this work while it lasts no?
So... mm... Ara ara?

So today I decided to work a little more on my chocobo mask, only to discover I didn't have the bronze colour for the details that I wanted to have.
Plan B was finishing up the dicetower/tome I prepped to prototype/practice on.
One hyperfocus later, it's all painted and ready to varnish.

Commission from @nikkyvix.nightfox-arts.com of myself in a taur Amaro form. Some trademark features, some speculative design from Niko and a stimulating side-effect of locally browsed snacks. Cleaner version.
