Hey, I'm Archi!
I'm a non-binary creator who is really into making maps, recipes, and all things flora and fauna. I work on original projects and fan works, and I yell about Dragon Age and Dungeon Meshi a lot.

Here’s my hot take that is totally fresh and original and no one’s ever brought up and I came up with it all by myself. Games like Hollow Knight, Silksong and FromSoftware titles could ship with an easier difficulty and it would take nothing away from players who love a hard game.

This might be a tall ask, but! Worth trying! 💕
The Rootless Boutique is only 12 sales away from a silver medal, and maybe we can reach that before the year ends✨
So, if you have a spare $5 and enjoy #dnd (especially the feywild and fairy tales) pick this up maybe?!

I might do a whole cooking with Anjou thing. I thought about it before, it would be a nice way to cover basics and clear up common gaps in knowledge or even misunderstandings. Things like:
Why you salt water, washing & soaking rice, washing meats - *NOT* with water, this one is so important to me.

I will say there are very few things I consider to actually be food crimes, but advising someone to eat under cooked, unwashed rice is right up there for me.
Its in the same realm as telling someone to not wash their veggies before putting them in a salad.
A crime in that it can make someone sick.

- Wash your rice, always wash your rice.
- Unless its instant your rice is not finished in 5-7 minutes. It is not like pasta. Do not cook it like pasta.
- If you need to strain your rice it is too wet or not done.
- Just because you've done something one way for a long time doesn't mean its correct

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

I am preparing to reopen commissions within the next month or two and it's been *checks notes* three years since I took on a commission, and was wondering where prices are sitting these days. Has it gotten any better?

The irony of my toxic yuri, goddess of rot and decay being my current brain rot is not lost on me. But also what if I just chewed on her for a minute, maybe open & closed my art program 40x? What if I really like my Moon Devourer & want to just think about her for a hot minute.

Me, yesterday: I hate doing iterative design. These are supposed to be simple anyways and my shoulder is angry. Its fine.
Me, today: Having completed 36 different iterations and now rotating different colour options to do probably another 20 iterations. "Wow, I forgot how much I love doing this!"

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

The issue with having my #1995Pod campaign covering the first 2000 years of the age is that when making the timeline is I got things that are dated 1645 and 1969 and it keeps throwing me a bit.
