Hello!!! Well I've officially hit the three decades alive milestone and from now on I'll be deeply serious at all times starting maybe

But here's some art of mine! It'd mean a lot if you gave it a share!

Finished Stranger Things and it's crazy how a show can get so big and bloated right to the end, yet still be entirely predictable because it refuses to have stakes for the characters. Plot armour for everyone! A finale that really makes you say "wow I remember when this was 4 kids on bikes"

Having got every achievement and done all the optional replay challenges, I can safely say I want Basim to shut up and never talk again

"A key! I could use this to open a door!"
A few seconds later
"A door! Perhaps I could use a key to open it?"
"A secret passage! I wonder where it lasts?"

After an initial rough start with AC: Mirage, (forced account connection, intro takes FOREVER) I gotta say I really, really like the setting and now I feel like I need to buy a load of books on medieval Baghdad and its architecture! I've 100%d the game just to stay in the world longer.

In 2025 I watched 118 films I had never seen before, which is nearly one every 3 days! Time to start a new list for this year and keep filling in those blanks. Any recommendations?

Well I certainly didn't think I'd be where I am now, playing Lego star wars in PS2, watching die hard 1, 2, and 3 far away from where I was this time last year

It will be nice if next year is a little less dramatic maybe please thanks I'm so sleepy

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! 🎨

Going too far with detail is rapidly becoming my thing, but someone's got to paint all the leaves individually!
A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands. The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention. Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane. Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury. Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree. In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices. A woman in a flowing blue dress with flowing red hair and pale skin stands holding a small, ornate gilded box—a reliquary casket—in her hands. The box is decorated with a series of gold crow-like figures surrounded by blue and turquoise enamels. To either side of her stands a tall, dark humanoid figure with the silvery head of a jackdaw. One holds a dagger flat in open hands, and the other holds a simple chalice. All three stand in a carpet of fallen autumn oak leaves of gold and brown, fallen from a pair of trees either side of the frame. Behind them all is a tall gothic stone tower with pinnacles against a cloud-streaked sunset sky.

My Christmas cake decoration this year is a scale model of York Minster fashioned from marzipan surrounded by 12 edible choristers
The top of a large iced cake which features a large marzipan cathedral dusted with icing snow surrounded by trees, 12 choristers, and a border of shiny silver decorations.

Happy Solstice ❄️
A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

Close up on the murals which I'm still super proud of
A section of the mural above the chevron-decorated arch. It depicts a central humanoid crow figure with outstretched wings streaked with gold. It has a bright halo behind its head and holds a long sword pointed downwards. Around it are gold stars on a blue background. To either side are two more crow figures, facing the centre. One in the left carries a gold harp, the other a gold chalice. They stand on a red backing. Between the three figures are 2 human figures on white on each side, much smaller. They look up at the central crow while holding daggers. The left portion of the murals, as seen past the glowing candles. In the upper section, a crow figure with a halo stands with a lowered sword and outstretched hand, facing two human figures who hold their hands up. Behind the crow is a stag. All stand on red backing. Below this section is another set beneath white thorns. A crow figure with outstretched wings carries a spear in a flame-like setting. Around it are small human figures looking up at it. The right portion of the murals. In the upper section, a crow figure with a halo and spear stands facing left with a hand raised. Behind it to the right is a large black dog. Facing the cross figure are two human figures: one kneels, presenting a dagger, another holds an open book. In the section below, separated by castle-like architectural elements in white, a crow figure with outstretched wings holds a chalice. They are surrounded in a circle by human figures with their hands in prayer.

The Number You Have Reached Has Been Disconnected
A dark evening snow scene featuring snow covered fields bordered baby hedges. An icy road crosses between them. A line of telephone poles extends into the distance, where a tall radio mast marked with red lights stands. At the base of the closest pole is a payphone with the receiver hanging by its cord. Footprints in the snow lead to and away from it.

Having just finished 5 I stand by my statement, this is nonsense and ends on a massive cliffhanger I know for a fact the following game never resolves, which is a genuinely *insane* choice. You can't turn a main character into blue space Hitler out of nowhere and then do nothing with it

I spent the last 2 evenings playing Halo 4 couch co-op (it's definitely a game that exists), and tonight I started 5 for the first time but not coop obviously because they decided you're not allowed to. It too is a game that exists; they're both very weird in different ways and also utter nonsense.

Pretty sure this is the belief system of the crowpeople. Servants to the unseen gods of the fields and trees that only speak in the breeze, the rain on the grass, and the growing and shedding of leaves

... I'm just trying to justify building myself a shrine. I want one

I like to think each broadleaf wood, each scattered chalk grassland, each river, each bog, each marsh, all the natural stuff gets its own god. Maybe even a nice hill gets one. A god of a specific pond.

Is it time for me to finally make a lowpoly crowperson to match
A front view of a low-poly 3D model of a knight in fluted plate armour over a red dress. They carry a black untextured sword in their right hand.

Really enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man, though that said I recognised the church exterior as very much English style immediately. There's just that vibe to it, especially with the lychgate over the path, even if the building is relatively modern
