I broke down and made an account here.

Whatever pronouns. As far as I'm concerned, my pronouns are "I/me" and the rest is a you/your problem.

I'm chronically fatigued and make crafts sometimes.
Now that I'm not spoiling the surprise, here's the main gift I made for @mkdouma6.bsky.social this time. It's a mask of what's supposed to be her Perennial Astronaut character. I used the same mold as for my Death Knight mask and added fake nails and hot glue for teeth, gums, and other details.

A story in 3 parts

Marieke gave me these STUNNING postcard prints (also available on her Etsy www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Pere... ) and Gianni gave me this weird rock he found

Had an amazing time at Kami-Con. @getgianni.com and @mkdouma6.bsky.social were super cool and amazing, as always. Gianni signed that boot for my broken foot which I hope to hang up as if it's a Warframe fishing trophy. #kamicon #getgianni

Like clockwork, I have come home from a convention and immediately some shit is going down.

My 8 months pregnant sister is in the hospital with high blood pressure. They've got her under close supervision so hopefully it's all fine but it's very nerve wracking

I feel like it smells slightly like gas in my apartment. I can't tell. We do have a "fill the apartment with deadly gas" lever but as far as I know, that's still taped down.

Woke up at 2am after going to bed at 6pm. Drove 5 1/2 hours home. I'm chronic fatigue's strongest warrior. Time to sleep until 2pm

And in the interim, you can cosplay as someone slowly and horrifyingly transforming into the Perennial Astronaut.
February 9, 2026 at 5:13 AM
I should just continue to give you pieces of a Perennial Astronaut cosplay every time I see you and in 3 years worth of cons, you'll have a whole costume to wear.

I'm very glad for my own ability to recognize and analyze themes in media because I frequently get to give those kind of compliments and people always light up when I do. I like being able to give people that.

Art is all about communication. The best feeling for both creator and enjoyer is just "I understood this." At that point, whether or not I even liked it isn't even important. Because me liking it is subjective. But me understanding it means you succeeded, objectively, at your goal of communication.
February 9, 2026 at 2:54 AM
I've said before and I'll say a thousand times: the best kind of compliment to an artist, and my favorite kind of compliment to give, is "I heard what you meant to say". Not even an "I liked it". Just an "I understood it. I saw that you put something on purpose. I understand why you did".

It's a beautiful, sunny day...

I made this a while ago for @mkdouma6.bsky.social saving a chat member who had been randomly executed at a #GetGianni stream, but it was also her helping me to my car last night.

"Radiant is Marieke for she is the light in my darkness"
February 7, 2026 at 4:37 PM
And it suddenly occurred to me that I may not have been physically capable of getting back to my car.

"Uh oh" I said, for this was not good.
February 7, 2026 at 4:22 PM
I reached the point at like roughly 8pm or so where I was like "I'm honestly doing surprisingly well. I'm not in very much pain. I'm not too woozy." And then I made the mistake of standing up and realizing my costume was one billion pounds and seemed to gain an extra million while I'd been sitting.
February 7, 2026 at 4:22 PM
Then she hoisted me over her shoulder with her huge rippling muscles and deposited me in my car before disappearing in a blinding flash of pure, radiant light.

Or something like that I was very it of it.
February 7, 2026 at 4:18 PM
@mkdouma6.bsky.social : "you look like you're going to fall over do you need help to your car?"

Me, the most visibly not fine person on the planet: "Noooooo I'm fine I'm fine."

Marieke: "let me rephrase. I am walking you to your car"

Me: "yes Marieke anything you say Marieke"

Honestly it might just be a sinus headache. My gerd is pretty bad today.
February 6, 2026 at 2:12 PM
My body: "You did a lot of sitting upright yesterday and the day before"

Me: "I did"

My body: "There's a price to be paid for such reckless action"

Me: "I know"

My body: "Enjoy your migraine"

Me: "thanks I will"

I have low standards for hotels but I couldn't stay in that one last night. I swapped to a different hotel. I got a late cancellation fee but luckily was able to refund the rest of the nights. Now I'm somewhere much cleaner and quite happy to be here.
February 6, 2026 at 2:04 PM
I actually decided I have enough character. I physically couldn't stay there. And I have low standards for hotels. I cancelled the rest of the stay and changed to somewhere else.

Listen, a little exposed wiring never hurt anybody. Sure one of the pillows is stained. Does the toilet flush? Technically. Is there more than one towel? What do you think this is, the Ritz Carlton?
February 5, 2026 at 8:47 PM
Not much else to do today. Didn't expect to get here so early.

Might fuck around and see Iron Lung again
February 5, 2026 at 7:55 PM
I haven't been inside yet, but the look of the outside of the motel I'm at tonight and for the rest of my trip does not give me a lot of hope that it will be an improvement from last night.
