If you have any mental image of me on this hellsite, I hope that it is this
I edited Picklotl into that one picture with the homemade cat tower where the lower box is labeled "Fort Asshole" and there's an upper box labeled "Sniper Tower" with a cardboard sniper rifle

Red and gold Lunar New Year motifs my beloved,

#hollowknight #silksong #pickleart
Hornet with red and gold motifs like you'd find on lucky red envelopes. There's also a plum blossom branch in the background.

I almost fought someone over this this weekend

And now that I know it's because of a food influencer dieting trend

Yeah I think it was best that I didn't fight that fight

Fuck it,

Pokemon GO be like, "take a picture of your favorite Pokemon, hashtag Pokemon30 lmao lol advertise for us smileyface hashtag nostalgia"

JOKE'S ON YOU, my favorite Pokemon isn't even in the game yet, because you skipped out on releasing all of Alola to prioritize The New Shit

Also this piece came with a weird amount of emotional baggage that I kinda wanted to talk about, so screenshot from tumblr 'cause it's long with alt text
So this was originally going to be a really big piece. A lucky thing in feng shui is like... seven? or eight? running horses and they may or may not each represent something (dude, researching on the internet is impossible nowadays) My mom and my auntie have been trying to get me to draw something like that for forever for the feng shui and the luck because I'm year of the dog and the horse is a compatible sign... So this year would probably be the best time to do it, right? I started planning it out, I tried assigning each horse a different symbolic thing for the new year and... it started piling up to be a lot of research and work that would cost energy I didn't have. And honestly, I don't think I would've ended up showing my mom and auntie the piece when I was done with it, let alone, I don't think they'd really appreciate all the work I'd put into it (they are not art people). So who the hell am I trying to impress?? Myself? No?? Now that I've moved out of my parents' place and now I know what it's like to exist without someone commenting on everything I do, I've kinda come to the conclusion that... the person I'm most comfortable as... is not a very good Chinese daughter. And if I have to choose between being comfortable in my own skin and being palatable, then... well I guess I don't really want to be a good Chinese daughter anymore. And that's okay. Out of my original idea, this was the one horse that I wanted to work on the most. A cute weirdo idea that feels like... me! Not something people want me to be. But yeah, this drabble goes out to all the peeps that were raised as Asian daughters and are still going through the motions of dealing with their generational traumas. We'll figure all of it out one day.

Seahonse....

Got my Lunar New Year pic done for the year, but I might do some other sillies 'cause I really really like playing with these motifs and palette and I only really get to like once a year

#pickleart
A red hippocampus creature (half-horse, half-fish) with a splash of coins underneath it. The hippocampus is wearing a saddle and has a necklace kinda thing of old timey Chinese coins around its neck. There's eight fish made of gold around it. On the side are the Chinese characters, ๅนดๅนดๆœ‰้ค˜ (niรกnโ€‹niรกnโ€‹yว’uโ€‹yรบ), which translates to "have abundance every year." Yรบ in Mandarin is also fish, so the phrase is associated with fish because of the homophone.

The Once Upon a Katamari OST-

Has a very different vibe than the other Katamari games, by virtue of being made like a decade after the others and also a different team

And some of the songs don't super gel with me

But Eeja Eeja Naika is a fucking banger

Good morning Hourly Comic Day

Let's get....
Some sleep.
Later.

#hourlycomicday #pickleart
5:55am Panel 1: the sound effect WOOMPH as wind gusts Panel 2: Picklotl tucked into bed, thinking "Jeez, is that the fucking wind? Why's it so loud-" Panel 3: Picklotl's eyes snap open, "...MY ORCHIDS-" Panel 4: Picklotl moving a potted plant inside as the wind is so strong it's flopping her gills to one side. The caption reads: Had to bring my plants into the apartment before the occasional Gale Force Gusts accidentally snap the stems 6am Panel 1: Picklotl lying on the couch with her phone, "Well. I guess I might as well be awake now." The caption reads: You can tell I have moed from the bed to the couch because Napstablook is here Panel 2: Picklotl looks up as something has caught her eye Panel 3: Picklotl notices a moth on the ceiling, "Oh THERE'S that moth that flew in last night Panel 4: Picklotl placing a container with the moth outside with the caption: gently places outside, "Alright buddy, take your time" Panel 5: Another gust of wind flings the container across the patio, the moth escapes, though, but Picklotl's like, "NO!! FUCK!!!!"

Hourlies done!
7pm - That one part of the night where I just kinda dissociate and rot for a bit because I'm so tired from cleaning up. Picklotl is reclined in a chair and looks exhausted. On the computer monitors are bluesky open on the left and Invisoguy's stream on the right. There's an arrow pointing to the second monitor: Hung out in Viso's stream for a bit (today is their birthday!) 8pm - Finally finished up Tall Trails! Cute little platformer, felt really good to pick up and play. There's an image of the protagonist, Alp, launching themselves into the air with the boot on their back. 9pm - Somehow found the energy to work on a Hollow Knight AU comic. I just had to sketch out the last page before I move onto inks. It's got Ghost and Hornet, THK isn't in it,so this doodle here is For Fun. In the panel, The Knight/Ghost has a donut on their horn. They look back at The Hollow Knight playfully. THK looks back with an expression of confusion. Bottom panel, with a sleepy Picklotl: Even though I don't have work tomorrow, ya girl is EEPY, so I'm gonna call it here for the night.

I am now realizing how much of my Sundays are allocated to just Doing Chores
12pm - Started up the On-Together pomodoro timer for real this time. Let's get some fuckin' chores done. Picklotl holds a squirt bottle and gives a thumbs up to my On-Together avatar. The avatar gives a thumbs up back, is holding a broom, and has a timer above their head. 1pm - POWER OF THE WYVERN RAAAAAH Panel 1: Picklotl posing powerfully in front of a goofy-ass looking wyvern. Got a good chunk of chores done, including dustong off the shelves that I've been putting off for forever. Panel 2: Picklotl holding up a clump of hair and saying "ech." Also cleaned out the bathtube drain. 2pm to 3pm: ...catching up on hourlies. Picklotl in front of a double monitor setup, looking back at the viewer. On the first monitor has CSP open and a smaller Picklotl also looking back at the viewer. The second monitor has Barry's stream open with Barrvatar in the corner and Deku Link in an ice trap. 4pm Panel 1: Picklotl looking disheveled, "Kinda hungry... wonder why..." An arrow points to her with the words "has only had half a bag of gummy worms between breakfast and now and also did a bunch of chores" Panel 2: Picklotl cutting vegetables and standing on a stool for comedic effect, "Every day I cook only to cook again. Forever. Sisyphean-ass," 5pm - Made Chicken Cacciatore over linguini from scratch. Picklotl on the side says, "'Easy to make' my fucking ass, that took an hour of my goddamn life." It was good though, would make it again with a better workflow next time. 6pm Panel 1: Picklotl wiping her brow, "Okay, dinner is done, the dishwasher's going-" Panel 2: Picklotl looks back, angry, there's a forgotten pair of tongs on the counter. A crab pencil holder is holding it up.

Picklotl holding a mug with a very long steam trail 8am Panel 1: Player Berry Bury Berry while I waited to go to breakfast with my dad. Picklotl nervously throwing a berry into a hole. Panel 2: Playing this game with a pomodoro timer going. Picklotl staring into space with controller in hand. The timer goes off with a blip blip. Panel 3: ...This did nothing for me. Picklotl continues to stare into space. Her ass is not moving. 9am - Smoked Salmon Bagel with this sliver of cucumber on top that I never know how you're supposed to eat. Panel 1: Picklotl looks down at the bagel, "Wow they skimped on the cream cheese. The economy, man..." 10am - Quick stop at Daiso Panel 1: Picklotl looks on with eyes wide with awe, "hhhhOUH my GOD" Panel 2: Super cute onigiri plate and teacup Panel 3: Picklotl averts her eyes, "I can't. I CAN'T......" No I did not get it. 11 am - Grocery shopping in peace because everyone fucked off for football let's goooo Panel 1: Picklotl triumphantly holding groceries Panel 2: Pickolt's cell phone sounds off, "Oh, who the hell could be texting me on a Sund-" Panel 3: Picklotl does a pog but not really. The phone text reads, "no work tomorrow due to inclement weather." Picklotl goes, "ohh YOOOOOOOOOO"
