Every time I open Procreate on iPad I’m just so smitten with the brushes. Once Procreate comes to desktop, oh PS it is so over for you

reminder that these open tonight @ 8PM : as this is my vague take on a pinup commission, here are some ideas for what “nightwear” might apply to!

🖤 a tired scholar reading in bed
🖤 a candlelit rendezvous in a castle
🖤 a dame applying oil at her vanity
🖤 a bard pleasuring himself on the road
#commission opening !

the special theme is "NIGHTWEAR" —

cast in a moonlit glow with accents of red, these valentines slots are meant to explore the late hours of night. bring your characters in their leather, lace, braies, and house coats and let's get dressed down.

FRI, 2/6 @ 8PM EST ❤️

I am the only young person in this class and during break some people asked me how to share Spotify playlists with each other 😭 Oh dear…

I found and am currently sitting in a local life drawing class and what I’m learning is that old people like to chat a lot about politics

Wow can you guys believe it’s not a post about cats for once

Miss Nova I think is still a tad skittish of me but she has started to sit on her perch in my bedroom in the mornings waiting for me to wake up...I clutch my heart and fall to my knees

It's been 1.5 months now since I adopted Miss Nova. She mostly lives in the cat tree in my living room but has gotten better at venturing out and even running Cosmo over for food 😆 They still have small spats daily but I swear recently her tail is up while Cosmo chases her. What does this mean!
February 2, 2026 at 5:29 AM
Cosmo chased Nova again just now and I swear her tail was up while running. She did just run back to the cat tree and didn’t reciprocate so I assume she is still afraid…?

I feel like a lot of what this consultant told me goes against common advice I’ve heard from peers/vets/Jackson Galaxy and she’s just this random lady with some reviews I paid $300 for so I’m like 😭 Like I thought playing with one cat in front of the other was a common integration tactic?????
January 30, 2026 at 2:37 AM
Some other learnings from the cat consultant (unsure if others may learn smth new or maybe feel the info is inaccurate):

-Playing with Cosmo in front of Nova may make her feel more scared of him since he’s “hunting”

-When he charges at her I do need to intervene, specifically to redirect him via-
January 30, 2026 at 2:27 AM
Does anyone know/have thoughts on Dr. Elsey’s dry kibble…? The consultant recommended this brand but I have never heard of them….
January 30, 2026 at 2:08 AM
Does anyone have any thoughts about Hill’s Science Diet dry food? The cat consultant said Hill’s is awful and is the reason why Cosmo is overweight (despite maintaining ~200 calories daily) and gets hangry, which triggers aggression at Nova. However my vet heavily recommends Hill’s so I’m like ????
January 30, 2026 at 1:15 AM
Had the pet behavior consultation today where Cosmo and Nova did get into a spat on camera and the consultant told me it’s because Cosmo was hangry (it was close to feeding time)…so it is aggression and not play 😭 At least I know now!
January 30, 2026 at 1:12 AM
Thinking about the fact I caught Nova with her tongue sticking out after she finished playing yesterday…the first cat blep I’ve ever seen…it was sooooo cute 😭
January 28, 2026 at 5:25 PM
Gosh I was so stressed I slept like 2 hrs but she has URI meds now and apparently was also missing a rabies vaccine (🙃) so we are all caught up and in the vet’s system, and I can rest easy.
January 28, 2026 at 3:05 PM
Reporting back that I’m alive and Nova’s first vet appt actually went well! The Zylkene really worked so she was stressed but manageable and she got all the shots and meds she needs. I’m glad we were able to pull through with it today.
January 28, 2026 at 2:57 PM
She didn’t do this last time but given her vocal aggression I am genuinely afraid she will launch herself at my face or smth
January 27, 2026 at 8:06 PM
*Takes deep breaths through my nose that having to fight a screaming/hissing cat into the carrier is a normal occurrence for cat owners*

Will my face/limbs remain intact tomorrow? I will report back…

Here's a video of the XIV Planner taken from the other site! I feel like it does a much better job of showcasing all 165 pages of beautiful #FFXIV illustrations—including pages to help log your crafting, gathering, and raid gear! ✍️

Vet won’t give me gabapentin or URI medication without seeing Nova first so I’m going to have to suck it up and fight a screaming/hissing cat again tomorrow morning. Ohhh god have mercy on me
January 27, 2026 at 7:31 PM
I have a habit of letting a single stressor blow up and am trying to be cognizant, this week my cats were getting along better so I thought “ok I can do this” but the anxiety around handling Nova and each vet visit = chasing and getting screamed at makes me wonder if I made a mistake after all
