This October, as part of my #FinalFantasyIX 25th anniversary celebrations, I'm doing #FFIX themed daily sketches!
I'll be posting them on all socials under the tag #IXtober - anyone else doing FFIX creative works is absolutely free to use it for themselves. ❤️

Promo image for my Final Fantasy IX themed daily sketches for October 2025. The sketch in the bottom right is of Vivi Ornitier, with chocobo chick Bobby Corwen. Text reads: "A Place to Call Home. A Final Fantasy IX 25th anniversary celebration. An FFIX sketch a day for October 2025. Tag: #IXtober . Feel free to join in and use it for your own creative works! @ryuuza.bsky.social."

NO NO NO NO NO NO STRIPE THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE IDEA
Why the hell would *anyone* want to remove human input from the dispute process?! Least of all PAY EXTRA for the privilege?!
Immediately logged in and switched this nonsense off. Read the damn room.
An email from Stripe. It reads: "Hello, We're excited to share that you'll get early access to Smart Disputes, starting in November 2025. We'll automatically enable this new product on your account Ryuuza. Smart Disputes will help you save time managing eligible disputes on card transactions and recover revenue – with no action needed from you. Benefits to you: Managing disputes is time-consuming and it can be difficult to know what evidence to submit. Smart Disputes helps: Save time: We automatically compile evidence and respond to disputes, so you don't have to spend time fighting them. Recover revenue: Our evidence is compiled using AI trained on real dispute data from the more than US$1 trillion in payments Stripe processes annually, to help you recover disputed revenue. Get started with no integration required: Unlike other automated dispute management solutions, Smart Disputes is built into Stripe, so there's no extra work to integrate. How it works: We'll notify you when you receive an eligible dispute on a card transaction and automatically compile evidence for you. If you don't take action before the dispute deadline, Stripe will automatically submit this evidence on your behalf. You can always choose to accept the dispute or counter it manually before the deadline. Only pay when you win: If you win a dispute using Smart Disputes, you'll pay 30% of the recovered disputed amount. If you don't win, then no fees for Smart Disputes apply. The fee for receiving a dispute still applies to all disputes, including ones countered with Smart Disputes. How to turn off auto-submission: If you don't want to use Smart Disputes, then you can turn off auto-submission in your Dashboard. If you opt out, you can still manually submit evidence generated by Smart Disputes once it is enabled for your account. If you have questions or would like to manage or close your account, please visit our support site – we're here to help. – The Stripe team."

My black and white cat watching a videogame cat on my TV. (We have low lighting in here, so her black parts are a little tricky to make out.)

LRP Before you get mad at GTA VI being delayed again, be mad at Rockstar instead for union busting.

Oh hey so this fucking sucks.

Make the right choice and be pro-worker and don’t support GTA. It’s literally the smallest sacrifice you can do.

What a giant pile of assholes running this clown show.

Megapom is the con where I finally make a load of VIII merch, because my lack of it is criminal at this point. >:V

I'm at the point where I think I've found all the available areas (yes, including the super hidden outside one) and almost all the big secrets and story reveals, so just a couple of keys to find before I wind it down.
It's been both hugely engaging and frustrating in equal measure... <1/3>

Downloaded Blue Prince while I've still got PS+ Premium and I love it so far! Though I have managed to block myself in multiple times without thinking. 😂

DIVILMENT
My black and white cat, caught wrapping herself around a footstool and attacking the legs. The same cat, letting go of the footstool and trying to deny everything.

I've seen a lot of people saying "it's about brand visibility" or "Fortnite collabs with everyone."

As a business owner, that's bullshit. Literally everything you publicize and take money from is a moral decision. I've walked away from ad deals because I didn't approve of the company offering them.

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

In the background, Garland, Zidane's creator, is silhouetted and facing away.

If you ever feel like your sketchbook as an artist is not looking pretty or artistic enough: take a look at Gustav Klimt‘s sketchbook

One of my all time favourite albums is currently a whole dollar on Bandcamp. If you like prog or power metal and haven't heard Suspyre, The Silvery Image is well worth a listen!
suspyre1.bandcamp.com/album/the-si...
Screenshot of a Facebook post from the band "Suspyre". The text reads: Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of our first album, *The Silvery Image.* To celebrate, we reduced the price on Bandcamp to $1! (We don't get any streaming royalties from this album, otherwise). If you want a CD, we still have hundreds left (and it's the 2008 remaster with a bonus track...which I should really upload to Bandcamp). " Underneath is a thumbnail with the album art for The Silvery Image.

Human bodies are ridiculous. Blood pressure and pulse rocketed a couple of days ago, to the point that I thought I might have to go to A&E.

It was trapped wind. 🙃
