Going through my grandmother's documents, and I found this Japanese movie magazine from the 60s that has her on the cover (amongst family pictures, some of them as old as the 1920s...) My little former-historian soul is kind of blown away.

The carriage itself is pretty darn cool though!

True message of hope here from old-timey ads (taken at the 1938 tube carriage revival)

She loves being on this cushion, despite it being very far from any hiding place or her pen 😅 Display rabbit

Guys guys! After literal months, the books, they are all in the shelves 😍📚 And they all fit! (We don't ask how, we just give praise to the bookshelf gods. We also don't ask about the remaining pockets of mess.)

This one isn't strictly a sketch - it took me a fair bit longer than 1h - but yay, colours! Another drawme subreddit prompt that turned out really fun. There is a person out there who legit attached this number of balloons to her hair...

Already on the train back, couple more pics... Next time I'll have to stay a week or two, what a truly enchanting place!

Not very nice to call me names just because I'm a bit slow...

First time ever in the Lake District, and it doesn't disappoint! The rolling hills, the taller peaks, the water; such a beautiful place... I get what the fuss is about.

Still leaning into a looser style. I will own the brush strokes someday! I will.

Rougher rendering today, but I had so much fun with this, incredible style on that guy. Next goal: get a bit more creative with colours!

Part 4289 of the burnout recovery plan: resuming sketching. Found the "drawme" subreddit, and my goal is to do maybe one per day, keeping it to ~1h to 1h30 max. Let's see if that makes me progress 😅

Me: "As a French person, I really appreciate frequent and meaningful text exchanges from early on when getting to know someone and while building up to any further relationship"

Describe your favourite movie in the most misleading way possible:

A former cop struggles with the impact AI has on his job :/

Gotta love how she steps all over his sleepy face to go get food.
Bunnies are merciless 🤦🏼

Reintro time, given recent changes!
I'm Anna, a French-raised, UK-based game designer and writer currently focusing on getting Coffee Talk Tokyo out there ☕🥳
I erratically post about games, words, books, bunnies, travel pics, and (when I boil over) the appalling state of human rights.

Let's go to the garden centre, they said. We'll just grab two small plants and a small planter, they said.
Half an hour later...

There absolutely is in my life a before and after discovering Tajin as glass rimming.

10h in I'm obsessed with Clair Obscur : Expedition 33!
Unsurprisingly, I love the story, but more surprisingly, I also love the combat.
Little design thread 🧵 on why I spent 23 hecking minutes beating this boss (yes, I need to learn how to parry) and enjoyed every second of it!

My lilac bush is really feeling itself this spring! It smells amazing too 🪻💖

Caught the front of the men's race on camera, as well as some French guy having a blast 👀 #LondonMarathon

(Apologies for the delete and repost, Burt Lancaster's gif wasn't gifing - but he's absolutely who I'm here for in that movie, those last scenes when he walks through the dark streets of the town at night are perfection!)

Found some old ink drawings while browsing photo archives.
I should find the motivation to do more of these, black ink work is just so much fun!
