My boy’s turn 🥰 the café’s cryptid, spends his entire day at the company workshop. Catching sight of him is a rare sight, and everyone thinks his grumpiness is an act (it is not, he hates everyone but his wife)
#ffxiv #art
An illustration of my OC Tesla wearing a dark red maid dress. He is not amused, glaring at the camera, with some hand drawn whiskers on his face. He is holding a wrench in one of his crossed-over hands. Grumpy bitch!!!!!!

#ffxiv #art
An illustration of my friend’s FFXIV character, Ashe, based on the FE3H character but as a catboy. He is wearing a navy and maroon maid dress, and is holding a sweet bun. He has little cat whiskers drawn on his face.

#ffxiv #art
An illustration of Hubba Bubba, a female viera with light blue hair that fades to pink. She is wearing a pink and blue maid dress, and is doing a heart with her hands. She is smiling very happily, delighted to see you!

I’ve started making photocards of our FC’s members :3 Because somehow our FC just became a maid cafe by accident 😳
Starting off with @mariettarc.bsky.social ‘s pretty boy Warren 🐰
#ffxiv #art
An illustration styled like an idol photo trading card of my friend KK’s male viera character, Warren. He is wearing a soft green and pink maid dress, and is winking at the camera while he does a small heart with his fingers.

😼 BOOK 14 - Starter Villain - John Scalzi
Silly, fast to read. Bit tropey, but that’s what it’s willingly aiming for. Pacing is a bit funky, to be fair - by the time the world building is done, the book is over.
3/5 ⭐️
The cover of John Scalzi’s book Starter Villain, featuring a fluffy cat wearing a suit and being evil, as cats are.

Several photos of my hands later:
A screenshot of a work in progress of my friend KK’s male viera OC Warren. He is wearing a maid dress and winking at the camera, his left hand making a small heart with his index finger and thumb. So far, only his hair and skin are coloured in, with soft green hair and pink eyes.

No worries! The description reminds me stabilo fineliners :3 does it look like this?

🫥 BOOK 13 - Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage - Haruki Murakami
TW: suicide ideation, rape
I picked this one up not knowing it is bad horny fest. Not his best writing, to my belief. Just… really, really weird, disjointed ideas and execution. Skip this one.
2/5 ⭐️
The cover of Murakami’s Tsukuba Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage. Four circles filled with red, blue, white and black Venn Diagram with a transparent one against a dark grey background.

🍸 BOOK 12 - Bad Behavior - Mary Gaitskill
TW: alcohol, substance and sexual abuse
Fucked up stuff. Some stories made me physically nauseous, so definitely not for the faint of heart. I just fucking love the way Gaitskill observes and analyses people in her writing.
4/5 ⭐️
The cover of Mary Gaitskill’s Bad Behavior. A woman holds a glass and looks wasted and upset while surrounded by probably intoxicated people.

🌸 BOOK 11 - Abroad in Japan - Chris Broad
A lot of the stories he shares in the book are stuff he has spoken about in videos. It’s funny to hear his voice in his written word though. Reads fast.
2.75/5 ⭐️
The cover of Chris Broad’s Abroad in Japan memoir. Mount Fuji towers over a torii gate and tradition Japanese houses in a stylised illustration.

🌌 BOOK 10 - All the Lovers in the Night - Mieko Kawakami
This could’ve been an essay instead. Kawakami, in my opinion, tends to project ideas and dialogue into characters that don’t seem to really hold them themselves.
3/5 ⭐️
The cover of Mieko Kawakami’s All the Lovers in the Night. Under the title, a woman stares into space while light shines all over her face and body. She is holding a pen over paper.

📜 BOOK 9 - Kokoro - Natsume Soseki
I have… I have conflicting feelings about this. I understand the allegory of old Japan clashing with new, and genuinely believe there’s SO much to talk about. Beautiful, concise writing, just insufferable characters. Maybe that was the point?
4/5 ⭐️
The cover of Natsume Soseki’s Kokoro, featuring a new translation published by Penguin Classics. The head of a Japanese woman is half obscured under a gigantic kanji.

🖌️ BOOK 8 - Four Treasures of the Sky - Jenny Tinghui Zhang
TW: rape, racism
Historical fiction on Chinese migration and forced labour in America. Based partially on a true story, it is haunting and heart-aching. A pleasant random find.
4.5/5 ⭐️
The cover of Jenny Tinghui Zhang’s Four Treasures of the Sky. The face of a young Chinese woman is imposed against a soft, light green background. She stares as her clothes become superimposed by an old American mining town.

✈️ BOOK 7 - The Last Flight - Julie Clark
I don’t usually read thrillers, but this one was fine! One side of the story was, in my opinion, far more riveting than the other, but it’s an easy read nonetheless. I just really like airplanes LMAO
3.5/5 ⭐️
The cover of Julie Clark’s The Last Flight. It features a red photoshopped image of airport stairs and the figure of a woman walking away.

Mentally checked out, but locked the fuck in otherwise
A photo of a TV screen showing the end of the intro trailer for Trauma Center: Second Opinion, where both Derek Stiles and Nozomi Weaver are standing next to each other looking very determined.

Finally got my grubby hands on a Spanish copy of It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth! Sublime. Insane. My brain feels different now
A photo of a hand holding a copy of the Spanish edition of Zoe Thorogood’s “It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth”, translated as “Se está muy sola en el centro de la tierra”, and published by Norma Editorial. The background shows a sunlit street, with the comic books shop the book was bought at.

A quick illustration of my partner, Ida, looking over her shoulder while wearing a green dress with a soft yellow undershirt. She is holding several sunflowers in her arms, grand and bright.

The load file screen from trauma center: new blood. There is only one file being used, and has clear data in it, meaning the game has been cleared when it comes to the main story. The completion time stands at around 7h30.

FINALLY FINISHED GENKI CHAPTER 5
A photo of a man with his arms up in the air, shackles breaking as he is freed. There is a sunset in the background, illuminating him. The joke here is that, finally being done with chapter number 5 of the Japanese textbook Genki, I am free from the adjective nightmare I had been stuck in for at least two months (not because it was hard, but because I had been so busy lately).

An illustration of Hatsune Miku wearing a red kimono with cherry blossoms. She is wearing a pink obi belt with a large ribbon on the back, her hair held up in two buns. She is looking back slightly, a gentle smile on her lips. The background is a golden orange, with redder accents.
