I don't do nearly as much art as I would like to, but I'm trying to do more, or any, really...

Been a long, tiring day spent in train stations and travelling, but I picked up a copy of Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social, which kept me entertained. Definitely recommended.

New quick profile pic time.
A sketchy cartoon picture of a girl with orange hair and glasses, wearing a maroon vest over a light cream button up shirt.

Didn't think we'd ever finish, but I love it.
A brown, wooden set of dresser drawers, two wide and three high, sitting under a window looking outside. The floor's a kind of orangey wood, and the wall in the back is a sage green.

Did you know that you can just pick up and keep the Skritt in Ember Bay? Nobody's stopping you!

A screenshot from Guild Wars 2. A blonde woman in chainmail armour and large pauldrons holding a passed out humanoid rat creature in her arms. The rat creature is a Skritt. She's standing on rocks in front of a bay with ship masts in the background. The whole picture is tinted kinda red because it's a volcanic island.

New hat!
A woman with shoulder length red hair and black glasses wearing a tweed cap, with a pin on one side that's a picture of an orange frog with the text "Fat and angry". She's wearing a red black and white plaid jacket, and is standing in front of a bus stop looking at the camera.

Well, it's been a good weekend for acquiring things.

I guess it's time to learn to sew.

Had a lovely evening at @studiostaja.bsky.social with @reeclian.bsky.social, making collages from old sexy magazines from the 1960s through the 90s.
A collage made up of clippings from a magazine, featuring pictures from the movie "Barbarella", as well as some costume photoshoots. It's a full page spread of a topless hunky angel lying on his back, grabbing at the stomach and chest of a woman with black hair and feathers, with a see-through top. The bottom of the collage from left to right has a picture of Barbarella (Jane Fonda) shooting a gun while being held by a hunky angel, a picture of Barbarella lying on her back kissing a white rabbit that she's holding in the air, a shot of Barbarella from behind as she removes a fur robe, and three grungy looking shirtless people, a man with big white hair, a bald man, and a woman with long brown hair. Scattered around the page are small pictures of women in costumes posing against a white background. A collage made up of magazine clippings. From left to right there's: A white statue of a unicorn with a gold horn reared up on it's back legs, a blonde woman with a big sword, a shield, and plate armour exposing her abs and thigh riding a snarling polar bear, a stylized woman with very striking eyes and a kind of swoopy white hairdo, a white wing with a thumb beneath it, and a square clipping of a bed with a headboard that's made up of scary people in robes. Bottom left under the polar bear there's a small black and white cutout of some striking eyes with a mole, and in the upper right corner there's a black and white picture of a nose and some lips in a smirk. There's text on the upper right of the collage that says "You always come back to the basics." There's another block of text just down and to the right of the centre that reads: Bruna nodded. "He was about the age you are now," she said. The bus stopped, people climbed on, crowding the aisle. "Since then, twenty-seven years, always since then, it's been too late. For me. First too stupid, then too late. This time is for you. I missed mine."

The cover for the game "Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters" for the Game Boy. A brown haired, blue eyed boy in a white robe, with small angel wings and a gold leaf crown is pulling back an arrow in a bow. The boy is surrounded by monsters: A purple one eyed wizard style thing with a head that looks like an eggplant, white gloves, and a golden staff with a smaller eggplant hanging off it, a really sassy looking green snake, and an unimpressed looking orange bat with horns.

Spent the day gardening with @reeclian.bsky.social , mostly moving things into bigger pots, and seeing if I can make some magic with clippings from the neighbour's cherry tree.
A set of grey backyard furniture up against a short concrete wall with a wooden trellis, with green leaves on top. Above the mini sofa is a set of cute little patio lights. Beside the sofa on the left are a few small plant trimmings that may or may not turn into full trees eventually. Not sure, I'm new to this. On the right of the sofa are what I believe to be some kind of milkweed, to make our backyard enticing to butterflies. To the right of that is a closed red umbrella. The entire backyard is a big deck. A backyard with waist high concrete walls and fully decked surface, with a brown and white aluminium shed. There's a small glass and grey pretend wicker coffee table, and a grey and pretend wicker chair with a small blue table on one side. On the other side of the chair is a big blue pot with a large raspberry bush in it, and a bit further away is a big wooden pot with miscellaneous tall plants, and some orange flowers. Also not sure what they are, my partner bought most of the plants. Behind that, next to the shed is a table with assorted potted plants including more raspberry bushes, though smaller, and an empty wide planter that will eventually have herbs and vegetables. A backyard with a brown and white aluminium shed, and some pretend grey wicker furniture wish grey cushions, a small sofa and chair on the left, and another chair on the right, with a pretend wicker and glass table in the middle. There's a cute round blue table next to the chair on the right. Surrounding the furniture and next to the shed on a table are various pots with plants that were just transferred into bigger pots. The deck and furniture and pretty much everything else is all wet.

Feeling good about today's fit.
A woman with dyed red (orangeish) hair taking a selfie. She's wearing a black KF94 mask, semi-rimless glasses, a teal spaghetti strap tank top and a sleeveless teal, white, black, and maroon plaid button up open on top. She's got a small black tube on a chain around her neck, and is standing in front of a grey carpeted staircase with a wooden bannister.

Gonna be glued to Occult Crescent next week! Maybe I'll see you there.
A Miqo'te from Final Fantasy XIV with short spiky black and red hair eating a bread roll, looking towards the camera kind of embarassed. She's wearing a low cut frilly top with leather and brass bits, and semi-rimless glasses.

How can I work when Sarafina is having the best time next to me?
A white cat with grey tabby markings on her head, a pink nose, and pink ears is upside down on the carpet, staring at the camera with wide and crazy yellow-green eyes. She’s upside-down with her front paws and back leg against the underside of the couch.

How too immediately improve my day: walk past these cuties.
Two cats lying next to eachother on a bed. The one in front is white with a few black/stripey patches, two on her forehead, and the one behind is a brown tabby, resting his chin on her outstretched arm. The bed is white, and it’s got light blue and white floral (with stems) print blankets, and colourful pillows. The white cat is resting her chin on the edge of the bed, and both cats are looking directly at the camera.

Phone surgery was otherwise successful and my used Blackberry Key2 has been converted to a red edition, but without the cellular signal it's kinda useless.
A tray with a used and worn out looking black Blackberry Key2 cell phone, next to a red chassis, red replacement keyboard, and a replacement screen. At the top of the tray is a pile of prying tools, spudgers, small screwdrivers, and tweezers, as well as a tupperware lid for storing the screws. A red Blackberry Key2 cell phone, turned on and running, with a message stating "No SIM card". The wallpaper on the phone is a stylized cartoon version of Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Do I know anyone in Ottawa comfortable with small electonics (think cell phone size) soldering?

If not, I'll *try* to do it myself, but I'm not amazing with things that small and fiddly.

Living vicariously through my FFXIV character? You bet!
A Miqo’te (catgirl) from Final Fantasy XIV with short black and red hair and a big fluffy tail, wearing a white button up shirt and tie with a black vest and small black shirt. She’s also wearing black high heels, and holding a big glowing red axe.

First sourdough with the new starter, and my first sourdough baked in a dutch oven.

Still need to cut into it in an hour to make sure it's not, like, a Christmas Vacation turkey situation, but it looks so good so far, I am stoked.

How are they so perfect?
A tabby cat sleeping with his head resting on a sleeping white cat. The white cat has her paw wrapped around his back foot, and they're both inside a grey fuzzy cube with an arched door.

Got FFXIV running on a backup laptop and finally living my Witchy dreams.
Samus Crankpork, a Miqo'te catgirl from Final Fantasy XIV, riding on a broom, with a gothic castle in the distance. She's wearing ornate black robes, and a pointed, brimmed witch's hat, and purple striped/diamond stockings. There's a pumpkin hanging off the front of the broom, and she's got a magical staff on her back.

I even saw her do a butt wiggle before pouncing towards Sarafina the other day, and I can’t remember the last time I saw her do that.
Two cats: On the left, Chesty, a black cat with a red collar crouched low to the floor, on the right Sarafina, a white cat with small tabby spots, is standing up holding onto a pole wrapped in beige rope. They’re facing eachother in a playful and alarmed manner.

At 14 years old, I should probably be concerned about how much weight Chesty’s lost recently, but ever since we moved out of that wretched apartment she’s been more active and playful than I’ve seen her in years.
Chesty the cat, a black short hair cat with light green eyes, sitting on a dining room chair under the table, looking at the camera.
