I've thought about this. Actually, it doesn't matter that much, even if a professor does see me as The Student who Missed Five Points. You play a hundred different roles to a hundred different people, so it's okay if you don't nail all of them.

No, Brain, the professor won't think you're incompetent because you missed 5 points off a 100 point assignment. Please calm down and stop doing that.

You'd think I'd have gotten better at applying this stuff by now, but... umm...

The "r" sound as in ら,り,る,れ,ろ is really difficult for me to say😅

So I've already come across a couple tongue twisters...

I'll keep doing my best...!!

What song sounds like love to you?

If I had a partner, there are songs that would make me happily imagine them, or songs that I would sing for them, but it occurs to me everyone's music tastes and definitions of true love are different.

"Scapegoat" came on in the car today when I was going to school. I thought that would make you @killuaz1970.bsky.social happy to hear, lol🎶

Most people that follow me are Eve fans, but then someone told me that they started listening to MILKDOT because of me, and that made me really happy. I don't want him to be forgotten, you know? I have very little influence, so every comment like that means a lot to me ❤️❤️❤️

I dabble in lots of arts, but I've never been able to sit down and try to animate. Maybe the universe didn't want to give me any more arts.

But I wish I had learned by now. I have so many AMV ideas. They are stuck playing only in my head.

It's been a rough week. I want to get back on things. Japanese, exercise, flute, writing, skateboarding. Guitar, maybe. ASL? I want to learn things and do things. But it's hard.

It's not always, but I think, when someone else loves a song, you grow to appreciate it more? I only started loving Raison D'etre after a friend said it was their favorite, and I've also liked Midnight Runway & 落ちる色 more because of @killuaz1970.bsky.social.

Character portrait dump. Only the last one is my character. Otherwise I interpreted my friend's characters. I think they're not my most impressive or thought out pieces, but I do like looking over all these different personalities.

#oc #art
a warm-skinned cat girl with ginger hair, a dark nose, and freckles across her skin. she wears swirly glasses and a dark teal coat, and she raises her hand to her chin with a pensive expression a drowsy sheep boy with tiny black horns atop his head and floppy sheep-like ears. his skin is pale and faintly pink on his cheeks and nose. his hair is more like fluffy white wool with swirly patterns. also he wears a navy blue sweater over a brown shirt a slightly tanned woman lit up by a red glow, who looks down on the viewer with a fierce scowl and ivy-colored eyes. she wears a mock tank top and plug earrings a brown-skinned girl with dark hair and a short fluffy hairstyle, looking up with big shiny brown eyes, and appearing a little bit startled or nervous. she has round glasses, a purple turtleneck, and a purple headband

I made a journal for thoughts recently, so maybe that's why I haven't felt the need to post?

Anyway, I found a jar. So I made some small hearts and stars to put in there. For daily habit tracking. Not sure if it will work...
picture of some small paper stars and hearts against a black table. two are inside a glass bottle, and four are outside. they have pretty colors: pale green and blue

I've been really lazy these days (lol 🕺), but here's one of my better sketches. I feel like this is a satisfying drawing. He looks like a cartoon character.

#oc #art
front view picture of a sharp-faced boy with bright blond hair swooping towards the left side of his face. he has blue eyes and freckles scattered across his cheeks, and he is wearing a beige scarf and one silver earring. he looks up with a smile that is a little tired or maybe forced; his eyebrows are furrowed. soft golden light illuminates only half of his face

it's quite a bit nicer, isn't it? Although, the old one on the right was a low-effort drawing, but this comparison still feels nice to look at.

#art #oc
portrait drawing of an oc with neat, short white hair and two strands framing their face. The hair fades to indigo at the tips, matching the ghastly pale eyelashes and pupils. They are looking to the side with an unamused expression and their dark-colored sweater cuff almost covers their mouth. This is the newer drawing. The lines are thinner and neater and the shading is more precise. portrait drawing of the same oc depicted in the other image. This is the older drawing, where the figure faces more towards the left. Their sweater cuff covers their mouth which makes a hard-to-read expression. The colors here are less saturated and the lines are a bit choppy.

Saiki shirt too✨️✨️✨️

#saiki #saikik
a white shirt with a graphic from the anime: The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Saiki is in the middle with a serious expression, hand outstretched, and all around him is bright and colorful text in Japanese and English. Other characters are depicted at the bottom corners with big open smiles. Plus a small depiction of Saiki as a white cat. In the photo, my own cat had come to take a look at the shirt too, and he was carefully inspecting Teruhashi's face

It arrived! Yes! Yes! Amazing! Yay!!!

I was so excited I nearly forgot the alt text...

a picture of a hand-signed shirt from Trickle's merch store. On the front are two narrow pictures, pale against the black fabric: one of Trickle's character with bright blue eyes; and the other of the Yami bound to him, Shoku, with yellow eyes. Their names are written in katakana

I remember being blown away that Izayoi not only sang the song and composed the music, but created a whole animated MV too. I think at that point I knew I had to see the places he'd go.

I couldn't help but color in these ones. They're a bit messy, but I like them.

#art #oc
three sketches of dynamic poses. on top, an adventurer with scruffy blonde hair and small horns leaps backward with hands outstretched, demonic tail trailing after him. he has a determined or daring open smile. on the bottom right, a young elf-like figure lifts one leg and spreads out their arms, as if dancing, with a serene close-eyed expression tossed over their shoulder. dark blue coattails fan out behind them. on the bottom left, a figure with fox ears and a tail hangs upside down from his legs, one hand playfully extended over his head. he tips a goblet of crimson wine towards his face, gleefully laughing, apparently unbothered by the wine freely spilling downward.

Survival on a whim fascinates me. Sometimes you need buckets of care poured into your heart, but sometimes it's just a drop. A stranger says a kind thing to you and you decide to stay alive. Or maybe you hear a song, or laugh at something dumb, or drink a cup of coffee, and you decide to stay alive.

I was using it on my computer, but if I use mobile, I can sneak in kana practice with the Japanese keyboard. I can also pull up the site any time I'm bored or idle. A powerful strategy...!! Discoveries like this make me so happy...

My measly little chromebook had a lot of trouble with the size of this one. The result is the joint struggle of both myself and my poor laptop.

I want to sketch more dynamic poses in the future, so hopefully I work up the motivation.

#art #oc
drawing of someone vaulting through a dark indigo cityscape, his white coat flaring behind him. he has pale white hair fading to purple at the tips, which fall against the base of his neck, and he wears a dark armored suit with a glowing star-shaped indent in the chest. small holograms are projected from gadgets on each of his arms: on his left, a bright red figure grinning with wild enthusiasm, and on his right, a bright blue figure gasping and looking on with awe. as if companions, they illuminate either side of the main figure as they accompany him through the city.

Oh no. I've located a problem. When I feel bad, I want to rest. When I feel good, I also want to rest. There's no point where I actually want to work...

I've finally finished my schoolwork for the semester. I need to think a lot about my future now, but my brain has totally logged out. I'm at zero. All used up. Maybe I'll root myself in spot like a plant, and stay there for a day or two.

The past three mornings, when I've had trouble getting out of bed, my big fluffy cat comes to lay down against me. When he finally gets up, I have to get up too. He powered me up, so I need to get his breakfast. I owe it to him.
