All the time. Oh. This is the thing that matters the most to me. They showed me love exists all over again. 😭
The seven members of BTS in season one of In The Soop, around a low table, playing a game together. Three of them have their backs to us. The mood seems happy and light, Jin is laughing, Jimin is grinning, and Hobi is smiling.

Sihyuk-hyung, or as Taehyung called him here, "Hyukie-hyung!"
Screenshot of the seven members of BTS. They are standing on an old Korean palace /building, dressed in white and navy. They are smiling and cheering, and Taehyung's is captioned as saying "Hyuk!".

There's this way the city looks when it's blanketed in snow and the clouds are low and snow falling. All the lights from the city reflects off the clouds and the snow and the ground, and it doesn't really get dark. I love that view.
A photo of a snowy park, with path lights and a needle-leaf (idk this word in English. Like firs, but this one drops its needles) tree laden with snow. You can see the snow falling, and the sky is a grey green ish tint.

Another winter season, another round of darning my most favourite lightly fulled mittens, given to me in 2003 or something by a friend. We had been to see Spirited Away that year, in a large group of people, and had caught each other's eyes after and knew that had changed both of us. +
A pair of white wool mittens, with a black soot sprite on the back of the mitten. There's a similar ball of black soot on the other mitten too, just without the eyes. The inside of the mittens, showing a large number of darns in many very different yarns, and threadbare patches on the heel of the palm on the right side mitten.

And finally, the seventh day, release day of Indigo. This is a landscape I have seen a hundred times growing up in Norway, but it's been decades since I was in such a place last.

This concludes the series. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
A snowy mountain landscape in a night sky. There's a perspective thing going on, a tiny figure is crossing the untouched snowy plain before the mountains, and there is a trail of footsteps that start off quite large near the point of view, but you can just barely see a line for the figure in the middle distance. The night sky has some stars, but no moon. There's a clear "blue hour" feeling to the time here, as there's a shadow cast by the figure. There's text on the painting, saying "—Who I am."

Sixth day I have shared before, 8 months ago. It's based on a still in the Hero Film for Spotify made for Indigo's promotions. The words for this and the next both come from that Hero Film.
A white figure in the middle is holding their hands out above their head, and it's unclear if they're floating or falling or rising. There's a gradient effect in the blue around them, light streaks up above and gradually darker and murkier chaos below. Under the figure there's the words "What I want"

Fifth day, I tried something here and I'm not sure how much of a success it was, but I was determined to accept these seven paintings as they came out of me while I was hospitalised so here it is. I have thoughts on this, but again, I don't know how much to share.
A blue monochrome painting, with a tree to the side, a branch reaching out from the trunk. Under the branch is a white figure hugging their knees. There's a spikey aura coming off the figure, and lots of splotches between them and the tree branch.

This fourth one is the one from the initual post, but it needs to be in order or else my brain will be stern with me. More info in the quoted post.
A white box in the center surrounded by four massive bars of blue, with a very clear direction to the bars. There's a figure crouched hugging their knees in the corner of the white box.

I spent all my days there painting, for the brief stay.

You have to open these I think, and I hope bluesky's compression isn't killing all the tiny details.
Three vertical bars of blue. Dark - light - dark. With clear brush strokes going vertically. At the bottom, there's a vague impression of a climbing path going in diagonal increments up partway between the bars. There's a tiny tree on the path. There's a miniscule shape under the tree.

But the rest were all done with this series in mind. Most of them are of a character in the middle of a blue scene, but I hesitate to explain too much, if that makes sense?

The context is I was committed to a mental hospital for an acute crisis, and I was angry and lost and scared.
A tiny white figure lying in their side in a blue water colour abstract scene. The figure is not centred.

People want to see the rest of the series, which I called Bluetype, art for Namjoon, as I posted each painting in the week leading up to his Indigo release.

These are very personal to me, and I'll post them here in order. The first one I started without a proper plan for the series,

#bts #fanart?
A monochrome blue painting, with a chaotic stormy wind blowing. A figure is sitting on a grassy knoll, with their back to a tree. Both tree and the figure's hair is moving in the wind.

I was at an accessible body meditation kind of thing today, an hour of breathing and gentle body movement and meditation. The instructor talked a lot about breathing in a square. Breathe in - hold - breathe out - hold. And I remembered a painting I made in 2022 while committed +

#bts #rm
An abstract painting on a small A5 canvas in landscape mode, all in one tone of blue in various levels. In the middle is a white box, surrounded by these massive blocks of overlapping... Something. They move around the box like a fan, perhaps, or like a cardboard box lid that don't quite meet in the center. In the white square, towards the edge, a tiny stickman figure is sitting in the corner, holding their knees, hair chaotic in perhaps wind.

I think I want to buy clothes from armstreet. I'm pretty sure these clothes are meant for larp or costumes but I'm just looking for pieces I want to wear in my every day life.

Like this dress in warm green or something

I repaired the neckline drawstring casing on this shift tonight. I started all enthusiastic with hand sewing running stitches through an enforcing piece of bias tape, but I had to throw in the towel after 5 hours work and still really only half done. The rest I did thru the sewing machine. +
A selca of me in very high contrast lighting, wearing a white chemise over a grey wool sweater. You can only see the bottom of my chin and two braids. I'm holding up the cordage to show it off - it's a white / grey pearly kind of look. A photo showing off how I had intended to use running stitch sashiko style embroidery to attach the bias tape to the neckline. The embroidery has two directions, horizontal and vertical stitches. I only did this part with vertical stitches, I absolutely hated the work and it would have taken me three times as long to do the vertical ones as well.

This is the coolest thing ever, I love that they got Sam's blessing, and I just placed a rather large order 🤭

A set of fabric patches featuring the Game Changer loop-de-loop logo in various queer flag colours, with the saying "we've been here THE WHOLE TIME" referencing game show host Sam Reich's catch phrase. Aptly enough, the backdrop for the patches is a pinstripe black and grey fabric.

Yes, there is. In the D-Day The Original release there was a photo book that included this photo. High res version in the links.

I just repaired a pair of dog panties with new elastic and I feel like galaxy brain 😂 instead of buying and hacking a new pair. One of the first things I did was make reusable insert pads for Kaylee's heat panties, attached with snap buttons. 11 years on it's still working, with new elastic!
A dog with speckled white and black fur is lying on her back, showing her belly, asking for belly rubs. She has been very recently cut short, so you can see her link tummy skin. Around her groin is a black panty with a new, white, elastic waist band. There's snap buttons and a pad peeking out from the inside of the panty.

Oh! And in the classical art spaces the Romantic era has a lot of the same vibes. We have a word here for National Romantic, a period where Norwegian art was used to create a longing for the beauty of Norwegian nature and culture. It was highly political but tapped into this 낭만.
A painting from middle of the 1800s with a wooden boat full of feast day dressed people rowing through the mountains and fjords of Norway. This painting is called Brudeferd i Hardanger, and probably has an established translation but I don't know it. Something like Wedding Journey in Hardanger? By Tidemand and Gude.

First day of winter here in my temperate (for being so far north) city. It's always an adjustment to get back into driving on a slippery and bumpy surface, all the new sounds and sensations from driving on something uneven. Good thing I changed to winter tyres a few weeks back!
A photo of a snowy urban landscape. There's some bushes in the middle, with white specks of falling snow drifting past them.

That's what I'm thinking too, they can't be THAT upset. Look at this cute baby. And this absolute unit of a side-shoot stem that just decided this summer it wanted to be 2 branches instead of one.
A small pot with spotted begonia cuttings is standing on a table. It has delicate white flowers. A hand showing a thicc stem with 2 small leaves on the top. It looks very straight up and rigid and is almost half a meter already. It is hard to tell from this photo, but it's just a random branch on an existing stem. They do split up like this, but so far she tends to have done that further up the main branch, not this far down towards the root!

I've moved my two big golden pothos from my bedroom into the living room. I move them when it gets cold at night, since I have my bedroom window open all winter. So they're now on winter retreat in the living room. My cabinet is a jungle 😂
A photo many plants on a birch wood sliding door cabinet. There's two spider plants, a massive spotted begonia, and two hanging pothos in the middle. It's very foliage heavy, so you can't really see each pot.

I also left today without playing anything as my brain is not my friend, but we did our job and got the decorations we've been making the past few months up and looking good. This year's theme is revolution and so we made a picket line.
A line of cardboard signs and fabric flags hanging on a black fabric draped wall. It's mostly in Norwegian, with a smattering of English slogans too. Mostly funny puns based on different known nerdy IPs like lord of the rings and stuff. The main banner says "Ingen kan spille før alle kan spille!" which means "no one can play before all can play!" The other side of the picket line. This one is less readable, but we have another flag, some star wars related signs, "Eat the LICH!", a monopoly man with a red NO circle over, and many more.

So the ones I know tend to have a permanent stair that has a gap between top of the stair and the stabbur. I looked up at the website, lokalhistorie, and they have a couple photos. I would have to look into it more than just this to say something as a whole, but these 2 has a tree trunk as a ladder.
A wooden lafted small house on tall tree trunk foundations in the forest, with a hewn tree trunk with cut-off branches still on the trunk as steps up to the house. A small house on one big massive tree trunk foundation, with a tree trunk resting on a ledge used as a staircase up. This one is hewn with notches for steps.

These are the stabbur I'm used to seeing! My grandparents's family mountain cabin cluster had one we used frequently as I recall. Not to store food, but like just any other storage shed.
A lafted wooden hut on a raised wooden foundation and grassy/mossy roof.
