The Tsilli/Tsiyi script! This script is used in a large part of western Peijh and is used to write, among other languages, Qull'lie, the native language of Qi and Mel. Seb also speaks it, though~

And I thought it was fun to compare their handwriting👀

A table depicting the cursive characters of the Tsilli alphabet and their transcriptions. Below it are two example sentences.

The same sentence (zan ërahi e-ijinueche-e, 'stars could be seen') written by Qi, Mel, and Seb. Mel's handwriting is neat, but Qi's and Seb's are a bit messier.

Is it nap time? 🥺 Zen found Al exhausted on the couch again and provides the deep sleeper with his secret move; comforting lap and gentle headpats 🤭🤲🏻💞

What's your fave detail from this cute moment? 🌸

Little Storytime in ALT 📖💖

#OC #Art #Illustration #ChibiArt #ChibiCouple

Cute Chibi Art of Zen gently patting Alyx's hair as the latter sleeps deeply on his lap. They're both sitting on the couch, surrounded by soft, pillowy cushions. The words Pat Pat is drawn behind them.

🌙 Storytime: Zen's Little Secret

". . . . . ."

With nary an answer to my knocks, I finally excuse myself and peek into the office...

"Your Highness...?"

... Ah, I see. He's fallen asleep on the couch again... He's been so exhausted, if only he allows himself to slow down just a tad...

". . . Your Highness, your neck would be quite cramped if you sleep in that manner..."

Yet as usual, I find myself smiling and chuckling despite it all. If nothing else, I can at least provide him some semblance of comfort, yes...? He'd never know, after all...

Gingerly, I take off my belt skirt full of weapons and sit down, guiding his head to my shoulder, away from his neck-breaking position, hmhm. When I untie his hair, his soft wavy strands cascade down his slouching back, bringing with them the warm, earthy scent of his shampoo--

'No, I shouldn't linger on it...!'

I shake my head and with a breath, I finally lower him to nestle on my lap, and ahh... his sleeping face is truly so adorable, I wish I can see it as often as I see his mischievous grins...

"Hmhm..."

"Mmh..."

Ah-- I poked his cheek without thinking again...! Bad! You certainly have a bad, cursed hand, Zen!!!!

"Nnh... Zz... Zzz..."

. . . Haa, I'm so glad he's a deep sleeper...

"Well..."

Softly stroking the top of his head, careful not to leave too much of an impression, I whisper...

"I wish you sweet dreams, Your Highness..."

Though I can only give you comfort in small, little ways, I hope...

I hope it all still matters.

Just like your smile has been for me.

Fast DIY air filter for smoke.

HOW TO BUILD A LOW-COST AIR FILTER

W

ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SCIENCES

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITY of WASHINGTON

What you'll need:

Box fan

20"x20"x1" furnace filter (MERV 13 or FPR 10)

Optional: Duct tape or bungee cords

1 Place filter on back (air intake side) of fan.

2 Use the duct tape or bungee cords to attach the filter securely to the fan.

Make sure that the arrow on the side of the filter is pointing towards the fan.

Use tape or cords only around the edges; do not block the air flow through the fan.

3 Place in an area away from any obstacles and turn the fan on.

53

Run the fan on high for a few hours if your indoor air quality is already poor, then turn it to medium to keep it clean.

4 Keep all windows and doors closed to prevent new smoke from getting into your home!

It's always hard as an artist when you do a bunch of different things and aren't sure how to separate your body of work ;;
Do I want to make a comics only account?
It doesn't really fit with pixel art and my other stuff...

Why I want to make comics 4/15
🌟🌟🌟
#comicartist #nagatakabi

I used to like autobiographical works. At some point though, I lost interest.

But then I read "My lesbian experience with loneliness" by Nagata Kabi and my view changed.

Honestly I...Thought drawing about my feelings would be cheap. Because I could easily do it. It felt natural.

And because who would even want to see it anyway?

I didn't want to be that guy who just draws about being sad all the time.

I didn't want to be cheap just because I couldn't make a story. I... Didn't want it to be ignored either.

In the vast sea that is social media.

I don't want my feelings to drown, unseen, ultimately touching no one.
I don't want to be misunderstood.
