This is my Mabel, who is actually a Mabel! She is named after Mabel from the Pirates of Penzance thanks to our shared operatic tendencies and has been adapting to a recent move with relative grace
a small dilute tortoiseshell cat rests in a laundry basket on top of a bookshelf. Despite clearly lying on clean laundry, she stares as though YOU are the one committing the crime.

I can get fancy mac and cheese ten floors down and across a pedway from my new apartment anytime I want. Dangerous.
A bowl of pasta in creamy tomato sauce, topped with cheese, breadcrumbs, and a piece of prosciutto, looking deeply tempting

At least I have a dedicated nap partner

Who needs "tv" or "played station" when you have cat
A small grey cat crouches on top of a long empty tv stand made of dark wood. A tangle of wires sits to one side, indicating that things are still in the process of being set up

The hunt is on
A small dilute tortoiseshell cat lies half concealed under a circular playmat, her body and gaze intent on her prey - a bright green fuzzy worm

I just want everyone to look at my Rook #DragonAge
A video game screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard of an elf with faint vine tattoos on his face, scars, lots of freckles, and long red hair. He is wearing green armour with gold pauldrons and accessories. There's a faint, wistful smile on his face, like an important NPC just told him something bittersweet

I may be forsaking my planned #DragonAgeTheVeilguard romance because Emmrich is INCREDIBLY charming and cute... I'm terribly conflicted
A male elf with long red hair and freckles wearing leather armour gazes soulfully up a taller man with salt and pepper hair and gold embellishments on his robe. The lighting is greenish and spooky. They look like they're about to kiss.

He's got beautiful big anime eyes, perfect hair, a terrible personality, and an inability to stop flirting with everyone he meets, it's the best
The previously mentioned red haired, freckled elf more now in better lighting which shows his purple and blue heterochromia and the vine tattoos on his cheeks and forehead. His big anime eyes are apparently wide with surprise

This is Flint Laidir - I struggled a bit with the character creator but in the end I'm really happy with him!

I have found a surefire cure for getting The Twisted Ones (by @tkingfisher.com) horror mantra ("I twisted myself about like the twisted ones...") stuck in my head and it's going "ohoho I TWIMSTED mineself about like the twimsted ones" and thinking of this meme instead and it has been a boon
a meme consisting of a picture of a long spotted cat that looks like maybe an ocelot or serval on a spiral staircase, twisting its head around to look behind it, captioned "Ohoho what is this I hear behindst me, mayhaps I TWIMST aroumd and take an peep for mineself"

Mabel is NAPPING while the cleaner runs the vacuum in the living room. I think she's worn out from supervising!
The little dilute tortie cat is curled up on the top tier of a cat tower in front of a window covered by Venetian blinds. The whole image is kind of peacefully taupe.

Since I finally put the bsky app on my phone, some cat pictures. Mabel is being surprisingly chill with the the cleaner in the house
A small dilute tortie cat cautiously approaches a blue mixing bowl of water, seemingly concerned it's been turned to poison now that it's been refilled The small dilute tortie cat sips at the large blue bowl of water, sufficiently reassured that it is safe to drink The small tortie cat lies on the floor in an alert but relaxed posture, her head raised and ears perked forward and her tail loosely curled behind her. She's supervising someone off screen

I created a 'suffering' category on my cross stitch pattern ko-fi shop today. But I still haven't taken the garbage out.
a screenshot of a ko-fi shop showing four products, all digital embroidery patterns. The first reads 'cringe cry crawl' in a floral font and floral border, the second reads 'got the morbs' with some flourishes at top and bottom including a broken heart and a sad face, the third is a version of the Serenity Prayer altered to be about taking the garbage out decorated with Art Nouveau water lilies, and the third is a collection of small blackwork mottos like 'fuck' and 'I'm tired' surrounded by flowers and vines

sometimes you get to witness a crime in the planning stages (target: my toes)
A small dilute tortoiseshell cat crouches on a tan carpet; her eyes are focused, ears forward - she is ready to pounce the same dilute tortoiseshell cat has changed positions to be seen in profile, still focused, paws apart as she recalibrates her plan

There may be the horrors, but there are also very small cats who love us very much... who also have the horrors, at least judging by that facial expression
A dark grey dilute tortoiseshell cat lies on a tan carpet with her head in her human's hand. Her eyes are wide, as though she is in an existential crisis

I also designed a bunch of cross stitch patterns that I think are very funny or very pretty or both
a cross stitch pattern that says 'got the morbs', decorated with flourishes and a broken heart on the top and more broken flourishes and a sad face emoji on the bottom a cross stich pattern with the quote "Death first to vultures and scavengers" from the novel Gideon the Ninth, decorated with a Ninth House skull and flourishes on top and flourishes with two skeletal hands holding an anatomical heart on the bottom a cross stitch pattern inspired by a quote from Elden Ring, "Togethaaaah we will devowaah the very GODS" decorated with lava-inspired flourishes on top and bottom and a snake twined through the Serpent-Hunter spear from the game a cross stitch pattern of the quote "love as thou wilt" from Kushiel's Dart, decorated with a thorn and rose pattern on top and thorns with a small heart on the bottom

In January, I bought myself a drawing tablet and a couple of paint programs to play around with and had some fun with those throughout the year
a simple drawing of a castle wall in two point perspective, showing two towers with a wall between them with an arched entry in the centre a simple two point perspective drawing of a more complex building with a square ridge around the building, a portico and glass doors showing the inside of the building, and the building casting a shadow a celtic knot-inspired design made of interconnected diamonds. the diamonds are coloured purple and there are simple stars in the middle of them a very light purple sketch of a logitech wireless mouse
