On a lighter note, Kid Me also created this hilarious attempt at a book cover. My main characters were 80% grown-ass dudes (that little guy's a halfling) because YA wasn't a thing back then and most of the MCs I'd read about were men

I found my stash of old notebooks. They go way back to 2001, when I was 12. They're a jumble of letters to God and fantasy worldbuilding. I had to reassure my God that I didn't really believe in other gods, they were just part of the story I was writing. Because I didn't want to hurt His feelings 😆

I was gonna post this on r/curlyhair under the title "HELP ME" but I chickened out

I wish I could 😆 But I'd be like this the whole time:

Every other year, I get this vicious urge to raze all my work to the ground and start over as someone else. I was just rereading my old blogs to see whether I still wanted to keep this username and I came across this... I wonder if anyone else has this problem

So I'm a real person, I'm just bad at all things social. I went out wearing black one day, and the lady I sat next to on the train got up and went to another seat. One man shouldered me aside in a line. I guess I look scary? (The mask is for air pollution btw, Metro Manila = mask always)

Nami's @namioshiro.bsky.social OC Aras. He's a gentle, lovable, negotiably immortal (?) cinnamon roll who's trapped in a tower and sacrificed every morning to ensure peace and prosperity for all. He is so over all of this.

I don't know what's going on with his lips but I'm done 😭

I do love a good underdog 😿

It's Sivanei! He's absolutely hopeless. All I can think about when I'm imagining him is him flopping over. He can turn into a giant version of this animal (R) when his collar is removed. (It's a binturong: their main claim to fame is smelling like popcorn.)

So I rewatched Dan Wells' lecture on the 7-point story structure and did this plot last night. Thanks AuDHD hyperfocus

...And I said I was gonna cool it with the cat pics. 😅 This is different though, because this is, um, art, I guess? I made this Cheshire Cat head in Blender (left) so I could film a talking head YouTube video without showing my face. To the right are my initial ideas that didn't work out.

Finally, this is them now 🥹

The two boys fighting as babies (L) and then as bigger babies (R)

A couple months old...

Ask and you shall receive 😂 These are their baby pics

Okay, I shall soon cool it with the cat pics, I swear. But these are my bottle babies back when they were chicken nuggets (two medium-rare and one well-done) versus now when they are huge cattos overflowing from my lap

It's been over a year since I posted and it was just a pic of some random cats. It's now 2024 and I have basically nothing in my camera roll except my cats. I am now a cat lady. This is my fate. 🫥

Hello world, I guess? I don't have much to say right now, so here's a couple of cats from my morning walk.
