Lineart for a frame from the new beanie animation. On the left is a figure of beanie wearing a scarf she’s dramatically has one arm draped over her head in a gesture of woe. The on the right is Beanie in the window, hand leaning on the glass wistfully looking out, raindrops falling.

I just recently found out as well!! So it seems that if you plant melon, wintermelon, pumpkin or cauliflower in a 3 by 3 grid - every morning there’s a chance it’ll turn into a giant crop!! So I’ve just been planting a bunch like this to increase the chance of one of them turning big :3

Sephie’s new favourite thing is lying down directly in the path of our computer chair wheels, as close to them as humanly possible - bonus points if squishing into them. Zero survivor skills here. She has successfully trained us not to move the chairs at all while sitting on them 🫣
