While I’m waiting to hear about the hardback version of The Fabulous Gays, I’m working on a little website for my characters, a place with bios, art, playlists, and more!
It’s gonna take some iterating, but it’s looking pretty good already. Lots of progress~ 😊📈

PS: While in between tasks I got to thinking what “Anxiety” looked like in my head, and without a second thought I ended up drawing that little dude.
It’s kind of cute, in an ugly kind of way? 🤔

Or in today’s case, just some casual misery. Spent most of today fixing the hard-back cover for The Fabulous Gays (yes, again).
Here’s hoping this time it sticks!!

And while that’s cookin’, I’m switching gears and working on my not-so-secret project of making a website for my characters~
More updates about that soon. For now though, I’m gonna get up and go for a walk. The weather is lovely today! ⛅️🍃

We beat the Voice of Cards demo yesterday and I gotta say, I wasn’t too excited at the start but the aesthetic + chill presentation kind of won me over!
I really like the narrator, and the game is oozing with that Yoko Taro energy. Excited to try the full thing~ 😊

I kept thinking “shouldn’t the battle theme be getting me hyped up?” but I feel like I was expecting the wrong thing.
The textures, tactile feel of the objects in the game, and the calming music all made me feel like the game is...

This month has been a mess—in more ways than one—but I’m looking on the bright side of things. Even during the messiest month there’s good things to appreciate~
For one, I’ve done *so much* reading this month!
I’m currently on track to finishing my 8th book~ 😊

I’m doing research for a book, so I’m reading the original Pinocchio novel—and maaaan this is something else.
Five minutes in: Pinocchio kills Jiminy Cricket.
Also later on (and for completely unrelated reasons) Pinocchio gets sentenced to four months in PRISON.
PS: I was so relieved when Playland actually showed up near the end of the book because for 90% of my time reading I kept thinking “holy crap did Disney just make up the Playland stuff because if so that’s so effed up”
But no. It’s...

Life’s too darn short to worry about what other people think. So go right ahead, give your protagonist heterochromia. Just do it. Live your best life ✌️

Kitty and I have been playing a lot of Miitopia together, really loving that game. It sure would be nice if Nintendo announced a Tomodachi Life remake today during the direct~ 👉👈

Had a very good and productive day today! Getting back into the flow~
Also, I thought I’d feel more tired without coffee—but my energy levels are more consistent now? Crazy 😲
