Look at this guy!
At the very end of 2021, I picked up a watercolour set that had been left unused for three years. As you can guess, this wasn't my first attempt at painting my cat. He's so pretty in real life! If I didn't finally post him now, the internet would probably be forever deprived of his glorious presence! :D
A photo of him under the cut!

Getting Minecraft's New TikTok Cape (Even If TikTok Is Blocked In Your Country)
The browser version doesn't display any of the prompts, forcing anyone who wants the cape to use the app.
For me, the issue with this was that I live in a country where TikTok is restricted, and the app seems to use some very convoluted methods to determine user's location, meaning I couldn't just use a VPN like with the desktop version. I also didn't want to install the app on my phone.
Here's what worked for me (all the steps starting from 3 are supposed to be done in the emulated space):
1. Install BlueStacks 5 Pie 64-bit,
2. Open BlueStacks X, from there, run App Player (icon that looks like layers of something stacked together in the bottom left corner),
3. I suspect that this step doesn't do anything, but disable use of location (Settings app > Personal > Location > Use location),
4. Log into Google Play Store using the app,
5. Download a VPN (in my case it was VPN.lat) from Google Play Store and connect to a server in a country where TikTok isn't blocked or restricted,
6. Close or force stop Google Play Store (Settings > Device > Apps > Google Play Store > Force Stop) before opening it again (it should act as if you are in a different country now, but you can try clearing storage in the settings in case it doesn't),
7. Download TikTok (it appears that once you begin downloading you can turn off VPN until it's done),
8. Make sure your VPN is on and log into TikTok (preferably with an account you can sacrifice to potential shadow ban) using an e-mail and a one-time code (for me, using a phone number resulted in a message about running out of attempts from the very beginning, and entering a password was not possible due to a non-existent problem with the internet connection).
Yes, apparently, I like chromatic aberration that much. No, I don't have a TikTok account, I used my friend's abandoned one. The last part is important as I've heard that using a VPN can send you into shadow ban.

There is an easy way to paste long texts into Minecraft books!
After a long period of absence I emerge to make a single post, this time not as an artist (I'm still losing to artblock) but as an amateur creator of terrible Python scripts. Pasting long texts into Minecraft books has been the bane of my existence recently, so I thought I'd share my solution.
Said solution is an if-elif spaghetti script that splits text from a file into parts based on the width of characters used in it, then loads them onto clipboard and pastes them into a book one by one. It's supposed to do what Block Book Binder by Andrew Lalis does but without resulting in some pages being empty (at least, in Java Edition 1.20) and with partial support for Cyrillic.
Another script to come out from under my hand copies pages of a pre-existing book, saves their contents as a file for later use, and automatically pastes them after a key press.
Programming is far from my strong suit but I'm pretty happy with what I managed to do (with the exception of that comma in the prompt that I forgot to remove, it bugs me so much now that I noticed it). I hope this will be helpful to someone other than me! 💙

Recently switched to Photoshop to try it out and I think I'm going to switch back to SAI. I like Photoshop but I kinda forgot how much I rely on my blending brushes

Just was in the mood to draw something dark. This piece took surprisingly long to finish...
