#6 years on the block

wanted to share this

There was a short segment where we get to hear Skully J. Graves (like, with the in-game live-2D model) monologue about Halloween. After saying good evening, he opens by… GiIVING YOU a KISS????? He literally announces it: “I greet you with a kiss” or (more directly) “I give a kiss to this good/wonderful encounter”.

The Japanese transcription for the line is 「この良き出会いにキスを。」 and キス is kisu/kiss… LIKE. I know he most likely means just a brief platonic kiss to say hello (similar to the European style where your lips don’t really touch the other person and it’s more like pantomiming a kiss on each cheek)… Or maybe he means a metaphorical kiss, not a literal one??? BUT STILL THAT’S SO BOLD TO START WITH, ESPECIALLY WITH A STRANGER (<- my inner Rollo Flamme comin’ out)

Edit: Now that the event is actually out, we can confirm that he does, in fact, LITERALLY kiss you (on the back of the hand) 😭

its so silly but i just keep thinking abt being in norway and seeing for the first time kinda ever that like governments can do things to make peoples life better. for no other reason but just to improve things. like im sure norway has lots of problems i didnt see on a trip but i cannot stress how insane it was that the government had done things because it would be nice. to take care of people. ?????

I recommend being tactically mediocre at your job if you can possibly get away with it because people are always telling me oh Kat you are a model employee, you are a shining star in our workplace, so can you do this and this and this and

These are all doodles made during art blocks that I've been having fun with so I went back to clean up and color them for yall^^ Uhh some thoughts and the two screenshots I referenced under the cut

First up dog breeds:

There wasn't any thought put into Cass when I started because of these being block breakers, so I just picked what'd be recognizable/cute, that being a border collie. I sketched Cass and Hiro the same day so he didn't have much thought either other than it was imperative that he have only one floppy ear because, as stated previously, it's cute.

A few weeks go by and I start working on these again. I started sketching Tadashi which got me to think about the breeds a little more since I wanted Hideo and Kate to be different dogs. Ended up going with Kai Ken on a whim which maaaan kinda regret a teeny bit because he should've been a Kishu Ken but I forgot about em. It would've been much more fitting for Hideo to be a Kishu Ken instead since the breed originates from the Kansai region where Hideo's from. ((Technically. Kishu Kens actually originate from the Kii/Kishū Province, now modern day Wakayama and Mei Prefectures, both of which are in the Kansai region))

Anyway the Kai Ken thing presented a problem when I started coloring these yesterday because Kais are brindle and uhhh that's hard to translate into the Bluey style lmao. Still not thrilled with it, but ah it's fine these are just for fun. I was going to make Cass and Kate the same color but they kept looking way too similar so Kate got the black coat while I made Hideo warmer. Voilà

I referenced the last two sketches from Stickbird and Cricket.

how to love yourself in 22 steps

most likely not a perfect guide but here's something you can base your strategies off of

make a list of your favorite things

color? food? drink? clothing? place?

now go and do/find/wear/eat those things

like wear your fav sweatshirt, be around your fav people (if possible), do your fav activity, etc

now once you've done that

chill

relax

give yourself a break; like try meditating or something

no screens, no thoughts, no nothing. just you and a blanket, pillow, or maybe a stuffed animal.

none of this working?

option one: keep this up for a week, maybe a bit longer, sometimes self love takes time

option two: if you've already done option one, maybe try to get someone who can help you through your problems

depending on the severity of the problems, it could be a friend, sibling, parent, or your therapist

also please add the things that work for you to this

everyone is different

some people say that that's a bad thing

they can shut the fuck up

being different is fine and modifying lists like this is recommended

also try to distance yourself from bad things, or things that remind you of hard times. sometimes you can't do this (ex if the bad thing is your mom or dad and you're a minor), and that's ok, just try to establish some sort of boundary.

you might have to learn to filter people out (not just ignoring them, just completely forgetting their existence entirely). it's a skill i have that sometimes does more harm than good, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.

wishing you luck on your journey. dms are always open for venting, and no i do not give a shit if you are a stranger. if you want to vent, go for it.

love you all a lot <333

Blog 1: lol anyone else seeing a lot of strawberries in new recipes now? sometimes its fun but i really dont get the appeal of adding it to everything. why did you make strawberry garlic bread

Blog 2: u kno im not a fan of strawberries, i really like the rich sweet and sour notes from oranges, oranges and chocolate is such a good combo. i altered a recipe for a smoothie with oranges last week and it was soooo good ill give you my notes if you want Reblogged by: Blog 1: ahaha yesss i love chocolate and oranges

Blog 3: I canNOT believe the hate im seeing to strawberries right now, like, you know guys know the rule don't like don't bake right?? you know you can hit the back button right?? honestly what's wrong with yall

Open draft- wait guys you know there's a difference between leaving a comment on a recipe saying you hate strawberries and the recipe writer should never use them, and going to your own blog to say you don't really like strawberries, without naming any specific people or recipes right? you know there's a difference right?? - Save - Post - Discard

Draft discarded

Blog 4: why is everyone jumping on the strawberry hate train right now. what is wrong with you. Reblogged by: Blog 5: I knowwww like guys some people stop baking because of reading things like that, please stop it, if you don't like strawberries you can be quiet about it

Open draft- im so sorry if anyone's getting sent mean messages or comments about what they're writing and baking, but i'm literally not seeing any of that and if you are, please use the block button. but someone making a post on their own blog is not that, and if you can't see the irony in you being allowed to complain on personal blogs but not them i can't help you... - save- post- discard

Draft discarded

Blog 2: are strawberries even in season?

Blog 6: woo cherry pie!
