"Just do as you're told," Mogget said firmly. "Think of yourself as Abhorsen's sworn sword-hand, if it makes you feel better, though in this present era, you'll find common sense is more important than honor. "Very well", Touchstone muttered, humbly. He stood up and put on the underclothes and shirt, but couldn't get the trousers past his heavily muscled thighs. "There's a kilt and leggings in one of the chests back there," Mogget said after watching Touchstone hopping around on one leg, the other trapped in too-tight leather."

if you, as an author, aren't introducing your male love interests like this, what are you even doing with your life?

why do i love the conflict more than anything else . the misery . the incompatibility that spreads like oil slick . wanting so desperately for resolution that never comes . hmmm

i'm late to this year’s art review thingy bc I had a reeeally busy december and then left my laptop behind when I came home so couldn’t finish any drawings or get my files 🥲 anyway I’ve been reunited with it now so!!!

it’s been a weird but mostly good year!! i started my first proper job in the anim industry and moved house twice. there’s tons of stuff i wanted to make this year but couldn’t find time for bc of the amount of. everything. going on all the time. it was actually a bit hard finding art to fill the spaces this year, which is why i had to stretch my little amount of sketchbook week stuff over two months. it’s been a little bit frustrating - i feel like i’ve learned so much from my job but i haven’t had much time to do anything to show it, but i guess that’s the trade-off. it’s cool being a small part of someone else’s idea but that means i get less time & energy for my own. i want to try and strike a better balance between the two this year and i really hope that soon i’ll be able to share the thing i’m working on i’m literally gonna die of excitement 😭

it’s been really cool getting to make more content of my ocs and see ppl enjoy it, you guys and the nice comments you leave are everything to me. i hope this new year is kind to everyone and thanks for sticking around <3

some of these i haven't posted so to give due credit -

I have this weird dead corner in the guestroom and turned it into a graphic novels nook!

Still a lot to do, but I am just happy to not see a sea of bins anymore. 😅

considering making a few muse changes to this blog! see below:

im considering removing my arc.ana muses mainly bc i dont have as much muse for them anymore and it's a game i genuinely haven't played content for in years now. ( i havent played since i've touched this blog :( )

in the same instance, i might streamline my muse lists to be primarily love interests and remove some of the more background characters i have for various oto.me's because of how not well known the games are. probably kaz.uki, yasu.hiro and er.iko from cxm and marc.o, robert.o ( mayyybe oliv.er but idk i find him the funniest guy in pio.fiore i think he might just have to stay.)

dropping down to only 4 muses for cupip.ara: rau.l, gil.l, alla.n and shel.by! owen does not get the oliver level of respect, but ry.uki despite being the tsundere of the game i find myself with waning muse for either way!

on a more positive note there'll be additions in the future, the 4 from sdv i spoke about before, and now all is well i will most likely be playing virch.e evermore soon. i also think its about prime time i added mh.in and ai.s from touchstarved.

If I have Covid (again) to end the year, Imma Be Very Annoyed.

i just thought of a weird idea for a christmas poll:

[truethes]

watched some of the available scenes on youtube but honestly forgot how often people commented to ku.ro about how 'normal' mahi.ru was for an eve which, at the beginning is rather easy to relate to mahi.ru's simple outlook of life but also equivalates to how, before this, ku.ros life has always been alongside other supernatural beings.

went on a doll spree with all the xmas money i got hi

This is a start, anyway. Lots of research and work ahead.

i dont like talking about when im making something while im making it because i feel like it ends up making me put pressure on myself to then put said thing out into the world as a finished project and for it to be worthy of being put out into the world

but thats stupid because i make it entirely for me and its always so self indulgent and it doesnt matter if its good or not lol

and anyway all this to say im finally writing something again and its so self indulgent and its so fun and it feels great

like instead of dragging my feet and getting distracted im looking up at the clock like 'ah fuck, how has that much time passed? what do you mean i need to get off and sleep?'

its such a relief. i feel like something keeps stopping me from just making things these last few years, so when i finally do, i feel like i can actually breathe. my hands were made to create, and i feel it every time i finally do.

Idk if I shared this but I spilled coke on my 3DS XL and now I am using my girlfriends teeny tiny pink 3DS and my left pointer finger is so broken from holding down L so hard to aim in Samus Returns that I can barely play
