24/12/23

Despite not sleeping that well, I woke up with relative ease, so I walked my dog, and once back I packed my bag of things to bring to my sisters house tomorrow (pictured is me trying to work out how many films I should bring, and if I should bring any in a series), I then did a good bit of reading from ‘Chasing The Moon’, after lunch I finished ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’, soon after that I finished writing up the last of my quotes from that book, I then had a nice long bath, worked on my 2024 reading journal, did more common place work, and finally crashing in bed to do more reading. I love days like this.

I’m in the midst of Christmas gift planning and may I say it’s going

✨poorly✨

To try and help myself not spend too much or buy a billion things my boyfriend doesn’t need, I implemented a 5 gift limit. As planning went on, I started to realize a lot of my “gifts” are more experiences than anything, and are costing me WAY more in the long run. Did I start readjusting my plans once I realized this? Yes. Did I CHANGE any of these plans? Nah.

So now we’re doing an experience once a week as a special “date night” sort of thing, where I can give him a new gift each week. I did have to work together with him for the first surprise which was a cooking class we’ve wanted to do for a year, so we can each get a discount cause these are up there in price but worth it 😅

Week two will be one of my favorites because I get to go “surprise babe, you’re now a level 3 good mythical society member!!” And watch his mind explode. It also comes with a great discount I can use to get a ton of gifts from the actual website itself for Christmas. We’ll order in whatever food he wants and spend the night watching all the new content we can.

Week three will be a concert/rave with a group we enjoy so we can let loose and dance and focus on having fun together with good music 🥰 and maybe some birria? Because god how good is birria?

Last but not least, just days before Christmas, we’re gonna take it easier on the cash and bake Christmas cookies and watch movies in matching pajamas and be generally adorable together. I’m still not sure what all his stocking will have in it besides a new bucket hat, but I do know I’ll be mixing it up this year and making fondue for Christmas! Gonna have all the veggies, steak, homemade Asiago bread, yeah we’re gonna hurt.

Should I probably be thinking more about moving? Yes. Is that a slightly later problem? Also yes!

If I were Dan and Phil I would never hard launch because it’s so embarrassing that we were right. Like what do you mean you were so in love a bunch of thirteen year old’s clocked it? I would never give that satisfaction.

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

SCARY MONTH

[secretarysong]

BEEP BEEP!!!! Mayday delivery!! 🧨🧨🔥🔥

not exactly sure what date but somewhere within This Week! marks my first 1 year of being an actual NSR fan (and my subsequent upwards spiral since then) so to celebrate i am throwing a BIG PARTY in FESTIVAL PLAZA and ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED!!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑 Just kidding. there is no party. BUT! below the Keep Reading i will share some of my earliest (and somewhat crude) drawings of mayday (and a bit of zuke). it feels like it's been ages since then...

transitional phase....... these range from like november 2023 to march 2024 i believe? in no particular order

fun fact about me; i used to be a Strictly total drama fanartist and i preferred to draw pretty on-model to the very heavily stylized characters in the show. it was kind of difficult going from... that (Hardly ever venturing out of my comfort zone) to the oh-so-scary and intimidating world of No Straight Roads. in order to make art i'd be happy with, i'd have to inevitably get used to THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPAACE and... *gulp...* Dy.. Dy... DYNAMIC ANGLES!!!!!!!

love is one hell of a motivator however. and i love this schtewpid game and i love its world and characters and most of all i love MAYDAY!!! and here i am Today! obviously i still have a long looonngg way to go and much to learn but i've still come pretty far. and i'm pretty proud of myself! 🐊🐊🐊

Jesus man, relax.

[hereforthecandles]

This is so shamelessly earnest but I truly cannot wait for Advent like. The coziness of coming into a church when it’s been decorated for the holidays!! Nativity scenes!! The Advent candles!! Reflecting on the journey to Bethlehem!! The quiet excitement in the dark because even when there is hardship, we know that He is coming!!!
