#winter is my jam

Summer heat is worse in the UK but is also even worse if you’re in the city or in the southern half of the country. 26C in Oxford- hell, hate it, want to become skeleton. 26C in the rural Midlands- bit uncomfy, especially if you’re outside or doing a strenuous activity but otherwise bearable

After a longer time of living together Sun has grown quite touchy, holding Y/N every chance he gets.

Rah I forgot to post this last week. These are some of my favorite monsters that I had the pleasure of designing for the 2023 Winter Melon Jam. The theme was “charm” and we ran with the idea of making a monster parlor, where your objective is to make these creatures more charming.

Our game “Monster Parlor” was made within 72 hours by me, @puddleorganism , cobyte, and smallbuggames!

(From left to right: Squid, Rug, Hera, and the Vinegar Twins) there are 9 monsters total!

On another note, I’m superrrrr interested in the idea of making speculative biology/species out of some of these guys tbh.

Below there is the link to our game if you’d like to check it out.

Have I told yall that I would fucking die for them yet. I feel like this is smth I should be yelling at the top of my lungs at any given time. I absolutely adore Sonic and Tails' dynamic but this??? This is actual siblings rep

[balkanradfem]

to be completely fair, eating jam with glass in it is not that bad compared to the number of times you've poisoned yourself with various unknown plants/mushrooms...

well, are we now going to criticize me for every danger I put myself into,,, that could take a while

I'm just figuring out how important music is in my life! This is coming from a long while trying to cut down on my music use, mostly because I was listening to it so much that it felt more like I couldn't do anything without popping in some earbuds, and partially because of other personal reasons. Some of my routines changed, forcing me to not listen to music while doing certain things, and it ended up becoming that besides working on homework or drawing, I didn't listen to music at all. But I've given myself a break today since I have nothing to do and since, for reasons, I'm feeling just a lil crappy today—and boy, I'm starting to realize again just why I love music!!

I love the diverse music taste I've developed over the years! My family is not only big about music but big about listening to it loud, so the majority of my music taste for most of my life has just been Christian hiphop (Lecrae, KB, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, and ironically Tonex, whose album where he was struggling hard with his gayness has been my favorite concert movie since I was 5) and gospel music (Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, etc.). And music was one of the few connections between me and my race (I grew up feeling pretty estranged from my blackness as a kid, but the popular songs they played at the YMCA in the 2010s were some of the few things I could use to feel more connected) and between me and my classmates/friends at the Y (I still have fond memories of playing FNAF songs in mat forts and reciting lyrics at pool parties). But I got tired of knowing I could never bond with anyone besides family friends music taste-wise when I was in high school, and so I started listening to secular music on my own time. And that's how I first found Ghost and Pals, a vocaloid artist and one of the first secular music folks I listened to as a kid (can you smell the religious trauma yet? Lol), and that's how I bonded with one of my best friends in early college (ironically, also my first time being publically queer). Now I listen to Kpop, anime songs, songs from warriors MAPs, songs from musicals (Hamilton and In the Heights <3), latin songs, metal songs, and even some secular songs young me would've been too scared to listen to.

And music has always been one of my biggest sources of stimming! I can't dance to save my life, but music will sure get me to flick my fingers and hit my fist against my shoulder furiously. Music was one of the first clues that I like stimming with vibration too (since I love laying against the car door and turning up the music loud enough to feel the world shake around me). And music was one of the first things that made me look into ADHD or autism (specifically, listening to Ghost and Pals songs for a month straight and getting my friend at early college [who also has ADHD] to start looking at me funny when I was discovered doing chores and listening to one of three songs for the fifth time). Music is so cool it'll get me to wax poetically. It was one of the things that kept me together during my roughest times and soothed me during my best. I listen to it while I write, while I cry, while I hang out with my friends and family and while I chill by myself. It's how I relax after a long day, and it's how I feel safe. I feel kinda emotional finally having music hit that spot in me without feeling like I need it to do stuff.
