fall is here!

2025 oct 2

what's new with the site? current main projects:
  1. set up ocs profiles
  2. digital sketchbook
  3. weekly game journal entries

sorry for the radio silence for a bit. i've been tired! summer really wears me out. so just a few updates for today's entry.

mostly, i've been spending my freetime drawing. it's been fun! a lot of what i'm making is pretty boring / indulgent ... i still don't feel like i'm capable of making finished pieces or painting or doing anything but sketching ... but i've put what i've made on my art blog. i've also been posting art on bluesky, but i've been deleting it after a bit just because public socmed is too stressful for me lol. i won't lie though, it's been motivating getting feedback from people ... i hate how much i rely on comments to want to make stuff, especially when what i make is so For Me, but ... oh well. if you take a look, enjoy! and thank you!

most important new site feature is that i added a map page. i've thought it kind of redundant in the past, since you can access everything pretty easily on the main pages, but ... it's a cute thing to have, and i'm also using it as a way of adding clearer content warnings to pages; also something i've kind of felt is unnecessary, but. it's there if people would like it.

slowly making my way through game reviews & oc page reuploads ... writing is just hard for me man. even if i like doing it, hahah. i'm feeling a little inspired to get back into it, though ... so more stuff may be coming soon.

moving on!

what's new with me?

not much! fall is finally making its way to where i live in the northern hemi, although it's still high 60's / low 70's and sunny most days. :( the bigger news is that my partner's sister had a baby! she's very excited to have a niece it seems, so i am trying to be supportive despite being kind of stressed out about it. it's not our kid, but her family is very tight-knit & i think they expect everyone to get involved with care ... which i will try to be a part of, but it does exhaust & freak me out lol. the baby's name is griffin! isn't that a sick name for a wittle girl ...

hmm, what else. a gigantic pine tree fell in our backyard ( no damage caused ) and it cost a crap ton to remove ... frustrating since we have a big wide open window into our neighbor's yard now. ;_; we'll have to plant something else in its wake ... but we're both inexperienced with gardening, so we're still figuring out what exactly. we also had our first wind warning for the year! it was pretty mild, but it's a reminder that fall is here & power outages are on the horizon. joy ...

idk what else to say. just wanted to get a quick update in before too long. thanks everyone for stickin' around! i hope i get back to work on this bad boy soon ... if i can drag myself away from dragon's dogma (2) and drawing long enough to do so. :J see ya later!
