it’s really difficult getting into my characters’ heads and actually writing their voices correctly. I’m too focused on trying to figure out the conversation as it is.

maybe i just need to go back over it again once ive got all the context together

writing is such a rollercoaster if an activity

i feel like i’m doing well

and then 15 minutes later i feel like my writing sucks ass

i need to keep reminding myself that revisions exist and that i’m working on outlines right now

I would be way too good at writing robot smut "They glittered in the bench lighting; little nicks and scratches in their dark grey paint left silver lines of stars down the creases in their frame." maybe it's just me but this feels very horny

this is it

this is my new favorite monster

holy shit it’s so cool

fun fact!

women are real

and you can be one if you want

i really need to stop personifying the self checkout registers at the supermarket i work at but they all have such distinct personalities

#1 is lactose intolerant (she has inexplicable issues with milk) and she’s full of soup

#2 has some nerve issues (her scale is broken) and so she’s in standby a lot of the time so she doesn’t get overstimulated

#4 can’t remember a phone number to save her life

and #8 has been in standby for like a week because her coin slot stopped working

i completely forgot to post this earlier but i met someone at Anthro New England who had maybe the best outfit i’ve ever seen

sometimes you really just need a big strong wolfgirl to grab you and run away with you into the woods

I have, yet again, had an idea that was ruined as soon as i tried it because anxiety

sometimes i remember how fucked the world is and it gives me the weirdest explosion of simultaneous motivation and depression for like 20 minutes

NEW WILDS BETA NEXT MONTH ?????????????????????? FUCK YES FHSKFJHFHSGGDJLSLCJCHZBSJFGGG

IM GOING TO HAVE LIKE 50 HOURS IN WILDS BEFORE THE GAME RELEASES

im so excited for this game

x 源の琉璃

I was doing a secret santa with some friends and I made a plushie for the person I got

it’s a chuchu from BOTW

I'm trying to decide which one of these designs is better or if I should go with an even more different body plan for the mech

I think I'm leaning toward the one with the larger legs rn but I'm not sure

I don't expect to get any responses on this but I'd appreciate hearing which one people like better

i’m not sure when the last time was that i was this excited to work on something

when the full game of MHWilds releases my roommate and i are planning to make a bunch of food from the game to eat during the first day or two it’s out

since there might be barely anything else we do

i’m drawing again

this is the main character of the story i’m working on rn along with her mech

if i finish this i’ll post a more complete version

you know the project brainrot is bad when i start drawing again

I'm getting into warhammer 40k and I got a box of tau minis

These are the first two i've actually finished painting

i'm planning on making the mech suit I got into a racing mech and then making the pathfinder team I got into the mechanics and pit crew

i’ve been playing guitar in webfishing lobbies and now i’m making friends with people?????

i love the webfishing community

i’ve decided that instead of going back to a dating app i’m going to set up a big cardboard box propped up with a stick in my university’s park and i’ll put some pink monster energy and estrogen under it and write GAY PEOPLE on it in sharpie and then pull it down on top of anyone who goes for it

there really isn't enough art of women with visible body hair

i went to a show earlier this week

it was fun

i wish there was like, a petfinder website but for catgirls

my apartment might just be the worst sleeping situation i’ve ever had. my mattress is a box spring that should’ve been replaced years ago. it’s fucking concave. i sleep on my front usually but that’s not really possible unless i want to be sleeping bent backwards. also the outside of the mattress is so fucked that with just a fitted sheet over it the springs are still digging into me. i had a box spring mattress last year it was so much better than this (not good but still way better) and the only way this mattress is remotely ok is if i put my thickest blanket on top of the mattress and sleep on that

so it takes me a while to fall asleep

but then there’s a construction site across the street from me that starts work at FIVE THIRTY IN THE FUCKING MORNING and is EXTREMELY LOUD

i’m going to go insane

i keep actually coming back to projects i stopped working on like a year ago what is happening to me

i have a vested interest in as many transfems reading the human domestication guide as possible

i need a cat

i just had a family dinner and people were talking about their dogs for a bunch of it and the whole time i was thinking about HDG and thinking about it like affini talking about their florets and i had to like physically restrain myself from saying anything

i am losing it

i need to start forcefemming people

i should get custom printed card sleeves that say “my pronouns are she/her” on them so people stop misgendering me at magic the gathering events
