Last Saturday, I Took Some Time Off My Games And Work To Assemble A Small Flower Made Up Of Entirely

almost panicked 100% when i couldn't login on my ao3 account, but all's well now thankfully ❀.(*´◡`*)❀

i finally got myself to clean this account so i can use it as intended - an art dump of sorts. i used to have an art dump on instagram (ig), but as much as i'd like to think that i'm self-assured about my skills, the algorithm and the porn bots my art ig have attracted were a few good reasons to delete it all together. plus the nsfw rules over there confuse me (not that i even have the skill or heart to make and post nsfw output, just to be clear ofc) - like what makes it nsfw and what makes it sfw exactly? what if it exhibits nudity, but not a sensual one?? the last thing i'd ever want is for one of my accounts to be shadowbanned. that, and i was pretty inactive there, too, so it wasn't really that hard to say goodbye to it. it had a good run. 😌

this summer, i do plan to get myself back into making art that's not really related to my work (i'm talking about sample artworks as visual aids), and hopefully, this blog will be more active than what i had bac on ig regardless of the notes it may get or not get.

spent an awful lot of time playing animal crossing today that i almost missed my genshin dailies.

anyway, it'll be a while since i'll be able to indulge my time with games since i'm finally hired, and will keep a regular everyday schedule like the one i'm used to (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

i will miss taking my sweet time at home doing whatever i want, but i welcome this new season with openness - an open mind, an open heart, and being open to new learnings and experiences ★彡

(here's to a season of being mindful and present 🪴)

yk part of why i did go back to tumblr was so i could have another platform to talk about the games i obsess with (animal crossing new horizons and genshin impact then) instead of posting about it on my ig stories since not all of my friends are into those kinds of content and as much as i use instagram more than i do facebook, it's not really suited for long posts 😅

so yes, i guess i should really talk more about the current games i play, and it's not a lot.

i'll tag it under farts to keep up with art, fart, heart.

i have many things i'd consider my roman empire and a genshin event with itto visiting the nation of wisdom and meeting the sumeru crew is one of them.

who would win: itto versus the sumeru crew?

reuploaded my timely kaveh fanart because i wasn’t happy with the quality earlier, though this also needs some work post-processing wise (i will say it looks closer to how it looks like irl). anyway, happy birthday kaveh, the best husband ✨

the recent limited event in genshin reminds me a little bit of honkai's aetherium wars and man how i dislike aetherium wars with a passion (⊙︿⊙✿)

(still finishing aetherium wars over at honkai because i started late and i just want to work on my honkai backlogs (⊙︿⊙✿))

one of the things i spent so much time, and really enjoyed working on during this entire penacony arc is the sticker book that comes with the dreamscape pass. i love collecting stickers, journalling, and making collages so of course i spent a good amount of time doing my best to collect the stickers for each page when time permits me, and whenever i don’t feel like finishing the backlogs (the number is a ridiculous amount as a somewhat casual hsr player) just so i can curate each page dutifully.

anyway, some of the pages aren’t complete with all the stickers yet, so have some that i’ve completed and truly like a lot!

i’ve only started the most recent trailblaze mission a few mights ago, but ended up falling asleep in the middle of the mission (T^T ) that said, my goal is to finish it before the week ends so i can once again check on my soc med accounts and not spoil myself about how things will unfold.

there's a sudden urge in me to rewrite my kaveh x sort of self-insert fanfic at this ungodly hour. what is this behaviour.

oh, in spite of how i've been feeling and thinking recently, i am actually grateful for may.

last month, i made my resignation at wok official and this month will be my last month with them. my reasons include both personal and career-related ones, though the personal ones weigh so much more. it feels freeing, though quite emotional having to leave people i've made friends with at work, and my students, too. i don't think i'll ever be "good with goodbyes". ( • ᴖ • ｡ )

i'm also grateful for getting the chance to watch one of my favourite japanese bands perform live at the start of the month! radwimps just left the country a few days ago, and i'm still on a high thinking about the concert, rewatching the short clips i managed to record while immersing myself to their songs, and playing their asia setlist on repeat in spotify. i remember writing it on my original bucket list that i wanted to see one of my favourite japanese bands in a concert so for it to actually happen feels awesome! ＼＼\(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶//／／
