I'm back, by unpopular demand!! /joke

Anyways, after being hospitalized, literally ever since then, I have been trying to get my shit together and bounce back. It... is not going the greatest, but today marked a day of progress, for good reason. Yesterday, my husband and I sat down and we decided to work on an activity together: Carving out our daily routines and splitting the chores evenly. It was productive, and fun! (We used Crayola markers) And I got a lot done.

I want to write my routine down here to share it, just in case anyone else like me (Autistic/ADHD out the wazoo) wants a template or ideas to bounce off of.

    MORNING: 9:00AM to 12:00PM
  1. Wake up between 9:00AM and 10:00AM
  2. Make Bed
  3. Check and clean bedroom - Pick up things off the floor, throw out any trash.
  4. Eat Breakfast - When all else fails, use the electric kettle for some cup ramen.
  5. Brush Teeth
  6. Feed Rei and clean his litter box
  7. Take a Shower - Includes drying/styling my hair and basic skincare.
    AFTERNOON: 12:00PM to 6:00PM
  1. Eat Lunch - As needed. I get hungry at weird times.
  2. Work on Commissions - Minimum 1-2 WIP sketches or 1 completed piece.
  3. Work on personal/Patreon art - Minimum 1 WIP sketch with timelapse.
  4. Film Vlog - Optional, assuming there is time and energy!
  5. Work on Website - Also optional. Sometimes I just browse for inspo. That counts.
  6. Check Finances - Because it never hurts to keep an eye on your bank account.
    EVENING / NIGHT: 6:00PM to 12:00AM
  1. Clean Desk - Remove any trash or items that shouldn't be there.
  2. Play with Rei - Kitty deserves love and attention, too!
  3. Play games with friends
  4. Spend time with Varrick - Varrick is my husband, and I value our cuddle time. ♥
  5. Go to bed at 12:00AM (2:00AM latest)

I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS!!! (positive)

WARNING: DELTARUNE CHAPTER 3 & 4 SPOILERS I not only knew from frame 1 that Rouxls was a canon bisexual disaster, BUT POLYAMOROUS TOO?? OH MY GOD? Sheesh, thank you, Toby Fox. Sorry that I'm obsessed with this man you made, but I love him. I ABSOLUTELY WON PRIDE MONTH.

Hey, so the live-action Lilo and Stitch is atrocious. Removes the queer-coding of an important character, completely removes the core part of the story, fucks up ALL its characters - the list goes on. I am especially mad with how Jumba and Pleakley were handled, considering they are my childhood favorites of all time.

I am stealing them and putting them into Moon Palace lore. I don't care, full cringe on main. I was already ready. Have this doodle from 2023 that never left my folders.

Expect more of them. I'm making it my main mission to portray these two better than any company executive could.

(Like, I can't wrap my head around it. Did they think that fans since 2002 would NOT come for Disney's neck over this???)

The last two months have kind of sucked for me, here's why (in order):

  1. Got sick after Easter. It messed up my sleep schedule - it felt impossible to fix.
  2. I battled that backwards sleep schedule for over a month.
  3. I got sick AGAIN, so bad that I had to go to the hospital.
  4. Hospital was NOT a fun experience and I had to change my diet for my health.
  5. Ironically, this fixed my sleep schedule. I am now having the opposite problem: I am running on Nursing Home Hours™ and now am going to bed and waking up TOO early for my liking. (WHY AM I FALLING ASLEEP AROUND 8PM BE SO FOR REAL)
  6. I CAN'T DRINK PINK LEMONADE ANYMORE??????? I have GERD. It's so acidic it literally hurts to drink.

Add this with I'm behind on work, and you have a mess! I AM recovering, but oh my god. A bitch needs a break. That's why I haven't been myself. My social battery has also been nonexistent.

... I'll be okay though. I promise lmao

Some pals gave me advice to avoid burnout and one major thing that's gonna stick with me is going into "crayon mode," where I just draw and do not care about polish or accuracy. So I doodled Mavis with his sword! (Masc form)

"crayon mode" is exactly why I made this page, to be honest; things I put here won't be put in my main gallery, but I do want to share them. this is the perfect lil page for that.

I designed Pern on a whim and wanted to draw character interactions, as a way to push myself (and draw characters interacting again) and to also flesh out characters a bit. I like to explore dynamics, what they would say or do, etc...

...unfortunately Pern is a bit of a dick at first, lmao.

I discovered that I can code on Neocities on my iPad, so even during work hours, I can chip away at the work I want to get done here. Yay! That's wonderful news to me, but not the point of this blog post. One: I just really like the idea of making my own blogs, and being able to talk in my own space unfiltered. Two: I like reading my own posts from the past to see how far I've come.

Back to the point: I realized that I haven't really set any goals for this year. Since we're still in January (even if it is almost the end of the month), I figured I would at least get a small list of personal goals or wants done and see how many get done by the end of the year. 2022 through 2024 were some of my worst years ever, but I'm thankful that 2025 feels like a new chapter. Not necessarily an epilogue, but definitely the part in my story where I can breathe, for once, and not have to worry about any oncoming battles. I still face hurdles and challenges, but they're nowhere near as difficult as they used to be. For that, I'm grateful. I know the world around me isn't exactly calm, and the political climate is disastrous... but I'm going to make it through, regardless. I know I will.

That being said, my creative goals for 2025:

read more...
  • Draw at least 1 comic page - I need to improve this skill, and learn how to place characters in environments. I also want to be able to visually tell stories or make short comic strips. I see other artists do it, and I'm inspired. I want to get there, or find the time to hone that ability.
  • Learn to draw backgrounds - I have no idea where to start with this one, but I have to try. I see some other artists make FANTASTIC backgrounds, and they make it look so easy... even though I know it's not. I want to be able to draw the worlds in my head, so this is absolutely something I need to sit down and study from time to time. I feel like buildings will be the toughest to do, but no way to find out other than trying.
  • Improve my singing skills and host a karaoke stream / party - I really, really want to be good at singing. I don't know why. I know I'm around the mezzo-soprano range. The reason I want to accomplish this is to prove to myself that I can overcome my stage fright. When it comes to singing, I have TERRIBLE stage fright and get the shakes... even if I'm behind a screen and not performing on a real stage. It's weird, because streaming comes so naturally to me otherwise.
  • Work on my ToyHouse account and OC webpages - While I don't plan on publishing my stories professionally, I do enjoy sharing them. I do want to work on having pages for my OCs and their stories, their worlds, etc. and ToyHouse has been a great place to start. I do plan on eventually bringing that information to NeoCities as well, but I'll admit, I've enjoyed ToyHouse's features. (One of my friends basically said they're "playing barbies" with their OCs, and I cannot agree more with that... I am going to do WAY more of that this year!)
  • Write, and actually share, my written works - I don't know why, but I have always been terrified to share my writing, especially my fanfiction... Usually because it's a very niche OC/Canon comfort ship of mine, and that's more for myself than anyone else. Then again, the only way I am going to find out if other people share my sentiments or interests is by being vulnerable. Being vulnerable is just scary. My writing is very precious to me and I love it a lot... So this is a fear I want to conquer, for sure.
  • Draw more queer art - As a sapphic bisexual, I feel like this is mandatory. My love for women is radical and I want to show more healthy, happy relationships of WLW. My comfort ship is straight-passing so I want to draw more MLM and WLW (and NBLM/W) art in general!

I think that's all I can think of right now, with a solid list of things to work on for 2025. I may have to make a separate "checklist" webpage to monitor my progress and see how far I go this year. 2025 is the year of learning for me, in so many ways- not just with my creative endeavors. I'm excited and hopeful, and I usually don't get to say that!

For now, though, my job under capitalism calls.
