VOD: testing the patreon stream feature again heh

SO testing this out was interesting!! I'll likely stick to YouTube for my exclusive Patreon streams in the future, but it's good to know that this option is available :') If only Twitch did unlisted streams...the bitrate on that site is SOOO much better

what if I just started doing Infinity Nikki streams?? and maybe drew some of the outfits lmao, I feel like I need to keep art tied to my stuff somehow but maybe the yapping and the gaming would suffice :') I miss the simplicity of stream...

pls help me design this washi tape!!

hi y'all!! so I'm making a washi tape for The Washi's Station's summer collection (my second ever washi tape!!) and the theme was traditional art. I had a lot of grand ideas that I unfortunately did not have the time nor bandwidth to bring to fruition, BUT I decided to make a pattern out of a sweet lil granny square and some cut out stars. :')

I'm now having trouble deciding on the style of said star as well as the spacing between elem...

giant march photo diaries 🌸🌙💫 the world spins on

Hey y'all -- sorry I'm a little late with this giant photo diaries. Tech started last week, and I always forget how much tech rehearsal wipes me out. I decided to not do my typical "add text like Instagram stories" format, just cause there were so many photos I wanted to share, so I thought I'd just type out more of an old-school style blog post about the past month and what I've been doing.

Once Ares and I deposited Soph in the car of the vet that helped her pass on the final d...

hello hello~ a lil update video

hi y'all <3 here is the aforementioned update video!! I'm working on that big big blog post (there's like 100 photos I wanna share lol) but I hope this yappy lil video can clue you in on to how I'm feeling and what I'm up to :') I've missed talking to you all and I'm grateful that you're still here ;-;

here are the links and things I mentioned:

hello I’m alive!!!

hello my dears!!! I’m alive and okay — I’m so sorry I’ve been so radio silent on here these last few weeks. It’s almost a month since Soph’s passing, and I’m still crying about her at random and unexpected times, but every day is a tiny bit easier.

Rehearsals have begun for my play and they’re a hoot !! I’ve got lots and lots of photos from the last month that I’m going to compile into a huge photo diaries for you this weekend. I’ve attached a few photos to this p...

goodnight miss sophie girl 🌗

On Friday afternoon, February 28 2025, around 3:30pm, Sophie traveled back to the moon and the stars where she belongs. She fell asleep with her head in my hand, comfy and cozy on her favorite ottoman, lying on the first crochet blanket I ever made, just for her, with me and Ares giving her little pets and telling her how much we loved her the whole while. There was crystal clear birdsong outside the window at the moment she passed, like the sky was welcoming her hom...

no stream today, i'm still keeping an eye on sophie

she’s at home, she’s doing alright !! she’s eating and everything, but I’m still keeping a close eye on her breathing, as that’s the biggest thing I need to monitor. I’m gonna be spending the day on my living room floor working on my lil mushrooms for Gallery Nucleus :-)

sophie update!!!

so I’m at the emergency vet again today watching Sophie as she curls up in her oxygen chamber. she was here overnight and might be here another night, depending on how her breathing improves. it turns out that she has heart failure, meaning that my time with her is limited now, but hopefully with proper medication and a nice calm home, i’ll get a good bit more quality time with her 🥹 this is not wholly unexpected as this is a not wholly uncommon side effect of hyperthy...

no podcast today — soph’s in the ICU

hey yall, there’s gonna be no podcast today. i took soph in to the vet to check out a lil cough she had and they told me to get her to emergency care ASAP as she had some fluid in her lungs; they’re gonna do some diagnostics to see what’s up, but the extra oxygen she’s got right now is keeping her stable. my perfect angel ;-; it could be pneumonia or asthma or a couple other things so i’m just waiting on all the tests and stuff. doc doesn’t seem too panicked ! which i’m grateful...

which icon style do you prefer?

 hey y'all! I'm working on a new set of desktop icons for all my paid patrons, and was wondering which style you like better -- do you like a really clean/graphic icon look, or do you prefer something a lil more organic/sketchy looking?

104. a better world is possible

hey y'all! I hope you enjoy this episode~ it's a lot of rambling about current stuff going on in my day to day (health insurance annoyances, Ares finally got his appendix out, some dnd stuff, drawing bodies is hard), and it's capped off by my thoughts re: the overwhelming desire to doomscroll/doompost, and the Big Despair that always threatens to consume us all. very casual stuff this episode ;-)

I fear it gets a bit preach-y/...
