met a friend on my walk the other day 🍁

my ideal cozy game is a farming sim but it's specifically focused on wool and yarn. Raise sheep, shear them, card wool, spin yarn... and maybe do some dungeon crawling to acquire cool dye ingredients

do all your shading in one color on a multiply layer, then go back and tweak shadows and highlights as needed. keeps you from getting overwhelmed by color decisions when setting up initial values

(also mindlessly shading in one color is relaxing)

this is such a good way to think of bgs, it helps reframe it from a chore to part of the narrative. gonna keep this in mind for my own work!

S and A like to watch reality tv on the weekend and i usually don't pay much attention to it but one of the contestants was wearing a hoodie that had an unmistakable kingdom hearts crown on it and i'm ?????

i wish i could explain to literally anyone how ridiculous this class has gotten. i wish i could make it clear the outrageous nature of the assignments i'm being given. i wish i could talk at all about coding without seeing people's eyes instantly glaze over

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction

never let them tell you that witch means something bad

naminé & riku in halloweentown forms; naminé is a kappa/water creature and riku is a ghost with purple will o wisps
