Nicholas Rolfe - Jamick Jams

Fox McCloud resting on a sofa with Krystal after a typical day's of work, and Jamie sitting with the two older adult characters and thinking about wondering who he can get a job working with.

"You should be kinder to yourselves", says #Krystal.

In case you're wondering, yes, working from about nine to five or something is what Fox does weekly nowadays. Meanwhile, #Jamie wants to see if he can work with any one of the faces in the thought bubble.

I might be doodling something myself if I feel like it. What time do you start tomorrow?

As @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social takes questions, I share my drawing practice of #Krystal and #Fox in bed, ready for snuggling together - with a mandatory #Jamie who might be sandwiched between the two. Also, happy late Thanksgiving to Liberia (in West Africa), hence the use of the word "thankful".

Jamie realizing that in a realistic world, Thomas the Tank Engine would be more environmentally antagonistic than Diesel, as indicated by a flying duck choking on the emissions from Thomas's funnel. He also wonders if his tradition of burning effigies every fifth of November for fun is also problematic, since large amounts of fire emit tons of smoke into the air, affecting nocturnal wildlife.

Following his spooky Thomas parody, #Jamie realizes that the Tank Engine himself, being a locomotive, has a larger carbon footprint than Diesel. He also wonders if his tradition of burning effigies (e.g. one representing AI slop) every fifth of November is also problematic. 🧐

Seems like it is now Jamie, instead of Krystal, who has turned to Star Wolf, after twenty years. Lol @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social

The real Krystal would appreciate!

Primero Samhain (Sa-un), el festival irlandés de donde derivó Halloween sus raíces, y luego el Día de los Muertos. 🍂💀🕯️

Y el sábado, Jamie decidió de socializar abiertamente, yendo a un bar y reuniéndose con los tres hombres del “Lobo de las Estrellas”.

In the evening, Jamie tells Krystal (dressed up in her witch costume) and Fox (still in his work shirt) a horror/comedy story inspired by Thomas the Tank Engine, where Tommy, Jack and Pawel turn out to be slug-like creatures who have stayed inside their "shells" for far too long and have finally managed to break free.

"It was time for Tommy, Jack and Pawel to leave their shells behind - they will do everything, and I think they deserve their brand new freedoms, don't you?" said #Jamie, as he sat down to give his contribution to the trend of spookiness. 🚂😦

For this International Animation Day, I made this cute little silent clip. #Krystal, teasing Fox as often, acknowledges even if she can be like a crafty witch, she is full of loving magic. Like a mix of the Good Witch and the “Wicked” Witch of Oz. ✨

Jamie ready to tell people that spiders and bats are responsible for allowing produce such as grapes (Knuckles the Echidna's favourite fruit, bananas (shown with Somali-style party rice), coffee (shown with the Ethiopian coffee pot pouring into a cup) and chocolate be produced for human consumption. He also wonders how pumpkins could be used.

You realize that the two of the creatures most commonly associated with the holiday known as Halloween are responsible for helping produce like grapes, rice, bananas, coffee, pumpkins, chocolate and so much more exist, right? 🎃🕷️🦇

Jamie having a free pass to snuggle and show affection to Krystal's beautiful body, since he's an entirely different species.

He's like a little "boyfriend" to her. 💙

I dream of cartoons similar to "explained by ducks" videos but with

Jamie being like the main duck, other Heiho being like the other ducks and Krystal having the role of the wise frog. Maybe the pigeons could be Chao. Now about the other characters... Maybe the squirrels could be wisps?

Plus this cute animation of #Jamie imagining about a #Krystal -coloured diya and the word “hope” in bed. We could all really do with some in these times.

I hope people have had a great #Diwali this year. #deepavali #दिवाली #दीपावली 🪔

@therealkrystlfox.bsky.social

I did two more cute drawings for the holidays. 🪔
#diwali #दिवाली #deepavali #दीपावली #krystal #jamie

I made a silent animation to fit the scene.

“Today is #Deepavali, I have three little coins and I want to go to a river, but… I don’t like today’s weather.”

#दीपावली #krystal #jamie @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social

Krystal does yoga around artificial candles (in place of real candles for safety) while Jamie looks at three copper coins which he plans on using for three respective wishes, one for an announcement for the Q&A promoting Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, one for a new job opportunity and one for an unknown wish.

Happy #Deepavali to those who observe it.
शुभ #दीपावली। 🪔

You're back on BlueSky? Congrats and welcome back!

Since we're talking about Chao and spooks, I'd like to share this image of #Jamie hypothesizing adult #Chao eating large chilli dogs while watching horror parodies of evil talking trains and Wave Chao. Also, there's Jet's "funny" voice. #Krystal can read these ideas. @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social

At night, Krystal tells Jamie that if he wants to come up with an excellent and very intriguing question to ask anyone in the next Sonic Q&A (which might feature the Babylon Rogues because of their prominent role in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds(TM), which this Q&A will most likely promote), then he can't just use the ancient Indian custom of throwing copper coins into rivers (related to the Hindu deity Lakshmi, prominent in Deepavali/Diwali, which starts on Monday the 20th of October in 2025), he also has to work on that wish coming true himself. Jamie replies to this by saying "Yes, Krystal" in Hindi, which Krystal doesn't really speak, but, as a telepath, she still knows he's mentally giving this affirming answer.

According to #Krystal, #Jamie can't just rely on throwing copper coins into rivers to make his wishes come true, he has to remember it's on him to fulfil them, i.e. when it comes to coming up with the best questions of his own for any Sonic Takeover event coming soon.
@therealkrystlfox.bsky.social

“What is the truth?”

“Who has the right answers to big questions?”

“Who can I trust?”

“Do I always have to pick a side?”

“Are my emotions and attitudes choices?”

“Am I making the right decisions?”

“How do I decide if my behaviours are always acceptable?”

I thought I’d add this, too.

We are safe together here.

Nous sommes en sécurité ensemble ici.

Estamos a salvo juntos aqui.

Krystal kneeling down to tell Jamie that anyone's idea of him being "not enough" (e.g. not being productive/motivated/strong enough) or "too much" (e.g. being too eager for attention and validation, endless people-pleasing etc.), as well as the validation of looking back on the past and focusing on the negatives of it, overthinking (e.g. people's unpredictability and the paranoia of seeing unwanted content - AI slop, both online and offline, for example) and self-doubt is a lie (indicated by the Pinocchio-like demon in the bottom corner), and that even though life is a rocky road that needs to be approached with balance, it is a valid observation that Jamie is bright and definitely capable of being mentally/emotionally stronger, as well as the fact that he IS enough and that the present moment (a.k.a. the "NOW") should be viewed in through a brighter perspective.

I thought this would be a great way to mark #World_Mental_Health_Day - this depiction of #Krystal telling #Jamie that some thoughts... Are just thoughts; that thoughts don't automatically mean reality.

I'm pretty sure @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social understands what I mean. #art #arte #فن #艺术 🌌💙

I agree with #Jamie (again). If obviously Sonic himself and the Babylon Rogues, Pac-Man, Steve and even SpongeBob and Patrick can be in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, why not #Krystal, too? Even as a mod voiced by @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social ?

Imagine…

🏞️🏎️💙🦖🦕

"When is that Sonic Q&A event?" Jamie asks himself while lying on the sofa with a small pot of coffee beans he's eating with a spoon (a reference to Shadow the Hedgehog) and thinking about when he'll have a chance to come up with an interesting question for Sonic, Jet and/or Wave (or any character involved) during the Takeover event promoting CrossWorlds.

"When is that Sonic Q&A event?"

It's going to happen soon... But nobody knows when exactly - not at the time of posting this. But I promise it will happen... And at least ONE of the Babylon Rogues will appear.

Also, Jamie's eating coffee beans to feel like Shadow.

#ジェイミー #ソニック #イラスト #クロスワールド

"Cher public, il faut que je vous annonce que..."

#dessin #peinture #JamieGuy

Jamie also explained an idea about writing the Saurian language in a form of the Arabic script, not just Latin. Krystal and Fox got the privilege to learn about this new way.

So,
“Jamie aj weet” (Jamie is good)
can also be written as
“جيمِي أَج ويت"

And to conclude #Jamie 's and #Krystal 's birthday week in Sauria, I give you drawings inspired by traditional Chinese and Indian art. Two of them introduce two less known tribes resembling cave lions and woolly rhinos.

And I agree with that wish.

I had to reupload the image (I had to correct Krystal's age in Roman numerals to XLII) because BlueSky won't let me edit my own post. @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social

Under the night sky of Sauria, with King Tricky of the Earthwalkers and Queen Kyte of the Cloudrunners surrounding Fox McCloud, Krystal and and a tearful Jamie, as well as the outlines of George, Jamie and George's mum and dad, four members of their extended family, and many Cornerians (Yaru-de-Pon, Fay, Miyu, Bill Grey, Peppy Hare and his daughter Lucy, Katherine Monroe, Fara Phoenix, Falco Lombardi, Amanda, Slippy, Mr Pepper, Caroso, Pigma, Wolf O'Donnell, Andrew Ross, Oikonny Jr and Ganger) and Saurians (including a thorntail, a snowhorn, a lightfoot, a hightop, a sharpclaw and Drakor), as well as a Chao, a typical pigeon that Jamie enjoys feeding and Sabre, amongst thirty stars in the sky. Around the age number of 42 (Krystal), we see the same number written in Chinese/Hanja/Kanji, Devanagari, Perso-Arabic, Eastern Arabic, Ge'ez, Bamum, Adlam, N'Ko, Roman and Mayan numerals, and around the age number of 30 (Jamie), we see the same number written in the same scripts, as well as in Sango, Duala, Kanuri, Ibibio, Igbo, Yoruba, Igala, Fon, Ewe, Akan, Susu, Soninke, Mende (the numeral for 5 repeated six times), Krio, Wolof, Arabic, Portuguese, French and English.

#Jamie Guy is now 30 (as of Monday), and #Krystal is now 42 (as of Tuesday)... And I imagine that their whole universe has witnessed these comings of age, especially Jamie, who's just stepped into a whole new decade. 🌟✨🌌

Jamie blushing at Krystal's playful smirk back at him after the former put three mini-birthday cakes of his making over her spine, while imagining doing the same to a Saurian lioness (but with honey-glazed almonds). He wrote the number 5 on each cake with chocolate icing, because he's using six in total (as 5*6 = 30, his next age).

Another thing... One side of Jamie's creativity, which Krystal, needless to say, finds amusing.

Now if he had the courage to do the same to a Saurian big cat with their consent...
