You are SO strong.
I believe in you, Cromet.

A Final Fantasy IX fan art I drew depicting Vivi hugging a little Chocobo and « Happy 25th Anniversary » written on top.

Yesterday marked 25 years since #FinalFantasyIX was released in Europe. I’ve been itching to draw #Vivi lately and decided to throw in a little #Chocobo while I was at it.

Done on @procreate.com

Boy's Night

The boys had a movie night and fell asleep around the 4th rewatch of The Princess Bride

It is only 5pm but they're vampires so it's quite late for them (except Lincoln, of course, but no one can figure out his sleep schedule)

A small standing microphone on the corner of a desk, of which a green light come out of. We can see the hand of the device's owner on the side in a thumbs up motion.

Got out today find some external storage space for my laptop.
Didn't find any BUT(T)...

Got this lil' thing instead.

Reminder: under no circumstance should you give discord your ID.

It is gonna -suck- trying to set up alternatives, and this whole fiasco is going to damage communities, but you CANNOT give them your info

Random rant but...

I'm starting to HATE the fact that my native language (french. Ew, I know) doesn't have neutral pronouns from the get go.

In english: smooth. No problem.
In my fucked up language which genders EVERYTHING: a struggle.

Like... are there rules people have made to help with that ?

I've been a little quiet here because of my mountain of comms and upcoming deadlines, but I have good news!!! It's finally happening!!

27 is starting to seem like a beautiful number, all of a sudden.

... Why am I seeing balloons floating around ?

A promotional poster that reads "A Pretty Good Icebreaker Fundraiser. February 16th at 1pm Eastern Standard Time.

I kinda miss my competitive fighting games days...

But then my tummy reminds me I've been in an endless set against it for years now.

... And I don't have the game count.

Don't forget to tell your significant other that you love 'em.
Regardless of the day.

No, I didn't sleep through the entirety of Valentine's day, you did.

Now go kiss your Valentine (after getting their consent ofc) while I head back to bed.

PART 6 - GASLIGHTING, IN GAME & IRL - 🐲

Back with another part of "Items Only" !
We've cured the kid, but while we were away, Jasper (Heliodorian and pretentious celebrity) was gaslighting the people of the port that this challenge sucks and tries to show why.

PART 5 - DEATH, OR THINKING TOO FAR AHEAD - 🐲

After some time used for IRL stuff, I'm back for another part of "DQ11 Items Only" !

And this one will be about the dungeon we have to do before the next boss.

But not before checking out Tickinton real quick. ⬇️

#DragonQuest #DQ11 #ChallengeRun

We finally get our beloved blue-haired thief back, and escaped the port with Sylvando's fancy boat.
(With the help of the town's people after they realized Jasper was just talking bollocks.)

We're now free to roam the inner sea !

But that'll be for next time, as it is the end of Part 6 !

Erik being the fastest party member means he's most often the one doing the healing when there's a need.

Thankfully, everyone was healthy enough to withstand at least one hit before needing to heal, and eventually...

Jasper the gaslighting weeb fall to our level 1 fireball spam.
⬇️

If we're not mashing our damage option and we heal accordingly, we should be fine.

This is also the fight where everyone was stocked up on Strong Medicine, the healing upgrade of Medicinal Herbs.

I was a bit concerned about this fight, as Erik is not available.

(Also... Nice.)
⬇️

So, funny thing is... compared to the Corallossus duo fight, Jasper somehow deals more single-target damage than them (dude is stronk).

And his Zam spell has an unusually high Crit Chance.
However, that is it. Fizzle doesn't matter and and he cannot deal multi-target damage.

⬇️

We get however the "Cutscence Treatment", as more fanboys arrive, overwhelm us and STEAL our fast boy Erik.

So now it's a rescue mission (and we get to beat Jasper up).

SO ! Jasper:
- Wields 2 swords,
- Casts Zam (damaging Dark spell),
- Casts Fizzle (party silence),
- Plays Sekiro (parries).

⬇️

I discovered during this fight that the soldiers could be lucky enough to get Critical Hits... and that they had a Pep Power of their own.

Turns out there's always something to learn about your favorite video games.

Anyway, despite these discoveries, we get rid of the fanboys on the 1st try.
⬇️

So naturally, we say "no U suck" and Jasper sends his fanboy club out of anger.

The soldiers are not really a mandatory fight, as we can lose it and the story will progress the same way.
But... shutting Jasper's gob is ALWAYS a good reason to fight.

However, the soldiers surprised me a few times.⬇️

Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

This is Flambo. He's using his talking dog buttons to accuse his small foster brother of being a cat. Nothing can convince him otherwise. 13/10 for both (IG: flambothedog)

Just had a quick 2 hours session of the Dragon Quest III Remake.

So far, I like it.
I like it a lot, in fact. :)

Daisies, 14 by 18, fluid acrylics on vellum illustration board. Finished this one today, colors scanned well. A little different subject matter and a more muted color palette.
