Sketch for another watercolor painting I'm going to attempt. It feels nice working on things for myself again 😊
A pencil drawing of a woman with her eyes closed and arms crossed over her chest. Mushrooms grown on her limbs, and slime mold tendrils spread outwards from her body.

Hey folks. Please don't claim or play this from EGS.

Please also consider dropping Fortnite at least for this season(at minimum.)

The only thing Epic understands is money and attention.

I'm temporarily breaking my streaming hiatus. Garrus & I would love it if you'd joined us for #TheGameAwards tonight.

This is likely to be my last or second to last stream of the year.

Going live at 7pm EST. Hope to see you there! twitch.tv/amarisskye
Photo of Amaris lying on a dark teal couch with a tabby cat resting on their chest. The person has long dark hair, and is wearing a black top with a black cropped sweatshirt over it. The cat is looking directly at the camera. In the background, there are white vertical blinds and part of a white vacuum is visible.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

i placed a hold on this book the day my library acquired a digital copy (yesterday, December 9) & they have already added a second copy to their catalog

just an example of why its important to utilize your public library, even if you prefer ebooks or audiobooks over physical books
The image depicts a digital library hold screen featuring the cover of "Stranger Things Novel 5" titled "One Way or Another" by Caitlin Schneiderhan. The book cover shows two individuals illuminated by a bright flashlight against a blue and green hazy background. The title "Stranger Things" is prominently displayed in bold red text, with "One Way or Another" in light green below. The image has a slightly distressed, vintage look. Below the cover is the library hold information indicating a wait of about 5 weeks at The Free Library of Philadelphia. The information includes queue details and updates about the library acquiring more copies.

my hunky boys. i kept my word & this photo has another cat (but also my sweet prince, Garrus)

for those who haven't seen him on stream, meet Naito, one of the handsomest cats i've ever met

for size comparison, Naito is 17.4 lbs & Garrus is 15.2 lbs (7.89 kg & 6.9 kg respectively)
The image shows two cats sitting on carpeted stairs indoors. The cat in the foreground is a tabby with a mix of brown and black fur and green eyes, sitting upright and looking intently towards the camera. Behind this cat, slightly higher on the stairs, is another cat with a mix of tabby striped and white fur and distinct facial markings. This second cat also has green eyes though the right eye shows corneal scarring and is similarly focused on the camera. The stairs are covered with a gray, textured carpet, and a white wall runs along the left side.

i almost forgot my cat photo for the day
here's some proof of life as well

i may post one of the other cats tomorrow but today it's me with my sweet prince, Garrus
Amaris is lying on a dark teal textured couch with a cat. They are resting their head on the cat and the cat is using their hand as a pillow. Amaris has long brown hair with an undercut and facial piercings, wearing a black sleeveless top. Their expression is calm and reflective as they gaze upwards. The cat is mostly multicolored brown tabby striped with white markings on its face and paws, and appears relaxed with its eyes closed. In the background, various items are visible, including pottery and a helmet painted to look metallic. Warm interior lighting gently illuminates the scene.

my sweet prince, Garrus, using my No Face bag as a pillow

look at that little kitty smile as he sleeps
A tabby cat with dark and light brown stripes is sleeping peacefully on a textured blue surface. The cat's fur is a mix of dark brown, light brown and white, with the white fur prominently on its face and underbelly. The cat is resting its head on a small fabric bag displaying the image of the character No Face from the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away. An enamel pin on the vag to the right of the character reads "Do Not Perceive Me" in pink text against a silver background with eyes peeking through a design of purple mist.

enjoy a festive cat photo for the day

please ignore the mess of cables. cable management isn't my housemates' forte
The image shows a festive indoor scene with a white and brown striped tabby cat sitting next to a Christmas tree. The tree is adorned with white, snow-dusted branches and decorated with black and clear glass ornaments, along with strings of warm white lights. A black sheer ribbon is draped across the branches, and a black decorative snowflake hangs among the ornaments. At the base of the tree is a circular black and white striped tree skirt. The cat is sitting on a gray carpet, gazing towards the camera with a calm expression. Surrounding the tree and cat are several electrical cords.

i've decided while i'm on hiatus from streaming to sort out some health stuff that i'll post a daily cat photo each day

most of them will be of Garrus since he is my fairly constant companion

he is such a sweet & pretty boy
A close-up photo of a tabby cat resting on a dark teal textured couch. The cat has a white muzzle and chest, with a multi shaded brown striped pattern on its head and body. Its eyes are partially closed. The cat's head rests on its crossed white paws. Beside the cat, a person's hand is visible, partially resting on the surface of the couch. The person is wearing a dark long-sleeved garment, and their hand shows a few rings. The lighting is dim, focusing primarily on the cat.

I borrow as many books as I can from my local library & since I need to read the text while listening to audiobooks, I often borrow two copies of a book at a time.

Support your local libraries! They need it now more than ever.

Frosty Tools Sucks.

There are simpler, easier, less destructive things you can use instead.
Nightbot, Moobot, Streamer.Bot & MixItUp are all viable subs.

FROSTY TOOLS SUCKS Because it relies on generative AI, a process that hinges on stolen training data, and uses dangerous amounts of energy & water to power each shoutout. The creator has admitted to using “The Pile” in the FrostyTools training data[1], which includes stolen Youtube Subtitles, Self-Published books and Academic Papers[2], directly stealing from small artists & creators without permission or compensation. Based on the output from other models, each message from Frostytools can use up to an 500ml (18oz) of water & enough energy to fully charge your phone 7 times.[3] Stop using FrostyTools. It is stealing work and polluting the planet to shoutout your raiders. Just use a non-AI chatbot instead.

me & the boy, again

Garrus was keeping me company while i was finishing Paladin's Grace by @tkingfisher.com

he is my comfort
A tabby cat with a mix of brown striped and white fur resting comfortably on the blue fabric of a couch. The cat is lying close to a person who is wearing a black hoodie with a graphic on it & light teal heathered leggings. The couch has a textured surface, and a grey pillow is placed against the couch’s armrest. The lighting is warm, highlighting the smooth fur of the cat and the slight wrinkles in the fabric of the person's clothing.

new announcement. I've done some thinking and I realize that I can't fit streaming into the schedule I have right now. I am taking a course 4 days a week and working 5 days a week and i need my weekends to relax. So, I'm going to make a return stream an event. On December 20th, I'll be off from work for a month and not earning anything. I've saved so I'm not in danger, but it will still be tight. What I intend to stream is not quite a subathon, it's more of a subathon lite. My idea is that I'll going through the dark souls series, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring All Bossses randomized. What makes this not quite a subathon is there is no timer that subs will add time to. The whole thing ends when we kill the last boss. This way the run can't end before it truly finishes. There is only the single goal, lore stream at 500 sub points. I did this because i haven't been the best art honoring these met goals and I don't want to make more promises. This is also because I want this to be a chill series of streams. So, the idea is that I'll start in dark souls (no randomizer for demon's souls, unfortunately) and end in elden ring (once again, i don't know sekiro enough to do this challenge in it) and if anyone one would like to contribute to help me, it would be appreciated, but, no pressure. I anticipate this as my favorite subathon -esque stream, because randomizers are some of my favorite mods to do in these games. The return marathon will start December 20th. I will try to stream daily, like the other subathons. So, hope to see you all there.

things have been really difficult lately. i'm so overwhelmed mentally & emotionally but i love this cat more than i can express.

thank you, Garrus, for being a light in my life when things feel immeasurably bleak
A cat lying down sleeping on the shoulder of a partially visible person in a bed, under dim blue lighting. The cat has a predominantly white face with darker striped markings, partially visible due to the low light. Its ears are perked up, and its eyes are closed. The bedding around the cat includes different layers of fabric, in shades of blue due to the lighting.

One my way to #PAXUnplugged Day 3 as Lune

I'll be in the Expo Hall most of the day but am always looking to play some Magic the Gathering or Board Games.

See y'all there!
The image features Amaris dressed as the character Lune from the game Expedition 33. The outfit is reminiscent of a French artist or mime. They are wearing a bright red beret, oversized red sunglasses, and a red scarf tied around their neck. The clothing includes a black and white striped top. They have dark hair styled with waves. Additionally, they have facial piercings on their nose and lip, and there are delicate black symbols painted down the side of their face. Red lipstick completes the look.
