I've been using an art glove - it's amazing! It has the bonus effect of keeping my pinky warm. Honestly, I almost want to start wearing art gloves outside 😭 I'll either start a new fashion trend or get laughed at (or, the secret third option - nothing)
Issue solved - love it when your isp does maintenance and doesn't tell you about it 😣
After looking into it more, I think our router might be cooked? My phone also has shit upload speed :(
We own our router, so that would be a no go 😣 turning the router off and back on again fixed it though, so I guess it's fine for now?

Finally worked up the courage to stream and then my internet died :(
Rendering it now β€” is a random sketch I did for fun really about to become one of my best pieces? Wild
Perspective, proportions, and anatomy are all wildly off here; mostly because I tried drawing from static references instead of 3D models. It produces less accurate results, but its far more fun for me
I took a break from big projects and just did a sketch of #Frieren taking an (unintentional) nap πŸ’– This marks the first time I've drawn something purely for fun, and it was nice 😊 Expect more of these low-effort sketches in the future~

Also, I do like this one enough that I might actually render it
The truth is, even if those things are likely to happen - even if life only gets worse from here - there's no point in pretending that they've already happened. It won't make it any easier. In fact, if things only get worse, it is even more important to live in the moment now before they do.
Why am I so depressed? I think it's because I'm so jaded by life at this point - I see anything good as something fleeting, even when that's not necessarily the case. In trying to protect myself from collapse, I've been living in an alternate reality where all the bad things I fear already happened
Had a pretty good Halloween - handed out candy to like 30 trick-or-treaters! It was our first time doing this while living on our own after years of being too depressed and/or in crisis mode. We barely had the energy, but we finally actually celebrated Halloween πŸ’–πŸ’€πŸŽΊ

That said, I'm so tired
Not going to do a stream or anything, just gonna pass out candy and... maybe watch a movie?
Happy spooky day everyone πŸ’–πŸ’€πŸŽΊ

Not feeling it, but I'm going to do stuff anyway because that usually works out better than doing nothing
I got to experience being my canonical height (5 inches) in VRChat... After years of lamenting my irl height, it was pretty amazing 😭

I love being tiny
Update: it did not

*tosses it on the Pile of Broken Dreamsβ„’*
Just watched The Amazing Digital Circus a few days ago β€” it was WAY better than I expected! It was very heavy, and I definitely need to give it a re-watch at some point. Also, here's a little doodle of Pomni! I want to do more art, but I'm really struggling with motivation rn :c
Sorry for being depressing again - I just hate my inability to work a traditional job...
I know it's possible, but I just cannot see our situation improving. The (federal) government is abandoning us, costs are rising, and we have no way to increase our income.

Donations wouldn't help, nor are we in immediate danger. It's a sustainability problem.

I guess a remote job would do it...?
Finally home - it was nice seeing family, but god I missed my (found) family in Minnesota so much 😭
I can kinda see that actually - especially since Stream Aru and Social Media Aru have pretty different demeanors (sometimes Stream Aru peeks out on here though). Neither is inauthentic, it's complicated lol
It would have 5 movements, and probably be at least 7 minutes long... Not sure I'm ready for that, but why not try
Just got inspired to write a full instrumental symphony about dreams and expectations, reality, and acceptance. It's an overall optimistic message.

I have no idea if I will actually write it, but I kind of planned it out on vacation. We'll see if that inspiration sticks when I return to my setup
