Couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting subscription emails from AO3, figured the authors I follow were going through a dry spell- nope, my email decided to mark every AO3 email in the past month as spam 😭😭 rude!! I have so much to catch up on now!!

I wanna make it to Sumeru TTwTT I like Inazuma’s vibe well enough but Sumeru is *so* pretty and foresty and the music is so pretty and the characters are so silly waaaaa

Swem 🌸 @lovesicklychee.bsky.social · 1d

Genshin is such a distracting game— like it distracts me from its own story 😭 I’ve played on and off since it first released and I haven’t even made it through Inazuma yet because it’s like events! Spiral Abyss! Teapot! Genius Invocation! Side quests! Grinding and grinding and grinding and—

Ooo I feel like both can be true honestly! Giving a character you like a fault can also make you more forgiving of said fault, so maybe over time it’s easier to forgive yourself for it too 😭💗

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

Does anyone else insert small things you don’t like about yourself into your ocs so that they feel more… idk acceptable? Manageable? 😭 like “I hate when *I* do this, but when Blorbo does it then it’s endearing so maybe it’s not so bad”

Redrew my oc Macaroon because I wanted to finally make her chubby like I've been intending to for months, and as an added bonus I can compare my style between now and last year when I drew her old art :'3 I also made some tweaks to her design ehehe

#OCsky #SwemOCs

A full-body concept art of a woman. She has fluffy black hair that falls at the bottom of her back, messy bangs, yellow eyes and a coconut eclair-shaped cat tail. She’s wearing an Orange winter hat with cat ears and a brown button eye, brown bulky fingerless gloves, a cream-colored slip dress, brown boots with white pompoms, dark brown thigh highs and a brown messenger bag. She has a brown ribbon around her neck with an oversized bell.

One of my meds got the dosage upped and I’m not sure if I’ve noticed an improvement in mood but they definitely make me the sleepiest little guy after I take them 😭 but I have been waking up earlier consistently so maybe they’re onto something 🤔

Swem 🌸 @lovesicklychee.bsky.social · 6d

Once again thinking about visual novel hours… I’m wondering if I want to try making a quick kinetic novel first for the sake of learning the medium properly 🤔 I tend to go into most projects with huge goals and never finish them .w.;;

Swem 🌸 @lovesicklychee.bsky.social · 6d

That's true 🤔 I may just stick with my "main" characters for now and branch out later as I think of names!

Swem 🌸 @lovesicklychee.bsky.social · 7d

It doesn't help that I usually have decision paralysis with names .w.;; mix that with having to give a second name to a character who's been established for a year, this will be hard ✨ And married couples!! who will take whose surnames!!! Who will be hyphenated!! Graaaaah 😩

Swem 🌸 @lovesicklychee.bsky.social · 7d

Realizing I very rarely give my OCs surnames--
On the one hand I should give them surnames
but on the other hand uggghhhhh 😩 Like I have around 90 OCs in the same universe atm and I'm pretty sure I could count the characters with surnames on two hands!! So it would take so long 😭

Seeley and Bolin are my thief boyos :'3
Seeley is a treasure hunter! His definition of "hunting" usually involves stealing artifacts from other treasure hunters though >w>;; delivering the things he steals to his love interest's museum!
Bolin fills the classic gentleman thief trope uwu)/

Once again trying out a new chibi style, once again Echo is my test subject :'3 I drew him in a skirt one (1) time and it's lived rent-free in my mind ever since teehee

#OC #OCsky #SwemOCs #SwemArt

A stylized chibi drawing of my character, Echo, over a white background. Behind him is a blue to purple gradient with his name written in white letters. He's smiling brightly and giving a peace sign with his hand, his other resting on his knee.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore
