✨️New Pinned Post✨️

So, I like to draw and write, and I'm currently making a GameBoy game with GBStudio and PixelStudio

I'm also working on some stuff with my lil bro in GameMaker Studio 2 (GMS2), but nothing I wanna show just yet

I def want to follow more people who enjoy pixelart and indie games😁
Ugh, I wanna go to the Gundam Base in Chicago soooooooo bad 😭

The train here has a direct route there and I can get tickets, but I don't want to go while I'm broke 😢

I gotta wait and try to save a lil $ first, but I keep seeing vids of everyone else there and I'm so jelly 😫 I don't want to wait!!

Journaling really does come in so clutch. Seriously, it's one of the most helpful things for change and accountability

Patterns become blindingly clear when written out 🌞🤯

🎉My Goals for this year (2026)🎉

✨️Make each day count
✨️Journal Daily
✨️Make Videos

Not quite as detailed or extensive as last year, but learning from 2025 makes me believe these goals will be the most helpful

Let's do this 💪😁

Why am I so exhausted that even a recap sounds daunting; I usually love doing them

I'll def post before the year ends tho, wrapping everything up and sharing my goals for 2026 🎉

The urge to go back to study more 3D and do lowpoly/ retro / HD2D stuff with pixel art textures...

Anyone with good blender references / courses / channels / tutorials?
I have used 3D a lot for rendering and architecture in the past, but never got into sculpting or animation so...

I wanted to make something for Xmas, but I'm really tired so it's super short 😅

Just a tiny animation of Spikeye and Oakid

Nothing says Holidays like an entire squad of colorful rodents holding a secret gathering in a bone-filled crypt.
The Rat King is thoroughly pleased. Scheming. Unbothered. Flourishing.
The Nutcracker is nowhere to be found.
(Rat King sprite request made today on twitch stream!)

Some small additions really improve how it looks (a lil bounce at the end of movements especially)

I walked to my grandma's today (just down the road), and I feel like I'm gonna keel over because of the heat. I went from fine to literally dripping with sweat 🥵

Working on animation practice today; just fiddling mostly to see what sticks

The first three are honestly so colossal; the leap in qol just from these is substantial

I specifically want to talk about ruminating rn tho! Ruminating was paralysing me and sapping my time/energy

Apparently this can also be an OCD thing (something to consider if it affects you), and it's brutal
2/2

Accomplishments
✨️Stopped ruminating ✨️Significantly improved endometriosis symptoms with diet and PT
✨️Reached out and will receive help fixing the dilapidated home we were left with
✨️ Improved my ability to read Spanish and French
✨️Animated & drew more
✨️Reduced screen time
✨️Exercised more
December 23, 2025 at 5:24 PM
I did not go strong 😭

I did accomplish quite a bit this year tho, I think it's still been a wildly productive year in other ways

Goals for this year
✨️Learn a new language
✨️Publish my GameBoy game
✨️Practice conscious breathing, positive affirmations, and other general self-care
✨️Draw more

1/2
This month has not been productive, but it doesn't feel like I hit a wall either. Things have just been slow and I think I needed the rest

Going to go strong in the final month!!
Skipped a few months 😅
They were a hellish few months tho

*BUT* I made amazing progress on my self-care goal

Improved diet, sleep schedule, hobbies, more time outside, stopped ruminating, improved boundaries further, excerising/stretching more, etc...

Going to try to use this month to refocus 💪😤
