Bro, what a mess. Keeping this picture for next time I try to tell myself I don't get stuff done coz I'm "lazy". For all of this, what I do is looking pretty good.

This happened to me except (cw: gross medical stuff)
it was a severed ureta and I ended up with a hole in my side that i had to drain several times a day and they made me measure and write down how much fluid came out and it was SO MUCH FLUID I hated it. Then it got infected several times.

Haha gottem. Let's put this stupidly expensive black paper formerly-employed me bought for some reason to use.

Omg I've been looking for this! Cleaning up is such a good hobby seriously.

I've been making these lists lately and I'm finding it's working really well, especially if you're a discovery writer (i.e. an idiot) and can look at this list and quite quickly figure out which of your existing characters suit these traits based on their personalities.

I wrote this my own self the other day. Something is wrong with my brain. Like more than the usual.

I don't think I've ever made a hand written typo before...

Those mean very fucking different things you utterly, frustratingly intrusive and useless feature.

How do I turn this shit off?

Love and Deepspace, no! Bad fish! 😡

Anyway my psychologist is suggesting I read this book

Just once I'd like to open up a sink pipe and find something normal inside...

Look. It's not...worse...

Don't ask me if I'd put this much effort in on paper that I bought from Aldi next time though 🤦
Takes alcohol markers like shit.

I only planned to practice some little tiny things out of my "how to draw cute stuff" book but for some reason I ended up drawing Midoriya instead. The hardest part was the reference pic had the outside of the hair cut off so I had to guess.

Actually the hardest part was his face shape 😭

Hahahah so this post on Xiaohongshu has gone viral. Describing this guy and saying "What would I need to bring to the table for him to marry into my family?", waited for all the mens' opinions to build up and then revealed that the post was about herself and thanked them all for the compliments 😂
January 9, 2026 at 6:53 AM
Hahahah I already wrote this character. She's also a pickpocket.

In case anyone thought I was joking about the cost of "Fashions in Hair - the first 5000 years"

This book is an incredibly valuable reference and pretty difficult to get your hands on.

It contains hundreds of sketches of (predominantly western) historical hair styles, with a bibliography.
