Do you ever think "I should do a craft with Barbies!" and then next thing you know you're using pi to calculate something called an "inner stringer"? 🥲 Yeah, me neither.

Clio out here proving all the bard allegations true 😈

Some of you spotted that my Bard Barbie looked a little familiar! She's based on my character Clio, originally created for a guest appearance on Cast Party and now the character I use for bard-themed music videos on my channel.
Close-up selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling with short white hair and coral horns, smiling widely to show small fangs, wearing all-over pink bodypaint makeup, a black choker, and a green blouse. Mirror selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling wearing a green blouse with puffed sleeves, a patterned cincher, a black skirt, and a black choker, posing sideways while holding a phone in a room lined with bookshelves. Close-up selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling with short white hair and curved coral horns, wearing all-over pink bodypaint makeup, a black choker, and a deep green blouse, looking slightly downward with a neutral expression. Full-body mirror selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling wearing a green blouse, a patterned cincher, a black skirt with a high slit, and tall boots, posing with one hand on her hip in a room with bookshelves and plants behind her.

Calendar buyers! 📣 It's come to our attention that some dice sets contain cursed d4s.

We believe it's just a small batch, so most sets should be fine, but please check on your d4 and if cursed, email [email protected] with your order number so we can replace it!

Since posting the full-length video of this build, I have gotten dozens more suggestions for names. Next time you need an icebreaker question, ask what people would name a Barbie-themed medieval tavern, apparently everyone has THOUGHTS 😌

75+ hours of crafting and at least two mental breakdowns later... the Barbie Dream Tavern is done!

This was meant to be my last video of 2025 and instead ended up my first video of 2026. 🥲 But I'm still taking January off of YouTube to plan for the year (and recharge!)
Ginny Di smiles behind a detailed medieval-style dollhouse tavern built from a Barbie Dream House, with stone walls, moss, stained-glass windows, and a tower. Text reads “Barbie Dream Tavern,” with an arrow pointing to the transformed structure. Side-by-side comparison of a pink Barbie Dream House labeled “Before” and the same structure transformed into a medieval fantasy tavern labeled “After,” featuring stone textures, moss, and stained-glass details. Screenshot from a video showing Ginny Di speaking in front of the finished Barbie Dream Tavern. On-screen captions read, “Why is there still so much video left?” A collection of viewer comments displayed on a pink patterned background. The comments praise the Barbie Dream Tavern video, joking about LEDs feeling like magic, emotional investment in finishing the tavern build, and the project being chaotic but creatively inspiring.

interesting categorization there, youtube
A screenshot of a recommended "mix" on YouTube. The thumbnail is Ginny Di's music video for a Jingle Bells parody called "A TPK Carol." The mix is titled "Mix - Christian Music"

So happy to see new people meeting THE BEST GIRL through the Mighty Nein show! 😍 She's so dang lovable.

(and yes, that's Laura Bailey! I played her duplicate and consulted on her makeup/costume for a twitch sub promo and an anniversary video back in 2022.)
A side-by-side pair of photos of Ginny in costume as Jester, a blue tiefling. In the first image, she clutches her hands to her chest, a curious expression on her face. In the second, one hand is on her hip and the other is at her mouth as she gives a sly smile. Laura Bailey and Ginny Di standing side by side, both dressed as Jester the blue tiefling. A side-by-side pair of photos of Ginny in costume as a modern version of Jester. She wears tall, pink striped socks and a denim jacket with pins and patches on it, including a big hand-painted patch on the back that reads "Chaos Crew" Ginny is dressed as Jester, doing a classic pin-up pose. The handle of her lollipop is caught on her skirt, revealing legs in black sheer thigh-high stockings.

I've been wanting to do a height comparison chart for my characters for SO long, but didn't have enough full-body photos of everyone with similar lighting and framing... UNTIL NOW! 😈

I photographed all these characters similarly for my 2026 calendar, so here is how I imagine their "true" heights!

Loved this super easy, super actionable tip from Deborah Ann Woll about making combat feel immersive and urgent! It's a small change to how you narrate the battle, but it has a huge impact on how the battle feels.

I've been writing original songs for my bard, Gemini, as we play through Rime of the Frostmaiden! Icewind Dale has given her a cold ❄️ reception, so here's a snippet of one:

🎶 Everyone loves me in Waterdeep
Nobody frowns at my face
Someday I'll go back to Waterdeep
A friendly and welcoming place 🎶
The yellow tiefling poses with a mandolin held against her shoulder. She wears round glasses, a blue-and-white fantasy outfit, and has long green hair with curled horns. She looks directly at the camera against a stone wall backdrop, a slight smile on her face.

She wears layered blue, white, and olive garments and gazes forward with a neutral, thoughtful expression.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news... so I won't 😇

Sorry, I can't help being a tricksy little mischief-maker engaged in hijinks and horseplay. It's the fey nature. Hope to see you at PAX Unplugged!
