A tweet from December 2014 edited to look like a post from Nobara Kugisaki from Jujutsu Kaisen. The tweet reads "OMG I am LOVING this basic [small yuuji] bath bomb from Lush" wtih several emojis at the end of it. There are 3 images attached, edited with a fuwakororin Yuji Itadori plush in place of the "bathbomb" and Sukuna's fingers in the tub full of water.

Allin, beloved!! Originally designed when I was in high school, then revived & redesigned in 2023 (for A Tome in the Attic) (and sometimes dnd campaigns)

🖍️ last 2 arts are from darrendoodles on IG and AndieStardust (no public socials >.<)
A screenshot from A Tome in the Attic. Allin is smiling while the player character sighs, "What a convenient answer..." An illustration of Allin eating a watermelon and Jam (a purple cat with piercings) playing a video game. The both of them are wearing keffiyeh An illustration of Allin drawn by Darren (DarrenDoodles on Instagram!). They are bleeding from the nose and are a little scratched up, but it doesn't phase them. A chibi illustration of Allin leaning against a tome that is about the same size as them! Drawn by AndieStardust

I made a little extra $ from my super part-time gig this week so we went to a lovely local Belgian-style waffle shop 💕
Jenni wasn't super hungry (and aware we don't have a lot of funds rn) so we shared it!

Also the shop was decorated with waffles it was really cute 🧇
A holiday wreath made with (fake) liege waffles! Photo of a Brussels waffle topped with bruleed bananas, strawberries, whipped cream, and dark chocolate drizzle. Next to it is a tea latte topped with raw sugar!

Today's workout: carrying minimum of 23 8-foot tables (with help) up the stairs 😤 (my legs and lower back are SO sore)
A photo of an event hall in Lansing, Michigan. There are several rows of 8-foot tables with 8 chairs at each table. Photo of a "feral rage" meme of a nondescript figure on all fours with red eyes and sharp teeth. They are gnawing on a branded styrofoam light stick (poorly edited on top of the original meme) and shaking it around like a dog. There are keysmashes that really sell the "wild-animal" energy

Cute illustration of a siamese cat sitting on a stack of waffles, decorated with a pad of butter on the cat's head and shiny blueberries. Text around the cat reads "ko-fi.com/jamkats" and "jamkats sticker club '25" Commissioned coloured fanart sketch of Sylus from Love and Deep Space. The character is leaning against the player character, holding her hand, and whispering "Poor Thing". I tried to frame it as if it were from a traditional, 2D CG cut-scene on a desktop. Illustrated graphic to promote Play for Peace: Games for Palestine 2025 Charity Bundle, hosted by @SEAgamesforgood Features Allin, a character from A Tome in the Attic, wearing a keffiyeh and eating a watermelon sitting next to Jam, a pale-purple, bipedal cat with piercings, using a controller to play a game on a TV partially obscuring the foreground. My short visual novel, A Tome in the Attic, and tool/asset, Cat Paw Cursors, were included in the bundle, and I wanted to create an illustration to promote it. A compilation of Allin's expressions from my 5-10 minute visual novel, A Tome in the Attic.
