my bad for not posting on NYD but I did an art to open 2026 that is based on my fic The Stars, two songs, and 2025.

Digital painting of the Mandalorian Din Djarin in the style of a tarot card. He is bent over, helmetless and run through from the back by the Darksaber. At his knees is his helmet, stabbed through with a sword. Nearby are the piles of helmets and armor of other Mandalorians. Looming over him are ancient Mandalorians holding swords. Above them are stars and planets. Everything is colored in shades of teal, red-orange, and yellow. (Edit: I did NOT have the Ka'ra on my mind, I just wanted to illustrate the Din Djarin from my fic The Stars having nightmares about the Darksaber, but hey. When they work out, they work out.)

Pregananant shrimp showed me her babies while devouring a bloodworm and I am endlessly delighted by the little eyes staring back. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping
Berried blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp resting on some moss eating a bloodworm. On her underside are pinkish and bluish eggs with tiny black eyes. To the right and also standing on a strand of moss is a small male blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp. Berried blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp from another angle. Shrimp is eating a bloodworm and showing an underside full of pinkish and bluish eggs with little eyes staring out. Hatch day should be in the next couple of weeks.

Obsessed with the new tank build now that everything's settled. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping
Berried blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp sitting on a bucephalandra plant that is nestled in spiderwood above leaf litter and an alder cone. A minuscule bluish shrimp baby sits on a spiderwood branch with a few large limpets. A darkly colored adult shrimp lurks on the other side of the branch.

Before the twice-boiled alder cones started leeching hella tannins and threw my pH out of wack. Also two tiny bundles of buce dislodged themselves and I knocked the spiderwood out of place trying to wedge them back into place. Thank fuck it's waterlogged. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

Rescaped the shrimp cube and am currently cycling it. Had to glue 3 pieces of spiderwood to get the dramatic look. Loving it so far. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

I slept on it and spent all day with it glowing on my dresser and I have 0 regrets. this is one orb I'm happy to ponder forever.
A speckled blue glass orb sits on a light source on a dresser in a dimly lit room. Within the orb is a smaller orb, white with swirls of color like a rotating planet. Ponder the orb!

So I brought home some actual factual fish. And another snail. 7 ember tetras and another nerite to join my large shrimp tank. #fishtank #shrimptank
Seven ember tetras and one zebra nerite snail floating in a plastic bag inside their future home. A 9 gal aquarium with red root floaters, a stone and "bonsai" hardscape covered in moss and buce, and two substrates divided by a rock wall. Seven ember tetras swim in front of the hardscape and above a nerite snail and an army of neocaridina shrimp.

Spent the weekend on maintenance and shrimp cube still needs water changes to help clear the haze, but it's nice to see the lil bugs swarming the shrimp lollies... but jfc that is so much shrimp.

#shrimptank #neocaridinashrimp
Photo of blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp swarming a shrimp lolly in the shrimp cube. Please ignore the hazy water, I'm working on it. At least the limpets are happy. Photo of carbon rili and wild type neocaridina shrimp swarming a shrimp lolly in the betta(-less) moon tank.

I drew the meme, twice. The first was scribbled night of the Halftime Show feat. the Super Bowl and it was fun way to finally get my desire to scribble a Kendrick out of my system. And then I thought, "I want to make a sticker and slap it on my tumbler."

So I drew the meme again. #kendricklamar
Chibi art of Kendrick Lamar in his Super Bowl Halftime Show fit flashing his winningest smile while looking straight at the camera and saying, "Say Drake!" Never beating the cutie patootie allegations.

So... my wild patterned carbon rilis are dropping not just blue carbon rilis but also snowballs? Wild shit. #neocaridinashrimp #shrimptank
A young small white neocaridina shrimp picking through sand next to an adult wild type from carbon rili lines. I did not buy any snowballs.

this baby has been mad at the Democrats since at least the middle of 2009. guess I'll leave this up, too. bet Meta won't touch it.
Facebook message from August 16, 2009: hates the GOP for fucking everything up, and the Democrats for being such fucking wimps about it.

Deleting as many posts as I can off of my FB before removing all albums. I can't disconnect from family and friends so I can't wipe my account off but I can make it less useful to Meta. All I'm keeping are posts about my cat, my dog and my grandpa's deaths, and I guess this.

New chapter drop. L.A. burns, the world turns, and I be posting. The Stars Chapter 9. Nevarro - archiveofourown.org/works/455376...

#dinluke #lukedin
Chapter banner art. Monochromatic drawing of Nevarro with the city gates to the left and the half-constructed watchtower behind some rock formations. They are surrounded by lava rock formations and mountains, and steam from the volcanic vents. An unidentified spacecraft flies across the sky. White text reads ‘9. Nevarro’.

Outside the zone but sure did love getting this. THIS IS FINE. Also got a second evacuation warning text while writing this one. Still outside the zone, thankfully. THIS IS TOTALLY FINE.

Spent all day at the office watching the Palisades Fire start and grow.

For auld lang syne. #dinluke #lukedin
Digital painting of a cityscape at night. The sky is dark and lit up with colorful fireworks. The city is dotted full of glowing warm lights. In the foreground are silhouettes of two figures leaning on the railing - Din Djarin and Luke Skywalker. Din is watching the fireworks with his helmet next to his right elbow. He is unaware that Luke is looking at him.

The massively eggnant shrimp's eggs have changed color and hatch day draws near. First shrimplets of the new year?? #shrimptank #neocaridinashrimp

Insane how good the red root floaters look, even in dimmed evening light. I should get pics in daytime light settings. Leaves are deep dark green with deep red edges. Roots are red af. So happy. #shrimptank
