I went to the #VancouverArtGallery and enjoyed #OtaniWorkshop ‘s exhibition “Monsters in My Head” again before it leaves 2026/01/04, and was inspired by a nearby interactive activity to draw some figures reminiscent of Otani Workshop’s creations! #art #pottery

I ain’t playin’ around with this gnocchi-making, mind you, even in spite of not having the right tools LOL. If I make this again, I’m absolutely getting a potato ricer 😂
Finely mashed potatoes (baked for an hour at 400 F, then peeled) mixed with vegan, gluten-free butter being pushed through a sieve with a spatula into a stainless steel bowl.

Oooooooooo I’m cookin’ tonight 😍 I busted out my #Holbein #IridoriSeries #gouache #paint and picked some pretty tricky #StillLife subjects to try my hand at, and I’m really proud of what I learned in the process!
Still life gouache paintings of an eggplant and red cabbage on toned watercolour paper.

Went to a splendid #CandlelightConcert last night featuring arrangements of pieces from #TheLordoftheRings and #GameofThrones for string quartet. There’s something magical about #livemusic , especially #orchestral or #choral #concert 😭❤️

If you see this you're now obligated to reply to this with your:
favorite Animal Crossing game 🌱
& your favorite Animal Crossing villager 🩷
A promo picture for Animal Crossing: New Horizons featuring a swath of loveable anthropomorphic characters. Two islanders are at the foreground, one wearing a hat and wielding an axe, and the other at a crafting table sawing a log. Wanda’s favourite AC:NH character, Elvis, who always reminded them of their grandfather with his affectionate grumbling belying his gruff affect. He is a lion wearing royal garb, and has a tough-looking scar on his cheek and an imperious stare.

But yeah my eye makeup is fuckin lit today
A close-up of Wanda’s eyes. They’ve used a fiery copper eyeshadow on their entire lid, buffed out using a warm orange-brown, and their eyeliner is a thick cat’s eye shape. In this photo, they are looking to their right, with their left eye in the light and the right in shadow. A close-up of Wanda’s eyes.

Tryin’ to take selfies that show off my strong jaw for perfectly cis reasons
Wanda (a.k.a. Theo), a 36 year old nonbinary person, stares down at the camera imperiously.

Trying to practice creating a sense of depth with haphazard florals! #gouache #Holbein #HolbeinGouache #HolbeinIridoriSummerSet
A gouache painting of a verdant array of roses and periwinkles, which burst forth alongside tufts of grass from a dark, velvety square backdrop.

Can’t stop won’t stop trying to layer more colour LOL. Eh, I think I’m gonna call this practice done 😭 #gouache #HIMIgouache
Additional layers of golden highlights laid overtop the deeper greens of the grass-like leaves!

Today was rough so I decided to practice drawing plants. It was fun to experiment! #gouache #HIMIgouache #jellygouache #HIMI #moleskine #moleskinenotebook #painting #practice
A moleskine notebook with small gouache vignettes of leaf paintings, where I was experimenting with different background shades and the effect of lighter and darker colour layers of the same verdant family.

LOL The internet appears to be doing an oopsie right now. First noticed that cplusplus.com was down (cuz I obsessively refer to the docs for C standard library functions), now the discover feed for BlueSky is throwing an error. Which devops dept is on fire right now? LOL

This was another addition from this week in my #moleskine, created using the very first #gouache paints that I bought (from the #VancouverArtGallery ‘s gift shop, I might add!)
A colourful array of shapes painted on a moleskine notebook; the pages are slightly warped from this water-based medium, and the page makes a rigid crackling sound when turned.

Felt good to paint in my #moleskine sketchbook with #HIMIgouache ! Impressed with how the paper doesn’t buckle with a bit of water #jellygouache #HIMI #HIMIjelly #HIMIjellygouache #gouache
A demonic figure stares menacingly at the viewer with three bulging eyes, its porcine nose squashed between those foul orbs, brandishing its snake-like tongue like a whip. You can practically feel its fetid breath cascading from the screen as it slavers with murderous intent.

Presenting #ThePeppermancer from #TheCosmicWheelSisterhood !! I absolutely adored this game, and loved her story arc in particular 🌶️🫑🔥 It's a splendid cozy game to curl up with this spooky season! #cozygame #cozygames #cozygaming #visualnovel #game #gaming #SpookySeason
The Peppermancer, a character from The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, sits at Fortuna's table and smiles as she presents her newest cultivar: The Pepper of Truth! She is wearing a wide brimmed hat from which are hung vials of hot sauce, and her neck is adorned with strands of shiny hot peppers. Her shawl is wrapped around her, but has fallen from her shoulders to bunch around her arms. The window opens into the great expanse of space in which Fortuna's prison is suspended.

1) Alt of photo is worth review: I SOMEHOW GOT A RARE SHIRT DROP THAT’S NOT MENTIONED ON THE WIKI: Goodnight shirt 😂although I thought it would be impossible to get at the time I did (spring), if you get a frozen or omni geode to drop the Lunarite, and if you have wool (bunny or sheep, req. shears)
Goodnight shirt item description from the stardew valley wiki: Goodnight Shirt - A big baggy nightshirt with a detailed moon graphic. - No (can’t be dyed) - Can be purchased from Maru at the Desert Festival - (can be made with) Lunarite Stardew valley wiki page text: “The desert festival is a festival that takes place every year in the Desert on Spring 15th, 16th, and 17th. The festival officially starts at 10am each day, and requires the Bus to be repaired in order to visit the festival. Pam's schedule as bus driver varies from her usual schedule.”

Gobsmacked with this #StardewValley save. Odds are minuscule for each of these events, but I encountered another of #Yoba ‘s #miracle s: my DOG dropped a DINO EGG. The probability isn’t even listed on the wiki; this was my first gift at max friendship with my dog 🤪🍀 #videogame tinyurl.com/4m7vp7pb
Wanda, otherwise known as Theolonius or Theo in every damned game they play nowadays, shows their StardewValley inventory containing a dinosaur egg, which was proffered as their very first max friendship gift from their dog. They also have found a Goodnight shirt (which they obtained as yet *another* infinitesimally-likely random drop: the wiki says may only be *purchased* from Maru at the desert festival; this only occurs *after* the desert is unlocked on spring 15-17, which is impossible in year 1!!!)

AAAAND NOW I GOT AN ANCIENT SEED FROM A TREASURE CHEST WHILE FISHING 😂😂😂🍀🍀🍀 0.7-0.8% chance of occurring #blessed #YobaProvides #StardewValley

Checked the wiki, and yeah, this “Dark Creature” sighting seems quite rare 😂

stardewvalleywiki.com/Secrets
A photo of the section on the Stardew Valley wiki page about the “Dark Creature”: Text: “There is a small random chance to see a large dark creature at night in Pelican Town, Cindersap Forest, the Backwoods, or the Secret Woods. This creature is larger than the dark creature that may appear after the Strange Capsule event. There is a very small random chance that this creature will leave a footprint behind” A photo of Bigfoot’s loping sprite animation frame appears below, above an in-game screenshot (far better than the one Wanda took in this thread)

Another gem observed in #StardewValley today: I found #Bigfoot, and in true Bigfoot-sighting fashion, I took a shakey, out-of-focus photo that barely has Bigfoot in-frame. L O L #gaming #easteregg
Text overlay: “JUST SPOTTED BIGFOOT BUT I TOOK THE WORST SCREENCAP. Isn’t that just on brand for a Bigfoot pic? Lol” Arrow pointing to a circled area on a screencap of Stardew Valley in the Secret Woods; it is late at night, and so Bigfoot is out taking a stroll, which Wanda so inexpertly captured at the very edge of the frame of the screenshot.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME I JUST GOT MY THIRD PRISMATIC SHARD FOR THIS SAVE. This is on my Nintendo switch, therefore unmodded. Do I need to go buy a lotto ticket or something?!! #StardewValley
In a reflection on their Nintendo Switch screen, Wanda is a’ firin’ their laser at their luck on this Stardew Valley run: they obtained a prismatic shard from a mystery box, and the red cabbage seed from the travelling cart.
