(will probably post a bit more about this on our side account after we get a nap in lol)

working on things is still not easy with everything we have going on for us, but right now we're trying to learn to have fun with it again!

this is part of an effort to make engaging with our passions feel safe again, which really just means that we'll be following our curiosity where it leads tbh

very slowly been getting back into coding lately ❤️ as part of this, we've fixed up a couple of our pk tools to hopefully be more user friendly! check em out:

A screenshot of our work in progress website, showing the blog page. There are four blog posts visible: three have short titles, and one has an extremely long title which stretches the tile to the entire height of the screen

Another screenshot, this time showing the posts arranged vertically. This time, the text on the blog tile is fully visible but escapes the container. Text on that tile reads: Title: blog with a really long title because i really gotta test to make sure this will work properly lol lmao etc etc Description: also a pretty long short description despite this thing being called short. who would do this. what is wrong with you. stop that. it's TOO LONG. THAT'S ENOUGH SLICES

web design is my passion :)

anyways, that's all for now! have a great day everybody :3

that said: expect to see more wacky, unfiltered, silly, and weird stuff from us in the future. we're gonna be annoying and i will make sure of it >:3

i want to break our avoidance and social anxiety by unapologetically being us. and purposely being a massive yapper. prepare yourselves :)

honestly though, our main focus lately has very much been on our health (both physical and mental) and trying to undo some things that have made life harder for us for a long time. it's a massive work in progress, and it's hard, but we're getting there i think. slowly but surely, we make progress <3

small ramble update from our side account!

main points:
- haven't moved yet, hoping to do so by the end of this month or next month
- still struggling a lot. still doing our best ❤️
- been thinky thonkin about content stuff again

don't wanna say too much for fear of breaking promises again but 👀

anyways! still, this is an overall positive for us rn and we're excited to be moving into a new place that won't have the bugs and mice that this house does :D
plus we're excited to do things™ again >:3

that's all for now, thanks for reading!! ❤️
- Dusk

but, that's just something that we're going to have to work towards, especially since it requires having an income and that's still the biggest hurdle right now 😅

we're hoping that moving into a cleaner home with no history to it will help us feel better, but we'll have to see how it plays out ^^;

living with family that caused a ton of the trauma and neglect that led to us developing c-ptsd is still hard for us, even though we've had good news to share. it's still 100x better than living with our ex, but it does weigh on us pretty heavily. we still want to get out of here eventually

on the topic of health actually: we've been struggling mainly with our fatigue as of late. it kinda feels like we're in a neverending crash, and everything feels really hard and really exhausting

we've been reading a book about c-ptsd though, and i think we might actually be in a flashback :'3

- related to that: we're planning to stream again once we're moved into the new place, which will hopefully be around the start of next year

- we're still struggling a lot with financial stuff and health issues tbh, but we still really wanna do creative things again <3 we miss it so much

more updates from us:
- moving soon!! nana (our grandma) was able to find a house that can handle all four of the folks living here. from what we've been told we should be getting the keys within the next week so we can start moving :D

gonna make another thread with some more updates in a sec but wanted to post the doodle uwu

we've had the new phone for about a week now and honestly it's pretty nice? we've been avoiding pixels cuz of knowing how bad they are to repair, but the actual phone itself isn't so bad. plus it's nice to no longer be trapped on Android 9 lol (this phone comes with Android 16, for reference)

we don't have a pressure sensitive stylus with this phone (it's a pixel, so we just have a rubber tip stylus) so it's a little weird to draw with, but i think we could get used to it <3

but also, since we got to keep our galaxy note 8, we can still draw with that as well (which DOES have a stylus)

a digital bust sketch of a person with straight, chin-length hair and longer bangs that cover most of their eyes and frames their face. they have a smug expression and a floating knife is pointed at them

the same drawing from before, but this time colored with a mostly lineless style. they have light skin, red hair, and red eyes, and they're wearing a green shirt with a yellow stripe across it. the knife is colored with a silver blade and a black handle

got a new phone (grandma took advantage of an upgrade deal with our provider; we're still keeping the old one thankfully) and decided to doodle on it to see how well it works :3c

- Dusk

Big changes are coming :3c
... And by that I mean we changed our system name lol. Hi, we're Selenelion Aberration! We go by Sol or Selen now if you're referring to us collectively

Calling us Grey is fine still, we just needed a name that represents who we are now as opposed to a few years ago ❤️

After seven long years of keeping our bots going, it's time to say goodbye to them 💔
We'll be shutting down our bots on November 14, 2025

A picture of a desk holding a makeshift computer setup. There's a handheld gaming device on the right (ROG Ally) held in place by a box from cans of mountain dew, a secondary monitor on the left, and a 2-in-1 laptop folded so that only the screen is accessible perched on a shelf behind them. There are plenty of cables spanning the desk, along with the (unopened, save for one) cans of mtn dew from the box. To the far right is a box fan on full blast

no promises, BUT........... work in progress <3

Addendum: we'll be leaving the GFM up and will still be accepting donations from anyone wanting to chuck a few bucks our way- we don't want to permanently live with family and we'd still like to move out when we get the chance. Every little bit helps us to do that ❤️

But yeah, just wanted to talk about it here. It's been so exhausting being in this relationship and I'm so, so glad we're getting out of it. The fact that she has shown how little she cares and how little she wants to change speaks volumes about her. I'm glad to be rid of that soon.

- Dusk

She isn't kicking us out, to be clear. We decided to open the conversation about getting us back to Michigan during that blow up. It's our decision and we're glad to be doing it, even if we might get worse for a bit because of it. Ultimately I think this will be better for us and our well-being.
