Came across my first spring flower: a purple and white crocus 🥹

Self portrait of me with sunlit purple and blue gradient hair and a blacl and white print sleeveless dress.

A small carrot cake on a leaf pattered plate with a cat paw motif fork beside it. Above it on the table are a teapot and a Japanese teacup with a bunny print on it.

A little Easter-themed dessert 💜

Close up of Scout staring up at something with his tongue sticking out a bit.

Scout stares up at a glowing spot on the ceiling from his perch on the back of an armchair. Behind him are some gunplas, dried flowers, lego flowers, and a wall filled with art prints, Alice Nine. memorabilia, and other band memorabilia.

When the sun hits Scout's water dish just right, it casts a little circle onto the ceiling and Scout stares at it and chirps until it disappears 😹🖤

Looking down at a pancake on a metallic blue plate on a table with a cup of tea, bird-shaped cinnamon shaker, a can of maple syrup, and a teapot beside it.

Pancake breakfast with cinnamon tea ♡

These are so sweet!

Tofu, lentil, and wild rice soup with mushrooms and green onions as garnish.

A bowl of soup with pea shoots added to it.

💜♪ Variation on a theme

Scout sleeps curled up in a chair with one back paw dangling eleganly over the edge of thr chair.

Scout the cat sits on my fleece blanket covered lap and looks down with curiosity at a small rice bowl filled with crispy vegetable slices. Beside it is a hardcover book entitled: The Little Book of Mushrooms.

Sleepy Scout & Curious Lap-Cat Scout

Scout presses his nose to a soft cat toy in the shape of sushi.

A plate of canneloni, tomato sauce, microgreens, and sauteed vegetables. Near it is a computer mouse and a Japanese-style tea mug filled with water with a Rilakkuma print on it.

Scout giving his sushi toy a cuddle at lunch, and tonight's supper ♡

Close up of a shaved patch on Scout's back, which is otherwise luxuriously fluffy.

❖ a euphemism for--

Close up of Scout's pink nose and sleepy green eyes.

Close up of miniature scarlet colured roses.

Scout and the roses in morning sunbeams ♡

Also, I'm now fairly certain I last saw them in 2018, not 2016, like I was thinking lol

For whatever reason (the cover art maybe?), I always associated the wave to the White Buffalo charging and driving away ships -- but I'm no longer sure that's what the metaphor represents in the song lyrics.

For someone that creates metaphors often, I am kinda bad at understanding others'.

Standing in a sunbeam with bright purple hair, a mauve dress, and green metal-rim glasses.

Finally found the right name for a character that appears in The Rose of the Wood, Rampion, Casseltaur, and Bone Harp (temp title) which unblocked a bunch of ideas for his backstory and personality, too.

Then I began crafting the missing scenes in the middle of Rampion, for emotional depth 🌿

Scout looks down at something with curiosity and I look down at the same thing with a small smile

Serious question: how do you maintain a full time job, make significant progress in your art/writing projects, nurture relationships, organize a community, keep your home clean, feed yourself, and find moments to relax without some area of your life suffering? Because I'm struggling.

Crown Lands lit by white spotlights on a dark stage.

Me in a Crown Lands buffalo print t-shirt making the devil horns sign

After 10 years, I finally got to see Crown Lands live again, and it was GLORIOUS. 3 hours of rock deeply anchored in epic lyrical storytelling

White Buffalo at the end was perfection! 🌊🤍

The memory of this gig will definitely feed into my writing. Looking forward to their upcoming album!

Scout looks into the camera, cuddled into a faux-fur blanket on the floor.

A lavender coloured lego hibiscus potted plant sits on a table next to a white playstation 4 controller with magic books and implements behind them.

Scout kept me company all day as I finished editing the first part of Rampion to submit to this month's critique session. I really hope the group thinks it's promising! I made significant changes to the tone.

I also finished the last sections of the lego hibiscus I got for Christmas. So pretty!

This is so beautiful! I love all the details ❄️💜

This weekend's reading list:
- あおむしドロップ (徐々に)
- The Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler)
- Animal Magick (D.J. Conway)

Thermal INK Tattoos... ahhhh if only there was an edit button

Two tattoos on my outstretched arm. On top, a horizontal panel showing someone's irises dripping off of their eyes. On he bottom, materializing from the drops, a fox spirit in swirling ink with red accents on his forehead and eyes.

Holding up an ochoko in a toast.

My new fox spirit tattoo is even more beautiful than I imagined it would be... my second piece by Mr. Yang from Thermal Tattoos (the other was 花鳥風月)!

Afterward I celebrated with some hot junmai sake and tonkatsu 💜

Scout lies on his back on a knit green blanket, wearing a pink onesie

Scout, the black and white cat, sniffs the camera with his bright pink nose, naked again!

Scout loved his onesie, but we finally got to take it off because he's healed up enough! 🖤🤍

お疲れ様でしたにや

Thank you for refilling my cup too! 😁 I'm already looking forward to our next little adventure ❤️

Ah, context: GEMINI is a song/album by Alice Nine. that deeply influenced me in general, and was an influence for the Everyforest specifically
