june art log

The May themes in the art server were urban landscapes + pen, literally the perfect combo. It’s therefore embarrassing that I didn’t go outside to sketch a single time all month. Many days I didn’t even have the energy to step outside and take a perfunctory walk around the block, although I enjoyed ...

a trio of tales: morgana, iyazo, valentine

Here’s another area in which I actively train my brain: telling stories. One of my habitual mental pastimes is to retell stories to myself, fashioning events into narrative. For instance:  The tale of Morgana  Around five years ago, Cora wound up with too many cats. This happens frequently...

five little ducks went out to play

Woke up at 7:53 am with a massive leg cramp. No way to go back to sleep after that. Now it’s mid-morning and I’m incredibly sleepy and scatterbrained, which is unfortunate because I really need to buckle down on work. My attention span has been horrible lately. I keep shuffling around text and rewri...

ragebaiting

LD chat is incredibly toxic whenever someone mentions AI. LilDemon said they felt like ragebaiting someone, and none of their friends were online, so instead they were talking to AI (which doesn’t make sense, it’s a chatbot, it’s literally incapable of rage). Anyway the entire chat went off on them ...

crested challenge

May 16-31 is the crested challenge, in which you have to breed 20 cubs with crested manes. I expected this to be a nightmare, considering how hard it was to get just three albino cubs last December. Consider: if you breed BLSC x BLSC, there are five possible outcomes (albino, birch, eggshell, isabel...

green, a creative color

Watercolor has really got me to appreciate the color green. It’s great for color mixing and feels like it has more versatility and range than other colors. My usual greens:sap green, a light earthy/warm greenhooker green dark, a moderately cool dark greenlime green [cerulean + lemon yellow], a highl...

hey you, out of the gene pool

It amazes me how much Lioden’s mechanics actively encourage people to shit up the chased pool. First, claiming lions gives free impression. So if you’re stat pushing (or just grinding a new lead to dreamboat), you want to claim every lioness you aren’t fighting. Second, every few days you get the 50...

weekend mornings, retrospective on finch

Wasted a perfectly good Saturday morning not doing anything. I kept thinking “Raid is soon, I should do something beforehand.” But what? I already finished my last book (Absolution) (great book, I liked it better than the og trilogy) and hadn’t yet picked something else to read. I didn’t feel like p...

kings, studs, and raffle lions

that bat? kinda fat

Still wrestling this aggressive ennui. I didn’t even go outside yesterday, not even to take out the trash, though I really should have. Gotta change the air filter (should’ve been done two days ago). Gotta take out the big kitchen trash (trash is piling up on the kitchen counters because the trash i...

appendicitis

Sooo BB’s in the ER with appendicitis. Saturday morning he was totally fine. We read books together; he swung on his trampoline bar and played with blocks and asked me to draw a sandcastle; I taught him to play hide-and-seek. By late morning he was winding down, and he had an early nap at noon, a bi...

where are daredevil covers when you need them

We’ve got a new ancient, vigils, and the hatchlings are devastatingly ugly. Starts things on a bad foot to see THAT crawling out of a clanbound egg. People have been clamoring for an ugly hatchling for a while; I don’t get it, but I guess they’re happy now. I’m not fussed about the hatchling form—th...
