my imagination is a meownastery and I am its meownk
I made a thing! (Please pretend these pictures are dithered for aesthetic reasons and not just as an attempt to disguise the fact that the original pictures looked terrible because my phone can't take good photos at night. I'll try to grab some better ones if I remember to do so!) Specifically, I made a papercraft moth with a following eyes effect on its wings. I can't fully explain the thought…
I've decided to join in Junited ! I'll be using this post to link to blog posts. (For blogs themselves, check out my links page. This reminds me I should update it.) People making cool things A ring - I loved this post because Ava goes into detail about the process of making a ring with a stone! A bee bath - I'm obsessed with making my meager outdoor spaces more pollinator-friendly, so I…
For the RETURN OF THE REALLY BAD IF jam, I made a little game that you can't really read. It does have a storyline of sorts. It's called ⚞⏧! and you can find it here . It's pretty silly but I had fun!
Have you heard of the Brunus edwardii ? This creature is commonly found in homes all over the world. It is especially common in households with children, but some older individuals have also been recorded as dwelling with adults. You have probably slept next to a Brunus edwardii . The Brunus edwardii is, in fact, the teddy bear. In 1972, the Veterinary Record celebrated April Fool's by publishing…
I was leafing through the latest issue of Fortean Times when I came across an intriguing essay by Steven Toase. The author notes the marmalade sandwiches left for Queen Elizabeth II alongside floral tributes and especially a pattern of illustrations and memes depicting Paddington shepherding various deceased British celebrities to the afterlife. I just tried using Google Images to track how this…
Random links first. Oldie but goodie: Word Perhect (sic) is a word processor created by Tomo Takahashi in 2000. It's both a parody of word processors of the day and a fun thing in its own right. Originally built in Flash, you can use it again thanks to Ruffle! I love Divergent Rays in general but Government Cats + Riot Dogs may be my favourite page. A very old tortoise visits an exhibition that…
I'm bored and can't think of what to say, so here's Ava's Bear Blog Question Challenge ! I've always want to jump on that bandwagon because it seems fun. Why did you make the blog in the first place ? I wanted a place to document assorted stuff, like books I read or interesting things I find. I've got a paper journal but I wanted something I could share with my friends. I've posted about some of…
Things IRL have been tough for me recently, so I mostly just feel exhausted and like my head is filled with cotton. As a source of diversion and comfort, I've turned to The Sims . As in, the original game. I installed it on my computer at some point and meant to revisit it, but only ended up getting around to that recently. I'm really enjoying it! It's not just how nostalgic it makes me for when I…
I've been singularly uninspired lately, but... 2025 was a busy year for me. I finished my second game and posted about the process behind the first . There were some career changes in my life and I'm studying again. I started making a zine, but put it on hold when things got busy and completely forgot about it until yesterday. I started posting here more regularly and made a lot of changes. Still,…
I'm finally on a much-needed break. Unfortunately, I've been ill and ended up in the ER the other day. I've also been very, very bored. I'm supposed to spend most of my time in bed but can't really focus on much when I'm awake. Even playing Animal Crossing, of all things, feels exhausting. Fortunately, I've been sleeping a lot and that makes time go by faster. One thing I've noticed on my return…
