Wouldn’t call myself an artist, but I draw. I like language stuff like etymology & conlanging

CalyxOS is rocks!!

I hate Google's garbage that comes with the default android installation on most phones. Some alternative android ROMs exist (GrapheneOS and /e/OS are the most popular ones), but I wasn’t particularly satisfied with my options: GrapheneOS is pixel-exclusive, and I have a Fairphone (and don’t wanna buy a pixel), /e/OS is… I don’t particularly have a lot of trust in it tbh. For a while I’ve been…

The Summer Hikaru Died (I am obsessed with it)

Please watch it!! It’s so beautiful and amazing and so gay omg! I love this anime. Even considering buying the manga, tho it’s like 7 volumes, so idk idk. I can’t wait for the second season to release! Sinopsis Yoshiki’s best friend, Hikaru, goes missing for a week and then returns like nothing ever happened. Yoshiki realises that that’s not actually Hikaru, and confronts him, to which ‘Hikaru’…

Considering writing with Þorn and Eð characters. Is that annoying to read?

I’m considering using the þorn & eð characters in my posts, but I do worry that people who aren’t used to seeing them might find their presence annoying or confusing. Like, what it turns away potential readers. They are very cool characters tho…

Angel Devil

Drew Angel Devil (from Chainsaw Man), cuz he’s literally me

Weird cool dark crust pizza

Went to a vegan restaurant with my siblings a while back, and there was this cool pizza that had dark crust, but it wasn’t burnt, it was just with some carbon thing or something… I decided I wanted to draw it but then got demotivated for a while. But today since I was rly bored and couldn’t use my laptop, I kinda forced myself to finish it: I’m still trying to add calligraphy practice into my…

Blue Period

Just finished watching Blue Period, and I really recommend. It’s kinda nice seeing someone grow artistically, kinda makes me wanna practice drawing more. I do wish I got to see more of Ryuji’s story tho. And here come the brainworms: I’m also kinda feeling down at the same time, cuz I envy those characters. They got their life together (at least more than me). They know what their calling is, and…

Just draw literally any random thing

I’ve been dealing with some really bad burnout and a slightly depressive mood as of late. And it’s been much longer than my normal cyclical ups and downs. The reason was that I couldn’t bring myself to create anything. Everything felt really pointless and even negative. Programming-wise, I couldn’t come up with any useful idea that wouldn’t fall apart on the next day when I critically looked at…

I want more anime like Barakamon

I love this anime so much ! It’s so wholesome! (I’m currently on episode 9) The main character is a slightly narcissistic calligrapher that struggles with inspiration and basically ends up on a rural island cuz he hit a critic. He slowly learns to live in the moment and overcomes his social problems through interacting with the villagers, especially a group of kids. I kinda relate to him, not in…

I did a consumerism

Lately I’ve been overwhelmed by everything. One of my ideas to counter that, was to embrace minimalism and minimize my belongings; it’s hard. I have too many pens (2 is too many, but I have more), and guess what, to have just one pen, I bought a new one, cause I wanted a pretty one… *sigh* To add insult to injury, I actually wanted a Muji pen, cause there’s just something about them. I love their…

I forgot how scary learning is

I feel like anything I would’ve liked to do, I should’ve invested time into from early childhood. I haven’t really gotten any new abilities at all since then. Programming, drawing, even photography to an extent, are something I’ve learned since childhood, and now that I’m burnt out (or depressed, I don’t know the difference, and don’t care), I can’t really get into the flow state on anything. I…
