My life is a constant back and forth of being told that I “work so hard” yet I’m also “not trying hard enough” and it’s like??? In these here conditions we live in??

They gaze into the chunk of pink salt 🥸

One of those spiraling days…weeeeee or I guess wooooo?

leftovers gonna slap hard tomorrow

Got a new mattress and bedframe since it was time to replace. And as I finish assembling the frame my mom went “wow, this is huge!” We have now realized after a lifetime of telling me that my current bed was a queen size that it was actually a full size. Luckily everything fits but like?

Draft 2 of the book is complete 😗😗 potentially 2-3 more drafts/rounds of edits to go, but we’re making progresssssssss

The agony of wanting to ✨share ✨things that I’ve been working on but gotta wait to do so is reallll. Needless to say I am excited for this one

Grandma’s birthday last night was filled with my aunt glazing her use of ChatGPT as a teacher and my uncle bragging about his AI generated music video as a VFX artist so…never going back there again

The way my mom asks me to help her with something and then mysteriously (conveniently) leaves the room until I finish the thing myself needs to be studied…

job-boards.greenhouse.io/turtlerockst... Turtle Rock it's looking for a junior/associate character artist. #GameDev #GameJobs #ArtJobs #GameDevJobs #3DartJobs

If you live in NYC, go vote! You have a chance to boot that piece of shit sex pest out of office!

For reasons unbeknownst to me the memories of all my rejected job apps (that I made it past the screening) popped into my head and while I’m proud to have been sent these interviews and tests I’m just like…feedback? Not a single crumb?? Or was it good but just not the vibe they were looking for??

Happy Halloween everyone!!! 🎃 Dessert Island was such a fun project to work on, and I hope anyone who supports all the effort and hard work put into this piece has tons of fun with it!

I've started feeling grateful for the minor grammar errors I may make when writing, because I hope that whoever is reading it is less inclined to believe I'm using ChatGPT or some other garbage

Games not being seen as art is going to destroy the industry if changes aren’t made. People want games to work like the tech industry, when it’s closer to movies and TV shows. Same with animation. Games and animation both deserve more respect.

I’m at the stage of draft writing/editing where I think the entire thing is absolute shizzzzzz, but I was reminded that iteration/feedback are key and at least I’m not having some soulless entity write it for me 😗

I keep seeing all the cute outfits people are making in the new Pokemon Legends game and then here I am just like…

In my head I feel like I have to finish this manuscript by the end of the year and then I’m reminded that this is draft 2 of at *LEAST* 3-4 and that I have to stop comparing myself to someone who’s a full time author. Not to mention job apps and the other teams/projects I’m working on

Something deliciously spooky this way comes on 10/31! A new Halloween zine, journey to Dessert Island and see if you can survive! Writing: @aidanwxng.bsky.social Cover: @piiyne.bsky.social @poisonghoulart.bsky.social Cartography: @saironwen.bsky.social Character Art: @inkarat.bsky.social

Second day back on the manuscript and we’re making progress! Hoping for finish this second draft by the year amidst all the….whatever the helllllll is happening as of late *in general*

Signal Boosting having found and stitched it off on my own account

Chiitan's no longer asking for LGBTQ+ rights He's demanding. We stand for Chiitan in this household.

I have decided to take a week off from working on the manuscript. Will the workaholic in me last long enough to reset my brain or will it succumb to the need to be productive during the job hunt? Only time will tell

Chinese hotpot night!!!! 🥘

This is what we got next on the reading list!!! I am prepared for emotional turmoil (but what else is new considering the state of the world 🥹)

If your embarrassed to say the words simply sharing the work of artists you admire as that's rare for many and can go a long way to helping someone feel more confident with there creative efforts when it finds a audience who respect it. But do consider saying something, them posts stay with people.

Trans healthcare is a non-negotiable human right

Spent today’s crash out reorganizing my room so….i suppose the feng shui is a little better when dealing with *gestures to everything*

Tiny Bookshop has been such a cute game to play this weekend. And I love recognizing some of my fav books when recommending to an npc

The Knights of Guinevere pilot was sooooo good and I need multiple seasons of it 💕💕

If you do not think I should be allowed to openly hate Nazis, I'm just going to assume I, as a Queer Jewish woman, am not safe with you

Every new mega evolution that’s revealed makes me want to shell out $500 that I don’t have for that switch 2 bundle 😂

A few of my favorite of our environment shots from Sword of the Sea Reminder that I'm looking for work as an Environment Artist or 3D Artist 🙂

This Labor Day I shall clean my room (snd various parts of the house) to regain some semblance of routine after being sick all week 🎉

My parents got me sick so I suppose I shall be suffering the remainder of the week 😭

I am tirreeeedddddd of this heat. Autumn can come out now, its existence is welcome and in fact encouraged atp 😭

Today’s triple digit weather is attacking me and I don’t like it 😐

Edited/rewrote ~ 2000 words today and did some ✨narrative stuff ✨for another project and then immediately got a headache so…goodnight at, 12:26pm 😂

Little book writing update, but draft 2 is going pretty gooood. Rewrites and edits are clearer now that I see the vision. Fingers crossed I can get to the beta reader stage by the end of this year/early next 😗

Anytime an ‘expert’ in any field advises anyone to use ChatGPT, they lose credibility tbh

Did….did discord update?? I dislike this notification placement 😭😭

The thing with having skills so tied up with an AI program, means that without it you basically loose all skills, and/or have to start from scratch again. Unlike most actual creatives who can probably paint/ make music/sculpt using other programs or traditionally with just a slight adaptation.

In a weird stroke of interest my mom asked me what I was up to in my room these days and I told her about job apps + my different projects. She was surprisingly receptive because she apparently thought I was rotting away doing nothing in this job market so 🤷‍♀️ it’s a small win I suppose

Ya’ll Cyberpunk 2077 is on sale for $21 and I’m tempted 🥸🥸

Getting started on a new game project is apparently what the doctor ordered cuz it do be helping (distracting?) me from the horrors of my thoughts.

This entire week a huge beetle has been trying to get into my room crashing into the window multiple times and I fear for my life for a good 5 minutes every day

I love chats with a good mentee. They def give me hope for the future

This evening’s activity was helping my mom factory reset her old computer…everything was slow, unresponsive, or just straight up not there 😭 but we did it after a grueling hour
