Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Ok ok, back is making a little progress, was able to do some more work from home. It's always the "I feel useless" part that sucks the most besides the pain, so I'm glad I could do /something/

Did a "fuck it" and made a new dating profile.

Any Dropout TV or Game Changer fans looking for a cute little treat? I sold these Game Changer earrings at a Dropout Tribute show and these are the 6 pairs. Would love to see them go to fans, so happy to sell them for $5 plus shipping (probably cost of a regular stamp?)

Well shit, once again my back gave up on me and I'm in a lot of pain. So no streams for a little while.

Death to Chronos! Playing some more Hades 2 :3 twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

I totally didn't get myself some more yarn again >> Going to try to make a yarn painting kind of thing, so I have a goal for the lots of rope making now xD

I'm so zonked out after today I completely forgot about streaming, woops! Maybe I'll be able to tomorrow instead, cause for now I just want to relax and go to bed early >>

Picked up the lucet fork again. No idea yet what to do with this, thought maybe I could make it long enough for a mixed media painting style thing (like a Starry Night or some waves or something) but that requires a lot more colors than I have atm. Does any of you have any other ideas perhaps?

Listen, I had to xD #Hades2

Playing more Hades 2 on stream! So much has happened already >> twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Figured I'd do just one more run of Hades 2 before streaming it again tomorrow... Had such a good combo I almost defeated the 3rd boss >>

Not me playing two more runs of Hades 2 off stream (when my hands had recovered from stream that is xD) and getting to the 2nd boss >> Freaking love how it gives me the same feeling of "ooee what's this" as the first game did :3 (So no spoilers plz, have managed to avoid those so far!)

What's this? Iska playing Hades 2 for the first time? Why yes, yes it is! Come join me over at twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Also, finally some good news, Milo is going to be ok :3 He had a bone infection and had 3 weeks of antibiotics. The bump looked bigger though so I was worried (and so was the vet). But another x ray later, his paw bones are looking good again, the swelling is just still there for his body to absorb

It's been awhile since I got myself some new clothes and really needed some more to wear to work during winter. This is my fav set of it all, I'm a sucker for wide jeans and some good sleeves xD

I thought I'd be able to stream tonight, but I got home after work with quite the headache from everything going on there and I need to go to the vet with Milo again tomorrow as well... So I'll see if I can stream in the weekend instead. Sorry for it being so inconsistent ><

No stream today. I thankfully can pick up my prescription of a higher dosage of pain meds again, but that means I'll hopefully have some relief again tomorrow. So for today it's just a bit too painful to game or paint unfortunately.

I know this feeling will pass, but since the days are growing darker and being single again, it's just weighing on me how lonesome it can feel during these days. I'm fine really, just had a LOT happen 2 weeks ago in the span of 3 days and I think it's finally settling.

Also pulled my first Epic! Had a lot of luck with legendary cards as well (pulled 4 legendary cards from 2 packs of Fabled), AND got 2 promo cards instead of the usual 1 xD I'm super happy about this haul :3

I was so giddy pulling this card ;-; the video doesn't do the foil work justice imo!

It's been a long time since I painted a miniature, it's not done yet, but good enough for a stream where my brain was mush!

My brain is very fried, so figured I'd do a little miniature painting to relax a little on stream. Got plenty of miniatures that still need color anyway! twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

The end result of that flower kit :3 not the best shot of it, but y'all get the idea xD

Live rn! We're building a Sakura wooden flower diy kit :3 twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

‼️ETHAN WINTERS‼️ Ending my Lady Dimitrescu Halloween streak with the best of the set🖤 So far👀 📸 & Edit jujuinthebox_photo (IG) Cosplay and Model Me #halloween #ladydimitrescu #giantwoman #residentevil #cosplay #residentevilvillage #residentevilcosplay #ladydimitrescucosplay

It's the first time in years I haven't done anything for Halloween, so have a throwback to the shoot of (I think) 2021 where I zombified myself :P Don't think I ever showed that on here yet, so figured why not! Photo credit: Sharon Graman #cosplay #halloween

Just took a nap and still feel really tired (had to do a lot today on my day off and with everything going on it's no surprise I'm still tired) so decided to do the wooden flower building stream on Saturday instead. Would also mean a fresh start on a new month and I kinda like that idea.

No stream tonight, I'm completely drained from everything going on atm. I might stream tomorrow instead (depending on how drained I am then tbh)

I think about this a lot.

Had an awful shitshow of a week so decided to treat myself today and go to the crystal shop nearby and picked up a couple new pieces. They also had massive gorgeous dragon head "sculpture" gemstones but they were way out of my budget unfortunately xD

No stream tonight, got some personal stuff I'm dealing with atm. I'll let y'all know when I'll stream again!

I've been exhausted this entire week already, think I'm getting sick or something. So instead of streaming I'm crawling into bed early to hopefully get this out of my system soon!

Let's try out some Steam Next Fest demos! Starting off with Demeo x Dungeons and Dragons Battlemarked (big fan of Demeo, so I'm excited to try it out :3 ) twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Monday be Monday-ing, I just want to crawl into bed and sleep for a couple of days

Another stream?! Why yes, I couldn't stop thinking about this game and really want to finish it >> Live rn with more Beacon Pines! twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Seeing a 93 year old lady go into her first therapy session to try to work through her traumas yesterday, after being suppressed for so long, it definitely put some things into perspective for me. It's never too late to work on yourself and do/find out what YOU want y'all ❤️

Playing another cute and creepy game for Spooktober: Beacon Pines! twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Let's start out Spooptober with some Birth! twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Anyway, it's Spooptober! I'll try to stream some cutesy creepy games on stream (got Birth lined up for tonight!), if anyone has any suggestions for other games like that, please let me know! (I've played Little Misfortune and Strange Horticulture before for instance)

I haven't really been giving life updates here, not sure if folks are interested in anything besides the occassional art stuff anyway. Not that that's a bad thing btw! I'm very bad at keeping folks up to speed as is xD just sometimes wish I could express myself more, ya know?

Messing around in Rebelle 7 Pro tonight! Feel free to stop by if you need a coworking buddy! twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

I seriously forgot how nice it is to have people recognise a cosplay character and to have these random geeking out moments with folks at an event ;-; I haven't cosplayed much lately, so this was really, really nice ❤️

Chose to go Agatha (all along) today xD

Going to an event tomorrow and I'm doubting so much if I should go Agatha Harkness or go in the piratey get up...

Let's see if Unpacking makes me rage again xD (that dude's apartment 🤬 ) Aka live rn! twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

Researching sticker makers (want a good product from decent folk) and this is my short list. Lemme know if you have experience using them. Praise or flags welcome. stickerninja.com vinyldisorder.com www.stickergiant.com www.standoutstickers.com thestickybrand.com deathbystickers.com

I need something to chill with, so going to try playing some Unpacking on stream :3 twitch.tv/Iskacosplay

My desk is currently looking like I'm having some kind of satin ribbon ritual xD

No stream tonight, my back has been a pain again since Sunday unfortunately. It is what it is. Hopefully can pick up streaming again next week!
