good morning 🌈✨

I feel like chain grocery stores have stopped trying to be subtle about their deceptive pricing...

last week's playdate parent saw my acrylic standee and said “that's Gundam!” I'm like ah, um yes I was a huge fan years ago 💦 today's playdate parent shared they named their kid Levi bc they love AoT, and asked if we named ours after resident evil... my kid & his best friends all have nerd parents 😂

honestly my last attempt at drawing a kiss was maybe 2009 and it was printed in an anthology that ppl paid money for and I will absolutely die from cringe if I look at it 🫣

I have no idea what I’m doing... 🤡

it's been an interesting Christmas. storm knocked out our power since yesterday, but the important stuff is covered—everyone’s warm, fed, happy & healthy 🙏✨

pre-holiday work rush, prep, illness, everything has been a lot. anxiety finally letting up. remember to be kind to yourselves 🫶

child presenting me with a fat shard of broken glass was NOT how I wanted to start my morning aaaaaaaaaa 😱 seems we’re still a few years out from glass tree ornaments...

practice rkgk #tgcf

seeing the share your workspace posts, I feel like I’m in the minority who still uses a pen tablet. I tried a display tablet a long time ago but couldn’t get used to it… maybe I'll give it another try sometime. lately I just want to try drawing in bed lol

rough weekend. kid came down with HFMD so his highly anticipated birthday party got cancelled, plus missing a school field trip today. he's devastated 💔

tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids... Bluey was #1 last year so I'm slowly taking my account back 😎

me last month trying buldak carbonara for the first time w/75% spicy packet: holyfucking hellfire ow ow ow but I can’t stop me today trying buldak carbonara w/40% spicy packet: holyfuckinghellf- I don’t know how to resolve this because the pain is the flavor 😭 low spice tolerance woes.

Crimson Rain mini tree to welcome December 🦋🎄

after having stable vision for years, optometrist said my eyes got worse and as much as I hate to admit it, I had it coming for staying up reading shit like ao3 on my phone in the dark for hours instead of going to sleep 🫠

afternoon tea date ☕

starting the week off with retail therapy ✨

this crumbling body can't handle all nighters anymore but the work is submitted. finally a small window of free time. augh I'm so burnt out

gotta say, it's been pretty eye opening...

aaand 3 months later, I found the ABO Desire cdrama on viki and I just paid for a sub to keep watching 🤣🤣🤣 meanwhile husband sending me msgs like this

nyehehe deco’d some pumpkins for halloween 🎃 (...hualianween?) #tgcf

The meaning of the term threenager has truly dawned on me and now I feel weariness deep in my bones

Until I found TGCF I hadn't drawn in many years due to life/mental health/anxiety, so I’m insecure about my work and posting is scary. I'm a lurker and not great with words, but finding a fandom full of so much love and creativity has been so encouraging for me to keep trying. ❤️

friday lunch date 🌸

since I started drawing again I feel like my approach to art is akin to polishing a turd. I rework it and rework it until it is shiny but deep down I know it's still a turd. 💩✨

our local food festival has tanghulu! 😍

Huahua got a taste of gege’s mooncake :d Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🥮 中秋节快乐！ #TGCF #天官赐福 #花怜 #hualian

I'm so weak I couldn’t even stand back up from xie bu (cross stance) without using my arms, but this week I could…! wow improvement *^*

today's covid/flu shot "is one in each arm ok?" "can I get both in my left?" "well, we do recommend one in each arm..." "I need my right arm for work" by work I may have meant fanart :) jk I really do need my arm for work. I'm so slammed 😣

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

I’m so tired of seeing people reply to stories about these tos censorships with “guess I’ll start pirating again.” Good luck pirating content that doesn’t exist because the artists and creators had to quit and find other work.

Hualian overrides all of my personal tastes - I’ve never been into younger 攻/older 受, long haired guys, man buns, or BL in general since my teens? and yet here I am head over heels. Hualian is simply too powerful... I must be crazy

wooowwwww Lady M's mooncake box is a lantern and it turns!!! 🤯 this is definitely not about mooncake anymore hahaha yes I totally bought it 🥲

Modern AU corporate Hualian. Gege is the boss.  #TGCF #天官赐福 #花怜 #hualian

friday lunch date✨

it's almost that time of year again🥮🐰 aaah I am so weak to nice packaging design, I love seeing the new ones each year... Hong Kong MX mooncake art is always so gorgeous! but $69.99 for a box of 8 is too rich for my blood :x

finished my first HuaLian art ✨🦋🌸 I hope I can draw many more… I can't stop thinking about them😭 #TGCF #天官赐福 #花怜 #hualian

"I...admire San Lang very much, so I want to understand your everything."  WIP I think? Had this image in my head for awhile, always imagined Huahua hiding scars under there. #TGCF #天官赐福 #花怜 #hualian

I got my ass handed to me🫠 most certainly gonna feel this tomorrow...but I didn't break anything or throw out my back so that's a win lol overall was good, hopefully I can start working towards some fitness goals.

my kid likes to pick and eat only the cookie crust off her bo lo bao and then will just leave the rest and sigh why do I even bother buying them... 💢

weekend recharge🔥

been meaning to be less sedentary for years, so I signed up for a kung fu class trial next week. it's been a hot minute since I did any martial arts so this might go really poorly!✌️

finished my first HuaLian art ✨🦋🌸 I hope I can draw many more… I can't stop thinking about them😭 #TGCF #天官赐福 #花怜 #hualian

yaaayyy my merch order arrived!! going to bling out my bag with so much Huahua🌸 the earrings might be a tad flashy for everyday wear but still nice. I'm feeling more than a little smug that the HC bracelet matches my watch ;3 alright nerd jewelry let's gooo #TGCF

my 3 yr old insists peaches are called pao zi instead of tao zi despite weeks of corrections, and you know what this is fine... so long as she eats it she can call it whatever tf she wants.

it's gonna be a horrible day work wise, so sharing some Yoko Kanno energy to get through the morning. This song she made for Expo Osaka slaps open.spotify.com/track/1GcdBw...

having not been into BL since my teens, I only recently discovered what omegaverse is through fanfiction, bless my normie heart hahaha I was definitely like GOD WHAT AM I READING 😂
