We're playing Hues and Cues, a guessing game of colors. Very appropriate for the Niji family, don't you think?

クリスマスにはケンタッキー！ (Kurisumasu ni wa Kentakkii!) Kentucky for Christmas!

Last night I made the Black Sesame and Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats and the Simple Shortbread with Miso from Kat Lieu's 108 Asian Cookies! They're delicious!

I really wanted to finish this WIP drawing, which still needs some changes. Here I am with my favorite Strat (yes, I'm short!). I've dubbed her "The Emerald Weapon." She's a Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '59 Stratocaster (New Old Stock) in Sherwood Green Metallic. Isn't she gorgeous?

OMG! Somebody just brought me a flaky, buttery, crispy, tender, chocolatey pain au chocolat!

Messing around with Picrew again ( picrew.me/en/image_mak... )

Cinnamon-vanilla candied almonds! So delicious around the winter holidays! And they're easy enough to make that I can whip up a batch with no problems! More of a process than a recipe. If you put in too much sugar, you'll end up with spiced sugar left over in the pan for coffee or other uses!

So, I visit Detroit from time to time, and people ask me if I prefer American Coney Island or Lafayette Coney Island. I've never been to either! The next time I'm in town, which one should I visit?

But I have to say, I'm kinda fascinated by the emergence of what's indisputably a "gen AI style." It's almost identical to the second-most abstracted face in @scottmccloud.bsky.social's degrees-of-cartooning line-up in Understanding Comics. Blank. Vague. Bland. Just sauceless. Dot-eyed voids.

It's my sister Orenji, getting into the Halloween spirit!

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

Why do I have this sudden craving for Costco cookies?

We made it! We made it! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! #RockAndRollHallOfFame #Cleveland #Ohio

EPIC TACOS! Agave & Rye, 6th and W. St. Clair. Everything on the menu looked amazing! It was so hard to choose! #Cleveland #Ohio #Tacos

Busy weekend in Cleveland! But let me catch up with some photos. We're staying at Roost in The May downtown. Very convenient location! And it's an apartment hotel. #Cleveland #Ohio #Roost

So, there was this really old show called "The Drew Carey Show" that used the song as an intro. We're basing some of the choreography on that because our manager says some of the fans might recognize it.

I'm excited about our Cleveland shows this weekend! We're going to open with a cover of "Cleveland Rocks"! ...and if time allows, a trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! I post pictures! #ClevelandRocks #Ohio

Damn! Those look amazing! I miss you! And not just because of your cooking!

I was listening to some songs from Final Fantasy XIII because I just LOVE the way they worked the electric violin into the score. Then I ran across this. Worth a listen! #Consouls #FFXIII #FinalFantasy youtu.be/RDL1qlpFoZ8?...

Here's my little sister Akane, describing in...very specific...detail her fan theories about "KPop Demon Hunters."

Here's a repost, but it seems appropriate. I've been feeling REALLY powerless lately, and I don't know what else to do but let people see this. I just hope my song inspires courage in at least one person.... #EchoesOfHope #MyMusic

Ha ha! That is such a trip knowing that they'd be that much older than I am!

People have been asking about the cute ring I've been wearing lately. It's sterling silver with an oval bezel setting holding what I think is a green tourmaline. I can't imagine it's an emerald. A fan sent it to me back on March 13th. There's a story behind that....

My mother and father wanted to take some good photos of my siblings Haiiro and Mizuiro in their fourth-year uniforms while they were home for Labor Day weekend. Murasaki decided to get in there, photobomb them, and complete the triplet set! So I had to draw it. #siblings #DigitalArt

We went to Condita, a Michelin-star restaurant in Edinburgh, for dinner. The "menus" at our place settings were basically just hints of what they would serve us. #Condita #Edinburgh #Scotland (@chefericfeltman.bsky.social @murasakiniji.bsky.social: 10 posts of pictures/descriptions incoming!)

✨Yo fam! It's your girl Midori here!✨ Welcome, new followers! And thanks to @iquitcigs.bsky.social and everybody else for boosting me! 💜💙💚💛🧡 I'm in a posty mood today, so expect a couple of drawings and some pictures of a wonderful gourmet meal at Condita in Edinburgh. I love you all!

Artists! QRP with your OC in different outfits! (I can be my own OC, right?)

Oh, yeah! The Glasgow concerts! So, we had everything in place to do our covers of Soda Pop and Golden (to be fair, who isn't doing KDH covers?), and we were approved for a last-minute lyric change from "soda pop" to "Irn-Bru"! The crowd loved it! #KpopDemonHunters #kdh #Huntrix #SajaBoys

We were listening to the Misfits earlier, so here's a drawing of Pinku in her Misfits T-shirt (posted with her permission)! She's the youngest of my siblings, the last one born of the young quadruplets. #sisters #misfits

I'm taking the opportunity to spend some time with my little siblings before they start their senior year of high school next week. Pinku and I are listening to some Misfits in the background. #music #vinyl #Misfits youtu.be/lgSLz5FeXUg?...

I'm slowly getting stuff sorted from my vacation. Here's a drawing I did of myself with my new Black Watch mini kilt skirt I bought in Edinburgh! Black Watch tartan is suitable for anybody regardless of clan or Scottish blood. #BlackWatch #Scotland #Edinburgh #DigitalArt

Auntie Ume has plans, and my parents have some event tonight, so I'm "in charge"! LOL! I ordered us pizzas, garlic knots, and salad from Mimi's Pizza on 86th St. "The kids" have been playing this game called Pathfinder all day, so they said that would be the perfect meal to go with it.

It is SO quiet at home today! My elder siblings are all off at university. Mama and Papa are off at work. Auntie Ume is out shopping. My younger siblings are...well, probably TOO quiet right now.... But it's nice to be able to unwind from the vacation and concerts and get things done.

Oooh, jet lag! But I woke up on my own at 7:00 AM, so maybe it won't be so bad. I need coffee and pancakes! Stat!

Foxes again!

TARDIS! #DoctorWho #Glasgow #Scotland

Again with the foxes! #fox #Fwokx #Glasgow #Scotland

Bus tour! Here's our venue for the weekend: OVO Hydro. #Glasgow #Scotland

Need...coffee....
