In true sibling fashion, my sister got me the bellzi ankylosaurus plushie because she knows I like dinos and ankylosarus was my childhood favorite one, and I'm over here checking the squishable new releases for the oarfish because my sister hates oarfish and I need to get her the plushie version.

Pulling refs from the trailer for Leda. (I'm altering her design if I end up cosplaying her)

Man this nintendo direct is really giving me games to play in the future, haha.

Wanted to start working on my Estelle cosplay but looking through my stash fabric I realized the red I had is a satin. With Estelle's character, I think her outfit would be more cotton/twill(something in that category) than a satin. *sigh* Ah well, guess that's not happening today.

I was slowly working on fics for a character week and it just hit me that the character week is in June. I literally have less than 2 weeks to get all these fics done.

Was checking my bank account and noticed I got another payout from my book? 😭 Despite me not really promoting it, I'm still getting some money from it.

Just got a surprise couple hundred dollar dental bill, so any purchases or shares would be extremely appreciated! I'm also open for commissions, the form is on my carrd (link in bio) ko-fi.com/yowa2858/shop

I was going through my floss for a new embriodery project and I was reminded of my bin with JUST green floss from Rukkhadevata. I really need to make a project or two that requires green floss just to go through some of this.

Started working on fics for a character's week and man, these fics just FLOW with ease. 😅 Clearly this duo is STILL my thing.

I had to double check that I was on the ENG server and I am so uh...this is a problem.

Ended up writing a one-shot for a different fandom and there was no struggle so clearly this long fic is in the state of, "I just don't have interest in writing for this anymore" ughhh. This is why usually these fics I write for post game are on the shortet side 😅

Got back home from a con/trip to a mall and it was only for a few hours but my legs hurt so much. 😭. I really need to be more proactive on using my knee brace.

The tattoo artist I used for all my tattoos is finally doing tattoo work again 😭😭😭. I can finally get the few tattoos I've been waiting on.

Hit the point in this longfic I'm just not feeling it. 😭😭 Ugh, I don’t want to abandon this work but maybe I gotta slow down my updates a bit to give me more time to stay ahead in the chapters.

Finished the Xinyan embriodery I've been working on for the past couple of months! #genshinimpact

Successfully got my yearly alphonso mango purchase! (These are pretty expensive for a whole box, around $50 so it's a once a year sort of deal lol). Also regular mangoes cause can't stop won't stop consuming mangoes lol

My makeship Story of Seasons bubble cow came in and she so rounddddd.

I started this 10" hoop of Knives after watching the first episode of Trigun Stargaze. I've had to take breaks, but it's finally done, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! Avaliable for sale on my ko-fi! Detail photos below. #embroidery #Trigun

Hit 20k in the fic I'm working on and had the realization this is going to actually be a long fic now as the plot hasn't really gone anywhere yet and there's so much that needs to be resolved. 😭😭 I don't know if I have long fic energy for this fic.

The 1.07 update for Code Vein 2 was such a blessing. 😭😭. I was able to get the plat since I can see affinity meters now(Lyle literally just needed 2 presents to max out). I technically need to get like 5 uncanny stones to finish off Jagwida's quest for me to be DONE DONE but ehhh

Cut a wig today and literally had a, "how does one cut a wig" moment, haha. It's been so long since I did any kind of wig styling.

Bond CE 77! The grand servant battles great for getting bond points, haha.

It's that time of year again, gotta vote for We are dinos like always.

*long sigh* I spent so long grinding out crystals for the dang ticket.

I finished writing the first draft for the scenes I've been planning since I started this fic(yay!). I didn't really plan anything after it though(oh no!) and unfortunately this is a long fic with so many things that need to be resolved so uhhh yeah.

Working on saving the heroes in Code Vein 2 and I'm on Lyle.

Playing Code Vein 2 and getting the lost blood codes I missed and uhhh whenever I add Lyle to my party he goes goth? Like when he's standing around his colors are right but when I put him as my partner....yeah

I have finally gotten to the point in the fic where I have the scene before the BIG scene to write. I am almost there to the scene I've been wanting to write since I started this fic! Just took like 12k to get there.

Did Holly's first fight in CV2 and the redemption of this fight was great. This was the WORST fight for me in playthrough 1. I barely struggled this time around. (Bless the panacea forma)

Part 2 of the otome haul came in today. The only one I'm missing now is Battlefield Waltz(sold out on the site so I need to get that one second hand).

Started to fall behind a bit on keeping up with physical otomes releases so I bought a bunch I was missing and 3 of them came in today! (I do not want to think about my backlog lol)

Spent the few hours of free time I had at work working on this crossover fic and the amount of stuff I wrote and then crossed out. 😅(I write by hand in a notebook). This ended up being a way hardee fic to write than I expected. And I'm still working on my other long CV2 fic too.

My players confirmed for dnd this weekend(two games in a month? A miracle). I can hit them with the big twist this session! (And then after dropping it be like, "so we can pick up next time and you guys level up" and flee the scene xD

So my internet isn't working right now. When I was leaving for work this morning I saw the internet people messing with the outside wires so clearly they messed up something that it's affecting my internet.

Wrote about 1k of a new fic idea and decided it would be best to scrape it all and rewrite it. I wasn't happy with the direction it was going and the plot progression so ughhhh.

Got to the Josee introduction for CV2 and man, this scene is so annoying and makes zero sense outside of fanservice. There is no way the protagonist who is a trained professional would fall for this nonsense.

Ended up splurging and getting a bunch of otomes as I realized I had fallen behind on buying them. 😅 my backlog is going to be even worse now. (Please help I still have 3 and a half routes left for 9RIP)

Started my second playthrough of Code Vein 2 and decided to play it in Japanese too just to hear it. Let's see how bad I do for round 2 of this game...

Oh dang, finally got my first copy of THE card. Still will borrow other people's maxed out version of this card though lol.

Fate/Extra Record has been delayed indefinitely from its spring 2026 date. After discussing with Type-Moon, Bandai Namco will no longer be publisher as changes to the development process will be made. More information will be announced at a later time. typemoon.com/news/2026/oM...

Fate/Extra Record is getting delayed again. I'm never getting this game at this rate. 😭😭😭😭

Alright, finished my Code Vein 1 replay and damn, it was so much better than CV2 in terms of gameplay/combat.

Currently writing a multi-chapter fic and have this whole scene planned out but of course it's far away from where I am writing wise in the story and I refuse to write out of order so I guess I'll suffer my way until I get there.

Also fun thing from my dnd game today but I gave my players a super OP weapon, like +12 to hit, 8d10 damage upon hit with ridiculous range. The catch? Everytime it is used it takes 10HP off the person's HP maximum that cannot be restored by any means.

Had DnD today and went with my original plan for the plot as my players made half of the session a shopping episode 😭😭 I had hope at first they would get on track but after an hour of them wandering around I knew I had to stick with my og plan.

Having feels for Code Vein 1 after going through 2 so decided to replay it again. Bless the game for giving me the tutorial right away as there are differences in controls between this and 2.

Finally got around to starting Reverse 1999's newest story chapter and man, I don’t know if it's because there's SO MANY factions now but I'm struggling to really engage in this chapter all together.

Finished my notes for this Sunday's dnd game and it's probably more than what my players will get through but I REALLY hope they can get through it all because dropping a huge reveal and then being like, "Oh we'll stop there for today" would be so good to see the choas that will ensue.

Decided to write a post game(after ending 3) Code Vein 2 fic and the amount of world building I have to throw in as I write 😭😭
