Mostly away this week, then the writing shall resume

Decided to set up a Bluesky account for uw art and stuff, i dunno #aquaphilia #nsfw

The next pair of stories (a different collab/request set) is in the works. Slowly but surely.

Dungeons n' Bellezas: The Dungeon Experience, is now fully out on AO3 and Pixiv! It has art I won't post anywhere else that I'd like to consider some of my best work - so please go check it out, me and WaterSpirit worked on this for a while! The links are on the quoted post or on the replies!

The last chapter of the first (of many) collaborations with @emiliathelurker.bsky.social is now complete! The AO3 version is the nicer of the two for formatting: archiveofourown.org/works/67972596 Pixiv version (will eventually format/insert the art there as well):

I probably shared this concept sometime ago, but Potion of Water Breathing * Prevents ability to breathe air ** Does not have a grace period to ease the switch from water-breathing back to air-breathing when it runs out

*uncurls from ball form* May has arrived, the time crunch is over for a little bit. Perhaps the writing resumes this weekend and in the coming week.

Another story was launched my way recently as a lil’ writing collab. I can only hint one word as to its content for now… Shaire.

I remember scrolling past a cute scene awhile ago sooo I picked up the pen again, image wont get out of my head😵‍💫 lets see how much skill I lost already anddddd quite a bit😄 dont expect too much of this tho!! I just dont have as much time as I did before to do mmd and drawing❤️

New short written story (or at least a Concept of a Plan for one) is now in the works. Soon ™️

Started an Archipelago run of the classic Oracle games just for fun, and the randomizer’s first items for OOA were back to back flipper upgrades. Somehow the RNG itself is sending subliminal aquatic messages 🫧🫧

Quick rant: I just rediscovered the ‘Hibernate’ feature on Windows. It is quite relieving to push the power button and have the apps/windows I needed for productivity RIGHT THERE once I get back to the [precise nature is redacted to avoid doxxing myself] work.

[COMM] How many people have to be competing on a breath hold contest before it stops being a contest? With this many it's looking like a full on breath holding tournament tbh, a very hairy one too

Am back. That first week and a half of February tend to be a rough time with much tendency to simply curl into a ball. (Tldr highly unpleasant memories that most often rear their head around that week. A few friends know some details). Coupled with the uporar last week, I took a brief hiatus.

My brain when a watery story idea comes up, except it’s more of a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ sort of thing that would require me to dive (hehe) into a couple HTML rabbit holes to have a chance of making it work right…

Have you also heard that the first post of yours that gets quote-reposted is critical? … ope

The good news: I found the notes that were going to turn into January’s written work. The bad news: the month has two days left, so it’ll happen sometime next month.

Alice Commission Work

Out of town until the weekend, maybe getting back to some writing after though

Maybe I’ll aim for at least one new story a month this year. Will see how that idea goes 🫧

Part 2 of Dungeons n’ Bellezas is OUT!!! Go read it, I drew pics for it (my last drawing of the year is within it…! and it’s not this embedded one! go and read NOOOW!!!)

Part 2 of an ongoing collab with @emiliathelurker.bsky.social just dropped! (Link starts from Chapter 1, but Chapter 2 is the new stuff) archiveofourown.org/works/67972596

Soon ™️

Welp, I’ve set a deadline to have this batch of work pretty much finished by Friday. Will likely curl into a ball over the weekend, but it will make the lead-up to the real thing in the next week easier

Three days, then I get some breathing room again. With luck (and coffee…), I may manage to condense it down to mostly two instead.

Roughly 3 days until the intense month starts.

The chaotic month begins in a week (possibly less, TBD). The time to curl into a ball, in that case, is now.

Old piece that I still love... Honestly might be one of the best concepts I had for an aquaphilia drawing. Top that off with elements of the game the characters are from that fit in well and you get this.

Reposting for visibility in the aquatic community: an excellent writer who is a friend of mine is looking for commissions.

A precursor email to the two potentially chaotic weeks for work has arrived, though those weeks haven’t started JUST yet. Am unclear what exactly those weeks entail until the actual email arrived. Will be okay, even if my brain will be a bit of an omelet on the other side of it all.

Probably a mix of the gray weather and my brain’s tendendy to *look* for something to worry about during a longer lull in the workload (in which I have plenty right there). Will be okay, but probably curling up into a ball for a little while (hopefully the coffee is a boost)

Dungeons and Bellezas: The GnB Dungeon Experience Part 1 - is FINALLY, AFTER SO LONG, OUT!!! GO READ IT ON AO3 TO GET CONTEXT FOR THE PICS!!! TRUST ME IT'S A GOOD READ!!! (It's also in the comments just for safe measure!)

Finally ending a LONG hiatus from original writing with the first part of an ongoing collaboration with @emiliathelurker.bsky.social Does Belle (OC) have what it takes to navigate a submerged ruin? (Y’all better… SEA for yourselves…) archiveofourown.org/works/67972596

Soon ™️

Busy part of the week is done, and last weekend was surprisingly tiring. The time has come to curl up into a ball. With coffee

Almost entirely off the grid this weekend. But I shall return (hopefully with the first chapter of an upcoming story collab) before long.

Air is a mess today, maybe that’s why this headache is being persistent. Might need to curl up into a ball for a bit

The productivity of the week is done. Might spend the better part of tomorrow curled up into a ball, but rest approaches.

Got a fair bit of important stuff done this morning, at least. Brain hasn’t wanted to brain as much today. Maybe tonight there won’t be as much noise, because sleep is important ._.

Past two days have been a nice (and much needed) win over impostor syndrome. Hopefully this streak keeps up.

That meme of Squidward holding up some paper, looking exhausted. That’s me right about now. But… freedom. 🔥🔥

One more day of this. Then freedom (or at least a fair bit of it for awhile)

Just sent an email that sets a very time crunch-y deadline for a major work thing at “sometime before the end of this Tuesday”. The gauntlet has been thrown down, but I’ll be able to return to the water a bit more once this has subsided. 🔥☕️

And so the car becomes even more of a headache than it was ._.

Powered through some early productivity. *Initiates post-productivity ‘curl into a ball’ recovery phase* More water stuff hopefully coming soon- it’s been a bit!

That was definitely a week. After today’s drive I will have returned

Will likely poof from existence/visibility for much of the upcoming week, but shall return. Things are going to be on the busy/exhausting side.

Oh boy, another round of possible storms today. I know I’m a water enjoyer, that doesn’t mean I want sheets of it falling out of the sky… right?

Flash flooding out there today. I know I’m a water enjoyer, but *oof*
