Hah... I tried to draw and boy did it go poorly! I think trying on physical paper may prove better, it usually helps.

Tried making apple cobbler for the first time today! Definitely a recipe where you need to trust the process haha. No butter and one egg kinda psyched me out, but it turned out GOOD.

For a variety of reasons, we are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow (I'm the only one in this household that is American, and by God I will treat them to some food). We just did the prep for my family's tradition of crock pot roast. Oh boy THE ONIONS. My eyes. They burn.

Ich gehe jetzt zu einer C1 Unterricht! Bald, kann ich Deutsch fliesendlich sprechen. >:D Dann mache ich mein Hochshulabschluss. Auch, diese Pause von den sozialen Medien war sehr schön. :D

Dude, what is up with people today? I got elbowed (he went out of his way to do it) and clapped at (while wearing headphones and reading a book; I ignored him) in public today. Go back to kindergarten! Learn how to play with others! >:U

I'm making good on my threat. This is Chithae, where Ocha and the chitun originate. Most of their plantlife was purple before most of it got corrupted. #art

Expect planet maps soon, I found a cheap and easy way to make them.

So German prepositions finally broke me.

hello everyone! a new collection of items is now available at corru.store, along with all our older stuff! the big special item this time is a pre-order for a custom-made silver fairy charm! check it out! also features collab items with @rainbowcutieo3o.bsky.social and @metaphorical.monster!!

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole moving to another country and learning a new language thing! Honestly kinda surprised it took this long to hit, but also not that surprised. I tend to work on an emotional delay. Yeah I know that's probably not healthy. But like my emotions: problem for later.

bright armaments have proven novel and effective in equal measure #corru #corru.observer

Two days into the new German course. HOLY fuck it's like night and day. So much more organized, much better quality lessons, using better books, assigning a REASONABLE amount of homework. I am fucking relieved. C1 German here I come.

I saw the word "rude" censored recently, like so: r*de Hey, uh, what the fuck?

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Tylenol? Fucking Tylenol? God...

Y'know... I'm going into computer science. Wouldn't hurt to make and maintain my own site. I have heard domains can be a bit expensive though.

So... what'd I miss? Something major, apparently.

Still worldbuilding behind the scenes. I have a much better grasp on the magic system now that I've let it marinate for a moment.

I was a teen. We were almost homeless from that crash. Hell, I think living out of a motel for two weeks IS homeless. We went from upper middle class to below the poverty line. The 2008 recession WAS that bad.

Fun fact, if you don't react to bug bites in North America, you might react BADLY to bug bites in Europe. I T C H Y

WIP base I'm doing in survival mode. I have access to commands, but it's just not as rewarding for me to build in creative. The most I've been doing is setting the time to day because it's a server without any plugins.

Minecraft has me in a chokehold. (but also I think I needed a creative outlet, my base is kinda going hard)

Going low social media for the time being. It's kinda nice actually.

Well, I didn't get to one of the ArtFight revenges I wanted to, but remember! You can always attack them next year. Hopefully life will be a little less crazy for me next summer haha.

I think I've only really got spoons for revenge this year in ArtFight. *cracks knuckles*

Got a few irons out of the fire. Kinda weird applying for university again, but hey, never too late to get that degree you've always wanted! I have always found the university application process to be incredibly strange. The process is only stranger when you're applying as a foreigner.

I build up muscle tone pretty quickly! However, I am very bad about remembering to work out regularly unless it's interesting exercise, and the interesting stuff is expensive. Might get back into rock climbing one day. Or martial arts. I need money for those.

DEUTSCHE BÜROKRATIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I Am Hero was amazing, and it deserves the high rating. It’s the only one I have seen of these, so might have to check the others out.

I finally have enough characters up to fill the card out! Come and get my ass. #artfight2025 #art artfight.net/~Nickalart

German summer got hands. Also not helped by the fact that AC is rare (it's really not needed to be fair), and I have to WALK PLACES IN A CITY. Cities really suck to be in in the heat haha.

Redesigned an old robot character! His arms are inspired by a plastic watch from the 2000s.

Well. That's some news to wake up to. Cool. Didn't we do this one already? It didn’t go well if I recall.

This is a character from a Soulbound one-shot named Neps. He's a Sylvaneth. Specifically, he's a Spite Revenant, but I don't think everyone on the team caught on to that because I went very off-model. #art #Soulbound

What's wrong, artist? Feeling bored? Things just a liiiittle too peaceful for your ocs? Well fear not, for the NEW and Improved(?) Perilous Meme is here! Grab your favorite characters, and let's put them in some Situations! Transparent, full-size version linked below! #artmeme #ocmeme #ocs #oc

Ah yes. Programming. AKA "Why the fuck isn't this working??? Goddamnit I forgot a :" Anyway, doing a silly little creative thing.

Really starting to feel the car-dependent infrastructure catch up with me now that I have access to public transport (and I have to power walk to catch my train). OW MY LEGS.

Eugh, so I was trying to engage more actively online. And that just ended up making me feel very anxious that I've done or said something wrong, but like, 10 times over. And yeah, I probably fucked up a little. Tone is notoriously ambiguous in text. Gotta. Not get hung up so much on gaffes.

Combo worldbuilder with a dash of parent lol. I like context for my character(s), but I don't really care for working in established IPs. No disrespect for people who do, just really not my thing.

I need more cardio. I had to RUN to catch my train and now I have a cough. Eugh. But! I did catch it. I wasn't sure I would. It was relatively on time, even. Only a minute late.

Ocha’s name isn't a name - in her language, it means nameless. cha= name / o- prefix = without (I make conlangs)

Once you move out on your own, fuck convention or tradition, make your space work for YOU. Want a hammock instead of a bed? Go for it. Ball pit instead of a piece of furniture? Do it! Mural on a wall? Yes! Your space is YOURS. Claim it!

Ocha can be scary if she wants to. The possession only gave her malicious intent, no other special abilities. :) I went a little overboard with this one, as I should when the desire strikes me. #art #meme #expressionmeme

You know that anger expressions meme going around? Yeah, it’s fun. :)

OC lore train! Explain your OC's lore in the shittiest way possible. Pacifist bug alien is avoiding her responsibilities, but has Catholic guilt about it. #OCSky #art

It is my sacred duty to be cringe now that I am very solidly an adult. But I've never been cool anyway so I am very practiced. :) Anyway who CARES??? Just do what makes you happy, and if someone is mean about it fuck 'em.

Forcing myself to sketch again and having fun! Not liking everything that's coming out, but that is why we sketch.

Eugh I hate when my social anxiety flares up. I think I need to touch grass (go for a stupid walk for my stupid mental health) soon. That usually helps reset my head.

One from the archives - this is from when I really truly believed I had a shot at creating a book about bugs. It's still an ambition, albeit one that's gradually eroding.
