2026 goal: working on a story involving a tiny magic robot. Eager to share more, eventually!

2025 had so many highs, but also many lows. I've made a lot of big changes this year, with more to come. I'm really looking forward to 2026, where I can make art without worries, value people who truly care about me, and work on myself. Hope everyone has excellent holidays and a happy new year!

I have chosen to resign and this week is my last week at Electronic Arts. There is currently no 'next' lined up. I'm taking some time, both to recover from stress and burnout, but also to find some passion again to work on some of my own projects.

Finished Stray Children. Despite times I found it frustrating and obtuse, I respect so much of what it set out to do. It is so intentional in how it is designed, and how it makes you find empathy even when every force acts against you. May the world become a kinder place.

and its not just that i hate the slop. i hate what all this shit is doing to us. im going into every game assuming guilt until proven otherwise, and thats a) exhausting and b) not fun at all!

A review is an op-ed by definition. You’re just upset at the criteria being used.

We also made sure to pick up something related to his namesake.

Honeymoon in Japan! Had an amazing couple of weeks exploring and taking photos, my husband driving around Lake Ashi, riding the Shinkansen, eating a ton of good food, capsule machines, and drinking so much canned coffee.

I talked myself out of it, but…

Ugh, a TON of really good comics this year - I wound up buying 10 of them! And I really had to trim it!! Check it out!

Masahiro Sakurai is all of us.

It’s SO good. So good. I definitely didn’t cry during Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

Omg I also forgot IT'S HEERO'S GOTCHA DAY. Here he was six years ago! Such a little burnt potato...

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

All tucked in.

I bought a Supernote! I’m still getting used to it, but I got the Nomad and the size works perfectly for me. I think it’s going to be really fun sketching with this!

It's Heero's sixth birthday today! Here are some of my favourite shots I've taken of him over the years. He is a stubborn punk, but we love him dearly.

also I will say: as someone who has been suffering severe depression for months now, Endwalker’s message of finding joy and continuing on, even among the pain and and sorrow, was very meaningful to me.

Finished FFXIV Endwalker tonight... I got me very emotional at moments, and now I'll never be able to listen to Close in the Distance again without crying a ton. I've really loved my time with this game.

I can't believe FFXIV might be my second-favourite Final Fantasy? I mean nothing can beat out my love for FFX but FFXIV has blown me away in so many factors. I can't believe I waited this long to play this.

Shadowbringers!! Wow!! Whoa!!

Finished Stormblood… a story of revolution and fighting against tyranny, even amongst the afraid and unwilling, hits pretty strongly right now.

Post-Heavensward done... my heart is heavy moving onto Stormblood! I'm also sad to leave Heavensward/Dragonsong. What a good set of stuff

Heero enjoying the snow.

Heero adores the snow! It was hard moving to a place that only gets one snowfall a year, but it makes it so exciting when it happens.

Finished FFXIV’s Heavensward. I can’t believe how long I’ve sit on such an amazing game. What an excellent experience.

OH!! My first time getting this warning hehe

Finished up FFXIV’s A Realm Reborn tonight… I get the appeal of these games now. Am looking forward to the rest of the expansions!

I love GDQ. What a force of good in this world. I love this event, and it's why I post so much during it. It's for such a great cause and there's always so much fun and excitement. This year was exceptional. Can't wait for SGDQ~

Heero got one of his Christmas gifts early.

You have to be your own biggest fan of your work. You should celebrate it. Sometimes it's so hard to do, but if you can't celebrate your own work, it'll be hard pressed to get anyone else to.

A doodle and a sleepy Heero.

the really important thing about resisting automatically generated stat sheets that services give you is that numbers mean nothing without ~why~. exercise learning to talk about music & why you like it, not just "because i listened to it a lot" or "it's peak". these are skills you can develop!!

Every year, Spotify Wrapped becomes something that feels actively hostile to the enjoyment of music, now with more blatant data mining to train AI. which is bad enough, but also remember that Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is a primary investor in an AI predator drone company
