Is it bad that I laughed at this part? Definitely yes. But Rover is savage and that line surprised me. 😂

Hoyo does often have good cinematic scenes and trailers…however, when you’re playing the game itself, a good portion of it is characters cycling through 3~4-ish expressions and poses as well. …I still remember Castorice’s wide eye stare in scenes where it was either heartfelt or emotional. 😂

Deleted things in media and bsky glitched up and down motions in mobile app after several deleted post…kind of weird, but X also literally has similar problems when you delete stuff with photos, takes a few refreshes before it reflects that you’ve deleted posts.

Genshin's fandom is interesting. You have people still calling for a boycott, then people still dissatisfied and complaining about Sandrone's new design, and then you also have those who hate the way the new story for Sumeru+Dottore went. Hearing videos about these, my 9-6 feels a bit interesting.

Forgot you can't swim in Endfield... and I've fallen off the edge 5 times because I stopped way too slowly after running, or jumped straight into it because I didn't notice the water. I hope Endfield isn't tallying the number of times their players fell into the water. 😆

I'm still in the process of consideration. But for this, I won't make reassurance. Just looking at WuWa from the side, I don't see it as a friendly place for GL fan content.

Might be inconsequential, but I love that minor detail on Denia's clothes where that pink coat is strapped to her white dress. It's a minor detail, but it answers whether her clothes are pieced together or not. Not like, hm...Jean's mantle, idk how she kept it on her shoulder, the power of Anemo?

I was supposed to play a bit of Endfield tonight, but Error Code 11000. I'll just troubleshoot tomorrow. Guess it's...WuWa, and I'm outside the Fiscalia ground. Guess I'll do the main story, I've been stallin'.🫠

Now’s actually a good time to be a consumer of fanart for Sandbina because everyone is rushing to make content for Sandrone, whether its because of hype or following the trends for that juicy big RT and like count (plus the reach). Also means I can just not do anything for probably 2.5~3 months.

35 degrees Celcius heat but I'm here sipping my sugarless coffee...but this coffee is my reward for today's work. It's (utterly) hot but it's fine (I cope). 🥲

Oh, they released Sandrone marketing now. That dress length will really stay, which also means everyone will just have to accept it as what it is. That windup key though, I think it's more of an accessory than something bolted onto her unlike her old body.

I promised myself way back that I'd never touch (aka draw) WW GL, and I've held on, but I wonder...huh, maybe I should be using Poipiku for something other than nsfw.

😶

The numbness of my right arm hasn’t faded completely but at least it hasn’t gotten worse. Small blessings, since I only use it for work. But I’ve neglected drawing, I miss the mindless sketching at least. Maybe I should become left handed? 😂

Really wished they gave Sandrone sharper facial features, her face seems more rounder than the old design. Reason? They used a sharper contrasting red-black-white for her clothing palette, it would be nice if they kept that feeling with the facial features too instead of a baby face.

I'm really starting to wonder if cloth is an expensive material in Teyvat because characters' clothes are getting shorter and fewer. I prefer the length of Sandrone's old design; she didn't need to have her new skirt that short, but, fanservice, I suppose. Sure.

I saw Sandrone, all I can say is.…..wow that’s a pain to draw if I draw it several times in a panel.

I still can't break out feeling disappointed when I can't flesh out a rough draft with a somewhat coherent idea in clean sketch within an hour. It always felt like I'm slow and failing.

🦐

Hm, so some people thought Lucillius was a plagiarized version of Phainon? GBF has been around for longer than HSR...ngl, I thought Phainon's other form was referenced from FGO Karna when they first unveiled the Khaslana form lol

Whenever a new drama related to a Hoyoverse game pops up, I just end up thinking how it's another popcorn moment. Since I've quit playing all Hoyogames I've previously played, it certainly has felt a lot better for me. If I needed to know the story, there are playthrough and analysis videos in YT.

I did try NTE for a bit but the story was kind of...really not there, pretty bland? So I wanted to delete my account but couldn't find a way to do it (and this was before people were talking about the whole genAI assets topic too).

Sometimes you just have a few people here and there who point out that you draw women wrong, whether it's the body or the face, and every few times that happens I wonder if I'm /that/ bad at drawing women. Haha, I guess I shouldn't have confidence anymore drawing women? idk anymore 🤣

Hm...the thing I was drawing, I was supposed to have posted it like 2.5 weeks ago, but too much work and the weather is unbearable. 🫠

Too much work this week. I'm just dead tired. 🤣

It has always been a question in the back of my mind since I kept seeing this content pop out but...how exactly does Columbina get Sandrone pregnant if she's an automaton? Does she like have an incubator inside her torso or is it an amalgamation of undecaying flesh and machinery???

Definitely like the Pantropiko Coachella version (though I do also love the OG Pantropiko. That intro is just so strong, I love the kulintang and the flute there. It's really refreshing to hear.

It's midnight and it's 29 degrees Celcius, haha............ugh orz

I was doing a quick scroll through X/Twitter because of the mangaka topic trying to find the reason why and I saw this tweet how people only realized how toxic the state of fandoms are when someone deleted their account. Honestly, I'm surprised how slow it took people to really acknowledge it.

Didn't know X/Twitter did a bot purge, hopefully that does good for everyone, noh? It took out followers for me too, but you win over people, and you lose them when they change fandoms and such... I rarely post much, so I'm less likely to win people over, barely a conversationalist too... 🤔

Trying to finish two things at the same time does not really work when both are tedious to do. Doesn't help that the weather is scorching hot and I'm on and off sick because of it. Lol, whatever, it's fine. It'll surely work out. 🤣

I am already wondering if they'll release something GL-suggestive again for HSR. They certainly tend to deploy that strategy when things are either going flat or about to go flat.

Oh, there's a lot of the Stellaron Hunters now, I guess it has to do with the livestream for HSR today...hm, the only time I feel like they bring them back up to relevance is if they are trying to gain back interest, or somehow they got tied to the plot. SW and Blade are in Planarcadia so, that too.

Schedule is upside down but that's fine. Probably.

🙈

One of the things I don't get with people in ship fandoms is that...you know, there's always this one half of the ship that the majority of the fandom designates as the top, yes? But someone has to come into the comments when the other half of the ship has rare content were they top.

Oh, Petit Planet is on April 21....I mean, if I really did want to play something that's like Animal Crossing, I should just...play Animal Crossing, I'm not that gacha-pilled enough, I'm actually burnt out from gacha tbh. 🫠

I really like the hairstyle I drew on Robin for that illustration. But Robin's always visually pleasing to look at, so it isn't really hard for her to be pretty. 🤭

Process of the illustration I made for Reverie: Penacony Fashion Zine's side zine "Sweet Dreams". 🪽 (Too lazy to log into Tiktok to post this there. 🤣)

When I've exhausted all the documentaries, true crime stories, and horror/urban/ghost stories videos I could listen to, now I've gone to listening to people reacting to Webtoon comics that are highly popular but very dubious and toxic...and I'm also losing my mind along with the reactor. I'm fine 🫠

It's that time of the year again, and the only mischief I'm pulling is a change in DP and name here. (I was considering privatizing that one fic I wrote for the whole of April 1, but then if I did that, I'd probably just keep it private because that's really tempting to do. Resisting the urge.) 🤣

Honestly felt incredulous about that Paimon hand-several fingers error issue. That's kind of a little too much to be an artist error if there was first a weird lump that's not even a good definition of a drafted rough hand underneath Paimon's hand in the livestream. Then they correct it, 6 fingers?

Too much work this week and my manager is ignoring PH holiday (like always) because I also still have work on the holidays haha. Oh well, work is work. 🤣

Weather too hot, I just want to sleep and not do anything.

The only thing I look forward when working is 3PM coffee break but since the weather's hitting back into 30+ degrees Celcius heat......yeah, no coffee. 🤣

I forgot to add an image, but if I ever need a quick laugh, I always go back to this (so long as it's open on screen). 🤣
