I found Chloris' ice cream song 🤡🍦 The vibes & lyrics fit her... but I refuse to put it on her official playlist, so just treat it like a bonus track instead 😂

Chloris has to be a sad girl now bc I can't find enough happy songs for her 🤡 (I just can't with her genres lmao, brain would rather shut down than try to be objective with the selection 🫠) that awkward moment when my OC is a great singer but I probably... wouldn't listen to her music... 😅😭💀

😂😂😂💖

I love that magical moment when you listen to a song and/or read the lyrics for the first time and just know it's perfect for your OC 👀🎵✨

working on playlists for my Crosses (〜￣▽￣)〜🎶 Finding "enough" suitable songs was... a pain at first 🫠💀 but now I can't stop adding to it even when I keep thinking I'm done... 😅💦💦💦 so this is the music rabbit hole I've heard so much about... 🤡

some pretty shots of Noctilum at night 🥰

getting this from Brewster made me way happier than being forced to attend family dinner ngl... 🙃 his cafe has the perfect healing vibe for introverts (*´╰╯`๓)♬

I ended up joining the dark side & got a Switch2 🙃 I honestly couldn't tell you if anything's changed graphically, I'm too old & tired for this 🫠 but ovis pompoms look very fuzzy and soft. Chloris approved 👍

i'm about to disown Haru from how much art rage he's been giving me since last night (°ㅂ° ╬) why is this man so damn hard to draw (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

getting character lore ideas again... but for Earth!Chloris of all people 🤡 (nothing that will bring her back to life so it's basically useless 😂 but I guess it would flesh out her background more, for whatever that's worth 🤡 and maybe give more insight into pink Chloris' origin story? 🤔🙃)

realizing now that most of my burnout wasn't caused by anything art-related, I am burnt out on life bc my extremely neurotypical family just sucks all my energy & joy away every time I think I'm getting better 😞 And they wonder why I try to avoid every family gathering... 💀

first time logging into ACNH today was uh......... interesting 🫠💀

@rorahdraws.bsky.social 's redesign of the maintenance wear woke up my brain enough to draw this ヾ(０∀０*★)ﾟ*･.｡ and made a few of my own tweaks to Chloris' outfit to be more cutesy 👉👈 Girl talk/helping Nat find her preferences 💖 (+ a wild ovis eavesdropping in the bg... (´°ω°`)) #XBX_Cross

been experimenting with a new coloring style while trying to recover from burnout, and so far the experience has been pretty chill 🖌️🍹✨

looking back at old screenshots makes me miss OG Chloris again 😔 while I do prefer her shorter hairstyle, it would have been nice to at least have the option to swap back to her old style if I wanted. But nope, they just straight-up removed hairstyles in the DE for w/e reason 🫤

when you have to lock the villagers in jail cause they keep trying to obstruct your construction site 😐(╬ Ò ‸ Ó)

I can tell I'm finally starting to recover from burnout cause I'm spending less time in ACNH and more time trying to draw again lol but also made a little ramen/Japanese restaurant for Zucker 🥰🍜

collection is complete once more ❣️💖💕 now just waiting for the eventual Valentine or Holiday alt to finish the home screen 👀

MY HEART WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS

the unabridged/yap version of my answer 🤓🤓🤓

creating a wardrobe for Haru and not sure if everything looks the same bc he has very specific tastes or bc all men's clothes just look the same to me... 😂🤡

Losing my mind over Chloris' top pt2: I checked the notes in the artbook this time and... they weren't that helpful 🤡 But it feels like it jogged my brain just enough to get me closer to an answer 🤔🤔🤔💡 (can we just count this as part of her ref sheets now lol... 🤡🥲)

Tempted to do the character comparison thing again but for Haru & Chloris' kids next... 😅 (It really is such a great "get to know me" method for bringing focus to the main traits of an OC, tho. I want to do this for Haru's friends too now 🥺👉👈)

realized right before i went to bed last night that i made a massive mistake in the wedding pic so after a sleepless night of crying/screaming/dying i found a way to swap the image out with a corrected version, without just deleting/reuploading the entire post

bonus Natasha & Yelv being supportive friends (...well, one of them at least 🤡) + a peek at Haru & Chloris' kids... 👀🫶💕

the knight & the mermaid princess (◡‿◡✿)

YUKATA!!! EUSTACE!!!! ♡〜٩( ˃́▿˂̀ )۶〜♡ AH, BE STILL MY HEART 💓💞o(≧∇≦o)

i did the thing ◝(°꒳°*)◜⋆*ﾟ ...but I think I missed the part where I was supposed to describe my Crosses with characters, not yap 🤡 I am sorry 😔

Thinking about character resemblances like Haru: instant connections made, eloquently written paragraphs that clearly explain the thought process behind the chosen characters Chloris: "uh idk, vibe check lmao"

not me spending way too much time researching perfumes & how fragrances work bc i got curious about what my Crosses' unique scents might be like my brain is so rotted at this point it hurts 🫠🤡💀

I did not understand the true value of this sidestep when they first teased it (bc I hadn't done any serious decorating in years) now I can't believe I was able to get anything done without it 🤡 this removes SOOOO MUCH wasted time spent doing guesswork and fixing accidents 😭👏❤️❤️❤️

noticed some posts going around re: top 9 video games, so I got curious about what mine would look like 🤔 ...yeah, this is as "me" as it gets 🤡

one of these streetlamps is not like the others... and it only took me like 1.5 months to notice 🤡 would love to know what i was thinking 4-5 years ago when i was still actively working on my island 🫠 (the real answer is probably, i was just lazy and/or indecisive 🙃)

I want this Pikachu for Chloris (also the fire Pomeranian)

Playing ACNH recently has felt very much like the "Nothing matters and I am free ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و" type nihilism I wish I had rather than the "Nothing matters and I want to sleep forever (､ﾝ､)" type nihilism I actually have.

woke up today with a "crazy conspiracy theorist connects all the dots" epiphany re: Chloris' top so I did some quick/scuffed tracing to make sure that I wasn't just crazy and... I think I finally worked out a design that seems practical (´⊙ω⊙`)！ Ref sheets coming soon™??? (╯✧∇✧)╯

Revisiting the "Crosses as animals" idea 🥰 started as a warm-up doodle but I had way too much fun with it... 😅 (that wedding pic is never getting done)

one more v-day doodle, this time back in their home world (or the music? AU world i guess lol) (*´╰╯`๓)♬ causing trouble for the staff, typical bad boy behavior 😌 (or was it actually Chloris who lured him away... 🤭😘)

had no drawing plans for Valentine's Day, so ofc it's the one time I actually finish something early 🙃 XCXDE x FF14 = the Crosses of Light, or something like that? 💞

tried to see if I could make a more accurate Haru with FF14's customization but nope, the vibes still felt wrong no matter what i did 😔 also doesn't help that none of the races really suit him 💀 (besides hyur i guess 🤡... but even then the visuals were off) Viera felt closest (with lots of cope) 😐

when you accidentally find a path to the void in your apartment... 🫠

m10 song immediately took me back to life as a teenager and i am feeling every level of uncomfortable right now 🫠 bro don't take me back to cringe, i hate it here 😭

catching up on 7.4, spoiler edition every patch i swear their height difference increases by like 1 pixel. i think i'm probably just going insane, but the conspiracy theorist in me also wouldn't be surprised if the devs were playing a very long game with his height... 🔍

put any of the mahou shoujo weapons in my lalafell's hands and it just works put one in my miqo'te's hands and it looks like a children's toy... 🤡

catching up on 7.4 i finally got to see my plaque‼️ ✧⁺⸜(●′▾‵●)⸝⁺✧ and a bunch of other stuff i wasn't expecting 🤔✨

Impromptu yap time 🤓 Recently read an interesting article that got me thinking about a part of Haru's background that I never really get to touch on bc... it's not a topic that would naturally come up in his/the game's story, but rather past experiences that shaped him into the person he is today. ✨

me: time to start the lineart!!! brain: *immediately shuts down* not even fluff can convince it to work this time i guess 🤡

did not expect to wake up to new art of both my GBF favorites today lol (they look sooooo good 🥹) This + Ilsa in VS = new Society arc coming soon™? 👀👏✨ (Valentine Eustace alt??? 👀🫠🙏💕 /cope)

G'RAHA TIA NENDOROID!!!!!! 👏👏❤️💖❣️

my brain/body went on strike and demanded to cease work on the Photon Bow and stay up until 3 AM drawing fluff instead ??? starting to think their idea of rest isn't to rest at all 🤡 but whatever works lmao. I feel alive again, somehow 🙃👍
