thinking about my Crosses' signature Arts is way too fun, i already know i'm not getting anything else done tonight 🫠🤓 (also want Chloris' Green Art to be the perfect buff for Haru's damage Art obv... but need to decide on what type of damage it is first 😅🤔💭)

Reporting my scan of the entire map for Lifepods 🫡 I found exactly 4 of them... and they were all in Cauldros 🤡💀 Yeah... I think we should just use our own headcanons to find safer landing spots 😅

Finally time to yap about Chloris' robot mode/identity crisis 👀 I guess this is like part 2 of this post from a while back 😅 If Chapters 0-5 was her Robot arc, then 6-9 explores the growing pains of a robot learning to act human, and 10-12 is when she starts to feel truly "human."

> tries to think of an Aura Art for Haru "What if it lets him stay alive at 1 HP even if he keeps getting hit, but he dies as soon as it runs out?" "..." "that's literally just Living Dead isn't it" yeah i should probably keep thinking 🫠 (also son i thought you were a GNB main, not DRK (ㆆ_ㆆ))

Cute how she says this while wearing Chloris' outfit 😅 Chloris is an inspiration to others ( ˊᵕˋ )♡.°⑅

Pop idol group dynamic 🌺✨😊💐🩰🎶🎤🙌✨ VS Rockstar group dynamic 😠💀🩹💢💦🤬🫠🤦‍♂️💢 Love when you keep yapping nonsense nonstop that some of the wildest and funny scenarios come to life accidentally😅 #XenobladeX #XBX_Cross

Relaxing after a hard day's work 😌🎶✨

If I could pick anywhere else for Chloris' lifepod to end up, it might be somewhere around here instead 🤔

omg ilsa my queen!!!!! 😍 she looks absolutely perfect... 💞💕

Irina was actually able to survive against Vortice up until its last 5 - 10% HP 🥲 Was genuinely heartbroken when she finally went down, I really hoped she and Chloris would beat him together 😔💔

As soon as I was given the option to customize the mannequins, I knew what I had to do 😂💕

i got my first ever blue rose after 5 years!!!!!!! I had to do a double take when I saw it cause I couldn't believe what I was seeing lol. It's like it was waiting for me to come back before appearing... Chloris really is a lucky girl 🥹💖

For some reason my brain only remembered the parts of my island that were unfinished/a pile of rubbish and totally forgot about the nicer areas I'd set up, like this garden near my museum (´ ˘ `∗)💐 I guess old me had some good ideas after all 😅

@rorahdraws.bsky.social this made me think of our recent conversation 😂😅 maybe he's the solution we've been waiting for...? 🤔🫠

guess I'm back in ACNH hell for now 🫠 the only thing that could get me to take a break from drawing... is finding a different creative outlet 😅💦💦 I rearranged Chloris' hobby room a bit, so now she has a cute little desk where she can do all her journaling stuff 🥰📔🖍️

Chloris scolding the two who wrecked their Skells while checking off Tyrant segments in Oblivia today... (╬ Ò ‸ Ó) (jk, she could never. she probably just blamed herself for it somehow lol) Irina's Skell piloting was flawless and amazing as always, of course. 🥰

she started seeing him in a different light after that 👀

The stark difference in hours between 2025 and 2021 is basically "post-covid vs covid years" visualized lol 🫠 And I only really played 1 game last year (that I should have played more. I feel like a fraud 😔) (also, funny how you can literally see the moment I got addicted to FE3H back in 2021 😅)

now debuting ✨The Howling Souls✨ an edgy bad boy rock band brought to you by me and @rorahdraws.bsky.social 👀🎸🎤🎶 feat. drummer Al, vocalist Lao, lead guitarist Yelv, and my bass guitarist Cross 🫶 #XenobladeX #XBX_Cross

thinking about the rock band AU outfits is making me want to design a proper pop idol look for Chloris now... (*´ч ` *)🎀 (also, if the guys get to have unique outfits not limited to the game, then the magical girls deserve special outfits too!! maybe inspired by their code names...? 👀✨)

progress on the rock band AU pic has stalled because i can't decide whether a collar is an appropriate rock star accessory or not 🫠💦💦 this AU continues to be one of the weirdest ways i've started off a new art year 😅🫠

me drawing cute (pink) girls: ✨🔥🔥✨🖊️🎨🌸👀👀✨💞🔥👀 me drawing bearded 30+ year old men: tired, no focus, low energy, need coffee/snacks 🫠💀💤🙃 (ask me how the rock band AU sketches are going 😂)

something about Yelv's hair keeps making me think of a shaggy wet dog in desperate need of some proper grooming i just want to brush it a bit and make it a little neater 🫠. it does have some decent "rock star" vibes as is tho (i wonder how it'd look as a ponytail? 🤔)

i have no idea what to do with my free time other than draw now... 🫠 the edgy bad boy rock band AU is calling to me 👀🎶

It's 12/31, which means it's Haru's birthday!! 🥳🍰✨ happy birthday to my boy (੭*ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭♡

i'm finally doneeeeeeee time to slack off for the last few hours of the year ヽ(；▽；)ノ

silly me for thinking i'd actually have time to relax at the end of the year and catch up on 100%ing the DE 🤡 (still working on Haru's bday pics lol, but at least it's not pure torture like the anniversary pics were. just a little more rendering to go 🤞)

my goal next year is to finally get those Cross ref sheets done. i meant to work on it in Sept but lost any motivation to draw during that time 😞 early next year for sure tho ٩(°̀ᗝ°́)و (probably still not going to get Chloris' music weapons done any time soon tho, i'm not creative enough for this 💀)

he has one of those voices that sound like it's whispering right into my ear and my heart is too weak to handle it... 💞∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

happy holidays 🤡

can't believe i focused on Golden when Free is right there with the perfect lyrics for Chloris & Haru: "you say you're no good but you're good for me," "you're waking up all these parts of me that i thought were buried for good," "let the past be the past til its weightless" etc etc 👀✨

Sick day so I finally sat down and watched that movie about Kpop idols and hunting demons 🤕🫠 Objectively a good/well-made movie, but I must admit I may not be the exact target audience for it 😅 (would love to hear Chloris sing Golden tho. Maybe with a couple of her fellow magical pop idols...? 👀🎙️🎶)

rough sketch that i should technically fix/tidy up later, but i also kind of want to just leave it like this cause i feel like the wonky sketchiness fits the vibe better 😅😂 (also finally drawing Chloris as the walking disaster that she is, love to see it 🥰)

the song is so pretty 🥺 SennaRin's vocals are always so perfect ❤️✨🎶 (still no US date tho, ok i guess 🤡) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD25...

tried skipping the lineart and jumping straight from rough sketch -> color/render to see if I could work faster while also avoiding excess wrist strain 🤔 The biggest pro so far is that I don't have to draw lineart 😂✨ (and I THINK it went faster... but not 100% confident about that 🫠)

I put Flora through a little photoshoot of her main glams before the restrictions were lifted & I was actually pretty happy with them... but now that the restrictions are gone she is 100% wearing that very last outfit as her "default" look for the casual knight aesthetic ⚔️💖

I put Chloris in a momo/peach box as a nod to the mikan/orange boxes i often see in cat pictures 😅 and bc pink/green 🍑 but now i can't stop thinking, how cute it would be if Haru called her Momo as a nickname (after he stops the whole Princess thing)... 🥺💗

Cross thought exercise 👀✨ If your Cross were a type of animal, what would they be and why? 🐰🐶🐓🦔 #XBX_Cross

(Almost) everyone's reactions to Irina's first H2H, as promised to @rorahdraws.bsky.social 😌 ⚠️ Party member spoilers for the entire DE ⚠️ Agreeing to the girl talk (ㆁᴗㆁ✿)

In the wake of a new patch, the thing I always end up looking forward to most is new flowers lol Camellias!!!!!! 💖 I'm surprised they weren't already in the game 🤔 (still no hibiscuses tho (´ω`) i must continue to wait...)

finally had the time to get this done, just in time 🫠 erudition team stays winning ✨

❌ spending money on gacha pulls ✔️ spending money on physical merch i can hug and squish whenever i want ( ˘ ³˘)💕❤️

ngl the contrast in player reception to HSR's 3.8 vs FFXIV's 7.4 livestreams today has been pretty funny to watch, as a fan of both games both sides are on fire but for complete opposite reasons 😅 (i feel for the HSR devs tho. they're probably going through hell right now 😔)

Can't believe they expect us to wait over a week for the full version of Everything Burns to release the wait is killing me and it hasn't even been a full day yet 😂🫠💀🔥

PINK MAGICAL GIRL/LOVE THEMED GEAR IN MY FFXIV?!?!? just show me the PCT/SGE weapons and i'm SOLD

Flora: Chlorite quartz Her main color is green & quartz makes me think of crystal flowers (fits her name + her Ancient flower-loving counterpart 🌼). It symbolizes emotional healing & renewal - moving on from loss and finding the strength/courage to keep moving forward being key to her development 💖

there is no better reminder of how old you're getting than pulling your back for possibly the first time ever, and not even from doing anything strenuous 💀 damn this fragile, mortal prison of flesh and blood 🫠

painting backgrounds feels so much more chill vs drawing people... maybe cause i don't need to rely on lineart at all and can just render until i like how it looks, + not having clean lines also means i'm not as stressed by imperfections (really helps to keep my motivation high 😅)

i feel like i had some super long dream about my Crosses' kids last night lmao but now i can't remember any of it... 🥲 guess this is a sign i need to draw them at some point... 🫠

thinking about Cross birthdays while i try to relieve some stress 🫠🤔🎂 (the flat colors are finally done so i am taking a short break while i can afford to 💀)
