Hi, it's me again!! i'm the king of consistency...

For real though.... Maybe this is the day i can turn my life around, somewhat. If i could really stick my mind to it.

Today I woke up pretty early, early enough to do a 1 hour walk around the neighborhood (impressive for me who's lived a sedentary lifestyle for almost 5 years now). I just started back on my diet yesterday, so I think if i can keep up this, the exercise and the diet, that's kind of a leg up (real) from my usual state... (I also have ringfit adventure collecting dust because at the time, I had been obsessed with splatoon. currently i'm not anymore so yknow, maybe this is the right time to replace my gaming addiction. i've just forced myself into recovery from corekeeper)

But anyway on to the thing that made me come back here in the first place.

Somehow between the 2(is it 2?) years since I left this blog to mold, 2 miracles happened.

I got a girlfriend, long distance. Haven't met her yet. She's so cute tho. I love her. I was someone who believed myself to be aromantic, and it's the first time love happened to me. It's wonderful. It's great, even tho my life and future is all weird and I fantasize about disappearing from my parents' general conscience so I can have the life I want with her. It's the first time heartbreak happened to me too, because I discovered recently she has some form of depression (an assumption bc she says its not rly, but I kinda feel like it's something similar), and it hurt that much to know that I can't do anything to help someone I love. God. It was terrible. Like, when I was thinking about it, it hurt physically. But that's why I'm here lol, bc I realize I can't count on her to be an outlet for my entire existence while she's in such a fragile state. I really hope she feels better.

Yuutsumu. It's a ship. It's a ship that I ship like never before. What makes it so special is: its an oc ship which is pretty unprecedented in Snuby history. It's me and my girlfriends' and I think the way it happened is as magical as the actual relationship. There's so much I want to say about it, they're always in my head and I'm always thinking of what more to do with them. It might need a separate post. It might need books, novels, doujin, a game...

I think this writing thing must be relaxing because even tho I'm still kinda crying I already forgot what I was doing here lol. But yea, it's therapeutic. Up until my early uni days, I kept a diary and I think I just really liked writing in it.

But anyway, I was thinking maybe this should be a daily log of what I did during the day, what I plan to do, and how I'm feeling.

This morning I found out I was zoning out last night and threw out a caesar salad that I was looking forward to having :( Mom got me sate padang tho. So i ate that with a banana protein shake. I'm still drinking the shake. These things are kinda hefty.

But anyway. Maybe midday or evening ringfit sesh? I'm thinking I should get about 2 hours of exercise every day, so one in the morning one later. I don't know what I'll have for lunch yet, but I really want carbonara ramyun lmao. so it'll be that, and veggies in the evening.

As for my gf, I want to keep talking to her as normal and as unconditionally as I can. I hope that it can be a reminder that I still love her and think about her and I won't stop ,...

To a kinder and better world tomorrow, cheers <3

august slice of life 01

Look at me, titling this with 01 as if I will make more... but who knows!

Anyway I sure could have left this blog to die but I decided I want to keep it going. So a few random updates...

I started playing BotW, since I finally have time now! So nice! I've been enjoying it very thoroughly, probably 60 hours on now... I was so scared of everything at first (still am tbh) but I've gotten to the point where I'm stuffing lynels in a wok for money... Of course, horses are my first priority there. But now that I've done a bunch of side stuff maybe it's time to get on with the whole divine beast quest... Hm.... just one more side quest... ;;

There is the whole thing about which one to go for first but I feel like the game is Begging you to start with Vah Ruta. Which, well, I also feel bad for making the Zoras wait for me cause they've been so nice. WHICH REMINDS ME! Mipha best girl and when they revealed she legit had a crush on you I'm... wow.. imagine having not one but two shark waifus...

Second off I need to start backing up my laptop files because girl she is tanking. I'm sure I've had this one 2016 or 2017 and sometimes when I put something down on the table too hard the fans start going AWF. I'm thinking of getting a PC built soon... :3c I want a white one... a nice mid range baby I can use for both draws and games...

Then maybe once that's settled I can wait for my laptop to die forreal and get a second laptop that's good enough to draw on at least. Ah, also, my friend used to have a display tablet he isn't using anymore. I wonder if I can get it off him for cheap, since we've been friends for a really long time!! It would be really nice if I could nab that, I think! Hooray social capital!

Which segues beautifully into my next point, capitalism! I want to start a closed species! LOL T.T I'm quite positive nobody reads this so I will talk about it a bit lol, original character do not steal.

The name would be along the lines of Musical Notes/Heartstrings. I only have a veeery rough concept by far but I want it to be cute little chibi humanoid creatures with animal features (important, very cashable) and their whole gimmick is sounds and scents. They live in instruments/music boxes, and their voices sounds like in Animal Crossing/Don't Starve where it's an instrument being played as if someone is talking. Also, they have a whole perfume thing going on, where they have a scent with a top note/middle note/base note. (hence, musical notes) They like to sing and the point of their existence I guess is to soothe their owners/ppl around them? (hence, heartstrings) I haven't decided if I want them to have the whole owners thing or nah. And I haven't decided on the real capitalism factor yet; rarities!

Well, I'll be thinking about that more later. Hopefully when I come back and write here again I'll have them figured out some more! Ciao!

may slice of life

I wanted to talk to myself in a way that's not the short, snappy, witty 360 character limit stream-of thought ramblings I usually do in Twitter...

Cut-!

My kittens, who my mother rescued from our roof, are about 2-3 months old now. I'm going to have them vaccinated soon. At first, I was thinking of using the money I received from Eid to vaccinate the whole lot of them (there are 4, so that also means 4 to spay and neuter), but today there were a few bits of exciting Pokemon news~

1. There's a Wooloo raid den event in SwSh. I've already bred my own shiny Wooloo in a Love Ball, affectionately nicknamed Hop Jr. It's my shortest Masuda hunt on record, only 10 eggs! Back on topic though, I've already secured the raid and just need to catch this bad boy to get a Dubwool, since I wasn't planning on evolving Hop Jr.

2. Raihan got a nendoroid...!! There literally ain't no way I'm NOT buying this. Sobs.

So my Eid money is going into Raihan nendo, which is, taking Marnie nendo as reference (1mil+ rupiah!!), going to cost a pretty penny. It's gonna be my birthday purchase for this year. My birthday is coming up soon, on the 25th! I'm far too old to care too much about it, haha. I think my friends will send me a couple nice drawings, but I'm not expecting too much of it. Actually, just last night my sister and my sibling got into an argument over buying me cake. 😓 Goodness, I don't think I even want cake. The one cake I really want is a mille-crepe, but I don't think that's what they're planning on getting, lol. I don't mind though, I appreciate it. As long as people think I'm worth spending on, it's pretty nice.

Ah, also! My sibling has a friend who shares their switch profile on our device, so we can play her games. She bought Pokemon Snap, and I am loving it. I'm sure I put in a good 20 hours in that already (maybe less, but it was 10 the last time I checked). It's beautiful and I adore it.

I think since I wrote my last entry here, I finished LGE (it was nice, but I haven't touched it for postgame), and started Gates of Infinity and Alpha Sapphire. The previous owner of the AS (which I bought secondhand) had a couple nice pokes left behind, which I passed on to a friend to hold before trading back. Among the notable ones is a shiny Tyranitar and a shiny Mew, but the legality of the Mew is questionable..

But, enough Pokemon, I wanna talk about a manga I started reading.

I don't read manga a lot because lately, I've become used to living in the digital age and the constant *doing things* it entails. Stopping to do just one thing (re: reading) is kind of hard nowadays. Even writing things like this feels like such a huge effort! But I think I should try harder. It's nice when I'm actually doing it, and I need to invest some time in putting my thoughts in perspective.

Anyways, the manga is called Yuria-sensei no Akai Ito, by Kiwa Irie. I realize now I don't have much to say about it, since there's only been 6 chapters translated, but it tells its story in a distinctly josei fashion that I really like. I'm going to be keeping my eye on it!

about pokemon: my relapse and my backlog

since i basically made a whole new tumblr to talk about my current obsession. here's me talking about my current obsession. read under the cut!

Did you like that ancient livejournal reference? I wonder if people still say that?

It's April right now, but it was around the start of the year in late January when I impulsively decided that I was going to finally buy Pokemon Shield. And yes this is 2021, and SwSh was released November 2019, so you have no idea how fashionably late I fell through the ceiling to this thing.

Did you know what gave me that impulse, by the way? It was fanart. I saw a RaiLeon fanart and I vibed with it so hard that I decided, bruh, I need to get licensed for that ship. And now I'm onto them like white on rice, but this is a story for another time.

My sweet gaming setup at the time.

Anyway I hadn't been playing Pokemon since 2016 when I halfheartedly played through half of Sun, so when I bought Shield, played Shield, I was surprised because--

All the press and reviews I heard about it--

-- was negative --

-- BUT I LOVED THE EVERLIVING SHIT OUT OF IT!

I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO GAMERS ON THE INTERNET EVER AGAIN!!!!

I became the Pokemon stannie that I once was in my middle school glory days and I also became somewhat inspired to review all the Pokemon games. Well maybe not all, just the modern ones... But mostly my reasoning is the internet needs less sweaty gamers and more people who appreciate other different aspects of the pkmn games (me) (I'm people)

But before I can do that I need to clear out my backlog in order to have a solid opinion on all of them! Without further ado here is my backlog <3

COMPLETE Sun

IN PROGRESS Let's Go Eevee UPCOMING Alpha Sapphire Ultra Moon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

UPCOMING (REPLAY) X/Y B/W, B2/W2

Now that I've listed them it's actually quite a lot huh...

Once I finish LGPE I'll probably try focusing on the non-remake ones first. I'm looking forward to all of it tho!

By the way in LGE I'm currently at Silph Co and halfway through the badges. The art direction in this one is lovely. Also is it just me or did SwSh really spoil us with minimal battles? There's so many people to fight here.... help..

assorted raihan + pokemon from feb-april 2021

the duraludon is most recent, and it’s one of my favs along with sandaconda. these pics are from different times and i think i really hit my stride/comfort zone (drawing raihan) with those. raihan is hard to draw. men difficult </3

this compilation is also missing gigalith line and turtonator </3 i’ve not done turtonator and i’m not fond of the roggenrola one i did, so i wanna redo that... they’ll be on their way! geometric pokemon difficult </3

hello!

I really like Goomy! (the pokemon!)

i made this blog to have a place where i can keep my thoughts and stuff nice and organized. when i was younger, I used to keep diaries. (now i have a twitter, but it’s not the same. also, twitter is going to the dogs.) i think i miss being able to talk to myself and write down my thoughts and memories like that, so here i am.

i’m a very quiet person (about my hobbies and interests) both online and off, so right now i’m a little excited to have somewhere to comprehensively direct my thoughts at.  😂 lockdown is driving us to do all sorts of things, i think.

i don’t expect to have other people looking at this (mostly i’m bracing the me of 10 years in the future to find this and be embarrassed and nostalgic) but this is the internet after all, and it’s an open blog, so maybe somewhere down the line i will add one of those carrds and byfs and dnis.

for now, here i am again! settling into my little corner of the internet.
