Coaster update time.

So, to cut an extremely vexing story short, not only did the folks I was using to print the coasters make them horribly warped and discoloured, but they almost missed getting me re-prints altogether, only delivering a *partial* order at the end of Con setup, and then only managing to get the rest to me near the end of Day Two. In addition, they made the replacements in glass, since they said MDF couldn't possibly give me accurate colours (an absurd claim). Since glass is not what was pre-ordered by you fine folks, and since it would be a fool's errand to try courier glass internationally anyway, I must humbly beg some further patience while I do test-prints with a slightly more expensive printing house, who have given me stunning results on my art in the past. 0(_ _)o

Seen above: the glass coasters on my con table (minus the delayed SolTam set), which were still quite a bit darker than the CMYK file I gave them had any reason to be on sublimation... but folks at the con didn't know that, and really seemed to like the design.

Side note: I think I convinced more people to start playing Iwatex than actually bought anything from my table XD (I even had a sign printed out with the game logo that I could point to and folks took photos to remind themselves to check it out.)

Nem, Sol, and their kids for lazyfish on AO3! This was part of this year's Space Swap Exchange, which I am stoked to have been able to participate in.

Game spoilers below for context:

1) Sol and Anemone have matching tattoos based on an in-game event in which "Suns to represent the twin suns of Vertumna" is one of the options.

2) This is based on the Peace on Vertumna ending mixed with Anemone romance and only wanting a couple of kids:

"No one's quite sure whether to believe Noctilucent would really cease his attacks during Glow, but as the years pass and the colony breathes a collective sigh of relief, the Garrison's resources eventually get siphoned away into other departments. Nem is downsized, becoming a reservist instead of staying on with the much smaller standing army that remains. One of her last acts before she retires is dismantling the walls she helped defend. She goes back to playing sportsball and finds her joy again, running teams for children just like her brother did.

You're together for a long time, long enough that when you start thinking about having children... Nem isn't as hardline against it as she was before. She agrees to two children - an older girl and a younger boy - so long as she doesn't have to carry them herself.

As the fog lifts, Nem's latent skills for caring for her younger brothers come right back to the surface. She's the most fun mom in the colony, always ready to play a game of sportsball or give a pep talk about a skinned knee. You give your son Nem's blue-scale scarring enhancement too, and he sports his scars with pride, just like his mom."

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes
