this month's monet according to my calendar because it brings me peace

woke up at like 5:30am and couldn't fall back asleep so i spent the next 2.5 hours getting mad about gacha games

For some reason, I have a very special collection with « Woman with Parasol ».

Claude Monet is not my favourite artist, but this works did something to my soul, something so deep that I just cannot ignore it. I had three different versions of this masterpiece with first basing such a failure that I don’t even have photos of it.

This is my most recent one, a first attempt into pixel art, but I love it.

And the second one, the dearest one for me, combination of my comfort characters and comfort art.

I wish that one day I will see it in the reality.

Might I ask your godly writing hands to write a ena (dream BBQ) x a reader finding ena in their world/ real life | be sure to take breaks and rest well!

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Although I’ve written this scenario previously, I decided to revisit it using unused ideas from the original draft. Consider this a spiritual sequel of sorts. Thank you for your kind message, Anon—I hope you enjoy it!

★ Summary: A Compilation Of Headcanons Featuring Salesperson ENA Phasing Into The Reader’s World

★ Character(s): Salesperson ENA (ENA: Dream BBQ)

★ Genre: Headcanons, SFW

★ Warning(s): None - Completely Safe!

☆ She falls through your ceiling like a broken lightbulb. One moment, you’re doomscrolling on your couch. The next, your living room fills with the sound of a dial-up modem screaming as a glitched hole opens in the air. ENA falls out, suspended mid-glitch, pixels distorting her limbs before she hits the coffee table. Her cap lands perfectly upright on your cat. “Hmm. I was aiming for the bathroom. This must be the wrong portal.” Meanie interrupts, “OH MY GOD. OH NO! WHERE ARE THE ORNATE DOORS. WHERE ARE THE OCEANS. YOU’RE NOT THE GENIE!!!” You offer her a glass of water. She drinks the entire glass. And the glass.

☆ She treats your microwave like an interdimensional radio. She presses her mitten hand against it like it’s a sacred relic. “This here box… it hums with culinary prophecy,” she whispers. You tell her it just heats leftovers. She ignores you and begins twisting the dial with surgical reverence. “It’s encoded. See? 3:33… a prime time. Prime numbers make prime deals.” She shouts into it: “HELLOOO?! BATHROOM?? ANY BUSINESS ENTITIES THERE??” Later, she makes a pizza bagel and calls it “a circle of industry.”

☆ She sleeps in your bathtub, insists it’s her new headquarters. You try to offer her the couch. ENA refuses, arms crossed, already halfway submerged with your shampoo bottles floating around her like fallen satellites. “I CAN FEEL THE GENIE’S ENERGY IN THE PIPES,” she yells through the walls. “THEY’RE SPEAKING IN DRAINSCRIPT!” She draws little maps on your tiles with marker. Every morning, you find her reporting back to her “superiors,” which is just your rubber duck.

☆ She gets a job at your local corner store and causes a minor existential incident. You try to explain Earth’s economy. She misunderstands entirely and starts working at the bodega three blocks down. “Two for one? More like truth for none! That’ll be $7.77, and your belief in object permanence.” Once again, Meanie suddenly intercepts, “YOU’RE ALL LOSERS!!! GET OUTTA MY STORE!!! PAY WITH YOUR TEARS, SLOBS!” She hands a baby a scratch ticket and calls it “an investment in hope.” They win. The baby is now her protégé.

☆ She learns what streaming is and gets addicted to mukbang videos. The horror. The crunch. She sits ten inches from the screen, eyes wide triangles of alarm. “They’re monetizing gluttony. I respect it. Perhaps I too… should ingest social media for business purposes.” You come back with groceries. She’s livestreaming herself pretending to eat a dictionary. Her chat is all bots. She names them.

☆ She confuses your alarm clock for a death timer and starts writing a will. One morning, your alarm buzzes, and she bolts upright from the bathtub, disheveled and glassy-eyed. “NOOOOO!! THE COUNTDOWN!! I’M TOO YOUNG TO BE OBSOLETE!!” She dramatically drafts a will on your cereal box, leaving her left sock to “The Creator,” her right eye to the Genie, and her affections to… you. (That last part was scrawled in red Sharpie, then scratched out by Meanie, who insists it was “irrelevant and overly romanticized nonsense.”)

☆ She discovers mirrors. You regret everything. You should’ve known better. She stares at her reflection for two hours. Then argue with it for another three. “I’m looking respectfully.” “ACTUALLY, YOU’RE NOT, YOU CAPITALIST SCAB! I’LL BITE YOU INTO A JOKE!!” She high-fives herself. Then slaps herself. Then kisses the mirror and pretends nothing happened. You pretend not to notice.

☆ She finds a broken TV and turns it into an altar. She spends days stacking cables and burnt remotes around it, calling it her “Memory Garden.” She whispers to it, “Every channel is tuned to me, darling. That’s the kind of branding we call divine.” You walk in once and see it flicker to life, showing a familiar pixelated silhouette dancing beneath megaphones. You turn it off. She looks at you like you’ve just erased her entire family tree.

☆ She forms a tiny cult with your neighbourhood raccoons. You made the mistake of leaving her unsupervised for one (1) dusk. You return to your backyard and find her standing on the fence, flanked by three raccoons wearing sunglasses. “DO NOT INTERRUPT THE MEETING OF THE BOARD!!!” She then hands you a pamphlet made of napkins and glitter glue. You’re now her unwilling intern.

☆ She sits beside you in the grocery store parking lot and says the most honest thing she’s ever said. One night, after a long silence, she leans against your shoulder, her triangular eyes dimmer than usual. The neon signs of your world blink in her reflections. “I don’t think I was ever meant to be here,” she murmurs. “Not just… in your realm. I mean… anywhere.” Meanie doesn’t interrupt. Salesperson doesn’t sell you a thing. You nudge her arm and reply, “Same.” She doesn’t reply, but she stays. For the first time, she just stays.

Who saw this coming, because I sure didn't! I don't think I'm gonna come back with cc making anytime soon after this though 😅

These started out as Non-Default eyes for my berry sims, but then I decided to make them in the regular EA colors, because I ended up liking how they look.

The berry swatches were made using the @thejewlbox palette ^^ Some of the berry swatches have weird pixels around the edges, which could have to do with the colors being bright, or the game textures being smaller, or both. And if that's the case, there's no fixing it without changing the colors, which I don't want to do.

A big thanks to @viiavi for the heterochromia tutorial and @minty-plumbob for the heterochromia mesh for infants! I couldn't have done this without both 💗

Please don't claim/reupload my work, and put it behind paywalls or monetize it. My CC is FREE. If you have any questions, or encounter any issues, let me know!

P.S. The heterochromia takes up the choker texture slot. Most necklaces will work, but if they share the same texture space as the eyes, they will bug out. Chokers will not work!

The Emergence of NFTs: Transforming Digital Ownership and Creativity

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have revolutionized the way we think about digital ownership, art, and collectibles. By leveraging blockchain technology, NFTs provide a way to create, buy, sell, and own unique digital assets with verifiable provenance and scarcity. This article explores the world of NFTs, their impact on various industries, key benefits and challenges, and notable projects, including a brief mention of Sexy Meme Coin.

What Are NFTs?

NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital assets that represent ownership of a specific item or piece of content, such as art, music, videos, virtual real estate, and more. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are fungible and can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis, NFTs are indivisible and unique. Each NFT is recorded on a blockchain, ensuring transparency, security, and verifiability of ownership.

The Rise of NFTs

NFTs gained mainstream attention in 2021 when digital artist Beeple sold an NFT artwork for $69 million at Christie's auction house. This landmark event highlighted the potential of NFTs to transform the art world by providing artists with new revenue streams and collectors with verifiable digital ownership.

Since then, NFTs have exploded in popularity, with various industries exploring their potential applications. From gaming and music to real estate and fashion, NFTs are creating new opportunities for creators, businesses, and investors.

Key Benefits of NFTs

Digital Ownership: NFTs provide a way to establish true digital ownership of assets. Each NFT is unique and can be traced back to its original creator, ensuring authenticity and provenance. This is particularly valuable in the art and collectibles market, where forgery and fraud are significant concerns.

Monetization for Creators: NFTs enable creators to monetize their digital content directly. Artists, musicians, and other content creators can sell their work as NFTs, earning revenue without relying on intermediaries. Additionally, smart contracts can be programmed to provide creators with royalties each time their NFT is resold, ensuring ongoing income.

Interoperability: NFTs can be used across different platforms and ecosystems, allowing for interoperability in the digital world. For example, NFTs representing in-game items can be traded or used across multiple games and virtual worlds, enhancing their utility and value.

Scarcity and Collectibility: NFTs introduce scarcity into the digital realm by creating limited editions or one-of-a-kind items. This scarcity drives the collectibility of NFTs, similar to physical collectibles like rare coins or trading cards.

Challenges Facing NFTs

Environmental Impact: The creation and trading of NFTs, especially on energy-intensive blockchains like Ethereum, have raised concerns about their environmental impact. Efforts are being made to develop more sustainable blockchain solutions, such as Ethereum's transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

Market Volatility: The NFT market is highly speculative and can be volatile. Prices for NFTs can fluctuate significantly based on trends, demand, and market sentiment. This volatility poses risks for both creators and investors.

Intellectual Property Issues: NFTs can raise complex intellectual property issues, particularly when it comes to verifying the rightful owner or creator of the digital content. Ensuring that NFTs are legally compliant and respect intellectual property rights is crucial.

Access and Inclusivity: The high costs associated with minting and purchasing NFTs can limit accessibility for some creators and collectors. Reducing these barriers is essential for fostering a more inclusive NFT ecosystem.

Notable NFT Projects

CryptoPunks: CryptoPunks are one of the earliest and most iconic NFT projects. Created by Larva Labs, CryptoPunks are 10,000 unique 24x24 pixel art characters that have become highly sought-after collectibles.

Bored Ape Yacht Club: Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is a popular NFT collection featuring 10,000 unique hand-drawn ape avatars. Owners of these NFTs gain access to exclusive events and benefits, creating a strong community around the project.

Decentraland: Decentraland is a virtual world where users can buy, sell, and develop virtual real estate as NFTs. This platform allows for the creation of virtual experiences, games, and social spaces, showcasing the potential of NFTs in the metaverse.

NBA Top Shot: NBA Top Shot is a platform that allows users to buy, sell, and trade officially licensed NBA collectible highlights. These video clips, known as "moments," are sold as NFTs and have become popular among sports fans and collectors.

Sexy Meme Coin (SXYM): Sexy Meme Coin integrates NFTs into its platform, offering a decentralized marketplace where users can buy, sell, and trade memes as NFTs. This unique approach combines humor and finance, adding a distinct flavor to the NFT landscape. Learn more about Sexy Meme Coin at Sexy Meme Coin.

The Future of NFTs

The future of NFTs is bright, with continuous innovation and expanding use cases. As technology advances and more industries explore the potential of NFTs, we can expect to see new applications and opportunities emerge. From virtual fashion and digital identities to decentralized finance (DeFi) and beyond, NFTs are poised to reshape various aspects of our digital lives.

Efforts to address environmental concerns, improve accessibility, and ensure legal compliance will be crucial for the sustainable growth of the NFT ecosystem. Collaboration between creators, platforms, and regulators will help build a more robust and inclusive market.

Conclusion

NFTs have ushered in a new era of digital ownership, creativity, and innovation. By providing verifiable ownership and provenance, NFTs are transforming industries ranging from art and entertainment to gaming and virtual real estate. While challenges remain, the potential benefits of NFTs and their ability to empower creators and engage communities make them a significant force in the digital economy.

For those interested in the playful and innovative side of the NFT market, Sexy Meme Coin offers a unique and entertaining platform. Visit Sexy Meme Coin to explore this exciting project and join the community.

We're not people anymore—we're pixels, posturing avatars in a never-ending gladiator match of validation. Each tap, each swipe, another offering to the algorithm gods. Welcome to the feed, baby. Step right up. Strip yourself down to marketable traits and watch the likes flood in like dirty money through a cracked Vegas slot.

The feeds are everything. The feeds are nothing. They're just human vending machines now—stick a coin in, out pops someone’s trauma, their tits, their kid’s birthday, their dog’s death, their hot take on NATO, their #GRWM grief routine. It’s all content. All of it. And goddamn it if we’re not feeding each other into the beast with smiling faces and monetized hashtags.

Political leaders don't debate—they stream. War criminals with ring lights and branded hoodies. Soldiers of the dumb leading armies of dopamine addicts. Left, right, center? Nah. It’s all just teams now. Just jerseys. And behind the jerseys? Content creators. Megaphones with egos. Opinions wrapped in sponsored segments.

And TikTok? That’s the town square where Shakespeare got replaced by someone lip-syncing about their break-up while bouncing in yoga pants. Instagram is just soft-core capitalism—filter your face, filter your life, but don’t you dare filter your reach. Got a modeling gig? Great. But make sure you clock in at CVS this weekend because fame don’t cover rent unless it’s viral.

Facebook? Like a community notice board run by madmen and bots. Join a group? Sure. Want to bond over asbestos? Enlighten your soul with naked yoga and essential oils that cure cancer? It's all there. Fifty million dopamine churches, each one with its own gospel, its own snake oil priest.

And X—oh, X. A cesspool dressed up in silicon armor, run by a man-boy who thinks he's Tony Stark but acts like a bored Reddit mod with a God complex. Every take is a flame war. Every thread a minefield. And we keep scrolling through the carnage, thumbs twitching like lab rats on speed.

Scroll. Scroll. Scroll. There’s a plane crash. A school shooting. A fucking cat wearing sunglasses and playing piano. A celebrity redemption arc. A breakdown. A comeback. A murder. A make-up tutorial. A ghost sighting. An alien. A child dancing at a funeral while someone vlogs their grief.

We’re in a constant state of voyeurism and exhibitionism, both at once. The orgy of self-exposure, the bloodsport of public opinion. You want private content? Pay up. You want the truth? Scroll past it. You want peace of mind? You’re in the wrong century.

This isn’t a society anymore. It’s a contest. A rat race on LSD where the finish line keeps moving and the prize is a poisoned trophy.

So here’s my message, not that they’ll hear it—too busy counting followers, likes, clout. To the influencers and the brand consultants, to the blue checkmark prophets and the dopamine pimps:

Fuck off.

Give me back sanity. Give me back privacy. Give me back a world where your value wasn’t measured in engagement metrics and trending hashtags.

We’re drowning in noise. And somewhere deep down, someone still remembers silence.

But not today.

Because the feed’s still scrolling.

hi there! hope you dont mind the nonny message but i was wondering if you could (and were comfortable with) talking about some of the challenges you've faced when monetizing spicy content. ive been considering getting into it and i think im finally ready to take the plunge but i have no idea what to expect.

ps. love your books!

trying to peddle any kind of sexual content is a minefield. I've had posts removed from Facebook, from Instagram, I've had labels slapped on me on Twitter and Tumblr and Bluesky (even for things that AREN'T NSFW, Tumblr being a prime example). I've even gotten dinged by Patreon, despite the fact my account is an 18+ verified account, and they pulled one of my posts. Despite their policy of "change the post and resubmit it, we'll reinstate it," they never did that and the chapter still lives in purgatory. (I had to repost it instead.) It's even difficult to have prints made, and only a few limited vendors are willing to do it, such as Mixam (who kinda sucks for other reasons).

I could go on and on, but be prepared to get your wrist slapped a lot, censor your content (don't use pixellating, a lesson I've learned the hard way) and have strangers go OUT OF THEIR WAY to report you and call you names and accuse you of all kinds of horrible things. (I'm routinely deleting comments telling me to k*ll myself, go to jail, etc etc).

Not to discourage you, just be aware it's difficult and you really have to be careful.

And thank you! I'm so glad you like them!! I really couldn't do any of this without my readers who always encourage and support me.

One of my favourite artists, Monet, painted this bridge in a series from 1899 to 1902. So, I like to think his impressionist charm, is now in pixelated form … and rendered ‚delightfully’ out of focus. -- Okay, just kidding, I only wanted a new wallpaper with a vibe.
