OutofBread;

This morning I received the news that an incredibly close friend of mine passed away. He was basically like a brother to me and my husband. We used to joke about him being our fat Mexican son because we were that close to each other.

I'm probably going to be a little spotty on activity, and if I am here, it's gonna be comfort threads to distract myself from the grief occasionally. I'm hurting. I'm not as bad as I was this morning, but I'm still having pockets of crying hitting me here and there because I was that close to him.

I know some people are probably going to comment that I should probably take time off from the internet and roleplaying, but this is one of my only outlets and the place I come to get away from other real life stresses. I thank you all for all over your concern and support ahead of time. You all mean so much to me. Thank you all!

I posted on Bluesky so I might as well post here too.

I often think about how I might not be a popular artist or have the connections I want in this current fandom, but putting all of that aside, the most overwhelming reaction I have had thus far is my own surprise at myself.

I am drawing faster than I have in years (maybe ever). Even between years of continuous loss and the world being a dumpster fire, my improvement from even this time last year is night and day and it's never been more obvious. I am making things I am so happy to put out and share with the community, where, before, if I hated it but still wanted validation and didn't get it, it was considered a waste of my time. Now, I don't even care if I get 5 notes on something I spent 1 hour on, because it was fun. Because *i* liked it *first*. It's never happened to me where I have just had *fun*

I don't know if it is because I am at a point in my life where my give-a-fuck is broken and I am just more mature about my actions in general, or if it is because I am comfortable in where I am and how I got here, knowing I am giddy at the prompts folx give me or the ideas I come up with in my current hyperfixation. It's been a long time that I have felt this happy creating fan art/fan works, and I've missed it tremendously.

Idk. I am grateful for the people who are here with me, liking what I put out. I'm grateful for the friends I have made, the projects I have been able to work on. I'm pleased with the love and pride I feel inside myself burning brightly and it feels unending. I hope it stays, since it has always been welcome but evasive.

I thank you for letting me create for you ♡ I thank myself for loving what I do, first, and thus giving me more to look forward to - both in progress and in my every day

Yo someone needs to take me away from grabbing faceclaims for a certain NPC I'm cooking for like one thread? maybe?

S.S.S. —

Stolas has wondered how soft the fluff/fur Andrealphus wears around his shoulders is. He's almost dared to touch it but always pulls back at the last second.

process of drawing an OC: - you design them - you get attached to them - their hair gets bigger without you realizing it

Eeeh, I didn’t know today was also NRC Founding Day! What a coincidence. It must be fate or something!

Happy birthday to Mayu! 🎉🎉It just so happens to fall on the same day as Twst JP's anniversary, so let's have a big celebration today! ✨ (Voice lines under the cut!)

Credit to @/twstinginthewind for the blank Ramshackle card edit!

When Summoned: I didn’t think I’d get to celebrate my birthday in another world. I’m grateful that I’ve found friends in Twisted Wonderland to share this with.

Home: Wah, my hair’s sticking up everywhere!

Swap Looks: Time to get ready for the day.

Home Transition 1: Gotta make my bed before I go! Yup, everything’s neat and tidy.

Home Transition 2: I’m always so hungry first thing when I wake up. Alright, let’s see if there’s any leftovers from last night I can munch on!

Home Transition 3: I look like I have a sprout on my head? Well, we’ve gotta go out there and make sure it gets its sunshine then!

Home Transition - Login: I’m not expecting any gifts, but it would be nice to get some practical things like cleaning supplies. It’s hard keeping Ramshackle spic and span on the headmaster’s meager allowance…

Home Tap 1: Jamil-senpai wished me happy birthday and handed me a homemade bento. He really is just like a diligent housewife…

Home Tap 2: The Ramshackle Ghosts surprised me this morning. They woke me up by singing happy birthday. It was really thoughtful of them, so I’ll cherish this memory ‘til I’m a ghost, too!

Home Tap 3: I don’t do anything special to my hair or makeup. I just kinda do what feels natural! Although everyone here seems to know a lot about makeup, maybe I should try asking for tips some time...

Home Tap 4: Ace can’t be nice to me even on my birthday! He just gave me a noogie and said he’d bump me a few times, one for each year. Can you believe him?

Home Tap 5: I really didn't expect to be able to celebrate my birthday with so many people around this year. Nothing beats getting to share all this food with my friends- h-hey Grimmy! That's my share!

Mermay starts tomorrow but posting merfolk records’ first drawing starts today for me (aka finally starting my extremely self indulgent merman story that's been living in my brain for months if not years)

She started drifting too far from how I imagined her, so I'm fixing it. Some unedited screenshots of Amelia's skin blend wip ~60% finished + tattoo wip + few face tweaks + return of her curlyish hair. ♡

[kimquatz]

idk if this is because of just how social media has shifted over the years, but i've come to notice it feels like people don't really talk *with* each other anymore, but more like... *at* each other. and it's kinda sad to see social media feeling so one-sided these days 😓

Okay wait I’m suddenly 100% bought in on Moiraine and Siuan being Birgitte-Gaidal Cain style soulmates, meaning that Siuan is right now in TAR waiting for Moiraine. The promises of “in this life or the next” and “I’ll find you/I’ll wait for you every time” are not just about the cyclical turning of the wheel, but come from the fact that Moiraine and Siuan literally do this over and over and in between they wait together in TAR. Siuan is in TAR, she knows who Moiraine is, and now she just has to wait for her to return to her. Siuan Sanche does wait for only one woman, after all!

That reconciles Rafe’s comments about us seeing Siuan again (and maybe even the angel emoji??) and his comment that you can already tell how they set up their endgame, without it being reduced to flashbacks and a brief epilogue moment which feels really trite and glib and not meeting the moment. He also calls them soulmates in that Q&A 👀

Plus we’ve already seen them in dreams together. Siuan clearly has a connection to the dream world. Even their ter’angreal hut was a world of their own creation that they visited at night. The roles that they play in the narrative are roles that we need over and over if we are to defeat the dark - they are the instigation, the inspiration. They don’t just show us a beautiful love story of dedication and sacrifice, but they are the very water that turns the wheel and thus a cornerstone of every age.
