tiny_voicesyou may be wondering, what's bean been up to lately?
well, no, you're probably not wondering that. but i'm nice so i'll answer the hypothetical anyway. you're welcome.
my roommates and i have been watching the new season of Arcane, week by week(ly arc). i think there are valid criticisms to be made about the substance of the show, but man it's a treat to look at. the style is fucking there. the colors and artstyle and subtleties, chomp chomp chomp i'm eating it. also spiraling emo piece of shit Vi is the best Vi and catered just for me. thank you Fortiche. but also it's nice to sit down and watch stuff with my roommates regularly like that-- because i'm weird and have the finicky brain of a cat it's sometimes a struggle to simply sit and exist around them in a normal fashion, but we're making it work. congrats to me for being a person with other persons. i've also gotten them started on Buffy but Arcane has detracted from that, alas
i somehow got back into Risk of Rain 2 in the past week or so, gunning for some achievements/unlockables. after much effort and many failed runs, i FINALLY cleared Monsoon with my girl the Artificer last night and got her special chrome outfit. i'm a gaymer now. running the game a lot is also a good way to catch up on long videos (read: critical role). we also convinced my fave skeleton Malus to play the game with us huehue
i got my second tattoo a couple weeks ago. it's a dirk knife framed by peach flowers. beyond just looking cool and sorta representing the concept of rage and love, it's also a piece for my parents. this couples well with the "you can't take loved away" quote on my other arm. yes i am sometimes a sentimental bitch. but the tattoo is awesome and basically healed now. only thing is, the colored ink (green, there's a little emerald in the pommel of the knife) just... didn't take on my skin. it all came off in the scab process. luckily the tattoo artist already offered to add color to the flowers as a free touch-up, so hopefully in a while i can get the color for real this time. i've also got some ideas for tattoo #3. you know before i got my first one i was like "nah, i'm not gonna be someone that immediately wants more ink." haha wrong
last week my roommates and i went to an "artisans and authors" fair at the public library and purchased some locally-made crafts. it was fun. i got some christmas gifts squared away early and got myself a little resin ghost keychain. i've been wearing it on a pants-chains i already had (fuck with me). i checked out a sci-fi novel by Becky Chambers called The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. so far it slaps. very good vibes and charming characters. i'm a little less than halfway through, so maybe this will change, but it seems almost more... conceptual than narrative-focused? there is an on-going narrative, events are taking place and there's an ultimate Thing the characters are working toward, but mostly there's not been like, an on-going conflict or issue they're contending with. conflict doesn't seem to be the focus of the book, it overall seems more concerned with worldbuilding and musing on its own concepts and characters, almost in a slice-of-life manner. i don't say this as a bad thing. really it's very interesting. but i'm a writer and i'm pawing at the Craft of it all as well as simply enjoying the words on the paper. books good. stories good.
this month i've been aiming for an average of 400 words written each day, which i've managed for the most part. this may coincide with Nanowrimo but i'm not aiming to do a whole novel, nor have i ever done that. but the act of writing regularly is good for me to do at least occasionally. the running theme is simply things that would take place in my RPG setting-- flesh it out, experiment with my characters, ride vibes, etc. i think it's been a good experiment. maybe i'll keep up with it a little even after the month is over. or i won't, that's okay too. i'm gonna be nice to myself about it, dammit
we got actual snow yesterday, and it actually stuck for a whole day. the family next door had a snowball fight. thanksgiving is next week (i might end up going to two different gatherings). we're hangin' in there, folks
