My sister likes watching me have blood taken/have injections/basically anything involving needles and I don't get it, because I don't even react to them? It's not like I'm crying and squealing and being too much. I just sit there. I have at least two blood tests a year. It's boring.

Pokemon Shield will always have a spot in my heart, just because my sister and I picked it up from the shop on our way home after I went to vote in the 2019 election. Walking around with a vocal five year old chattering about how she hates Boris Johnson was fun. The game was okay too I guess.

Pokemon X was my first Pokemon game (years after it came out, like I didn't get a DS until 2018) so I will admit I am a little excited about Z-A. That's my home.

I drew a lot last night and spent today colouring everything. I love what I did, but also imagine if I didn't do linework hunched over my sketchbook on the floor. Or if I didn't colour using my fucking mouse and instead bothered to drag out my tablet.

Fangs, babe. #art

Sitting on clouds and playing the harp is hard work. Poor angel. #art

Oh, I'm at 2,000.8 hours in Baldur's Gate 3 now. Still have not finished a single playthrough. Only games I have played more are Sims 2, Sims 4 and SWTOR. Not sure what this says about me as a person.

My first honour mode run of Baldur's Gate is going suspiciously well. Managed to kill Zhalk, killed the harpies with no casualties, haven't failed any important dialogue rolls, no one died in the fight at the grove gates... I'm very uncomfortable.

Gave up trying to label my sexuality a long time ago, once I realised that some of it was tied to my gender and while I'm this dysphoric I will never figure it out. But fuck, would be cool if I at least could work out if I experience sexual attraction or not.

Sunk cost fallacy has me, but I honestly hate what I'm reading because the main character has like zero redeeming features. She's just awful. Having flaws in your protagonist is one thing, but if they have no good qualities and no character growth? Why should I care?

I have a stutter, a lisp and a West Country accent. Proof that some people are born to suffer.

Every time I feel bad about procrastinating or taking too long on a project, I remember the quilt my mother started making for me when I was like 8 or 9. I'm now 34 and still have no quilt. Not doing things is in my blood. I can't help it.

My sister likes to watch me do art stuff, ask how to do things and then whine and complain when the answer is always 'practice all the time' Which is fair because I'm 24 years older than her and I do the same thing when I tell myself that I have to practice.

Clowned my 'sona. It suits them. Honk honk. #art

Made it to Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3, which is cool. Actually finished Rivington for the first time. But fuck me this Act sets off my ADHD and makes me want to quit. It's so much and with no real structure. Actual nightmare for me. I just cannot process that much stuff.

I have never played DnD or even watched/listened more than a few episodes of a few podcasts. And now I am writing and illustrating a campaign for my baby sister, since I doubt we could get anyone else to play with us so it's just the two of us.

Failed one deception check with Z'rell and decided to just see how it would play out. 43 rounds of combat, my oath broken and almost everyone in Moonrise dead, including Shart. Well done, Elio. Great recon mission. Definitely flew under the radar there. But it feels in character. He stupid.

Urg, the urge to reinstall and play SWTOR despite the new textures making my darlings look like shit. I need my MMO fix but I hate most MMOs I've tried. The only other one that I loved was Destiny 2 at launch, but I refuse to go back after they removed all the base game stuff that I paid for.

I am at 1,942 hours in Baldur's Gate 3 and am terrified that I am going to hit 2,000 without ever finishing this damn game.

I am not a plant person, but my mother got some new plants and I saw this one and stole him. He is my new friend. I can't stop petting him and cooing over him. Absolute cutie. Hopefully I can keep him alive.

You've heard of God's Favourite Princess. Well, please welcome God's Favourite Himbo. Paladin/Cleric of Lathander. Vain to a fault and dumb as a bag of bricks, but he's a good boy. Actually enjoying playing BG3 for the first time in ages with this idiot.

How am I meant to live when it's another 15 days before I can afford new sketch pads?

'My ADHD isn't that bad' I say as I browse youtube on my tablet and laptop at the same time.

Halsin: Oak Father preserve you, child. My 384 year old Tav: 👍

The birthday card from my nan used a shortened form of my deadname that I hated even back when I used that name. The card from my mother said 'Lovely Daughter' on the front. And my sister just drew clowns and wrote 'honk honk' all over hers. The ten year old wins at respecting my gender.

Putting together a book wishlist has me contemplating if I really need to buy food, or if more books are the actual answer.

Tomorrow will be the 20th year that I am on my period on my birthday! Hooray! Also I turn 34 or whatever. Guess that is also happening.

Yesterday was my darling dog daughter's 8th birthday. So weird that she's already that old. My sweet little squishy Queenie. Hopefully we have at least another eight years together.

Hold up there's a Frankenstein museum in Bath? And no one told me? There is a Mary Shelley museum like half an hour from my house and I did not know. I am the worst goth ever.

I couldn't do it within five minutes so I gave up forever and added it to the pile of dead hobbies that I failed at.

A few years back I got a badge that was a little kitten drinking from a juice box that said 'dumb bitch juice' on it. And my baby sister was so insulted that she copied the badge to 'fix' it, because kittens are NOT dumb bitches. She just gave it normal juice.

I do like that I'm immune to 'your mother would be so disappointed!' comments regarding my appearance, because my mother has way more piercings and tattoos than I do.

Asking me how much a tattoo will hurt is pointless, as half my tattoos I had done while dehydrated/malnourished and the other half I sat there giggling because they tickled. So yeah, just eat lots, drink lots, and breath deep and even.

My mother was so proud that I had all my bills paid. Until I told her I bought more books as well.

Just repost these because I deleted all my posts and I do still like this one. Also I keep procrastinating on scanning/editing my art, so this is about all I have.

The worst part about having to rebuy all the books I got rid of ten years ago is when the covers for the new editions are gross and I have to hunt down old editions that are now super rare and cost so many pounds. Maybe just spent £75 on three books.
