Some sparks in the dark🖤

Me *Before starting to work with a therapist*: At times, I'm afraid of reposting some silly posts and reels to my story because I know my relatives can see them...

Me *after a couple of years after beggining to work with my therapist*: I don't care about my relatives' thoughts and opinions but may get embarrassed a bit when I see my therapist looked through my insta story!

I've been looking through MK T-shirts on WB, found this one, and realized I'd like a similar general design of my own T-shirt but with Heinrix and his 'Throne, take you!' instead!😁

As soon as I decided to post I've been part of a watercolour painting club for around two months and drawn a few pictures, the tutor told me the anti-cafe (time club) hosting our art club ceases cooperation. It means the very next week we aren't supposed to have any more art lessons there. That's pretty unfair as nobody expected this. Besides, the thing is both Sunday and Monday's watercolour painting clubs were very quickly kicked out of the timetable for no visible reason! Like Argenta from Rogue Trader says, 'I'm enraged!'xD

At least, now, it seems our tutor's found a temporary place to settle, not far from the cafe. If it works, it'll be a relief! I'm already used to relaxing and escaping from all the daily routines and troubles while painting. Watercolours are a serious challenge to me as I've never been taught how to use them properly. But I look at random pictures and realize I have enough motivation so far to try to handle watercolours a bit. I'm inspired by vibrant colours and process itself I guess.

And I secretly hope that current practice can help me to gain enough skills to draw some sceneries from my fav CRPGs including NWN, NWN 2, KOTOR, Rogue Trader and etc. I have had plenty of ideas I could bring to life for so long!

I see the mistakes but have to admit the pictures I've drawn could be much worse. In fact, they're better than I expected!)

If a character says that to his beloved one, she's definitely going to die!

Happy Birthday ❤️🎂

Thank you so much!❤️🥰

Okay, first, that's amusing! Second, that's something I do on a regular basis when I learn another successful move (but it doesn't normally work on hard, unluckily). Last, this Liu Kang's move is one of the most annoying in MK 11! When I fight against him, he often spams this move, that's unfair!

Escaping reality...

Within the last few weeks I've been drained and wanted badly to work less but get higher wages at the same time. Shame, turns out it doesn't work this way!( I hoped I'd have a chance to call off everything and relax on my birthday a bit. This plan actually ended up doing some other utter things to do and organisating my birthday celebration for me and my family, but okay, it was fun anyway. It was the first time I'd organised the celebration in a restaurant for a few people... and why didn't I do that before?!

My brother got me into MK 11 with the early present so that I won't "borrow" his console each time! I'm actively exploring Jade's, Kitana's and Liu Kang's abilities. Can't believe I was deceived and given 'a friendly fatality', I didn't expect such ones all! Pleasant surprise in this universe!😁

Besides, I've joined a few watercolour workshops within a month or so, and it was another way to try to unwind and create 2.5 pictures. MK 11 and watercolour painting go well together as I see it...

Long story short!

Me *a couple of months ago*: I'm playing only (c)rpgs!

Me *now*: Mortal Kombaaaaaaaaaat!

Random babbling

Came to the club today to play board games, and ended up being ignored for about 40 minutes because there weren't many people there, and everyone was a relular, much more experienced player than me. The games were new for me today, and it seemed nobody wanted to play with someone like me, who doesn't know the rules. I've been to the club four or five times before and seen situations like this, but there had always been plenty of other people and those willing to help newcomers among them. But not today. It was kind of frustrating to be isolated, so I ended up leaving. It's a shame I wasted my time, of course. On the other hand, I made a milkshake for the first time in my life (many thanks to the doctor who convinced me to buy a portable blender to prepare protein drinks). I also decided to reminisce a bit and started watching Mortal Combat (1995), because I watched it as a kid and don't remember much of it anymore. I've been said real martial artists acted in the movie, and I need to see the combats!
