Can't believe we figured out we were a system a little over a year ago now ...

So much has happened with us and with life I couldn't even begin to catch up. I'm leaving this blog up but it isn't something we plan to maintain right now or return to. Old memories. We have to focus on what's next. Maybe someday we'll make another blog for us to all share, who knows ...

Life is hard! Consider buying my stuff!

My life isn't quite falling apart, but things have gotten really tricky lately. One housemate (and their super destructive, permanent houseguest) is refusing to pay their share of rent or utilities for the next three months, and another is refusing to pay their full share of rent for that same amount of time and is making us cover around $75 every month, and I'm having to double-up my hours at work while still being a full-time student (and also one of my professors, who we're 99% sure is using ChatGPT to generate her citations because none of them exist and we pointed this out, hates my guts and has been grading me really harshly and forcing me to go full-sail on every assignment to ridiculous degrees in order to pass this required class).

My spouse is working on getting full-time at their job, but it looks like they won't be able to until December, and we also have no idea how much rent is going to increase this year-- my guess is it's going to go up another $500, same as last year, to a total of $3,000, so things are gonna get really fucking bumpy until around January, probably.

So basically, if you like the work I've done, consider throwing me a tip on Ko-Fi or buying my stuff on Itch.io:

You are in a new world and new body. Where are you? What are you? How will you get home?

A GM-less solo RPG where you, a dragon, try to sneak into a human festival for some partying. Don't get caught!

(Also I promise we have more stuff lined up that we want to polish and publish, life has just been super-duper fucking busy! There is so much more going on right now than what I've mentioned here, especially in terms of surprise medical bills and other horrible surprises. And we haven't forgotten about Inky Paws issue 2, either, which we're still hoping to have done by December and which will STILL always be entirely 100% free to download, no matter what our living or money situation looks like. That will never ever change, so please don't worry!)

The joys of having a currently nonverbal Ominous Presence in the system. At least I know EXACTLY who he is but... he isn't making things easy lmfao

#he just Deposits Thoughts in a big tangled mess and looms ominously until I figure out what it means #then he goes away for a little bit or hangs out in the background #he's so different from everyone yet so familiar #- Fisher #haven't been posting much because we're much more active on discord rn uwu #my art #system journaling

beastly reminder

Almost. Years ago my computer suddenly stopped working and lost everything on it. Fortunately a relatively recent backup still existed bc of my family, a recent parts switch, and dumb luck. But last year a friend of mine got hacked and lost close to everything he had done creatively in the last 17-ish years. Art. Novels in progress. Entire conlangs. DnD character Sheets. Music he had made. All gone. He never backed any of it up. Few months later I started this habit (or ritual, almost) of drawing a reminder beast any time I would make a full complete backup. In hopes that seeing these things might remind others and myself. (Another factor here is that I am an animator and some of the stuff on my computer took literal years to make. And the film university I go to urges us to take this stuff seriously, too.)

This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears

I really need to take time to help the other one finish putting together a playlist or two, for my music...

Right now we have two playlists, one of Blind Guardian songs we like and another for one of my favorite bands. But it would be nice to have a mix of all sorts of things I like, in the order I want.

Going to take a little while but I am familiar enough with what I like that it would be worth putting together. :)

#Ahh I keep forgetting to do that!!#will try to remember and find time to make a good list of songs for you when I can buddy #also to remind anyone interested this is Grists own blog #it's SUPER DUPER CUTE and his tag system is... very creative and endearing xD #- Fisher #system journaling
