This is a day late because, for some odd reason, I was unable to log in to Tumblr from my desktop; I kept getting an error message, even though my login info was correct. Oh well, on to the description:

It's officially Spring (well, it was yesterday)! So, here is a springtime version of my character, Fresca, to help celebrate the new season. Can I be a little honest, though? Out of all four pictures I've drawn for this series, this one is my least favorite. I feel like there are some things I could have improved, but I might change my mind about it over time. Happy Spring!

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away.

As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other.

We honor her memory and oppose the war.

More Tomodachi Life-related content. It's been a little over a week or so since I last picked up the game, but in the time that I did play it, I managed to capture a few shots of my playthrough with my phone. I managed to cobble this video together of my little Mii clone and a few others (mostly OCs).

Over the past few days, I have found myself completely absorbed in this game, and I've been really enjoying it.

I have to admit, the initial charm of this game has worn off for me already, which is a shame. I managed to get some of my Miis paired off in either relationships or marriages, so at this point, I only check in on them to make sure that their friendships and relationships are at a healthy level...to no avail in some cases, because over the course of this week I had to break up three fights between six different Miis.

Regardless of its repetitiveness, it's still a nice cozy game to play if you need to decompress for a minute. Hopefully Nintendo plans on adding more content for it in the future.

Calling an afro a "cloud bob" is CRAZY WORK 🤣 "defined by Tom Smith" how do you define the hair that comes out of Black heads 😭

Defined by Mrs. Ice CBC as "a flattened haircut with a limp, weighted silhouette", Depressed Curls plays well with thin hair lacking in volume textures.

That one marvel Tokon ask about Danger reminded me of something.

This is the Mighty Grand Piton and the girl is Connie.

From a little trailer like short animation (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v9hbmMkdPzo).

Would you say Piton would be a Black robot?

I would only say yes from the two toned lip! But tbh, I don't see why not. Why can't the robots be Black 🤷🏾‍♀️

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking, "Man, I really hope they make this into an actual show." It's now 2026, and I still haven't seen or heard wind of at least a pilot being produced ;_;
