Hi, I'm Kit! I draw things! (I also sometimes write things! And maybe create occasional and mysterious 'other content'...) You can find me drawing things in other places, too:

🎨 #roxirinart is my art tag... unsure why you'd block this one 🤔

🎬 #roxirinanimates for my attempts at animation…

❓ #roxirinother for everything else (memes/rebagels/free pens etc.,)

💖 #roxirin + fandom name for specific fan content, e.g., #roxirinhsr (no spaces) for Honkai Star Rail fanart, and so on

😳 #roxirinnsfw for- well, let's just say... ;))))

Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet! 😁

Ughghgh I *sort of* want to write something about identifying 'AI writing style' but although it might be educational/useful to some, it would probably lead to some non-AI-using writers getting falsely accused just bc their style is vaguely similar (or the LLMs themselves were trained on datasets using styles similar to those (which they were)) and I don't wanna start a witch-hunt by accident, y'know? ;-;

But also every time I see a paragraph that was so obviously shat out by Claude or ChatFFS I want to grip it by the throat and hold it up and shake it until the words fall out >:((( give them BACK

"Sorry, I can't do that right now."

Recently, I've found myself using the phrase 'I can't do that right now' like a point-and-click video game protagonist. If you've never played one, this is a typical thing the player character might say if you click on something that they don't have the ability to do anything with (like trying to open a locked door without having collected the key from a different level first).

Thing is, you have to accept this as a fact. It's coded into the game, and there's no amount of saying 'just open it!' while repeatedly clicking on the door in frustration that will result in anything but 'I can't do that right now' if you don't currently have the key.

There is something I find relieving and freeing in saying this about things in real life. I just don't always have the mental and emotional capacity to go to work and fix the hole in the kitchen ceiling and exercise more and weed the garden and finish unpacking and work on any of my personal projects and have the energy left to feel guilty about not doing all those things. One of them has to give, even if it's something as 'simple' as folding my laundry and putting it away.

For me, 'I can't do that right now' really helps ease both the compulsion to try to do all those things at once, and the guilt that comes with not being able to, because then the problem is not that I'm just not trying hard enough, (or that '[other person] can do all these things at the same time, so I should be able to as well'). The problem is that I don't 'have the key' right now—that is an indisputable fact. I don't (at this point in time) have the capacity to do all these things at once, and that's coded into the game, so instead of feeling guilty or trying to push myself past a point that's healthy, I have to just accept it.

This isn't to say you should just give up and never try to improve yourself or do things outside your comfort zone—it's simply a way to reframe 'I should stop being a lazy slob and pick my clothes up off the floor' into 'I might be able to pick my clothes up off the floor later, but my currently-full mental laundry basket dictates that I can't do that right now, even if it's not literally impossible.'

Sometimes, you need to empty the basket a bit first to make space for your socks. That's all.

Translated the sign in his new splash art, for anyone curious :)

Just started Planarcadia in HSR (I KNOW, I KNOW, also spoilers for the beginning of Planarcadia in case anyone else is also critically behind like me lmao) and like,,,

I can only assume that Yao Guang REEKS of Aventurine because I'm Aventurine-pilled and not because there's actually anything going on there (parallels-wise or plot-relevance-wise, I mean), but like...

It is STIN-KY (ramblings under the cut because I wanted to yap about it somewhere, TELL ME NOTHING, I haven't even met Ashveil yet lol)

The 'Strategist' having 'stratagems' and all that jazz is on the nose, ofc

As is the peacock imagery (he did it first!! Or at least. Meta-wise he did it first >:( IDK if she's a long-life species (probably older than him either way idk) Shoutout to his inferiority complex and her having more 'tail feathers' than him, so to speak. I want them to meet so badly hahah

Her being super good at reading people... maybe this is more personal hc than actual canon BUT it is said in-game that Avgins are particularly emotionally intelligent and I've always interpreted him at also being very good at reading people... I can just picture them looking at each other in silence and playing 4D chess mind-games before they've even said anything out loud

All sorts of mentions of good luck and coin flips and games and such

The line from Sunday, "throwing out heavy profits first is usually a lure to make others lose." lmao telling on yourself there bb but at least you're learning!!

Yao Guang's general talk of odds/percentages with Pearl and how she said that the odds become 100% if she throws herself into the equation (although tbf that is a little different to Aven's general principle of going all-in despite the odds and saying that even if the chance is low he'll still win, as opposed to the chance actively increasing because he's there)

(Side note from the above point, as I learn more about Pearl I have so far come to the conclusion that Aventurine must piss her off so much and that's so fucking funny Or he'd at least thoroughly bemuse her in terms of her percentage-likelihood calculations of the chance of success... she's like, "Yeah the percentage chance of you surviving that was five-point-two, that was... quite unexpected," which she doesn't necessarily mind until it's the fifth time in a row that his chances are catastrophically low and he's STILL completely fine., at which point she's like, "The chances of you rolling eighteen sixes in a row with a dice loaded to land on a one are so close to zero I have hit my maximum computing capacity for storing decimal points," and he (not listening) flips a coin onto the table for fun and it lands on its edge and stays there

(Also side note but interesting how Sunday's mask is shaped like the Dream Master's bird face... wonder how he feels about that. ALSO ALSO second side note I'm delighted to discover that he has telepathy. The possibilities are endless >:D)

FAR too excellent not to draw. I needed NO convincing

[roxirinart]

Practicing my Avens once more, because let’s be honest, who else do I draw X’) But hey! If it’s what gets me drawing, then can only be a good thing :) Not pictured: the metric fuckton of face/head studies that led up to this being better (IMO) than the last time I drew him :) Also practicing the HSR lining style as per always; it’s annoying because although there appear to be some rules re where to make the lines thicker, it’s not entirely consistent.

[roxirinart]

I've slowly been developing writing quirks which I am categorizing as a 'style' so I can continue living in sweet, falsely-rationalised denial; the list is probably longer than this but off the top of my head it includes forgetting to close parentheses, creating over-long compound sentences via excessive use of emdashes and semicolons—which I refuse to allow the AI to take from me—and playing mix'n'match with UK and US spellings of words (I'll get back to you when I inevitably find more...

[roxirinart]

You know for someone that claims to be an artist I sure don't do a lot of drawing. Hence the 'sometimes as a treat' in my bio, IG 🙂

Sucks to be me, too, (/s) because shortly I'm gonna have to get off my ass and do some or ELSE. OR ELSE, I SAY

Even if it's for no other reason than to prove I still can 😤

SCREAMING omg

Went to get a haircut yesterday and the barber gave me his number for making bookings in the future since the shop apparently gets pretty busy so he can't always do walk-ins (which I really should have clocked was just him giving me his personal phone number bc he's interested but I have no skill points in the social tree), and this morning he tried to slide into the proverbial DMs

Thing is I'm almost certain he thought I was a woman judging by how he was acting around me (I don't really care, I almost never get misgendered so the occasional Incident is more funny than anything) so I told him that I'm not...

and this man says 'are you sure'

'ARE YOU SURE'????

the fuck you mean 'are you sure'??????? 😂😂😂

I'm sorry but that's so fucking funny? Because the possible reasons for him asking that range from 'he thinks trans men are just misguided' to ' he's gay and just making sure' to 'he's closeted and coping very hard' to 'he's DEEPLY confused' and the only reason I could be mad about it is that it was actually a really good haircut and I don't know if I can go back there now 😭😂
