Both, not just one, but *both* bosses are out today at the "day job". Yippee!
Reports done, random meaningless crap addressed, and I'm done!
Par-tay time.
Well, actually, it's just easy time without surprise "urgent" issues that really are only urgent for a moment then are forgotten about, but only after the "urgent" issue disrupts real progress on real work...
Chronic illness, why are you like this?! So yeah, I been dealing with worsening Health issues lately. The main issue being feeling nauseous after eating, travel sickness, and nearly all the time for just breathing wrong…not fun. I dealt with some of these issues in a much smaller/lesser quantity a couple times growing up, but never this bad or all at once.
So yeah, It’s horrible and its making functioning very hard ☹️
EDS is known to cause those types of issues, so I suspect it’s related to that . I got a doctors appointment later this week, so hopefully I can get help understanding what’s going on/get relief. GI issues/other disorders, like PoTs, often coexist alongside EDS I heard so, not that crazy of a leap to think this is connected 😞
I don't have the energy rn to answer a bunch of asks atm. ^^; but I still live and for the most part! It's been a nice week! I found a new video game to quietly devour my time, but on the plus side a nice video game break has made the muses start chatting to me again so Progress™.
Now if Certain Individuals™ would either GO AWAY or just develop a conscience and realize they are being unnecessarily terrible and rude to people who have literally never done anything to them, that would be great.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can definitely buy me lots of cool art as a birthday present to myself 😁
... Almost exclusively fandom related, obviously 😊
Look at the prettiiiiiiiies! (now I just need to decide where to put the stickers and wear to hang the prints 😱)
Close-up and details about why I bought each one (as well as credits) under the cut 😄
Unless stated otherwise, I got these from Redbubble :). I'll tag tumblr / link insta / link redbubble (in this order), just in case you want your own
I want to survive this world that keeps trying to destroy me - quote from Ninth House, by Leigh Bardugo. I read the book, loved it, and I too want to survive this world, whatever it throws at me. Amazing art by ruiazevedo.
Tattooed Ginny, tattooed Harry, tattooed Sirius. @savysami's beautiful work to imagine which tattoos different characters would get, and how they'd look. Sirius is full on bad boy vibes, but also some gorgeous soft tattoos. Ginny is her awesome badass self. And I couldn't not get Harry 😁. Got those as stickers in 5.5x5.5", cos I couldn't afford more prints, but I'm definitely hanging them up instead of sticking them xD. Bought those off of her website ^^
“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing” - quote from Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo. This one isn’t inspirational, I swear xD. It’s just very representative of Kaz, and I love him, sooo... Also, can we talk about the design of this crow’s head cane? It’s just gorgeous! Art by bookishartuk
Ace Planet is a cross stitch I did a very long time ago, but I meant to change where it was display so on the bed it went xD. Pattern bought on etsy from @mathysphere 😊
No Mourner No Funerals sticker by loshimizu. Wanted something for my favorite crows, and this was just perfect. The "if you know, you know" kind of fandom references I love. Also, fits with the other stickers on my laptop, since they're all just black xD
Let Them Rest by @gryzdolnik. You probably wouldn't tell seeing it like this, but those legs belong to Joe and Nicky 😁. But firstly, I know exactly who are those two person enjoying a well-deserved break. Secondly, this drawing radiates peace, and that's much needed right now, imo 😊
We're Meant To Find Each Other, sticker by silentcomedy. Speaking of everyone's favorite incurable romantics... The swords... The quote... Simple, but very efficient design representing them :D
Howl's Moving Castle's scenery by c.detective.momo. Got this as a greeting card cos money, but will definitely display it as a print. I love that it's just pretty... But also taken from my favorite Ghibli movie ever, you know? 😁
Kodamas by ninich. Small but oh so cute. Look at me showing off my love for Princess Mononoke by sticking them everywhere 😇
You've already seen it, the cross stitch-a-long by @mathysphere is done and going up on my wall 😁.
(second picture ;))
The headbonk of looooove. How could I not get a printed version of this art that was done for me by @gryzdolnik? 😁 Headbonks are Joe and Nicky's love language, clearly :D
Red Princess by Onichi. Howl's Moving Castle might be my favorite Ghibli, but Princess Mononoke isn't far behind. I love the paint splatter effect, as well as the three colors theme. Very fierce representation of San 😊
Tattooed Percy and Annabeth, also by @savysami. Do I need to explain? First, the look really really good together. Second their tattoos are gorgeous. Lastly, the meaning behind those tattoos is beautiful. Including Percy getting stick-and-pokes because he's impulsive like that 😁. Also bought directly from her shop.
Allons-y by PasteBaby. Listen. I'm French. Every time the doctor goes "Allons-y", I giggle, and mentally finish the sentence with "Alonzo". Also look at the prettiness of those sweet pea flowers, which according to the design's description represent goodbye. Hm? My eyes? Nah, that's just a bit of dust from moving stuff around
Alex Stern by @oblivionsdream. It's very fitting for this print to be the last in the description, because it also was the last in my cart. I had told myself I was done, no buying anything else, that was enough. But then I saw this representation of Alex Stern, the main character from Ninth House, and I just fell in love. It's both exactly how I imagined her, and even better 😍.
And that's it xD. If anybody's still here, thanks for reading. I tried to make it fun, but I also really wanted to give credit where credit is due, cos this is some pretty amazing art 😍
