just downloaded the free trail of paint tool sai so to break it in i did some headshots of most of my ttrpg pcs (mostly d&d with one monster of the week)

quick breakdown of who they are under the cut for those who aren’t familiar:

tegan, sami, & karasa are all in the same world, karasa for a side game.  -tegan is a half-elf life domain cleric but her stealth score is higher than our rogues bc of her past. she was the first pc for that campaign but she tapped out for awhile and was replaced by sami. -sami is an aasimar oath of ancients paladin. sami recently left to go make a life for himself (aka seek out a relationship with an npc) and tegan recently returned with a s2 outfit change. -karasa (lord karasa the unkillable hehe) is a tiefling bardlock (hexblade warlock + college of lore bard multiclass). they were a pirate and now they’re a reluctant aunt figure. tragic backstory, makes a lot of power moves. was shanked by a child. 

-henriette was a pc in a campaign but i took over dm’ing so she’s an npc now. human fighter/barbarian, knight in shining armor. kicked a tree in half. rapunzel-esque backstory + romeo & juliet past romance that resulted in a secret kid. the secret was revealed so i dont feel bad about saying it here.

-rowan’s the monster of the week guy. he’s a fence inspector ;) goes by eric diesel or frankie ‘jet’ jets. can read minds. gets whomped every session. loves his boys.

- stick, petal, and maya are oneshot pcs. it’s a system i don’t feel like explaining. stick was a shifter barbarian but he died. petal is a wood elf monk but i stopped using her cause i didn’t ~vibe~ with her which is a shame bc her design slaps. maya is a half-elf eldritch knight. she’s 16 years old and lawful evil. is out to get power and enact personal vengeance. her design is fun too and playing her is fun bc she’s nasty.

i had one dwarf fighter in early 2017 but i dont remember her well enough to draw her. and most recently i have an npc who’s functioning like a player character in an active game. but i ran out of drawing steam. his name is noel, he’s a human barbarian. basic boy with good stats.

Oh, what a great day we had yesterday!

We had my work Christmas party at the zoo, and it was such a fun time! We got there around 3:30, and we started off my getting some yummy soft pretzels and buying some better gloves, because ours weren't cutting it! It was definitely a cold one yesterday. Then we made our way over to the penguins and reptile building (once again, to keep warm). We rode the carousel 2 times, and then made our way to the pavilion where we were all meeting for the party.

There was such delicious food; there was a nacho bar, mini hamburgers and mini hot dogs, mac and cheese, a s'mores bar! After we got our fill of food, we went back out to see the lights, and it was snowing!!!! It was beautiful. 🥹❄️ We rode the train and saw the elephants, and then it was time to head back into the building to warm up with some hot chocolate! By that time, it was nearing 9pm, so we bundled back up and got back to our car and drove home.

I fell on the couch immediately into an unbelievably comfortable position and fell asleep within 20 minutes probably. I woke back up after midnight and saw that Rowan was passed out next to me. 😆

📖 BOOKS: I am reading (but almost done with) In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren. I'm not sure what to read next?! Another holiday rom-com, or one of my many fantasy titles I need to read?!

🎵 MUSIC: On the way to the zoo yesterday, I made everyone listen to my "new music playlist" on Apple Music, and the first song that played was "Depression Season" by Atreyu & Kayzo... it's a confusing song about depression, but you can headbang to it a little, and at one point we kind of felt like we were in a rave. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it was just so funny because Isaac brought up that fact that it's a head-bopper about mental illness, and I said, "Only the mentally ill will think that's hilarious," as I cackled incessantly! 🤣 And Isaac said, "Well I guess I'm not mentally ill," but then I one-upped him by saying he's definitely mentally ill because he's been with me for 11 years. 😂🤣

📺 TV: N/A

I wanted to get a lot more done before I went to bed tonight, but it looks like that's just not gonna happen! 🤪 My old ass is T-I-R-E-D.

Today was eventful. Left work at noon, picked up my grocery pick-up order, went home and unloaded groceries, and gathered *everything I needed for taking newborn pictures.

*I did NOT grab everything.

I got there and realized I forgot the most important thing: my camera!!! 🙄 What a dumb dumb. So ran back home, got my camera, went back — and that took an additional half hour. Was there for about an hour and a half; Isaac picked up Rowan on his way home from work, and I maybe beat them home by 10 minutes.

And my new backpack came in the maaaail! 😍 It's so pretty, and spacious, and since this one feels much more sturdier than my last, I'm going to start carrying my camera in it so I always am prepared to take the shot! 📸 I'm excited to utilize it tomorrow. 😁

I also made some delicious vegetable gnocchi soup tonight & it was delicious (I had three bowls...)

And now... I bid thee goodnight. 😴

Good evening, friend. I'm 𝐘𝐀𝐖𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆, and it literally just turned 10pm. It most certainly is time for bed, but just wanted to recap the day.

Work was fine, and Rowan had an amazing day at school — so thankful for that! So we got to go to the park after school/work and what luck we had that the park turned on their Christmas lights almost immediately after we arrived!! It was so pretty, and Rowan was having fun; he even interacted with a couple of kids there. 🥰

He let me take some fun pics too! (see below)

READING: only read to 63% in House of Sky and Breath, so not much progress, but tomorrow I'll be better!

MUSIC: been listening to a lot of music tonight — mostly VRSTY's Welcome Home album! 😍 got lastfm? follow me!
