15 questions

Thank you for the tag @foolishcatalyst !

Are you named after anyone? Not really. My mother just liked how the name sounded, and it's related to an Opera she likes ? She also likes the story of the saint who shares the same name as me, but I don't think she named me this way because of her.

When was the last time you cried? 3 weeks ago I think ?

Do you have kids? No.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? I don't think so ? People tend to have a hard time guessing if I'm being sarcastic or not, so I just say exactly what I think now.

What's the first thing you notice about people? Their hair.

What's your eye color? Light brown ? It's "hazel" in my passport.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings ! I can appreciate a happy ending anytime, while I need to feel 100% ok in order to watch a scary movie.

Any special talents? Define special and define talent ? 😅 I don't think so.

Where were you born? France

What are your hobbies? Drawing, sewing, cooking/discovering new places to eat at, gaming

Do you have any pets? Yes 🥺 Opale my beloved

What sports do you play/have you played? If they're not team sports, can I say I play them ? I have been skiing since I was 6 (The first ski slopes are a 20min drive from where I live)... I've done some scuba diving, ballet, figure skating, krav-maga.... Now I just go to the gym twice a week 🙃

How tall are you? 5′ 9"

Favorite subject in school? Biology. I liked music and art classes too when I still had those.

Dream job? Something where I could make things that I find pretty, while helping the community with environmental issues. Yeah idk either how I'll find something like this. Probably something related to awareness campaigns ig

🦇 I'm not tagging this as the silly vampire show's name so I don't add to the current tags chaos 😅

I'm glad some people liked the finale ! I'm a bit more reserved...

Do not click read more if you haven't seen the finale !

I actually loved the genuine moments between Guillermo and Nandor. The end with the secret lair was really cute ! It's probably my favorite part of the episode with Nadja being very present and funny this week.

But personally the laugh tracks in the hypnosis and the fact that it wasn't really anything meaningful to the actual story really made me feel like the writers were making fun of the fans for wanting *some* nandermo.

Like it could only happen in an entierely unrelated different show. "Haha no way it would make sense with actual Guillermo and Nandor. What a silly idea !"

It wasn't very fun to me :< It's not the characters I know, with the story we've seen, and it wasn't treated with the care I would expect from a finale.

And also ???? A casual MAGA joke ??? Way to ruin a character 😭

So it kind of killed my creative drive sadly 😅I was planning on making a cute little end clap animation but now I don't really have the motivation to do that for now.

Maybe later ? But for now I feel sad that one of my favorite show, a safe place, made me feel embarassed for wanting something as a fan.

And while I am a diehard nandermo fan, I never really cared that much about a Nandermo canonisation. I liked episode 10, and having them being best bros is fine by me :') It's just... The whole joking around an actual queer relationship feels bad for me.

And they didn't even hug asdfghj

Anyway,

I love the fandom theories and ideas so I'll probably keep enjoying the show through you all's stories and fanarts ❤️ I met wonderful people here and I hope this space will stay fun and creative after the finale storm calms down.

To everyone, but especially artists : Instagram has fully leaned into the AI craze and has now scraped every existing account to train their new Meta AI.

In response, artists are migrating en masse to this new social network called Cara.app. It’s a mix of Instagram/Bluesky/Twitter, and is focused on artists with a complete ban on AI generated content. They also try as much as possible to block scrapers to use the site’s data, and have a partnership with glaze that allows you to protect your art posts.

You can also choose what you see in your feed based on percentages of following/recommended content, and so far it has been incredible for discovering new artists !

Like many, I am trying it out right now. I really enjoy the community, and hope this great project keeps on living !

Join me there, at https://cara.app/tapiocats 💕

I'm not leaving Tumblr btw !

Just trying out an Instagram alternative 😄

The buttons are made from coconut shells and the print is long lasting, high definition.

Everything is 100% drawn by myself, with elements reminiscent from each show.

New items to come on my shop soon too 👀 !
