so a Mabinogi event ends at 6AM

It’s an event where you just idle in one place and make event items generate so you can trade them in for stuff.  I guess I should’ve left the game running overnight.  But now I have way too much of the stuff you use to make the thing, and if I go to bed now with the game running I’ll DEFINITELY wake up at like noon and not be able to trade the items in for prizes.  So I’m gonna stay up a while.  But I can’t play Mabinogi because I’m doing the event and actually playing would interrupt that.

I played myself!!!  I’m trapped awake and not allowed to do my current procrastination so now I gotta draw instead!  Amazing how life works.  Here’s a picture of Tikkety being off-model.

I’m going to bed.  While Mael the great dead prince is the shard of deeds, his twin Tikkety is the shard of tasks.  She is the sweet steady undercurrent of a life properly lived, of chores completed and order restored.  She is golden, shining, representative of sleep and the dreaming world which restores vitality to both the breath and the mind.  The waking world is dead, somber, with bold and sudden strikes of conscious action.  The dreaming world is fantastical but woven through with the nobility of routine maintenance.  The scent of bread baked and laundry dried.

Mael enjoys the purpose of narrative, the progression of events that represent both progress and the human condition, culminating in a climax of Things That Happened.  Tikkety likes puzzles.  She follows the logic to a satisfying conclusion but the journey takes many steady turns.  Numbers are kept and motions are balanced, culminating in a completion of Things You Do.

Deeds done without the maintenance of tasks becomes exhaustion.  Tasks done without the objective of deeds becomes contempt.  The sun and the moon take turns in the sky because we need them both.

She collects the imagery of the unicorn but personally sees herself in the mouse.

Night is the healing period that sorts and organizes the stresses of the day through dreaming.  Me getting away from the computer to go do the dishes is like dreaming for the house.  I grant the kitchen a pleasant dream of warm soap and shiny pans, imbuing it with energy to complete the deed of MAKING DINNER at some point later maybe!

normal brain: monster people

galaxy brain: humanized forms of those monster people

for the record these are siblings so when they’re not technicolor zombie vampires they have more or less the same hair and skin tones
