i think at her core, thauma cannot move past the feelings of imposter syndrome, which i'm wondering if i want to make a holdover from azem 💭 they hide it differently in every reincarnation but it ultimately ends up pervading every aspect of their lives. and with this one it just happens to be a horrible coincidence that they're also the warrior of light. everything feels stumbled into rather than meaningfully chosen
Thanks @set2zero for the tag! I'm not exactly active on Tumblr in the sense of sharing much about myself, since this was primarily my space to archive my art. But it's always good to change things up every so often.
Last Book: Luna Express by Campbell Whyte for comics, Making of a Manager by Julie Zhuo for normal books.
Last Song: Origa - Cafe Vladivostok.
Absolutely musically beautiful, always reminds me of a cafe by the sea; mid afternoon sun rays dancing across the cobblestone pathway outside and you're watching life go by. This is my go-to song when I need to calm the soul (had a hard day yesterday).
Last Film: Wicked 2. I watch movies like, once a year in the cinema. Sorry I'm not really a movie person ^^;
Last Series: Good lord I can't remember– aside from the great lack of time, I am ALSO not a TV person so uh... maybe the last ever anime I recall watching was Romantic Killer on Netflix.
Salty or Sweet: Sweet. These days though, not too sweet (and that's a compliment for your desserts haha).
Coffee or Tea: In recent times I drink more coffee but this is simply hard to choose because I love both ;_;
Working on: Most recent batch of Jan'26 commissions, and hopefully I'd be able to draw a personal comic in time for CNY.
Also because @set2zero asked to share a character lore tidbit, why not– (excuse me for the incoming rambling)
Nata (my WoL): Seated at a secluded corner of Mosaic, Nata stares at her reflection in her coffee cup which has now gone cold.
He's just a linkpearl call away, but every time she reaches up to where it sits on her ears to reach out, her hands freeze. She hasn't seen hide or tail of her favourite dragoon since their brief reunion in Hhusatahwi, and while she understands that he's earned his due rest and wants to explore the rest of Etheirys on his own terms, she misses him. A whole lot. They both know their need for indepedence for a duration of time, but the recent events of staying a tad bit too long in Solution 9 has frayed her spirit and she longs for a good, long chat with her favourite person and taking a couple of swigs until daybreak the next day.
She isn't sure why she's hesitating, but for now, she downs her indecisiveness and remaining bitter coffee in one swift gulp.
Satay (my alt): Was employed as a Miner retainer with the WoL, Nata until she decided to terminate his employment at the end of Endwalker (dramatic kdrama split up? lol ok not really) but it’s mostly due to her ‘holiday’ in Tural and not knowing if she’d stringently continue being so active at crafting/gathering gear. In summary, Nata encourages him to explore the rest of Eorzea and Etheirys since he’s probably got enough savings to not work for years. All that gil from crafting Indagator gear and gathering materials? Worth it :P
Not tagging anyone because I don't really know many over here, but I hope you enjoyed that small bit of random talk from me!
