iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Let's ignore the emo elemental for a moment and imply things that annoy our normie girlfriend.

"A quote under a digital illustration of a sword: Or can’t a dryad um—”

“Uproot themselves? Only with a considerable amount of pain, difficulty and hassle.” Emily threw a sidelong glance at Tanis. “It’s no different than getting hitched, really. For richer or poorer, in dry rot and in health.”"

5 days to go, and we've got some very fun concept art to share!🌟 First up, Jade Zhang @yellghoul.bsky.social with concept art for "Irreparable Evolution" by K.C. Pickelsimer @kcpickelsimer.bsky.social in which a crew of archeologists discover an ancient city that isn't as empty as they thought.

A sketched illustration concept by Jade Zhang, in the ruins of an ancient city, a huge and monstrous harpy-like creature is perched on a half broken arch, looming over two tiny figures below.

Now the orange tree is kicking off any fruits that aren’t worth the energy to maintain and the husks from last year the first thing to drop, as the tree realises keeping them around would hurt more than harm its current efforts. Again, something observable there.

bzedan @bzedan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The orange tree has been holding onto the faded, hollowed out, crisp husk of an orange, right on the branch next to the rich green globes of its latest effort, which I suppose you could read as some sort of metaphor.

A graphic with a pastel gradient background that reads "Quatrefoil Tones." Below this are thirteen black-outlined squares labeled 1a through 5b that each house variants of quatrefoil tone patterns.
