had an appointment today (with the actual government people not the intensive work search program they sent me to) and bless her, even she was like "idk why they even booked you in today" because I'm STILL waiting for my assessment 8 months later ("3 month wait" btw)

I always 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to participate in inktober but I'm genuinely so bad at drawing traditionally because I more or less have aphantasia I can't visualise the anatomy I want to put on the page, I 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to tweak it after it's down Lasso/Transform/Liquefy are solely responsible for me getting anatomy right

I'm really torn between keeping the other new WIP a secret bc I know it's a popular piece and I think it could be fun to go "Surprise! It's the upscale you've been wanting!" or blabbing about all the intense work I'm doing to get all the toggles (SO many) I want to make function without holes

Earlier this week I was thinking about how much I love my fountain pen but I'd love to have multiple ink colours on the go at once, hm, maybe I should add one to my wish list... ...however if the gift I just received is anything to go by, I already did way back when I made it LOL thanks past lighty

I love how many of these WoL QotD posts I come across like "what would your WoL do if-" "how would your WoL react to-" Tears. the answer is tears. I don't think I can stress enough how much of a crybaby Spicey is, especially around people she trusts.

ehehe... hi I've had a rough month. I was already having a Rough Time™ before my sub ran out and money was too tight to deal with it, so I've spent like 2-3 weeks hiding from everyone and everything 😳 So I'm sorry for being so quiet

Lighty @fightylighty.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Sorry this one took so long, I kinda... 👉👈 couldn't afford my sub this month... But I think how much I loved making this enough to make up for it~ ✨ heliosphere.app/mod/tc4htydw... www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/169810 ko-fi.com/s/a1414cd151

hehe... I may have gone a little hard on new leaf between migraine naps and anti-nausea breathing exercises (guh) already got 33 bugs and 39 fish and enough bells to pay off the second loan and my house hasn't even been expanded yet 😁 oh and two pink hybrid flowers already too!

when I was a wee babby gposer I used to pose Spicey's li'l feather hairpin expressively like it was animal ears or something and then I stopped bc "that's goofy and it wouldn't work like that" ...but it was 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦. and I'm tempted to bring it back bc rule of ̶c̶o̶o̶l̶ cute

there's been way too many of those "save my child/friend in Gaza, fundraiser in pinned post" bots reposting my shit recently... buddy I don't even have the money to feed myself the vast majority of the time, you're barking up the wrong tree

Lighty @fightylighty.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

a lot of the migraines I've had recently haven't been particularly painful, but they've somehow been... worse like they've only been a 4-5/10 as opposed to 8+/10, yet they're somehow more unbearable than the painful ones it's a different kind of pain, I suppose. lower in the eye socket, duller.

...i really miss having a best friend. it feels like it's been forever since i clicked with someone like that. life's a lot less lonely when there's someone you really vibe with alongside you ᶠᵉᵉˡˢ ᵉˣᵗʳᵃ ˡᵒⁿᵉˡʸ ʷʰᵉⁿ ʸᵒᵘ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗᵒ ˢᶦᵗ ᶦⁿ ᵃ ᶜᵃˡˡ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵖᵉᵒᵖˡᵉ ʷʰᵒ ᵛᶦᵇᵉ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵃⁿᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ᵗᵒᵒ

even though shipping was a nightmare I did get my little early birthday present to myself 🥺 apparently I can't play new horizons without some connecting/game share shenanigans since my partner and I no longer share a switch, and I didn't think it would quite scratch the itch anyway...

Lighty @fightylighty.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

mood disorders are so fucking insidious because i can't tell if i'm rightfully upset about something or if it's just a flare-up/medication mishap doing all the feeling for me not being able to trust your own perception of an event is just so... disorienting.

Lighty @fightylighty.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

if you're going to put up a PF to farm BST summons and lock a spot to healer, at least have the decency to offer to swap so the healer can get it too, rather than waste an hour of their time because you want to grind exp instead??

Lighty @fightylighty.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I've been so cranky the past few days and I'm not even really sure why 😭 there's certainly been a lot of annoying things happening but I'm not sure if all of that warrants this level of cranky... I'm sure BST is fun but I can't muster the energy to care... maybe I forgot my meds at some point... 😑

idk how I feel about that Ocarina of Time remake tbh. The environments look nice, but the characters... give me AI-ish uncanny valley feel. There is such a thing as too much detail, lmao. Plus... it's just OoT again. Believe me, I LOVE to replay games. But not when it costs me ~£460 (w/ console)

I promised a sinday post... this one's been a brainworm for a whiiillleeee. I will never be free of the chokehold posing lip biting has on me 🫣 now if u'll excuse me I must hide away and pretend I've never had an impure thought in my life

Spiced and Ginger in bed together. Both are still in their underwear, though Spiced's panties are halfway down her leg. She's on her front, propped up on one elbow and looking over her shoulder at Ginger, who is leaning over her with a hand between her legs. Ginger's other hand is tilting Spiced's face up to look at them, their expression mischievous, as if cooing and teasing her. Spiced is looking up at her, pleading, smiling and biting her lip while cradling the hand on her chin.

the xiv writing event looks cute and fun and I do wish I spent more time writing... but devoting more than like an hour or two to any creative thing that isn't upscaling feels overtly indulgent

brat cat (who hasn't been partial to sitting in my lap since he was about 4-5 months) decided to sit in my lap several times today only to bite me whenever I try to use my keyboard or mouse. and also when I pet him. and when I ignore him. I'm trying to work!!! brat cat!!!!! nibbly beast!!!

i think that was the most depressing appointment with these restart/back to work people (which i still have to go to. because they still havent booked me a capability for work assessment.) i know basically nothing they have to do with me is intended for people with long term health problems but.

I'm not. doing good right now. I'm trying real hard to just keep trucking on like usual but I don't think I'm doing a particularly good job of it.. really I just want to sleep until I cease to exist. so if you need something and I seem weird or quiet or whatever. that's why.

my dyshidrotic eczema has been flaring up super bad since the move (the kind that gives you super tiny blisters on your hands, particularly the sides of fingers) no matter how much I moisturise 😢 It seems to favour the creases of my pointer fingers and it makes them SO sore to bend
