I’ve wondered why I just don’t bluesky much. I guess became a replacement for fandom twitter . I don’t play games or look at much anime anymore so have little to discuss so just open up to make sure folks are ok and doing their usual stuff . Then I go back to reddit and read all the gloomy stuff

I've been trying to think through exactly what I want to keep from the creative space. I turned my creative instagram back on and posted for the first time in a long time. (www.instagram.com/elisaplumfai...) . I'll probably go ahead though and clean it up a bit!

still alive. It’s been very hard with school. Questioning whether this is the right path but must make it through the semester. Really miss just being a normal worker. But what can I do? Public health is still dead

The temptation to mass delete my posts is there . I’m fully committed to school . I don’t really play 14 and log in to save my house more or less . Barely gaming too because I lack the time. My main preoccupation these days is Korean variety shows

Happy belated New Year , although given this timeline it’s more like “I’m here 2026. Please try not to be worse than 2025.”

Still existing . Sewing for #labubu until class starts. Still trying to finish one more book about the psychological fallacies behind judgment and how it relates to economics . sigh

Not bad for about 6-7 weeks of sewing. Xd #labubu

Please tell me that we're also going to get a Gundam W movie just like SEED resurrected itself as a franchise with a film. THere's a lot of weird stuff in the very last few seconds including an unknown character (Heeros' dad? mentor?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iaE...

More sewing for dolls ! It’s incredible how many shirts one kid t-shirt can make! Also really please to find good flannel at a dollar store bin. Made some blankets and pillows for a little kid and their plush XD .

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

More #labubu sewing , under strict supervision of Sesame and Lychee. I discovered that jersey fabric is beyond me . I need a different needle or to add film to keep it from being eaten by the machine. … I’m getting very tired of providing for my big family of little girls xD

Ah I forgot to add part one of the High Museum exhibit which featured Ryoji Ikeda’s Dataverse . He also scored the soundscape inside the exhibit. Be careful as there’s strobing light in the opening of this montage of this and other exhibits which included American folk art.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

K-pop culture has also increased awareness of Korean art. Went to the High Museum yesterday for an exhibit of Kim ChongHak’s works . Beautifully vibrant, aware of the past, and determined to show Korean work as colorful and passionate. In all my years of going to US museums, this was a highlight.

ffxiv and Honkai both had livestreams today . Summarizing ffxiv one as “hats” and “Early August” . And HSR as “Phainon gimme” in less than two weeks. The story in HSR is honestly really good. As for the wrap up for FFXIV DT I guess we will have to see.

A few Fridays ago, went to pick lavender which is in season in June . Saw many dahlias which to me are new as a native midwesterner. One of the upsides of this weird situation I am in - is being able to go do something like this last minute . The lavender is now dried and turned into sachets.

Been slowly unfollowing all current events/news posts and putting them in a list to be pinned on my Sky account just so I can focus down more quickly on people I actually know on my "only posts" tab. I was finding myself just not tuning in at all on sky because it's starting to feel less relevant.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

The labubus need clothes . So I have forced myself to relearn how to use a machine after 30plus years or more. After I play around with this a few more days I’ll get back to writing / editing and reading a backlog of books .

050

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

wow . i like hardcover . given that the soft and hard cover price has narrowed wondering if should just drop paper .

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Not active in #ffxiv for a bit; things are still too weird in life and having this break is needed. But wish those of you in that sandbox well! Meanwhile, still playing HSR. (Free game is winning.) Yes, making books. Trying different covers for Paper and hardcover.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

I love these ugly babies. I think I need more. But I might just settle for giving them clothes.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

After putting this off almost ten years , I have finally read through approximately 179k words of an unfinished volume for a serial i was doing. I see now I need another few thousand words to wrap it up. then … more decisions.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Fumbling back through kofi to figure out how to set up sales within US only of remaining standees (First) and charms (next). I wish I had an easy "export" feature from Etsy (stare) but did find a way back into my closed shop to pick up the text that I had so labored over xD

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

My soon to be former coworker opened a family restaurant earlier in the year . And finally got to eat there for lunch . It was really good. Hoping for good business for them given our pending layoffs. Just watching how neighbors are finding their way there and bringing others is so motivating !

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

When you realize that what looked good for book covers ten years ago really doesn’t now . I love the cleaner and more typographic look of books these days . Not too sure about painted art .

Finally found something to replace my Weaver 2 theme from years ago that's idiot (me)-proof for my not finished serial talesofthebigbadwolf.com . I'll need to rescale some stuff and eliminate menus. Trying to make it mobile friendlier and if it works, guess I'll have to update headers xD

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

on a creative note - this month of being in a holding pattern means I will have time to review and edit the last book i had serialized and finish the notquite ending . i want to probably start the next book in such a way i can bring on a new audience . i’m not quite sure whether it will serialize

110

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Well I have done it . Applied to school . Now waiting on letters of recommendations to get in and then a decision in June. I’m probably too poor to apply to other programs here. If I don’t get in I have other plans forming . Meme doggy can go to hell . I will figure this out.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Dealing w/ bottom falling out of work, for the few that knew, now you know. Meanwhile I'm catching up on the tariff aftermath. I'm sorry merch community and small business community. This is crazy.

my #ffxiv game time is pretty limited now so am grateful that people are using tags that i can mute. but admittedly my timeline has changed to more news and politics as the US state of affairs has become volatile.

It's times like these that I find Bluesky jarring. Right now it's my main method to keep up with real news which is heavily censored or ignored by other social media platforms. But legacy-wise I follow the ffxiv fandom which is very apolitical for some reason but will wage war for character ships.

plumfairy - Elisa @plumfairy.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Extremely grateful to have Bluesky right now and that media has made its way here. Glad to see there are still voices who are speaking up.

I fell down the #HonkaiStarRail rabbit hole and ate through all MSQ on my break. Yeah that's kind of rushing but story (including sidequests) are really good (save 1) and the gacha isn't too obvious. Throne and Liberty didn't pan out for me (just not much content) so guessing I'm sticking w/this

Alphinaud and Alisaie are so small next to Estinien. Was this intentional ? Same company Xd .

Happy Starlight Celebration 🎁❄️ New chocobo barding is so cute..! #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxivart

An illustration of a yellow chocobo dressed in Christmas-themed barding against a dark red background. It is happily kweh-ing surrounded by mistletoe and standing on a pile of snow, a basket full of apples hanging from its neck. It is wearing a red and white hat with bells on the side of its head, and is carrying a barrel of mulled wine on its back. On top of it, a round Christmas decoration with a big red bow on it, sided by two bells and ridden on by a small squirrel with a Santa hat. Beside it, a tiny yeti is wearing reindeer horns and is delighted to be holding a teeny gift.

It's sad, but I felt like I was in that small small percentage of #ffxiv fandom that can actually answer this question because I am THAT person who buys all the books I can (sometimes in both JP and ENG): www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comm... Anyways it reminded me I never did flip thrus of the CE.
