Health is getting a little better (with some sharp backslides) and I'm making more progress on my Rubrics! Life often feels like trying to patch up a leaky ship that keeps getting new holes, but there's little nice things along the way! (Please ignore how dirty my laptop is it goes everywhere! :'D)

As desperately as I wanted to, as much as I wanted to, I've made the difficult choice to likely not retun to streaming this summer. I'll still post my minis progress and art here, but I have some health shit I DESPERATELY need to work through and its in my best interests not to return yet.

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

So far so good! Neko is gonna join me tonight for a chill SWTOR stream tonight while we just do some objective grinding and chatting! Looking to do some art streams this summer and maybe mini painting if I can get a cam set up. Looking into music for art streams too so it isn't silent while I work!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Should my head not be hurting tomorrow, I will very likely be returning to streaming for the summer! I'm looking at Tuesdays (5pst) that I don't have D&D and Thursdays (6:30pst) every week. Games are TBD so we'll see what we end up with!

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

So uhhh... Remember Rasui from about a month ago? Weeeeell, at some point in his plotline he ends up making a deal with Tzeentch so of course I had to cook up a daemon-y design for him cause why not? Goes by Aasar in this form. (I have more notes but I can't do all my jabbers in one post. :'D)

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Baby's first few Warhammer minis! (I did Ahriman too, because I love that disaster, but I don't have any good pics of him yet). Still learning things (go easy on meeee), but having fun! Probs could have started with something easier but I really like the Thousand Sons. :')

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Today on "what did we learn?" gaming shenanigans, Shimos learned to save often juuuust in case they say something wrong and lose a companion they love. :') (I'm sorry Heinrix, I'll replay from the beginning of the area since I just have an auto-save and be less of a butt. :'))

100

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Also, I have decided NOT to stream this summer till we get the AC set up on the office. My laptop has heating problems and I think most games that I stream aside from Pokemon will probably kill it. Rogue Trader last night was even kind of dicey. Soooo yeah. :')

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Rogue Trader Shenanigans: Me: I've been doing a shockingly good job being very reasonable in the grimdark game! *someone tries to kill Cassia* Me: ...Soooo, executing her for trying to kill the sweet Navigator. Yeah? (I have failed at my job of being somewhat reasonable. :'D)

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

SWTOR Sunday from the old days is coming back for one week! Tomorrow at 1pm PST, Neko and I are gonna blind stream the newest patch! Come hoin us for screams, Sheems updates, and the usual shenanigans! :)

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Been gremlin-ing my way through Rogue Trader as my current game playthrough. DELIGHTED that my idiot psyker gets a bird and that the devs let him attempt to pet the bird. 10/10! :'D (Working on simplified designs of the main comps right now so I can doodle some comics of stuff that has happened!)

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

...Look at me being brave and posting recent Shimo art of my Warhammer 40k boy despite me being embarrassing and thinking he's a little cringe-y despite living by cringe is dead! :'D ....If y'all look at the tumblr version. I rambled so hard. You are spared by character limit here. :')

130

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

...Given I've spent the lat two hours at work pouring through lore t work and my brain is now mush I made a meme to call myself out. :'D

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

On the note of personal projects! While I am planning to post more art here on occation, you'll get the most out of that from my art/writing tumblr here! Come follow that if you wanna see what I draw alongside my writen works in more detail than I can ramble on here! leapofthekoi.tumblr.com

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

SWTOR devs said end of May last livestream sooo should have a new stream date soon for the last Legacy of the Sith patch! Summer Stream dates are still tbd, and may not start up till late June. I've been... so tired and could use some time for my own projects before getting back into things.

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

...When my brain stops hyperfixating on my Warhammer boy for five minutes might start sketching the other guardian mages that are flitting around ideas-wise in my head. We'll see!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Finally finished lining this so yay! New character art coming together! May have more jabbers later and I need ANOTHER ref sketch for another idea on top of the two on this sheet, but hey! We goin'! :'D

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

...I have three whole sketch sheets for my idiot sanctioned psyker boy. I swear I can fall gently into new interests. :'D (I can't line and color till I get a hold of the scanner at work tomorrow but I wanna so baaad! Post migraine clarity is a blessing and a curse!! :'D)

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

I can really only stream during the Summer nowadays, so figured I'd start sharing the writing and art I do in the meantime. This one is of my new SW5e character, Lord Taral! More details in tumblr link since I can't type a ton here. :') www.tumblr.com/leapofthekoi...

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

...I did not have crying like a baby over a scene in a Warhammer 40k book on my bingo card for today YET HERE WE ARE! Ahriman giving up his symbol of his brother to the sorrows guy smacked me in the gut and I am happy I wasn't at work when I read that part! (New hyperfixation, may ramble. :'D)

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Me, after the Artemis streams: Wait. NASA needs media people. I'm getting a media degree. I COULD DO VIDEO WORK FOR NASA OHMYGOD! (This is now life goals y'all!)

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Been looking at photos, videos, and news of the Artemis II launch since I missed it on Wednesday and legit tearing up at it all! A beautiful event! I hope they all make it home safely and collect good data and more beautiful footage! The one of Earth is amazing! www.bbc.com/news/article...

My wrist is doing far better now than it was in the past few months! Even got to finish the Darth Marr 3d print my dad got me to paint for Christmas! Very Delighted! :D

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Expect so many pics and vidoes of the tank and fishies, I am super duper excited to decide what to stock it with! I know khuli loaches and a betta for sure!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

I'm super excited! We went to the fish store today and I got advice on how to set up my planted tank! Guy was super nice and friendly about answering all my questions on what kinda plants to use, filtration system, and how to get the cycle going! So gonna get started on that soon!! :D

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Follow up to yesterday's repost, I saw the full list of places today, not just the well known ones. Many are VERY precious to me, and aren't old enough to be protected from anything (not that I think that would actually help). So please, if you see that post and can, leave a comment. Thanks.

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Hello y'all, I don't post political stuff here much, or at all. I try to avoid it. But this issue is very dear to me. These are the forests I grew up running around in and love dearly. If any of you can offer words of encouraging this not come to pass, I greatly implore that you do so. Thanks!

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

3:30 PST today I make a brief return to stream the latest SWTOR story! Also known as: "Sitting back helplessly as I watch Saris DO THINGS and scream!" :'D (The joys of comitting to in character choices only. :')) Come on in and join us! Drops will be enabled!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Hey. Hey. Hey. I have been out of commission because CLASSES but I'm gonna be streaming new SWTOR patch with Neko on Saturday! Time TBD. Am excited!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

I can't add onto posts to make the chain on mobile because my buttons are all messed up! So follow up to the last post: I look forward to the little times I can pop back in and vibe with y'all and cherish every moment I have! It brings me a lot of joy to just know I have the energy to do so!

010

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

I said I was gonna come back last winter break, that wasn't entirely a lie, it WAS the plan but I got smacked by exhaustion and a hurt wrist. Wrist is still healing, but you can expect me to stream next SWTOR patch blind for sure! I won't be coming back full schedule till summer though.

010

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Hello hello! And apologies for the silence. School term and illnesses have been kicking my ass, but the end of the term is coming and with winter break I shall return! I'm lowkey planning the same schedule I had in the summer with possible exceptions and move arounds for the holidays.

110

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

hello all! Forgot to post this here along side the discord, whoops! After going through the first week and understanding my course workload, I've had to make the choice NOT to do scheduled streams this fall. There may be surprise days, but nothing during.

100

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Hello all! I will be taking a two-week break at minimum as the school term is kicking back up and I'm going to be DRAINED from work going back into sudden full swing and getting used to my new schedule. I'll pick dates/times for stream days as I start to ease in so stay tuned for when that happens!

010

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Announcment for tonight's stream! Tonight's regularly scheduled SWTOR at 5:00pm PST is going to be interrupted for a collab with my buddy @mercuriodeleone.bsky.social where we'll be playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes! ...It will be a mess, tune in for screams and shenanigans! :'D

I've recovered decently enough from whatever the heckie I caught that I'll be streaming tonight! Inquisitor questline in SWTOR with my self-insert is a go! Looking forward to it!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

In regards to last post: I apologize as always for this manner of thing, but my health isn't the best, and it's always wise to listen to your body when it's telling you to not. Always take care of yourselves and don't push too hard and make things worse!

000

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

No Monday stream this week. Woke up feeling rather ill despite having a lovely (for the most part) weekend. HOPEFULLY will be feeling okay Wednesday for SWTOR stream with the Inquisitor questline start.

Shimo Ryu @shimoryu.bsky.social · 04/09/2025
