the older you get, the more just existing on a base fcking level drains you. errands. chores. birthday gifts. listening. giving giving giving giving. it‘s expected. it‘s your only option if you want to stay alive in a way that matters.

Ramparts of Ice is so good!! Finally another school Shoujo anime that treats its characters with respect and digs into their psyche. They‘re so well written, it feels like they‘re real people. And I love the chibi-style interludes. ☃️💛

In two weeks, I‘ll travel to extended family over the weekend with my mom. And yes, I‘m already anxious as hell over it 😭 No wonder my friends have asked me in multiple ways if I have any trauma related to travel, bc most people do this FOR FUN

I follow lots of publishing houses for career reasons, and the state of the NA Romance genre never ceases to amaze me… just saw a „dystomance“ set AFTER WORLD WAR THREE where the 18yo heroine is the specialest soul on the planet and falls for her bodyguard. … WORLD WAR THREE

once again at a loss on what and how to post on my main IG account. it‘s comprised of adolescent THG fans, people I have worked with and am actively working with, some friends, oddballs, and an endless amorphous sea of strangers.

bro I seriously developed visceral trypophobia because of an AI generated street food menu yesterday… it was a „fish burger“ where the bun had a fish scale texture and salad that can only be described as pure 0% organic trypophobia.

After months of enduring loud bass-heavy music for hours on end at random times of day, I sent a message to the house neighbor group chat. Yesterday, 11:23 PM. Problem is, idk if my neighbors are to blame, and I know that the music is only audible in my BEDROOM (must be the cheap walls).

My super smart car app showed a problem with my car‘s automatic stopp-and-go function early on Saturday, so I spent the entire weekend lowkey worrying about making an appointment w/ a mechanic since I‘m also driving a total of 7 hrs this weekend. Guess what. The notification is gone. 😂

„your twenties THIS your twenties THAT“ no. Your twenties are for getting to know all kinds of exhaustion on a base level. So when the real abyss hits you at least already have a playlist and half a strategy ✌️✌️✌️

short vent; my extended family aren‘t huge fans of me. They are polite. But I do not belong like my cousins do. Well, I see their point though, now. I really don‘t do anything for the family when it matters. From their pov I‘m a spoiled brat who sometimes brings salad to family bbq.

Annecy Animation Festival over. Nothing to write home about. Suffered greatly because of the heat and sleep depravation. Feel empty. Deeply questioning if I belong in this industry.

After three months of no work, doing next to nothing, sustained by the hope that one major project works out, I feel like I‘ve finally woken up. Time to start hustling. No idea what I even did in March or April. Literally can only think of 3 memories. This changes now.

Just stumbled across this absolut masterpiece I made for @somniala.bsky.social and @straussdraws.bsky.social a couple of years ago. Silly art for silly friends 💖
Silly digital cartoon drawing of Somni (left) and Kathrin (right) holding Pokémon up in the air. Goomy and Poliwag.
