It's been at least 4 years since I played Chicory a Colorful Tale but I still remember certain parts that stuck w me. I didn't notice how the game's big reveal was foreshadowed really early on.

For @gamespot.com, I explored the Ocarina of Time remake's take on Sheik and how early impressions have left me fearful that his androgyny is being left behind. He's a character with nuanced queer history I hope Nintendo is at least slightly in tune with. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

Had the sudden urge to replay Chicory A Colorful Tale so I redownloaded it on Switch. It's still a Zelda-like game, with the bonus of being a giant coloring book.

Just a reminder that everyone is feeling the effects of this economy and administration, so when you see people traveling and shopping -- sure, some of them may have it like that, but not all of them. Credit card usage and financing are also through the roof. Some people have parental help, too.

I can't go to the movies as often as I would like, but I love seeing animated movies in theatres b/c it allows me to escape into whimsy, gorgeous art, & fun for a bit. And so, I'll be disappointed if I don't get the chance to see Forgotten Island b/c screenings are reduced.

🌸The ladies and Mog of Final Fantasy VI 🌸 🖌️: acrylic gouache+gouache on 300gsm watercolour paper I think this might be my favourite piece yet 💚💛❤️ ⟡ #finalfantasy ⟡ #FF6 ⟡ #art

Acrylic Gouache+gouache painting of the main female cast of Final Fantasy VI along with Mog
they're all floating to a black background with details of flower petals, white dots and opal-colored sprayed dots.

On top is Terra, a pretty young lady with green wavy hair, wearing her red dress with flower patterns, pink pastel stockings with flower patterns, pastel purple cloak and red boots with golden decals. She is sitting comfortably, and Mog is next to her.

Celes is sitting on the right side, wearing her Amano inspired outfit with a purple tank-top, yellow west and trousers and white boots with decals on it. She has long blonde hair, and wearing a fancy hair ornament.

To her right and in-front of Terra is Relm, a child with blond curly hair and a big smile. She is wearing a big red beret with pattern, a yellow cloak connected to her necklace, a black tank-top, red puffy trousers with star pattern and red boots. She is holding a big painting brush with her left hand.
