I'm alive, it's just that the Sims 2 had its claw in me for the last week or so!! But I'm BACK and I'm BETTER THAN EVER! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ ♡

easy link since Neocities pushed the update back: https://inkcaps.neocities.org/bedroom/diary/summer2024/

Happy father's day weekend to you as well!! The end result you got with the layered images is really, really pretty! (maybe I should try too?!) Enjoy the Sims gameplay loop!!!

@amy ahhh thank you for your kind words! You should totally give the layered images a shot, it's much easier than it looks honestly! And I WILL, I think I might play a bit when I get home work haha! ;u; ♡

the little mouse in the corner ;-;

@faintlymacabre the little mouse is my favorite, he's sooo cute!! ; __ ;

This update got me even MORE in the summertime spirit than I already was. That father's day meal sounds so perfect and delicious I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Yay @chey, I'm so happy to hear that! Your diary entries have done same for me, so let's make this an awesome season! Excited to hear about what you get up too, and I'll definitely report back about how the dinner goes ♡♡

Ahhhh thank you soooo muuuuch again to everybody who asked me questions for my Q&A, they were super fun to answer!! ;w; Let me know what you think of my answers, and feel free to ask anymore questions if you'd like! :D ♡♡

All your answers were so interesting and enchanting to read. I especially liked what you said about mysticism. That quality you felt was inherent in you is one I've actively been trying to cultivate in my adulthood. It's a trait I admire!

@chey I'm so happy you enjoyed reading, and thank you again for your intriguing questions! I wanted my answers to do them justice. I wish you luck with cultivating that outlook though, it's a really rewarding way to live! Always happy to chat about it as well ;u; ♡

The page for my Tohru cosplay is up! Tell me what you think :D https://inkcaps.neocities.org/studio/sewing/cosplay/tohru/

tohru was one of my biggest childhood heroes!! you did an amazing job! <3 i'm especially impressed with the striped details on the lapel and tie

Very well made! You're talented at sewing

Oh this page is great so far! I love how you discussed the personal meaning behind the costume, too. Sure, cosplay is just for fun, but you chose Tohru for deep reasons. It makes me wanna read Fruits Basket finally heheh... Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing more pics!!! And more costumes!!!!!!! Aerith when!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@shydeer you're so very kind, thank you!! We can all strive to be more like Tohru honestly!! ;w; I'm very happy with how the ribbon brightens everything up~ ♡♡

@amy ahhhh thank you, you're really sweet!! ♡♡

@flonne thank you so much!! my favorite cosplays are always the ones where I love the character as much as the character's design! it feels so much more personal that way, and and an extension of the storytelling too! ;w; AND ACTUALLY my Aerith cosplay IS almost done and I have a lot more pictures of the process for her too... she'll be the next cosplay page for sure! ♡

I updated my photo log and applied for mythology themed clique, but the biggest addition is my new diary entry! Tell me if you feel like there's this big collective shift towards change or if I'm just crazy sdfsdf https://inkcaps.neocities.org/bedroom/diary/spring2024/

First time reading one of your diary entries, because your comment regarding 'change' hit really strong with some vERy huge changes in my own life recently! Everything from family moving out, new responsibilities, new job, new approaches to my work online, and several others besides x0x So's been intimidating at the very least, I'm ready for a nap after all's said an done lol.

Also the formatting and style of your diary like many of your other pages is just really comfy and inviting <3

yeah im needing to change some shit in how i spend my day-to-day energy / my habits / whatever... end up feeling so spun out sometimes in a lowkey awful way. and the world at large being so intense too

@pira wowwww I do not blame you in the slightest for wanting a nap in the slightest! That sounds like a ton to deal with, especially all at once! Wishing you well through this ;w; ♡ And thank you so much for your words, that means a lot to hear!! My goal is to create an inviting environment, and you're always welcomed to visit anytime!! ♡♡

@sneekrealm the little things we do each day play a huge part in our overall mood honestly. Intense is a great word to describe how things feel right now too tbh, and on such a large scale

oh yeah life has been crazy lately! i started dating my girlfriend this month, and i'm making prints of my art to sell! lots of cool and exciting change! - j
