people say that vanilla ice cream is best because it's a good base for toppings but genuinely name a topping that pairs well with vanilla but not chocolate

#might just not be thinking of anything bc I am a chocolate loyalist and wouldn't even think of toppings that wouldn't pair well #I often buy chocolate ice cream for the explicit purpose of adding toppings. it is the perfect base #but also now that I'm thinking about it I think most flavours of ice cream would pair well with most toppings #only bad base flavour I can think of is mint bc mint doesn't usually mesh with fruit very well

pk2 is doonnnnneee and I'm so happy 😁 she's a little too delicate to take out travelling with me but she's a fun desk buddy. said desk needs a long-due cleanup now lol

#man its been over a year you've been working on this hell yeah hell yeah

idk if people on the engaging with fandom spaces website can relate to this but do you ever watch or play something so good by yourself and then you're like. shit I have to deal with having watched/played that by myself. I have nobody to share this with who would appreciate it

#maybe it's just because I'm not a ship or fanfic enjoyer #usually when I partake in fandom it's either a thing you can be very creative with like AC #a thing with lots of room for speculation like oooh what's gonna happen next #or something with lore that you can really dig into #but sometimes something is just a good story with good characters. the story is done there aren't really any loose threads #nowhere left to go other than just playing with the characters which is. Not Really My Thing

this was actually a redraw of this piece from 2014:

I still use this old piece as my blog.tumblr.com background and one of my desktop wallpapers

✨🍂✨

#feeling kinda so-so about how this turned out but it's mostly bc I really really really did not want to work any harder on that bridge #and also bc my tastes are so different from what they were 10 years ago #if this wasn't a redraw there are things about this that I just wouldn't draw today bc it's not my style #mostly orange and brown have fallen out of favour with me lmao I used to make everything orange and brown #but also I can feel my thought process when drawing the past ~2 years being WAY different than it was 10 years ago #I feel like I think about so many more things than I used to. there are so many more elements that I consciously consider #I think I've said that before on here but whatever

you know those videos that for some reason display at max brightness or even brighter? sometimes I wish I could make my art do that and you all would hate me for it but then I could force you all to see the colours properly

#I think it might just be a mac & ios thing so if you don't know what I'm talking about that might be why #I keep my laptop screen at max brightness most of the time and still some of those videos are absurdly bright

#my art #sorry I didn't end up doing any of the animal crossing requests after all #was kind of hoping people would submit images of cool outfits but I only got vague descriptions of simple outfits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #also this is a redraw of a 2014 piece. I'll put it in the reblog but I also wanted a version of this by itself

the last trace of boops is almost gone

#my desserts #they just wanted green and brown with the pine trees I didn't really tell them I'd do something fancier #but it's for 8am pickup tomorrow and I'm off so I won't get to see how they react

k.flay is headlining a show in my city this summer (not just opening this time !!) and between this and pride I really gotta hype myself up to start doing things alone

#also gotta think about if I'm gonna dress up for this concert?? #bc I went to arkells where she was supposed to open and it was at the city's biggest venue and everyone dressed normal #but I went to grandson where she opened and it was a small venue in philly and everyone looked so cool #and this is a small venue in boring winnipeg so will people dress cool bc small punk show or lame bc winnipeg #at least this concert will be after pride so I can have a practice run dressing cool to hopefully build my confidence lmao

one thing about having drawn and created my whole life is I always way overestimate the skills of the average person. and I'm not talking beginner artists, I know what to expect from beginner artists, I'm talking those people who's only experience with art is whatever they were forced to do for school assignments and nothing more. like what do you mean you can't draw. a tshirt.

#had this conversation the other day with someone like #it's a big rectangle with two smaller rectangles for the sleeves and a curved line for the neck hole #'no that's too hard for me' what

been rewatching monk with my dad and I'm kinda surprised I've never once heard anyone other than my dad talk about it monk is a good show

#negative: portrays the cops as the good guys but that's kind of the nature of a lot of the mystery detective genre #monk only canonically has OCD when it is VERY obvious he is also autistic but it's an early 2000s show what do you expect #and for being an early 2000s show it handles neurodivergence surprisingly well #like yes a lot of the humour comes from monk being neurodivergent but it never really feels like mean spirited #or at least it very rarely does. especially mid season 2 onward when the other characters respect him more #I watched this show originally when I was I think preteen age but watching it as an adult I'm like #man he's just like me fr

guess who's playing new horizons againnn

#I was going to reset my second town since all I really had done was terraforming and my main player already did a few HHP houses #and the main thing I wanna do is start HHP from scratch #but I decided to just start a new player instead #and you know what it's kind of nice starting up in a town that already has a neat layout #it's like the old games where you just work with what you've got #even though I'm literally not doing that bc I made the layout #but it was like over 2 years ago that I did that so it feels different #still undecided on if I'll develop the town itself but I might #my main goal here is to get clothes get emotes design every HHP house #but uh don't expect any pics for a while bc I need to go through and 'design' every house to unlock all the furni #and get screenshots of their requests #so I can go back and redesign everything with a full catalogue available #which is what I did with HHD

I desperately need places to go where I can wear cute outfits

#new shirt new belt newish shorts new shoes #still trying to hype myself up into going to pride this year #wouldn't wear this tho I'd wear the platforms with the sparkly fishnets and mesh shirt and spiky choker #I asked one friend to go with me and got a very 'too nice to say no' sounding maybe #I guess we're technically exes and we haven't hung out since like 2018 #I could ask my other friend from elementary who I hung out with once last year? maybe try to be more friends? (scary) #I could ask my sister but she is very hetero and normcore and doesn't have the patience for things like that #OR I could just go alone. maybe meet people? maybe people would talk to me? bc I look cool? #other issue: no way to get out of the house dressed like that without dad seeing and I Don't Appreciate His Comments On My Clothes #and also it's a long bus ride but surely other pride-goers in fun clothes will be on the bus

I guess it's about time I remove my NL dream addresses from my blog description. end of an era

#might as well remove the NH one too just because I've always been kinda whatever about it #I loved and adored my NL towns but NH's customization never grabbed me the same way #combination NH has no furniture and patterns look bad with the HD graphics #I keep meaning to count how much furniture NH ACTUALLY has if you remove the redundant items like all the flower wreaths #and how nearly every fruit recipe has 5 versions (one for each fruit) #bc as it is NH doesn't have much more furniture than NL so I'm willing to bet NL has more unique items #I guess the main post is in the tags now oh well

#my desserts #misc stuff from today #we had two kids named bodie today completely unrelated as far as I know #the other one was a winnipeg jets cake but that's a standard theme we offer so no pics #frogs were for my aunt and uncle since they've been helping out lately
