  • Including links to progress pictures and files associated with my drawings on my Internet Archive profile in the description. Formerly I used Imgur to post progress pictures, but migrated to Internet Archive after I learned that Imgur implemented an expiration policy. When people in the comments accuse my work of being AI-generated, it shows that people aren't reading the description.

  • Book a private jet to go to California with my family. I've always really liked the idea of California and I also have a really good friend that lives there! 😃

  • My computer installing an update and restarting because I was away from my desk. I won't settle for any other OS though since Paint Tool SAI only runs on Windows.

  • Teal and turquoise, I think because it evokes imagery of my very early childhood where I'd be on vacation and swimming in seas that looked like shimmering gems, with water so clear that it looks as though you're flying. Fun little fact, I've never had to be trained on how to swim, I just instinctually have been able to do so for as long as me and my parents can remember.

  • I've eaten pasta from a sealed, unopened bag that was 4 years past the date. The only difference I noticed was a few pieces breaking apart after cooking and it maybe cooked a tad faster.

  • Drawing, videogames, and swimming.

  • Red maple, the colour and shape of the leaves are so pretty!

  • I've played Pikmin 1 so much that my current record is beating the game in 7 in-game days. I feel kind of bad about it since there's so many ways I've played that game that it feels like I've achieved a score I can't possibly top.

  • Nope. I love Autumn and Winter the most! šŸā„ļøI actually can't stand warm/hot weather 😭

  • It's a tie between the sound of heavy rain at night and that strange silentness you hear when it's snowing heavily, the kind that you "hear" even inside the house which makes you want to go and check if it's snowing!

  • I don't upload photos of myself or my environment to public websites. The only people online who have seen me are two close friends on Discord.

    When uploading my art I admit I'm somewhat paranoid about it since my art has been stolen once already, and I like to keep the files associated with my art archived just prior to uploading as a point of reference.

  • Be able to draw fast. I'm hilariously slow at drawing šŸ˜‚

    1. I just learned how to do some knitting (cast on), and while I was doubting myself because I couldn't properly do it after the first few times I was shown how to do it, it clicked with me and I got it after a few attempts!
  • Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃

    Sometimes instances can have technical problems, but they are usually short-lived. It's fun to explore other Lemmy instances though!

  • They've got electrolytes. It's what the stingless bees crave!
