Was pretty excited to sleep in an hour before I saw a text from my mom about a toilet delivery occurring randomly between the hours of 7am-11am (my new bedtime hours), so between that and picking them up from the airport in the afternoon, guess it’s no sleep for me today.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on nights, so I just straight-up forgot that my parents will expect me to do things during the hours I should be sleeping. Just gotta learn to take it on the chin like I used to. 🤣 Still. Destroying my sleep for a toilet of all things this time. 🥴

I've been going crazy with the revision work for the last 30 pages of the Book 1 remasters, and after doing all the color adjustments, I'm really tempted to just cut it short here and be like "okay that's a wrap" even though there's still minor face adjustments I intended to do. :'D BECAUSE LOOK -

I already gotta go through reuploading all these pages tomorrow because it bothers me quite a bit how washed out the colors are in the older versions lol, and even though there's still more edits I can do to the character's faces, I'm like... gaaaahhh should I? Should we? We've come so far already!

Well, regardless of what I choose to do, I'll try to get the new versions of these pages posted to their respective sites tomorrow. And that's probably gonna take a couple hours with all the resizing and whatnot. The colors just look so much BETTER now. So much more vibrant! BWAAAH!

But yeah I swear to god my YouTube algo is always at least 50% ASMR all the of time. I end up finding some really interesting channels purely based on whatever gets mixed in with whatever else I watch on YouTube (I mostly use it to listen to ASMR 🥴)

Me me! this is my veggietales ‘sona! I’m like if Larry the cucumber got stretched by a taffy machine. I’m so cute! Yay!

The only inaccuracy is the idea that I'm 0% chaotic, lmao sophie006liu.github.io/vegetal/

BlueSky has four kinds of users: - Furry - Furry (closeted or in denial) - Furry. Also trans and a therian. - Non-furries who should try making a fursona for fun. (What are you waiting for. Put a cartoon animal in your PFP *now*!!!)

This post is unavailable.

To be clear, I’m not picking and eating it. I’m just swallowing what keeps running down my throat like an inner drainage of succulent delicious booger. Why hawk a loog when you can simply just… feed? Yum yum yum

Also this happened in the middle of the night and I still feel bad for Cherry with how my villagers are constantly doing her so dirty? 😭 Filbert gives her an apron. Julia gives her… another apron. Bruce has a disagreement and makes her dress like a clown. Wtf yall. So cruel and for no reason.

Big part of being a stealth trans person is that response you get sometimes when people find out (through your ID, medical history, birth certificate, w/e) where they get all surprised and say something like “whoa, you actually look like a real guy”. And it’s like “yeah, that’s the point, luv” 🥲

I don’t actually take offense to it (it’s usually coming from a good place I think) but I don’t really know how to respond to it either lol. I think it’s just the reminder that a lot of cis people generally assume they can always tell when someone is trans when that is uh… definitely not truuuuuue

I’m a terrible person who has done terrible, awful, horrible things. Like I think I lied a couple times as a kid. There’s been a few times in my life where I rolled my eyes at people. Been super selfish centering myself in my own life like I’m some kind of protagonist or something. DISGUSTING — !!!

It’s so funny that I can tell when my meds from yesterday have worn off right before I go to bed. Sometimes I hope hell exists because I think the only way of offloading all the guilt I feel about being a human with flaws would be eternal damnation for real.

Still haven’t recalibrated my brain yet, so I’ll see it’s almost midnight and think “yay bedtime!” before remembering that bedtime is 7am and I got some time to go before I earn the pillow.

I’m starting to really age now. Dangnabbit. Does not help that I’m a chronic insomniac so I definitely haven’t been sleeping in as much as I should be LOL. Fingers crossed for 7 hours tonight. 🤣🤣🤣

Okay I watched like four eps of Digital Circus in the background while drawing, and I can definitely see (and agree) with that person who said SlumberTown was similar to it. At the very least, in premise and the zany sense of humor. It is a huge compliment to me to have SlumberTown compared to it.

Also, I have no idea what spurned so much negative media crit for Digital Circus. I think people are just way too hard on indie projects for no reason lol. Because I thought the episodes I watched were quite good. A lot of ppl’s crit of it (that I’ve seen) is blown way out of proportion imo

And yeah Caine is definitely my fave lol but I kinda already knew he would be. Zany ass cartoon AI ringmaster mouthman. He also says the funniest shit. Best dialogue in the show for sure.

Because yeah in a lot of ways it kinda nails a similar tone to ST that I just find hard to explain lol, but it’s nice to agree the comparison is apt haha. I feel like it’s got a lot more in common with my comic than the usual comparisons like Steven Universe and Gravity Falls and whatnot.

But man I’m just a sucker for that narrative premise/trope that’s basically just “a bunch of people who are strangers to each other get trapped together in a strange and whimsical land”. LOST had that trope too and that was one of ST’s bigger inspirations. weirdly enough.

While working on the remasters for Book 1 the past few years, I’ve mostly focused on doing one page at a time. But now that I’m at the last 30-ish pages, I’ve legit just been working on the entire final section at once. I feel like it’s going quicker than I thought… 🤯

Finishing the Book 1 revision project will be a huge milestone for SlumberTown regardless. If you’re a newer reader, maybe you don’t remember how incredibly rough much of my first book was… I’m happy I’ve spent so much time enhancing the quality. It’ll really help people to get into it.

Also relieved that I won’t have to go through that same kinda insane revision work for any of the other books. It was just Book 1 really that needed that. Experimental first book and all… It’ll just feel awesome to finally put the Book 1 revision project behind me. Finally.

Idk it’s kinda blowing my mind right now because I’ve been working on this revision project since 2021, and I guess it was always hard to imagine it getting to that place where I felt good about it and ready to publish it. Jesus. It’s come such a long way.

It’s probably happening next year. Publishing Book 1, I mean. I guess the only obstacle to overcome is the financial side of it. It won’t get published if the kickstarter fails. But I think if that happens, I’ll just try every year until I can pull off a kickstarter that DOES succeed. x’P

Which is like… WTF?! No. Wait. It’s actually happening. I’m going to finish them… and sooner than I anticipated… Which means. Oh gosh. I really do gotta start making the kickstarter. 🤯 And preparing to self-pub the book and all that…

First villager pic in New Leaf! 😁 I was honestly kinda surprised. Skipped right past the dialogue where he handed it to me. I swear it used to take ages to get one in the past. And I’d usually only get like one or two of them in my whole time playing. RUDY LOVES ME *sniff* I love you too buddy!

I’ve only done the barista mini game like three times and got all my villagers’ coffee correct (without cheating). Real life customer service skills coming in clutch lol

All I did for him today was fetch Patty and bring her to his house. I can’t even remember why or for what reason. Maybe because I had Rudy as a neighbor in a past village, the friendship transferred over somehow and he remembers our old time together too.
