.... Does everything have to feel like pulling teeth?

Actually scratch that I used to do that as a kid.

DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO FEEL LIKE WALKING THROUGH CONCRETE?!?

Well this'll be fun. Heard nothing about my T, and the next inject is tomorrow. I've started the chaseup, here's hoping I don't have to readjust the schedule to account for this...

Got a little extra work done on the walking stick part of the clip, since it's still a little tricky to get on and off. No point putting the two parts together until they're both sturdy enough, or they'll warp each other while I work.

BRINGING THIS BACK. We're getting legally married next week and we want our friends to celebrate this new stage in our life with us in some way! We're trying to decide dates for the in-game wedding and will make a poll for dates in the server we make for it, so let me know if you're interested!
Hey uhhh leave a like here if you'd be willing to join a discord group for the sole purpose of streaming my and Kel's FFXIV wedding to folks who don't play (the closest thing we're gonna have to a real wedding until we can afford a real ceremony years down the line).

As I cleaned up this Piglett design from the paper sketch, the idea for Hogtrio hit me like a brick to the face! #Pokemon

Today is a bloods day, to see if my MS has changed. This was originally arranged for 9am but the nurse called to ask if I would prefer it changed. Because of a cancellation it could still happen today, so that was well timed. Meds have been sorted beforehand so I'm not scrabbling after that at 2pm.

A true adventure in getting stuck in a hole I MEAN kidnapped on a bus
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Oh well that's fun. The 3D pen proved how cheap it was by breaking. It no longer takes in filament, which is the entire gimmick of it.

Oddly enough I already have a new one on the way. If I'm gonna use one, I should use a GOOD one. Which isn't easy to get in the UK.

and that is why I'm not beating myself up over not completing other goals. I'm not in executive dysfunction right now and I am happy to get SOMEthing done, even if it's a picture of a shady otter insisting on taking my money and TOTALLY doesn't know Crazy Redd the alleged art thief.

Being patient with myself for not drawing paper cranes as I draw Other Things and use the desk bike. I'm still being productive.

but I AM forgetting to eat. Oops!

Since I'm having serious door-amnesia, getting onto these tasks is a trial and a half. Task 3 involves the clip, and I've moved the heat pen to the hallway so I can use it to keep the clip solid on the frame. A failed clip can get some extra PLA and could still work for things later.

I've been getting hair on my chest and belly.

Without top surgery, you can probably imagine how weird that is.

Ah yes, brain wants to do 3 things at once. Inevitably this leads to nothing, but I can at least START one of them:

picking a sketchbook to start drawing something I'm not used to.

I have many to choose from

Heat pen has been added to the repetoir to allow the clip to keep its shape. Last night I noticed it wasn't clipping right, so a bit of heat n squeezing and we're good.

I mean it's a texture nightmare, but it clips again. More soldering iron later.

Oh yeah my photos are in a flash drive somewhere. Can't use peepers when the material is hiding!

I have a better idea for now.

What works for others may not work for you. Tutorials might bounce off you. That's not a failing. You do it differently. Find what works for YOU. Find what APPLIES to you if you check a tutorial, see what your brain grabs!

Tutorials/references are important. You aren't failing by checking sources
January 18, 2026 at 3:51 PM
yet another WIP. Working on the green, I think I should check out some references of trees in the far distance. They've always been an amalgamation of one colour to me, but it's made up of a LOT of 'em, so I should put my peepers to use!

Please don't tell me you want an incense cone farting out incense....

THANK YOU BRAIN, PLEASE SHUT OFF FOR A WHILE.

This. You're punching down on trans people today, believing garbage opinions sourced from liars... I don't trust you to make a better call tomorrow.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
