One of the projects I voice in is releasing in five weeks' time, and I can't wait to show you all! Being a #voiceactor is so fulfilling in moments like these 🥰

Erika Gritton 💖 @xweetara.com · 1d

“Underbabied” is when no one sings me to sleep and pats my head or brings me a warm bottle for my feet, or a nice posset before bed, he’s right

I bet it would have been Malamar.

Pokemon Z-A comes out tomorrow, and there's no one I want to talk about it with more than Karla. It's been 6 months since she passed. I'm crying really hard right now, might make myself some tea and journal to try and calm down. I want to know which new mega evolution would have been her favorite.

Aaand today someone stuck chewed gum to my car today. It was in a parking lot not too near any one building, they would have had to seek it out. Not a fan of my pride flag stickers? Idk. I'm in an ideological minority in my hateful state, I'm getting used to vandalism and nasty words flung my way.

I'm Erika, a voice actor and a queer 18+ creator, definitely interested 😊

Suggestion: read out puns and dad jokes as if they're part of a scene you're playing deathly serious. I only say that because I know I personally would really like to hear it 🤣

Some guy leaned out his car window and shouted "FUCKING SHEEP" at me as I was leaving the grocery store. Maybe he was scared of the mask I wear out shopping. But I'm choosing to believe it's on account of how cute and fluffy I am 😇🐑

I'm sitting in my room in front of a pile of plushies, wearing a blue hair bow and a teal green KN-95 mask, holding a rainbow pillow and making a peace sign. There are pink and teal hearts edited on the sides of the image.

Digital art is just one of my many pursuits, but if I'm encouraged I could ramble about the OCs I draw for HOURS.

A picture of Rankhar, a hybrid elf and komodo dragon with long brown hair, tan skin, and russet scales, sitting in a child's bedroom and holding a little toy reptile. The sun shines bright behind beige curtains.

A picture of Frey, a half-selkie girl with brown freckled skin and dark hair tied up in twin buns, swimming in the ocean and encountering a curious seal.

A picture of Enrique, a regular human guy with brown skin and black hair, sits on the ground in front of a graffiti painting of a cartoon-style rat. His body and clothes are covered in neon splotches of paint.

A picture of Shin Juu, a young dragonborn girl with translucent shiny scales showing her pale pinkish skin underneath. She's wearing nondescript beige clothing, clearly oversized, and she's quietly crying.

Verdict: pleasant 😊 A little too smoky to be my go-to, I think, I'll stick to my favorite genmai cha for roasty flavor, but I'll absolutely finish out this box over the fall and winter!

Erika Gritton 💖 @xweetara.com · 5d

Fun drink I'm trying today: hojicha! Roasted green tea felt like an autumnal thing to journal alongside.

We're all only here on this earth once (as far as we know), and I'm living my truth while I'm here ✌️

Does that sound contradictory? Yes! Does it involve complicated, uncomfortable words like "queerplatonic", and "sapphic", and god forbid, "woke"? It sure does. Does this mean I'm not gonna fuck you? Yup, sorryyyy.

So apparently it's National Coming Out Day. Those of you who have been with me for a while already know, but if you're new or just want a refresher, let me come out!

My name is Erika, and I'm an aroace lesbian.

LITERALLY SQUEALING

Life is pretty okay sometimes, actually.

Photo of my order from Publik Coffee Roasters in Salt Lake City. I've got a hot mocha with a cute latte art on top, and a thick slice of whole wheat sourdough toast with nutella and banana slices on top. My backpack sits in the background, including a little bootleg Hatsune Miku keychain I've had for years.

Excerpt from my journal today.

"Will I be out on a little mental health walk when we're liberated? Mopping the floor? Tidying my bedroom? At some sort of job? I'm cis and white, I'm safe from the raids, so my day-to-day continues to go on uninterrupted. [...] What will it take to save us?"

Erika Gritton 💖 @xweetara.com · 11d

Yeah, no thank you. I don't need another metaphorical junk food addiction, especially not one that charges me in higher power bills and lower self respect to strangle both the industry I and my closest community happen to work in and the planet I happen to live on. I'll pass on this one.

Frame of a 'Wonderful Pretty Cure!' episode. Yuki is being petted.

The frame depicts the cat Yuki being petted. She's happy and relaxed, enjoying the pats with closed eyes.

Roommate started showing me Deltarune today, with the agreement that we could split voicing the characters out loud between us. I've given Susie enough of a growl that my throat started to hurt after about an hour. Having a GREAT time. (No spoilers please)

Erika Gritton 💖 @xweetara.com · 15d

Verdict: very good! Not as sweet as I expected, legit tasted like they blended up the fruit. Just a little thick, but not too smoothie-ish. Loved it!

Erika Gritton 💖 @xweetara.com · 15d

All people wanted out of Bluesky was a kinder Twitter with fewer Nazis (ideally no Nazis but 🤷‍♀️), whyyyyy are the people who already managed that trying to turn it all into slop 😭

Fun drink I'm trying today: French apricot nectar! Sometimes (like once or twice a year) my D&D group treats ourselves to food at a lil deli out in Holladay, they have fun drinks 😊
