I love having an almost 3 hour commute this morning.

Stellar. Really.

So awesome.

I cannot curse 2025. I turned 40, got to travel, judged competitions, and saw some really wonderful people.
It gave me one of my greatest achievements as a maker and an almost decade long dream came true.

I will curse December for making me so sick, battered, and bruised.

Happy New Year. 💜

See Stranger Things The First Shadow if you can! It answers so many questions and clears up things for Season 5 already if you had questions. It's also a visual marvel!!!

.... seriously. I'm seeing it again. It's just good theater.
Turns out the canon Stranger Things play is important to Season 5.

I was waiting for a prescription yesterday and this little boy (maybe 3-4) was in front of me with his dad. He was happily eating a snack, Stopped dead and looked at me, smiled, and just started singing "You're my soda pop. My little soda pop."

@criticalrole.bsky.social 's The Mighty Nein drops on November 19th, aka my 40th birthday! So I decided to revisit some sketches I did for Jester, Yasha, and Beau. I'm currently making Yasha, so check out my Instagram for the build process.

Hug your fur babies tight and love them fiercely.

Last night, my family's baby Bailey crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm so incredibly heartbroken and I will miss him so much. He was the best and the sweetest dog on the planet.

Bails, I love you so much. You were my first dog and best boy. 💜

Keep in mind that people with high functioning anxiety and depression will look okay, but will be drowning on the inside.

I'm on my fourth sizable attack in four days. They are like aftershocks of an earthquake. Have the big attack and then quietly suffer for days with lesser attacks. 😵‍💫

Hey...um Sideshow Collectibles? Critical Role? Could we...maybe get statues for Bells Hells? I feel like they get no love. I would buy the witches and Ashton statues so fast. 😢

Thank you and back into the void I go. 💜🖤

It is Otakon 2002, the masquerade audience chants for a chair set on stage before a skit.
It is Colossalcon 2014, the masquerade audience chants for a chair to be added to the stage.
It is Colossalcon East 2025, the masquerade audience votes for a chair to replace one of the hosts.

Otakon post time!
I was invited to judge the Masquerade. My first time to the DC location and I was overwhelmed by the size. 😵‍💫 First time in over a decade and it was crazy. Got badges and got to see some of the Matsuri performances!
