she/her | mid 20s | I draw, I code, and I speak toki pona. I just want to share what I love!

I dreamt about a documentary on the US's fall into fascism of which the final tipping point involved RFK eating mac and cheese with chopsticks. The end credits used an alt-rock song with the lyrics "we're ten ways to Rome". I'm not from the US.

I submitted my paper 🥳I had to pull an all-nighter and I have another deadline this friday but after that I'll be freeeee!! I'm so tired right now...

About to pull an all-nighter to finish writing this goddamn paper 🫡I even have coffee on hand, courtesy of a friend, and since I never drink any I have high hopes.

A side project I’ve been tinkering with: pomodoro timers where a creature slowly grows as you work! I'm in academia and I've been binging "study with me" videos lately to keep me on track 😭 And since I have an unhealthy attachment for virtual creatures I made this little buddy. #art #characterdesign

A drawing with four stages of the same furret-like creature: egg, newborn, youngling and adult. It has a long body with six legs, big ears, a cute face and fluffy fur around the neck. The later stages have a small horn and luminous wing-like appendages.

My #adopt for the griffia Gacha! I had a ton of fun designing the clothes especially. The belt straps were meant to evoke a trellis, and I wanted the face markings to look like the stamen of a flower. I’m so happy they’ve finally got a home!

Here are some notes on AF that somefriends and I collected. These are mainly about presenting your work + some etiquette guidelines on how to have a positive experience on AF.

In France, April's Fool is "poisson d'Avril", lit. April fish! I'm not a big fan of pranks so I did paper fish (tried my hand at collage and watercolor) It had honestly been a while since the last time I created without purpose, and it was super nice.

A paper cutout of a goldfish painted in soft warm colors. It's pretty cute, if you ask me.A cupboard cutout of a fish with collage elements on it (flower pictures from a magazine, brown paper, newspaper bits, washi tape, etc...)
The vibe is pink and soft and spring-like.A collage in the shape of a fish, with meadow-themes elements (waterlilies, pond, etc...) 
Words have been cut from a magazine to form the sentence: "rituel pour se souvenir d'être soi".A collage cutout of a small fish. The main element of the collage is a can of sardines. Words have been cut from a magazine to form the sentence: "Pas vu pas frit".

I've slept four to six hours every single night this week and it's entirely my fault and I deeply regret every single decision that led me to this point. My expected bedtime tonight is also around 5am.

Frozen blueberries: + thaws out instantly when I throw them in my oats - more expensive, objectively inferior to strawberries Frozen strawberries: + cheaper, strawberries are good - I now have oats with a healthy serving of ice rocks in them for the forseeable future
