practicing how 2 draw toritsuka.. ft saiki

HEY ALL, Pikes here! Wanted to give a small update and since I'm posting this at 1 AM I'll most likely reblog this in a couple of hours

Job hunting's not been great. I DID get a bunch of phone calls today and yesterday but only one left a voicemail. Others I don't know are spam even when I do reverse phone look up. Also I keep getting asked to join multilevel marketing stuff or worse, nearly getting scammed, so that's been brining my mood down a bit. Like my whole goal was to be employed before my birthday so I'd have health insurance and afford the stuff I want without dipping into my savings/exceeding my monthly budget but welp.

To try and brighten said mood, I thought I'd try to find a shiny Shinx in Pokemon Legends Arceus. This is without shiny charm because I unfortunately don't have that much of patience to complete the Pokedex. I think I've been at this for a week now? Found a bunch of other shinies but no Shinx/Luxio/Luxray yet.

It's because of that I haven't really been able to hyperfixate on something for a long period of time or worse, haven't really been able to convey my feelings about the meh-ness without sounding like a broken record. And I go back into that "friends and loved ones find me a bother/inconvenience" mindset which is completely untrue but unfortunately persistent. That in turn makes it hard to communicate even more so it's a neverending cycle.

Fortunately IRL things are looking good aside from that. Got a lot of plans with the fam, planning for my birthday party so friends can once again hang out.

And ohhhhhhh my God so many games are coming out in June and July it's almost unfair. I'm contemplating if I should cancel my preorder for 3Hopes special edition and go for the regular one instead so I can get more games or not. I mainly only want the special edition for the art book but I'm not the biggest fan of Musou gameplay (still burnt out from the original Hyrule Warriors on Wii U, and that was when I had a friend to play co-op with). Then again Dedue...
