Went out for a stroll by the water. It is just so lovely this time of year.

Everything has changed And yet... I am more me than I've ever been

Recharging with personal projects for people I love *content sigh*

a sapphic comic about a village girl and the fae she fell in love with.

creative notes:

The simple joys in life, that's what my heart aches for.

Okay so here’s the thing that gets me about Good Omens (s2 in particular):

Earth and humanity are (as far as we know) meant to exist so that heaven and hell have a playing field to best one another, initially by seeing who can exert their influence on humans most and ultimately as a battleground for their war. Humans themselves are kinda inconsequential.

But! Anyone from either side who comes to earth with even a *skerrick* of curiosity immediately starts to fall for the emergent properties of humanity- the music, the food, the art, the shades of grey that simply do not exist in heaven or hell. We see this in Aziraphale and Crowley who have found ways to keep their positions on earth for 6000 years yes, but we see it even more in Beelzebub and Gabriel, who have been to earth many times but only started to *see* it for the first time together, and in Muriel who we are told has never been to Earth before and is overcome with excitement seemingly within seconds of arriving.

There is something so deliciously pure and healing about this story that centres not just love between individuals being the most powerful thing in the universe, but also the simple love of *being alive*. It’s so potent that celestial/demonic powers succumb to the joy of living the *moment* they open themselves up to it. To see these timeless entities stumbling together through human history interacting with and delighting at, not humans themselves so much but the things that they have created. To know that the joy they find in these human constructs is literally changing the very fabric of who they are in ways that they clearly find freeing and deeply fulfilling. That they would literally rather live their quaint little lives on earth, drinking and eating their fill and experiencing human creations, than fulfil their purpose in some cosmic destiny. That they’ll fight to protect it so fiercely even though they’ve been told it’s destruction is preordained.

It’s wild that a story that doesn’t have human characters at it’s centre (in the show anyway), so expertly conveys the joy of being human. Whether you believe humanity exists for a purpose or not, we are simply silly little creatures with an overactive pleasure drive making things that are infinitely more complex than the sum of their parts.

Idk man, it’s the absolute reverence for simple contentment this story holds above all else that gives me life (especially in contrast to its irreverence of Christian morality). I liked season 1 a lot but season 2 soothed some deep hurt in my heart and I’m just so grateful it exists.

The trouble with simple living is that, though it can be joyful, rich, and creative, it isn't simple.

*grabs you by the shoulders* it’s about love!!! it’s always been about love!! every action and every choice!! it’s a cycle!! it’s a driving force!!! we do things because we love them! and because of love!! does the earth not love us for giving us every breath we take, and do we in turn not love the earth for giving it to us!!

please admire the nasturtiums with me. 😌

Hello, yes. Come with me.

So. I saw this.

Most of these I have a reference in my head, but not Bb Minor.

Obscure and Terrible

That sounds neato. I want to hear that. Plus! No wonder I don't know any songs in Bb minor, by their very nature they're obscure!

So I did the only rational thing, and I searched it so I could find out an example.

And... I'm just gonna go ahead and put this under a cut so you can experience it the way I did.

Obscure and Terrible you say?

I’ve been having fun turning my VR art into AR paintings lately.... really makes me feel like I’m just casually living in the future. this scene is the landscape from ‘Reality Is’, and it was brought into AR with Figmin XR!

if you want to see how this was made, I’ve got a process video here. (everything you see was hand painted and hand placed in virtual reality)

it is 7 am and i am joyfully chasing a puppy around my living room

Where are my fellow floor troll, introverted, nose up in a book, cozy, spoopy lovin, in the passenger seat cooow callin besties at 🫧✨🧺🧚🌛

I like canceled plans. And empty book stores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quite coffee shops. I like messy beds and overworn pajamas. Most of all, I like small joys that a simple life brings.

I love being a silly little fangirl getting excited about things that my favorite silly little band does and waiting for them to release/perform silly little songs with my silly little friends on our silly little blogs
