Jun. 9th, 2024 02:15 pmThe very beginning of this month was rough. Various things haven't really worked out the way that I wanted them to and, well. In the very personal, my heart has been hurt in a way I'd hoped would never happen again. OH WELL. It is what it is. I'm pushing on through it.
I've been working steadily on some minis! The Stormcast Eternals team has lots of animals and I've been having a lot of fun with painting those. |D I mean, I have fun with all of them, it's a really excellent hobby to have (and similar, I think, to crocheting/knitting, in the way where you can watch or listen to something while you're doing it) and gives me plenty of listening time for Shayne Reads Reddit on Smosh, lmao. He's basically reading these absurd reddit stories to two other cast members (and the filming crew, and the watcher) and it's just a lot of fun to listen in, like gossiping together, you know? This is the weirdest and most pathetic parasocial relationship I could possibly ever have, lmao. ANYWAY, it's really great for when I need something to listen to while painting.
I've not had the focus for any video games and art has fizzled as well, so I'm really thankful for this way to get some creativity out. I will post pictures when I have them!
Yesterday we went to a local carnival and it was a lot of fun! I somehow managed to take not a single photo of anything, just video, lmao. There was a kids band playing covers; we listened to them play Come Together by the Beatles and it was so good and adorable. ;o; There were also acrobats doing their aerial stuff and I was so disappointed in the crowd. Absolutely no interaction, no cheering or anything when the artists did something impressive. I started whooping and clapping and that did stir them up a little bit to respond. I also heard enough from a band called Clam Slam Jammers to know I gotta check out more of their work. I made out really good with not buying a single thing and just enjoyed talking to people and seeing the sights and making sure a little dog had a good time (she very much did, even tho it was pretty warm yesterday! she got so many pettings).
I've started playing Stardew Valley again and this time it's managed to get me. XD I'm playing as Guilliaman from Warhammer. My little AU/headcanon is that Pelican Town is on a very small planet in the Realm of Ultramar. Y'all know how Warhammer has entire planets dedicated to various dumb bullshit? Well, this small, pleasant planet is dedicated to Guilliman’s mental health. ;o; This is where he goes to unwind and be “a normal person” (set during Imperium Secundus).
The people of this planet know he’s important (he leaves for long stretches at a time but always returns, a tightness behind his eyes and a weariness in his shoulders that seem to lighten and disappear after a few days at his farm) and, of course, he’s huge. But he’s kind and respectful and so, so interested in doing well with his life here that they all welcome him as best they can (and that is made easy when he supplies the wood and stone needed to reinforce all of their social infrastructure to handle his massive frame). He named his dog Thiel, a sergeant of the Ultramarines 13th Chapter. Thiel is very honored.
So anyways, that's mostly what I've been getting up to lately. :3
