Shouting into the Void
This is from one of my December Drabble microfics. Three, my OC ComfortUnit, and Murderbot shout into the void. Mostly, I wanted to practice varied poses and backlighting. (Sometimes I draw TV Murderbot, but this one is my design).
there are certain people that when I talk to, my first reaction is to tell them the common sense answer because it usually helps them. so when im having trouble with something complicated I ask them to let me explain it to them so i understand what i did wrong. the answer was read the manual. its been *checks watch* 3 days.
Colossians 3
Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
Therefore, treat the parts of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. In addition to all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not antagonize your children, so that they will not become discouraged.
Slaves, obey those who are your human masters in everything, not with eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. For the one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.
i needa find a way to fix the empty space when doodlin. darn feathered wings needing so much room
“…and leave my greatest failures on display with an asterisk: ‘Worthy of love anyway’”
We all know in our hearts that we’re worthy of love but I don’t think many people actually believe they’re worthy of love. Mostly because of trauma and so much “love” in our lives being conditional, but that isn’t love anymore. I hope whoever’s reading this knows they’re always worthy of love no matter what <3

Perfect Tides: Station to Station
3/5⭐| Steam | Lovely art and music; less gripping story
I really enjoyed Meredith Gran’s first game, Perfect Tides, so I was excited to pick up the sequel and see what happens next in Mara’s life. While the first game shows her in high school, this second one is about her college life in The City (aka, NYC).
Maybe it’s because I’m not a city person, or maybe it’s because i’m not a writer, but I just didn’t gel with the story of this game nearly as much as last time. I was also a lonely weird nerd in high school writing stuff online, so I related hard to Mara, and maybe that let me forgive some of her personality flaws and find them more endearing than annoying. But here in college, I found her tendency to overwrought pretentiousness mostly just irritating. Her series of bad decisions made me cringe, which is definitely the intent, but I found her attempts to understand herself painfully shallow. Basically, she used a lot of words to say nothing.
I had another issue with the story, and it started in the first game too - as someone who didn’t even date until my junior year of college, I have trouble sympathizing with Mara complaining about how unloveable she is when she’s on her 5th boyfriend. I know things are more complicated than that, but still - from my perspective, she has a decent time of it.
Anyway, this maybe got more personal than necessary, LOL! Otherwise, the game had a lot of good moments. The art is, as usual, astounding, and there were some really creative and fun moments thaht stood out. The Bohemian Rhapsody scene was SO fun, and I also loved the concert rhythm section.
The story was interesting, and I still love Mara and some of her friends (Rosetta <3 <3). I loved seeing her relationship with Lily grow, and her family story expand. I didn’t really care about all the musings on the nature of art, and discussion of The City, but that’s just my personal prefs.
The gameplay was much improved from last time, although it still had issues - it claimed full controller support but completely ignored mine, for example. But there was a lot less pixel-hunting! I missed some core (I think) mechanics of the game, so I think I possibly missed out on some content, but that’s on me of course.
However, perhaps it sums up my reaction to the game that I couldn’t be bothered to go back and replay to get that content. The game was fine, and I’ll definitely check out a sequel if the saga continues, but it wasn’t as gripping for me as the first one. So it goes!
Uni got me so fucked up, I feel like I’m five steps away from some “written by Jhonen Vasquez” shenanigans
“The Gang Attempts To Teach Murderbot Literally Anything About The Universe”
ART was staring at me mutually. That’s not the word I meant—it was the one that it shouldn’t have been able to do because it was already its own captain. Anyway, ART was staring at me like it wanted to stage a hostile take over, depose all my c-level executives, and replace them with its own.
