Blog Nighteen: 2025

Good evening, my fellow fools, ghouls, and night owls,

My year started with a bang—and not the good kind. My father, who had been battling cancer for a long time, fell and moved on to a higher plane. He didn’t even get the chance to see his birthday next month… which is just one more reason I’m not looking forward to tomorrow. (Though, by the time this goes up, it will be two days into the month—but the feeling still stands.) There’s been a lot to process—mentally, emotionally… and soon, financially.

I’ve been coping the best way I know how—by drawing. It doesn’t matter what, as long as I keep creating. That, and losing myself in my favorite media, whether it’s a brand-new season or a comfort rewatch. But if I’m being honest, what’s really been pulling me through lately? Doom-scrolling my OTP, Timebomb (Jinx & Ekko from Arcane).

More recently, as of this week—and a little bit of last—I’ve been easing back into a sense of “normalcy.” Studying, getting back into my projects, trying to find my rhythm again. It helps. It gives me something to focus on, something to build toward. And hopefully, one day soon, I’ll be able to share these projects with you all.

That’s all for this week. Until next time, じゃね.
