#3GoodFandomThings

1. My commission by ItsASh0wTime is officially posted on Bluesky (need an account) and ko-fi! (Link should work? https://ko-fi.com/i/IB0B71U0ZJ7). I’m so happy people who stopped by stream enjoyed it as much as I did and the artist happened to pop by so I could thank them again the amazing work! I felt so incredibly happy

2. Got more commission progress done on stream and read through half of a long-ish boring document for the co-working section!

3. Wrote a review of/my experience with On-Together on Pillowfort. I think it’s too long to rewrite here, but overall I’ve enjoyed it and curious to see where it’ll go in the future. Here’s the link to it: https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/7211003

#3GoodFandomThings

1. Complied my January Daily Drawings into two summary images. Very satisfying to look at and it was generally well received which was a nice bonus! https://universeodon.com/deck/@gramophoneturtle/115997504196876249

2. Cooked half a meal and went out to get the missing ingredients for the other half without too much issue

3. To help take my mind off of a less than great discovery today, I started working on the next update of my website. In addition to more OC art, I finally began adding a basic content warning system for artwork that has it. Been wanting to do that for a while which will allow some artwork I’ve put off to get added now

#3GoodFandomThings

1. Thanks to @LeGaosaure@blorbo.social for sending me an adorable cat and fish gif!! (@catsalad@infosec.exchange)

2. Said gif inspired a short story for my Father OC. I was able to share it on stream and on a couple of platforms suited for short stories!!

3. Said short story then inspired artwork to go with it, which I was able to complete the best of my current ability to draw cats!!! I was also able to make it into a VGen Monthly Challenge entry! (https://universeodon.com/deck/@gramophoneturtle/115993594186207381)

#3GoodFandomThings

1. Mostly successfully ran an errand and made it back in time to catch a nice @AndrogynousWater@retro.pizza stream. Had some good chats! Some of it made me recognize I actually had a pretty dang good job at one point, all things considered

2. Attempted to make a character reference sheet for Chisa! Layout is looking good!

3. Watched more of auth’s QLDC judging for this year BUT ALSO I just had to go back to 2022 and watch the Yellow Switch entry. For Reasons. Yes, I rewatched almost all of it. I remember either being there during the live or watching the VOD of it on Twitch shortly after. It was… a memorable and bizarre experience. I forgot how wonderfully crazy it was

#3GoodFandomThings

1. Made good commission progress on today’s stream and had a good time explaining how On-Together works

2. Messed with a commission request scammer from Bsky by sorta drawing out the conversation and used the conversation as an example of what a commission scam request looks like

3. Bought cookies and hot chocolate mix

#3GoodFandomThings

1. Splatoon 3 v11.0 streams have been so joyful. With the new changes some folks are saying there are soooo many weapons to try out. The new aura, hitbox changes, and so on, is such a big change considering how long Splatoon 3 has been out! ALSO Dynamo got actual fixes?!

2. Daily Drawings return and I managed one Null! Then I posted the previous daily with Null (https://universeodon.com/deck/@gramophoneturtle/115975219916096409)
