super random journal WOO

Art updates:
Stunted art. So many things to do I just wish this month was over.
I'm dying to doodle something but it just feels like creativity died down a great deal... must be having to immerse myself with reality too much that killed it. Eh, I'll get back to it someday! I just missed updating Heliosphere a lot back then with new designs and concepts.

I actually have a few new designs, but I haven't finished them. Spoilers? They're not planets.

As for my ALICE project hmmm... well, I do have tons of stories about them, but I still have no idea how to present them. Same dilemma as my PvZ project (Dreams of the Distance).

My PvZ project actually has an outline! I know how it's supposed to go, but I have no idea how to write it down you know? It's gonna be chaotic since I'm including all the characters in the original game. ALL OF THEM.

S.A.N.D.Y. (tentative title), the series where Dusk, Angel, and the others are... ehehehehehe well basically I found that a lot of it is spoiler material. I can say Dawn is the spoiler bomb (freakin Dawn) so all I'm releasing are probably "promotional material" like short comics and not actual stories though I'll let out some hints of it.

And gosh I'm glad you guys like my cosplays! Even though most of them are just WIPs ehehe. Maybe someday I'll post some real cosplay pictures if only I wasn't so scared! Idk the internet... scares me. I've been here long enough to see how scary it could get. Soooo yeah, I'll think about it!

Personal updates:
Basically besides dealing with office work, I also gotta deal with this seminar we're organising and other requirements in graduate school and omg it's overwhelming okay. Feels like I'm making progress, I just wish it didn't feel this stressing. But then again meeting new friends from different walks of life from work to graduate school is fun! I met a senpai cosplayer, some schoolmates I never met in school (lol), and new friends I never imagined I'd meet such awesome people

Basically in graduate school it's all SRS BSNS. Seriously, it's normal for us to talk about issues and work A LOT even during our free time, whereas in work we talk mostly about normal stuff like this one time we were talking about the typhoon

I was like "we have typhoons over here?? Where are they now?" (I was asking where in the country it was)

Friend's all like "Oh it's over there in the next train station"

Wat.

We also talk about stuff like riding ships from shipping lines just to get home from the flood. Seriously wat. Imo work is pretty tough since idk, I'm sure it's just something about me, but I don't regret ever meeting my cool friends over there.

Bottom line it's one heck of a roller coaster for me so far! Can't wait to get my semester break in October!

Aaand,

I've never felt this way towards a movie before.

Toy Story series was angst fest and eventually I found myself wanting a Buzz pillow from the toy shop.

Frozen gave me last song syndrome.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 ruined my makeup.

Big Hero 6 made me eat tears for breakfast.

Inside Out, I actually want to collect all the toys and rewatch the movie over and over and made me feel so great that emotions aren't as bad as I thought they were.

Actually right now I have a Joy toy! She's super adorable! this is what she looks like:
