I've put that into an image description, but seeing this huuuge wall of text I decided to cut it out and made a journal out of it x') Guess that's gonna be more efficient for everyone, as all character descriptions will be put in one place and anyone who'd like to check it out will have an easy and quick access to it, as I'm gonna link it to other images. Also, no spoilers for those who wouldn't want to see them~ I'm gonna upload it every time a progress will be made, adding more characters to the list ;)


---------- SPOILER ALERT! Zero Escape game spoilers below ----------

~999~

Nonary RPG: 999 Stcikers

(1) Ace - Waylon Harvey (55). He used to be an accountant, but as his company wasn’t doing great, he took a loan from the worst organization possible. Not being able to pay back, he found himself in a deadly game, having to fight for his life. However, after winning, he’s been accepted as a member of said organization, to become a CEO of hospital chain, preparing to create a new game, Nonary project. Focused not on punishing the debtors, but to study a strange phenomenon called Morphogenetic Field, and people, espers, being able to connect to it, to communicate telepathically with their close ones. That’s why after a careful selection, the organization kidnapped 18 kids as subjects, to test the theory, and as danger and epiphany were said to strengthen their abilities, the games took form of a very dangerous and deadly escape rooms, filled with traps and tortures. He’s a cold-blooded and ruthless man, who’ll do whatever it takes, even kill, to achieve his goals and survive. Though as he suffers from prosopagnosia, he has quite a hard time recognizing people he knows.


(2) Owl - Taliesin Brown (23). Bear's brother. Comes from a wealthy family. A pianist and composer. At age of 4 he became blind after an accident, but he quickly overcame his disability. He's very smart, calm and serious, not too eager to joke around. But for most he loves his little brother like no one else. To the point he's ready to give his life for him and shield from any danger. Especially after a kidnapping 9 years ago that played a big role in their lives. Since then they also gained a special bond through Morphogenetic Field, that allows his brother to send him images, becoming sort of his eyes, through which he can see the world.


(3) Cerberus - Lash Ingram (23). Starling’s brother. He’s a programist and robotic engineer, as tinkering has been his passion since childhood. He always used to be a troublemaker and a rebel kind of a guy, who hated his little sibling, whose birth changed his life. That’s why he’s always been quite an ass for him and vice versa. It changed only after they became orphaned. Homeless, in the dangerous streets of India, he had to take care of his last family member left and became a responsible and loving big brother. Kidnapped for the Nonary game by Ace, he was ready to protect Starling at all cost… and so, after the Nonary, when a Second one was needed to save his sib’s life, he was ready to give his without any hesitation. He loves robots, any kind of electronics and fast cars. His most loved creation is a robotic dog, called Zero.


(4) Bear - Theodore Brown (19). Owl's brother. Comes from a wealthy family. A tiktoker and a well known dancer and beatboxer. He's cheerful and very playful, likes to sing and dance, but he also has his dark side. Kidnapped and tortured at the age of 10, to test his esper abilities in a Nonary game created by Ace, he's not exactly... right in the head 😬 That's why triggered he can become quite violent and kill for his revenge. Since the kidnapping, he's very self conscious about his body covered in scars, that's why he's never showing too much of his skin. When nervous, he likes to fidget, mostly by creating paper planes, so look for the traces of origami :v He LOVES bears and has quite a big collection of teddies and bear gadgets, to the point he has a whole separate room just for his plushies. He also loves other animals, especially the more exotic ones and so, beside the dog, he also has 2 snakes, a tarantula and a chameleon.


(5) Ollie - Oliver Hanson (20). A psychology student and a hobbyist photographer. Very determined, helpful, kind and loyal. Can be quite naive, but definitely a hero type. In his childhood he didn't hesitate to face a whole group of older kids to save a little kitty, even if it resulted in him being all bitten up. He's deeply in love with Starling, who used to be his best friend in elementary school. They befriended as they were taking care of school animals and since that moment, they've been always together and ready for their new shenanigans. Unfortunately, after graduation, Starling had to move out with his family. Since that day they've lost contact for almost 10 years. It strongly affected him, especially after he realized his true feelings and that the happy days are not coming back, but after therapy he managed to move on and decided to become a therapist himself, to help others in need. The more it was a surprise for him to one day wake up in a deadly game with his long lost, old friend, who seemed to reciprocate his feelings. He LOOOVES murbles! He always had a pretty big collection of those, but it grew enormously after Starling gave him a new bunch from all around the world.


(6) Starling - Teiso Ingram (20). Cerberus’ sibling. A fan of Titanic and any kind of conspiracy theories. Very smart, lively and talkative, to which he owes his nickname. He’s non binary, preferring more femine things and so he doesn’t like being called a man. He's deeply in love with Oliver, who used to be his best friend in elementary school, but he’s never openly admitted his feelings for him. Because of his parents’ money issues, they had to move out from the country and that started a chain of terribly unfortunate events. After their parent’s death and losing all their belongings, together with his brother they become homeless. Not having any other family that could adopt them and having problems with their documents, they had to be on their own, trying to survive. Which leads to their kidnapping to a Nonary game, where a “lucky” mistake turns into his demise. Fortunately for him, connected to the Field and trapped in a sort of a “Schroedinger’s cat box”, thanks to creating another Nonary, he’s able to save his life… at least in some timelines.


(7) Seven - Daniel Brooks (44). A detective, working against a secret terrorist organization. 9 years ago he used to be involved in an investigation of 18 kidnapped children. It led him to a wharf, where he found kidnappers loading lost kids onto a ship, but before he could do anything, he was captured and brought onto the same ship. He woke up in an empty, locked cell, from which he managed to escape, meeting with a group of scared kids, whom he helped to escape from an incinerator, before burning. Almost… as one kid was captured again and lost his life right before his eyes. He's a bit... dim, but definitely very kind and helpful soul. Very talkative one. He likes to tell many stories, especially about a cursed, never melting mummy, Alice, being very fascinated by her. And even though he couldn't find his mummy in a game, he's definitely found his love, starting to date Widow after escaping the danger.


(8) Black Widow - Elise Evans-Finch (42). A professional programmer, a hacker and IT specialist. Smart, calculating person, always to the point, but she can be lay-back and jocular at times. She's fascinated by metaphysics and likes to listen to podcasts about it. She used to work in a cyber security firm, but after she became a mom and divorced with her husband, she decided to take a freelance career, to be more home for her twin daughters, Lucy and Riley. Especially after her daughters' kidnapping, after which they came back home quite traumatized. She used to date Ace about 20 years ago, but their relationship didn't last too long and after that they lost contact. Since that day she never really found anyone she'd like to spend her life with... until she's met her hero, that not only helped escape and took care of her kidnapped daughter before, but helped her in the same game years later.


(9) Nine - Dale Jackson (49). A tech specialist. Together with Harvey and others, was responsible for kidnapping and creating a Nonary project for 18 children, developing all the electronics needed for the game. An unscrupulous man, ready to harm others for his goal, but quite naive and easy to manipulate. And so his trust for his boss, unfortunately, doesn’t take him far.

Nonary RPG: VLR Stickers (spoilers)

Dio - Left (16). A soldier clone, created by a religious organization, Free the Soul, that after the apocalypse managed to become the main religion and ruler of the world. Since his accident, that made him fall behind others in their training, Dio’s been treated very poorly by the other soldiers and thus never really formed any bond with anyone. Feeling alienated, he manages to befriend a kitty, but as it’s been spotted, used for a training target and killed, his reluctance to others grew. That’s why he’s rather egoistic, rude and very self-righteous, especially when confronted with “non-believers”. Still he’s very loyal to his religion and its leader. Brainwashed to obey, he’s ready to give his life for his beliefs and so he’s been used as a “danger factor” to the AB game, to kill Teiso or blow up the whole facility with antimatter bombs. Though given a chance, he can be friendly. Being very playful and enjoying partying, at first he manages to befriend Ted and Alice, but with them being from the opposite sides, it doesn’t last long and so he doesn’t hesitate to betray them to achieve his goals. The only person that starts to see good in him and tries to protect him is Juno. Being struck by her kindness and later “adopted” by her, he starts to see her as the only person he cares for. And so he decides to disobey his orders to save her life, even though he knows he’s gonna be punished by death as a traitor


Ted - Theodore Brown (20). Caught after the Second Nonary by Alice, a secret agent, Ted and his brother were recruited by SOIS due their esper abilities. Wanting revenge on FTS, an organization responsible for the Nonary Project, he doesn’t hesitate to join the fight to stop them from hurting more people. After months of training he’s been sent to his first mission as a spy, to infiltrate their HQ facility, but it turns out to be a trap. Being caught, he’s forced to watch Alice’s father's death as a warning for the agents. Scared for his life, Ted’s been rescued by Alice, whom he starts to see as his hero and a role model. Having the same goal, understanding their traumas and being on the same wavelength with similar passions they quickly become friends… and something more for him. Secretly in love with Alice, but knowing he’s hetero, he keeps himself at a distance, to not make him uncomfortable and not ruin their friendship. Suffering from unrequited love and adoring him just from afar. Still he tries his best to be seen by him as a skilful and useful agent and partner and not just as a kid and rookie, especially after his previous failures, feeling guilty of Alice's father's death. Unfortunately, before he has another chance to prove himself, a day before their next raid they’re kidnapped to take part in the AB game. Which makes it his 3rd Nonary game, for which he’s quite bitter.


Alice - Alice Baillieu (27). A secret agent and commander of SOIS, an organization training espers in order to fight against FTS. Ever since his father was abducted by them and, as a cloning specialist, used to help them create a perfect, loyal to their leader race in order to create a new better world, Alice swore to rescue him and stop them. Thanks to his super mathematical skills he’s able to calculate very fast even very big numbers, which helped him in reaching his goal of becoming a leader in an agent organization. Very smart and determined, he’s ready to take the risk and sacrifice his life to achieve his goals. Faced with many failures he can be bitter at times and is rather short-tempered. Still on a daily basis he’s quite chill and friendly, liking to play, sing and dance. The more it connects him to Ted and so they quickly become friends. Especially after their failed raid on a FTS’ HQ facility, on which his father is killed and he has to rescue Ted, who’s been sent there as a spy and caught. Since that day they work closely to prepare another attack and stop FTS from releasing a bioweapon. Unfortunately, the day before their next raid, they’re kidnapped and frozen to take part in the AB game almost 50 years later.


Juno - Juno Klim (19/27). A robot created 19 years ago to take care of small Kyle and become his mom. Made in the image of Sigma’s long gone wife, to replace her, but neither Kyle sees a mom in her (or a person at all), nor Sigma sees her as his partner. Which makes her miserable, as she’d like to be accepted by Kyle and be seen as something more than a daughter by Sigma, whom she secretly loves. She’s very caring and kind, but also shy and quiet. She mostly likes spending time with nature and music, being able to sing and play instruments. Her most beloved belonging is a pendant music-box with a blue bird, given to her by Sigma, to help her at times she feels sad and lonely. She’s also been programmed to have medical knowledge. Her main struggle is to be accepted by others as a person, with her own will and not to be seen as an object, controlled by humans. Forced to take part in a cruel AB game, which was designed to bring a lot of suffering and death, she finally manages to find her humanity and disobey her orders, to not let anyone be hurt by the project. Adopting Dio in the process, as she’s always really wanted to become a mom and he was in need of a family and a caring friend.


Sigma - Sigma Klim (22/68). A biotech student fascinated by genetic engineering, who moved to Japan to study. A gentle giant that’s always very kind, reliable and helpful to everyone. Very friendly, talkative, confident and open extrovert, that’s also quite pervy~ but he always tries to respect others’ boundaries. His main love are CATS, but to say he’s a cat-guy would be an understatement, as he’s just crazy about them, always talking with cat puns. Unfortunately, he’s never had an occasion to have his own cat, that’s why he spends a lot of his free time in cat cafes. The rest he’s spending either with his friends or at the gym, to work on that perfect bod 💪 He’s a family guy, that would love to one day have a happy family of his own, but for now he’s focused more on having some fun~ A mnemonist able to remember even very long lists of random numbers. Can be naive, lost in some situations and fast to jump into conclusions, missing signs, but he always tries his best. Has very strong morals and won’t let anyone hurt others in his presence, ready to act and even sacrifice himself for the sake of others. Stricken by very bad luck, not able to come back home on Christmas, he’s been kidnapped to a very deadly and dangerous game. Just to learn later that he’s actually his own kidnapper and as his consciousness is temporarily “trapped” in the future, in his old body, forced to learn how to shift and be an esper, his old self is currently in his young body, trying to save the world.


Rho - Rho Neumann (22). A student and assistant at MIT in the astrophysics division. Very shy and calm, an introvert type that’s always very serious and doesn’t like to party and joke around. A perfectionist that likes to surround himself with clean, white objects and suffers if things are not orderly enough. As he’s not exactly a human he has some special abilities, like jumping very high, but he tries to keep his true identity secret. Adopted, homeschooled and raised mostly at the University by his scientist father, who’s a lecturer at MIT, he didn’t have much contact with his peers and so he doesn’t have many friends and has problems with befriending people at his age due to having poor social skills. Having spent most of his life learning, he’s very smart and well-read, always speaking in an educated manner. As an ace, his one and only true love is astronomy about which he knows everything. With his slow-paced and quiet life, he’s rather cowardly and not ready for any action, preferring to be more of the brain of the group. That’s why he’s able to create a perfect team with Sigma, who prefers to be the action man and needs someone to point things out. Bound by fate and kidnapped together to a dangerous game that's meant to teach them how to use their esper powers, he befriends Sigma, who later becomes the most important person in his life. That’s why, even though he doesn’t care about the world and other people’s lives, at least not to the point of sacrificing himself, he decides to help him in his fight to save everyone.


Mathias - Oliver Hanson (67). A traveler, tinkerer and trader. A man with broken dreams. After a failed search for Starling and the apocalypse that happened a year after, he’s spent his whole life trying to survive and find his new place in the devastated Earth, avoiding being infected by a deadly virus that, together with antimatter reactor explosions, killed over 6 billion people. Having lost everything and everyone he’s ever loved, he joins a group of vagabonds, scavengings ruins to find supplies and useful things to trade. He starts a new relationship, but after losing his lover in a gang fight he decides to leave and travel alone, only to settle down in a small postapo village. Faced with yet another loss, decides to lead a life of a lone wolf. It changes only years later, but not due to another partner, but a small child. Finding an abandoned infant in the ruins and not able to find new parents for him, he decides to adopt the kid and name it Teiso, after his first and only true love, whom he still misses. To the point he doesn’t hesitate much to take part in another Nonary, just for a promise of meeting with him in a game and finally getting his answers about Starling’s sudden disappearance almost 50 years ago. Due to his experiences, he’s become quite bitter and grumpy. He’s still helpful and high-principled, but life taught him to be more careful and not trust others too easily. Believes that nothing is white or black and always tries to get to the truth, before judging. He’s determined and ready to do everything for the ones he loves, to protect them. Never gonna say no to a good whiskey~


Nintendo - Teiso Hanson (11). Adopted by Oliver as an infant, he’s been raised by him in a postapo village on Earth, where they live together and work as traders; travelling and looking for goods in the ruins, repairing those that need fixing. Learning later in life that he’s been adopted and that his grandpa at first was trying to get rid of him, he feels betrayed and runs away, although seeing Oliver’s dedication to find him, even for the cost of his own health, he comes back never to doubt his love again. He’s a very lively and curious kid, who loves to tinker and create new things. Fascinated by the old world and how it was before the apocalypse, he adores listening to his grandpa's stories. Despite being young he’s very clever, cunning and knows how to act, especially that a rough life prepared him for many different scenarios, having to face lots of dangers and dishonest people. That’s why the only person he truly trusts is his grandpa, whom he loves like no one else, and so he’s gonna do everything to protect him and make him happy, especially knowing about his misfortunes in the past. He’s very friendly and playful and really likes to sing and dance, which at first makes him fascinated by Alice and Ted, who also sing and dance a lot.

K - Kyle Klim (22). Sigma’s son and his clone. Very smart and well read, spending most of his days on learning. Isolated and raised in a Moon facility, mostly by simple robots as his father was too busy and depressed to take care of him, he lacks social abilities and has a hard time expressing emotions. Rather lazy, very calm and stoic, although pushed to his limits, he’s able to fly into a fit of rage, trashing the whole room to let off the steam. At age of 3, as he asked his father for a true family, Juno was introduced to him as a new mom. However, learning she’s not a human, he feels betrayed and starts to hate robots. He’s a cat-guy, just like his dad, but loves cows too. Spending a lot of time looking at “Mini Cow Ski Resort”, a model of winter city filled with knitted cows created by Sigma and Ingrams, he grows to be very fond of it, later learning how to knit himself. His life changed for the better only after Ingrams moved in, to become a family with Klims and help with the ABP. Gaining a new human company to play with, fixing relations with his father and later on becoming his helper in the laboratory, he finally starts to feel happy and satisfied. The more he’s devastated learning what ABP really means and that the game will most probably take Teiso and Sigma’s life, endangering him too. That’s why he tries to stop it and sabotage the Project to save his family, but his efforts are futile and so he takes part in the game, armored and amnesiac.

Last few months weren't really kind for all astrofolks in my country, with all those clouds and bad weather, BUT! Last weekend, as I visited my grandma who lives in a countryside, I manage to spot a cloudless night. AND I DID IT! :D I found our beautiful comet and I caught it on a photo~

Comet

Wait, what do you mean you can't see it? It's right there, on the left, that super small a bit green blurry dot. Yes, right there!


Ok, I know, I know! It's not spectacular nor stunning in any way. But that stacked, blurry image was all I could get. Still I'm SUPER happy I got it! And that I can proudly say I took a photo of the comet 😌


But if that doesn't impress you, here I can share two other images with a bit better quality. A photo of Orion, Taurus and Mars and a beautiful evening scenery with Venus and Jupiter shining through pink clouds ♥ It was soo pretty, almost fairy-tale like, especially when it was even earlier and the sky was brighter and more pink and purple 💜

Orion Byk
Jupven

And with that let's say goodbye to our lovely comet, that's leaving our solar system for good. Hopefully soon we'll have more fascinating events to look forward to. Take care! (*´︶`*)╯

As some of you may already know, after 50k years, the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) has returned, making it's closest approach to the sun... and to us! As it's already past it's perihelion, it's still coming closer to the Earth, becoming brighter each day, and right now it's even possible to see it with the naked eye!


ARE YOU EXCITED TOO!? ヽ(☆▽☆)ノ


Now, of course it's not gonna look like on all those long exposure photos, with that beautiful, long green tail, but more like a blurry dot, but it's still a very rare and thrilling event! And I'm definitely waiting for it to get closer, to be able to see it better!


At the beginning of February it's gonna reach it's brightness pick (5mag), which is not much, but already makes it possible to see it without any telescopes, especially on a rural sky with little light pollution. So if you live in a big city like me, I recommand to travel to more empty spot, for better results.


For more details and to know where to find it, see the link here ;)

Wishing you all clear skies and great observations!

Can't wait to see all the beautiful photos ♥ Cover photo by Embers and Stars

Just like in the title... but hear me out! Of course it's not good I have it, but I'm super glad I finally know what's wrong with me and how to fix it.


As you may know from my previous post, I've been struggling with some health problems, together with my excessive hair loss and lack of energy. I've went to some doctors before, but it didn't really help and I stopped as I didn't have a health insurance, thinking it may be just a problem with stress/depression or genetics.


But since I have a health insurance now, I’m taking a full advantage of it, trying to do a full body check-up to see what's going on. To the point I'm already sick of it, as I want all those appointments to stop xP But I'm not giving up until I will go through all of them, to be sure everything's fine 💪 As for now all my exams went well, so that's good news! And the only serious thing that's been found was: anaemia, which explains many things. It's been a month since I'm taking my iron supplements and I definitely noticed a sudden hair growth! My head is full of baby hairs and it does feel fuller now, so I'm super happy! Also, as much as I'm still not full of energy, I feel like it's kind of helping me in that aspect too. Before I couldn't really exercise much, as just after minutes I was getting dizzy, needing to stop not to faint. I always though it's because I have a super bad form, but guess the fact my blood wasn't able to feed my body with the oxygen fast enough wasn't helping either, lol. I'm just starting my treatment, but I hope it will get better and the results of it will be even more noticeable. Soon I'm gonna have another blood check-up to see how much it improved and hopefully I won't have to take the pills for too much longer 😄


Hope you're doing well and remember about your check-ups too! Our health is the most important and it's always better to find out about eventual issues sooner. And if you're straggling with similar problems as mine, maybe you should check your blood too. Take care! 💗

Hello everyone!

Hello to my old and my new watchers! Which… WOW! There’s so many of you! Thank you so much for staying with me, even though I’ve disappeared quite abruptly. It’s been a looooong time since we last “saw” each other x’) I’m sorry for being so inactive through the last… how long… 2 years?? Wow... so yeah. It’s been a while x’V

And a lot of it was caused because of my work and lack of motivation to draw anything not job oriented, or be active on any social media, just hidden inside my comfort bubble with my closest friends. But as the time passed I started to grow more and more into showing up and at least giving you some update on what’s going on. Though, since there’s A LOT of things that happened through those years, I’ve decided to group it into some smaller sections, to make it more ordered and readable x’) And for those who don’t feel like reading EVERYTHING, I’ve prepared some TL;DR at the bottom too :v so don’t worry seeing this WALL of text. (Btw, this journal doesn't contain spoilers. Alerts are just announcements)


Let’s get started!

1. Job

You may remember from my last post that I’m currently working for an animation studio, creating a new Netflix cartoon - "Kajko and Kokosz”, which, to this day, is true. I’ve had some other additional jobs here and there in the meantime, but this one didn’t change, and what’s more, I’ve even got a promotion! I’m no longer working just on the backgrounds. I’m also a layout creator and an animator!!! :DAnd what’s even more, recently I’ve become an animation lead assistant too! You have no idea how HAPPY I am, as it was always my dream to work as an animator for some bigger production! That’s why with the future releases of new seasons, you’ll not only see illustrations done by me, but also CHARACTERS ANIMATED by me! ٩(>∀<)۶

And who knows, maybe one day, as I’ll progress more, I’ll get a chance to be a lead animator in some future productions as well! Sooo happy to finally be able to move further with my career ♥

2. My life and debt

Along with promotion, a rise came as well, which made me less stressed in the money field, as for now I’m finally able to fully support my family and not overwork myself. Although less stressed doesn’t mean completely stress free, as the problems with my parents' debts and the issues connected to it are still following us and I’m still struggling to break free from them. Not to mention the latest problems with inflation in my country, which also made my rent go up by 30%. That’s why I still feel under pressure and that also makes me unmotivated for many things, as I still need to focus on getting out of this situation rather than on making my life happy. And I can see how much the last years have changed me into a stressed, very insecure, workaholic scrooge, that’s jealous of those who can spend their money as they please, on some entertainment and not just to live and not be homeless. Who feels like time not spent on working and earning money is wasted, the same with money spent on things that aren’t truly a super necessity. Which resulted in my health getting worse, as I felt like spending money on doctors is a waste as well, as I’m still walking and breathing and only my looks and mental health suffer because of it. Which, at that time, didn’t feel like a big sacrifice, since working as a freelancer and living with my mom, who’s responsible for groceries, I’m very rarely going out anyway, becoming sort of a hikikomori. Though now, feeling a bit of a relief with my more stable incomes, and finally health insurance, I’m trying to fight these beliefs, even if it’s not easy and will probably take some time to fix. Still my situation is getting better and now I’m trying to respect my free time and really do something I enjoy, starting to care for myself too. For the first time in those 5/6 years even taking some days off to go on vacation! Trying to grab some of my youth, before it will be gone forever and the only thing I will be able to recall will be staring at my monitor, working. I already feel very bad with all those lost years that have passed on just working and saving what’s yet to save and I can’t not feel bitter about it. But the only thing I can change now is my future, hoping it will become a bit brighter and not throw any more big problems my way. Which I wish for all of you as well! I know the world struggles with its own problems everywhere. Wars, where the recent one affects even my country, as a close neighbour to the victims; escalating prices, global warming, cataclysms… but hopefully there are going to be some good changes to get uplifting news as well. It may take time, but let’s wait.

3. My RPG

In those last two years I’ve started writing a new RPG with my friends. You may remember me mentioning it, as I’ve posted a sketch of one of my characters from it, Bear. It’s the very same one, based on the Zero Escape series, but since then we’ve moved from the first chapter, went through VLR, wrote some additional stories, like childhoods or things in between the events and now are starting to write the last (sadly) ZTD chapter. So no spoilers please! As I’m still in the unknown, while my friend, who already knows the plot, is walking us through it as a DM, revealing new information bit by bit 👀 And what can I say other than… OH MY GOOOD THIS GAME IS AMAAAZING! IT’S ONE OF THE BEST RPGS I'VE EVER BEEN INTO AND I'M SUPER HYPED AND I LOVE THIS GAME!!11!!1 Yes, it's exactly the same as I wrote before, but what can I say! It’s really a very goood story and I can’t wait to learn the big reveal! And I ttly love the characters we’ve created and I can’t have enough playing as them ♥ Yes, they’re based on the ones from the original game, but other than some basic things that were needed for the plot, I’d say they’re far from being the same (especially as I couldn’t really meet the true 999 characters as it would result in spoilers x’) ). They’re ones of my most thought-through and deeply planned characters that are just a pleasure to play. The more I’m sad there are no more chapters to play and soon I will have to say goodbye to all those characters that I grew to love through all those years. But once we’ll go through the whole series, I’ll stop being forbidden to play the original and I’d really like to give it a try, to see the differences. Though I might already be biased with our own version x’V Still, even though I can’t say much, based on what I know already, I truly recommend the game! I’ve heard the second chapter is the worst one, and I can see why, but the first one and last one are worth it, I promise! So better start playing, before I’ll upload some spoilers! ;PWhich takes us to…

4. My art (SPOILERS coming soon!) and commissions

My lack of submitting anything new was connected to my lack of time, just as well as my lack of motivation. As I mentioned in a previous journal, I was just so drained from creative energy, I just didn’t want to look at my tablet any more, as just a thought of having to start a drawing, making a sketch, linearting it and then even coloring was too big of a struggle (and “waste of time” in my workaholic eyes). That’s why most of my drawings ended up in a rough sketch stage, never to be opened again. Right now I’m still struggling with coming back to drawing anything not job oriented, but I’m slowly starting to discover this “phenomenon” anew.

And to answer some of your questions: No, unfortunately, I’m not opening my commissions again. With my current responsibilities, I just don’t have much time for it. Not to mention that I’m trying to cool down with my work time and find some for myself. That’s why I also don’t know when I’d be able to open them once more. But with that gained time I’m trying to come back to my own art, so you can expect some new drawings! I already have some works prepared, that just waited for me to upload and as mentioned above, I still have some unfinished sketches and not started ideas that I’d like to take care of. Though even if I’m probably not gonna come back to my previous rate, I’ll try to upload here more often… like… something. Hoping you’ll like the new content as well! Which, btw, will be highly connected to my new RPG, so ZERO ESCAPE SPOILERS ALERT. Even though the characters are not exactly the same, the plot and many things connected to their stories are, as it was the base that couldn’t be changed. So if you’re planning to play the games, be aware of it while looking at my upcoming works and reading the descriptions. But don’t worry, Zero Escape things won’t be the only ones I’m about to post ;)As there’s also something new, I’m very passionate about lately~

5. New, old hobby - SPACE!

I’ve always been a big space fan. Even at school, if there were some science contests, I couldn’t ignore the astronomy ones. Unfortunately physics, which should also contain astronomy, usually had a very small portion of it, focusing on other branches, mostly classical physics, that were less interesting to me. So the maximum amount of knowledge I got were some basics like how many of the planets in the solar system there are or the most known astronauts and that’s quite it. That made the school subject not very interesting to me and lessened my interest in astronomy and physics as well, as I wasn’t getting anything to fuel my curiosity, having to focus on the things I’d actually have at my exams. But now, after playing the new RPG, that contained a big portion of quantum physics and astronomy knowledge, kind of forcing me to learn things about it to understand it better, it reminded me of my early childhood affection and my love blossomed again, strong as never before ✨ Since that I spend most of my free time learning new things about astronomy and some quantum physics, trying to make up for all those “lost years” and be up to date with news about space, learning about constellations and astrophotography as well. I don’t have the best equipment for that, nor money to buy some better lenses or cameras x’) Though it’s still cool to experiment and to actually see more of the stars and night sky after exposing it. Or the Andromeda galaxy! Maybe just as a blurry dot, but the fact is exciting nevertheless. Here are some examples of my best photos I’ve taken so far (in a big city, so guess they’re not the worst :P ). Featuring Mars with Pleiades on a first one and Saturn and Jupiter on the bottom.

As for the upcoming events, I can’t wait for Jupiter’s great opposition on September 26th, which will make the closest approach to Earth since 1963! Very good opportunity to observe it even without a telescope and it’s so beautifully bright on the sky ♥

The other one would be more local, as it’s gonna be a partial solar eclipse on October 25th, but maybe some of you will got a chance to see a total one~ jealous.


Anyway, don’t be surprised to see some more signs of me being a space freak as I’m preparing some new series about the topic :D

Hair

6. My hair

At first I wasn’t going to add an update to this one, thinking no one would probably remember about my goal to reach Vasdorl’s hair length, but I’ve been proven wrong as some people here asked me about it, to know how is it going. So! Here is the photo from this year’s spring, showing the maximal length I’ve managed to grew my hair :DFrom which I’m quite proud, as it’s also the longest hair I’ve had in my life, and I was trying to grow my hair before too.

Though it unfortunately didn’t change the fact it wasn't in the best shape. I was both super proud of it and super self-conscious, as together with my problems with excessive hair loss and my depression, made caring for them way harder and turned them more into uneven, broken shreds of my dream. That’s why this summer I decided to close this chapter and cut it short.

Shorthair

I’ve been wanting this type of hairstyle for some time already, but I still wasn’t sure if I should scrap so many years of dedication. But as my long hair was gradually making me more unhappy than anything, there was no going back. And I have to say I’m not regretting it at all! I also realized that as much as I still adore long hair and people who can do wonders with it, it’s not something for me and I feel much more comfortable with a so called “men’s haircut”, giving me that more agender look that I’m aspiring to. That’s why I’m not bothered by it that much and I like the change

7. My cats

Fortunately, nothing changed here, in a positive way. I’m still an owner of two cute fluffy siblings <3 Kajtek ♂ and Sasza ⧬

Lately Kajtek’s been a bit ill (bladder infection), but it’s nothing very serious and since he’s getting his medications, he’s getting better, so nothing to be worried about! And as always, he can keep <s>bothering</s> helping me at work.

Help

-TL;DR summary-


  1. I still work at the same place and on the same series, but I’ve got a promotion to an animation lead assistant! With a more stable paycheck and with a health insurance. Now working not only on background illustrations, but also layouts and animations which was always my dream ♥

  2. Still struggling with my parent’s debts and some problems associated with it, but it’s better than it used to be and now I’m able to fully support my family and not overwork myself. Though it’s still serious enough to keep me stressed and make me unable to close that chapter, to take a big relieved breath. Still I’m trying to fight my demons and focus not just on work, but myself too, to not only live, but also enjoy my life.

  3. PLAYING THE BEST RPG I'VE EVER BEEN INTO AND I'M SUPER HYPED AND I LOVE THIS GAME! It’s based on a Zero Escape series, but I’ve never played it before so everything that’s happening is a surprise for me. If you’ve never played it, go do it! ;D Currently starting to play the last, ZTD chapter.

  4. I’m not opening my commissions and since I’m not very productive lately, there’s not gonna be tons of new artworks showing up, but you still can expect new works soon. Mostly connected to my new RPG, that’s why… ZERO ESCAPE SPOILERS ALERT! Even though the characters are not exactly the same, the plot and many things connected to their stories are, as it’s just the base that couldn’t be changed. So if you’re planning to play the games, be aware of it while looking at my upcoming works and reading the descriptions. But don’t worry, Zero Escape things won’t be the only ones I’m about to post ;)

  5. I’M A SPACE FREAK NOW! 🪐💫✨ Hope you like the photos and look out for the great Jupiter opposition and eclipse!

  6. I’ve grown my hair, but due to some health problems, I’ve cut them short and I’m happy with my decision (*¯︶¯*)

  7. My cats are still cute and fluffy ଲ(=①ω①=)And Kajtek still likes to <s>bother</s> help me at work.

Well, that’s everything I can think of right now and I think it sums those last two years quite nicely. If you’d have any more questions about any of the topics, feel free to ask.

And also hope you’ve been doing fine! Or at least better too …and that this place is not dead yet x’) I’d gladly see who’s still here and meet new people. Not sure if artists have already found the perfect site to be active on? Still not moving from here, as dA was always quite close to my heart. I’ve heard about the big migration to Instagram, but I’ve never liked it and since it’s starting to change into another TikTok lately, focusing and promoting mostly reels, I’m not sure if it’s gonna stay the same, as it’s already been quite hard to be noticed there, without being popular already on some other sites and with the algorithm hiding your posts even from your own followers. Please, let me know what you think!


By that time, happy to be here again!

And thanks for your support.

Stay safe (´。• ᵕ •。`) ♡
