So I have been out of practice on drawing for many years and wanted to get back in and tried going down the drawabox route, it didn’t work for me attention span and what not. But I was watching videos on the YT and guy named Kesh popped up and I really dug his philosophy on drawing.

Anyway on a recent video he said to draw a character 10 times as an exercise so I chose Hellboy. I learned alot really fast and tried out color (which I didnt ever do) and it got me to get my first set of alcohol markers. Now im either moving on to another character or doing the chibi 10 day thing idk lol

So on the way to work yesterday told my partner of 12 years (married 10) that i wanted to change pronouns and pretty sure leaning towards NB.

I was so scared but it went great! They told me they were supportive and loved me! I have (luckily) a very cool and supportive work environment and will probably slowly come out to some co workers but any who actually pay attention will know since i changed pronouns in work chat and HR app.

Received these as a Father’s Day gift from my Mother. They belonged to my Dad (never got to meet him) in late 80s or early 90s.
Was wondering any information on them, I have never owned any, and how to clean/ take care of them. They still work and have been watching the birds and Deer in the backyard.

Playing Ruby, wiped to Winona. Thinking taking the white out and either restarting or trying to make this work.
Either way going to walk away for a day.

I jinxed myself. Just yesterday i was telling my partner how easy vanilla games are then lost 3 mons on way to Winona and then wiped.

First time I’m playing! Been told to take my time and also try to do palace’s asap. Going guideless and avoiding spoilers. Not looking at this reddit till credits!

Did Gold forgot to take pictures of my Hall of Fame and didnt do Kanto/Red since im jumping right into Ruby now. Ill probably do bits of Kanto here and there.
Lost half my team to a bad crit and them panic but took down last 2 of 4 and Lance with a Dewgong lol

Might I say think about a visit to Point Pleasant and visit the Mothman Museum along the way.
My partner and I traveled through on the way to Clancy tour in 2024 and stopped on a whim, they have the most wonderful staff and the town is right on the border of Ohio so it feels like a good place to stop one last time before crossing the border.
Its now become a must stop for us like a shrine on a pilgrimage.

Also they are really proud of the shiny hiny.

Played Red. 12 deaths total one being Skrull (Flareon) in the elite four.
I learned alot! Mainly the 4 Ps
Patience
Persistence
Preparation
Pay Attention

All my deaths but one came from that(Flareon was sacrificed for a clean change)

I had a blast and am jumping right into my next one on Gold!
