@Kitalpha Hart: xD I love that tho! Mazes are super fun looking.


@Synthetic Nature: Same. Whenever I need a break from life I just get on AC and it's like, the most amazing game for just unwinding and being able to create your own world. I love it.

Not sure if this is the right place or allowed here... But I finally uploaded my first youtube video on my channel! I have always wanted to do youtube but my anxiety would get the best of me, but today I finally did it and I just wanted to celebrate with everyone here! I won't link drop unless asked, but I just wanted to really be able to tell everyone about it because.... I'm just so happy! xD

@Jolly: Nah, I don't just insert it if it doesn't make sense. I talk about a lot of different things but if I can get myself out there, that's important to me. xD Especially with algorithms. The more people who even take a look at my profile... But I'm not begging for follows or pushing it. =D

@PurpdaBurpPurp: OOF. There are a lot of those accounts. The worst part is the ones that are adverts for bot account to buy followers. =\

I can't stop playing this game. All I want is to create this 5 star island masterpiece! I've been loving this game more than I thought I would when I bought it. But it's the first time I actually got to sink my teeth in with friends and it makes me so happy!

I will say, It feels like there are furniture gaps in the game. Lack of kitchen counter tops, and there seems to be very few options for DIy in the nlittle machine. I want more furniture available because Nook's cranny seems to have the same exact items going through most days.

Anyways, just thought I'd pop on and share with everyone! what do you guys think?

@Keturah: Yeah. I also think it's practice because I am officially going to start a YT channel, or I really want to. But I am so nervous. Like, i have these chunky arms and with my complexion my arm hair looks dark. xD And just being at work I can't do anything really with my nails/my hands will look awful sometimes so I am just hoping that I can actually be successful in this new little project.

@Koah: Do it! I know a lot of artists who try and find FC they can actually credit on insta! I love finding people who are cosplayers, etc. that I can model a painting off of. And it's super fun because I know who it is, and I can give proper credit.


@MoodyBats: This is true. Lol. I just don't know of any art challenges going around right now aside from mermay and I'm not sure I have the mental stamina for that this year. xD

@Koah: You are my favorite kind of customer! Lol. I had one customer come through who honestly I follow her back because her photoshoots she does are so inspiring. I asked before if she'd let me use her photos as ref for some paintings and she loves it.


@MoodyBats: No, I don't do that. Even seeing that on a post bothers me. Typically, since I live in a college town, we have a lot of alums and staff coming through our DT and it's been super good for networking with the department heads, etc. And a lot of other art students also come through. I mainly just use our customer connection requirement to be like 'yeah, I have to do this then go home and work on a project for art class.' and it spark natural conversation, and they usually ask if they can see some and I give them my insta because I can't just whip out my phone at work. xD In a lot of situations they love it. And even with no follows it's nice to get out there.


@Keturah: No, I don't expect follows. But it's good for networking practice. Especially if I want to eventually market myself to potential clients. I'm not super confident in my skills but due to drawing class and keeping up with daily practice and sketching, I do see a LOT of improvment and it makes me so happy to document and share it on my insta. And some people just like to check out my page and not follow. I'm good with that. xD I am not follow thirsty. I do have plans on adding youtube to my social media to try and eventually draw in more people. (my mount for my phone comes in today. I am super excited.)


@Kreatura: I used to be super self conscious about my artwork. xD Now I plug it because I gotta sell myself. My great grandpa is actually my biggest supporter and he's always like "you need to tell more people. You need to market this." xD and now going to school and hearing my profs do the same, I know it's something you have to do eventually. I just sometimes hope it's more natural and not like a push to ask for followers.

Since instagram changed algorithm do you tend to shamelessly plug your instagram with everyone you happen to meet?

Like I'll be at work (I work at starbucks) and we will be doing the whole customer connection and I somehow like, bring up my art and my instagram, and sometimes I get follows from my customers and coworkers because I do this. xD But I wonder if this is annoying or something I shouldn't do? xD

@Kairie: (sorry, been a bit out of it but gonna try and push some replies out before work starts this week)

"Hey. And you bet, I'm dead tired and I want out before there's another event." He said, letting out a tired breath. "I'm in need of the rest, though knowing how my life goes, I won't get much." He shook his head slightly, realizing his sudden pessimism coming through. "Sorry. Just really tired. Anyways, I was going to head out. Was wondering if you stayed all night or if you'd have left already." He said, not knowing if she'd need a ride home or if she took the bus. He didn't want to assume either way.

@Xanthan: Right!

And exactly. I restarted thinking it'd be fun to relive things and I just started to feel suffocated by everything I knew I'd have to do to get back to where I was... Eugh. To be able to experience it, completely blind again... Ughh...

Recently resubbed after uni year one, and decided to make a new character. I was suuper excited to hope back in, and friend got me a story-progress to get to ShB so I can just grind levelling (which I love) and watch all cutscenes. And when I went to Ishgard and heard the music it was like, bam. Nostalgia. xD And all I could think was, I wish I could get gaming amnesia so I could reexperience the magic of this game all over again.

Ever get that feeling?

@Kairie: If you wanna! Lol. I am a-ok with all the new flowrs and fruties. xD I haven't played much today because there isn't much to do except grind to pay off the house. xD

Yeah... I mean... If you like them, I'd definitely treat yourself. xD I have yet to get mine. It's shipped tho!
