Haircut + Family Lore Dump + Art

All I've been wanting this week is to come here and yap but life happened a lot this week! I'll be back later to catch up but I need to unload brain soup a little.

1. I went to get a bob-like haircut. It's the shortest it's been since college. heart kaomoji smiling with sparkles



2. I went with my MIL, who is a very cool fellow bi. She is in a happy WLW relationship and I love'em both. But she dropped some Lore (with a capital L) when she drove me back home. It's not my story to tell all haphazardly, but I'll just say it was full of heartbreak, queer yearning, US south-flavored religious trauma, internalized lesbophobia, sorrow, tragedy, and an untimely death. :(
But I've barely gotten to process all that because...

3. The next day, I had to scramble because I completely forgot my I had agreed with my friend to reschedule our body doubling meetings to Wednesday. She kindly waited for me on Discord, and we got to hanging.
I fear I've been yapping too much during what's supposed to be work time. :( I would like to be a bit more mindful of that.
Either way! I finished a Litleo for [personal profile] javert who was a darling and released some super cute Trubbish icons to the world.
I posted the art with bg color in my art journal, but~



Pokemon Litleo is a brown lion cub with big round eyes and a tuft of bright flame-like mane at the top of its head. This one is playing with a blue ball of yarn while looking up innocently.
Will I ever figure out how to properly make images responsive is the question... angry kaomoji with fire and steam


4. ANYWAY, THAT SAME DAY (at night)... after I was done with the drawing... I got a migraine!! :(
I started feeling funny but I thought a gummy was hitting me weird. Then I closed the office room and by the time I went to bed I had a ~gnarly~ headache on the right side of my head. I was also dizzy, sound-sensitive, light-sensitive, and all that jazz.
I only started getting migraines in adulthood. My mom has gotten pretty bad migraines occasionally, though I don't remember having any as a child. Mom says I need to talk to my doctor about it. Which, yes, I know I do. I just need the executive function to make an appointment with the doctor's office in the first place.
Either way, MIL is helping me with that so hopefully I get to go soon to address stuff. Maybe before the orange overlord's Medicaid Cuts kick my ass. :(

5. Same Body Double Friend and I videocall on Thursdays for Baldur's Gate. But we decided to turn this day into "movie time." We watched KPop Demon Hunters. I posted my thoughts about it on letterboxd but I'll add them here.


"Y.R.P. in position. It's showtime, girls ;)"

visuals: GORJ.
pace: insane.
music: great!
the girls: bard magical girls feat. cool shiny weapons. Killing demons to the beat of their own diegetic music but also THEIR BLADES? The indulgence is awesome.
plot: If you watch it thinking "this is something that would air on Toonami after Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" you might find a little more leniency in your heart.
Still, these are the pieces of something that might have worked better as an animated series.
Jinu: a real bishounen, i'm afraid.


6. Then I finished the day with a 4 hour phone talk with my mom. I hadn't talked to her in over 2 weeks, and she was too sick to answer my calls this past week so we had much to catch up on. I've missed her dearly so I'm glad we chatted. I'm happy that she's trying to take better care of her health. We both have the type of ADHD that we kind of leave things be for too long. Hearing her want to try to do better is motivating though. I was already trying to eat a bit better, so I'm more inspired to do so. We have to mind our sugar and kidneys.

Omg, I wanted to be done with this in 20 minutes but the yappin' just don't stopppp (and HTML learning curves... hmph mad kaomoji)

Okokok good night!! After I get some rest, I want catch up with Sunshine Revival and some very sweet comments I've been spotting from my e-mail! :^) I love it here in dreamwidth btw. People are so nice and attentive.

xoxo!

I agree so much about KPop Demon Slayers--it really would've worked better as an animated series! I guess the issue there is that they would've have to even more make hit-sounding pop songs than they made for the movie.

Also love the bob!!

That bob really suits you!! Thank you so much again for the Litleo drawing, I love it so much 🥺🥺🥺

My partners really want to check out KPop Demon Hunters so we'll probably watch it after we're done with ASOUE and Squid Game. It seems fun!

"The yapping don't stop" is so relatable lmaoooo me whenever I'm posting on here... Oop

Your bob is so cute!! I am also team short hair these days due to my own history of chronic migraine. I started getting them in early adulthood too, altho I've been able to experience some improvement since getting on a daily med for prevention over a year ago. I hope your MIL can assist you in getting into the doctor's sooner than later, and hopefully make some headway towards being more comfortable!

Adorable poke-pal <333333

DW has been a great platform for me, happy to hear you're enjoying it too c:

(Also! I'm dropping your letter in the mail today <3)

The bob is GOOD!

I love your Litleo!!

I too get migraines on the right side of my head with light/sound sensitivity, so please let me know if I can be a resource. For me, they started in puberty, but I really became a professional migraineur in my early 20s.
