Me: *remembers tumblr is imploding*

Me: ohhhhhhhhhh

I can't even be arsed to check if any of my posts on tumblr got flagged. If they did, so be it. I was done with that site over three years ago, and I only check one tumblr these days, and I haven't reblogged anything in...over a year omg.

I can't even remember the last time I logged in.

(Although OMG YOU GUYS I'VE HAD A WORDPRESS BLOG FOR THREE YEARS!!!! I don't think the first attempt even lasted three months)

In other news, I picked up a second hand copy of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time yesterday, so I will have that to watch while I am arting/whatnot.

I don't know anything about it, so don't know what to expect. Maybe it's better that way.

I am at Raithwall's Tomb in FFXII. I made it through the Ogir-Yensa/Nam-Yensa Sandsea without getting pasted by Alraunes (unusual in my experience). However, I almost ran head first into not one, but TWO Salmand Entites on the oil rigs! That never usually happens. I know there's one route you shouldn't take because there's always an Entite on it, but there's not usually two. So I had to take the long way round, and I didn't find the map, and I got utterly lost.

They were very pretty, though.

Deadly as heck, but pretty.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I am thinking of carrying on my liveblog of FFXII from four years ago. It bugs me that I never finished it, yet I have notes right up to the end game sitting around doing nothing. So I can use my notes in conjunction with whatever I'm feeling right now as I play. And also any points I want to make as regards the German LP I am watching. They'll mostly be translation notes - I'll cover stuff I've already discovered in the next entry I make.

Other than all that, I've been faffing about with some art stuff, none of which is what I'd said I do, or had been thinking of doing.

I swatched all my watercolour pencils the other night, because I've wanted to use them for years, but always been slightly afraid of them? I think maybe if mum had showed me how to use them as a kid, I might not be as weird about them? IDK. (She gave me a set when I was about ten, but I always just used them as normal coloured pencils, rather than for their intended purpose. I still have some stubs left, so maybe I should dig those out of the pencil case they're in). And it's not like I don't have enough watercolour paper to work on right now.

Can I just say that the Derwent Inktense ones really live up to their name? They're amazingly well pigmented. I can't wait to use those for something.

I'm going to post the swatches on my instagram, so I'll link here once it's gone up if you're at all interested in that kind of thing.
