Alright, I think I am satisfied enough with the layout and 'look' of this blog to leave it be for a moment, though I am by no means done with tinkering.

And what better way to make a new post in this new environment by slumping on my desk by the sheer number of fanart I want to save?

I have been burned multiple times over by deleted fics and fanart, which has precipiated me to save as much of my hyperfixations as much as I could. Currently, it's Project Hail Mary and SFAWTDE/DAWTDE which has led me to become Sisyphus rolling his stone up the mountain. I would like what I see on Tumblr and Twitter, and then try and save it into my PC as soon as I am able. If I consider a saving-session done, I would rest my laurels for a day or two before beginning again.

I can just let these beautiful pieces of work pass me by. But... so pretty...





Besides that, I went to an art illustration fair on Friday and found a local queer artist who loves to draw Malay men being unabashed in their love for other men, all in local styles and symbolism. I have known of this guy for quite some time now on social media and on previous fairs, but this is the first time I am willing to have what he has beautifully made.

I spent RM50. I regret nothing.

So I have watched Project Hail Mary (twice!!) and it has become, needless to say, my latest hyperfixation.

So when I heard there was going to be a local anime con this weekend, I immediately jumped out and began planning to go there. I know the movie was too recent for any new fanmerch to be made on time, but I couldn't help but hope.

And that hope was rewarded!

Out of all the tables and booths, only one had PHM fanmerch! A print and a Rocky sticker! And it was such a niche booth too with the fanartist also having SlimeKnight from SFAWTDE, Klance, OMORI, and a single Sleep Token keychain.

I bought all the PHM, SlimeKnight, and Sleep Token stuff on that booth. MINE.
