Someone on Twitter mentioned that in some regions of Germany, a common idiom for whenever there's mist in the forest is "The foxes are making coffee", and thought the image was evocative enough for an illustration.
Well, I took the bait! 🦊☕

Art, sorta preview-y
A heavy strikecraft currently controlled/piloted by a Mind from the "Void Witches" experimental carrier division streaks towards the camera, showcasing their custom hull-art.
These heavy strikecraft are approximately 40m-ish (I've not decided yet!) long, and are exclusively deployed, as with all other strikecraft, in heavily-debris-filled mission zones, hiding around the debris to avoid being instantly atomized by heavy (and very speedy!) terran cannon fire.
Am home safe, travel and stuff today went fine. Body seems to be doing a bit better too.
(Will do more detail later but wanted to make sure people didn't worry)
re: Life, Body Stuff, Autism -
I'm worried that sounds melodramatic
But I've either got the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had from some falafel (highly unlikely), a weirdass response to going back on Quetiapine (only slightly less unlikely), or my body is telling me I'm pushing too hard in New And Exciting Ways
So I may be literally too sick to do the journey back solo/early. Still.. Will be home one way or another tomorrow, come hell or high water. That's the important thing.
Life, Body Stuff, Autism -
I put a great deal of time, effort and money into going into an irl meetup thing.
It went exactly as they tended to when I stopped going to them. (aka: "Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes")
Still. Is only tonight and tomorrow left, then I'm home again.
Will try to foreshorten tomorrow as much as possible, but that depends a lot on physical symptoms that have been made a lot worse by this.
Might not be physically feasible in my current state.
I swear to god this place needs an exorcism.

[ Architecture of Control - ]
Birmingham New Street has recently tried to update its image, presumably to drag itself away from its well-established national reputation as a Non-Euclidean Despair Warren.
(Whenever you mention you're passing through Birmingham New Street, the news will usually be greeted much as if you just said you're due to catch an unfortunate illness; A grimace, sincere condolences and hopes that it will pass as quickly and painlessly as possible)
Part of this attempt to update its image has been adding what can only euphemistically be described as 'benches' along the taxi rank;
For the understandably-confused, these benches can be identified as the row of angry concrete blocks with metal spikes jutting from the edges.
..Yeah, those ones.
If there were any proof needed that some spirit inherent in New Street has a seething hatred for humanity, this would be it.

I am in glorious Birmingham!
Glorious, dreary Birmingham.
..Look, not by *choice*.
God Western music notation/terminology is a butt
Just.. Just throw it out and replace it with something where one word doesn't have a half-dozen different potential meanings
And half of them are old Italian words
And we've got some stuff left in from, uh *checks notes* ..Medieval church organs?
..Yeah, maybe get a feather duster in here

@theoutrider & @bentosmile don't like Deep Space 9 and the Les Miserables musical
But despite these failings they're still two of my Problematic Faves here and I'm grateful to be friends with them both

I found out last night that Star Trek: Online calls the fighters, shuttles and such that a Carrier can deploy
"Hanger Pets"
This is wonderful and pure
Let's just use this with everything from now on, including irl ones
(reason is MMO naming conventions regarding semi-controllable companions, I think)

I still crack up whenever anyone posts
" something about whales [cetacean needed] "
Please never stop doing that joke
Some misc creature sketches for gamedev stuff
Idk if I'm even gonna go with a semi-specbio style, idk if it fits the game concept well
But I like this kinda thing a lot, and I'm trying to get back into drawing regularly again
So sketches

I got some Unity learning stuff done!
Like, today was "foggy ughhh fffn push through do this" (which is not a good idea for learning tasks) but then chilled for a bit with K and came back to it a couple of hours later and got some actual stuff done
And felt like I absorbed what I was doing, which is the important part
