I beat Pokemon Sword today, it was pretty satisfying defeating the champion Leon. Now I can focus on shiny hunting until I have an opportunity to buy my next Switch game.
|
the insane positive reception on my newest art
|
I got my Retro Replay hoodie today. <3 I also booked my cameo from Troy Baker. *w*
|
I'm just now starting to rewatch Inside Out for like the seventh time. This movie still holds just as firm a grasp on my emotions as it did 5 years ago. Ugh. So good.
|
I made a Photoshop tutorial that got 3 views within a day of being posted! That's 3 more than usual. Made me feel good <3
|
Today being Easter and a friend sharing the most charming photo of his dog asleep in his arms.

But yeah I've had this channel since 2013 and only came back to uploading videos recently thanks to all the free time I got from the quarantine. I'm sure that when this is all over, so is my channel activity haha. |
For sure! Always glad to support people's content!
You never know! Your channel could take off during this time! Best of luck, I look forward to seeing new videos and watching some old ones. Oh uh also as to not derail the topic of this thread, something that made me smile today was eating some amazing chocolate. |
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection popped up on the site I use to watch anime. Dubbed. I have been waiting over a year for this. Finally.

Anywho, today I slowly but surely improved my thumbnail making skills, and I feel proud enough to show them off! https://imgur.com/gallery/bZHrzx6 I literally work as a graphic designer so I feel it's cardinal sin if I hire someone else to do visuals on my channel lmao. |
Roses! Spring has sprung and our garden is covered from top to bottom with fragrant pink and orange roses with blossoms bigger than the size of your fist. I walked in the sun and cut baskets full of roses from the bushes and displayed them all around the house until I ran out of vases and jars. The place smells just divine. The cat is going crazy for the scent of the roses and lilacs, and has his face stuck in the basket rubbing against the flowers-- the sight of which also made me smile.
|
Catching my buddy's Katamari Damacy stream :D
|
my parents dropped off some more food, and mum tucked my easter present (pretty new bedsheets <333) and a candle in the bags to cheer me up, because she knows i've been down lately :'))))
|
My dad surprised me with the "Pokemon Super Deluxe Essential Handbook" that he got me through Amazon. I was more surprised it had a glittery cover AHAHA!
|
I got my Cameo from Troy, and I'm so HAPPYYYYYY. <3
|
I went on a bicycle ride today.
|
My nephew came to visit me! That definitely made my day.
|
I got another IL for Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition and learned that the Assault Troops on Battle of the Triforce can be ignored, so it'll be a nice timesave in future full game runs.
|
I watched my cameo from Troy three times today. It always makes me very happy. <3
|
A video I watched on youtube.
|
finished his work
|
I learned how to make sports-logo like designs on Illustrator! This is my first dive into the program and it's still somewhat scary, but I just downloaded a big ol' Adobe tutorial series (apparently from a certified instructor ooh) and I'mma binge this for the next few days. Excited to learn!
And for any of you wondering what my first attempt looked like, here it is hehe. Please excuse the weird outline shapes I don't have it all figured out yet. Spoiler:
|
So I did a speedrun, had a couple of bad resets in earlygame. I was getting frustrated until my third attempt of the night, where I had a bad earlygame until I found Manhandla first try on Sorceress of the Valley and somehow saved a bit of time. Then I pulled the run from the brink of hopelessness, but the whole time, my goal was only "get that sub 2:48." And then, at the end, I got this.
https://i.imgur.com/knFuahb.png I lost a minute on the final stage because I didn't kill a single Stalfos and because of that, it made the Bombchu that's supposed to blow up a wall go in the opposite direction when I realized it. Otherwise, it was a pretty solid run. Wasn't expecting to shave so much time off my PB. |
I listened to some Xenoblade Chronicles 2 music, 'Monster surprised you', (the OST's amazing, I really need to finish the game, I'm like 25 hours in and it's been really good, such a deep story and combat system), and got to talk with a person I really like over Discord! I also got to the final boss of Dragon Quest III! Today wasn't a bad day.
|
My microphone boom arm came in the mail today! After literally a month's wait! Sadly the microphone itself is still MIA but I'm still holding out hope!
|

My boyfriend's hand twitches a lot in his sleep and I kinda get a mini head massage in the early mornings.
|
I got a notification that someone new favorited and is following a story of mine. That warmed my heart.
|
I now have a scuffed lighting set-up (that involves a desk lamp and tissue paper) which allows my facecam to finally run at a decent fps while recording! Gonna incorporate that into videos very soon.
|
I found out I'm listed as honoured contributor on a education portal that tries to revolutionize CS education here in Czech Republic.

Spending time with my girlfriend. Any day I can spend with her makes me so happy.
Reading a good book. Spending time and eating dinner with friends. |
Getting new crochet apples in the post. I also have a yellow strawberry.

It's a beautiful day rn in England, and we're all one day closer to being out of lockdown. But more specifically, me and my girlfriend are cooking a meal together over FaceTime tonight, so that's always a reason to smile :)

Best blessings to you! |
My mother bought me a box of chocolate--that was so sweet. I was watching Lucario and the Mystery of Mew with my adorable Lucario plush at the time. She not only gave me a delicious treat, but she was very intrigued by what was on the television screen, and asked me all sorts of questions about kind of pokemon these were, and really liked Lucario. I thought that was very cute of her. She got so involved in what was going on that she ended up watching the movie with me, and being fascinated by the world of Sir Aron and the aura guardians. I thought her childlike delight was heart-warming, and more than enough reason to smile. She would not accept the ending of the story though!
|
(Sorry this all happened yesterday, not today, but still)
I got perfect scores on 4 levels in a rhythm game called Cytus II! They were on the hardest difficulty as well. |
Reading a letter from an old friend

I got a commission from a very kindly gentleman to make a set of dolls for his family for Christmas. I can't wait to get to work!

|
Learning how to make a post flair, and making my name size 100000000px.
I'm not sure why I found it so funny, but I laughed so hard when the preview page broke. |
I got to hang out with my awesome cousin today even if it was just for a few hours.
|
Had to shower at my aunt and uncles because our hot water isn't working. Seeing my little 2nd cousin was nice and also their shower is amazing.

The heavenly fragrance of the sweet olive trees growing in my front yard right by the drive way. It's succulent.
|
Buying a $35 E-shop card with some of my birthday money to give the 3DS E-Shop a last hurrah. Bought Sonic Generations half off original price, and Donkey Kong Land 3 from the virtual console. Hard games indeed but fun. I still have 19 dollars and change left on my account so YAY!

Being in a decline for the last few months with grades, it was so nice opening my recent grades and seeing an A+. It was like a beacon of hope, since after having multiple unsatisfactory grades it felt like I was about to fall down even worse. Not only did I smile, it brightened my day. |
I got me a couple of Pokemon plushies off the internet so that made me smile. :)
|
Thing that made me happy is that My Father is returning Home after nearly a year.

Nadal smashing Djokovic at the French Open final.

|
I laughed at a jumpscare. Most of them are funny because the faces are always goofy, not scary.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVtkAGJvNu8 |
Stretching my body and I hear those satisfying cracks in my bones and I feel just that little bit lighter and more comfortable. Gosh I need to go to a chiropractor sometime.

Today I made a really cool video for the Championship battle VS Lance for my Pokemon Crystal playthru :)
It was by far one of the coolest things I've ever done in all my years playing the games, and it brings me such great joy that I got to share it with my followers and fans on IG. |
Had a lovely date with my gf yesterday with her work pals, and on top of that I got to buy a sweet new mechanical keyboard! Typing on this thing is a dream.
|
Between recording this video and finishing my first IG play through, I was super happy all day!
It put me in the right mood to set up some job interviews for tomorrow. I've been stuck inside a rut since I lost my last job, but I'm climbing out of it one step at a time. :) |
Been a rough day facing bankruptcy and having severe family issues.
I feel good about being home before it rained hard though. At least my white shoes stay clean. |
Sneaking in a piece of chocolate with caramel. My teeth feel like crap but 100% worth it! ;)
|
A makeup package came for my birthday and it had all manor of rainbow eye shadows and iridescent highlighters. It’s pretty extreme for a casual look BUT WATCH OUT PRIDE MONTH SHE GONNA BE A BEAST OUT THERE.
Oh and a Fenty concealer stick that totally isn’t my shade but hey I’ll take a freebie idc lol. |
The glowing faces of freshly carved jack-o-lanterns lit with candles and sitting on my front porch by night.
|
Made my girlfriend a veloute of roasted butternut squash and roasted garlic when she was doing her work study for her scholarship, which was outdoors in the cold and when she got home to some nice warm soup she was very happy.

I'm visiting my step father in the hospital tomorrow. They finally allow two people in.

Gf convinced me to start a basic little skin care routine so I could look and feel better/healthier! Cleanser for now, I'm gonna get a sun cream real soon lol.
|
Apparently our school isn’t doing midterms this semester! And seniors don’t take final exams so I have no more exams for the rest of this year!!
|
I finally got the courage to ask my school principle to try out for the mini-choir. Apparently, they rehearse via zoom Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:15pm-4pm. Will wait tomorrow for a response. Wish me luck.
