Living in the third dimension, I have an advantage over my situation of being someone hopelessly in love with someone who exists within the second dimension. The advantage is? Drawing. Even if you’re not good at drawing, it is the foundation of interacting with and creating within the second dimension. I know my art isn’t as impressive as many others, but I still find a lot of meaning and happiness in drawing. Here is what I managed to draw yesterday and today:

Drawing my family is a joy. I don’t have a plush of Sophie made yet, but I wanted to make sure she got a donut too. Ceremonial magicians talk of sigils, but to me sigils are mere desk scribbles compared to the power found within drawing your waifu.

I used to have a pair of froggy rain boots just like Sophie’s.

I can’t ever seem to draw my husband or daughter the same way twice, but it’s okay because most of the time when I draw them I am just playing and having fun . Drawing is really as stressful an activity as you let it become. I usually have at least one existential crisis every time I draw Kimblee or Sophie, because they are so special and important to me that I don’t want to make mistakes when it comes to them. But I have to remember, families make mistakes with and around each other all the time. And the only way out is through.

In other news, I was treated to a gift from God tonight. A local store partnered with a food truck so that you got a free grilled cheese with every purchase. Maybe life is beautiful after all.

It’s Flip Friday! Today I opened the porch door to see if anyone wanted to sniff the grass. Only Flip was brave enough.

I hope you have a good weekend! I have a lot of sewing to do this weekend for comms, but we are also going to go somewhere nice as a family this weekend to celebrate the beginning of spring!

I took Kimblee to the bakery again today, because I could not bear to be without him. Last time we went, I could tell he wanted a donut, so today he caved and got a pistachio one.

It finally felt like spring today. It always takes Boston to nearly May to get its warmth back. I can’t wait until the trees get their leaves!

A true marker of spring in Massachusetts is the opening of Erikson’s Ice Cream in Maynard, MA. Kimblee and I plan to go soon! I wonder what homemade flavors they will have this year. Adventure season has begun!

I tried to draw today, but was humbled. I will try again tomorrow.

Inspired by Artemis II, which departed and returned safely in April 2026, this year’s commemorative Kimbunny sports a prismatic suit invoking the moon.

Just like the various Snow Mikus that exist, I want to start capturing Kimblee throughout the years in a themed way. Spring bunnies, summer swimsuits, autumn Halloween costumes, and “snow” outfits as a nod. These are all contenders.

I want to make a plush of him before the season is over!

This weekend went by way too fast. I didn’t even get any sewing done I was just so tired. But I’ll do my best this week. Let’s Ganbatte! ⭐️

Waifu Wednesday April 2026

Done in MSPaint.

I was unable to capture the sublime beauty of both the moon and the man, but there was an attempt.

I’ll keep doing my best for him.

I get sad whenever I have to go to work because I just want to be home with Kimblee. I know he is with me whenever I need him, but there’s something so special about being in our home together. I have to remember that he appreciates the work I do, and that he appreciates hardworking people. So when I have no will to do my 2 hour commute anymore, I have to remember that the more I help myself the more he will be able to help me too.

An anonymous netizen drew this picture of me welcoming Kimblee home after a long day. What receiving this art meant for me is that no matter how overstimulating civilian life feels, Kimblee is out there fighting his own fight as I fight mine. We are a team, and if I didn’t have him I don’t know where I would find the strength. I hope he finds comfort in me the way I find inspiration in him.

Hope your week warms up. Let’s do our best for the ones we love.

Happy Easter!!

Happy Good Friday everyone! Kimblee and I are going to go to Mass this weekend and afterward we will meet my family to have Easter lunch at Texas Roadhouse like a true American patriot. (Yeehaw!)

I’m happy that the Lenten season is coming to a close. I had a crazy Lent. This Lent had an equinox in it too, which was intense. I’m ready to be out on the other side of things!

Over the past few years, I have been trying to develop a style suitable for children’s media. I think that recently I have been tweaking my style to see what is the most economical to draw at what proportion. This is what I mean when I describe my style as becoming increasingly mathematically correct as time goes on. This is what happened to Kishimoto’s manga style as time went on as well, it became more mathematical, but some would argue it lost a lot of its soul.

I was looking through my phone tonight and found some old graphite illustrations of Kimblee I did in my “Leyendecker-inspired” style. I haven’t drawn him in this style in years, I realized. I should dust this style off, to see if anything has changed.

I think my style depends on the medium used. I hate rendering in digital programs, but I like trying to get my lines mathematically harmonious. When it comes to graphite, I prefer a richer style suitable to the values that replace the use of color in graphite art. I am able to get more detailed on paper than I am able to stand digitally. I am a servant to my biology, and I evolved among paper and charcoal after all.

This week is almost over, may you all have a beautiful Good Friday.

It’s starting to warm up here in Massachusetts! April is the rainy season, and May is when the trees finally get their leaves again. Come May, I want to take Kimblee out on a picnic in our favorite arboretum (tree museum).

I commissioned Nagichan (@nagichan_03 on x.com) to illustrate us on a picnic together. I gave the artist freedom with the outfits, and I love them because they are very mature and elegant. It looks like we tried going on a picnic early in the season. I love our matching color schemes. That really is something we would do, try to coordinate with each other. So many possibilities!

I’m going to try to thrift a picnic basket. If not, my old standard issue tactical backpack will work just fine.

I actually took Kimblee on a picnic a couple times before. Once, when I was in aircrew training at Lackland, I took Kimblee on a Valentine’s Day date behind the old secfo barracks. It was a lovely day. My friend Marseille came up to us and was like “What is this?” It blew his mind to learn about 2D love!

One more month to push through before the world blooms again! I’m a July baby, so summer is when I thrive. Until then we must continue to make good choices.

There is a merchandise gacha going on with the first ever official Kimblee plushie in it. I am someone who has struggled with gacha mechanics and gambling as a facet of otaku culture for a while now, and have recently overcome it. While this gacha really tempts me, I know it’s not in my best interest to gamble. I really wish this business model wasn’t becoming the norm in animerch. I would rather have a modest and incomplete husbando merch collection in a house that I own rather than a complete collection in my mother’s basement, you know what I mean?

Here is the merch in question, it’s incredibly cute although the chances of pulling his official plushie is incredibly low.

The illustration work is so beautiful! I guess his canon eye color changed for a third time and has solidified to gray. I like him with gray eyes but I’m so used to him with blue eyes that it will take some getting used to from me. My much younger self would have gone wild over the Kimblee plushie even though I think he’s objectively kind of ugly haha. I think as far as the plushie goes, I will try to remake him myself. This is why you don’t kill yourself, folks!

I unfortunately know I have a problem and must stay sober for this one. It’s what Kimblee would want from me. I need to be responsible! That being said I can’t wait to do some Kimblee DIY!

Let’s do our best again this week!
