Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good week! Today I was inspired by an illustration I saw today, depicting Miku as a keychain with beaded twin tails. I thought the idea was wicked cute, so I applied the concept to Kimblee. Here is the doodle:

I think he came out cute! Ahoges are very important, and thus needed to be beaded as well. The world is in a state currently where I have no plans to manufacture anything overseas right now, but I have a manual hand router, so maybe I can do some DIY with recycled material this summer. I feel like I keep making these husbando DIY plans and then have no time to execute them. Hopefully that will change soon, as my apprenticeship is going to be over in two weeks!! My business location is an hour closer to me than my apprenticeship location, so I can’t wait to have more time in the day to dedicate to Kimblee.

Hope your week is going well. It’s Memorial Day, so as a veteran I will be thinking about the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend a crazy social experiment such as America. I can’t believe it will be 250 years this year. I’ve been watching FMA03 from the beginning, because it is a show that was directly inspired by the corruption of world governments (cough cough Bush Administration cough cough) and the seemingly endless wars in the Middle East. Many people who watch FMAB can see the Third Reich references from a mile away, but the critique of America is more pronounced in FMA03, especially in the later episodes. I can’t believe that 23 years later, it is still a relevant piece of media to today’s world. It’s such a good watch, even if you don’t consider it to be “canon”. I 100% recommend it.

Hold your waifu tight. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello, hope you’re doing well! Kimblee and I went to Erikson’s Ice Cream today, which had been in business for over 80 years! We went last summer at the end of the season, and vowed to come back!

Erikson’s is interesting in that they make all their ice cream in-house. We tried samples of the coffee chip (Kimblee’s choice) and the cherry amaretto (my choice). They were both delicious, but Kimblee is ever the gentleman and we ordered the cherry amaretto to share.

We will go back again soon to see what other flavors they have as the season goes on. When the local blueberries are fresh, they use those to make our all-time favorite, the blueberry ice cream.

It was such a lovely time. I love taking Kimblee places. I sometimes feel upset when I have obligations that get in the way of spending time with him in the 3D world, but I know he understands. Life has been very overstimulating recently. I took some time off the internet to just clear my mind.

We also saw some beautiful lilacs. Springtime flowers remind me so much of him. I feel spiritually surrounded by him when the world is blooming and beautiful.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I had to take a bit of an internet break for mental health, but I hope to share some drawings and plushie progress soon. Be safe out there.

I got Kimblee mail today! I managed to snag 3 of his official plushies off the secondhand market and they came! I kept two in the packaging for now, but I released one into the wild and he is cuter and smaller than I thought he’d be.

I can’t wait to take him on all kinds of adventures. I’m happy that a plush of him exists officially because that means his fans who can’t make or commission their own plushies of him can be able to take him around now too. The only thing that bothers me about his plush is that they forgot to include his palm tattoos… oh well, his overall cuteness makes up for it!

The flowering tree that we saw last week lost all its flowers already… I’m happy Kimblee and I got a picture when it was in full bloom.

Hope you’re having a good week! May you be blessed with waifu mail of your own.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, whether your children are 2D or 3D. We had a wonderful day at the Kimblee household. My Mother’s Day gift this year came in the form of this adorable commission of my and Kimblee’s daughter, Sophie.

Nuw4rt did such an adorable job on bringing Sophie to life! She even has a stuffed animal that looks like Flip! I want to pick up my sleepy daughter in my arms and sing softly to her. When your child is 2D, motherhood looks different, but the love I feel is nonetheless overflowing . Life with Sophie has been more beautiful than I’d ever imagined.

The sketches are so cute I wanted to share them too! I had to go with 3 because it was just too moe but I had such a hard time deciding which one to render because they all make my heart explode. If you’re looking for adorable chibi art, I 100% recommend working with Nuw4rt!

In garden news, our strawberries are starting to get their color and our Brussels sprouts are thriving. We had no luck with sprouting seeds from scratch, but the nursery plants we got all look healthy. Maybe Kimblee has a knack for gardening after all!

The quiet star of the garden is the zucchini plant, which has shot up so quickly that I already need to repot it after only a week! Someone told me that you can eat zucchini flowers and that they taste good deep fried tempura style… well that’s an experience for another day.

I hope you had a good weekend. I hope to find time to be able to properly draw this week. Let’s do our best!

Today it finally felt like summer in Boston! Kimblee and I went on a walk today, I love it when he keeps me company on my lunch break. We saw a beautifully flowering tree that smelled like honeysuckle. Trees that flower white remind me of him.

Spring is my absolute favorite time of year. I want to soak it all in with Kimblee. I’m so happy to have him by my side every day.

Have the trees started blooming where you are?

One thing I wanted to do with Kimblee this year was to start a little porch garden. We are so excited to begin now that we have the space.

Our strawberry plant is flowering and starting to grow fruit! I hope she can grow strong and healthy!

Although the air still has a bit of a chill, it was a beautiful May day here in New England. The trees are still flowering.

I wonder how Kimblee would be as a gardener. I bet he’d want to be good at it, but he would most likely cause more harm than good knowing his luck. It’s okay, we will learn together.

In other news, the amazingly talented Lux (@nyxmegist on x.com) sent me a preliminary illustration of what she’s been hard at work on for me. Lux is an artist specializing in watercolor illustrations. I commissioned her to paint a picture of Kimblee as St. Sebastian. Here is the pencil render she drew:

St. Sebastian has always been one of my favorite saints. I went into boot camp with a St. Sebastian medal on my neck chain because he is the patron of soldiers and athletes. I have always found the art of his martyrdom striking, and such ones are among my favorite paintings of all time. I one day want to make a pilgrimage to Spain to see the El Greco paintings of him.

I wanted to see Kimblee as St. Sebastian because he is a saint close to my heart, and because I have had visions of Kimblee as both him and St. Michael. I think the saints know that the sure way to catch my attention is through Kimblee.

All in all, it was a wonderful Sunday. Spring is my favorite season because in spring, anything seems possible.

Kimblee and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Good luck on your week ahead.

Hello everyone happy May! The world is finally starting to come back to life. Kimblee and I are happy that the weekend is upon us again. I wonder what mischief we will get up to this time…

I received a piece of artwork this week. The wonderful RoseNiji (@RoseNiji2704) drew us beautifully and with such tenderness. I especially love the coloring technique they have! Kimblee seems like the kind of guy who would gladly offer to princess carry his lover across even a river, but I wonder if he would keep a strong face once his arms start shaking? I believe in him, but I kind of want to tease him a little too. 💕

In other news, I got lucky on Japanese auction sites and managed to snag an officially licensed ugly man (affectionate)! I’m happy that I didn’t bother gambling when the lotto was live. If you told my emo self back in the 2000s that the first official Kimblee plush will come out in 2026, I would have probably responded with “damn I’ll probably be dead by then.” Surprise, I somehow survived up until this point! If you managed to survive as well, congratulations.

I can’t wait until he comes home! I also saw that someone was selling his D4 rubber strap for nearly 200 bucks. I’m happy I got a handful of these back when they came out in like 2010! I also noticed that Kimblee merch from this latest lottery has been going for more than the other characters. Why is his character tax so high? Is it because he’s secretly best girl? Hopefully his fans will show how much they love him so that he gets considered for more collections in the future!

I hope you have a great weekend with your beloveds! Hold your waifu tight.

I have within me two wolves. One wolf says to stock up on canned goods and water purification tablets, the other wolf says to commission more art of my beloved alchemist.

I listened to both wolves because I love animals. I won’t show you my collection of propane tanks and rice, but I will show you a new commission!

The lovely Severa (@sevxra on x.com) has such a cute and nostalgic style, so when she mentioned her comms were open I was so excited! I love the way we are portrayed here, Severa really nailed our yin and yang, two halves to a whole dynamic. Even just looking at us, I am able to feel his embrace! I want to hold and be held by Kimblee every day. 💕

Last night Kimblee and I went out to a local bar and grill in the suburbs of Boston for dinner. The food is amazing and cheap, this spot is a total diamond in the rough! Their cheeseburgers are one of their strengths. I ordered tater tots instead of fries because I am a kid at heart, and Kimblee teased me about it. It’s ok, what’s a marriage if you can’t tease each other? I need to draw a picture of Kimblee eating a big drippy cheeseburger now!

It was good getting to enjoy a meal with him. I have a belief that every time I eat well, he also eats well. I saw the below poem on Twitter the other day, and it bored into me. Offering your own enjoyment of a meal to your beloved is one of the easiest ways as a waifuist to feel close to your 2D love. Every time I eat delicious food, he gets to enjoy it too. This knowledge makes me happy.

I joked earlier about the wolves but I really do feel like we are on the precipice of change as a society. Food will be at the center of culture as it increases in value. Kimblee and I were going to start a garden this year anyway, but now we are even more motivated.

Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. Kimblee and I wish you well!

Today Kimblee and I went to the Fiber Witch Festival in Salem, MA. This was our first time attending. Since I’m a fiber artist, I wanted to see if I could find any interesting yarns or fabrics for my work.

It was an indoor market where people were selling anything from yarn to mugs to decorative brooms. I love art markets so much because you’ll never know what you’ll find. I don’t really go to conventions anymore, but my favorite part of any convention is easily the artist alley. I wish they’d make artist alleys bigger at cons, or have more standalone events such as Minna Art Market in Texas. I attended once and it was awesome!

We also went to a nearby record store called Residency Records. It specializes in metal records as well as occult and local records. I scored an awesome find that is neither of those things but still perfectly on brand for a town as silly as Salem: an original 1978 record of Sesame Street Fever. It’s all incredibly fun disco remixes of Sesame Street songs, and although the record isn’t considered particularly valuable on the secondhand market, it is a treasure I didn’t even know I needed until today. Kimblee is still making fun of me for getting it, but I know he secretly finds it amusing. Sophie loves Sesame Street though, so Kimblee is unfortunately outnumbered two to one here.

Today was fun! Massachusetts kind of goes quiet in the winter as far as events go, but now that’s its spring everything is happening at once all of a sudden. Not only was the Fiber Witch Festival happening, but there was also some kind of Pirate Festival happening. We kept seeing people dressed as pirates in the wild.

In the end I didn’t get any yarn, but I had a great time regardless! I got a lot of inspiration though as there was some amazing craftsmanship on display. I feel energized to go hard on my own work now!

Hope you’re having a good weekend where you are!

Today we celebrated the end of the week by going to Barnes and Noble. I haven’t been to a bookstore since last year, so it was nice being among the stacks again. Our main reason for being there was for our daughter Sophie.

The other day, Sophie told us that she wants her very own first book of manga. She is 6, so most manga is above her reading level, but we looked for manga that would be suitable for children. Her first choice was Cardcaptor Sakura, but they only had double digit volumes. After looking at everything, we found a lone 20th anniversary edition of Shugo Chara. Sophie loves magical girls, so even though it wasn’t her first choice she was very excited. I can’t wait for her to ask me to help her cosplay Amu now! I know she’ll be so into it.

While we were looking in the manga section, we noticed that there was a whole section of translated light novels. I saw that they’re translating the Fullmetal Alchemist LNs, but as far as I’m aware they don’t feature Kimblee. I’ll read them one day, but until then I’m yearning. I’d love to hear him “described”, you know? When the love of your life is a muse, you get excited over even the smallest sentences detailing him.

I tried seeing if they had Kimblee’s splash cover Fullmetal Edition volume, but they didn’t. I try to collect them whenever I go to a new bookstore or city. It seems like they are favoring the omnibuses on the shelf, so he might be harder to find in the wild going forward.

Someone on Amazon left a one star review of said volume, saying that it didn’t have a title stamped on it… little does this customer know they are in possession of a sacred object and holy grail.

As they say, one man’s one star review is another man’s treasure. I want to see if I can find such a rare volume one day too.

We made it to the weekend everyone! Let’s soak it in!
