A reminder that I'm over on bluesky and actively posting on there! (I'm phasing out Twitter.) It's a way more pleasant place to be, full of creativity and good vibes. Username is Lavendercourage. Come on over!!
Farming Simulator 25 came out on Tuesday, and it's been my obsession since. It's got bugs, and the voice acting is, uh, it's something, but I'm still loving the overall feel. It's nice to have a simulator to be addicted to again!
I think the reason I held back on social media wasn't just to take a break. It was the fear of, "This doesn't look aesthetic enough," or, "What if nobody is interested?" That fear doubled after I stopped streaming. I have to remind myself the joy of self-expression is enough.
I at least hope this resonates with someone and helps them feel valid. It's a tough feeling that I'm not 100% comfortable with yet, but I know if I keep posting as and when I please, I'll eventually get there!
It's been a super slow and chill Saturday here in rainy Norwich.
I've been watching streams and working on this giant crochet piece. I certainly made a choice, picking this as my first major project.
Here's a sneak peek! Any guesses what it is?

ALT Momo, a kitten, is lying on his back in a cardboard box, looking at the camera. He has dark brown ears and tail, and a brown and white face. The rest of him is a mixture of white and brown.

I am amped in a way I haven't felt in years. I feel like talking about so much again and sharing more of myself. I've felt closed off since the pandemic, like a part of me went silent and bland and forgot how to fully have fun. AM I SO BACK!? LET'S GO!?
Webfishing into the void with the most chill af lobby I've been in. A proper friend system is needed badly. Loving the new update, though!
ALT A screenshot from Webfishing. 6 characters, cats and wolves in hats and t-shirts, sit on picnic blankets and fish. They are surrounded by a dark void. There is a chat box in the left corner.
ALT A selfie of Lav facing the camera. Her head, shoulders, and most of her t-shirt are in the shot. Behind her are white bathroom tiles. Her hair is brown and in braids, with strands on either side hanging loose at the front. Lav is wearing makeup, with winged black eyeliner and pink lipstick. The t-shirt she is wearing is black and white, and the text on it reads "My Chemical Romance The Black Parade."
The more I see people having a great time streaming, the more I just wanna grabby hands my channel again, but I gotta finish uni first. Just gotta hang in there a bit longer!! ๐ญ
Spirit City is such a comfy vibe. I loved the Halloween update, but now I'm ready to embrace a slightly colder winter vibe. Autumn does not last long in the UK!
ALT This is a screenshot from Spirit City. A girl with blue and pink hair and a purple and white hoodie sits at a desk. She is playing a video game on a black PC. A grey, white, and blue dog spirit sleeps to the left on the desk. The walls are covered in white shelves with gaming merch, photo frames, plushies, and knick-knacks.
Me: No more figures. I need to save money and get another cabinet first.
Clamp: Yeah, but what if
ALT A figurine of Chi from Chobits sitting on top of a telegraph pole. She has long, flowing blonde hair, is barefoot, and is wearing a white dress with pink ribbons. The image shows a close-up of Chi on the left, and two zoomed-out images on the right show the full figure from the front and back.
