I'm very tired as of writing this and I don't honestly have a lot to say but I'm making a post anyway because I TOLD MYSELF I WOULD USE THIS MORE IN 2020
I took the Scout to the vet today because she's old and wobbly and they took some blood to test but I mean, she seems okay now. Apparently, she has a minor heart murmur, but the vet was like "honestly you'd be hard pushed to find a terrier her age that doesn't have one" so I guess she's okay, basically, for all her ancient bones.
EDIT: just realised I wrote "THE SCOUT". She is a dog. Her name is Scout. I'm leaving it in because the mental image of putting the TF2 Scout into a cat carrier is the fucking funniest shit in the world
I'm also trying Mort on this back-of-the-scruff applicator Valerian remedy for his crazy old man anxiety, but I put some on yesterday (it's meant to last a week) and he hasn't really shown any changes. Upon looking it up I hear they're sometimes more effective when taken orally but considering his hatred of taking pills I reckon that'd do more harm than good lmao. Anyway, he's fine, just trying to improve his quality of life somewhat.
Did some streaming yesterday and hosted Adam, who is an electronic musician and long-time bestie of mine. We did nothing art or music related and just dicked around getting bullied by my viewers and watching 5 Minute Crafts videos. Absolutely marvellous to see how feral these people become when set loose with a hot glue gun.
Anyway, it was fun and apparently entertaining, so we keep brainstorming other stuff we could do on streams, but it's a little sad knowing we may not have much time since he's potentially moving out of town in late February. As much as I hate being left behind in this shithole, I still feel like this year is gonna be the one where changes start happening, so I'm trying to remind myself of that and stay positive :'^) We'll find ways to do stuff together in future, everything's just... a juggle at the moment, I guess.
Either way, I'll still be streaming, just more solo stuff. Might do a little more later today, we'll see. Working on DEIFY is way easier when I stream it, because knowing people are watching helps me to stay on-task and not get distracted watching YouTube videos or fucking off to play Spyro. Twitch is a pretty good ADD remedy or something???
Speaking of Spyro, I've been sinking a great many hours into the Reignited trilogy lately and writing fic for it and drawing fanart and... everything. Hyperfixation activated. The original trilogy was absolutely my favourite game as a kid and I still have fond memories of playing it in my grandparents' house and marvelling at the idea that finally, finally here was a real existing thing where you got to be a dragon in a fantasy world. The remake really did it more justice than I could have dreamed!Also the dragons are hot.
Mort just sneezed all over my screen and keyboard as of typing this so I'm gonna end it here. Big oof am I right gamers
Edit: also I just remembered to mention I'm trying to work out how to decorate my room behind my streaming area so that there's some interesting stuff in the background. The trouble is, we're trying to move out of this house, so none of it can be shit that needs to be hammered into a wall or anything that will otherwise leave marks or anything like that. I have no shelves, it's just a blank white wall/corner, and I don't have any furniture to put there save for a low TV stand and a beanbag chair that are both already there. If anyone has any suggestions go wild.
