burger? DAY 75 [OC, brainmade]

photo taken on a bed. the bed has orange sheets and a thick red patterned blanket on it. there is a blahaj shark plushy on the blanket in the background. there is a cardboard box with the text "baby burger" largely printed on it. on the box, a single "baby burger" is displayed. it has mayonaise, lettuce, tomatoes, a patty and ketchup on it. it is rather small. text overtop says "will you be my baby burger?". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy".

will you? imagine how i’d hold you.

i’ve had this image since march this year and i have somehow not used it in a post yet. now i have.

i present to you: baby burgers. the one displayed is the baby whopper. not very whopping, is it?

anyway, i’m a bit hungry but also not really soooo umm imma go eepy sleepy now. it’s late and i got group therapy tomorrow ~ughhhh~ ~it~ ~sucks~ ~so~ ~bad…~ and i might visit BK afterwards sooooo yea whatever. maybe. maybe not. probably? dunno. can’t tell, am not hungry rn.

just so u know: the burgers are not all that tasty. they are fine, but you should just get regular burgers instead.

i wish you a wonderful day where you, even if just temporarily, turn into someones baby burger ~

nice. DAY 74 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing in purple. the background has multiple bright broad strokes with frequency lines on it and white sparkles on them. the is text overtop the strokes which have the letters H, M, A and O on it. where the text and the strokes interfere, the letters become larger and bolder. bottom left says "by maria on lemmy"

something something. DAY 73 [OC, brainmade]

fake tweet. posted by "something something spicy noodles". text reads "i askedd chat GPT... Oh, well why didn't you ask me, sweetie? You can always message me about whatever you want (yes even the things banned on that website). I'll read and answer them, no matter how long they are or when you send them <3

WARNING!!! this post is FAKE!!! i fabricated it.

yeah yeah i will make an actual post which isn’t just silly cheap stuff like this. i could have made this into a fancier thing but i don’t think it would have helped much. sadly, tweetgen was down so i had to use a really bad other one which uses the old twitter style and doesn’t support pfps. ugh. whatever whatever. at least it’s not a repost, amiright? hahaaaa-----

this one may come across a bit more theatrical than usual. i didn’t want it to, but that’s how the text turned out. hmm…

alt image (catbox, high quality)

yea i will make an actual post today, you will get that, don’t worry. i have the idea already but got stuffs to to outside of posts rn… at least a bit.

i wish you a wonderful day in which someone listens to your concerns <3

EDIT: added the warning

i'm so happy for him. DAY 71 [OC, edited*]

top of image shows the "fire escape" sign which usually features a figure running towards an exit foor with an arrow pointing to the door. it's used to show where one should run when there is an emergency. but here, the person is missing, it's just the arrow and the door. bottom of image shows the person running on a path with trees around it and a wonderful sunrise on a cool day. text says "he did it. he escaped". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"

no more fires to flee from. he is free. finally.

* edited note

he went into the light and escaped the horribly boring business buildings he was trapped in. no more buildings, only freedom now.

finally. the running is over. he can rest now. no more stress, no more fleeing, no more crying. his job is over and his life begins.

i wish you a wonderful day where you escape out of the constrains of your older self.

really pretty. DAY 70 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on purple background. a white figure is sitting on a couch and a lilac figure is sitting ontop of them, straddling them on the couch. Lilac holds Whites face and waist and they are looking each other in the eyes. Lilac says "you are really pretty, you know?" which makes White get a bit embarassed and resond "noo i'm not". next, Lilac holds Whites face with both hands so White cannot look away and says "ssssssh, no more words out of your soft little mouth", which makes White go red. So far, White has had their hands on Lilacs thights, but now Lilac is holding their hands. Lilac says "I get tocall you pretty all I want and you wont object. understood?" which has White make a small nod. finally, Lilac lifts Whites hands and presses them into the couch. White is not essentially immobile and cannot move their legs and hands anymore. Lilac ends with "good. very good" while White is visibly very excited and shivery about the situation. bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

it’s been some time since the last purplepost, so here we are again. this one *might be the most intense one to date.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

you might notice that Whites arm clips into the sofa. i really really tried not to let that happen, but the other option would have been to either change the hands color or to have it be even harder to tell what pose White is taking exactly. sooo i think this is a fair tradeoff.

some day i really might wanna transition to a style where each arm gets a slightly different shade so one can tell them apart, even when they are right in front of one another.

i hope you enjoy this one.

i wish you a wonderful day where someone compliments your work.

i want. DAY 69 [OC, brainmade]

digitally made voting poster for "Robert Habeck", who is a german politician. text on it says "i want ROBERT HABECK as our chancellor. why him?" then there is a list of reasons to have him be chancellor. first is "he's an absolute cutiepie" with a heart. next to that sentence he responds shily "no i'm not" which gets responded with "oh yes you are!". the following points are "looks reallly polite and honest. is really polite and honest. gets shy on interviews, likes heat pumps, is not Friedrich Merz (our current chancellor who is generally very hated), seems smart, feels pretty human". at the end the list becomes harder to read. one can barely make out the last entries "is a really sweet boy" and "looks really good". there is an image oh him holding a sign very passionately which says "I will be good, I promise". bottom left says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

he’s suuuuch a cutie - just - god. he’s so good and nice and never actively lies. worse case is he lies because he literally forgot. such a honest lil man.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

i’m FINALLY COUGHT UP with all the posts!!! doesn’t mean i’m done making them, but i’m finally back to being on track. so when tomorrows post will be number 70, it’ll actually be the 70th day of me making daily posts. that is good.

oh yea, this is totally not a political statement, i’d just really like this guy cuz he always seemed so honest. he’d slip on stuff sometimes but… how could you get mad at this shy llittle wittle guy??? impossible.

i wish you a wonderful day in which things turn to the better for you <3

so soft and wonderful. DAY 67.1 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing. warm yellow and orange background with lots of bubbles in them. there is sunshine coming in from above and the bubbles are being lit up by them. the whole visual gives a warm and comfortable feeling, like nothing could go wrong. text overtop says "so warm. so nice and safe. i could never leave". bottom text says "by maria on lemmy".

so nice and comfy and eye-wateringly safe. we are home, finally landing.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

got nothing to add really. the feeling of being truly safe must be quite something.

yes this is an edited version of the same post, but purple. i hope this one goes over easier with y’all.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you are appreciated for who you are and not who you pretend to be.

heavy. soft. DAY 65 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on purple background. lilac figure sits on couch holding a puffy carrying case and a nintendo switch 2 handheld. they put the handheld in the pouch and notice how heavy the pouch beomese because of it. afterwards they touch the pouch, noticing how very soft it is. finally, they end up cradling the carrying case with the system inside and saying "awwww" with hearts and sparkles arund them. bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

the puff pouch makes a return! it’s back and taking the exact same role, kinda. the puff pouch had its first debut here a year ago.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

so yea. the handheld is rather heavy. and that makes the carrying case heavy. and it’s rather large. and soft. and nice to feel. sooo i hold it like that and talk to it a bit too frequently sometimes----- anyway

very strong purple background today.

aaaaa gotta catch up with posts aaaaa i’m soooo behind. i gotta make ONE MORE POST today!!! and i should have the time to do it! i really should.

i wish you a wonderful day and that you do something that makes you feel nice.

mobile wallpaper version. DAY 63 [OC, edited*]

digital drawing on orange background. text says "these cheese triangles are pretty good". there are four nacho cheese triangles drawn. they look crispy and some of them show the liquid cheese inside leaking out. there are various sanrio characters visible on the cheese triangles, specifically Hello Kitty, Keroppi and Cinnamoroll. bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

someone talked about a mobile wallpaper version of the post with hello kitty. so here that is. a version without hello kitty and versions with higher quality can be found below.

* edited info:

  • this is an edited version of this post i made yesterday. the source image is my work
  • i am in no way affiliated with the hello kitty franchise. these character designs are not my work and are stolen from Sanrio

i chose the generic android phone size which Pixels and samsung phones use today cuz i thought that might represent the largest amount of peeps here.

high quality version

high quality without hello kitty

some of y’all might notice a problem when trying out these wallpapers: they look smudgy or low quality despite you downloading the high quality version. that is because you phone assumes the image is not pixel art so it tries to smooth it out, making it… yeah, less crunchy. to combat this, here are upscaled variants which preserve the crunchiness of the pixels:

high quality 4 x scaled

high quality without hello kitty 4 x scaled

this should resolve the bluriness you may find with the original resolution images.

yes i’m sorry this isn’t a fully original post. i will make… something. i’m a bit burned out with all of this stuff…
it’s a surprising amount of work. even purpleposts take their time and this one took waaaayyyy longer than i wanted it to. well over 3 hours of being distracted, trying to get the characters just right… it took a while. and now i still gotta make one more post to finally be cought up again.

imma do it… maybe not today, but tomorrow perhaps? hopefully…

i wish you a wonderful day in which something fun happens.

am hungry. DAY 61 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on orange background. there are some cripsy looking triangles on screen. they look like they have crunchy cornflakes bits on them and look fun to eat. some of them are opened up partially, revealing a liquid cheese sauce glistening in the light. text overtop says "these cheese triangles are pretty good". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy" in very faint text.
preview

wowie yes these chee triangles ARE really good. like - wowie zowie yup aha, yup yes they are, mhm yes oh yes they really absolutely are pretty good.

sorry, catbox is down, no alt image link today :(
especially unfortunate with a post like this where color change is meant to be perceived and not… crushed down to jpeg artifacts.

yea, now i know what kind of post to make when i don’t know what to make. cuz this one was really easy and fast to make and also i had fun doing it. horray.

this post is a reference to this older one about putting some pickers chee triangles into the freezer. the body content includes a photo of the actual packaging in my freezer.

i feel sick. my throat is hurting, i was shivering in bed earlier cuz so cooooold. my hands are still cold as i’m typing these words.

i wish you a wonderful day with unreasonably tasty snacks ~

waiting even longer. DAY 60 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing of a white figure sitting in a field of grass on a stone, looking toward the sunset. they are sighing. the lighting is warm but one can tell the the scene isn't all that warm temperature-wise. text overtop says "i now know what i want. and now i have to wait even longer to get it?". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

it’s already been so long. the wait has helped me but i don’t know if i canwait much longer.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

a person can only go for this long. no matter the amount of spicy noodles, blanket-huggies or splatoon wins, one can really only go for so long before things start breaking.

i wish you a wonderful day where you don’t have to wait long.

finger food. DAY 59 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on purple atmospheric background. title says "Difficulty: Can be changed later". below are six options with colors ranging from baby-blue to strong pink. the difficulty options are: "Baby formula: awawawa", "soft puree: open wide!", "chunky puree: this is nice", "finger food: mmmh tasty", "challenging: (chews a lot on a stake)" and finally "spicy noodles: where's milk?". currently the "finger food" option is highlighted with a stylish triangle, showcasing a banana. below it says "Continue with Finger Food?" with the two button options "No" and "Abolsutely". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

mmmh tasty.

alt image

the post is inspired by some baby food charts. certain charts called regular food “challenging” which i thought sounded like a difficulty mode.

i’m somewhat proud of how this looks. been playing some splatoon raiders which has really good UI. it’s fast to understand and use. wonderful.

it also has these “spicy” and “extra spicy” versions of levels where the enemies are literally displayed as having more salt on them. very funny. would have liked to see some other spices as well but oh well that’s hoping for too much i guess.

which one would you pick?

i wish you a wonderful day in which you get to pick the difficulty.

potato soup. DAY 58 [OC, edited*]

photo of some potato soup in a pot. there are sausage and bread pieces in it as well as seasoning. it looks really tasty and warm. text written overtop with a soft handwritten style says "i wanna make potato soup for someone and then eat it together and watch them eat it and ask how it tastes and take their feedback because i know they are being honest and then i tell them to go to the couch while i put away the dishes and then i come get them on the cough and huggle wuddle cuddle them from behind and pet their tummy and kiss their neck and point out how nice they smell and hold them even closer. i wanna sway lightly from side to side and ask them how they feel right now and how their day was". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy" in potato yellow color
preview

yes the sausage bits are vegan, don’t worry and no there is no cream or whatever in this. it’s all good ~ everyone can have this soup… okay besides if you are allergic to gluten. if so, i’m very sorry, we will also make another main dish so you don’t feel weird about it. everyone is served.

so i was on some matrix chat and yapped and then wrote something cuz goooosh i got such… energy in me and i just don’t know where to safely put it so i wrote the bit and i really gotta put more posts to catch up again (still gotta make one more) so now this is what you get. i postified version of a message i sent on matrix. i’m sorry for the stark quality decline buuuuut… maybe you’ll still enjoy this.

potato soup is really tasty, it’s reasonably healthy, it makes me go “aaaah yees i like this”, it’s a true feel-good-food and it makes you full!
and when you are full, it’s not the tummy ache type, but the wonderful nice warm “aaaaah this is nice” type of full. the one where petting ones tummy feels comforting <3

yea i … i really don’t know where to put this energy. i got A LOT of it, like - ooh gosh so much of it like oh no like way too much of it i can barely sleep but where to put --------- oh well. whenever i yap about ML stuff here peeps get mad so i shouldn’t.
yes you get to have first-class access into my chain-of-thought right now.
well what stuff is on my mind? it’s… hmm.

  • mama energy, oh so much of that yea
  • oh gosh hrt
  • ~someone~ ~but~ ~that~ ~doesn’t~ ~matter~
  • spicy noodles
  • plant-based chili cheese tortillas from BK
  • gosh i wanna get those burgers yasssss
  • recent ML efficiency gains and sparse attention splatting paradigms
  • the fact that i should probably continue playing splatoon raiders
  • some really funky songs from rhythm heaven groove. see here and here
  • idunno, voting stuff in Sachsen-Anhalt
  • Robert Habeck <3

and like - i mean - these are almost sorted by intensity so like - idunno. i’m like… so warm. probably from the potato soup. no wait i didn’t actually have any today, at least not real potato soup like one can see in the post. yea no i wanna make posts but sometimes i’m like “gosh that almost doesn’t feel like it’s enough” aaaaaand then i write stories and scenarios and never actually post them anywhere.

so here i am, posting a scenario. horray. this better finally break my 100+ likes streak so i can post other stuff again.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you feel warm. not in the uncomfortable way but in the “aah this is nice” way.

can i? DAY 57 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing with dark purple background and comfortable atmosphere. a lilac figure and a white figure are sitting together on the floor, leaning against a wall. White has their legs pulled close and Lilac is holding Whites legs from behind, creating a sort of hug. Lilac mentions "I wanna eat you up like I eat chili cheese burgers". That makes White think for a bit, repeating bits of what Lilac said "...like...chili...cheese". After a few seconds, White remembers what that looks, gets really blushy and embarassed and utters "oh! oh god...". finally, Lilac asks in a soft speech bubble "can i?". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

like a chili cheese burger.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

!

so i was at BK, eating an unreasonably expensive plant-based chili chee tortilla 🌶️🧀. it was good, maybe a bit too good. i started eating it… differently, until i noticed what i was doing. almost like in these TV commercials where they kinda kiss-eat a whopper or something.

it was tasty. and no, unfortunately the 1% cheese in the chili cheese sauce was unfortunately not vegan i have to inform you. sorry.

i wish you a wonderful day where you eat something delicious.

so proud of rule. DAY 56 [OC, brainmade]

screenshot of an android phone with the notifications pane open. there are settings at the top for WLAN, flash light, mute mode and bluetooth. there are no notifications visible in the list. instead there is a trophy icon and some text that says "All notifications cleared. You are all up to date. Good job. No, really. Keeping track of eveerything to do can be tough. But you are handling it really well. I'm proud of you. Oh yes I am, I am very proud of you for always clearing the notifications like a good little user". the text starts changing from the system font to handwriting with hearts and such. it continues "You are my good little user, aren't you? Aha, yea, I think so too (swirly line). Meet me inthe developer settings at 4 PM, okay?". top of the image says "by maria on lemmy" right next to the clock and date.
preview

good job <3

alt image (catbox, high quality)

i wanted to make some kind of praise post for a while but always felt it would feel undeserved and thus not real. so this is how i’m doing it instead.

this idea came from android now giving you this trophy icon when you clear your notifications (on my pixel 6 with graphene at least).
so i thought

oh, why not go further with this

and now here we are. i considered replacing the trophy with a heart buuuut that would have been too much change, i did want this to look somewhat real.

here is the source screenshot btw

dunno how this will land. let’s see. so far, image edits generally do worse for comment-count than fully original posts sooooooooooo we’ll see.

i wish you a wonderful day in which your efforts are noticed by others.

too much rule? DAY 55 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on dark purple background. a lilac figure and a white figure are sitting on a couch. Lilacs hand touches Whites. Lilac says "hey, can i kiss you?" to which White responds "umm... i mean... sure". Lilac is now holding Whites head and is wrapping the other arm around Whites waist and kisses them. next Lilac asks "can i do it again?" to which White responds with a small nod. Lilac kisses White again, this time holding their face while they do it. again, Lilac backs off, asks "another?" and White, a bit exhausted, says "...can i just tell you when it's too much?" to which Lilac finally responds "oh, of course".
preview

oh of course, everything for my White.

sorry, no alt image today, catbox is down.

not sure how this will land with y’all, might be too much. but eeeeeeh- this is 196 where peeps post making out images and yap about kinds so this is fiiiine. nothing to worry about, this is absolutely safe for work, your boss wouldn’t bat an eye if they saw this on your monitor.

yea i had a sudden urge to make this and now its here. that second-to-last line was difficult. i wanted White to not be too demanding while also not implying like they would ever want it to stop. i think it “being too much” is a reasonable clause to use.

i’m still one post behind. i’m mostly eating buldak noodles with brother and… yea not sure what to make really. i look in my pictures folder for inspiration,But all i see is potatos, dario amodei, nappies, Friedrich Merz and burger king. not very helpful.

i wanna make some post about sky cotl again like i did some time ago even if it won’t garner as many comments as these types of posts would. oh well, sacrifices have to be made for… me. yes, i am sacrificing your enjoyment over my own interests, this really does sound cruel doesn’t it? i don’t wanna be cruel, i wanna be good and nice. and polite. wow what a callback.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you have some fun.

thinking is fun but oh gosh can it get repetitive. the mind has no repetition_penalty built in, in fact: it usually rewards thinking similar things over and over again.

this is generic enough that i can just post it here right? yea this is fine. i am my own filer and that filter says “whatever, doesn’t matter, i got no secrets anyway, who cares. i don’t”. so i’m posting it.

next one is gonna be more fun, trust me. yeye this one is more or less “oh no i only got that much time before i need to sleep so this is what im gonna make” kinda thing. yes.

oh well, imma wait for “good time” now, whatever whatever.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you feel in control of yourself.

felt like making a “this or that” type post for a whiiiiile. this dates back about 2 years when i looked at some of em and thought “this is fun!”

i’d love to hear about your picks!

my picks areee ummm… this is difficult. lemme think.
okay, my picks are: B-A-A-A-A …
yea, apparently i drew put all my favorites first. whoops. in question 2 i would love B but that doesn’t work with position B. oh well.

can't rue? DAY 51 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing with text "can't sleep? try this: ingredients: you and 2 blankets". there is a white figure on a blanket laying near the edge of it. there is another bunched up blanket infront of them. next, the blanket below them is spun around the white figure, so that it is now below and above them. finally, the blanket is tucked in from behind by fulling in the ends. text says "done!". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy" where "maria" has the olor of the blanket. the second bunched up blanket is now within the white figures reach, tucked in within the covers. they can hug it or ignore it and just have it be there as a somewhat of a pillow.

i did this and slept in like 30 minutes. usually takes 3 hours. wowie, what a lifehack.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

![](<files.catbox.moe/bo21y2.png)

having something to hug onto or to just have besides you is surprisingly nice. when you pull back, blanket 1 moves your direction. when you lean in, you feel that movement from behind.

something something deep pressure maybe. it’s not that deep. i have weighted blankies but they are too exhausting to deal with and… they are okay but i usually remove them at somepoint.

but this!!! this is it, maybe. who knows.

i wish you a wonderful day and sweet dreams (for later… or now)

have been so ruling. DAY 50 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing. there is a white bunny in the center with arrows pointing to it, saying "very polite", "really kind" and "asks for permission before sneezing". the bunny does indeed look kind and well behaved. text overtop says "i have been so polite and patient. when do i get my reward?". bottom right text says "by maria on lemmy"

so very patient. would wait longer if told to. but how long would it wait? at which point does the reward seem unreachable?

alt image (catbox, high quality)

the more i post here, the more i can’t show this profile to friends anymore. it’s like reeeeeally direct with some stuff. not this post tho, this one is as tame as the bunny in the image. first time drawing a bunny… maybe ever.

i guess specifically because i only make oc stuff, it’s just a lot more personal. no matter how much i say “this is Lilac saying that, not me!”, i am still the one putting those words in the speech bubbles. oh well.

are you polite? do you apologize when you sneeze? i don’t, because i sneeze so quietly that peeps don’t even notice it most of the time.

i wish you a wonderful day where you don’t have to wait long for your reward.

hey, it's fine rule. DAY 48 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing of a scene in the snow. a lilac figure asks a white figure at a christmas market at night "you said you wanted a crêpe, right?" to which White responds hesitantly "yes, but... not at these prices!". the price chart shows crêpes with the options chocolate, strawberry and kinder chocolate as well as a hot chocolate drink. the crêpe prpices range from 6 to 8 bucks and the drink costs 5. the kinder chocolate crêpe is the most expensive at 8. Lilac puts their hand on Whites wrist and pulls them along, saying "hey, it's fine, i am getting one too. you said you like the kinder chocolate one, yeah?" to which White stutters "yeah, but i'm fine with-" being cut off by Lilac, saying "good, kinder chocolate it is.". finally, Lilac makes the order "two kinder chocolate crêpes please!". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy".

yes, a christmas special outside of winter, how nice. crêpes really are quite something. so very nice when it’s cold outside, so very easy to burn your mouth with.

while making this i thought of stardew valley winter music. very calming. i want winter to be here now. i want my hot chocolate while looking outside where it’s cold.

digital drawing on dark purple background. a lilac figure is asking a white figure "wait for me in bed, okay?" and White responds "okay!". then White looks at the bed with two pillows on it, unsure what to feel. White desides to get in the sheets, pulling the blanket up to heir head. they think "Lilacs bed...". they pull the covers over their face and excitedly sniff it a bit. suddenly Lilac appears in the room, teasingly asking "are you comfortable?". White, still hidden in the covers says "mhm, yes.". in the border of the drawing text says "by maria on lemmy", barely readable.

indeed very comfy.

was about time for some more purpleposts so here we are.

not sure if the “cloud border” looks good. i think the idea is good but maybe not the execution. maybe the first cloud border could have been inverted to show Whites senses being kinda filled. hmm maybe.

the whole “border” bit was kinda an afterthought really so eeeeeh-… i just didn’t like how the blankie was just cut off like that so ye.

i wish you a wonderful and comfortable day.

spicy roodles (not rude). DAY 46 [OC, brainmade]

a collage of multiple photos taken from spicy noodle packs. there are images of a large cardboard box with a chicken on it, breathing fire and holding a bomb. text on the box says "Buldak: Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen" in very bold and aggressive font. it is an iconic style. there are "halal" stickers on the cardboard, the box weighs 5.6 kilograms. below are images of the individual noodle packs inside the box. they are aligned nicely: both black and red packs can be seen with that same "buldak" logo. the chicken on the packs is breathing fire too. there are images of the noodles and "2 times spicy" text on the packs. thy have strong colors. text written digitally over the collatge says "hehehe, hahahah, harharharhar" in increasingly red font. there is smaller text saying in a whispering tone "i now have spicy noodles". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"

i just got so excited that this thing arrived, i neeeeded to make it a post. also i’m at a bit of a loss for ideas which don’t go too far but also feel fun enough to actually post. i am in a maximally agitated and excited mood but have difficulties getting that out into pictures.

also i had to carry this huge heavy box with this chicken and a bomb on it aalllll the way through town, it was weird. reminds me of that one “lookie lookie i’ve got a cookie” post someone made some time ago. like - that box was LARGE… there was one, only one unprinted side. i put that to the front and went with it. gosh. scary. felt like i was carrying something peeps shouldn’t see…

i wish you a wonderful day in which you feel free to show others what you enjoy.

good luck. DAY 45 [OC, inspired*]

digital drawing with two panels. first shows a stick figure holding a leash, saying "go do research. use hyperlinks. test the results locally. play a nice sound if you need help. i am right here and believe in you. go (heart)". next panel the figure is still holding the leash, which is connected to a smaller round robot that has a screen for a face and cat ears with a colon three mouth. in the room, there is a shelf named "resources" with books about powerpoints, cad 3D files, godot scene files, and a book named "skill.md". there is a holder named "tools" with objects hung onto it: glue stick, sledge hammer, pen, magnifying glass, scissors. on the right there is a computer showing a terminal with a sign "sandbox bash". top left text says very faintly "by maria on lemmy". it's barely visible.

wanted to make something like this for a while. so now since i’m on a throughput train, i made it. horray.

now it’s too late, i did it, i posted this and you cannot stop me.
no thoughts, just post. made a related pres on the topic yesterday so i’m in that headspace

i wish you a wonderful day where you are allowed to show nuance.

babyrule. DAY 44 [OC, edited*]

edited version of a product photo for the "babybel" cheese. the text has been cleanly edited to just say "baby". the curvy lines on the original designs and soft colors evoke a feeling of security. there are lightrays against a darker purple background with light particlees floating around. bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"

baby.

* edited note

  • the original product image was taken from here

this kind of “editing a product to be something else” thing is really fun. i like the process of covering up the original and putting new things on there. it’s a relaxing workflow. airbrush go “pff pfffff”

i have to make four posts today. this is the first. i really REALLY gotta get back up to speed. also today an order of 40 buldak spicy noodles arrives, it was on big sale. sub 80 cents per pack wowie that’s okay pricing.

this has the record for lowest resolution post yet. okay there are also posts on other communities with lower resolutions, but it’s the lowest on 196 for certain.

i wish you a wonderful day where you can be just as vulnerable as you would like to.

bath rules. DAY 43 [OC, brainmade]

photo of a paper sheet taped onto a bathroom wall. it has text and drawings on it. the source text is German, but there are translations added. it reads "hi! please close the door after exiting the bathroom". a drawing of an open door with stinky lines coming out of it is crossed out, indicating it's unwanted. next "please also make sure that the toilet seat is free of droplets" and the drawing shows a toilet seat with droplets on it, being crossed out. there is an arrow pointing to the droplets. finally it says "thank you" with a heart below it. angled text on the tape says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

i made this thingy for our bathroom downstairs about two years ago. so that’s what i will post now. the translations are added in post.

not sure what to add to this… last post i was like “what to post?” and peeps went “whatever feels good, there is no set theme for 196” so now this is what i’m posting. because why not. you can’t stop me (unless you very kindly ask me to not post this kind of content. in that case i will consider not doing it)

i wish you a wonderful day where someone does something for you, even if it’s small.

what to rule? DAY 42 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing of a desk. there is one half of a split keyboard, lit up by its keys, there is a drawing tablet with a pen and a trackball mouse ontop of it and there is a game controller next to the keyboard half. text says "what to post?". bottom left says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

more purpleposts? more mamaposts? more stuff where i’m shilling some product and peeps get mad at me? idunno…

real photo of my desk

i’m realizing now that i could have just traced the photo buuuut all those pretentious art people always say “tracing is terrible and you should never do it” and they they go on a rand about image gen, sooooo i won’t do it. proportions are off by quite a bit. eh, oh well.

i want to make more mamaposts. those are fun, that’s the mood i’m in right now. but also i know that those might come across as too direct or so. i mean, look at this one from ancient times… gosh, those were different times and i do kinda want those to come back. i want to be more forward, not just in comments but in posts as well.
and i guess nothing is stopping me, but i’m always thinking “does this fit on 196?” and the answer is “not really”. but like - most of my stuff doesn’t fit on here sooo… i’m my own filter.
purpleposts are great too but there is a limit to how many scenarios i come up with which

  • make sense in a 2 - 6 panel comic
  • feel safe to share with y’all
  • make the reader feel fuzzies
  • don’t go too far while still being exciting

sooooo what to post?

i wish you a wonderful day in which you can express yourself freely ~
