Wow it's definitely been a while. Let's see where to start...my four year old started preschool! I have to say dropping him off and leaving him somewhere for 3.5 hours is actually pretty difficult. He's my one and only and basically haven't really been apart from him ever so the first day was rough. It's getting easier, but definitely harder for me than for him. It's just weird having my house so oddly quiet!
In other news I got a HiDive account to access of course more anime. A friend came to visit and got me addicted to Oshi no Ko and HiDive is the only place you can watch it. I went into the show having no idea what it was about and I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a murder mystery and not a cute show about idols XD. I'm very much addicted to it and looking forward to the next season. I have seen a bit of the manga and there are a few things that worry me going forward in the plot that I hope don't happen, but I'm not going to ruin anything for you! Another one on there that I've really enjoyed called The Eminence in Shadow. It has a bit of fan service so if that's not your thing it might not be for you, but the humor of the show actually had me laughing out loud a few times. The plot was genuinely amusing to me and I had a good time watching it. I'm looking forward to season 2 of that one as well which from what I've see should be coming out soon. Something I'm really looking forward to next month is The Apothecary Diaries!!! I adore the manga soooo much. If you haven't read it, it's about a girl named Maomao who lived with her adoptive father and studied being an apothecary under his tutelage. She also has an extreme obsession with poisons. While out gathering herbs she gets abducted by people who sell "relatives" to the palace as servants and then collect a percentage of their pay. She ends up working in the palace and gaining the attention of various people becomes a food tester for poison. While there she solves various mysteries that arise. The anime of this manga is coming to crunchyroll sometime in October! I can't wait to watch it! I love manga, but it's always fun to see it adapted to the characters "living" on screen.
Art wise I think I burned myself out a bit during artfight in July. I'm hoping to get back to things in October if I can find a good challenge sheet. Nothing like OCtober or inktober to help get back into the creative realm. I do have a few pieces that I'd like to post here when I get a moment. I feel like I've just had a lot going on. We just spent the last week or so being sick and finally recovered from it. (Yay exposure due to preschool). I hope you're all staying healthy and thanks for reading!!
