it's January 26 now here in my timezone in the wee hours of past 3 in the morning*, which means it's my birthday now! 🍰🔶

it was tradition for me to make an artwork of my main sona as a gift for my birthday every year, but sadly i cannot do it this year because 1) i forgor and 2) my creative energy is currently focused on my first ever Miscrit design (not in the game though), Apatoshock! 
well, item 2 already is something that gives me joy at this moment** and i can't wait to finish it (as i've just done three of the four evolutions, and i've just finished the third one, Amargavolt, a while ago!) so that's already enough of a self-gift for me :>

i don't really have much expectations for today, but i just want it to be free from sensory overload (especially with sounds). though perhaps ice cream would be nice?

* my sleep schedule's wrecked for weeks now, so uhhh, yeah, i am awake /neu
** not counting the week during the middle when i felt frustration with myself and my slow progress during that time, especially with my physical fatigue that persists until now. but hey, i'm trying my best to be kinder to myself.
