I'm SoftenStar! But you can call me Audrey. :3
Art Fight has been extended to August 3rd! Though unfortunately that doesn't change much for me. |D
If you haven't seen my Twitter posts and or my blog posts on DA, the basic gist of things is that I am super overworked right now. There was an event next to my work last week and it was absolutely terrible. I'm still tired from how busy we were. I'm finally off tomorrow after working 6 days in a row, having one day off, and then working 4 more days.
It's also just been a very busy month for me in general. July is honestly not an ideal month for Art Fight and I wish it was in June. Literally nothing happens in June but everything happens in July. I'm honestly surprised I've gotten 21 attacks done.
The last days I'll for-sure have time to draw on are Sunday and Monday, and possibly Tuesday after work since that's a short-shift. While I have Saturday off, I'm actually going to the lakes that day. B-) Other than those days, I kinda doubt I'll have energy to draw after work the rest of the month. I'm gonna try to get as many attacks done as I can on the remaining days I have. I'm hoping to revenge everyone that's attacked me too, but there are also several non-revenges I still want to draw, idk we'll see what happens. :U
Anyways, after art fight is over I'll be working on bios for my Red Witch story. I have not done a great job finalizing their designs but I can always redesign them in the future, right? XD idk but I am excited to get these bios done!! If you look through my Toyhouse pages a lot (idk if anyone does lol) then you've probably noticed that the folder for this story has been empty until pretty recently despite being on my main page. It's one of my main stories and it's been bothering me that it's been empty for so long.
Only problem right now is that now I have to finish all the main bios for this story before I can make bios for other characters (personal rule I set for myself). Why is that a problem? Well...because my brain keeps making new OCs. No seriously...I've thought of so many random OCs in the past month. So many new character ideas that need to be drawn. I've tried to tell myself to slow down on the OCs but apparently that was reverse psychology because everyday my brain is like "so here's a new character" and I'm like "not again!!!". |D
new characters (according to my notes) include but are not limited to:
-
ghost cat who can't pass on to the afterlife until he learns the secret ingredient to the dish he loved.
-
dog chef who's the only descendant to the chef who made the dish who doesn't know the secret ingredient and is a bit of a troll
-
chaos puff guy (who kinda resembles Sketches??) who is somehow always Lightning's opponent in random competitions. everybody hates him, no exceptions
-
the Three Chaos Girls, three Chaos Puffs that are a bit...chaotic but cool. Inspired by the traveling sister toads from Paper Mario.
-Sad shadow bunny girl who is probably the final boss of the universe
-
soup snail...he brings soup to EVERYONE. No one is safe from soup.
-
guy who sells black hole insurance (aka a scam artist)
-
Celedon space pirates
-
catboy detective club...there's at least three members. They're catboys who solve mysteries.
and more...there is always more. idk I just need to accept that I will always make millions of OCs.
I also really want to design a cake-themed OC...probably a furry. idk I really need a self-indulgent vanilla funfetti cake themed character...maybe as a sona or something (with that logic I should also have a bacon themed OC lol). Heck...I could also go for a pepperoni pizza themed OC too... might as well make one for all of my favorite foods.
Anyways, last thing I wanted to mention is that I could make more adopts if anyone is interested. :3 idk I like messing around with the random color palettes I find on color-hex. Not sure if you guys want furries or random creatures but if you're interested in adopts please let me know!! Otherwise they'll just end up as a design sheet. |D
also if there's any specific themes or color palettes you'd like to see in any adopts please let me know! I usually kinda do whatever and usually pick palettes with pink in them but I'm open to trying new things.
so yeah that's all. I'm gonna try not to die in this heat now. |D please let it be warm when I go to the lakes tomorrow...please let the rain in the forecast not happen...
So I was watching a YouTube video earlier where some friends made little tier lists and top 25 lists for things like Pokemon, anime, video games, etc and then they tried to guess whose list was whose.
...and I kinda want to do that. ;o; idk how people could send their lists anonymously but if we could figure it out it could be fun. Possible ice breaker activity if I finally ever share my Discord server that I made forever ago (I'm the only one in it lol).
We'd use websites like these ones to make the lists: https://topsters.org/ https://tiermaker.com/
idk does anyone else think this could be fun? XD
welp I'm working 6 days in a row this week guys so I'm stressing out. |D also my Animal Crossing: Wild World copy that I ordered one month ago has still not arrived and has no tracking info...What dimension has my wild world copy been sent to
Welcome to Midwestern summer where it's hot and humid. We have a tornado warning both north and south of town and apparently there was hail somewhere too.
Art Fight has been fun so far. I've slowed down a bit on it but I still have lots of attacks I want to do. Unfortunately, this is a busy month for me. |D I've said it before, but I really wish Art Fight took place during a different month. I have way too much going on in July every year (from family birthday, extremely busy work weeks, my yearly trip to the lakes, etc.). June is such a slow month in comparison that I really wish it was a June event.
I'm still gonna try to get lots of art done for it when I can though! I got a few days left where I'll have time to draw. >:3 I know it's early into the month but I also work five days a week so time is limited (plus I have to work six days in a row next week ;_; ). I really don't have energy to draw after work so I really only have time on the days off where nothing is going on...which is not very many. But I'm still gonna try to get a lot of attacks done!
Anyways, I recently played and beat Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess. It was such a cute and silly game from start to finish. I love Nippon Ichi Software's games so being able to play some of their earlier titles has been such a joy. The characters are so silly, especially the witches. I started the third and final Rhapsody game recently too and I'm enjoying it as well.
After I finish Rhapsody III, I'm debating on whether or not to play another RPG or take a break and play something else...maybe an Otome game. idk I love RPGs but a break wouldn't be a bad idea.
I also ordered a copy of Animal Crossing: Wild World recently, so that will be another option...whenever it finally gets here. I ordered it back in June...it was supposedly out for delivery last week, and then it suddenly got delayed to the 15th. |D plz I just want the silly game.
I've never actually played Wild World before. I've played all the others, though I've only played City Folk twice so I guess that doesn't really count plus don't own it. I remember seeing commercials for Wild World back when it was new and really wanting it, but I didn't have a DS at the time. My brother had played the GameCube Animal Crossing at a friends house and we ended up getting that one. I guess by the time I got a DS I felt like I didn't need Wild World anymore since I already had an Animal Crossing game. |D It's also weird for me to think that I didn't have the GameCube Animal Crossing until like 2005...but I was like 8 lol
However, I've recently become nostalgic for the game I wanted but never had, and decided to buy a copy before they cost even more. |D I wish old games were available legally for cheap...I know I could sail the seven seas but I want a physical copy so that maybe I could play the game with someone else eventually. Hopefully my game will arrive one day.
Last bit before I stop writing, but I'm very tempted to buy some Swedish candy online. XD I keep hearing that they have really good sour candy, and as someone who loves sour stuff I'm very interested. However, I'm struggling to narrow down which ones to buy...

Almost 12 hours until the event starts! Don't forget to add me there if you're competing so that we can attack each other. >:3 I do friendly fire too so no worries if you're also on Team Stardust.
And reminder that you're free to draw anyone from my Toyhouse as long as you tag this page in your attacks. I'd honestly love art of any of my OCs. XD
I never did complete the team card but I did change my page slightly and added some fun GIFs.
I'm really excited to draw some OCs tomorrow. :D
