i went to a funeral with the crazy side of the family and came home feeling like I was crazy

also felt incredibly fatigued for most of the month until i went to the doctor this week and got asthma medication against a post-covid cough i can't shake

this may in fact be helping bc i have not been feeling like ass for the past few days

though i sure hope i don't just. HAVE asthma for real now. my mom has had it all her life and i get all my autoimmune garbage disorders from her anyway so im probably living close to the edge for yet another chronic illness but COME ON

anyway the rest of the time has been spent utterly hyperfixating on building little models

i built SO MANY LITTLE PAVILLIONS for this jianghu diorama

and once that was done i got

THE LOTUS TOWER

there are some little improvements i want to make but overall i'm so delighted with it

YOOOO THESE LOOK SO GOOD did you make them from scratch or is there a kit of these?

Dioramas are so pretty

OH THESE ARE ALL KITS

the mysterious lotus casebook merch has finally hit aliexpress and i'm BLESSED

OOOOHH there's no space in my room for diorama kits but i keep looking at them yearningly anyway

there is also a huge booknook market on aliexpress apparently. that jianghu one was only 36 bucks but there are a ton of different ones

oh yeahhhh I've seen booknook kits on sale before even ones with inbuilt lights and shit

yeah this one has a MOTION ACTIVATED LIGHT SENSOR like how cool is that

WOAH

oh yeahhh i see the photo when it's lit up it looks so pretty

(there is also apparently a music box as a separate purchase, there's a little slot for it and it's mentioned in the manual but i haven't seen it for sale)

i also really like the horse carriage one

I'm glad your January has been full of models at least!

i'm really surprised by how accurate the carriage is to his house on the show. all the mlc merch i've seen has been super good quality

IT CAME WITH A HEARTFELT LETTER AND HIS CULTIVATION MANUAL

i spent an entire day just translating that with dictionary app in hand lmao

these models look so cool

that are NOT messing around with this merch

they*

This is all so beautiful!! You have such elegant tastes 🥲

oh thank you, that's such a nice compliment 😌

I always think it when I see the pics you share in your posts!!

OHHHHH sucks about illness but cool little things you're doing!!!!

Laura is so creative 🥺 I love Laura crafts

^ agreed

i'll try to post more about the stuff i do. it's hard to remember people like seeing things from me on plurk even if i don't have rp to talk about

like i did also get color pigments for my brush painting but i haven't tried them out yet

but I also bought a little seal stone from that shop and it's so cool

oh, I'm the same way... very "if it's not about RP, no one will care" vibe

and the seal stone is so cool!!

oh I love that

Ooooh I love the cat and the seal too

OHHH THESE ARE SO NICE!!!

everyone is so impressed with my wife's crafts and highbrow hobbies, as they should be u.u
