In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In which we talk about Space!!

Hello everyone, Monday is here and another week is starting! Things sound as they're going fast, don't you think? Wow! It seems like it was yesterday that we were on my birthday week! And now it's August 13th, a day after I reached the 20 years mark! I'm still celebrating though, just today the crazy people of my class presented me with a nice surprise party!! I was in shock, of course, but definitely enjoyed it a lot!
And how are you today? How are things going? As always, I wish you the best! I'm so glad to have you here! Today I was completely out of ideas for my blog, which always sucks, I hate creative block so much! I thought about writing about a really nice illustrator - Louis Wain - BUT I was afraid it was gonna be a big post and I wanted something smaller and more relaxing, so, as usual, I went to explore the folders of my computer, and found some incredible images I got from Nasa's Twitter a year ago! And decided to share them with you guys! 
Okay, I said I wanted more relaxing, but I'm not sure if the space fits in this category. From distance, it may sounds peaceful, but the opposite is true, inspite of the laws of physics and chemistry that dictates everything there (and here too, but whatever), those rules I don't even pretend to think I'll one day do some effort to try to understand anymore, things are a chaos! Small and hot stars explode and become supernovas, things collide with each other, planets go round and round and round, orbitating stars (though some don't, but whatever AGAIN!), yes, things are an ordered mess and an anarchy with strict rules, and we have galaxies and so on, here we are, on Earth. Of course, everything I just mentioned happens in slow motion, but not any slow motion, REALLY REALLY SLOW slow motion, like, we humans are here on Earth for about like less than a million years, and we only started to think about creating cities like 5,000 years ago, well, does that sounds too much for you? Know that takes millions of years for a meteor to crash with another thing and our sun it's at the end of his life, he'll start to die 3 billion years from now. Yes, it's a mess, but a REALLY SLOW ONE, or are we too fast? Hmm... Something to think about!
By that I don't mean to downgrade humans, that wasn't my intention whatsoever, we just go in different rhythms, us and the Universe, what can we do about it? Yes, just stay alive and keep going...
Now that's enough with my monologue, let's see the pictures!




This one is my personal favorite!!




Yes, the space is fascinating and epic! And beautiful too! All those fantastic colors enchants me a lot! I've been in love with it for a long time now, I didn't miss any of the documentaries on television when I was a child. I didn't learn much about physics behind it, and in school I never undestood it, I was terrible at this subject and honestly hated it (still do), but I did learn a thing or two about the space itself and I'm always fascinated by it! When I was having painting classes back in 2015, I even did a painting on the Nebulous of Orion!


It's not 100% accurate, of course, and it doesn't do justice to the real one, which was honestly expected, but it's one of my favorite paintings that I made! I even gifted it to my mom back in 2015, for her birthday! This post was supposed to be small, but omg it's getting really big! I should probably stop now!
Well... If you're still here, you're the best honestly, never forget about that! Thank you so much! See you next time!
