I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
It’s been a while but I was learning to songwrite and record a few years ago. Been focusing on education lately so not as much time for it these days.

For the last year and a half I’ve been writing and drawing a fluffy, sapphic comic based on a very unserious British science-fiction show about a time travelling alien in a blue box (4 chapters so far). It’s on AO3.
Has anyone asked OP what they create? What do you create, OP?
Solid comic!
I grow crystals all day. I have a cool idea for a video game so I’ve been learning Godot recently too.
I draw angels mostly, but I do draw fanart from time to time as well! I’ve uploaded progress pictures, timelapses, and files associated with my work, too!
Huh. I’ve never considered the IA as a place to upload my pictures.
Really cool work - you don’t happen to be on BSky or tumblr, maybe?
Thank you so much!! And I am! I’m on Tumblr and also Bluesky!
A mess
Burritos
Currently? Walnut ink.
That sounds interesting. What’s the process for making it? What colour does it come out?
Cortisol
Worldbuilding and video games! :(
Resentment in others.
I’m working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Oh, that must be exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time, seeing your characters come to life. How do you convey what you imagine the characters to sound and act like?
Oh yeah, its amazing to hear the voices for these people but, as you say, it’s scary. Since I’m the director and creator it all falls to me to decide everything. I mean EVERYTHING from inflictions in their voices, how a line is delivered, scheduling, payment etc. Of course, I give my actors freedom to interpret how they see the characters. You have to have a fine balance between making decisions but also letting them be creative with what they do during directing sessions.
I created an email service called https://port87.com
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
https://sveltematerialui.com - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
https://nymph.io - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
https://github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.
I have a big sprawling scifi universe I draw pictures of. There is a lot of lore in my head for it that I really am going to write down and present now that there are so many visuals.
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.
I create stupid jokes and sarcastic comments on Lemmy.
But mostly just a lot of CO²
And a lot of um… excretions, liquids and soilds, ya know…
I wanted to do worldbuilding and write a story but my depression kinda derailed that 😓
Time to get off lemmy. Go for a run/jog/walk in the cold to the nearest stationery store and buy some pen and paper. Then get home and get to writing.
You can do it!
