Lofi Cali Girl - beats to relax/study to during the climate change apocalypse. Lots of people have messaged me with well wishes for the LA fires. I'm lucky enough to live in a different part of California (in the SF bay area) so please do not worry about me. I do used to live in LA and have a lot of friends who live there still. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy. For the people whose houses did not burn down, they still surfer from horrendous air quality caused by the fires. The house I lived in during my teenage years is right next to the Eaton Fire, and it's so scary to think about the what ifs. I painted the Lofi Cali Girl drawing during the 2020 wildfires that affected the SF Bay Area and turned the sky red. Since then, I repost this every time another disastrous fire ravages my state. Small wildfires are a normal part of the CA landscape, but these mega fires are not. These are caused by climate change. For the 2020 fire, it was a dry lightning storm that ignited over 2000 wildfires in the middle of our dry summer. For those not familiar with California's climate, we almost never get lightning storms, especially not in the summer. For the 2025 LA fire, it was caused by a dry winter when we would normally get winter rains, and by 100mph wind that spread the fires faster than anyone can put out. This is not normal, and no amount of controlled burns or regular fire prevention could have prevented this. This is just the beginning of the climate change disasters. Some people say this is the new normal, but the reality is things will only get progressively worse. Whatever "new normal" you think this is, just know it will be even worse next year, and every year after. What can you actually do to help the most? For Americans, it would be vote for climate friendly policies and politicians. The 2024 election just ended with a grim outlook for our climate future, but don't give up. There are local elections, and the 2026 midterm elections for House and Senate. All of these can make a real lasting impact on the future of our planet, our one and only home.

Also the fact that their final scene together, floating together in the arcane, mirrors the first moment they cracked hextech together and they're floating up in the air. A few people have pointed that out already but I haven't seen anyone mention the fact that while they're floating, Viktor doesn't need his cane. Viktor perceived magic as something that would free him from his mortal coil from the very beginning. It equalized them. And in the end, when they hold their love for each other together, it is clear that they were equal all along. It wasn't magic that made Jayce consider Viktor an equal it was love. Love inextricable from the confines of mortal flesh I'm fine i'm fine it's cool i'm fine..

I don't plan to open commissions anytime soon. I’m thinking of finishing the gift and animating one commission that was promised a long time ago. After this I hope to start remake of a short film. Maybe couple of commissions between the scenes.

 But impatient old men grew trees of a different breed. Instead of planting seeds, they built chimneys to sprout trunks of smoke that branched and canopied the sky. They stole sun from the leaves and breaths from the lungs. The shade of which only children will die in.

20 years and I hope they are right about what they say, how you’re twenties are YOUR years. Your years to find you and become who you are meant to be; or your way back to yourself. All I can say is that I hope I will always be the girl who runs with the wolves and play with the foxes, who befriends the bears instead of hunting them. The girl who dances with fairies but as soon as she’s in the water becomes a mermaid. The girl who is a nymph of the forest adorned with flowers and sunbeams, freckles from when the fairies kissed her cheeks when she was born, eyes of honey and stardust that the angels blessed her with. I hope to forever be the girl with a heart of softness, soul of wild innocence, who is fiercely protective but always gentle enough to help those in need. No matter what society becomes, I will always be the healer.

My personal project is about a wizard’s journey through the beautiful landscapes of our planet. In this project, I was mainly inspired by the forest and at night. Trying to use color and a minimum of detail so that the illustrations mainly convey atmosphere and color.

yours to carry.

be careful to not allow your anxiety and past trauma access to the controls so they can direct your thoughts down a dark path. whether this is about a significant other, your best friend, a family member, or anybody you have close to you and have a great bond with.. don’t let intrusive thoughts hammer down on it. people like you. they’re honest and open with you, cause they care about you. trust in that.

I knew that we wouldn't get lucky enough to hide and get out alive. But it was the only idea I had left.

But just a touch of her wanted to go out there and escape.
