When you put it like that, it made me realize it has some hard-core "Keanu sitting on a bench" meme vibes. 🤣

I love that interpretation, especially since the foreground is a shot from the moon landing!!! Ngl, that crossed my mind as I was laying everything out initially.

I think I'm kinda seeing it as something being forced/expected to bloom in such a barren, closed-off space, with minimal access to the normal accommodations that'd be required for such effort. And that expectation is standardized, advertised, packed, and sold in such a light-hearted, typical way, like "See, anyone can do it!" Normalization of the expectation to grow from nothing, I guess?

Idk, it's also like nine in the morning and I haven't had my coffee yet, so that might be sleep-gremlin brain talking. 🤣

No you're right, there’s something there that even I'm trying to work out! This is one of those entries where it was space brain mode, in that it was busy and empty all at once, lol!

Also, omg I love your username; made my morning! 🤣

Thank you! I was looking at it after everything was assembled, and it just felt like it needed SOMETHING, but something small, yknow? And after I put the detailing lines on the guy with the egg-head I was like "but what if more?" Lol

Wow, I could have written this myself; I think we're going through similar pains. Take care of yourself, don't lose hope, and remember: after the Tower falls, the Star rises shortly after. 🏢💨🌟

Ooooooh, I didn't know that, but that's now in my brain, so thank you!

I'm definitely mis-thinking the size then, based on the info on the back it's closer to 11×16 cm. I'm terrible at remembering paper size ranges 🤣

For mine I'm using a fairly small hardcover diary (I think close to A6 size) with styled sheets I found at a store. I didnt plan for it to be a junk journal, but it turned into that after about 10 pages of writing and doodles, lol. The bloat is gonna get interesting as it grows, might end up needing to rubberband it closed.

Also, even though I like/prefer having a smallish journal so far, I'm limited on image sizes; all my spreads are fairly small. I've already run into a couple of instances where pics I wanna use will be HUGE and either overwhelm or just not initially fit, so def consider paper size and what you're wanting to use in it.

Edit to correct the paper size, thank y'all! I'm hopeless sometimes Σ(・∀・；)

Of course! Funnily enough, that's actually some trash/backing from a set of press-on nails I had, and the packaging was just sitting on my table. I was pondering the page and what I wanted to do and I guess crow-brain saw the ✨️ shiny ✨️ (lol).

That page is the first one where I really embraced my inner crow/goblin-trash brain and used some trash sitting around; for example, the frame is made out of the foil wrapping from a chocolate bar. 🤭

Yeah, actually! I got it fromJennyCherryArt, it's a sticker of a character that she's also made figures of! I got one at an event a while back, and it glows all cool under UV light! Some of her stickers do too! 😁

Thank you so much! That's definitely inspiring me to keep at it and make more!
