For those looking to get off Discord in the wake of this upcoming global age-gating, I'll put my Matrix down, and also link a directory of Matrix servers for you to join if you can't self-host.

Cheese and Chocola are playing in a glitter rainbow oobleck pool that Cream, Tails, and Vanilla set up for them with their help.

As this is just corn starch, water, food dye, and edible glitter being depicted here, there's no harm in just leaving it outside to dry and disposing of it however from there, although the Chao twins' skin is going to be rainbow-colored for a while due to food dye's penchant for staining skin.

There's also a random bee flying around.

This was drawn in crayon and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

Cream and Tails are making a shared Valentine handprint collage canvas. They're sprawled out on a tarp as given loose glitter is involved, that stuff is very messy and gets everywhere, so it's best used on a tarp if used indoors.

As such, there's glitter spilled out all in front of them, and also blue-violet and fuchsia paint that Cream and Tails are using for their handprints respectively, two bottles of glue with blue-violet and fuchsia paint smudged on them respectively, shakers of purple, green, and blue glitter, and violet red, bluetiful, and vivid violet pieces of construction paper that have had hearts cut out of them scattered all over the tarp as well.

Also, trays of blue-violet and fuchsia paint that Cream and Tails used for their handprints are in front of them as well.

Pichu is fingerpainting in her family's living room with some paints she got as a present in front of the door to her back yard. She had previously built a snowman and in the background is various artwork she made including a pawprint canvas she made with Dedenne, a family drawing of herself, Raichu, and Pikachu holding paws in a grassy field, and a tile mosaic that she made and signed with her pawprint in the space where the sun is represented.

A photo of my back yard after the snow stopped falling for the night; the entire place is covered in snow for the first time in four years and I love it!

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted on it, and I applied a Polaroid PX-680 Cold 5++ film sim to it, because Polaroid cold sims look cool for stuff like this.

This is a nearly four-year-old photo from the last time we got any significant snowfall here. This was also shot through an E-M5 which sadly has long since died from sticky-shutter syndrome; I'm still kinda sore about that as I loved that camera....

Also, this was from before HPS street lights started getting phased out in favor of LED replacements so there's a bit of an orange tone that I had to correct for.

I also used a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens adapted to it; the same lens I've been using adapted to an EOS Rebel T3i lately.

A mixed-media drawing of Hamtaro, Bijou, and Penelope playing in Mega Bloks laid out like a 'city' of sorts.

This was drawn using Crayola markers and Arteza brush pens, with watercolors also layered onto the characters and for Hamtaro and Bijou's eye reflections, and was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f4.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it, and I added a Polachrome sim filter to it.

A mixed-media painting of a pair of squirrels engaged in a snowball fight with a third just chilling next to a tree.

There are a couple snowmen in the scene too.

This was painted with watercolor and then I layered crayons on top of that, including glitter crayons in attempt to simulate shimmer from sunlight reflecting on snow, and I went with a purple sky because I thought it was cuter than a gray sky.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens and it had a Polachrome sim filter applied to it.

It started snowing here in Lawton. This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens and I applied a Polaroid 590 5++ film sim filter to it.

A crayon drawing of a pair of pet mice playing on a craft table during a holiday-themed craft night with their caretakers. Scattered across the table are various craft projects that kids did, ranging from a pair of paper tree decorations; one decorated with glitter for tinsel and ornaments, and the other decorated with handprints and glitter for ornaments, a paper circle ornament decorated with glitter, a paper reindeer with blue handprint antlers, and a pinecone tree, as well as various art supplies and random glitter spills.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

An oil pastel drawing of a pair of pet mice playing with ball ornaments that fell on the floor as the tree is being trimmed.

A crayon drawing of a pair of pet mice playing in a tree as it's being trimmed. The brown mouse is playing in the tree while the white mouse is giggling at him in the foreground.

In the background are varying colors of tinsel and varying artworks that the mice's caretakers made over time.

There are also some ball ornaments of varying colors strewn about the scene.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount lens attached to it, and I fired the flash for this one in an attempt to get the glitter crayons I used to show up in the shot.
