Struggle

 

Agent 3 is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool. And me. and troubled. and thats bad but its good for an interesting character !

 

the push back and forth between getting justice and using violence for that goal is... rough

 

Puzzle #3 - "That Sounds Right

Good morning... or afternoon... or night, idk. This is the third puzzle on my blog!

I had this theme in my notes for a LONG time and I decided to make it into a blog puzzle. It isn't the tightest, but I think its a fun one.

You can download the .puz here.

This one I thought was too easy and simple (and maybe even loose) of a theme to submit anywhere, but hey, who cares. My puzzle, MY RULES. Also, sorry for the references that the general public won't get, there were a lot of fun entries I could clue to my own liking, meaning, my interests.

HIGHLIGHTS:

STOP right there if you DONT want spoilers.

1-Across: Another splatoon reference!!!! You'll see that this is a common theme between Luna and I, This is definitely a fun clue as it references an idol from the game but also the sunken scrolls!
4-Across: Here's the Family Guy clip
14-Across: So sad I didn't get to go on this while it was operating, but hopefully I can if it gets relocated
35-Across: Yes! Daytona and Indianapolis have two main courses, and INDYCAR races on both of them! Two different events, the road course and the oval (used for the Indy 500).
1-Down: Thanks to MatPat for all the Game Theory videos he made on FNaF
2-, 4-, 6-Down: I noticed that all three of these entries can be clued as ["Dude"] but just with different tones! Very interesting
9-Down: I always am so good at this game
32-Down: Singapore is Luna's favorite F1 race, and I'd like to go there but its just expensive :(
48-Down: I never really watched this show, but I always saw my brother watching it, I grew up more with like, Sid the Science Kid or Oswald (remember those)

A lot of F1 and racing references in this one, and with the return of F1 from it's summer break this weekend, it seems appropriate. 

I might do a themeless next month, or a 21x, not sure. Stay tuned!

dutch girl in white study yayayayaya

 went to the met!!! WOOHOO

this is a quick study of Dutch Girl in White by Robert Henri. it was the most alluring painting i saw there and i dont know why... but its really hard to capture her essence like the original and i kind of gave her a disproportionate face...

the og^^^ dated 1907. like HOW does he do this
 

color theory is freaking hard. but i feel like i get a little better the more i think while i make art. who knew u had to think to be good at things lol 

but i feel like the colors werent what i got wrong here. its definitely the proportions that are off and i think its cause i focused on color so much. u gotta find a healthy balance which i can be kinda bad at when i get focused

ok bye ☾☁︎ 

Puzzle #2 - "Make Believe"

 Hello!!!! This is my second blog post/puzzle. 

This one I made for my birthday !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 (It was actually yesterday). I am a bit late in posting this and only finished this in like 2 days-ish, hence the mediocre fill.

Once again, you can download the .puz here.

I knew I wanted to do a puzzle at least every month, and especially on my birthday in July. I wanted a simple theme to commemorate it, and this is what I came up with. While it isn't super tight, you are basically making a WISH with each start of the theme entries

HIGHLIGHTS:

Spoilers ahead if you don't wanna be spoiled about the puzzle. 

18-Across: I loveeee hidden picture puzzles, esp Where's Waldo. I used to have the Highlights magazines with the hidden pictures, and I loved them

20-Across: Obviously, my blog partner and real-life partner. Very glad to have them with me, and not just playtest the puzzles for the blog, but everything else
49-Across: I would say I am more street smart than book smart, as I've realized that I feel I have done worse in school over the years, but maybe that's just because I haven't been trying as much

56-Across: While I am not a Chaeyoung bias, I am a very heavy TWICE stan (Dahyun-biased) and really wanna go to a concert of theirs, yet they literally JUST ended their 5th world tour yesterday. 😭

61-Across: I really only like this one because it has my name in it (self promo). But I will eventually be one in the coming years
66-Across: I went to Universal's Epic Universe recently and ate at the Mead Hall. Food was alright, but I fear that it was a bit too niche of an angle to clue this entry as that
2-Down: I could've done a clue about the streaming box company, yet I felt 67 was funny and related to the youngens better

5-Down: Luna and I both like F1, and I would really like to go to a race weekend with her sometime soon, hopefully not tooooooo soon
34-Down: While MetroCards were useless, I miss them, even though I never really used one and only used OMNY
59-Down: Peep the OREO cluing project

Ok, enough chit-chat, I will be back next month (hopefully) with another puzzle!!!1!!1!11
