🌊⚓Mei's AP Cafe💙 (Back on bsky!!)

The best advice I can give to anyone struggling with subjects they hate...

Make it fun! ✨

And if you love Pokémon...

Make it Pokémon! 😂

I told my professor today that Pokémon taught me everything in life.

How to read, math, the ♂️♀️symbols, Braille, and now... Even how to code Python!

I can't wait to graduate from my Masters and say Pokémon got me here. 🙏🏻

There's never much drawing done when hanging out with @luminettesundry.bsky.social @romirij-vt.bsky.social & @asabora.bsky.social 😅

Image depicting the three starter Pokémon from Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves. On the left there's Pombon, a fire-type that looks like a fluffy pomeranian. On the top-right corner there's Browt, a grass-type chick with big eyebrows made out off leaves. And on the bottom-right there's Gecqua, the water-type starter that's inspired by a gecko and has its signature chonky tail.

I had no idea that USA-printed Pokémon cards had such a certain "unique" smell to them. 👀

What's this a screenshot of, Izzy? It's so cute!!

I had trouble keeping up with two platforms and then one day, my password just stopped working. Didn't have the bandwidth to handle it and wasn't getting much interaction. Now it's the opposite. That "other place" is now a black hole for me lol.

The dragon Adaigal sits on the right side of the image with two party hats on his horns, a pair of sunglasses on his face, and a party blower coming from his mouth. There is confetti on the image, and philodendron leaves hang down from the top. Text on the image says: "The Kitbash First Anniversary Celebration! January 24th, 2026 2pm ET/11am PT - 1am ET/10pm PT www.twitch.tv/adaigal"

The first anniversary of The Kitbash is coming up!

To celebrate, on Sat 1/24/2026, from 2pm-1am ET, myself and several lovely streaming friends will be partying and playing games!

Come hang out if you get a chance, and feel free to say hello! Schedule coming later this week!

Illustration of a concept for a shark mob called Ocelot Shark. Inspired by the zebra shark, nurse shark, and bamboo shark, it is yellow with round red spots reminiscent of a jaguar. This shark lays external eggs hanging from corals, which are inspired by the pouch-shaped and spiral design of shark eggs. They would be peaceful and would flee upon showing aggression; sometimes they can be heard making a barking-like noise on the surface of the water when they surface to gulp air.

Illustration of a concept for a shark mob called Galleon Shark. Inspired by the tiger shark, it is bluish in color with dark stripes and yellow details, with a reddish snout tip and protuberances resembling small horns on its head. This shark would tend to hunt other sharks around it, being more active at night. They would be peaceful but could become aggressive when threatened. They are quite curious and do not hesitate to approach.

More on the Galleon shark concept. The illustration shows that they can be attracted to food in the player's bag, approach while you have your back turned, and steal the food, quickly swimming away. But it is shown that if you tap its snout as it approaches, it will swim away.

Illustration of a concept for a mob called “Wanderer Shark,” inspired by the whale shark and the colors of sea slugs. It would be large and slow, yellow in color with vibrant cyan and blue accents and details on its fins reminiscent of butterfly wings. They would be accompanied by small “fairy fish,” inspired by the behavior of remoras that accompany sharks. They are blue, pink, and yellow in color, and their small fins resemble fairy wings. They would be gentle giants that just wander the open sea in search of magical plankton. They say that their presence is announced when the plankton glows with bioluminescence.

Now that Hytale is here, I'm reminiscing about these shark-inspired mob design ideas I sketched out five years ago.

An attempt to diversify our idea of sharks in games, moving beyond the old stereotypes of aggressive mobs without depth! 🦈✨

You've already blossomed in my heart, ary~ 🌹

We'll kick Siriushater out of the family!
