Welcome to my website!

Autumn feels 16.11.25.

I remember thinking in the past that I only liked the start of autumn, when there's colourful leaves and the air is fresh and cool. I remember thinking that I don't like the later part of autumn, when leaves have fallen and everything is gray and sad.

However, this year I've been enjoying autumn greatly, even when it's been rainy and gray. There's still plenty of colours; different shades of brown and gray, the grass is still green and so are the pines and firs. There are even some berries that still hang on.

Maybe it's partially because I'm unemployed and graduated, so I don't have to go out into the rain if I don't want to. That said, I have enjoyed my walks whenever I have voluntarily gone out into the mist and gray. Not sure why, but it's been a nice autumn.

On Friday, the sun was out for the first time in like, a month, and it was lovely. There's something about late autumn and winter sun that speaks to me. The steep angle of the rays shines golden on the evergreens, and it feels warm in my heart while the air is crisp and biting.

Yesterday it was still sunny and I was on a walk, and noticed that what I had thought as frost on the grass was actually light snow. It must have fallen at some point at night, and remained in the yards and on the fallen leaves of the park even though the temperature rose a little over 0 celsius during the day. It was very pretty. It didn't cover much, but it decorated the environment, giving another color to the palette.

Long time no see 12.10.25.

I've had ants in my pants for at least 2 weeks which is why I haven't been able to update my website. A huge hyperfixation took over and only now I've calmed down enough to focus on writing this 😅

What was the hyperfixation you ask?

Genshin Impact babeyyyy!!!

Nod-Krai (a-and Flins..!) specifically!

Look, I've been waiting for Snezhnaya for so long, bc I knew it'd be where I would be from in Tevyat's world. Or, now that we have Nod-Krai, I can say that I'd be specifically from there!

They have so many Finnish names and references to Finnish language and folklore it's making me insane aaaaugh!!

See, you gotta understand that we Finns have been used to being the small, insignificant country that nobody knows or remembers over the centuries (well, we've only been independent for a bit over 100 years but anyway,) so even now that we're somewhat known worldwide, we are still overcome by our basic instinct to go to the Market Square and swim in the fountain at any mention of anything Finnish in the international media. You can see different variations of "Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan" in comment sections under things mentioning Finland)

So can you imagine how I feel, playing my fun little Chinese vidigame, constantly running into common Finnish names that I never see in other video games, reading full Finnish words (such as Kuutar, Luonnotar, and kuuhenki), and finding mentions of Finnish folklore (kratti, many things in the books you find in Nod-Krai)? My market square instinct is triggered indefinitely, I'm foaming at the mouth and feeling like an overstimulated cat not knowing whether to bite or lick everything in sight!

So yeah anyway I've been having fun aha. New update soon so this recovery period will be cut short and I'll devolve into a feral beast in a bit.

I do wish to write some sort of journal entry on the Finnish aspects of Nod-Krai at some point, though! It just. Might take a while till I get to it `:D

PS i wrote this last Sunday but i lost my phone that day and it took my brains out until now so i'm only now updating after all ;w;
