So it's been awhile, ha,
So a lot of happened so I guess I'll do some updates
So I graduated from secondary school back in May. It's weird to think about, because I moved to this account on my 13th birthday and now I'm 19. Due to covid protocols, we had a choice of physically doing the exams, getting predicted grades or both - and I went for only predicted grades for the sake of my own mental health. And when the results came out in September, I got 553 / 625 points!
Because of how well I did, I actually ended up getting a scholarship for my top college/university!! I'm doing a Bachelor of Science degree and today was actually my last day of the semester! My exams are after the new year, so I have plenty of time to study and relax.
Another thing that's pretty important that in August, our family got a puppy! His name is Cyrus and he is 25 weeks old (26 weeks next Monday). He's a shortie jack russell terrier and he has such a big personality, and large jumps. He's still teething so that kinda sucks but it's expected, and hopefully he's permanent teeth are all but fully out.
And onto more, not great news...Well, I haven't made it hidden that I have had migraines in the past and it's affected me more and more over the years. Unfortunately it's gotten a bit worse. But in August I finally got to see a neurologist, and he professionally diagnosed me with frequent/chronic migraines and a mild tremor in my left arm (there is sometimes one in my right and my left gets worse, but that's why I'm very frustrated or upset). I have new long term and short term treatment and it's kinda worked, I guess.
Mainly, I can feel the other effects of the migraine rather than the head pain - which most recently has been balance issues and walking issues. It hurts to stand up for too long or at all some days and I even almost completely blacked up trying to walk upstairs a few days ago. I've had to do some convincing that try to get my mother to get me a shower chair, since it's hard to shower when standing up feels awful. It still sucks how people in my house sometimes ignore just how disabiling my migraines are.
And worst part, there is no cure for migraines. We didn't learn until after the neurologist appointment that my grandmother's sister and several other relatives (aunts, cousins) also had debilitating migraines - so it seems to be a genetic thing. But on the bright side, it's not a tumor - which is what I was really worried about.
I don't quite remember how I identified the last time I was really active on here - but it's changed over the past year so I might as well come out again. Hi, I'm Daimian. I'm a trans-nonbinary (auti-agender) gay person who's also on the asexual spectrum (using demi and nebula atm). I use xe/they pronouns and really any neopronouns that aren't similar to she/her.
In terms of fandoms and media? All I've really gotten into is Persona and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (but I really want to play Xenoblade Chronicles 1). I've cried at the end of P3FES, P5R true ending (my first Persona game), the end of XBC2's main story and at the end of Torna: The Golden Country.
Persona 5 Royal entered my life at a very good time last year, and I have to say - it's one of my favourite games of all time. It holds a special place in my heart. And thus, it became a special interest. Simple.
XBC2 isn't so much of a special interest, but I still love it...(and Zeke )
And I am so excited to get Brilliant Diamond for Nollaig. It's not secret that I love gen 4, since Platinum was my very first pokémon game. And I'll finally get to play it again! I will definitely be shining hunting Dialga (and probably other legendaries)
And as I note now that I'm doodling again and may upload a few more pieces this year - I just want to say thank you for everyone who has been around for the past 6 years. There were times where I was struggling to live and thought my life was meaningless, and I do believe one can see that in my art.
Searching through my old art is so strange, especially since my outlook and opinions on so much stuff has changed over the years. It truely feels like it's another person. And in some respects, it is a different person.
So much has happened that I never wouldn't imagined could've, both good and traumatizing. But I survived. And my art is a testament to that.

Days since operation - 46
Woke up at 12pm again, that’s not a surprise. I played some AA2 after taking my meds and breakfast. It was raining basically all day long, so I was inside all day.
My brother and I basically had to clean the entirety of our upstairs, which isn’t hard. I hoovered the stairs and all the upstairs room, which actually got me to clean my room - while my brother did polishing.
I finished off one of my wips and started the cover for chapter 9. In fact, after I played AE2 - I started chapter 9! I couldn’t sleep till 3am but hey, I’ll probably wake up at 12 again.
