Ah, peonies. Is it inaccurate of me to not include the approximately 8 billion ants they usually carry?

This time of year I attend an animation jam event my college puts on. It’s always a ton of fun~ Each year, we vote on an attendee-submitted prompt, which are usually pretty unhinged. This year’s theme was “the gnomes are at it again,” but the runner-up was simply “yuri,” so nearly every team ended up animating gnome yuri, haha.

One part of the event is that you’re welcomed to sleep overnight in the animation building. You can bring sleeping supplies, but since I take transit in, I opted not to bring an air mattress this time (it was so, so heavy lugging it around last year). Aaaand I ended up regretting it. The floor is so hard, no amount of blankets can save you.
