I think it looks more like a cat now
Floating
I woke up again.
So, my name… my real name is 片 Kata. It’ll take time to get used to, I think. And IT doesn’t want to tell me its name. Why?
With all these thoughts it took a while till I noticed that it’s dark around me.
Am I blind now? Don’t I have eyes anymore?
Carefully I got up. Something in my view was changing. I could see silhouettes like before, but it wasn’t because something was gleaming. I saw things in the dark.
I found my way out of the cave. It was already morning again. The sun had risen and the birds were chirping in the trees. Suddenly I noticed the difference. I could see everything normally again. My view was clear, normally coloured. No blur, no gleaming things.
I looked down at myself, but I got disappointed. Still this burned flesh, these claws. Without much more hope I went to the pond again.
No ears, no nose, no hair. Razorsharp teeth, but my eyes weren’t black anymore.
So, somehow I did make progress. Only question is; How?

I’m really proud of this!
What is the best and worst thing about being in a zero gravity environment?
What does it feel like to float?? Do you have trouble adjusting to walking on the earth after that ??
What is it like floating in space?

This is a little chibi I did. She’s a nymph, I have not given her a name yet. If anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them! For now enjoy this sweet, little, bean!

A farewell does not always feel like one
It can wear a mask of a new beginning, a new chapter
“Let's stay friends”
I am fine with that
as long as I can keep your ghost next to me
as long as I can hear your voice
as long as I can keep your heart
as long as you can keep mine
Look at me
Look at me, with the eyes I used to see myself in
Look at me, don’t you feel anything?
Nothing at all?
No
A lie I tell you
to hide my feelings, my desires
to hide me from you
I am floating in the lake of love
I created with my missing tears
🏰✨ Baking, Building, and Blossoms – My Minecraft Creations! 🌸🍞
Hey everyone! I wanted to share some of the fun Minecraft builds I’ve been working on (plus some gorgeous creations my friends have made). From cozy bakeries to floating castles and breathtaking cherry blossom scenes, this world has been an absolute dream to create. 💖
🍰 Pixel Pastries – My Cozy Minecraft Bakery
Welcome to Pixel Pastries! 🏡 This little bakery is my pride and joy, complete with a red-and-white striped awning (made of beds, because why not?), a warm display of fresh cakes and pies, and a sandwich board outside inviting travelers in for a bite. I love the little details, from the torch-lit entrance to the smell of pixel-perfect pastries in the air. Who wants a slice of cake? 🎂
☁️ Castle in the Sky – A Floating Dream
Next up, I built a castle in the sky—because why build on the ground when you can live in the clouds? 👑✨ This mainly pink build has towering heights, wood accents, and a magical vibe that makes it feel like a hidden kingdom floating above the world. I still want to add more details, maybe a waterfall hiding the to a elevator/ladder entrance? What do you think?
🌸 Cherry Blossom Magic – My Friends' Beautiful Builds
Shoutout to my amazing friends who have created some of the most stunning cherry blossom forest landscapes I’ve ever seen! The soft pink trees, peaceful water features, and warm bridge make the whole area feel like a peaceful sanctuary. It’s the perfect place to take a break from adventuring and just enjoy the view. 🥰
🏗️ What’s Next?
I’m always looking for new ideas! Maybe a tea shop next to the bakery? Or a cozy library tucked away in the floating castle? Let me know what you’d love to see!

Your heart beats into mine,
Violently,
And unapologetic.
My turbulent mind now still,
Because the look in your eyes could kill,
But only was it your lips,
That could heal me from all of this.
Tom Scott – How much helium does it take to lift a person?
About 1 liter of helium per gram of lift. To his credit, he says that right at the start, so it’s not clickbait. Anyway, I’d be remiss if I let this popular video go unmentioned here. We just found out about the Aéroplume in France which lets visitors strap into giant balloons and fly them around inside a WW1 giant airship hangar. It’s entirely powered by the user rowing themselves around with big wings like a kayak. Very simple, but I really want to own one of these someday.

Katsu Somehira – Harta #91 cover
Oh, hi blog! Katsu Somehira draws the illustrations for the seinen manga magazine Harta. This one rocketed to the top of /r/FloatingIsFun, besting another Katsu Somehira art and another garden in space. I'd totally move to a space station permanently, free from gravity forever. Of course, I'd like to bring my family and raise them in space as Newtypes.

Katrina Yu – Witching Activities
When foraging for /r/FloatingIsFun content, sometimes I find something with a special mass appeal. Katrina Yu is a crazy talented photomanipulation artist that loves levitation. This gallery on Bored Panda features her as a witch going about her daily life. There’s plenty more from her on Reddit, Behance, Flickr, Tumblr, Instagram, and Redbubble.
Have you ever wondered what witches do on their ordinary days? I like to think that they’re always there, living among us and witnessing the world’s ordinary miracles. So this for Halloween, I imagined a daily life of a witch and tried to recreate it through my work.

My subreddit Floating Is Fun
Hi, all! I’ve been away adapting to my new life as a dad. Reddit and its great RSS feeds have been helping me keep up with eclectic music fans, retro gamers, the FGC, CAP makers, dreamers, explainers, and otaku. Still, those don’t scratch my itch for a feeling of floating, so I made my own subreddit for that!
At Floating Is Fun, we play around with things that float in the air, real or fantasy, and it doesn’t take much work for me. If prolonged loss of contact with the floor sounds like a good time, come on in and give us a push!

PiNe – Lemonade
Another one of those scenes that only works in fiction. Where would I get a glass this big? So refreshing!

Upside-down Compositions – pixivision
When you see a picture with a person upside-down, reality might be broken somehow. Maybe the room is constructed upside-down. Maybe a character isn’t falling downwards for some reason. It’s probably just a reflection anyway. I unsubscribed from dozens of my RSS feeds until I could clear my 2,500-item RSS backlog. One of the survivors is pixivision, formerly pixiv Spotlight.
Illustrations where characters are upside-down or where the background is inverted are called upside-down compositions. There’s no doubt about the fact that you’re gonna be curious about these extraordinary compositions, and will wonder “what exactly is portrayed here?”. These compositions have a light, carefree feeling to them, and will make you want to float along with the characters in them.
This time we collected a number of upside-down compositions, that will make your head turn (or you can just flip your smartphone or PC screen!). Enjoy!
Yes, I'm spelling pixiv with a lowercase P now. And just like last time I posted a pixivision article (then called pixiv Spotlight), I'm presenting this image the way it appears in my RSS feed, or at least how it used to before the format changed a little bit. I have no idea what this illustration's title translates to. Clicking the image will take you to the pixivision post.

Girls and Space!! – pixiv Spotlight
These girls should be very dead. If I could survive without heat, air, atmospheric pressure, and radiation protection, then I’d wish I could float around in space too. Maybe they can do it because it’s cool, or maybe they’re robots? pixiv Spotlight posts twice a day in English, and this one’s about girls in space.
In a far off place not yet known to us… the cosmos!! Humans have long before wanted to travel through the universe… a very romantic idea! Ever looked up at the sky and just wondered about the Milky Way? Today’s Spotlight is about the fantastically magical cosmos… with girls! Mysterious and awesome, all at the same time. Check them out.
I wondered how I should reblog a pixiv Spotlight. For now, I'll copy the behavior of pixiv Spotlight's RSS feed, with one image that you can click to get to their full post. I hope this is OK. I mean, technically I should be spelling pixiv with a lowercase p and Nanahime as NaNa_HI_ME.
NaNa_HI_ME – Yume no Hoshi
