Schrödinger's Gender

Flat colored bust of a muscular, dark gray demon with a pointed snout, tusks, dorsal mane, and a small flame above his forehead. Accents on his body are rendered in gold.

trying something different for getting art done this year and it's kinda working? don't wanna jinx it though

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit. Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks! Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you. No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset. It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast. Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

trying something different this year to (hopefully) hold myself to working on art and Finishing more things instead of this mess of jumping around so much nothing gets done

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

might fiddle w this more some other time but oh my god I need to get at least a third thing finished this year the adderall shortage has been beating my ass

been thinking abt that nurse shark with xanthism since august

prepares to be booed off stage but omega planetes isn't that bad. the problem stems from the number of players in the rando pool who aren't adapting to it and expect to be carried

The theme of the contest was to draw "a large monster with an endemic life creature from Monster Hunter Wilds"; so I painted a (dead) Rey Dau and a Pallbug.

One with the dust – Illustration that I had the pleasure to make for an art contest on a Monster Hunter French discord server, and my submission won 1st place!! I'm so happy ☺️
It was made on livestream with my Patrons!

Society is a construct, designed to justify the cruel actions of the wealthy few to inflict harm on countless lives as much as possible. Therefore, I no longer need it.

With light of recent events, evergreen.

Watercolour painting of a merperson in various shades of blue and peachy pinks. Their hair, tail and tentacles curl delicately throughout the composition. The artist will paint on the back of that watercolour paper again, despite the cold sweats.

'tis done! My paper crimes have paid off, at last!

The back of my watercolour paper is more unforgiving than the front, but it lent itself beautifully to layering. This painting was a success!

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:

Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Feels like "payment processor Stripe admits to being an anti LGBTQ hate group" should be an actual headline somewhere.

A digital artwork of a deathclaw with pale blue-grey skin and darker blue scales, featuring design aspects from a man-o'-war jellyfish. Its neck is a vivid blue-purple, and it has splaying transparent crests on its head, neck, and along its entire tail.

A closeup of the previous image, showcasing the deathclaw's head and torso, particularly the deep glistening blue of jellyfish tendrils along its neck.

🔥Sailfin had an overhaul!
Deathclaws with defensive mutations tend to be a little more passive than their active hunting cousins - but far more dangerous to tangle with. Usually content to drift in water, it can deliver a potent neurotoxin via tiny, fragile barbs with one slap of its tail.

half of my issues with communicating via text would be solved if there were a punctuation mark specifically for rhetorical questions bc not using a question mark ain't working

bold of you to assume I have a process instead of the sudden obsessions that come to me in the form of a hazy delusion that I have little control over

wish there were a way to give an essay's worth of elaboration that isn't an ugly mile long reply thread. or a notes app screenshot

reminded I easily fall into looking like an idiot on these micro blogging apps bc I have to hack apart my communication style and cut things I want to include to fit within the character limit

I do think they should have a way to disable media editing apps (and remixing) in the account settings and I'm def not defending the poor taste in implementation here. I'd say more but I shoulda bit my tongue and recognized I don't collect my thoughts well on a 250 character limit

god I wish discord would be transparent about anything for once. admittedly I'm on my phone and this is only on desktop right now; if that's the case it's incredibly tone deaf to push it as a preview. they really haven't done themselves any favors regarding AI these past few years
