Wild to me that they were associated with Satan for... growing in the ground. That's most stuff lol

Also wild we still have to forage them 😮

The secret in UFO 50's Campanella 3 isn't *fun* per se, but it's definitely fun*ny*.

A lot of people say "I wish making friends was as easy as it was as a kid" but I was horrible at it even as a kid 🙈

An orange flapjack octopus (octopus with short limbs). They have two yellow goat-like eyes. The upper half of their head is wrinkled in the same way a brain would be.

My game's lore is very important to me! Though I try and slip that in as side-conversations so it doesn't overwhelm the actual story that's happening.

Two humans. There's a goth/emo human on the left, with a black hoodie and black hair. They have a red popsicle on their hoodie. On the right is a fat human in a grey argyle vest. They have poofy brown hair and green jewellery.

I hate drawing humans but I love designing them. Look at these goobers.

Tough call between Kabuto Park and Catgirl, but I made this character my pfp on Discord so I'm gonna say Catgirl.

Ive been away from my computer for a week. Just posting here so I dont get swallowed by the algorithm or whatever happens if I go a week without posting.

Did you know if you dont get much attention on a dating app, it shows you to less people? That was Very Encouraging to be on the end of.

Two black boards, from the first creature, stacked on top of each other height-wise. There are no neon lights. The top board's legs are repurposed as arms, still coming from the back of the board.

The neon woman from the previous creature is now without a backboard, instead put against a scribbly black blob. There are two of them, fused at the hip like CatDog. They are sharing a martini glass.

A neon light sign depicting a woman in a martini glass. She has yellow blobby hair, and the lower half of her body spills out of the glass like a liquid. The sign has robotic legs.

Happy Valentines Day! Here's a three parter ♥
First up is Neo Beo!
"The neon lights are the females of this species, while the boards are the males. They fuse together during marriage, meaning they're effectively stuck in a bridal carry."

A round, squat humanoid figure that's entirely white. They have perfectly circular eyes, stubby limbs, and an oval on their belly.
