Sometimes I get the urge to do something dramatic in a bid for attention and then I remember that no one's paying attention anyways.

A goblin with pink hair wearing crude plate armor and a floppy green cap. They have a glowing magical paintbrush in their upraised left hand, and are holding a barrel lid as a shield in their right. There are paint splotches on the shield.

And done! Everyone, this is Palette the Goblin, or "Pala" for short. They're the new mascot for my streams.

Pala, this is everyone.

I'll have a breakdown of this piece on Patreon and Ko-fi for free once I'm not sick. ๐Ÿค˜

Hi everyone

I'm so so sorry to do this, but I've been unable to find any work and my finances have become a very heavy burden that I am struggling greatly with and it's having knock on effects with my physical health. Anything helps, even if it's just a repost:

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itโ€™s always a matter of will not resources.

Yeah. No hate on a star fighter, but the utilitarian aspect of the first ship was one of its coolest aspects. It felt like a ship that could be lived in.

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.

Multiple Ash and Alan Wake figures nearly finished

So still need to paint all their hands. Also going to a tabletop game shop tomorrow to pick up some gray for Ash's sideburns, maybe a new red for blood splatter, and an orange for the Heather figures. Hoping to get these listed over the weekend.

Hey all -- here's the thing: I really wanna take Paul Scott Canavan's Mastering Imaginative Realism class, but since losing my job, I have no extra $.

SO! I'm running a fundraising event to try and raise the extra money. I'm offering 30 drawings for 30$ apiece!

Cops are still cops.

The police arenโ€™t suddenly law-abiding saviors now that white people are being threatened by a government โ€œlaw enforcementโ€ organization.

Your privileged past experiences with cops hasnโ€™t made them the grown-ups in the room that are coming to protect you from fascism.
