and i feel bad for disliking it because i know theyre proud of what they made and i know it took probably dozens of combined hours of effort, if not days. i have simply never used it and never will.

i have never told the creator this as i do not want to hurt them, but i want to say it publicly. i tried using it but it was not built for the base program. even after rearranging folders it did not sound like the character i loved, but...well, like a subpar impression

geki. jou is a very poorly made incarnation in my opinion. while i have no doubt that a great amount of effort was put into it, as i witnessed that effort, it does not sound much like the voice it claims to enhance. the expressions blend poorly. it sounds like other characters' vbs stitched together

but seriously tho my ulterior motive for the art books is collecting artists' portfolio so I could forward relevant jobs when I'm swamped.

if you do good bug, especially if you're from Asia, show me your stuff. let me stash your portfolio for future reference.

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

i mostly didnt like that they were friends with people trying to socially isolate an unstable 15 year old over *looks at smudged writing on hand* being too emotional and wanting attention

something about that person always rubbed me the wrong way. they were a little too friendly and sanitized. and the way they ended up with like a bajillion vbs from other people seemed very odd, like they were trying to...make a brand, almost? not sure how to put it.

i figured smth was up when some of n***'s friends contacted me about the traumatized high schooler i was friends with calling the high schooler an evil manipulator. because the high schooler had a bad past experience with n*** harassing them i was like oooh. okay. so this is what they meant

Black and white studio portrait photo of a happy white male toddler with blonde hair, wearing a white romper, leggings, and dark leather booties. He is sitting in a unique wooden chair on which the sides are in the shape of two black cats. Their legs make up the chair legs, their tails extend up the back, their backs arch gently along the sides of the seat, so that on either side of the child’s knees a happy black cat face looks forward. It’s a little hard to describe, I hope that makes sense! Like two black cats with the child suspended between them.

I need an adult-sized replica of this black cat throne. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Photo of my new tattoo…yes, it’s Omanyte, a fossil Pokémon based on ammonites! (prehistoric cephalopods)

The final day of #InverteFest seems as good a time as any to share my new emotional support tattoo:

A photo of a small crochet stim toy handmade by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan. The toy is mostly a soft pink shaped into a jellyfish with a small circular cap and three spring-like curly tendrils. One tendril is turquoise and positioned between two soft pink ones. At the top of the cap is a wrist strap.

A photo of Dhiyanah's hand holding the jellyfish stim toy. It is a bit smaller than palm-sized and the wrist strap keeps it in place so that their fingers can reach the tendrils when worn.

Made a stim toy to replace the one I lost. Freehanded a jellyfish design this time.

The jellyfish cap can be flipped inside out & the tendrils are for gently tugging + twirling on. I remembered to add a wrist strap!

A traditional art piece of a scolipede, coiled in a defensive posture as she faces down an unknown threat. Her segmented horn-like antennae are faced forward, creating a barrier between her young and the threat. She is a brilliant ruby red, with purple teardrop shaped markings along both sides of her body and a black underbelly. Her yellow eyes are narrowed and focused, her expression resolute. At the end of her body are two specialized back legs that resemble her antennae, and these are also raised threateningly. Three venipedes are visible in the scene. One has crawled from her coils and is glaring at the threat, their front legs draped over her body. Another is only visible by their antennae, which stick up from the protection of her body. The last one has tumbled over, and is wiggling around on their back trying to get back up.

A close up shot, showing off the two venipedes that are near her protective coil. The barely visible one is shiny, and their body and antennae are brown rather than the red of their siblings. Their antennae are wiggling back and forth threateningly, and there are two sparkles that glimmer in the air beside them. Their sibling is peeking over the far edge of their mother's body, glaring fiercely at the threat. They're ready to defend their mother, although from the looks of her expression, she's got things covered.

The last baby is wiggling upside down behind their mother with a mildly concerned expression, their round yellow eyes wide and bulging somewhat cartoonishly. Their little legs are wiggling in the air, and they're far too busy trying to right themself to worry about any threats. Their mother will keep them safe regardless.

A mother scolipede protecting her young 💜
Centipedes are very good parents in nature! They're caring and protective, keeping their children safe within their coils.

Digital art of a slick, black American Eel curving through dark green water as less detailed golden sargasso sways around it.

Digital art of a fire eel, a long fish with a long nose and beautiful, bright orange stripes and dots along its dark blue body. It is surrounded by green underwater plants, on a blue-green background.

Choose your fighter: American Eel or Fire Eel!
One is actually a sneaky imposter, do you know which?
And what eel should I draw next?

I found a pretty green mantis shrimp in Japan.

Photo of an adorable, petite brown tabby cat in a black photo setting with blurry purple lights behind her.

The other photographer who works with the humane society takes the most beautiful, clean, professional portraits and then I’m there like “okay but what if the kitties went to a glamour photography studio in a strip mall in 1985??”

Two 3d printed flower-hat jelly designs. On the right, the "top", showing a translucent jellyfish-shaped creature with an orange inner structure. It has dark colored stripes on the bell, and is covered with many small tentacles that are tipped with green and pink. It has a 1-inch (2.5cm) spit ring through the top. The one on the left is upside down, showing only the clear body and the orange inner structure.

Dunno if anyone still follows the tag, but I finally got my #InsertAnInvert2024 Flower Hat Jelly (not actually a jellyfish) printed! It required me to get my Multi-material setup, uh, set up. (I had already planned to do so over the holidays.)

Two more designs to go!

Digital art of a Grousewinged Backswimmer resting on tiny creek pebbles and rocks. It is an aquatic insect with reddish eyes and dark markings on a greenish body.

While it's still 2024 somewhere, let me post my last piece for #InsertAnInvert, which also conveniently lines up with the last day of #InverteFest.
Here's a Grousewinged Backswimmer. Dan MacNeal's photos on iNaturalist were a great help.
It's been a wonderful challenge and I learned lots!
