Nightmare

I would probably also make replies mutuals only. I've had quite my fill of people projecting their desires onto me and not getting the hint no matter how much I specify Peal is not me.

You would not believe some of the strange things people have done in the past, lol. If I make one I'll probably only allow mutuals to comment to save myself the headache of weirdos getting overly attached to their ideas of me.

I originally had it in my description that I do occasional nsfw but because I hadn't drawn much of anything in so long it never came up until now and realized that might jumpscare some people, lol. If I do make a second account I will probably put some hefty limits on who can interact with it.

Been debating on if I should post nsfw here, on a separate account or not at all. Being ace and drawing nsfw puts me in the awkward position where I like drawing it but don't like the weird shit people do sometimes. Enjoying my art is fine; sliding into my dms for horny reasons not so much.

I never posted this one here? Vim's design came about as a game of "how do I change everything about her originally being a Grimmchild without losing the vibe of one". And the answer came as inversion: black face white body. She's older than she appears but Peal still treats her like a daughter.

Personally I think it comes down to dehumanization. I'm trans, ace and autistic so I've had my fair share of that in life. Bugs are about as far away from human as you can get from a terrestrial critter standpoint. Not to mention how diverse and gender fucky bugs are.

I wasn't too sure either at first but it's happened enough times that I'm like "Wait a minute." Aro/ace people are rare to begin with and the trans combo even rarer so it does stand out compared to other communities.

It would be interesting if there was a questionnaire for bug artists to see how common it actually is and why they chose bugs specifically.

I would say that counts yes. It's a pattern I've noticed and it's kind of funny how common it is.

Bug artists that happen to be both trans and ace seems to be a frequent enough phenomenon that I can't help but wonder if there's something to it from a psychological standpoint, lol.

Got mine done a few months ago and I bounced back from surgery super fast. Definitely recommend a shower chair to get you through the first week though. Scarring is super minimal for laparoscopic too!

Oh god, though that's not too far off from some of my past experiences. I once had these two girls get so jealous of me and my ex-friend's ocs they made the most obvious knockoffs of them in the world and publicly roleplayed one r*ping the other. I'm still baffled by that one.

Same goes for anything that's too ooc. So if you post any ship art with my ocs and I happen to repost it, you better believe it's going to happen in the comic eventually if it hasn't already (I will be very impressed if anyone ever correctly guesses the pair that gets together at the end). 8D

Oh, in regards to the oc boundaries thing, I want it to be known that while you can ship and do nsfw, I will not endorse pairings that aren't canon to prevent any confusion about that. Some people can get a little, uh, overly enthusiastic about ships and I don't need that kind of drama in my life.

Ye, I have that HK one. The other one I have is an Angel Dust themed one with spider webs along the sleeves (don't care about the show much but the design is really nice).

I really love ones that have prints along the sleeves but I hardly ever see it for whatever reason. I have two that are sadly getting pretty worn out so I need more soon.

So I wear zip-up hoodies almost religiously all year round and I'm so annoyed at the lack of nicely designed ones that I'm like this 🤏 close to deciding to just take a detour into designing a whole line of clothes for myself once I'm done with my current Peal piece.

🖌️ Is Fanart okay?
Hell yeah brother.

💞 Is shipping okay?
Yes, but not my sonas.

🖋️ Is Fanfiction ok?
I guess?

♊️ Can other’s draw their OC’s with yours?
Ye

🙅‍♀️ NSFW?
Sure, but not my sonas and please respect the orientations of my ocs.

🤖 AI?
A plague upon your house.

I got it off aliexpress on a whim cause it was cheap, lol. I was expecting it to be a bit scrungly like the Pure Vessel I also got is but it's actually a pretty solid piece!

I wasn't really expecting much when I ordered this Grimm figure but I'm actually pretty impressed by the quality of it. Got a nice heft to it too. Could probably stab someone with the sharp edges of his cape though.

Clip is so good. Been using it for well over a decade and while I've tried other programs nothing comes close.

That's an "I'm gonna bite" face if I've ever seen one.

Love the cozy vibe to it!

For some reason YouTube started suggesting horror AU My Little Pony videos and I understand nothing of the original source material but you know what? Some of these are actually pretty rad. 10/10 background noise while I draw.

Kind of crazy that this bug man has been rotating in my brain like a rotisserie chicken for almost 5 years now; with no signs of stopping any time soon. You have no idea how many old scrapped stories I have. I usually struggle to maintain interest but Peal really latched on with his claws, lmao.

This piece is kind of a lot for my skill level and has been sitting as a WIP for ages but I'm gonna try to actually finish it for Peal's upcoming birthday.

Hnnngh, trying to decide between getting doggo or assorted phasmid eggs. Exotic insect species are so hard to get a hold of here because COLD and also illegal to bring across the border (not illegal to have them once here though, which is very silly but I won't complain) so it's much expensive.

I haven't fully committed yet but I MIGHT be getting a shiba inu puppy next month. I've owned a chow chow before so I figure another primitive cat-like breed would suit me well.

Describe your plot in five words or less—if you dare.

It's unhinged behavior from a crumbling empire. A strange thing to watch but not entirely a surprise. Americans like to think we are USA Lite but we're actually quite culturally different in a lot of ways. If anything we're more like a cold Australia, lol.
