Cover art I did for a Hazbin AU Fic written by AnubianOne on AO3 and Wattpad. Features yellow-orange feline eyes, a spread of cards showing a royal flush, and lines with red and black webbing between them. Whole lotta symbolism.

Showing off my recent works, shamelessly self-promoting. These were all gifts, haven't decided on commission prices. Yet.

here for you all the same 💜

Also, idk if this will help or not, but I'm hoping that sharing similar will help: I told my mom, knowing she was dying, "I'll see you later." idk where you stand on the afterlife or spirits or anything, but I'm pretty sure he knows.

Whether he would have wanted it or not, it's not selfish to take time to grieve; it's not for him, it's for you, it's part of healing from the loss.

*offers hugs and coco* I'm sorry for your loss, it's never easy.

that would have been brilliant, and the fashion too would have been amazing. They've even got that Spartan thing of discarding their 'flawed' children.

Yeah, 1000%, to all of this. And I'm guessing that their (the misinformed assholes) 'research' is limited to TikTok videos and extremely biased 'I survived!' stories where people are still hurting or just bitter about the person with the disorder. No two people with any given disorder are the same.

mooood 🤣

Those people are fucking stupid, and if you need to hear it: YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BPD

ALSO, BPD in men absofuckinglutely exists, and is often misdiagnosed as NPD, ASPD, and/or anger issues. Yes, it can manifest differently between men and women, but it doesn't always. Just as there's different flavors of BPD that are more dependent on one's personality.

way to do whatever it takes to keep the people we love around, at the often extremely painful and self-destructive expense of our own sense of self and needs.

extreme emotional swings that are hours/minutes/ even seconds apart, a lack of emotional skin and desperate attempts to not be abandoned by the people you have in your life.
If anything, folks with BPD traits and those with clinical level of BPD have *too much* empathy, because we go out of our +

Whereas BPD is an overwhelming fear of abandonment that manifests in conforming yourself to your social group, people pleasing to the point of blowing up because you don't feel Seen and Heard +

That's Also a completely different disorder! Sociopathy, currently umbrellaed under Anti-Social Personality Disorder with Psychopathy (even though there are significant differences there, too), is characterized by "persistent pattern of disregard for social norms, laws, and the rights of others. " +

*offers hugs* sounds like the assholes who equate BPD with narcissism, and they're jackasses. The two are in the same grouping of disorders, yeah, but they're not the same. They have similar behaviors, but the how and why are different. That's just the start of the differences. Empathy's a big one.

Does anyone else panic-prep every winter? Dunno how much is instinct and how much is food insecurity-related trauma.

both of these!

love 'em

nice try, idiot. I'm your enemy? You loathe me? You're now legally obligated to duel me, disarm me, and lift my chin and say "I won't kill you... yet" before leaving, and this continues, until one day, you save me and go "nobody gets to kill him before me." Sorry. You've done this to yourself, bro.

well, that smacks me right in the feels

thank you, I'd been wondering about this

Four wolves from California’s Beyem Seyo pack, including the breeding pair, were recently killed by state and federal agencies.

Their deaths mark a heartbreaking step backward for wolf recovery in CA, where wolves only returned a little over a decade ago after a century of absence.

that is *very* interesting 🤔

It's possible that it's because of their choices and becoming worshiped as deities even though they didn't give of themselves (aside from time or whatever)

Things like that happen, don't forget to rest the mind and refill the creative well when it gets low :)

Conservation groups ask court to protect Montana wolves from state’s slaughter plan MISSOULA, M.T. — Today, four conservation groups challenged Montana’s 2025/26 wolf regulations, which greenlit the killing of 558 wolves by hunting, trapping, and lethal...

🚨 Yesterday a lawsuit was filed to stop MT's 25-26 wolf hunting and trapping rules, which allow 558 wolves to be killed, the highest quota since 2011.

These rules are cruel and unethical and put an already at-risk population in danger.

Last couple of days, I've been working on wrapping our porch with tarp so the winter isn't so damn cold. Single tarp used, thing was SO DAMN LONG. Fucking proud of myself though, was gender affirming af too. -Lorin

it's gorgeous though

I was SO confused when I didn't see his snoot for several seconds XD maybe something was up, and he was trying to see if you were gonna react to determine how he should react?

there's videos on using umbrellas, canes and walking sticks for self-defense.
