ashen afterglow

many of whom are *aggressively* angry about that fact, mind you.

I have got some feelings about #homestuck that I didn't expect to have in 2025, but here we are. Can you imagine being a totally new fan, starting out brand new with content that already has like 10+ years of plot, an 'ending', questionable epilogues, and a fanbase waking from the crypt?

genuine question but can someone explain what the hell roblox is to an old person? for like 10 years I've been casually assuming it's probably sort of like minecraft had a baby with fortnite, whatever that means. bonus points if you can give me a funnier explanation so I don't have to google it.

digital art of OC 'Paris': a fit young man with medium-dark skin, tousled dreadlocks, and a scattering of freckles, tilting his head back, eyes closed, with a meditative expression. he has snakebite piercings, a brow piercing, and a couple of earrings, one of which is a star.

my first #artfight attack this year. paris, belonging to iamscarletiam @ AF. felt like drawing a human for once. #teamfossils #artfight2025

a copper dragonborn monk seated in a resting, open stance, with a bo staff in their hands. they are wearing a gauzy teal silk shawl over one shoulder and belted at the waist, and loose mustard yellow pants, with cloth wrappings around their calves and feet, and leather gauntlets on their wrists. they have a prominent lichtenberg scar on their chest.

aw yeah i did an art
my copper dragonborn monk who sees a shiny and wants to put it in their hoard.
I totally finally drew them bc I'm trying to do #artfight2025 so I needed to have some OCs on my page.

in other news, I am very bad at social media. I think my ability to livetweet (liveskeet? what are we calling this again?) my thoughts atrophied somewhere around 2016.

now I just discord my train of consciousness or talk to my cats.

I could still yell about how good Arcane is and how well-written the characters are and how all of them make you *feel* something about them because of that but I'm having a moment.

alright but why can't I get through difficulty 2+ swarm disaster in #honkaistarrail
I've tried remembrance path, I've tried abundance path, I've tried farming relics and boosting characters as high as I can get them. am I just getting obscenely bad RNG? am I missing the magic char that would work?

sometimes a family is a giant bloodthirsty wolfman, a lesbian who is coping poorly with divorce, an unwilling cult hero, and a oh god it's too soon #arcaneseason2spoilers

more things:
arcane
spiderverse
classpecting characters from other works of fiction

what should I draw?

deleted my bird place account and it felt so good 👨‍🍳🫰👄

things I'm currently at least a little bit into:
helluva boss
honkai star rail
genshin impact
wuthering waves
the temeraire series
final fantasy (especially VIII)
homestuck fanworks
cooking
art
d&d (my dragonborn monk)
woodcraft and furniture repair
sewing clothes and little crafty things

anyway, I came over here because I haven't been able to tolerate the Bird Place in years, Zuckerbook is hell, Insta requires a whole ass daily portfolio, and the last social media site I actually enjoyed spending time on was LJ, before it was bought out for Russian bot farming.

maybe if I upload to GIPHY first...

an old animation I did of Double Trouble from She-Ra, morphing into a #fantroll version of themself, then a human version. was mostly playing with style and expression, and teaching myself to loop a gif. still super fond of the fantroll design though.

dammit, who was gonna tell me I can't upload a gif animation?
:(

another #artfight2022 repost, and #furryart too. Kewpie, a character belonging to foxpotion @ ArtFight.

A yellow-blood fantroll with four horns, long black hair in an asymmetrical undercut, a crop top, and chipped pink and green nail polish operates Alternian audio equipment, in a nightclub DJ gig.

reposting some old ArtFight pieces from 2022, now... first, a fantroll (Khalid Konami) belonging to PaperTiiger @ artfight. #homestuck #fantroll #artfight2022

a muscular anthro woolly rhino man with pierced nipples and a nosering, ripping his tank top off, because who doesn't like that?

Reposting some #furry art I did for sales and auctions a couple years back. This is the, uh, cropped SFW version. ;)

Who doesn't love a bara woolly rhino #anthro ripping his shirt off?

a red river hog anthro lady in a sports bra and olive green cargo pants making the Rosie the Riveter pose, with a kerchief in trans pride colors tied around her bicep.

More reposted #furry art from 2022. This #anthro I sold to dcdeer @ FA. I called her Rosie, and she's based off a red river hog.
