Reminder that if you're trans like me every day you're alive is a protest. If I keep making art that's a protest. My body and heart are broken many times over; I'm not gonna beat myself up about what extra I "could be doing" beyond the help I already give to others. Cis/abled folks can step tf up.

I finally got a job interview after about 1.5 years of desperately looking for a new job. I'm anxious - I was one of the first few interviews of many they wanted to do, but interviews always stress the living hell out of me. Wish me luck y'all - it'd be for more money than I've ever made at a job 🧡

Reminder for those not paying attention: Being anti-genAI means EVERY form of genAI media, not just visual media Pictures, videos, voices, songs, ALL OF IT!!! Please consume your media critically!!! Look at who is making it before sharing it blindly!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit - way too much shit irl lately Wish me luck tho cause hopefully tomorrow I get my first ever restraining order against my fucking roomie of all people friggin' hell man, I just wanna get out of here. Also thanku all for nearly 600 follows wth? Y'all are epic!😘🧡🧡🐙

Been busy with getting packed up and ready to move again, this time potentially even having to figure it out without a car, but y'all lookit! :3 I'm gonna put it on my 'puter, the one with all my silly gay friends inside it 🥰🧡🐙 Hiatus should be over after this move gets all settled

Just wanted to officially announce this #hiatus - I'll still be silently focusing on any active art commissions, while I try really hard not to staple this eviction notice to one of my roomie's forehead after what he pulled. Luckily my other roomie's workin' on securing our next place right now.

If a disabled person asks for help, don’t tell them to “try harder”. Asking for help is one of the most difficult things for us, and I assure you we tried absolutely everything before we did it. Ableism makes you think we can “fix ourselves”. It’s not true. You can’t try harder out of disability

no matter what

If you think an autistic person is "dense" because they asked you clarifying questions, I hate to break it to you, but they needed to ask follow up questions because you didn't explain yourself well enough. Not because they have comprehension issues. Hope that helps 🙃

As #artists, we know better than anyone that there's a fine nuance between ACTUAL human imperfection/quirks and mechanical imperfection & that will always be a factor at play, fighting the AI slop cultural phenomenon. AI killed my imposter syndrome - I know I'm better than it in every way😏 #artdump

I’ll never forget one of my thesis supervisors going “YOU CANT JUST FOCUS ON IMPROVING FASTER, ITS GONNA TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES” Been going bonkers about making stuff faster & this man’s words are alone in the noggin’ fighting the demons.

I know I haven't posted in a minute - I'm taking the rest of this week off streaming to get some further stuff setup on VGen still, opening up emergency comms, so for now I'mma pin my #Ko-Fi #commissions page (thank you all for your support) Also how about an art dump? 🐙🧡 ko-fi.com/aaylatheocto...

The reward of content creation, streaming, making art is never money. That keeps you alive. It’s having real flesh and blood humans thank you for your work It makes like worth living, it gives the world colour when you feel like you can add some yourself and have people see it

My #VGen page is all setup! I'm ready to take #commissions for 2D & 3D work #VGenComm and I'll stream my work on #Twitch Check out my page here vgen.co/aayla and feel free to give feedback ;w; commissions always stressed me out in the past, but I really think I'm ready 🧡🏳️‍⚧️

A very common experience for Autistic People ... especially with RFK Jr. Supporters.

As a vtuber, you tend to have way better experiences with artists when you treat them like human beings, step up to either take emergency com slots or share emergency com announcements as much as you can, give them all the flexibility on deadlines, tip, and credit them every time you use their work!

damn, as a #3D artist, it's been a while since I've done some #2D #sketches gotta shake the rust off in the bit of free time I do get ;w; (this is gonna be for a friend)

With everything these last few weeks, I've been needing an extended break from #streaming But y'all, I got my #VGen page started and with time I'll add to it! Check it out :3 🐙🧡🏳️‍⚧️ #Commissions have always stressed me out, but I think I'm ready now vgen.co/aayla (comm pricings & more coming soon...)

FYI a few years back I made a higher-resolution #Ariral #3Dmodel from #VoicesOfTheVoid - if you haven't heard of the game play it, it's so cool - also you can freely download and use the model from my #Gumroad: aayla.gumroad.com/l/ariral 🧡🐙 #votv #fanart #Blender #B3D

This is a petition to grant asylum in Australia to LGBTQ+ nationals of the United States. I'm queer and trans, so I made sure to scrutinise it more strictly than I would have if it concerned a group I wasn't in. Having done that: if you are Australian, you need to sign this petition.

While I acknowledge streaming may not be "hard" work, per say, other streamers I think can attest, it can sometimes be hard to be "on" all the time so frequently - I'll return to streaming my #3D #art on #Twitch tonight @ 7:30 pm ET 🧡🐙 I'll talk on why mental health breaks are so important too 💜

for no specific reasons im sure repost

So uh... something kinda unexpected popped up the other day and I've kinda been taking the week off from streaming but I will do my best to return next week - I'll tell everyone more about what's going on with me during the next stream see ya's all like... idk, probably Monday?

🩵🤍🩷Happy #Trans Day of Visibility!🩷🤍🩵 Especially now in the U.S. I as a trans woman advocate for being proudly & fearlessly visible every day, now Every #TdoV we should use to serve as a reminder to support and care for the trans people in your life - we need it now more than ever before 💜🤍🩶🖤

I usually stream my #3DModel work, but when I DO stream games like #REPO with friends, I think this is a pretty good clip to describe pretty much any of my game streams in a nutshell (｡☉౪ ⊙｡) 👽🫳🐙🎮🫠

Wow, thanks all for over 300 follows here too now O.o I need to get better about posting on here more frequently If you haven't already, follow my #Twitch too - that's where I'm kinda crowd-funding 3D model giveaways and all you gotta do to be eligible for one is follow my Twitch channel 🧡😁

Aro&Ace VTuber #Starterpack Aro = Aromantic Ace = Asexual Both are spectrums. You are welcome wherever in the spectrum you are. And you don't need to be in both. I am greyasexual and bi e.g. Let me know if you want to be added💙 go.bsky.app/VY5Dcof [ #vsky #lgbtqia+ #ace #aro #queer #vtuber ]

I'm doing a #3DModel #giveaway on my Twitch - pile in gamers!! [follower's only] 🧡🐙 www.twitch.tv/aaylatheocto...

#3DModel #Giveaway winner will be announced tonight! I'll announce the winner on my ⬆️⬆️ #Twitch ⬆️⬆️ stream tonight starting in 2 hours from now - please allow 30 - 60 minutes for everyone to filter in and join the stream. You will only be considered if you're following my Twitch channel! Good luck 🧡🐙⚧️

I'm gonna take a break from streaming tonight - my mental health & sleep schedule definitely need a bit of a break and a moment to reset, but I'll be live on Twitch TOMORROW (Friday) to announce the next #3DModel #giveaway winner - you need to follow me on Twitch and be there to be elligible... 🧵1/2

thanku all for 300 on twitch - y'all are awesome ;w; 🐙🧡 🩷🤍🩵🏳️‍⚧️

Go help out these trans & non binary businesses! (Reposts appreciated on this 💙) go.bsky.app/6DkNbH7

Been workin' on a #Vtuber #3DModel for a cool friend named @vexrawr.bsky.social you should check 'em out 🧡🐙🏳️‍⚧️ Geometry & Texturing are pretty much finished & now I just gotta make the facial #animation & then it's exporting it off #Unity3D work 😁 #Blender #3D #B3D

No stream today so here, have some cursed shit from #REPO #gaming ლ(•ω •ლ) Also we hit the stream rent goal this month (thanku so much y'all 😭🧡) so I'll be making another post later today announcing the next #3DModel #giveaway Still working on Vex's atm but it's nearing completion 😁

YES! It's trashy to JUST join someone's online community JUST to attempt to solicit commissions. I predict with this AI shit we will start to see more of an internet culture evolution of weird like "judging the personality & behavior patterns of a profile" to gauge "are you an AI?" Gawd dude fml 😔

200 mark already? thanku all so much 🧡🥰😭 I'm still trying to get the hang of this Bluesky thing, I'll probably post gumroad notifs & finished & in-progress creative projects and moments I've had gaming here but I stream a lot on Twitch - tomorrow's Xenoblade day with the bestie 🧡😄 Links in bio 💞

Ah my beloved Bridget stickers that got me many death threats <3 Anyway she still rules🏳️‍⚧️ #LovelessKia #Bridget #GGST #GuiltyGear #Transpride

I am planning to make a starter pack for VTubers with autism because I saw that no one has made one yet! So if you a VTuber who has autism feel free to ask in replies to be put in. Please if you can repost this so it can get to more people! TYSM!!! :D #VTuber | #Autism | #VTuberuprising | #ASD

What really bugs me as a #3Dartist as someone who makes whole character models from scratch to being animation-ready is the frequency of work I can put out feels so much less compared to if I was doing drawings, illustrations or otherwise art in the form of #2Dart. Image unrelated

The state of AAA gaming right now.

Apologies for a while without posting - been busy with returning to streaming. PLEASE check out @vexrawr.bsky.social they're so cool and they made this adorable sticker/emote for my channel, their art style is so precious and they DO take commissions! 😁 I'll be opening up my own soon as well 🏳️‍⚧️🐙🧡
