- “they don’t make artists like that anymore.” y’all don’t buy music like that anymore. that’s really where we need to start. and I’m going to keep saying it.

The pixel art in this hack is very cute ✨✨ @lotsaspaget.bsky.social You did a great job! Here, have a 👐🏾

🎶🎵 THE HORIZON LEANS FORWARD... OFFERING YOU SPACE TO PLACE NEW STEPS OF CHANGE🎵🎶

Being able to get lost in a hobby without having to worry about keeping a roof over my head and other adult responsibilities.

Happy birthday, Tyler. I miss you so much, brother. You got me, you got Greg. Let you live through our artistry. 💙👼

Feels like the whole world is crashing out rn... I just wanna draw man. I just wanna draw my little drawings and make enough money off of them to live a humble life and chat to the people who like my little drawings sometimes. Why is that so harddddddddd

Draw something badly with no intention of showing it to anyone. It's very freeing.

One of the most annoying aspects of being a tall, black and gay man is the idea that absolutely everyone I socialize with has the proclivity to MAKE ME APPROACH them in conversation, especially in terms of taking action to talk.

This culture is broken, it's not just a problem with our government. America has a sick culture. The vulnerable are really hated to the bone as common sentiment. All mad people know this & all poor people know this. The country refuses to interrogate its antiblackness whose cruelty has only morphed.

This final poster for my indie goes so hard 💜💙 Made by yours truly. #stellarsynthesizer #indie #furry #spekelsparks

Why choose? We can have both.

ICE is currently detaining black people in a district of Chicago— South Shore— that I USED TO LIVE IN. I'm at a loss of words. 😢

Lou's mini series involving mental health and therapy was beautiful. This short series just kinda shows that resolving past traumas and fears really does help you— even for famous actors and celebrities. #mentalhealth #trauma

- the world really needs more positivity.

My goodness these pixel art animations are beautiful. HBY does not disappoint!! ✨✨

I don't understand the concept of working yourself to death on a job that won't even give you a proper moment of silence if you do die, on the job. 😒

[🏺🍆 SUBCON 🥕🍅] 2015. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. This is the last of which I'll be doing of this series for quite a while. Inspired by the lush backdrops of Mario 2 for All-Stars, I decided to make a custom backdrop myself! #supermario2 #subcon #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

Ah, yes, September 25th... The same day this lad steps foot in Halloween Town for the first time. 🕸️🎃

@aj549.blacksky.app Ain't noooo way you showed up in one of my dreams last night!! With yo foine self ✨ lmao Hope this doesn't come off as gauche, but seriously, my dreams tend to be featuring folks I barely talk to 😅

[🛠️ FACTORY🛠️] 2017. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. It's hard to believe that it took nearly 8 years for me to become comfortable enough to use this custom-made background, despite it being inspired from Mario Party 9. 😂 #marioparty #bobomb #factory #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

[💎 CRYSTALS 💎] 2022. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. Such beautiful crystals!! These gems were inspired by a repeating background seen in Super Mario: All-Stars. What a challenge it was to animate them! 😓😤 #crystals #ice #supermarioallstars #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

Real talk, but Nintendo is crazy as hell for the marketing stunts and overpricing of their games they've been pulling for the past few years.

[🏰 FORTRESS 🏰] 2022. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. Your standard fortress background! I took some design cues from the fortresses seen in Mario 3D World, and translated those walls into 2D pixel art!! 😁👏 #fortress #supermarioallstars #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

ARTIUS: Pure Imagination SAGE 2025 DEMO is available NOW! 🎭 Swap between four unique artists with their own movesets! 🛝 Experience the Brilliant Club in it's full glory! 📷 Unleash the power of creativity! #gamedev #indiegame #SAGE2025

[⛰️ RAVINE ⛰️] 2022. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. Once again taking a lot of cues from the MegaMan X series for this background!! ... which is ironic, considering this background is featured in some MegaMan inspired levels 😄 #megaman #ravine #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

Am I starting yet ANOTHER playthrough of this game?! Why yes, yes I am!! 😁✨ #kingdomhearts #keyblade #roxas

[🍪 COOKIE MOUNTAIN 🍪] 2016-2024. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. With some assistance from the pixel artist, "Carbon", I was able to make a successful recreation of that one level from Mario 3D Land. Did they and I do pretty well? 😁 #cookies #food #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

[ 🧊SNOW FIELDS🧊 ] 2022. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. I felt inclined to re-work an old background that was using graphic assets from MegaMan 7 at the time 🌲🌲. The result is a beautiful winter wonderland, designed by yours truly. 😄 #winter #snow #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

[ ⛰️COVE⛰️ ] 2014. 14 ¼ x 13 ¼ in. Pixel Art. Once again, a background I designed while in high school! 😆 And I still love how it turned out. I took a lotta inspiration from Quartz Quadrant [Sonic CD] for this one. #cove #cavern #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

Yes, happy Sunday to all of ya!! 😊👏🏾

I've felt this very deeply, Werewolf. And I'm right there with you. 🫂 I really hope that you find more queer POC, like myself. It's time that you meet someone who would boldly accept you into your space, never make you an outlier, or a second option. 💙 Healing begins in making a change.

✨ Summer was a breeze. ✨ From a camping trip, To a day frolicking out in a wildflower field. 🌼🎍 I've done what I can to make this season great (except for swimming, but let's not talk about that 🤫.) Until next time~ 💙🙏🏾

Went to a live music performance yesterday to see the queen, @vesta1984.bsky.social perform at the ♦️ Café Mustache ♦️✨✨ It was a beautiful experience‼️

There is no perfect moment. No time when you will know enough to guarantee you will get what you want. No time when you'll be 100% sure, you're ready to fall in love, have a child, take a job, stand in your truth. And yet, still imperfectly informed, you'll still need to act. To own your unknown.

[ 🌴ISLANDS 🌴 ] 2014-2022. 8 ¼ x 8 in. Pixel Art. Hard to believe I originally designed this background when I was wee lad in high school! 😅🤣 Now I wanna go to the beach...anyone wanna tag along? 😎 #islands #ocean #summer #pixelart #supermario #stellarsynthesizer #background

"Hi" and other single-word openers are not good conversation starters and are a bit off-putting, actually. Full stop.
