I noticed my follower growth on Twitch was only 0-1 per stream. Stresses me out. If i stream every day like this, next year I’ll be at 180 new followers. Which isn’t nothing, but i have no idea how to get my channel in front of new people.

I took a look at the top 20 hot posts on E621 today to see where they were sourced from. Mostly people are posting on X, or being found and reposted to E6 from X. FA gets the next most consistent promotion. Bsky ranked at 5, doing 35% of what X did.

I think the biggest indicator that I’m depressed right now is how existential I’ve been

I am not the monster that hurt me and my loved ones, but I am the fool who chose not to disarm them when I saw the warning signs. I chose not to protect myself and others. That lies on my shoulders. Without shame, or guilt, I'm still accountable for that.

Is there a way to understand that fascism might destroy everything we know and love without living in panic and fear? Because I feel like the biggest threat to me is my panic and fear.

New era incoming for the vtuber

I want your Baja Blast™

I know a spook in a rubber mask when I see it.

More progress from the Personal Power Hour. (Tracing and coloring a TwistedHound base)

Looking at my project references and I can hardly believe these are all for one design.

I need to print this out and stick it to my wall.

1 hour every morning, I add a little bit to this redesign. Surprised myself how far I get with it in so little time. I used a prefab from TwistHound to skip the sketch phase and cut straight to color choices and blocking for character and fashion design.

if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day

Nevermind, I tweaked the overlays a ton more! INTRO - MAIN - RETRO - BRB - END

Alright, I need your help. What's cooking, and what sucks?

Media diet: David Byrne is king. Same as it ever was.

Bit by bit...

Playing with a Twisthound prefab to try new ideas for my sona. Wish they had a rat head and more hair options.

If I had a nickel for every time I've drawn Bubsy thirst art this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice!

The problem with a walkable city is that you WILL be walking.

Disgusting selfie

Met royalty today

CLOWN TIME BITCH

I’m lucky that $6 also buys a Dick’s Deluxe.

Oh yeah, I’m in Seattle for a wedding!

Please take this survey it is very short. We need to let these companies know that we are strictly against the integration of this garbage into artistic spaces.

Starting a food diary 🧵

I should not have left this city. Might move to Chicago next year, but the pull to move back to Seattle is REAL.

Seattle is a cool city

Every summer is HOT RAT SUMMER!!!

Bro sex toys are WILD nowadays

I met a Cuttlefish. He was quite smol.

I need to play Final Fantasy 8

Who the fuck found me on Duck Duck Go???

Why am I a whore? Why can’t i take anything seriously?

Been in group therapy learning stoicism, CBT, and DBT... I have a skepticism for it. It's hard to let myself feel like distracting myself from pain and discomfort is valid. There's an anxiety, that I'm only teaching myself to dissociate, while everything else gets worse.

I was watching Therapist Reacts when:

I always thought the post modern take on Superman as an easily corruptible powerhouse was the most obvious and boring take on the character. Glad we’re moving past that.

Rendering latex! it was simple enough to put into an image

I have a new obsession

He’s so down bad

So I'm on a Hayao Miyazaki kick after watching a Guillermo del Toro Masterclass where he claimed Hayao Miyazaki hated this character design work in 'Future Boy Conan' so badly that he wanted to kill himself.

In a crowd of unique characters, there's still a fair amount of repetition, but it gets a tad more kaleidoscopic.

The way Sherlock hound used repetition in group character design is so pleasing.

Now Listening: Just found this. The father of bossa nova made this incredible psychedelic album of classical guitar solos.

Changing this account officially to just be a personal account for non algo/attention friendly posts. Rants. Art talk. Media recommendations.

The punks Vs. hippies rant is really tired to me. They’re the same people. It’s a false dichotomy that offends my lived experience of the artists that raised me.
