WIP dungeon map I made in like 30 minutes in Inkarnate using the new style 😁👍

If you have no one to tell ya', I hope you are doing well or are on your way to it!

December is looking like a hiatus month for the mantis unfortunately, sorry cowpokes! I will be back though so don't fret! 🫡

I think one of the hardest parts about the process of healing is always struggling to disbelieve that you don't belong anywhere. Because it's very hard for me to not feel like an outcast sometimes, or when things come up, just feeling off. Maybe im just too traumatized and it takes time.

Random Mantoid thoughts 1: Try as best you can to know and understand yourself and you will, hopefully one day, find folks who will know and understand you too 🤠

They announced The Elder Scrolls 6 7 years ago

The Game Awards are only ever enjoyable nowadays when surrounded by friends who love video games and we all unabashedly call out any BS we see (and also express excitement for actually good game news/announcements)

Oh cool, Concord 2

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Been an eventful mental health journey for a couple of weeks, but my favorite coping mechanism still hits just as good after all these years... Heavily modded Skyrim I adore you 😌

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

this is… excuse me… a damn fine out of touch thursday

You'll probably never get an accurate representation of how most people feel about your specific fandom because the amount of people who engage with something is so much larger than the amount who discuss it in any meaningful capacity. This effect gets more prominent the larger your fandom 😅

Holiday season and unpacking a ton of stuff in therapy is really kickin' my ass ngl 😓 but we press on

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

Turn on the TV. Doesn’t matter what channel.

i really like drawing the regis

Shout out to my lovely fiancé for my new favorite hat! 😁

We need to make more games where we kill nazis. I think so much of this timeline got exacerbated by those dipshits whining about that one Wolfenstein game coming out during gamergate era. "WAH WAH THEY MADE NAZIS THE BAD GUYS" no shit, who are they offending, the nazis?

The grifting and rage baiting around video games these days is actually just depressing. It genuinely seems like a game can't release these days without weirdo controversy merchants baying for blood.

How do I even explain what I do in my free time to strangers

High defense means more protection

I love the quiet vibe of late nights. Shout out to you if you're still up 😁

You can tell the internet is mostly poisoned by everyone trying to act like Nostalgia Critic because the movie Bullet Train has a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes.

My YouTube music recap for the year 👀 some of my other favorite songs that I found this year surprisingly didn't make the list but overall it feels pretty accurate 🤔

The Outer Worlds 2 is waaaay underrated imho 🤔 It's one of the few RPGs I've really enjoyed this deeply in a while and is actually making me hopeful that they go for a 3rd 👀

I want somebody who's 'bad at art' to just pour their whole heart into making fanart of me I'll adore it. I'll cherish it. Because it was YOUR art. YOUR passion. YOUR hand that made it. That means the world to me. Make art of your favourite vtuber. I promise it'll make them smile. 💛✨

Your Italiano Wrapped is ready! You ate Gabagool 47 times this year! You are a true paisan!

How does one develop a passion for just one thing? 👀

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

My first year of streaming has honestly helped me learn so much-! 🤠 What these numbers and stats don't really show is how much I feel less afraid to open up and be myself. I think that's the thing I'm most grateful to streaming for. Here's to next year with more Mantis~! #twitchrecap #twitch

Much obliged to all the cowpokes that popped in! Chill stream with no real goal but was fun! VOD is up if you missed it and, as always, happy trails! 🤠

The mantis is back~! We're doing some mapmaking in Inkarnate today and I'll be talking with YOU about anything on your mind. Chill short stream kinda vibes so pop into the saloon and hang out with us~! LIVE NOW~! www.twitch.tv/silliestmantis #goinglive #live #vtuber #vtuberEN #mapmaking #inkarnate

Working on setting up something big for the streams cowpokes, apologies for being away a while 😅 it'll be worth it though, I promise!

SCHEDULE TIME! This week we say farewell to SC's expo just in time for The Caspian to arrive in elite! Also keep an eye on this space for special news about Friday! But tonight? Kamen Rider night in Discord. More AGITO!!! #Vtuber

I am so close to 350 Followers on Twitch woooooo!!! I was really hoping we would get to 400 or 500 followers by the end of the year but getting sick multiple times this year prevented that from happening :( 400 is still in reach if i believe for our 2025 goal 🫡💜 www.twitch.tv/tenkoberry/c...

Any vtubers have any experience with a dual PC streaming setup? Any do's or don'ts for me to consider? 🤔

people really do call any work of fiction that's even moderately popular online "reddit" now as a pejorative, it's crazy. just saying shit to say shit. why are you so afraid to be perceived as corny for liking something other people like

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

EVERYONE is hurt by censorship If you didn't join before, join now If you stopped calling, start again We cannot leave them alone until they STOP THIS anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

I see AI slop in anything, I instantly disregard the whole thing. It's like finding a slug in your salad. If you can't write without an LLM, or you can't source art that isn't genAI, you can't be trusted to do anything. Sorry. Absolute deal-breaker.
