Saw @famimatsu.bsky.social's version of this and thought it'd be fun to make my own iceberg for The Butterfly Project! I never get to gush about the deeper parts of the story enough, I always feel they're too "spoilery," but through trends I am UNCHAINED

Alex, Summer, and Raymond have very short fuses when it comes to any sort of stereotyping, racism, and general otherism. Summer tends to simply oppose the validity of the claim/action while Alex and Ray go for the proverbial jugular of the offending party. Alex can even get pretty physical about it.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Oh so many, but here are a few of them: - When eating Raspberries/Blackberries, Riel likes to break off the drupelets to eat individually. - Skyler has a different dice set for each type of roll when playing TTRPGs. - Ryka likes to put on voices, accents, and/or imitations to make jokes.

Wish I could internalize this

Quote this and introduce your favorite OC, and share the OC love 💖 I'm terrible with picking single favorites but I certainly have some top picks! Rue, Elise, Callum, Skyler, Jasper, and Merah! (Rue, Elise, and Skyler art: @thejessofmess.bsky.social, Callum art: @friendlyfangs.bsky.social)

Hey #furry #artists, it’s time to leave. Like now is the time to break off hard. This is surprisingly real. Usually it’s hard to tell if it’s hyperbole, but this is not. And if Twitter fucks up? Max $100 payout to you. Safe link to TOS: archive.is/Ky7gY Only way out is to deactivate the account.

If you are still on X/Twitter in any capacity as an artist, get off there right freaking now.

Helloooooo new hyperfixation!

It is once again balloon day

It's always a crazy feeling to step back and think "this thing I made did not exist before. I have pulled a thought from the creative aether and through sigils and spellcraft (art and words) I have conjured something that exists, that is real, that is tangible." Creativity is real world magic

The following thread is a work of fiction. It was originally published on Twitter/X in July of 2021. In 2022, it was one of the finalists for a Hugo award in the "Best Short Story" category. The story is image-based; alt-text for each image is provided.

SILKSONG TWO WEEKS SILKSONG IS IN TWO WEEKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Nowadays I keep a store of them in my notes (same goes for places/objects/etc) As to how I supply those stores, my day to day life provides a steady supply, usually with my ADHD absentmindedly smashing syllables together. The only change is I write'em down instead of letting them go into the ether.

"Creature" is such a good term. It's gender neutral, it rejects humanity, it implies danger or anomaly, and it's valid for any species. Shoutouts to all my creature friends

I've got a mix of loremaster, factory, and worldbuilder And I guess like Anti-designer

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

It's done I won gambling

Newest direct was absolutely wild

Become an idiot online for your own protection. They don’t need to know you know things. What the hell is a politics, im a cat. Meow

also i'm always like i want to yell about my lil guys with other people who are equally invested in them but it's just me out here man

PSA: 1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly 2. If you are silly, you must stay silly 2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

(visibly shaking) i like my OC a normal amount

I've let myself succumb to the siren song of Balatro Woe be my free time (and time that ought not be free)

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

it is legitimately a good piece of creative advice to be like "be as unabashedly into your own shit as hideo kojima is"

Forgot to say Happy holidays, internet people

too many people see video games as products and not as culture everyone would appreciate games more if they followed who is creating them instead of only following IPs real life “lore” is infinitely more interesting than fictional lore and it also helps you better understand the fictional lore too

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

Write generously for an audience who loves your work, not defensively for an audience who hates it

Just saw a comment on YouTube about treating your Backlog as more of a wine cellar. Add things you want and then peruse it for a game to suit your mood. And I suddenly feel so much better 😅

Let the baloons flow! Let cake batter fill the streets, drowning the masses with festivities! Let gifts fall from on high, gracing the world with their magnificent splendor! (It is my birthday)

I've been seeing a lot of pixel artists struggle with Bluesky's image compression, so I'd thought I'd share how to get clear, crisp pixels on the site! Share to help a fellow pixel-artist! #pixelart #tutorial

replies felt weirdly discouraged on twitter (at least to me) but I really recommend getting back into the habit of telling artists directly when you like their stuff. not even in an engagement farming way, it just feels nice. nobody's day is going to be worse hearing that you like their work

It's disappointing that this even needs to be said, but yes My little corner of the internet if a safe space for those seeking shelter

400 hours 637 achievements At long last IT IS DONE!

I went ahead and did that art emotion quiz. Not entirely accurate, but not inaccurate either. Standard online quiz affair. I believe I create for the sake of expression. Which yes, is sometimes love. But I also express sadness, regret, acceptance, longing. I express MYSELF. uquiz.com/quiz/p0u5c3/...

This is always happening in the background for me btw I just have next to no media of my own to accompany it It would just be yapping about characters most people would have no context for So I shall yap internally

note that you have to change this (settings > languages) on *both* mobile and web separately, too. seems important to spread the word for ppl who follow international artists!

docs.google.com/document/d/1... docs.google.com/document/d/1... docs.google.com/document/d/1... To start, have a sneak peek at ch.2 of The Butterfly Project! It's a novel about a child lycanthrope trying to survive while hiding her nature from the world. I would be delighted if you gave it a read!

Hello BlueSky! I arrive from the dreaded bird's domain with hopes of a brighter future! ...And to follow all the artists that are migrating. REGARDLESS FREEDOM IS NOW MINE
