Happy 4th of July, y’all! This here is bear country, so move aside, eagles, for the true mascot of the U.S. Don’t forget to be safe when lighting fireworks tonight. Only you can prevent forest fires!

Inspiration hit for the most me-coded, America-celebrating, 4th of July art you can imagine. Now to crank it out before tomorrow!!

Gonna get stuff setup for art fight today. Yes, I’m brawling.

Blood, sweat, and tears got me here. Art by the ever wonderful @eyespotstudio.com

Alright. Time to salvage this Holiday weekend. My boss, who has become one of my best friends, has come in clutch to invite me over to spend the 4th with him and his family. He is ecstatic he has someone to do fireworks with now. He was going to ask me before he found out I was going to Pittsburgh.

Have to get tires replaced because they’re worn thin… and the bill is too much to responsibly do AC, too. I’m sorry, y’all.

Being an adult is just coming to terms that you’re always a let-down or not ever enough, isn’t it? Why bother.

Anyone else use their sona name/nickname when you place orders for pickup?

Just a quick PSA… You’ll likely see more artistic nudity around here. Whether it’s stuff in the vein of the greats of the renaissance or practice from my own artistic endeavours, if you don’t like either, or are underage, leave. You can ascribe motives or what not to me. I don’t care. 1/3

Who all is bringing their Switch/Switch 2 to AC? I wanna see if we can do some spontaneous gaming session groups. Heck, if we can have a local series of Splatoon 3 battles, with 8 players, that’d be freaking awesome! If you want my friend code, just say so below.

Am bored. Ask me anything… if you dare.

Good morning! Feeling really good this morning for once. Art by lezerd on X.

Anyone else have that one family member who is an expert of never being in the wrong and somehow is also the centre of the universe? Must suck to be so perfect around so many plebes.

Top 10 species tier list: 1. Bears 2. Otters 3. Wolves 4. Tigers 5. Kangaroos 6. Foxes 7. Badgers 8. Horses 9. Bulls 10. Lions Plus an honorary, left field addition… FROGS!!!

Summer time means water time. Who needs a water gun when you can just cause a tidal wave with a splash or flex? Gift art from last summer by the sweet @tanmuxdragon.bsky.social

Not usually one to do this, but it’s public, and I’d do the same for any of my friends if I see their sonas stolen. @atctenebruse.bsky.social Dude, your profile pic is stolen from me and my intellectual property. Delete it or replace it with a pic of your own OC. This is not the way. Do better.

Hmmm… big bull Tide…

No one can handled full, unfiltered Tide. Anytime I try to share more with someone, I either scare them off or they don't know how to handle me. LOL... LMAO even.

Every time I see new art from one of my friends on here, it makes so freaking happy and proud of them! Keep at it, y'all!

On Cloud 9? Nah, just be bigger than the clouds because you're so dang excited. Can't get that big? Pfft, skill issue! Art by @ginkko.bsky.social

My badge for AC is slowly getting finished. Who will I see at AC?

Good morning! Putting this out there again since it’s the morning and everything. Lol

Any homies in the Carolinas, Georgia, or Tennessee wanna carpool with me to AC and split costs? Looking at renting a Mitsubishi, leaving early on Thursday morning, and coming back Sunday afternoon. I’m happy to drive as long as you provide playlists full of Splatoon music.

A pretty significant update from me! But, if you want the TLDR bullet points: 1. Twitch streams end on August 8th with a marathon. 2. My server, the Guild, is not going anywhere! 3. I will stream art, games, etc. through the server… But there will be no production value…

So… after waiting for an hour for the agent and being accosted by some belligerent Travelers in that time, he decided to just throw on another $200. I’m so humbled and thankful, y’all. This sets my budget back to what it was before the unexpected and horrid $600 license plate bill this past week.

I have been offered $500 to wait an extra 7 hours for the next flight home… hmm…

Sorry for the silence. Been a crazy, whirlwind week, but not in a bad way for once. Saw one of my favourite people in person, and it made me reconsider some of my goals and priorities in life. When I get back this afternoon, after I crash and take a nap, I’m figuring out some changes…

I did a thing. If we’re friends/solid moots, and you’re also on here and lift, let me know or send a request. I’ll be posting pics for lifting accountability, so this isn’t open to all. I’m taking my training up a few notches and I need folks whom are serious to rally with.

Well… damn… that moment you’ve paid a decent looking artist… and then they finally send you a sketch of this perfect idea you had, but something doesn’t smell right. So you look closer and you realise it’s traced… Fuck. And then they give the song and dance that they’ve been caught when asked…

I added some new things to Throne in light of today’s Direct. This collection in particular is what I am most excited for. If you happen to purchase any of the games, I would be delighted for you to autograph it at some point, whether at AC or we meet up sometime! throne.com/tidebender/c...

For the record, this isn’t me saying I don’t want to, or I’ll never get art with friends. This is me expressing my frustrations with those who just want to use me for their selfish ends. I want to get art with the folks I care about as tokens of our mutual care and friendship. That’s all. 💗

The positive to not being asked to get art with folks who are “friends” is that I don’t have to have a piece be bittersweet looking back on it when they either show their true colours and stab me, or they get what they wanted and leave for greener pastures. Yeah… Trying to keep it in perspective.

I AM TRYING TO TRUST THE PROCESS??? WHILE ALSO FIGURING OUT WHAT THE HECK IT IS!!!

Gonna be arting tonight while working on my ~~FWA badge turned into my~~ AC badge. Professor Layton music and chill vibes will be had. If you dare... Ask me about the Bloodred Threader. I might lore 'tism if so... So fair warning! twitch.tv/tidebender

For those who play Zenless Zone Zero, haven’t played it in a while, or are new… if you use my invitation link for the buildup for 3.0, you get free ingame rewards like Polychromes. And I’ve got a guild for furry folks to share missions. Invitation code: GUR6HUKX2K hoyo.link/E0T2fpjgC?s_...

Counting down the days to AnthroCon! Who is gonna be there? I wanna meet up and give you a bear hug! Let me know below, or through DMs. I’m making a list, and I’m checking it twice! >:3 Also, if you’re in the Carolinas and wanna carpool, I’m open to it! Art by thebigpicpaint

Y'all, don't forget social media wants you to get angry. Don't listen to the randos whom show up out of the blue to scream at you for you being you. I don't have time to deal with pricks or chronically rude people. But yeah, haters are going to hate... Don't let it get to you. Be like a goldfish.

Love forgetting to post the graphic for this week’s streams before leaving for work. I wonder if I have less than one brain cell. But, Thursday evening I will be streaming Mario Kart World in honour of the first anniversary of it and the Switch 2. Friends welcome to join, too!

Kinda proud how this is coming along. Small improvements and a massive work in progress. lol Yes, wolf-Tide is a thing… Hmm… maybe Full-moon Tide? Thanks for coming and hanging on stream this evening, y’all! It’s always a joy to talk with you! Lets do more art this week, yeah?

Pssst! Gonna draw and stream some beef tonight. I’ll start at 7p EST! But first, I’m going to take a nap and then do some cleaning/reorganising. See ya soon!

This was shortly after I realised I could get bigger than a few houses shortly after I first realised what I could do with my new power. Thankfully, living in the Wyldlands, there’s plenty of space to lay down without hurting anyone… and space to grow even bigger. Art by @lemonysol.bsky.social

It’s been a rough week. But I want to say thanks to the friends and folks whom have reached out in DMs or hung out on stream. I am having “allergies” at the thought of how much y’all mean to me. Thank you for reminding me of what is actually true and good! You guys are my heroes.

Today was a good day. :)

You wanted to hear my origin, eh? Hmmm… I used to be a skinny little runt… *rubs chin thoughtfully* I was still a librarian mind you. I’ve always loved books… *chuckles* So one day, I stumbled upon this old, old book.

Heya, folks, both new and old! Who wants to hear my origin?
