Idk man have you ever gotten gift art of your oc and it's traced over one of those stolen stock base poses off pinterest? Feels like being handed the cheapest mass produced Grabbed An Hour Ago Bc I Forgot Your BDay piece of shit. (Thread)

I think I've just gotta give up on my discover feed on here. Bluesky can't separate political cartoons from other art and stops showing me art when I try to weed out the politics. Which then leaves me with pet photos and political textposts. It's just a continuous losing battle

I have, several times before, written out episodes of The Magnus Archives by hand. For a while I had MAG032:Hive memorized. This is a test sheet for a project that will hopefully leave me with something to frame on my wall

Why can silver plated jewelry still be labeled as "sterling silver" and who do I need to kick in the nuts to make "hypoallergenic" actually mean something? Buying earrings is still a gamble even if I only buy the more expensive "hypoallergenic" or "sterling silver" stuff

Anyone remember the name of a super influential artist that I would see all over Pinterest in the early 2010s? Her art featured some of the most beautiful blues and purples, she mostly did anime girls in watercolor or marker(?), her name started with M I think and she died from some terminal illness

wish people would stop inventing lies about assholes who I hate so I can complain about them without having to go "no actually they didn't do that" repeatedly.

Very essential part of being an artist is sitting down to create art for myself for once after several weeks of school art and then coming away from this session with frustration instead of satisfaction. If I created for me more often I would not get so frustrated but. Shrugs. Can't

Really been entertained recently that in spending time with a set group of meatspace folks they all think I talk funny. I described a visual texture as "the value looks right but it's... spongey" and someone went "that's a description"

i was trying to articulate this point and realized i had already written a thread on it. my mind

There's no way to set Instagram to only show me things from people I follow, right? They've just completely done away with that? It's one of the main reasons I left tbh. Between seeing more posts from strangers and the random non-chronological scroll, it's just an awful app to me

My Discover feed has never recovered from me liking pet photos. I always always always see 1) pet death announcements and 2) pet injury photos. I don't use the Discover feed unless I'm desperate and bored. And I'm always burned

The tragedy of this account is that I'm really fond of some of the art I've done for school but releasing it here would immediately dox me or reveal my face and that's just not a risk I'm willing to take in this day and age

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

Maybe I'm picky but I don't think a commercial about hiring someone else to do your taxes so you can instead ride a bike should be allowed to use Bicycle by Queen, a song about bi erasure

When the professor steps out of class it's time to doodle a silly little guy >:3 #art #cypressocs

Started listening to Mariya Takeuchi recently and I have to say she's very vibey. Very much enjoying myself. This album (Variety), however, contains four(?) versions of Plastic Love and the "club remix" is the only track I dislike so far. The rest of this is very good

Action Item: Become soil and/or ash Assigned To: Body Status: In Progress Deadline: TBA

It's important to me that you all know I did lick my salt lamp on several occasions and I've been phenomenally disappointed with how bland and unsalty it was. When it gets too humid it does get like a crust where precipitation gathers so I think it's salt but. It just tastes like rock tbh

Exit Music (For A Film) is genuinely a very pretty song but in the last several weeks that I've had OK Computer OKNOTOK on repeat, I've unfortunately learned that starcrossed lovers as a trope stopped interesting me a very long time ago. Too many YA novels in my youth has made it old

Everybody complaining about how this app is suddenly nonfunctioning and... I actually don't know what's going on. What did I miss. The app works the same as it did two weeks ago. Is there an update waiting for me

I am still glad I don't have Time Sink apps like Tumblr or tiktok on my phone but in times like these (woken up at 1am and I'm Up For Real) I sometimes wish I did have one

First time watching Farscape wish me luck 🙏 love that it's in 3:4 btw

In case you're all wondering what I'm up to these days: regretfully, not much sketcheswise. I'm rusty. Only way to fix that is to jump back in. #cypressocs #art

Petition to remove blocked accounts from my followers list please and thank you

Me watching Stargate SG1 season 9 episode 17: go, my scarab...

Me seeing my trans friends on Trans Day of Visibility

Thinking about the blaire witch project again. For no particular reason. I just am

i did not know they could hatch !

The universe herself is neutral. There's so many good things here. I like that I can write stories and that I have friends interested in reading them. I like that I can eat spicy foods, and chocolate, and fried potatoes. I like that I have access to coffee, a moment of meditation every morning

Hey there 👋🏻, it’s me, the new snack from Costco you loved. You will never see me again

The finished piece!

Well, chat. I feel pretty alone today. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I've removed Tumblr from my phone and don't have tiktok or insta but... I can't drive? I can't get my social fix the Correct way. So what's the point of giving up social media. I'm just alone for no reason now.

dried mango is the closest you can legally come to chewing on a man’s ear

Anybody got ideas for names for a middle aged feminine character who represents the biases and prejudices of the majority? I put myself in a weird corner where I didn't expect to give the character a name bc she exists to be referenced in backstory only and never directly by name. But she will now

I am currently working on the #art project of all time. As it is, this page contains 20,760 dots (twenty thousand, seven hundred and sixty). It will have several times that when I'm finished. Wish me luck 🙏

Whaddyakno, it is actually so much easier to style my hair if I protect it while I sleep. Who woulda guessed

Good news update: been stir frying my buldak with the fancy version of the frozen veggie cubes (they've been pre baked or grilled or something. Really nice char spots so they have flavor even if steamed) and adding a slice of medium cheddar on top. Would recommend.

oh hey Caramel by Sleep Token is by Sleep Token??? crazy how that works. i been listening to that and didn't know who these people were

so this question has come up in conversation recently: obviously, bluesky has features that allow you to disable interactions like replies and quote posts. but is doing so contrary to the spirit of social media? is it antisocial behavior? maybe even unethical? interested to hear everyone's thoughts

So... Three of my eight colors have gone dry since I sat down an hour and a half ago

Aqua Regia really makes me wish I'd kept up with playing piano

I wish I could politely remove people from my followers. Y'all ain't seeing my posts you followed me because I followed you and then you set my profile to ignore. I highly doubt the five british museums in there are watching me

I remember I tried to watch Your Lie In April once but as beautiful as it was there was a hopelessness to it that I couldn't quite sit through at the time. Everyone was either dying or had severe childhood trauma and there was like no light at the end of the tunnel. I should try again

Water 👍

Oh ho ho~

Discovered Sleep Token (finally, yeah I know I'm super late) and about ten repeats into Take Me Back To Eden I can say I am enamoured. Especially fond of Granite and Aqua Regia. Extremely fascinated with Vore, also

I'm not under the impression I have my AO3 crowd following me on here, but I'm gonna start a thread for updates on the progress of The Unraveling: Part Two

I wish I had the energy to do vent art. When other people do it it looks so cathartic. I haven't done vent art since I was in middle school

Opinion: the "epic" versions of the mandalorian and boba fett themes are souless in comparison. Logically I understand there's a formula in Western music theory that creates something "epic" and that it is not a synonym for awesome cool radical. But still

I do many things in my life out of spite. But in my defense, if I express an interest in something harmless and someone wastes their time telling me how wrong it is and then has the gall to be upset when my interest doubles, it might be on them for assuming I want to associate with naysayers
