Absolutely unrelated but I'm aiming to have the art I'm working on finished on Monday, and hopefully my blog and a couple of posts launched and queued by the end of the week. There will be more information on what will be on my blog then. Plus, I'm chipping away at my interactive fiction piece.

I can't afford Silent Hill f yet but I'll budget for it before Halloween, probably. It'll take a lot more for Konami to earn my trust back but hopefully they learn from this that people want imaginatively crafted horror narratives. I'm basically hearing "it's good," and I'm avoiding all else.

Not necessarily what I'm proudest of but I can't keep posting the same piece! More incoming, too. Been getting back into my groove.

Designed some brushes to specifically dither with (nothing groundbreaking, just standard shapes) and I forgot how much I enjoy this stage, where everything comes together. Really liking the mix of textures on the skin/hair, too. I need to post more art with more tags. #pixelart #wip #pixelartist

Been trying out a new way to shade hair with a bit more depth/shadow/breaking up of lines and I think I'm happy with it :)

y'all not talking about this found evidence because it doesn't fit your leftist narrative

Even if you don't like Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jnr is just, so fucking note-perfect great. youtu.be/VY5GfbDHW4U?...

You step back and look in either direction. In truth, it's all much of a muchness. Pale grey and beige and creamy white plastic, at once thick and brittle, and overhead, wiring that will one day be light. The walls are cold and damp and the room feels chilly, and you feel lonely, standing there.

What do they say? They talk about their lives. To have lived is not enough for them. They have to talk about it. (From Samuel Beckett's, "Waiting for Godot") #Sculpture Igor Mitoraj

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

RIP to Claudia Cardinale, seen here with Werner Herzog on their way to the premier of Fitzcarraldo

So I heard good things about Withering Rooms and I also heard people say it was, alternatively, like Bloodborne or, like Rule of Rose and I just want to say it is like neither of those things unless we're stripping those back to "Gothic setting and nothing else". This is not a bad thing, btw.

I turned 31 today. I feel completely disconnected from that age because chronic illness is different. All the things people say your body starts doing -hurting, becoming uncontrollable, becoming uncomfortable, breaking down-, my body has been doing for 20 years. To say nothing of mental illness.

The other important thing to remember is that awful woman has gotten several people killed, and ruined countless people’s lives, and harmed so many children. Every mention of her should include that truth.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

Unrelated but ignore my current pinned message I'm in the process of updating everything and Starting A Blog.

I've been loud today, can you tell I'm unwell in bed with very little energy? It's going to be a quiet evening I think.

Absolutely unrelated. Video games that deal with chronic illness, especially the terminal kind, especially those that centre the sick. I need suggestions: I have Mass Effect 2, Baldurs Gate 3 and to a lesser extent, Silent Hill 2 and Pathologic and I'm not touching That Dragon, Cancer.

I need to get into the habit of using hashtags here. Might repost some old art with new hashtags so I can set up a feed for people to follow. Another thing on my to do list. I'll

These are all my pre nap thoughts. I need a nap and then I need to write.

The older I get the more wary of writing framed by tropes and inherently defined by it's marketability I become. What is your "platonic sff queer romance," book about? Because there's a genre and some attributes but it tells me nothing about characters, setting, prose, length, format, etc.

Any online indie eBook storefronts that specialise in horror, sci fi, fantasy, and speculative fiction AND have a queer/bipoc/disabled author bias? I'm looking for my next obsession after Undertow and Valencourt (both of whom I still love and support wholeheartedly) in my move away from Amazon.

again, it is an especially great time to support & buy books from the wonderful team at @loyaltybooks.bsky.social: loyaltybookstores.com

This. I am *so* tired of able bodied, neurotypical people treating my existence like a scare chord because they "wouldn't want to be disabled and or autistic," and so on.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

I just think it would be really nice if people boycotting Disney would approach it like here's an extra $12-$15 for indie creators as opposed to "here's an extra $12-15 for qfc snacks" you know

So I'm watching Criminal Minds and something I didn't appreciate but, Garcia is a fat lady who is desired and desirable and it's so. Refreshing? She was always a crush of mine as a kid and it's just something that's nice

Happy #TransDayofVisibility friends! 🥹🏳️‍⚧️💙

judging by the way these things actually work in public setting it's gonna be telling everyone it robbed Jack Kirby

Hey, killer:

doing another bump up on this, external events have left me ... still dragging myself through broken glass.

One of my favourite pixel artists has a patreon that's an absolute steal and you should absolutely check it out

like I just think it would be really great if people supported not JUST libraries as an alternative--they are a fantastic one--but ALSO took that $12 and put it towards an indie creator (or multiple. that's 12 $1 patreons you could support). we are desperate haha. you can make a huge difference

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

Honestly, you'll hear it a lot but if I got a single dollar from every follower ($500) that would make a huge impact on my life. Not enough to do MUCH, but any financial buffer is better than nothing. Support as many people as you can with $1.

I never, ever hear about Forgiato Blow unless he's releasing some new offensively bad song and I feel like if we all just ignored him he'd run out of steam. Like obviously call him a racist etc but the ONLY time he makes the news is when he's done something provocative.

I have been experimenting with dithering. Very exciting.

Thinking cat

Was trying to find the one Exo song I liked from a couple of years ago and uh. YouTube auto-generated captions just really went wild on this.
