who wants to assign fursonas to the entire 2025 mariners roster with me

do not take adderall at night. i stayed up searching for info on mlb and nfl mascots

looking at every sports team mascot that is a horse and thinking of ways to turn them into an umamusume

the M's had a good run but their loss has let me down. you know what time it is

feeling like the guy at the mariners clubhouse who screamed while bryan woo was being interviewed

baseball has broken my heart one time too many. only deathmatch wrestling can soothe me

reluctantly i must be a jays fan because i would never, ever, ever, ever be a dodgers fan

Well fuck me i guess

figuring out the Mariners lettering is gonna be a nightmare but i'm doing it for the love of the game

🔱 🔱 🔱 🔱 🔱 🔱 🔱 🔱 🔱

is it possible to get jaguars fans into wrestling? all sources say Fuck Yes

still thinking about the implications of all horse-themed branding in the world of umamusume. the broncos there would have a horsegirl logo

to me, “you should create for yourself” and “you deserve to be acknowledged for what you make” are two statements that should coexist. chasing engagement will rot your soul, while being neglected will see your passion wither. loving what you make is a failsafe for when the engagement never comes.

3-3 tie is nuts and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't nervous lol. whatever happens, the mariners are now solidly my favorite AL team. and frankly they complement my favorite NL team. gotta have those tf2 colors

Thanks to Alex Rubenstein and, of course, @jonbois.bsky.social for talking to me about making what not only remains the essential portrait of the team, the city, the state, & the country half a decade later, but most certainly will for many more decades to come 📽️ www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

here i was hoping we'd get a mariners/brewers world series. brewers you gotta step up next season

me when the medications i take for my mental health + executive function issues work: wow i am so full of love and art and i need to do something. possibly everything

the greatest thing i've done was give medic a beauty mark on one of his boobs

wrestledream thoughts: - kris/toni should've gone longer, the submission hold was the best part of the match - heel joe..... i used to pray for times like this

happy 40th anniversary of re-animator's release for those who celebrate

pushing back against AI by not changing the way I work at all and refusing to cede any ground to it

just realized that i watched frankenhooker the night before the 40th anniversary of re-animator's release. everything's coming up Mika

ALL RIGHT, I DID IT. here's one more lil gofundme to help me buy a car so I won't have to bike to work through snow and ice this winter. please toss a coin and/or share the link if you can! and thank you so much for all the help last time! gofund.me/4a74f8cbe

just finished watching Frankenhooker. certified Mika Movie if i've ever seen one

the dodgers sweeping the brewers is yet more proof of the existence of the devil

watching freddy vs jason through a wrestling angle lens makes it way more fun for me. one big video package building up to a crazy match live on pay-per-view

the mariners just hit a ball over the fence. i'd imagine they have a backup baseball on hand for such occasions

I've been watching a lot of overconsumption coverage from people and one thing I keep seeing reiterated is a very familiar shift from shopping as a hobby to finding a hobby. My tip, as someone who is somewhat familiar with this transition, is finding joy in limiting yourself.

Messing around with the new brushes in Procreate.

Commission me to draw cool and neat pictures for you. I’m open for contract work as well.

everything old is new again, etc etc. i should consider buying acetate sheets in the future if i'm gonna work on canvas-- this is such a neat method for planning your color compositions

this james gurney blog post from 2014 focuses on how carter did his preliminary work and it is incredibly fascinating to me, as preliminary studies always are. i have a lot to learn from them gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2014/06/prue...
