DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

hmm...

Fun fact: I don't have a gallbladder! I had it removed at 14 after contracting gallstones :D The nurses told me that gallstones are supposed to only occur in middle-aged people with high cholesterol and/or drinking problems, but I fit none of those categories. Somehow, I wasn't the youngest person they'd seen with the condition. They'd had an 11-year-old with it once, which is just bonkers.

I spent a week in the hospital. With gallstones, they remove the gallbladder to prevent getting it again (they are indescribably painful), so I had surgery, and I now have four little scars on my stomach. Also, the hospital refused to organise the flight back home, so my mum and I had to race to catch the next Rex flight to my hometown. Oh, and they didn't actually transfer me so I had to go through triage again after returning home. That was fun /s

That was also the first time I'd been under anaesthetic. It was really weird.

Pings (no pressure btw. I just wanna keep this going): @qibsichan @hannyatiger

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

My girlfriend had a comic idea and I just HAD to translate and draw it

I'm a bit worried about the CoS redesign polls...

They're going to be redesigning two of my favourite creatures (Flixlit and Nymphasuchus), as well as some others, and at least one of the poll options for each would make me hate them

Like I would cry for ages if they made Nymphasuchus a tank because I love how it looks like a crocodile-ferret. Nymph is perfect, he doesn't need a redesign :( I hope that when they do redesign it, they keep its cute toes. I love Nymph

And Flixlit is my main (by far; it's my favourite creature in the whole game) so any redesign that changes it would be a loss in my book. Thankfully the poll currently looks like this

So I doubt it will change much in the redesign. I just don't want the other options because spiky Flixlit would look dumb tbh

Still, I'm slightly worried bc sometimes the redesigns suck. I despise the Pero redesign SO much. They made a fine creature so ugly. They made my sweetie look like a demon. And everyone was mad about Kendyll's bad initial redesign (tbh I didn't mind that one and I actually think the new redesign looks out of place compared to the other creatures) so yeah.

I know this isn't remotely what I normally post, but I need to ramble about this because I'm anxious now. Here's hoping they don't mess up with the Flix & Nymph redesigns.

what pride flag is this (wrong answers only)

Hi! I wanna share something special!

I have an OC named Manitari whom I adore. She’s a mushroom cat I made with @aposterous ! She’s been getting a lot of attention on Art Fight and the entires are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, so I want to show you them!

Firstly, this is Manitari:

She’s a giant autistic fluffer who lives in a cottage in the woods and her special interest is mushrooms! This ranges from cooking to gardening to… um… getting high…

But now! Onto her attacks!

Aposterous!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DRAWING MY LIL SHROOMCAT!!!! :D

As a proud pirate, this is invaluable. Thank you sincerely

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

Back at it again with my ClanGen game! You might remember me talking about ClanGen. You may naturally assume I've picked it up again recently and decided to draw my clan's ten founders, and that I spent a few days to a week making this. And you would, naturally, be wrong. I started this in February. I drew the first eight cats. All that was left was Morningpaw and Creekpaw. But I just. Stopped. And forgot about it. Until a month or so ago, when I FINALLY drew the last two cats. And then I forgot about it again until a week or two ago, when I finished it up, and I'm now posting it.

These cats are from HeronClan, a fanmade Warriors Clan that lives by the sea. They are the Clan's founders. You might have noticed the 2:3 adult to child ratio, which was an accident, and resulted in Rowanstar getting four apprentices: Wolfpaw, Webpaw, Morningpaw and Creekpaw. I can only imagine what that must have been like. Mouselarch was the only warrior at the beginning, too. I'm now in the 30-somethingth moon, and the Clan has wayyy more members now; I'm thinking of drawing another list of cats once I get to Moon 50, but we'll have to see.

Here are the traits/skills of each cat, so you can get a bit of a feel for their personalities:

Rowanstar: calm, unusually strong fighter

Toadheart: careful, great teacher

Skystripe: faithful, great hunter (pain)

Mouselarch: strange, good teacher

Wolfpaw: patient

Ganderpaw: ambitious

Hillpaw: ambitious

Webpaw: loyal

Morningpaw: compassionate

Creekpaw: cold

I started this game before the experience system changed, so that's why the apprentices don't have skills yet.

Anyway, I've been procrastinating on this thing for long enough, so here it is! Enjoy.

So I have this terrarium in a jar on my desk, and for months I thought everything in it had died, but I just looked in it and found a pair of healthy adult spiders just. Hanging out in there.

You may be able to imagine my surprise upon seeing this, as I had not opened the lid in months and had seen the two plants I put inside die in real time. That all happened in, like, August? Maybe earlier?

The weirdest part is that spiders are predators, so if I have spiders, I must also have other bugs they're preying on that I never noticed.

Welcome to my art, where I only draw refs for characters I never use. Today’s instalment is Void, a character who used to have a purpose (and might again someday), but is currently just a cool design I have.

As their latest lore goes, Void is the spirit of death. They don’t do any of the soul collecting, though. They’re more of a shepherd. They oversee an army of little grim reaper creatures who bring the souls back to the afterlife, where Void tends to them. Void’s gender is ambiguous because they never speak out loud, and they have no obvious physical traits to identify biological sex. They don’t care what people call them, so people just pick whatever works.

This character has sort of been slotted into an idea I had that, in a dream scenario, would be some kind of game. Imagine Creatures of Sonaria but the survival aspects are better. Of course, I lack the motivation and skill to make that idle dream a reality, so it’ll probably never happen. In this hypothetical game, Void would be an NPC that you can do missions for.

Anyway, I’d write more (is it weird to make descriptions long on Tumblr?) but it’s almost midnight and I’m. So tired. See you guys (all 18 of you, wow) tomorrow. If things go to plan, I’ll be posting again on Jan 1st because I do a yearly redraw on New Year’s Eve/Day. I’m excited to work on it. I feel like I’ve improved a lot with my scene art this year, and unless I get lazy I'll probably try to paint it so that might turn out cool. Ok bye

the mental health is not mentally healthing rn guys.

also, i keep forgetting that i have tumblr. oops
