A formline design of a cocoon and an emerging butterfly, coloured in the same shades as the transgender flag. The cocoon has half of a human face on it, and the butterfly’s wings are made of human hands.

An assortment of formline stickers. The designs include a hyena, a chickadee, an otter head, a capybara, and a harbor seal.

A picture of the vendor booth for TeleKitnetic Art at Canfurence 2025.

A picture of a formline wooden pin. The design is of a sitting wolf and a wolf pup in grey-brown. The wolf pup is pawing at its parents leg with its tongue stuck out.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Due to the unique way Super Mario Bros. stores its maps, its level designers were at the mercy of the decorative hills and bushes when placing bottomless pits. While the pits can be placed freely, the decorations are non-negotiable and dictate the level design.

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

#hollowknight #silksong #formline #telekitneticart

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.
