magma battat mikes bc i am distilling his cutiefulness

a few digital drawings of battatmike, a microphone-like darkner with a wire-hair comb-over, big red bow, round body and head, and white gloves. he poses cutely, and in one drawing is being complimented by his boss for his durability and reliability. at the lower right he has taken off the big round head to reveal he is a pippins (dice darkner) with a geometric head, he fans himself with one glove while he holds the helmet under the other arm. in one tiny drawing in the middle he is fixing jongler's bow and jongler asks "do youse, like, like bows? and battat says "What? No" absentmindedly. there are little drawings and notes distributed throughout by other artists.

panel 5/5 #spamtenna #deltarune

a view of tenna from his antennae's new vantage point atop spamton's head, viewing himself. the angle is slightly fish-eyed and alongside it you can see speech bubbles pointing back to spamton saying, "[EYE] can see you! You're not [GOING, GOING, GONE] anywhere." and "And besides, [EYE] like what [EYE] see!"

little spamtenna comic, nebulous timeline just a fun idea i wanted to pencil out for my partner, panels 4/5

#spamtenna #deltarune

tenna tugging on his antennae and yelling "I'M DISAPPEARING, I KNOW I AM"

spamton clambers onto tenna's back as he fumes and says "You gotta [GET UP G-G-GET DOWN] outta your head [CATHODE]", there are two clicking sounds as he unplugs a cable in the back of tenna's neck.

tenna's face turns to static as spamton clicks and slides the panel holding his antennae off of his head, his expression is a little more hesitant. spamton continues, "Lightners ain't the only ones with [PEEPERS]." and turns to slide off of tenna's back. tenna looks up even more hesitant, and his screen has lightened to pale again.

spamton places the plate and tenna's antennae on top of his own head.

Technically a kinktober drawing LOL multiple punishments. Chasing pippinses :) #deltaruined

A digital sketch of tenna chasing at least four pippins down a hall. One is getting away, one is waiting on the ground to get kicked or grabbed, one is jumping up and down trying to get his attention, and another is laughing and getting bowled over.

DESPITE EVERYTHING, IT'S STILL YOU.

#deltarune #spamton

two drawings of spamton shielding his eyes, one of him much younger and one of him in his tortured puppet doll form. the similarities/mannerisms are identical.

I wrote a longform piece about my experience with the Whipple, recovery, guts, vomit, and escaping physical and spiritual death.

ROOTED IN THE BOWELS OF THE EARTH: Whipple, Wallowing, and Recovery

Your body is not your own. You are not in control. It no longer wishes to serve you. In the span of a day, you’ve gone from fully able to a state of helplessness and pain you were not prepared for.…

i still haven't seen cronenberg's dead ringers... the tv show was good. you should watch "rapado" about a guy in argentina who has his motorbike stolen and who steals a different motorbike and more or less nothing happens and it all looks really good letterboxd.com/film/rapado/

Rapado (1992)

After the theft of his motorcycle, Lucio bums aimlessly around Buenos Aires drifting from one arcade and record store to the next, indulging in short chats with friends and, more often, setting out on...

I have a very small achievable goal, all money goes towards renting locations, special effects make up and gore, gas and food for everyone on set on any given day

The teaser trailer for By Time You See Me There Will Be Nothing Left, my directorial debut about a messy t4t serial killer couple, being a mentally ill cripple, and living in California in 2025, it’s a very depressing fucked up little movie and I can’t wait to show to yall (kickstarter below)

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

genius catching flame #pathologic #peterstamatin

peter stamatin sits in a shrouded chair in his apartment. there are streaks of blood on the ground and on his shoes. there is a blade plunged into the table nearby. there are cuts along his ribs and his shirt is opened to show his breasts. behind him there are cuts in the ottoman, and a couch which has been set on fire. the fire reaches up and catches at the curtains. there is a shrouded bird cage near the fire.

To anyone following me from the list of indigenous artists I am on, you're welcome to stick around but be warned my account and my artwork are seriously nsfw. i'm not your little cultural educator, and regalia is not part of my indigenous experience. And to anyone left, welcome LOL
