I'm apricot! I make the fantasy webcomic Kattabolt, about spunky cat girl Alex ⚡🐱

kattabolt.carrd.co
kattabolt.com
areyoshi.com

I post about Pokemon, my pets, & my OCs. If you like middle-aged men with issues who fall in love: hello, ask me about my #OC ship called Kibble. I have no self control.

Kattabolt comic advertisement featuring original character Alex, a cute cat girl in colorful clothes who is happily riding on a lightning bolt. She has long black hair and big glasses. There are low opacity examples from the comic in the sky behind her. The image has the web address for Kattabolt and also shows that it's available to read on Tapas and Webtoon as well.

Fan art of the Pokemon Pikachu and Charizard in a fierce battle. Pikachu is leaping away with rainbow electricity coming from its cheeks while Charizard flies after it and spews fire.

Original characters Kittens and Bull Dog, two old timey mobsters, running against a spotlight background. Kittens is a small man with brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and a scar above his brow. Bull is a very large bald man wearing a suit. Kittens is full on sprinting, but Bull is jogging.

Thanks for unfollowing, bye

you should probably show yourself out

Generally depends on my proximity to their work. I've more than once recognized @demondionysus.bsky.social's work in commissions and projects he never told me about and then confirmed when I asked 😂
But we've also spent years working together, so I know his habits

Mimi is well trained for it despite being a bitey little monster otherwise! I've been regularly trimming her nails since she was tiny, so her quick has stayed short and is therefore very hard to accidentally knick 😌

Sooo looks like this short of mine is a finalist at Penistone Film Festival!
If you live in the area (Sheffield UK) and like silent films, I highly recommend supporting this event. Been encouraged to come many times but I can't afford another trip, both physically and financially 😭

Done and submitted 😤

I don't click on 99% of what you post, I just never turned off the notifs lol, u good

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 11h

To be fair to you, it was a huge show and you still did a lot!

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 11h

I took an SSRI for years and that gave me more frequent brain zaps @_@ like as I was nearing the 24 hour mark almost every day I'd get zappy. The SNRI has been better for me long term because it hasn't done that, but *actually* missing a dose is apparently hell for me!

Wait just to clarify, by "strong" lemonade I just mean really sour lemon taste makes my brain shiver. Alcoholic/hard lemonade is fine but would not have helped me with this issue lol

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 12h

Ok it's been long enough since today's dose that I'm (mostly) feeling better. Don't fuck around with extended release SNRIs, kids (this was a really rare mix-up on my part)

THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION, this is very important

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 15h

Whoops, my b, was only going off of memory

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 15h

I thought I took my meds last night but I was wrong!!!! My brain is so zappy and bad rn. Sipping strong lemonade every few minutes helps reset me a little but Damn

I think about this a lot and I'm pretty convinced that it's because it requires active attention vs stuff that's already laid out that you can just ink while watching a movie etc. All leaves me exhausted when I can't intentionally split my focus

In general or 2001 CGI Scrappy specifically?

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 15h

Actually i think lavender has a similar effect, so points to lav

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 15h

Lavender for scent stuff. But fleas hate eucalyptus, if that's ever anyone's concern

People over the age of 29+. Quick question: Eucalyptus, Lemon or Lavender?

🎨 I never did post the finished version of this, did I? A while back I drew a lineup of our Call of Cthulhu players' investigators (+ Kibble, my favorite NPC disasters.)

The cat is an important party member, of course.

#KittensDidNothingWrong #OC #TTRPG

Character lineup art featuring seven people and a cat. From left to right, their names are Bull, Kittens, An, Corinne, Royce, Jax, and SYC (the cat). Bull is the tallest by far and Kittens is the smallest (obviously not counting the actual cat.) They are all dressed well to reflect the 1920s.

Love Bunnicula, and I still think about Howliday Inn a lot, specifically

Anyone else obsessed with this book as a kid? 😊 I loved it so much, lol.
