Hey Everyone!
My name is Rio, I'm the draconic mermaid!
I'm a 30+yr LGBTQIA+ disabled Vtuber.
I enjoy playing video games on stream, making art, and hopefully getting in VO work and song covers.
I do in fact have NSFW now

Friendly reminder that using references for your artwork isn't cheating.
Literally nobody who creates and understands art will think that.
If you need to use references, you absolutely should!

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

Good morning everyone. One of the things that brings me joy is getting things to run on devices that weren't necessarily designed "right out of the box" so to speak. I know its a Steam Deck and its a PC basically but getting the PC version of Simpsons Hit and Run working was fun and it plays great.
