📌 Hi Bluesky! I’m Riven! I love drawing Disney, anime, and game characters. I am always looking to make friends with fellow artists! ✏️ #art

An illustration of Mufasa from The Lion King, smiling wistfully at the viewer, with a dark purple and blue sky full of stars in the background. Handwritten text in the upper right of the image says “James Earl Jones, 1931-2024”.

An illustration of Fei and Elly from Xenogears in front of a blue starry night sky.

Darkwing Duck drawn in an action pose with a city at night in the background. A full moon glows in the sky.

A lively Pokemon beach scene featuring Alolan Raichu surfing his tail atop a sparkling blue wave. A Lapras is sitting on the beach looking out at Raichu. A Mantine is jumping through the waves while a Wingull flies over head. There’s a Sandygast hanging by the Lapras’s feet, and an Alolan Exegguter chilling on the beach in the distance. A bright sun and a colorful rainbow are looming overhead of the entire scene.

Copypasta is zero effort and has never been funny imho

Riven @ladyriven.bsky.social · 2h

People are still getting 500 upvotes on Reddit for the stupid Xiangling copypasta, at least I know how I can farm karma if I need it 🙄

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Rep. Clay Higgins:

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average.
Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.
Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

Death averted.

3-panel comic. In the first panel, a cat tells a girl, "I'll kill you".

In the second panel, the girl pets the cat's tummy, and says, "no".

In the third panel, the cat purrs on the floor, and the girl gives a thumbs up to the viewer.

I love this movie, and not just for the Tom Hiddleston butt shot!

I shared this piece before, but never explained the story behind it. Earlier this year, my wife needed emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. Within hours, what started as a worry turned into a terrifying reality. They had to remove the pregnancy and her fallopian tube to save her.

"Salpingectomy":
A surreal digital artwork of a woman floating in space, surrounded by cosmic dust. Her left arm is missing. She reaches toward a glowing orb with her right arm, with an orb on the left side, floating away. The scene has a celestial atmosphere with stars and rain-like streaks.

She and I have been hesitant to share something so personal—even among friends—but it matters. These aren’t abstract debates. Reproductive rights are life and death. Access to care is why she’s still here, and it’s important that people understand these stories are real.

Apparently, this is the worst night ever to order pizza. Ordered a pepperoni at Costco and gave up and got a refund after an hour. Now spending 8x as much to DoorDash a local place with an 80 minute ETA. I thought y’all were supposed to be trick or treating not eating pizzas 😩

Happy #Halloween!
A wonderful 2nd century AD Roman mosaic found near Antioch, Turkey showing a skeleton, cup of wine in hand, reclining on the floor of a dining room in a house reminding guests to enjoy life: ‘ευφρόσυνος’

Detail of a black mosaic with a white skull, the boney arm of the skeleton raised, and a few ribs.

Mosaic with black background, reclining skeleton with cup of wine in hand with two loaves of bread and an amphora upright in a stand.

None of my friends do Halloween parties anymore and I am allergic to children so my Halloween plans begin and end at going to Costco tonight

Riven @ladyriven.bsky.social · 1d

Omg. I remember thinking these were too expensive 25 years ago. I don’t think I am ever getting them now 😂

Last Minute Halloween Costume Idea: a mummy but instead of being wrapped in bandages you just wrap yourself up in a CVS receipt

A scribbly illustration of a long black cat arching its back in fear. It’s surrounded by doodles of Halloween icons and stars, all in two shades of orange, black, and yellow.

I can only speak for myself, but the stuff I give away, and the stuff I see given away daily, is not particularly valuable or worth trying to sell. A lot of it is food, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, hand me down clothing, etc. Sometimes there’s electronics, but they’re usually old/broken/bulky

My husband and I are gonna be retirement age before we can afford a house in a non-red hellhole state and we are millennial/xennial. That on top of everything else going on, we are spending money on whatever enjoyment we can afford to enjoy. It’s usually food or games because he works so much.
