Two and the crew waiting for #tpot 20 to drop (we don't care that there's 2 days to go).

#bfdi #battlefordreamisland #osc #objectshows #cosplay #costume #plushies

A picture of me sitting in the middle of our couch wearing the initial get-up for my cosplay of Two from the show Battle for Dream Island (they're an anthropomorphic green number 2). As such I'm wearing a green blazer, green shirt and black tie along with dark blue jeans and green-framed sunglasses.

On the couch with me are a gathering of our object show plushies (along with a touch lamp of the character Firey from Battle for Dream Island, who is a flame with a light orange center and darker orange outside). From the left of me inwards, on the cushions of the couch, are Bryce (a blue soda bottle with a red label from ONE), X (a yellow letter X from Battle for Dream Island), Amelia (a small blue scented candle from ONE), Pencil (a yellow pencil with a pink eraser on the top of her head from Battle for Dream Island), Airy (a broken handheld lantern with a brown lip and body) and Evil Leafy (a red leaf with an angry facial expression from Battle for Dream Island).

From the left inwards, lined along the back of the couch leaning against the wall, are Fanny (a blue fan from Battle for Dream Island), Ruby (a red ruby with a round brilliant gemstone cut, she's also standing on her head in this picture), Flower (a pink flower from Battle for Dream Island), Box (a box with dark brown colouring on her bottom half with lighter colours higher up from Inanimate Insanity), Coiny (a copper-coloured coin from Battle for Dream Island), the previously mentioned Firey lamp and Liam (a green backpack from ONE).

Grandpa is AMAZING so if you wanna help 'em out with fundraising stuff you'll have the best time I promise 💖

(I'm totally down for collabs btw 😸)

For once I'm trying to plan something in advance.

We fundraise every December for the National Children's Alliance and it means the world to me. This and our Colorectal Cancer Alliance fundraiser in March is VERY dear to my heart.

If you would like to collab on a stream (like... co-op/-

Take care Poly! I know it's frustrating when things like this get in the way of other plans but you always gotta make sure to put yourself first 💖

Don't forget your daily affirmations!

- you are loved and deserve to be loved
- completing even small tasks is worthy of celebration
- perfection is nice but focus on just doing as well as you can
- trans rights are human rights
- do what you need but also make sure to find time to do what you love

I've been thinking about my pivot in YT content since the summer and how much joy it's brought me and how many amazing people I've gotten to know. For real, it's been life-changing.

So if you love the #osc and wanna help out a (semi) professional yapper consider dropping a sub over on my channel!

Visual Novels saved me : a #gamedev thread

I was in middle school, due to my dad's work I moved a lot, so I didn't fit into a clique, there were three years when the kids does not resonate with me at all and I got bullied at school

Ugh it's the worst. It's even more heinous when I find MYSELF being the one saying that stuff first. Need to slap the office outta myself.

Hopefully they don't like... ask for an extra month's rent after this. Really feels like they're just seeing how much they can get out of you, the buncha arseholes.

Yo everyone, Jam is cool and awesome and having a shitty time with a landlord right now (surprise, surprise... landlords suck!) so consider helping out! If you're not after any art you can help out on Ko-Fi instead! He's worked SO hard to find a place, let's make this happen!

Damn what the hell are they playing at over there? Internet is getting more screwy every day.

I've gained more than 100 new subscribers since June, which is a drop in the ocean for some but means the world to me ❤️ excited to continue to grow and who knows? Maybe we can get to 1k (a dream)!

Freya had the entire couch to choose from and she decided she needed to snuggle up to Pencil. Me and this fuzzball are gonna be fighting over her 😹

good morning #PortfolioDay !

i'm viktor, a trans gay illustrator, looking for work in books, ttrpgs, and comics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 historical fiction, fashion, and fantasy is my cup of tea ✨🌿🌸🍵 would love to work with more queer authors and fantasy book boxes!

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

I wonder what I could possibly be cooking up for Halloween? A cake maybe?

A picture of me wearing green sunglasses, a green jacket, green shirt and a black tie. I'm throwing the peace sign a la Two from the show Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two.
