I'm all in on Bluesky, so welcome!

This account will consist of pro wrestling 🤼‍♂️, lots of art (especially animation/stuff from favorite cartoons), family fun, Pepperoni 🐶, Bob 🐈‍⬛️, dad jokes, occasional pop culture commentary, and other miscellaneous musings.

Do what you can.
Kindness is free.

On my Mount Rushmore of donuts, for sure.

I think the use of "unpopular opinion" should die out. You shouldn't have to feel like a contrarian to stand firm on your beliefs or opinions. It's almost like people are preemptively devaluing their own thoughts. Take the popularity contest out of it and simply speak your mind.

You think I'm woke?

Geez, that's so sweet. Thank you.

We need a president who understands the cultural significance of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

Happy #PortfolioDay! If you're looking for cute characters, I'm your person! I've worked on everything from indie games to paper goods. I'm available for freelance illustration and product design (my merch is also available for wholesale). ✏️🐰

Portfolio & contact: portfolio.breelundberg.com

Photo of a hand holding up a small risograph print of a cute illustrated pink snail on a lime green background. The snail looks happy with sprouts around it and bubble letters that say "keep going!" above it.

Illustration of a happy looking cute kitty character eating a big piece of candy corn while surrounded by more candy corn. Its colors and markings look like the candy corn itself.

Photo of a pastel square blue zine that says "Lucky Buns, Roll for a Cute Bonus" on the cover with an illustrated D20 and a cute bunny face. Another copy is laying opened showing a "how-to" page and cute black and white art inside.

Black and white drawings of various characters (cute humans, dog, robots, and more) for Little Rocket Lab which appear on sticky notes in the game's journal.

This'll be Kris Jenner in a couple more years:

Scrooge's last name being McDuck is weird because no one's last name is McHuman.

You think you'll ever see Studio Ghibli discuss a live action remake of any of their films? Abso-fucking-lutely not. They revere the craft.

Chris Ruiz @okchrisruiz.bsky.social · 23h

I'm tired of every successful animated film having to then be discussed as a contender for a live action remake. I'm tired of the notion or suggestion that live action is somehow an "upgrade" from animation. Animated films continuously overperform and set records, but are still widely undervalued.

Hi #portfolioday ☀️

I’m a Polish illustrator & full-time 2D Game Artist. I love to create cozy art, usually celebrating nature or small moments of everyday life. I want to bring feelings of comfort to everyone and brighten their day with my work!

Gouache illustration of a black cat wearing a scarf with various geometric patterns on it. The scarf is in warm shades with some green accents.

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges.

With WWE & TNA in bed together, I hope we finally get the ECW vs EV2.0 feud that the world has been asking for.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Idea for a deathmatch wrestler gimmick. A mysterious, caped vigilante who has a complicated relationship with nocturnal mammals and - due to a tragic loss in his life - battles henchmen, thugs, and high-level villains wielding two Louisville Sluggers wrapped in barbed wire.

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.

Not only affects, but harms.

Oh, Dustin. Not shocked, but it still registers as a let down because of how buddy buddy he's been with people like Nyla and Sonny. Clearly, he's a prime example of someone who doesn't make the connection between how he votes and the extent to which it affects the people he claims to care for.
