Berserk has officially turned into a Pokémon battle. One of the BBEGs even looks like Xurkitree.

Berserk definitely inspired a lot of Gen 7-9 Pokémon designs.

Can you guess what arc I’m reading?

Fairy Pokémon really grew on me. When the type was first introduced, I thought it was silly.

But it turned out that these Pokémon drew ultimate power from their whimsy. They get strength from their silly.

Wtf is going on with Bsky? It’s not letting me quote my own posts anymore and keeps showing an “invalid server” error message.

In this ever-dehumanizing, anti-arts world, I implore you to please go out of your way to support artists!

- Be it $ (even $1 mo means something to us!)
- verbal support
- sharing / re-posting

it's as crucial as "shopping local". Don't like my work - all good! Find an artist you do like, support!!

It’s been an exhausting week leading into an exhausting weekend. My entire body is aching. I slept all day and only got up to eat meals that I prepped before my energy crashed this morning.

If I’m really quiet on social media, it’s because I’m taking a past-due rest.

I love SBR but my favorite part is Part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable. It’s as close to perfect as a JoJo part can be, imo.

Two longhaired lionhead bunnies snuggle together on a gray carpet. The one on the left is pure white with a flat pink nose and bright pink inner ears. The one on the right is black with a silver gradient. Their eyes are closed in a peaceful sleep.

A screenshot from the teaser for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run. A close-up shot of Gyro Zeppeli in warm, glowing light as he gazes tenderly at the viewer. This is how Johnny sees Gyro, it’s canon, don’t question it.

Also did you notice how that one shot of Gyro in the teaser looked warm and romantic?? I’m optimistic about this anime.
