Outdated art of our girl, Mari. We're in the process of redesigning her but we're still fond of this piece. <3

A pink serpentine creature with red and green highlights along her body. She is hugging her rose-shaped tail close to her chest with a cheerful and silly expression

There was a typhoon that hit western Alaska and has hit a lot of rural and indigenous communities to where whole houses were floated away. There’s a disaster relief fund available to help those that were affected by it where you can share and or donate

Are there still spaces left in the second pack? I'd be glad to join in!
(I checked, I'm not in the first one)

A quick drawing of a mourning dove who was perched outside of our window yesterday <3

A drawn scene depicting a mourning dove in a tree under a cloudy sky. Leaves are blowing in the wind as the bird remains perched on one of the branches. Other birds on power lines can be seen in the background, with a water tower and buildings visible in the far distance

The beasts of old still enjoy roaming these dreary lands... Best just to leave them be.

a triple headed panther god, perhaps the god of war, stands fiercely atop a waffle house, the sky is so dark there's nary a star, but you can see straight through his legs. it must have just rained recently.

a deer god grazes peacefully amongst the roadside cattle. It's a chilly winter morning, a barn in the distance has the word "VOTE" painted along side it's roof, but you're not sure who its endorsing.

A biblically accurate owl god perches atop a decrepit toys r us. The parking lot is grown over with weeds. I used to work there you know. that's not part of this picture but I thought you should know.

a slimy vulture god with a couple extra hands gleefully enjoys some roadkill. Billboards stating Hell is Real and an ad for an Adult Toy store are in the background, adding to the ambience. There's a lot of trash alongside the road. someone should probably clean that up.

why do we always forget about racism when it's against asians. anyway here's your reminder that "proship" and "anti" were born from anti japan racism.

Cassius ⭐ @kled.bsky.social · 7d

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.

Every once in a while, I see people wonder why, out of all of the available Pokémon to choose, Poliwhirl was so often shown front and center. Especially in the case of Pokémon's marketing in America.

Well, I'm going to do my best to answer that question now.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.

Anno: Oh, I’m critical of Porco Rosso, myself.
Tomino: What was wrong with Porco?
Anno: As a picture, nothing. But because I know Miyazaki-san personally, I can’t view it
objectively. His presence in the film is too conspicuous, it’s no good. In other words... it feels like
he’s showing off.
Tomino: How so?
Anno: He has the main character act all self-deprecating, calling himself a pig... but then puts
him in a bright red plane, has him smoking all cool-like, even creates a love triangle between a
cute young thing and a sexy older lady.
Tomino: Ha! I see what you mean. He and | are around the same age, though. So I get how he
feels, unconditionally. So I may think, “Oh boy...” but I can’t stay mad at him (laughs).
Anno gets a little too into talking about underpants, and Tomino of all people has to check hit
Anno: From my point of view, he’s being very presumptuous. Tomino-san, you put so much of
yourself into your works, it is like you’re dancing naked in them. I like that! (balls fists) In Miya-
san’s recent works, he makes you fhink he’s dancing naked... but on second glance, you realize
he’s still wearing underpants. (getting carried away) I hate that! I feel like shouting: “Take it all
off!” (getting really carried away) And to add insult to injury... he’s wearing fancy underpants!
Tomino: You don’t beat around the bush. We get it, we get it already.
Anno: (shrinking) Excuse me.

Tomino: i do get what you mean, and i don’t mean to play devil’s advocate for Miyazaki, but...
generally speaking, that’s just how you get when you age. It’s the same for me, surely. That was
my first time hearing it put so frankly... but you get what I mean already. It does feel nice letting
it all hang out, waving your dick around. That’s how movies ought to be!
Anno: Yes, I agree. I don’t like it when people try to obscure themselves like that. If you’re
gonna wave your dick around, wave it all around! If you don’t have the guts to do that, then wear the best clothing you can.
Tomino: Right... Dress yourself to the nines!
Anno: Commit yourself to putting on a show. He couldn’t do that. I felt betrayed. Like, this guy isn't really naked!

you don't get to count on votes from people you are letting get exterminated. if you let a fox kill the chickens, should you still expect eggs in the morning?
