Huge shout-out to trans men, you guys are the coolest mother fuckers I've ever met, always feel myself standing up a little taller and feeling better about the world knowing we're lucky enough to share a gender with you.

idk if anyone needs to hear this today, but: if you are a trans dude, the fact that you are a man is a good thing and your existence as a trans man makes the world a better place. it is not a bad thing that you are a man and it's especially not bad that you are a trans man. the fact that you exist as a man is a great thing and you are amazing. sleep well tonight

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

A screenshot of a blockbench file featuring a lowpoly huntsman spider from a top angle. The spider model lacks textures, but is divided into 4 seperate colors to differentiate pieces of the spider's anatomy- purple for the opisthosoma and prosoma, yellow for the chilicerae, green for the pedipalps, and pink for the legs.

(I realized I should start posting these things instead of vanishing off so erm teehee I'm still around, just doing things between irl happenings :3)

Been trying my best to keep some projects a surprise but I've got quite a few things in the works..🫣 [big BIG WIP]

A substance painter screenshot, showing the back angle of Moopleaf's bunny base being in the midst of painted to have Prince's colorations and markings. There are two versions of the model shown, one with rabbit ears pointed up and one with ears lopped. Being a work in progress, the model textures lack detail but has the base placement of the three brown tones of fur, and the cream-white heart butt pattern and feet-- but Prince's antlers are still uncolored and his ears lack their token gold splatter markings.

It’s weird to be nostalgic for Deviantart but there was sort of a comfort at the time of knowing pretty much every artist was on there in some form. Made it feel more connected as opposed to now where everyone is just sort of scattered all over and art really isn’t the focus of social media

Actually wait I don't even remember if you can throw pebblets in general in G2 (unless on red ant buggy iirc) and using pebblets in general as a weapon

There was something that just scratched my brain just right about smashing rock on the skulls of your buds, just full out

I'm not going to lie as much as I adore Grounded 2 and how much of an improvement it is on terms of building off the first game

I miss the days of just empting an entire inventory's worth of pebblet hammers on bugs. It was so funny to just start hurling hammer after hammer after hammer after hammer

I just really want to see what you love and your real feelings and your personal stories, and any work where those break through the corporate machine, I cry tears of joy. I’m so tired.
