New month, new pinned~

So, I'm Lex: a writer, artist, and lowkey crazy cat lady with a terrible case of brainrot centered around King and Blue Mary from KOF being besties. I'm also the captain of the KingxVanessa ship.

I'm happily married, into nerd shit, and swear a lot.

Please enjoy your stay!

A collage of art by thelexhex/illyrilex featuring Blue Mary hugging King from behind while wearing a cheeky grin, a silly version of King and Vanessa sloppily making out in a car while Mary drives from the backseat, Mai Shiranui wearing the casual mod outfit that I designed, Mary taking a mirror selfie, King holding a disaster bisexual flag, a sketch of Vanessa, and King yelling at Ángel ("Whatever with your 'nyaaan I will fucking lay you out!!!!") while Mary facepalms.

A collage of images drawn by thelexhex/illyrilex featuring King in her KOF XV select screen pose in an original outfit designed by me (LexHex mod), Team Women Fighters 03 beat up and holding up their middle fingers, Kind and Mary mugshots from the Barbie meme, Mai setting a spider on fire while a horrified Andy watches, King and Mary sitting on a bar stool together, with King grimacing because she has a dead leg since Mary is sitting on her thigh, and Vanessa sitting on a chair like in Basic Instinct (you know the scene).

Today's #KOFtober prompt is "Redesign an SNK character," which is basically all I do (when I'm not emotionally torturing them).

Credit to @malaguetasccp.bsky.social for the existing Mai and King mods!

Collage of thelexhex/illyrilex's redesigns of King, Blue Mary, and Mai from KOF, Art of Fighting, and Fatal Fury, along with a couple of shots of CachorroViolinsta's mods from KOF XV and COTW based on said redesigns (where applicable because no thelexhex Mary mods exist). King's cursed MLS outfit is also a mod that doesn't exist but is there because that was one of my first alternate designs for her.

Cats, amirite? :D

Yes, I know he looks a LOT like King, but they're siblings, guys. Also, he's barely ever shown, and when he is he usually has a fuckass bowl cut, which we are not doing in this house.

#KOFtober prompt 12: Favourite NPC

Jean's a blank slate but I fleshed him out so he's cool, which probs sounds really vain but whatever. Also, there's Marron, whom I hc as a male brown tabby (no, the cat in the old AOF art is not him).

#KOF #KingofFighters #Jean #Marron #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

King's little brother, Jean, holding her cat, Marron in front of his face. He's wearing a Minecraft hoodie and there are sparkles around them because they're cute or something. Anyway, I've aged Jean up to 12, which could actually be canon but who knows? I sure don't. And, yeah, I know Eiji Shiroi did that old pic of King holding a silver and white cat in AOF, but she doesn't get Marron until KOF 96, so there's that. Also,

Aww there's no need to feel dumb -- it happens! Nevertheless, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I honestly hated not putting Dolores on the list but for the sake of storytelling I had to make that decision for reasons. She and Diana are stunning, tho. (I initially made a typo in this response! Sorrryyy!!!)

In case you missed it, here’s the most recent thing I wrote. It’s angst-free, so it won’t ruin your day like my usual stuff ☺️

thelexhex AKA illyrilex 💫 @thelexhex.bsky.social · 7d

Hark! A new story, brought to you by probably maybe watching way too many reaction channels. Please enjoy, and remember to leave Kudos if you actually do :)

Anyway, King, Mai, Yuri, and YouTube...

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog
