Lover of fiction, author of long form fanfiction, believer in humanity, and generally awful critter. I like to come on here and say nice things about people's art. I do not consent to any of what I post, link or repost being used in AI programs.

Alright, I'm officially FED UP with being messaged by bots shilling stolen clip art. If you message me, open with something supremely fucking weird about yourself, like what pre-cambrian organism you think is the sexiest, or I'll assume your blood is electricity and your brains are made of bitcoin.

Editing the most recent chapter of my excruciatingly long ongoing smutfic after being gone for over six months.

A teeny tiny little corner of the internet is about to lose its shit.

Good model. Very pinchable cheeks.

I am sickened, and yet proud, for I know this is exact sort of unhinged fuckery is what the internet is for.

Nothing has made me hate AI more than those dog-ass ads on R34 video. Yes, I am still jorkin it to "boring old porn videos", no I'm not alone, my partner is under my desk, it's called BONDING and you're interrupting it with your FAKE-ASS BONER-DESTROYING COMPUTER VOICE I'M TRYING TO RELAX HERE!!!

People are at their most radiant when they excitedly yammer on about ehatever they are passionate about.

Conversely, people who make others feel bad for being passionate about something are subhuman garbage whose names are best forgotten by time."

I remember the exact moment I started calling him "Bitch Logarius."

Someone once sought me out on Instagram to tell me that a piece of my art they saw at a community exhibition was beautiful, and honestly that has stayed with me. It matters.

Panel 1: Shen is looking at a tall box that we can see into and through dollhouse-style. It's filled with just a little green powder, and below it, it says "INT". Shen says "Hmmm... I'm not that smart ..."

Panel 2: Shen is happily filling the box with yellow powder from a big burlap sack labeled "EFFORT", holding it up on his shoulder and tilting it over the box. He says "I'll just study really hard!"

Panel 3: Shen is looking at a similar tall box, this time labeled "DRAWING" and filled only a little bit with pink powder. He says "I'm not that good at drawing either ..."

Panel 4: Shen is on his tiptoes, once again resting the burlap EFFORT sack on his shoulder and tilting it into the box, filling it. He says "I'll just practice really hard!"

Panel 5: Some time later, a girl with bell-shaped orange hair and a black top is holding a piece of paper and talking to Shen. She says "Wow, you got an A on that test?? You're so SMART!"

Panel 6: A guy with dark brown dreadlocks and a yellow t-shirt holds a piece of paper, pointing at it, and says "Wow you DREW this! You're so talented at ART!"

Panel 7: Shen has a devious evil grin, holding the EFFORT sack and looking at it, as the background darkens into shades of purple and red. He thinks "I've fooled them all."

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry?

I think you could do it with a bunch of streamers and famous influencers.

My favorite thing about working in a warehouse is when my manager says "It should be a normal night." and then the next thing I hear from him is "Please leave. We legally can't keep you guys here any longer."

They won't let Peter Parker grow up because they know comic fans hate change.

Paul could be snapped away by the Infinity Gauntlet, MJ could drop the venom symbiote, and Miles or Kaine or Cindy or anyone could take the mantle, but y'all would throw a worldwide temper tantrum either way.

SAJAN @planetsmudge.bsky.social · 25d

I dunno, none that i'd share, but a bunch of terrible comics guys deserve to be painted green and bound to a chair in a room full of jeering americans, like in this picture

It's the same picture.

I think, genuinely, you draw the cutest girls on this whole website. I've got guys like Alex Ahad on my feed, but every time your work pops up, my neurons fire off like bottle rockets.

I dunno man, there's some sorta secret technique at play here. A simple dish served perfectly.

Anybody following me should know I'm literally just some guy. An aspiring but unproven talent in the literary world.

My goal is to be a bara house husband who sustains himself through art.

I love fiction with my whole heart and ass, and I want to spend the rest of my life making it.

XerrickLaMerrick @xerricklamerrick.bsky.social · 28d

The amount of elation you get from drawing and discovering the quirks of these little freaks brings me the same kind of joy I get from biting into a juciy peach.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
