Alright Thats It *removes Periwinkle's Spots*

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”

i drew this in late 2023 in honor of the really cool fanwork "project shadow" by joao santiago. him and his team did an incredible job bringing this story to life in a meaningful, impactful way and i hope his career goes places.

i really liked the scene with shadow looking up at the rain while his expression softens. i thought it was beautiful. i interpreted it as the planet crying for/with him about his loss as well as shadow bittersweetly appreciating the rain and how it feels on his fur - knowing full well that maria would have loved to feel it too.

Bust commission for @kigut :3

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

here have some scribbys

knuckles as a human .....??

this was a fun exercise because tbh i prefer anthros... but stepping out of my comfort zone to draw a human again for the first time in like a year was neat. trying to think about how i regard his features when i draw him as an echidnabear thing and how to translate that onto a human body was interesting

i wanted him to look older, gentle, yet very capable and experienced. basically my dream man. pff

ermmm. sorry i havent been very active lately. i have some owed art i still need to work on and the holidays kicked my ass a little

You do not need your Twitter.

Twitter is not the boost you think it is anymore.

I have seen at least 6 people I follow on BlueSky saying they have looked into their numbers and compared to Twitter? BSky gives them over double the exposure and follow through for outside links (probably because Twitter kills your tweet if you have links).

Twitter is testing a feature to allow other users to click a button attached to your posts to put your art into their Grok ai and make ai art with it without your permission automatically.

It is marking non-ai art as being made with Grok (probably to promote it).

You do not need Twitter.

Twitter needs you.

Starve the fuckin thing.
