They/them, ace-aro, adult. Hybrid fox (Vulpes vulpes) and arthropod (various bugs) therian/otherkin. I am a bugfox critter who can found amongst deep hardwood leaf litter or in an old computer monitor eating a discarded pastry. I scrawl art of other critters. Hi!! :3(Art tag is #sadanimalcore,text posts are #bugfox_noises and reblogs tag is #reblogge )

BAN ON CONVERSION PRACTICES IN THE EU. GO SIGN IT. DEADLINE IS FUCKING MAY 17. WE'RE STILL MISSING 800.000 signatures. FUCKING DO IT.
I think we’re really not appreciating limpets enough. They’re just a snail with extra shell and they’re equally adorable
Isolde and Light were a very nice duo together before Isolde lost Light. Here are some little shenanigans they did together!
Feels like old times.
“There’s beings that seem to be drawn to dying Tower Beasts…?”
(Felt like painting something moody with one of my foxes, yayyy)
Eater of Anomalies!!
An old OC concept I had years ago but never got around to drawing until now!! She's an ambiguously-defined arthropod mimicking much of the morphology and behaviour of a mantis, but isn't even an insect; her raptorial forelimbs are in fact two pairs of partially fused limbs. She eats anomalous entities of some eldritch variety oh wow!!!
(She may or may not appear much later down the line in my webcomic, oh wow!!!! As a bugkin also wish I had her form so badly ahh!!)
continuing on with refs, here's Yuzu! they are a soft fluffy kitsune with many tails! 🦊⛩️🌸
...and many colors that make them harder to color than everyone else

I vividly dreamt the other night that I drew this exact fox critter and image, now it is real?? I guess
Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
I wish anything and everything relating to Harry Potter could be nuked from orbit. I am so sick of seeing it everywhere, especially now. Develop better taste in children's novels from an author who isn't a venomous hack with blood on her hands.
Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️⚧️🇬🇧
Well fucks? Get to it!
The world is too loud, but we have a little den we can run to and spend time our fox plush and bug friends
(Experimenting with a more painterly look/limiting inking, yay!!!!)
As someone with a special interest in foxes, fuck I feel this issue with most footage being people keeping said exotics as house pets, or other similar circumstances that are to the detriment of the animal
Especially in relation to fennec foxes, the amount of videos (and photos) of them being kept as house pets is genuinely upsetting to me
Torture to be a fan of any exotic animal when it's like. 90% of the footage of them is gonna be from dodo videos of people illegally keeping them as housepets . Really wish I could enjoy this video of a lynx but I also kinda wish everyone involved would die
Dynastes tityus, my beloved
(For a page I’m making for my website >:3)
(Also I posted this earlier but realised I’d used the common name for the related species Dynastes grantii in the image because I am a dumb bugfox who somehow didn’t initially notice oh no!!!)
Harold the house centipede ✨

Umbreon doodle sheet
Computers are fun, you can look at pictures of critters that live inside them!!
(Graphic for my Neocities website link page, decided to update it with my sona’s current design weeee!!!)
Experimenting a little bit with mixed media, I quite like the look of drawn/stylised elements in conjunction with photos!!
