Lil self-promo

So, I run an open species ARPG (Emphasis on open. You can make your own without ever touching the ARPG, the ARPG is just the added ‘game’ with its own rules) and I had done a challenge to design as many critters as possible to fill a single canvas.

Problem is: I don’t exactly want to pile 31 new animal species onto myself because I would have to draw up not only a sheet for each one but write a bunch of basic lore that I will then have to expand.

So, I made a poll.

You don’t have to join anything and your emails are not collected(I don’t need your emails, I don’t want your emails). I just need people to vote.

Feel free to share it around, too. I don’t plan on closing it until the 21st.

Also, I didn’t really look at anything for reference. I just went 'this line feels cool’ and went from there. So there’s a few 'yeah, that’s an animal but a little messed up’ mixed with 'what is this, the precambrian?’

Work Retail. All I got was an unidentified hip issue that means I gotta take prescription pain killers just to sleep most nights because of the pain. Though, on the plus side I’m leaving for something that won’t make my unknown issue worse.

Not going to miss getting nasty looks for rebagging items so raw meat’s not with cooked meat or vegetables. How none of the cashiers think about how gross it is that they put the raw meat with everything else is beyond me. I’ve had customers thank me for what is basic food safety.

I don't want to make ““doctor’s appointments””and ““schedule a follow up.”” I want to be coaxed gently into a crate and taken to the vet.

Can I also get in on the part where the doctor patiently bears with me as I scream the entire time and then gives me some spray cheese on a tongue depressor?

  • Wrapped in several towels so that you don’t have to look at the scary thing
  • Having delicious snacks shoved into your face as fast as you can eat them while an injection ‘definitely didn’t happen’
  • Being told that you are a Brave Lady, Clever Little Man, or Sweet Baby for just sitting still
  • Getting your toenails clipped while you are here

that sounds perfect tbh

Also

  • Your seeming “off”/any sudden change in your pain or mood or habits will be taken as a sign of an actual problem instead of waved off
  • If you start yelling in the waiting room someone will talk or chirp at you to remind you they haven’t forgotten your appointment
  • You can just sleep until the doctor is ready for you. And then sleep more after.
  • The after care instructions will be written clearly and simply
  • Chewable medications that can be hidden in food

So, with the recent mention of VG from fire in fr discussion, I thought I’d let you guys know that they’re not the only one who has made a return to the public forums. Idk how much of the bigoted discord friend group is still active, but judging by forum post history we have VG from fire, E from light, X from plague, and fc from earth.

fc from earth even has an art tumblr that I had the misfortune of stumbling upon earlier while browsing the flightrising tag. In one post they say that the “gender radical” badge they have at the bottom of their fr profile was “made for their friend group” and “it is mostly a joke one”.

Don’t trust any of these fuckers and don’t give them money, they’re all more than happy to antagonize real life queer people while cashing in the payments they got from drawing your queer characters.

You know what, fuck it, I’m gonna reblog.

I can’t say much about the others, but I had interacted with VG from fire(Otherwise known as VonGacy on FR and on TH) sporadically for several months during the end of last year/beginning of this year via a server she owns/co-owns, Our Species. It’s an open species hub server.

I had found some interactions with her quite odd, as on at least two occasions she went on rants about vegetables being bad for you after me mentioning my love of peas. I think I have screenshots somewhere, but I’d have to dig a little. I remember during one incident, she made statements that upset me and one other person. One of them was implying that going full carnivore can cure autism, which she dialed back on when I pointed out how that sounded, seeing as I myself am autistic. The rest could be argued as a debate because she was also saying things that could easily be considered fatphobic. Again, I would have to see if I have screenshots, so take my word with a grain of salt.

The reason I was in this species server in the first place was to share my several open species. She was in the server for my species for several months, leaving after an unknown period of time. I and my server staff did dig up proof of her past actions as soon as I found out that we had a possible transphobe in our space. Which I will link below for the ease of anyone else looking at this. Based on my own experiences, while normally I would love to give a benefit of a doubt, I have no reason to beleive she’s changed at all.

And, since I can easily find these, what proof I had presented to my server staff(This is before I noticed that she was no longer in my server) that the TH and the FR were owned by the same person. While the line thickness is different, the signiture is otherwise the same. I had to look at her older art because she no longer puts a signiture on her art.

If I can find the screenshots I mentioned, I’ll add them as soon as possible.

Going to reblog rather than edit because I have additional commentary.

Found what screenshots I have. There’s likely chunks missing and I thing the mobile screenshots are out of order. Plus this is missing the mention of peas. My stomach simply dropped upon rereading these and all I can say is that just from this one incident, I can’t beleive I hadn’t left her server beforehand.

There’s also potentially medical misinformation in the screenshots. These were all from a single incident.

https://imgur.com/a/R77OhEj

These were all in a public server. The incident happened(As I vented to a close friend to try to calm down) around october 15, 2022.

Then this is part of the second incident, also started with peas.

I have 3 other screenshots I don’t feel are completely relavent(I might add them in if asked to, but otherwise it’s mostly just more of the same). But the second incident took place November 6, 2022.

whimsy is a powerful tool. you can focus on anything you want, you can devote time to thinking about how the weather is bad, or how it sucks having to work for a living, or whatever else

or you can think about dandelion cube

a patch of green grass sprinkled with dandelion flowers, a naturally growing flower with several bright yellow petals. in the middle of the image is a box that seems to be made entirely out of these flowers.  cube made by Marc Pouyet, thank you so much to karumizai-misc for letting me know the artist's name!ALT

life can be extremely difficult. and things fucking suck. like, a lot of things fucking suck. feeling alright and being ok are not, in any way shape or form, easy to do.

but still, among other things, you can think about dandelion cube

and that thought can be there for you if you need it

I haven’t posted in forever but I had shower thoughts and I want to share.

So a few of my friends probably have heard this story before, which is my favorite case of failing so hard I won.


This was back when I was like 12, so some details might not be accurate.

Anywho, I was 12ish, maybe 13. My mom decided she’d leave me in charge of food while she and my dad went and got groceries or some shit. I also have auditory processing issues. Dinner was a casserole and two pies for dessert. You see where this is going?

Well, she told me to make sure to put cheese on the casserole and check the pies. I didn’t hear half of it and was confidant that I understood what was asked. So I put the cheese on the pies and did jack shit about the casserole. I didn’t even know the casserole existed. That casserole was forgotten like the gunk at the back of the fridge. The casserole somehow was completely fine despite the fact that as far as I was aware, it didn’t exist.

Anywho, my parents got home. The house was in one piece and I was very proud of myself, as you are when you’re 12, dumb as shit, and managed to cook something edible by yourself. My parents were less than impressed by the becheesed pies.

My punishment? I got both pies to myself. I was tasked with eating my unholy abominations. I probably got sick of them after a few days of coming home after school and having cheesy pie because noone else was allowed to have my pies. But fucking yeah, I had pies and they were all mine.

10/10 I would happily cheese some pies again.

hi feesh i love u

Hi! I love you, too!

not a dream

anyone else disgusted by artists (a lot of them seem to be shippers) who fetishize their favorite celebrities to the point of drawing them having sex and other behavior like that? y'all okay? you do know these people don't exist for your consumption? they're not characters? they're real???????????????? thank God I'm not a celebrity because I got nude fanart of myself once and I cried for two weeks after it and felt extremely dehumanized and violated, I can't imagine how I'd feel if things like that were done about me on the daily....... i'd sue or something

ive said it before and ill say it again im like 90% sure that ppl who do this think that once you reach a certain level of notability (not even fame, this almost certainly happens to noche internet microcelebrities too) you forfeit ur human rights and join the same tier as fictional characters. when ur famous ur no longer a person to them, just another blorbo. sick and twisted tbh

As someone who has seen multiple people make OCs that are literally real people but as ‘x species’, it’s really gross. Those are real people, with real lives. And it’s really bad in closed species communities. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a character that’s just a real person, I’d have at least 20 dollars. Which is too many. Especially when it’s something with a breeding mechanic.

No matter how popular someone is, they’re still a person. Don’t treat them like a fictional character.

Its so fucked up that the ace community experienced so much (and I don't use this lightly) trauma at the hands of other lgbt people and no one fucking addresses it

And if you have the privilege to doubt if it was truly traumatic? If perhaps that's too strong a word? Maybe reflect on that. Because there truly is no other way of saying it.

The person who said I should have also mentioned the aro community you're 100% right aro folks were subject to this same horror and you deserve to have that acknowledged

All the aro and ace and aroace people leaving their stories in the tags of how scared they were or are to this day to come out TO OTHER QUEER PEOPLE know that I read them all.
