Sometimes part of being an adult is buying a cake cause you got one foot in the darkness and one foot in the hello kitty roller skate of mental instability and you’re trying to appease your inner child

Some drawings I sent to a friend of mine recently- Vigoroth is on the envelope and Zangoose is in the actual card.

Maybe it’s cause I love making sonas (likely) but I noticed that I hadn’t used my old fursonas in a long while, so I made a new one lol. He’s a hybrid between a binturong and a sloth bear. I haven’t named him yet so suggestions are welcomed.☺️

I was helping a friend of mine, who’s learning how to draw, break down simple face shapes and I liked this Azula and Ty Lee enough that I went ahead and fully fleshed them out.

It’s amazing how I can be one foot in a meltdown and one foot in a panic attack, but when my cat comes over and gives me head butts and kisses I suddenly feel like I’ll get through this.

Like do you think he understands that his is one of the only things keeping me afloat?? Love this fat fuck- he’s the light of my life.

Another reason I want more Addams Family with the 90s cast is I think it would be so nice to see Morticia uncorseted and aging gracefully. I don't think she'd go full Grandmama but do you really think an Addams is afraid of wrinkles and cellulite?

Look me in the eye and tell me Anjelica Huston doesn't still have it.

Waiting for people to fuck up so you can cancel them, gatekeeping, communities self-policing to the point of self-destruction, debating each other's validity, communities infighting over terminology, fighting over the Best way to exist, trying to define what a Bad Community Member is/does, vilifying those people.

Besties I think we fucked up and internalized the surveillance state or the omni-present judgment of god or purity culture or perhaps just maybe all 3

One of my besties has gotten obsessed with furbies recently, and as a loyal friend I must create her muse. So- Funyun Furby lol

Reposting these together since I initially made them to be companion pieces. Ty Lee and Azula’s relationship evolution from their introduction to in the recent Azula in the Spirit Temple comic is interesting to me. Too intertwined to ever be strangers, yet too at odds to ever have a positive relationship again.

I think the hot new trends for this summer should be reading comprehension and critical thinking skills

The solar eclipse is today! You know what that means- it’s the perfect time to invade the Fire Nation!

Went to a flower field yesterday and had to doodle the sight. Honestly, it was so pleasant to just get out of the house and bask in the sun. I am a creature giving myself enrichment time.

A couple pictures of it. I’m not exaggerating those colors!

it’s interesting learning which homophobic ideas are confusing and unfamiliar to the next generation. for example, every once in a while i’ll see a post going around expressing tittering surprise at someone’s claim that gay men have hundreds of sexual partners in their lifetimes. while these posts often have a snappy comeback attached, they send a shiver down my spine because i remember when those claims were common, when you’d see them on the news or read them in your study bible. and they were deployed with a specific purpose — to convince you not just that gay men were disgusting and pathological, but that they deserved to die from AIDS. i saw another post laughing at the outlandish idea that gay men eroticize and worship death, but that too was a standard line, part and parcel of this propaganda with the goal of dehumanizing gay men as they died by the thousands with little intervention from mainstream society.

which is not to say that not knowing this is your fault, or that i don’t understand. i’ll never forget sitting in a classroom with my high school gsa, all five of us, watching a documentary on depictions of gay and bi people in media (off the straight and narrow [pdf transcript] — a worthwhile watch if your school library has it) when the narrator mentioned “the stereotype of the gay psycho killer.” we burst into giggles — how ridiculous! — then turned to our gay faculty advisors and saw their pale, pained faces as they told us “no, really. that was real” and we realized that what we’d been laughing at was the stuff of their lives.

it’s moving and inspiring to see a new generation of kids growing up without encountering these ideas. it’s a good thing. but at the same time, we have to pass on the knowledge of this pain, so we’re not caught unawares when those who hate us come back with the oldest tricks in the book.
