I wanted to remain on Twitter but Elon is just crazy.
I don't post full rendered artworks because I simply don't have the energy to finish them but I sketch. Here are some of my sketches from Patreon. I hope my patrons will forgive me for leaking them here too.

Jesus Christ. I've never read Yellowfang's Secret and it's insane to me that what we see of Lizard is supposed to be "evil woman" like from the screenshots you posted this is really and truly someone who is being forced to bear children. Forced to care for them. Lashing out that her husband can keep doing his job and she has to drop everything to care for children she didn't want. And that horrible shit from Ragged oh my God dude.
It's SO fucked up!! That exchange with Hollyflower is HORRIFYING!!!
Like, during the Brokenkit Handoff, she's shouting about not wanting to raise every unwanted kit and how badly she hates this, only for Raggedstar to start bellowing at her to shut her mouth. He's able to "convince" her based on on "ambition" they slapped onto the character in that moment, but when you really step back and look at the context, it just reads like she realizes she has no fucking choice
She's the only queen in the nursery. There was no "saying no"
Especially not to the deputy
NO ONE cares about Lizardstripe as a person, even though she's obviously really uncomfortable about being forced to birth and raise children
"I know she doesn't want this. That's too fucking bad. It's her duty as a woman" -Sagewhisker
I can't get over it. This book doesn't treat her like a person, it treats her like a bad vessel. She's a horrible mother because she DOESN'T WANT THIS, and the narrative condemns her, even partially blames her for A BABY-KILLING TYRANT, because she wasn't happy about the situation she was forced into.
Like... jesus christ!!

Prayer request: please pray for my grandpa. He's having open-heart surgery tomorrow, and he has two other hospital-worthy health issues that they're going to have to figure out how to treat after that. He had a bad fall back in May, and while he was originally doing miraculously well, he stopped taking care of himself as well as he should have in July (right about when he should have been able to start doing more . . .), and that's led to a whole slew of issues.
Specific requests:
That the heart surgery goes well.
That the doctors will have wisdom to figure out how to treat the other issues.
That my grandpa will be receptive to whatever changes he needs to make to ensure these problems don't come back and new problems don't arise, and that he'd find the motivation to not stay in his current mindset (which seems to be that he's avoiding anything that requires effort).
This is a little selfish, but pray that my uncle (who's currently with my grandpa) would be able to stay with him for his recovery instead of making my mom come up again (after she already spent literally all summer taking care of my grandpa after his initial fall).
Thanks in advance.

severus is like a cat that has to be won over with months of constant kindness and understanding and consideration and at some point he realizes he has nothing to be wary of and then can show his real feelings. and the things he cares for. his favorite topics to talk about have to do with anything that causes innate curiosity, and one of the things that gets him to keep talking is by his responses not being rejected. if someone isn't scared away he has an obligation to keep conversing. it doesn't hurt him to find him offputting or too negative as an adult, he's used to it. it's crazy and unheard of though... for someone to respond with something more open. i think connection is something he craves but it's never something he's used to, even when he and lily were friends, it probably surprised him to be treated kindly. to have a friend.

seeing a xweet thread where this idiot is putting their cat down for eating their hamster, followed by said idiot repeatedly stating that cats can be vegan (they can't, making them do your vegan diet is abusive), and immediately wanting off this godforsaken planet:
