Something so profoundly fucked up between the inverse ratio of shrinking middle class and ever increasing aggression of advertisement

(grin) ...If only. These I would read.
(ETA: The covers are available as prints from the artist.)

I wanted to tell you again, how very happy I am with the Celebradiation piece you did for me! I love it so much. I hadn't changed my phone background in years, but this is now the new background :)
Separate from that, I just - the details in this, the love and care put into all of it - I've been looking at this every day since you released it. The ruffles and fur on Willow's collars. The expressions on both him and the chicken he's holding. The silver bangles!
Beckett and the hen eyeing each other. Beckett's jeans and the folds and shading. The cozy background. I just love all of this so much.
Thank you, thank you!! for this piece. It's wonderful. <3
😭 It’s so sweet of you to reach out about this!! The Celebradiation was such a fun event, and I couldn’t be happier getting your prompt for my end of the trade. I’ll always maintain that making art into someone’s Lock Screen or Background is one of the highest achievements an artist can get, so thank you for granting me that privilege.
I’m glad you also picked up on the chicken and Beckett having a stare down. Raising some myself means I have a great window into chicken personality, and I love how quizzical and intelligent they are. It’s part of why that little detail in the prompt pulled me in right away! Willow understands the depths of chicken companionship. And you know Beckett is getting his head pecked at for insinuating the birds might be dinner.
Thanks again for reaching out to me, this ask made my day <3

hold on sorry you're telling me the name of the boat was "the terror"?? i always assumed that was a retroactive name! did they WANT things to go horrifically awry???
obsessed with the implication that nominative determinism could have saved them

“Are you sure we can’t eat these for dinner, Willow?”
My Celebradiation ‘24 exchange partner was @the-laridian! All of the requested characters were delightful, but as a huge Fallout 76 fan myself and an owner of over a dozen chickens, I couldn’t help but be enamored by Willow’s relationship with his hens. Even if Beckett does struggle with understanding 2 chickens for dinner vs a sustainable source of omelettes and scrambled eggs for years to come.

Seeing people drive big lifted and totally pristine giant pickup trucks as just a car to get to and from work on fully paved roads is like watching a high energy working breed dog be forced to live in a 1 bedroom apartment and only go out for poop walks.
If you cant provide them the home they need its abuse. That truck should be hauling bricks, it needs to be maxing out its suspension hitting ridges at 65 mph. It should be dirty and dented because they love it. Theres no enrichment in your 1/4 mile drive to the gas station. Youre torturing it, youre killing that truck.
