Redrew the first piece I did of these two interacting, because now I finally have a decent grasp on the style and can make it not look like garbage. 😌

People find posting oc/canon content cringe on the cringe website? It's genuinely so fun as someone who's met some of the most amazing people through it.

I’m willing to give that anon the benefit of the doubt, and simply say, it is far more fun to be shamelessly self-indulgent with your content than worry about what others think about it. 😌

Aren’t you embarrassed to post oc/canon stuff online? It’s super cringe

You’re just jealous that your fictional stand-in isn’t nailing a baddie like Vox. 😫👌

But for an honest answer, I am not embarrassed because I simply Do Not Care what other people think. I’ve been making self insert content my whole ass life, and I’m not about to stop now. c:

hey can you do a poll that asks if you’ve ever received hate anon mail? Thanks

"How can you like these very toxic and horrible characters that have done despicable and unforgivable things?" oh it's quite simple actually, this is fiction and I think with my dick.

I absolutely think adults, especially parents, ascribe manipulative intent to children when they shouldn't and it's absolutely a problem but it's always kind of funny to me when people go online and proclaim that children are incapable of manipulation. When I was three I asked my mom to get my older sibling their favorite candy bar at the grocery story because I knew she'd get me mine too as a reward for being thoughtful and that was way more likely to succeed than if I just asked for a candy bar for me. And it worked. Children scheme at a developmentally appropriate level the trick is not assuming children scheme at an adult level.

everyone say thank you tomio ogata

Finally swallowing my nerves and posting these guys because I’m proud of them! I might do more in the future too tbh. Designing characters within the style limitations of a show or world is always super fun!

Only rules are first come, first served, DM me to claim, and payment is due via PayPal within 24 hours of claiming. I’d like credit where any art is reposted, but you can do what you like with the design once paid for!

Avian flu in North America: What we know as of Nov 16, 2024.

This post will have a west coast USA focus as that is where I live and currently a hotspot. Canadians are welcome to add on if they know more about their government response.

H5N1 is zoonotic. We do not know to what extent fully, but dairy cattle can carry it asymptomatically and pass it through their milk. The virus is killed by pasteurization (which you can do at home!). Do not drink raw milk right now (or ever maybe, but that’s another can of worms). Source: https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/investigation-avian-influenza-h5n1-virus-dairy-cattle

Cats can also get avian flu. It can be lethal to them. Source: https://www.woah.org/app/uploads/2023/07/qa-avian-influenza-in-cats.pdf

A teen in British Columbia is currently infected and in critical condition. We do not know the source of the infection. Source: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/canadas-national-lab-confirms-h5n1-hospitalized-teen

Oregon just had its first confirmed human case. Source: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4993916-cdc-detects-first-human-bird-flu-case-in-oregon/amp/

Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle just had an avian flu death of a not-on-display bird and is locking down all birds. Source: https://blog.zoo.org/2024/11/confirmed-avian-flu-case-at-woodland.html?m=1

H5N1 is being monitored in wastewater and is notably detected throughout California. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/wwd-h5.html

CURRENT BEST PRACTICES FOR SAFETY:

As previously mentioned, do not consume raw dairy products.

It is believed to be airborne. Mask up - Covid and Avian Flu are threats still!

Wash hands before and after interactions with any birds.

Bring cats indoors.

If you have birds, do not allow people who have been in the area of recent outbreaks near birds. Require all visitors to step in diluted bleach foot baths. If possible, keep birds in limited and covered areas.

Any birds moving between areas should be quarantined for several weeks with zero cross contamination between them and other birds.

Please feel free to add further info I may have missed, or as it becomes known.

i love characters with prominent noses. the only reason i’ve ever given a character a small nose is to fulfill a diversity quota

[ectochoir]
