what if the computer worked? what if video games were fun? what if there was a beautiful woman? my blog explores these concepts, and more

making art sites that don't allow NSFW is useless to me. not even to get my rocks off, i mean at this point not allowing NSFW ends up being a nightmare of random queers getting banned because the guidelines are too ill-defined and art that presents the human body, especially femme and trans, will just get obliterated for no reason despite not being sexual.

You had meant to remind yourself not to look, to not let your eye be drawn to the bright colours of the reruns of the days big news.

Lil pre-Rebirth brainworm I dragged up out of the wip folder and gave the proper treatment.

If you ever tagged me to do one of those tag game thingies and I never did it:

1) Thank you, seriously. Those are fun and being included shows that my followers care enough to want to learn more about me.

2) Very sorry about that, it’s extremely likely that I said to myself “Cool! But I’m busy at the moment, I’ll have to do this later today or tomorrow” before proceeding to just straight-up forget, now it’s too far back in my notifications and/or your blog to find again.

Get them here on Ko-fi, for only €3!

Brush for Clip Studio Paint and Procreate, simulating the feeling of drawing in your sketchbook (or notebook!) with a ballpoint pen!

Comes with biro-inspired colour palettes for an authentic feeling, and 3 hand-made, layered "paper" files to really sell that traditional look; one lined, one plain but textured (with ivory and grey backgrounds), and one darker toned paper with lots of scrunch and texture and damage.

I love the random replacements for clichés writers insert in science fiction shows. like when a 21st-century human would say "stop pacing you'll wear a hole in the floor" but in a space show the alien/future human says "you're oscillating like a Betelgeusian night badger" or some shit. like fuck yeah he is. amazing drive-by worldbuilding. I'm gonna spend the next half hour wondering why the Betelgeusian night badger evolved to do that
