Finally got the colors I wanted to finish this.

I saw this article/photo from last year of a narwhal that was adopted into a pod of belugas in Canada and wanted to do a piece for it.

Current AvA/M reaction: I'm a Narwhal

This Influencer Arc is gonna give me anxiety. Or exacerbate it (don't know if I have it or not, but most likely)

Every new vid / short in on Green's channel, I need to take breaks in between to calm down. Seeing the slow, VERY SLOW, tumbling of strong bonds ALWAYS does this to me. Lovers, friends, queerplatonics, etc. I love these interpersonal connections, seeing them form & grow. So this arc? THIS?! It's killing me ya'll

The SS Green Influencer is cruising through the waters and I'm the local narwhal that can see the iceberg in the distance. I can stop, I can look away. It's why I'm not the ship itself. But my anxiety is being fueled by curiosity so here I am watching and waiting for the upcoming wreck. And when I do swim away on the hunt for fluffy fan-content of happy times, that danm ship is still chugging & churning the sea and the back of my mind.

And I'm pulled back to watch....

The Magical Races in the Sea of Gales (2/4): Selkies

The Selkies are perhaps the most mysterious of the magical people who live in the Sea of Gales. So mysterious and rare is a sighting, that it has been recorded incorrectly what animal they can turn into! Little do many know that not all of the narwhals can fly in the air and sing songs under the moonlight--only those who are Selkies, with their moonlit magic can do so. They keep to themselves, but there are a few legends surrounding them. They are great warriors, with the finest blades and weapons ever forged. There are also stories about them as loyal and loving spouses, who all return to the sea someday. Furthermore, one legend tells that the Selkies originate from the Emerald Isle, and that one of the many gods of the ocean, the Lady of Desolation, may have created the Selkies to give freedom to the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle who refused to submit to Thulian rule. If you should be so lucky to see a Selkie in human form, you will know them by the gray and white hair, like the moonlight and the narwhals whose shape they take.

Read more about them in my high fantasy pirate novel, To Sail on Seas of Sky!

Narwhal! That horn is actually a tusk - an inside-out tooth - and not all narwhals grow one! They’re theorized to be used to break ice, stun prey, and attract mates, it the purpose of this unique tooth is not well-understood.

How the fuck do narwhals exist, but unicorns don't?

We have horses, and we have other creatures with four legs and horns, but nature was like "Lol, nah I'mma put a horn on a small whale".

I have been so busy with cleaning so I can create an art studio I haven't been able to actually create art!

Here are some cutie little narwhals

I have spent every day for the past week shampooing the carpet because it's so soaked with dirt and fertilizer; someone decided to grow plants in there without ripping the carpet up, so it's a huge mess, and I don't have the finances to replace it, sadly.

It is getting so close, though! And in the effort to clean that space, I am realizing I also need a mobility aid. That will be interesting to navigate.

Can't wait to move past the cleaning phase and start moving things in and learn the new space to see how it should be set up.
