Ooooo I would love to see what you've been drawing

Okay! (Sorry it took a while to respond, I needed my mom's phone to take pictures)

(The lighting kinda sucks but oh well)

Mostly what I did while I was gone was redraw old characters I created when I was little, like around 4th - 6th grade.

All of them are from various things, like all the dragons were from a set of dragon identification cards I made, kind of similar to HTTYD. Brief descriptions of all characters under the cut:

The dragon species I drew were the Acidstrike, Blitzfire, Cavernous Rockslider, and Golden Beetle. Blitzfire was originally called Spinfire, Cavernous was Shaded, and Beetle was Wings. I did my best to reinvent them and make the dragons look like they could be actual creatures with proper anatomy.

Zenith (the purple cat creature) was from the same universe as the dragons, but they were a race of colorful magical cats. I used to call the species "Furries" with an -ie because I was too lazy to come up with a unique name.

Rex (the red fox) was from a world of various magical animals, mostly foxes and seals. He was the leader of some kind of evil organization. All the members were red and had skull iconography.

Rogue (calico kitten) was actually made as a one-off Black Butler OC for a friend's Gacha Life comic, and was Sapph's daughter (this was back when Sapph wasn't my sona and just an OC). From there I added her to Sapph's story officially, before making Rogue and a few other kitten characters into a group called "The Naughty Kittens." Despite the unoriginal name, they were pretty fun to draw. Maybe I'll remake it some day.

Willow (black and white cat with neon) I don't entirely remember the story for. She was one of a bunch of fusion animal OCs, and I ended up repurposing design elements for a completely different character, before scrapping it altogether.

And lastly, the fox girl. I don't remember her name. It's probably in one of the other sketchbooks, I'm pretty sure it was something like 'Alex?' She was designed by an old friend of mine back in 5th grade. We grew apart over the years and lost touch, only occasionally hearing of them from mutual friends. Sadly, they passed away last year, supposedly from an overdose. They were a very talented artist, and I dedicate this final redraw to them.

I had a lot of fun with these drawings, and getting better at practicing shading and color balancing on paper. I definitely want to more of these in the future!

(Oh and if you want to see the originals for reference, let me know)

wait idk if i’m just sleep deprived or what but fnv could be a huge trans allegory hear me out

getting shot by benny is the realisation of who you really are, then you’re dragged out of the grave (reborn as your true self) to go chase benny down (come to terms with and accept yourself as yourself) and all the people and factions you meet are people who can love you or hate you blindly for just existing- your actions can’t change their views, but you can interact with them if you choose

Yo, i’m new to shblr but i thought it’d be time to make an intro post—

no, i’m not posting pictures, that’s uncomfortable for me, i don’t want anyone to see those…

i’m pro-recovery and pro-harm reduction, if you don’t like that, this blog isn’t for you. my main is @acidstrike so you can go there for lighthearted posts.

i’m a frequent sh-er and have ed tendencies, but was never formally diagnosed. i go to therapy and am not religious, due to trauma.

Ok this can’t just be me that feels bad for Alex Kralie because this poor man gets so much hate. He’s scared shitless and doing what he thinks would help. Honestly, he’s done bad stuff, murder isn’t chill and all that, but he’s fuckin terrified. I’m tired of people hating on Slenderverse villains bc they don’t do good things. Yes, Alex Kralie killed people. It’s almost like he’s not a good person. Yes, HABIT is a horrible creature. That’s kinda the whole point. People that say “Alex Kralie fans dni” and “HABIT fans dni” piss me off immensely. They’re my problematic faves and I’ll die on this hill. Piss your pants if you disagree.

Thinking about Handplates-- specifically how close it is to ending. I know I'm just some guy on the internet (aren't we all?) But seeing this comic end is going to be bittersweet. On one hand, I'm hella happy and excited- but on the other, there's still a little kid in me that read it and found comfort in all the angst- If 12 year old me is reading this- I love you. I know it's hard, and I'm proud of you. (Also you're going to kin Gaster but shhhh) But like-- crying at 1:26 in the morning over an Undertale comic wasn't how I wanted to spend my night, but here I am. Here we are.

I sell figurines of fictional characters and occasionally sell mysterious potions that’ll like- summon cthulhu or smth

tumblr isn’t a social media it’s a farmers market and the people you follow are the vendors and your mutuals are regulars and sometimes a person I buy pumpkins from will start selling realistic models of sailboats and damn i’m not gonna buy any but I will come by and compliment you on your sailboats

[acidstrike]

Saying this mostly for myself but I think some others could use the message too.

I love you. No, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t brushed your teeth or cleaned your room. I don’t care what you look like. I choose to care, every single day, and it brings me so much joy and happiness knowing that I get to love so many amazing people. The world is a scary place. Hell, I’m sixteen years old, trans, and I live in the US. That alone means that there’s a lot against me, but I still wake up in the morning and decide “Hey, I’m going to love unapologetically.” because there’s nothing wrong with caring for people, even if you might not know them personally. The idea that men being affectionate with each other implies that they’re romantically involved is stupid. I love my friends and I’ll kiss them goodnight and cuddle them and make them all the delicious food they could ever want. I’d rather stay up every night of my life listening to other people’s problems than lose anyone.

At the end of the day, even at your lowest point, I love you.

Guys today is my blog’s birthday so give the baby some birthday wishes

[acidstrike]

as an avid sims 4 player i’d love to see some of the pack exclusive cas items have base game variants

just stuff like having the nose piercings from eco lifestyle (not even the exact same ones, just like, a nose piercing option) in basegame would be awesomesauce

sure cc exists, and i use it, but some people want a totally vanilla experience and i don’t want to deprive them of that

idk maybe i’m just weird, but it’s like totally doable so idk 🤷

TW⚠️ INVOLUNTARY INSTITUTIONALIZATION, MENTAL HEALTH TALK, AND ME BEING AN ANGRY BITCH

not to be an edgelord on main but i think it’s real funny that i was diagnosed with “oppositional defiance disorder” and “disruptive mood dysregulation disorder” bc like

the circumstances were also absolute shit

like i was being FORCED into a MENTAL HOSPITAL and i was advocating for myself

they give me random ass pills i don’t know? i don’t fucking take them

they try to drug me? i fight back bc duh you dumb bitch that’s what you DO

But NOOOO they had to diagnose me with “probably autistic and an anarchistic little cunt” disorder

[acidstrike]

writing this down bc i have really weird dreams and i almost never remember them

so this dream was from a while ago, and what i can remember is that i was in some sort of weird science museum, like with 3d printed skeletons and anatomical models and diagrams and whatever

it was all very clean and clinical, like white everything

and i remember something was chasing me? so i climbed said 3d printed skeletons, and there were like, whole other floors to the building that otherwise weren’t accessible

i’ll draw it later but that’s the general idea or something

[acidstrike]

[acidstrike]

the most comforting thing to me is the little vest they make you wear when you get x-rays at the dentist
