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.

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]

hear me out.

Edd as a scene kid.

that is all.

[acidstrike]

it’s my fuckass best friend’s birthday he knows who he is so i’m just gonna say

bro you’re so cool and awesome and swag and i like hanging out with you even if you’re a sad dork sometimes 😎

[acidstrike]

the masculine urge to cuddle my favs

not even in like a weird way i just like my favs and they’re all traumatized anyways so like

yeah

[acidstrike]

not saying i encourage it but like why is piracy so bad anyways?? i use the metaphor of someone stealing your car in the middle of the night, but when you wake up it’s still in your garage, same as ever

your car is still there, and someone else has a car now, so who’s hurting from it? and if theoretically i’m pirating a video game, my singular purchase of the game isn’t going to drastically change the lives of the people that made it (unless it’s an indie game, in which case you should buy the game the proper way)

[acidstrike]

don’t you hate when you’re having a nice nap and then your dad calls you up and wakes you with 14 different sidequests just because he fuckin can??? like, i’ve got little brothers that are perfectly capable of doing this shit

[acidstrike]

I’m tired and at work hit me with some asks or not idc

[acidstrike]

Currently on a road trip but it’s worth it bc at the end I get Chipotle so yk what I don’t mind sitting in a hot car with my two little brothers (10 and 13 respectively)
