#cory the bear

Rhino Beetle Cory!

I did a commission for a familiar HTS9, starring their animal buddy Cory the bear; with the twist of designing a quick ability concept for Beetle!

I have an absolute soft spot for Kirby's animal buddies, so I absolutely thrive getting to not just draw some fan concepts that I love, but also be given the chance to extend them.

So GOOD

[eyeless-smiles]

BUT ALSO CAIN @murderdeals FOR THE NSFW MEME

How interested they are in having sex with them:

"I feel like sex would calm him down or make him worse. Either outcome is riveting."

How much they would pay (or have to be paid) to have sex with them: 

"The idea of handing him money for sex is hilarious. I'm sure he'd try and gut me for the offence I cause. I might try it, some time."

If they would rather bottom or top them:

"I highly doubt he'd let me top. He's a stubborn old fucker. He probably sees taking it in the ass as an attack on his masculinity."

How good they think they would be:

"Get him riled up, I'm sure he fucks like an animal. As for kinks? He's either hiding some really juicy ones that he ain't explored yet, or he's as vanilla as one can get. I can't get a read on this demon."

If they’d prefer kitchen counter, wall, or shower sex with them:

"I doubt his old bones can handle that kind of adventurous behaviour. "

If they’d fuck, have sex, or make love: 

"We'd fuck. Dirty and meaningless. It's less about the sex for me and more about getting a taste of that unbridled, raw emotion behind those eyes."

If they we're going to make it a threesome, the third person they’d pick:

"I don't like to share. Unless I'm the centre of attention."

If they think there’s ever a possibility that it would happen:

"If he's not feeling murderous, I'm sure I can convince him to fool around."

Looks like Zoru made some new friends! (figuratively and slightly literally!)

I've been told that Zoru made a little spark in the making of new Kirby animal buddy OCs, and I'm like absolutely floored seeing people create stuff because of my silly lil' guy. It is one of the warmest feelings in the world to see something you make be an actual inspiration at any capacity to someone, and I absolutely want to encourage this kind of stuff.

AND THEY'RE SUCH CUTE LIL' GUYS, C'MON NOW. These designs are Cory the bear and Kan Kan the crab from HTS9, as well as Speric_X's Duke the dragon.

Live from 'Saturday Night', It's a Mixed Bag — Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. Warning: This advance review is from the Toronto International Film Festival and contains spoilers. If you’re looking for a good time, look no further because New York’s hottest club is a Jason Reitman movie about Lorne Michaels. This film has everything. Dylan O’Brien in short shorts, one of the kids from Stranger Things, a coked-up man in a bumble bee suit, and a…

Why do I blog?

Journal writing, waste-stream management, construction site updates.

"America has an airline that the public bails out, protects, and subsidizes but has no say over. Boeing has all the costs of public ownership and none of the advantages. It’s the epitome of privatized gains and socialized losses."

"This is why — as Dayen notes — smaller US airlines are so horny for intermarriage. They can’t grow by adding routes, because there are no pilots. Even if they could get pilots, there’d be no slots because there are no air traffic controllers. But even if they could get pilots and slots, there are no planes, because Boeing sucks and Airbus can’t make planes fast enough to supply the airlines that don’t trust Boeing. And even if they could get aircraft, there are no engines because the Big Four aviation cartel cornered the market on working jet engines."

"The US health care system has been in trouble for a long time, but the current nightmare starts with the deregulation of pharma. Pharma companies interbred with one another in a string of incestuous marriages that produced these dysfunctional behemoths that were far better at shifting research costs to governments and squeezing customers than they were at making drugs. The pharma giants gouged hospitals for their products, and in response, hospitals underwent their own cousin-fucking merger orgy, producing regional monopolies that were powerful enough to resist pharma��s price-hikes. But in growing large enough to resist pharma profiteering, the hospitals also became powerful enough to screw over insurers. Insurers then drained their own gene pool by combining with one another until most of us have three or fewer insurers we can sign up with — companies that are both big enough to refuse hospital price-hikes, and to hike premiums on us.

Thus monopoly begets monopoly: with health sewn up by monopolies in medical tech, drugs, pharmacy benefit managers, insurance, and hospitals, the only easy targets for goosing profits are people"

Jane Lynch Plays Yet Another Therapist in 'A.C.O.D.'

WRITER’S NOTE: This interview took place back in 2013. Who doesn’t love Jane Lynch? We see her everywhere these days either as Sue Sylvester on the hit show “Glee” or hosting the NBC game show “Hollywood Game Night.” Lynch is an endlessly talented actress who never fails to give a tremendously entertaining performance in anything she does. While we may not have recognized her right away as a…
