I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

Four Murasame

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

Oh my god I can’t believe I actually did this! I’ve wanted to cosplay Four for a decade, and it took me absolute literal years to track down the perfect fabric and wig, and then getting to shoot her in such a good location? I’m still screaming inside. My tragic girl of all time.

Guess who I collected yesterday

[surrealcervidae]

I've had this stupid fucking jed drawing sitting in my procreate gallery for like a month and everytime I see it I start giggling so I needed to share it

POV: you grilled him a cheese

[drinker-of-paint]

I kinda just like the idea that sometimes in dark enough shadow a bunch of extra eyes that you cant see otherwise activate like glow in the dark stars

Then he accidentally makes eye contact with someone on the tube or someth who's politely trying not to stare and he just gives them that awkward smile like. Yep hello I know pls dont mind me I promise I'm just on the train

Also I filmed the tape peelies for satisfaction purposes please enjoy

Captain's Log, Stadate: -298330.6

Today I was put in charge of a starship, the USS Riverside. Despite having no prior experience in this position, I was up to the challenge. Unfortunately, my crew failed to arrive as they were blown up by the Borg, so I had to pilot the ship myself. I also had no prior experience as a pilot, so quickly I found myself plummeting towards a Class P planet. I ran to my ready room to try and get help from Starfleet, but comms were cut off by the dueterium rich atmosphere.

Once I had landed rather unsmoothly on the planets surface, I was met face to face with a Gorn which I fought off by throwing a cardboard cutout of James T. Kirk in the opposite direction. I then came across Lieutenant Commander Data, who told me he was stranded here due to being kidnapped by an evil collector who left him for dead once he realized that he posessed consciousness and a desire to be free. I told him about my own ship issues and he promised to work on it so we could return safely home. I continued to trek across the dangerous terrain and ran into the one and only, immortal doctor, Leonard McCoy. I admit, I may have acted a bit unprofessional as I proposed on the spot, but he smacked the ring away from my hands and told me off for not taking the situation seriously. Bravely, I wiped a tear from my eye and led him back to my ship, where we found Data finished with the repairs. All three of us boarded and headed into space again to find our way back home.

Once back on Earth, Starfleet rewarded my heroic efforts by stripping me of my rank and forbidding me from serving on a starship for 6 months. It didn't bother me much as I spent my newly found freetime seeking out a statue of Kirk to apologize to for sacrificing his cardboard brother to the Gorn.

End log.

Here is a deal for anyone interested: In September, I will be participating in the 2024 Fiction Podcast Zine Festival. I am making a zine about the ins and outs of cosplaying podcast characters, including pictures of my own costumes, some interesting stories as well as a beginner's guide to recognizable closet cosplay.

The zine itself will be publicly available. This is where you come in! I want to fill the cover with various fiction podcast characters.

Until the 20th of September, everyone who donates to a person whose message/fundraiser I shared with a 🍉 emoji and sends me confirmation of it gets to add a character of their choosing. Additionally, (with your permission) your name will be displayed on the last page as thanks for your support.

I will try to stick to canon or widely accepted fanon appearances, but you can request specific details. The characters will be hand-painted and in color. Humanoid and non-humanoid characters alike are welcome.

Examples of my work in this style:
