#finally got time to draw something for myself

[thefaiao]

Interesting year. I find myself thinking about the future a lot now. I think we've arrived at a breaking point for social media. Sure it was getting bad before, I got that much, but I think it is finally actually coming apart at the seams. I still enjoy tumblr because the people here are now a little older than when I first used it at the peak of its popularity, and therefore a little wiser and with more interesting things to say overall. The lack of younger talent does hurt it a fair bit. Twitter's been complicated for a long time. I remember when I first started focusing heavily on it in 2017 it felt like a cool place to be, and I think that still kind of carries it to this day. I think the biggest detractor for Bluesky is that it just feels lame. It's just twitter again, the same mistakes, the same everything, but more controlled. Maybe that's exactly what people want, but as someone who isn't from the USA it doesn't feel that appealing. Maybe more and more it is harder for people with interesting non-UScentric things to say to find a place to organize in social media. "Freaks" is a good term. Bluesky just feels like twitter but with no freaks, to me. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm willing to eat my words on this but I think other freaks like me probably share the same sentiment. It really would be nice to have something new and cool. I end up finding myself at a crossroads where none of the options make sense. Ended up spending a few years not engaging much with twitter or tumblr, basically just getting my shit together, then had a great year this year with a lot of drawing. Now I'm not sure what's next. I have made great friends and use Discord plenty, but there's something about a public forum that I desire. I wish I had my game ready already so I didn't have to worry as much. It'd be easier to platform myself and perhaps at least toss my hat into the ring to make things better. Make another site? Just one more site bro please? Just one more? It does sound a bit delusional. But even then there must be a way to get something better. I believe there is something better than what we have right now, there just has to be, and I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that.

📢HTTYD OCTONAUTS AU ALERT📢

Kwazii the Pirate in all his glory!

Hi! Sorry I haven't posted much, I'm not much of social creature myself, but I finally got motivation to draw something for the Httyd Au. Anyways sense I'm here, I've come to yap your heads off! >:)

Meet Kwazii! An energetic viking who loves dragons just as much as his fellow Octonauts! He can be stubborn, trying to take charge without help but he means well. He'd do anything for his friends and family and of course dragons! He's second in command to Cheif Barnacles, and is dang proud of it!

Here's some facts and a few relationships he has with a few of the others:

• He has a pet cat named Kwazii the 2th

• Hes really likes listening to the stories from Inkling, who is technically their retired chief.

• He likes to go out and collect shiny things in his spare time.

• He has a prosthetic arm, created by Tweak.

• He, as well as all the other Octonauts have Masks that look like their respective dragons but also in the shape of the animals they originally are in the actual show.

• As for some relationships I've come up with is that: He and the twins seen to get along, sense they believe all his crazy stories and they look up to him like a big brother. He thinks Snotlout is a bit annoying but his heart is in the right place, as long as he's not a jerk about it. He thinks Astrid is one off the coolest warriors and looks up to her like a big sister of sorts. He gets along well with Fishlegs, liking too listen to all the knowledge on dragons he has collected, and go collect shiny rocks together when needing to feed dragons (You and I both know Kwazii's hording those rocks). As for Hiccup, he thinks he's a fine leader, and finds his braver admirable.

And that's about all I can think of for now, I hope you like it! ☆

i went plinking yesterday for the first time and had a lot of fun, I've been wanting to familiarize myself w my airsoft gun more since it's hard to find a good secluded spot where u don't have a risk of ppl walking by.

we just hung a tin can from a tree branch and shot it from different distances, but it was very satisfying to pick it up that quick 🌝 i also love getting ppl to try something they don't usually do and learn with you.
