💫⚡️PINNED POST⚡️💫

Hi, call me Lightning!! She/they. I'm a streamer and a sometimes artist who has a deep love for animation and has been in fandom for most of my life at this point. My hyperfixations vary, so don't expect any sort of consistency on this blog. I am also very much an adult, and while I keep things mostly SFW on here, I will occasionally reblog or talk about more suggestive topics, so please exercise caution if you're a minor.

I'm a pretty chill dude and very open to making friends, so feel free to chat whenever!

Current hyperfixations:

Final Fantasy XIV

Sonic the Hedgehog

Other fandoms:

FNAF Daycare Attendant fandom

Invader ZIM

Stardew Valley

Yugioh Duel Monsters

Yuri!!! On Ice

Undertale

Portal

Star Trek TOS

Promare

VRChat

Buy me a Ko-Fi!

Watch me stream my FFXIV adventures on Twitch!

Think again

For those curious, I was at Momocon 2026 in Atlanta Georgia this last weekend! It was a blast to see a lot of my dearest friends and experience some classic convention chaos (I’ve only been to one really small convention over a decade ago) so it was so much fun!

I got to see a LOT of awesome cosplays, cool booths in artist alley, and I even joined some workshops and learned how to do kandi crafts! Absolutely going to see if I can make tfc stuff with all the pony beads I have

It’s something I’ll definitely be attending next year— super excited to see where The Freak Circus is as a fandom then, I’ll be keeping my eyes out for any fan meetups and photoshoots! :D

We’re on our way home and I’m sad to go, but I’m energized to get started on projects again <3

I’m a character artist. I’m used to painting skin and hair and clothes... soft textures, basically. I found out the hard way that this approach does not work for rocks. Unless you want them to look like weirdly shiny flesh blobs instead 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s why I try to practice rendering other surfaces from time to time. These were drawn for last month’s challenge on painting gems and colorful rocks!

If you like drawing challenges, join us! We’re studying underwater lighting, which is perfect for those of you who are also doing MerMay. Check it out here!

This one was so fun to paint! I thought I'd be taking a break from star themed stuff after spending waaaay too much time on the Star Projector Kickstarter but somehow I just ended up back to painting stars anyway lol

Like always, the HD image, hours long art videos, and PSD files will be DMed on Patreon on the 5th of each month. For now you can check out this short time lapse :)

I've recommended this one before, but for all the non-human vertebrate likers out there... the art of animal drawing

The first photos are coming in from Artemis II, and they are stunning. Photos of our home planet from humans we are sending further than anyone has gone before.

And now two more. The first of which being taken by Commander Reid Wiseman just minutes from the other Blue Marble picture seen above, showcasing the effect of different camera setting on space photography. Pictures of our home, where all but four of us are looking up from.

Honest to god I could write entire books on the fucked up little micro societies that exist solely in isolated gmod servers

[spooks-burgerton]

my buddy and I were crawling some servers on gmod one day, just dinking around and being mild nuisances. we found one server where everyone had some ridiculous rank/title–various mythical creatures and wizards and stuff. We bothered someone badly enough (probably made a big mess of barrels or something) that we got put in jail, but we weren’t really interested in playing gmod as much as just goofing off, so we hung around the server for a while. the residents were chatting pretty casually, until someone, in a frantic tone, says “Janus is coming! We need to get this place cleaned up!” Janus logs in, and he has the title of God. Someone sheepishly asks “hey what’s up Janus?” Janus replies with an ear-splittingly loud buzzing static noise that drowns every sound on the server out. me and my buddy absolutely lost our minds
