Hello There!!

Welcome to my dusty corner of the World Wide Web! My name is Basil (he/they), and I'm glad to have you here! :•)

Right now, most of my time is spent at uni studying to become a climate scientist (impeccable timing...) Though in my free time I love to draw, embroider, and knit! I also love to read up on and study plants and fungi whenever I get the chance. 🧡

Please respect that my blog is 18+. I don't post any explicit imagery, however, I do post suggestive content and rants on adult topics occasionally. I don't feel comfortable with children being exposed to this content.

My commissions are currently open for hand-embroidered goods! Below are some examples of my work. Please note, the price of custom embroidery can vary depending on a variety of factors.

I can make lots of things, including patches, hair clips, and wall-hanging hoops. However, I will not take any commissions that are large in size. I will not hesitate to deny any commission based on its content.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (my DMs are open on both Tumblr and Instagram) :•)

Thank you for stopping by!

1. Eating meat is morally neutral 2. There are many ethical ways butchering has been practiced for a long time 3. factory farming is unethical due to the abuse faced in the animal's life, not bc it results in the animal's death 4. Ethically raised and sourced meat is expensive and/or hard to find in many places 5. *there are people who CANNOT subsist on a plant based diet* for varied reasons, largely disabled folks - (allergies/GI disorders that already limit what a person can eat, people in recovery from restrictive eating disorders, people with ARFID and other sensory processing disorders) and people with little money and time on their hands to cook. 6. Vegans who are adamant about animal rights often have a major blind spot as to human rights abuses; the meatpacking industry is terrible for those who work in it, yes, but people are laboring hard for your grains and produce too, often in unethical conditions and for little pay, and Vegans will treat you like you're doing some kinda "gotcha" and spit vitriol at you whenever you point this out 7. It is not Wrong to eat only plant based certainly but when people start acting like it gives them a moral highground it shows starkly how little regard for fellow humans these people have 8. Just because YOU are disabled/broke/etc and can sustain veganism does not give you permission to harass somebody who says their disability or finances prevent it 9. The most ethical way to eat, if you can achieve it, is by buying things with a short supply chain that were grown locally by properly-paid laborers

dorohedoro side characters are always like ‘my name is ham and cheese sandwich and everybody in the whole world has hated me since the day i was born’ and their design looks like 3-day-old roadkill wearing a gas mask and 4 belts and a feather boa and brand new nikes. and theyre awesome.

“On a day like this, when the fiddleheads are unfurling and the air is petal soft, I am awash in longing. I know that “thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s chloroplasts” is good advice and yet I must confess to fullblown chlorophyll envy. Sometimes I wish I could photosynthesize so that just by being, just by shimmering at the meadow’s edge or floating lazily on a pond, I could be doing the work of the world while standing silent in the sun. The shadowy hemlocks and the waving grasses are spinning out sugar molecules and passing them on to hungry mouths and mandibles all the while listening to the warblers and watching the light dance on the water.”

Idk guys I think it can be simultaneously true that it is deplorable to only care about the Iran war, not because of the murder of children and the destruction of cultural institutions, but because of gas prices AND that gas prices are fucking a lot of impoverished and working class people over

Yk I thought that people were wilding a bit when they said that Shinigami Eyes is the discourse machine now but I installed it and looked at the "transmisogyny" and "transandrophobia" tags and. Oh my god wow

Lightning round!

I couldn't miss an opportunity to make epic geological phenotypes for eridians:D them rocks will look fly as hell on my watch!

Nerding out under the cut:)

For those interested, the igneous phenotype is inspired by granitic pegmatites, with hexagonal beryl crystals growing from it (of the aquamarine variety)

The sedimentary fella is a BIF, or a banded iron formation - a type of chemical sedimentary rock recording the years following the Great Oxygenation Event, with alternating bands of red jasper and magnetite/iron oxides:)

And the metamorphic eridian is inspired by an amphibolite, containing garnet gem porphyry:)

*also cue the geology pun on the cup;]
