[captainstarburst]

hey! my name is nix or starburst/starb!! i use he/him, love/loves, and star/stars pronouns (she/her also if we're close!) i'm also 21 and mixed native american/two-spirit. i’m an artist and an aspiring animator/cartoonist with a passion for the characters and stories i make! this is my main blog, so the stuff i post here is a lot more loose- just whatever i like really, about myself or my interests or whatever else i feel like talking about. id highly recommend reading through my carrd if you’d like to know more about me!

i block liberally and generally do not want to interact with bigots, anyone romanticizing abuse, anyone who uses the r slur, or christians. this blog is not nsfw, but i would prefer that those who specifically follow me are 16+ for my own personal comfort. don't send asks/message me about discourse, please. thanks!

i make a lot of text posts and i reblog a large variety of things. if that's not your thing, you should follow my art blog @starsweets if you only want to see my art! you can also check out my oc-focused blog @gr1evance to learn more about my characters and writing, or even to shoot me a question about it- i adore talking about my ocs!!

i have commissions open as well, if you feel like supporting me! i also have a ko-fi, if you'd prefer just to tip.

thanks for stopping by!! check under the read more for some extra information, or feel free to just keep scrolling! have a great day!!

i'm my fursona in real life, he's the guy in my icon! there's a bunch of different versions of him that are all me, and he's a big important part of my identity, so you'll probably see me talk about him semi regularly. i'm also married to my awesome fictional anthro snake husband!

art on the sides is by @apotheoseity, art in the middle is by @555bunnies!

i'm gay and also objectum with a big interest in specifically pool toys and planes. i'm a big enjoyer of music (my favorite band is ROAR!), fursuiting, and various streamers and video games. feel free to ask me about any of it!

i'm autistic, various kinds of mentally ill, and generally just a bit weird, and sometimes it leaks into what i post. this is just a heads up, but i also like being vocal about it because i love finding other people like me!

just as a note- i'm kind of weird about liking posts and i generally won't like stuff unless it's for me/asks i've sent. it's nothing personal i'm just strange LOL

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

ngl i kinda hate the woke 2.0 and friend that's too woke "jokes" because any bigotry that is normalized enough will have you get dismissed as "the friend that's too woke" for calling it out. like i've seen people called wokescolds and shit for saying it's bad to use mental disorders as an insult. it's basically a way to tell you that it's ruining the optics to point out bigotry or to justify being bigoted since it's to the "right targets"

[krookiecookie]

also it's so unfortunately ironic how racism is downplayed in these ways when the term woke is literally AAVE that got bastardized

[krookiecookie]

being woke is just an aesthetic for so many people and you can really see it in their worldview

“Do Dead Malls Go To Heaven?”

Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes 💖

[aardciaga]

[aardciaga]

+our concepts we submitted to the city, bc i love seeing how they are realized in person side by side and how things change, excited to share final projects when we gt done all three. meow.

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

[captainstarburst]

everyone... i know it comes from a place of good intentions but you HAVE to be careful sharing piracy sites publicly its like the number 1 way they get found out and shot down. you can say like hey wink wink nudge nudge i know a site for that you can DM me for it. but that link has to stay on the down low you GOTTA be careful who you're showing it to

some good news is that someone keeps ddosing kiwifarms for the past few weeks and their provider is so small that it doesn’t have enough skill/resources to stop it from happening

[t4timekeeper]

the whole discourse behind the original post being dunked in water is so astronomically silly. “people are just making ocs for their own enjoyment and not doing anything Productive with them >:(” why are you mad about this. who cares. yelling at clouds

[t4timekeeper]

“if you’re making turnarounds and concept art and storyboards and plot outlines that don’t eventually become a finished polished story or ip then what’s the point :/” i think the act of creation is a beautiful thing that brings people joy even when it doesn’t ‘amount’ to anything marketable. also is it your first day on god’s earth

[sapphling]

it's not the biggest issue but why does everyone insist on acting like they've never seen a birthmark ever in their whole life and they're going to fucking explode if you don't explain why your body looks like that to them immediately

[sapphling]

you are going to meet a lot of different people with different looking bodies than yours and the reasons will range from things like birthmarks to disabilities to potentially deeply traumatic incidents. in general a good rule of thumb is that if you aren't familiar enough with that person for them to have volunteered any info then it really isn't something that you need to know, let alone loudly point out to them and others. other people's bodies are not a mystery for you to solve 👍

i like them being his weed stash. theyre fine they like being smoked

[sawed-on-shotgun]

i am of the sincere belief that if ur on ur computer a lot you should visually customize it to high hell and back not just for funsies but also because it has literally made me less depressed before. its kind of like how rearranging your bedroom is good for your brain, yknow. i do stuff like this every few months

[sawed-on-shotgun]

and if anyone wants to follow suit

LIVE WALLPAPER: wallpaper engine. only thing on here that costs any money (its like 5 bucks on steam). im sure theres free alternatives but this one has a lot of presets and stuff so its less hassle and its what i use. might be a bad idea for lower end pcs tho

CUSTOM TASKBAR: retrobar on github (lots of different options)

CUSTOM CURSOR: theres a lot of places to find these, but rw-designer open cursor library is a good place to start

DISCORD: betterdiscord, im using the clearvision v7 theme with a custom background

EXTENSIONS (these are for firefox, might or might not exist on other browsers):

tabliss for the new tab theme

stylus for tumblr -> specifically the 'tumblr - custom dashboard pallette' theme for colors + bg, and this for the pre-twitterifcation layout

enhancer for youtube for custom youtube colors

the browser theme is just one i found on the firefox theme 'store'
