My artfight profile
I've been really off all day since finding out Oliver Tree has died. I liked his music and his absurd presentation even more so. Weird as hell, unafraid to make himself into a clown, experimental and always fresh: unique creativity the world needs.
The music videos he directed are genuinely some of my favorites. They're all absolutely ridiculous yet imo have an aura of genuine love for creation and art which is what ultimately drew me in.
It's also been bizarre in a reassuring way to see so much open talk about collective disenfranchised grief and what his loss in particular means for art and culture. I'm glad he was here and inspired me.
Hard to pick a favorite, but this one stands strong for me
Tree's death is still on my mind and seems to have poked open a lot of different thoughts in me. There is often a social stigma around grief for someone you didn't know personally. But I've also been seeing mass shared unreality thanks to said grief. Tree was a genuinely good artist and human.
By unreality I mean the shock of the accident paired with Tree's record of eccentric jokes. Myself, obviously his fans, and even most of his personal friends reported experiencing disbelief when first finding out, then struggling to accept reality. It's incredibly heart breaking and sobering.
Ultimately: be curious and good to one another. Cherish art and life. And be kind to yourself and when seeing others in mourning someone you dont think they "have a place" to mourn- disenfranchised grief is normal and above all, a human expression of our interconnection.
Freak solidarity, man.

Saw someone else make a Jerma pet and was inspired
@bluvioletbird OH my god you're the one who made it. My partner showed it to me and it made me so happy I had to make one of my own. Everyone go look at their Jerma right now they're the one who inspired this
I'm glad Cesare likes him
Genuinely the highlight of this post is the countless people commenting in shock asking if that's Mr. Cesare Bigtop Burger and yes it is. I put him in a shotgun marriage with my oc and they accidentally had a gay punk daughter
if i ever wrote a character that was not meant to be eggy but the girls started telling me she's 100% a trans girl i wouldn't be saying "art is subjective, though He wasn't written with that intention" or any of that bullshit, i'd be saying "woohoo", "fuck yes", "this is the best thing to ever happen to me" and things of similar nature
One of the weird coincidences around Kalma's death: merely hours before she told me it was her time, we were called to and agreed to take in this tiny malnourished cat that was dumped. Yet unnamed, but I've wanted an affectionate long haired black cat for years. She claimed me immediately.
She was found by a local who does TNR two hours after their neighbors noticed strangers hanging around their apartment, right before a big rainstorm. She has no street smarts at all, possibly the most unafraid of human cat I've met so far. My friend thinks she was dumped upon entering her first heat
With shelters full up she was going to be released to the street, so TNR person was trying to avoid that. Her affection, malnutrition, tiny size... I doubt she'd last.
No one can ever replace my Kalma. But with all the strangeness, I've taken this as a gift or comfort from the divine
Signing that consent form was the hardest thing I've ever done. But we gave Kalma the Good Death; avoiding undue suffering, filled with treats, head in my hand as I felt her final breath. She started to develop pleural effusion (water in lung) as an effect of her cancer.
2011-2026, my forever kitten
Working with death so closely for so long, I sensed her upcoming death in October 2025. We were given time to prepare. The ridiculous amount of spiritual coincidences I've had relating to this the past months have been utterly surreal, but in a way a gift for allowing me to care for her better.
Even her name- Kalma- means "smell of a rotting corpse". When she passed, her bowels relaxed (this is normal) and the scent of active decay (not... normal) told us she'd gone. Horrid, but to me, in a way reassuring and appropriate. Ive feared this for years yet it ended as a release of tension.
Death has so much to teach you if you are brave enough to listen and look upon it- not shun it away. I've held her body, cleaned the death purge from her nose, and even the croak of air running through her vocal cords as I later moved her for rest was a gift. I got to hear her one last time.
We often allow terminal ends to needlessly draw out suffering, then rush the aftercare. Both an inhumanity. Both traumatic. Allowing yourself time with the body- multiple days with help of cold storage- to look at death as it naturally is is a genuine cure for grief, a gift, an expression of love.
Kalma was by my side since my teens. An unwanted, almost feral barn kitten. She sliced my hand open, making me determined to catch her and creating a running joke of having a blood pact with her. She ended up loving me as hard as I loved her. Untrusting of most, but my personal shadow.
Her body has one more leg of adventure before her story truly ends. I'm unashamed of how much I love her and how grateful I am for her hard won trust, comfort, patience, and now the final gifts she's given me in death.
It is painful, but look death in the face. There is something softer behind.
i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes
protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later
And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"
We helped my Kalma pass today. I took care of her. I am utterly broken
Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"
[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext
Them: So you're saying its bad and I shouldn't watch it?
Me: I mean depends on your tolerance for this type of racism, but like I said it's my favourite show, it def has some great parts if you're up for it.
Them: Oh so it's not racist.
Me: It absolutely is.
Them: So you're saying racism is ok??
Me: No.
I was so unprepared to see Waite offer a fucking baby weed I feel like I've been kicked in the chest
I am drawing the biggest blank on what your icon is from and it's driving me crazy. It was a music video, right?
Yup! Don't Go Phantom by Jookabox. I dubbed him "eyepatch kid" over a decade ago. As far as I'm aware he doesn't have an official name.
