Queer Adult. If I'm posting about it, talk to me about it! Same URL on A03. Reblogs are great but please do not repost.

I wanted to ask if you gave the tiktok user @yellowviridian permission to use your comic?

They provided credits which is how I found you, but I just wanna be 100% sure since I've already asked them if the creators od the art they post consent and they didnt give me an answer😅

Thank you for asking!

To answer your question, no. No one has asked for permission to repost any of my recent comics/fanart.

While I don't love not having control over how my art is presented on other platforms, I'm aware that it allowed you to discover me here! So a direct link to my tumblr blog is most preferred when it comes to artist credit, but any credit is preferable to no credit at all.

Here are my general permissions for various platforms:

Tumblr - This is my home and your reblogs and tags mean the world to me. Please do not repost. I love you. I have the same handle on Ao3. Bluesky - Not active, will cross post on request/in batches Instagram - Not active, will cross post on request YouTube - Transformative works (dubs) allowed with credit Twitter/Xitter - DO NOT repost my art here 📵 Basically everywhere else - Reposts or transformative works (dubs) allowed with credit.

Mostly it's a bummer that there's probably comments and reactions to my art out there that I will never get to actually see. So THANK YOU for coming to find me!!!

DEFINITELY report/block/starve anyone on any platform who is:

using a known artist's handle/claiming to be someone they aren't

claiming, copying, or editing art that isn't theirs

erasing signatures/credits from art

blocking users who ask them to credit stolen art

actively profiting from/monetizing stolen art

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist...

This is inspired by @mothloss' mermaid AU, Still Waters Run Deep! I went a little off-script with the design but please check out their original fic and art, it's soooo charming.

Close-up for details. :)

hi, i'm really excited for your bloodymary fic! i did want to ask a question about the hematophagy aspect you mentioned, though. as i've never read fic involving it, i was wondering if it gets close to cannibalism description-wise? just so i know in advance what i might be getting into and prepare accordingly. thank you for reading, and feel free to ignore this message if you'd prefer or if it'll be too spoilery!

Hmmm... I think if someone doesn't mind the canon stuff (meburgers/the blood-slurping scientist in SM-8) or modern vampire media, then this fic should be pretty similar.

Nothing in the story craves human flesh specifically, but there will be occasional descriptions of biting, eating, drinking, and/or swallowing various substances, including blood and blood-adjacent things.

I will try to tag appropriately whenever I post art or update, so if there are any tags I should consider using in advance or that I've missed, please let me know!

Sink Your Teeth In on AO3

"The starvation-predation hypothesis (SPH) posits that, during food shortages, the risk of starvation requires prey to forego antipredator behavior to increase feeding rates. Such shifts in antipredator behavior may further increase the risk of predation."

Grace finished his math and flitted his eyes over the formulas, checking for errors. The result had him pretty confident that Rocky would wake up before it was too late to check out the anomalous blip. Satisfied, he acknowledged the alert and silenced it for the next six hours. Mary would only re-alert him if something new appeared or the blip suddenly changed trajectory or speed.  

Grace flopped back in the pilot chair and looked over at the window in the side of the cockpit. It pointed in the same direction as the cupola downstairs, and  Grace found himself staring at the binary stars again. A bright blue-white dwarf and its dimmer red-gold mate, quietly dancing and switching sides every few days as they orbited their primary star together. The odd pair. The dancing couple.

As far as Grace knew, they were reflecting off the retinas of the only creature who could sense light within about 15 light years.

Had a lot of gifs and screenshots in my likes so I did some PHM drawings from references today.

The shit post compilations especially have the best no-context expressions, so thank you for those.

"Go on, Doctor Grace... show him how hungry you really are."

[dotstronaut]

Omll !! I love your character interpretations and its so rare to find bloodymary fits thatre more book based, do you think theres like ,,, an estimate on when you'll publish your fic? :]

I draw/write in my spare time around a full time job, but hopefully I will be posting very soon! I am very motivated to get it started already so I can share even more of the art I've drawn. :)

I have a friend visiting next week, so my goal is to publish the first chapter by this weekend (July 11-12) so y'all have something to chew on sooner rather than later.

[dotstronaut]

mom's not home, quick, doodle bloodymary saying lines from Xena: Warrior Princess!!

[dotstronaut]

opinion on strawberries?

Pretty good, but I personally enjoy raspberries the most!

Do you think there's any astronaut meals that include jam/preserves? ... hmmmm

Oh HELL yeah.

[dotstronaut]

second attack for art fight! snuck a second character with similar pupils into a revenge >:3c

this literally looks different on every screen i own so if it’s just a blob of neon green for you… i’m sorry, i did my best.

[dotstronaut]

As an aside, I have gone back and tagged the posts related to the post-Erid meet ugly + language barrier, which is a separate concept that I may explore again at some point:

The Man From Mars AU

[dotstronaut]

So, bc im a little confused, there's not a fic yet but one being worked on? Or is it possible im missing it, i went to your AO3 and found only good omens. I'm so sorry, i looked through the more recent posts to see if i could find my answer but im still lost. Help?

Sorry for the confusion, I'm still working on it! Anyone who wants to make sure not to miss any art or fic updates can follow the Sink Your Teeth In AU tag on tumblr!

I will post it on AO3 as soon as I have the intro chapter finished. I wrote a chunk of it before doing some light research into space travel and uh... I have now revised the outline so I can hit the intended story beats without entirely breaking the laws of physics. Since bloodymary can vary a lot, here's what to expect:

Predator/Prey dynamics

Pilot Simon Agenda

Bad first impressions/Meet-ugly

Grace gets to experience the horrors

The power of friendship (and Rocky)

Woops I can't believe it's not sexual attraction

No religious themes or nicknames

Near-Erid Food/Vitamin Shortage

Simon is a... plant?

Grace is a... ??????

Specific factors/content warnings under the cut (vague spoilers):

Disordered Eating & Vitamin Deficiencies

Potential/Actual Hematophagy

Alien-blood-induced Hallucinations & Delusions

[dotstronaut]

Been thinking about the circumstances that tend to cause Simon to act out, and what the perfect storm of circumstances would be to make him and Grace like each other as LITTLE as possible. :) At first.

[dotstronaut]

I got my first attack on art fight and as soon as I saw Sabina I had to return the favor immediately...

[dotstronaut]

“High value object! Exchange!” Grace would sigh in relief if he could. Rocky fix, always. The stranger makes a move toward the pendant and Rocky inches backward. He shakes his body no, and points a spare claw at Grace. 

“Oh.” The stranger says. “You want this guy.” Rocky enthusiastically nods.

“Affirmative noise. You pick up faster than Grace did.”

“You- you understand me?” Read the fic: Doesn't matter what dreams come true - mushyrice

[dotstronaut]

More art! This is for an interaction in Chapter Three.

I wanted to wait and post the last couple of sketches too but it might take me a full Eridian year to actually finish them... You can make a lot of drawings with just a few lines of dialogue.

[dotstronaut]

New profile picture because it's almost art fight time!

Two of these characters aren't even posted yet lol but I got Diana and Johnny up today.

[dotstronaut]

Updated card because I decided to take out a character I didn't have enough art for. But I successfully added my lad Tank, werebeast Johnny, and Diana my vampire hunter for this year's Art Fight!

[dotstronaut]

I needed another good illustration of Tank so I could get him uploaded to artfight and I'm obsessed with him. He's so hard to draw but when I get him right he's SO RIGHT.
