Welcome!

Hello there and welcome to my little page. General disclaimer first and formost- A majority of the OCs posted to this account are horror based, villains or generally just assholes. I don’t support their actions at all. I personally don’t think I should even need to clarify that, it should be obvious :P If there’s anything I post that you think needs a tag or something you’d like tagged in the future, feel free to DM me or send me an ask! 

For those that wish to continue, I hope you enjoy my spooky lil guys 🧡

Aaaaand if you happen to like my art I am very much taking commissions :D Mostly for pixel stuff but we can work something out if you’d like a character drawn. You can see my prices and options below!!

I love seeing how the opinion on shiny Espeon has turned from "Ew, this is a disgusting shiny. why is it oreen" to "this is an alien extraterrestrial this is a ayylamo little gleeby glorb and I love him"

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately that tell dropouts "you can always go back!"

And that's not bad! It's true for a lot of people! You CAN go back later! You can apply to university, you can get your GED, you can pursue whatever level of education you want. It's not bad to share that message. If you dropped out and want to go back eventually, there is zero timeline. You can go back at any age, with any life experience. You do not have to graduate by a specific age.

But as someone who dropped out of college over a decade ago, sometimes "you can always go back!" starts to feel a little like an empty platitude. Sometimes it starts to feel grating instead of hopeful. Even when it might technically be true, sometimes it still feels like a hollow sentiment.

I just want to say, to anyone else out there who feels that way, who dropped out and CAN'T go back, potentially EVER, whether it's due to poverty or disability or any other reason:

It's okay to drop out and never go back. It might feel shitty, and you may even feel grief over it. That's real, and painful, and allowed. But you are not lesser. Even if you never go back, you are not a failure or a loser. Academics do not define your worth. You are not stupid. And it is almost certain that the system actually failed YOU.

With love,

A fellow burnout

A couple people have reblogged this with the comment that it's also okay to be totally confident in the decision to drop out, and to not grieve about it at all. And you know what? Yeah! They're right!

I personally still deal with a lot of grief about how my university career ended, but that's just one experience. I know other people with zero regrets, who talk openly about the ways that dropping out literally saved their lives. Life throws nasty curveballs sometimes.

So, to everyone who dropped out, for whatever reason, and however you feel about it: the educational system is a fucking minefield, but academics don't define your worth, and sometimes dropping out is the only option. Rock on.

i love that sakurai on two separate occasions has been like "what the fuck are those? i dont know. no one knows. they simply are"

I haven't really talked a lot about my "gender journey" or whatever the term one might call like- idk figuring yourself out. But it's June, so I guess it has me thinking about it.

Hi, I'm Olivia/Ollie/Oliver, I identify as genderfluid (any/all) and I'm into men. I'm extremely out and open about my identity online. My irl my family knows, but given the whole "any pronouns" thing they just sorta lean to "default settings" when it comes to addressing me. I don't really mind, they use my chosen name and that's enough for me.

I feel like there's been signs all my life that gender's never really been something that mattered to me. I remember always wanting the "boy" toys at McDonalds, whenever I got Barbies I'd play with their accessories and not the dolls themselves, but I think looking back one of the major egg cracking moments was when I was in middle/high school I was so down awful for two fictional men that I decided I'd make them real by "becoming them", aka dressing like them and taking up habits. Sweet honey baby Olive you didn't know. (My current name is one of their names, that man is still haunting my narrative lmao)

It took me a while to really come to terms with it since at the time I was dating someone who was trying to force me into a mold of "traditional femininity" and I'm lucky I managed to get out while I could. Plus this was in 2017-18 and I feel like the online culture was EXTREMELY hostile towards non-binary genders around that time. It's hard to remember but I think it was around 2019-2020 that I became more sure of how I identified.

But honestly... pride has always been something I've sorta felt distant from. I don't really have any plans of medical transitioning, I don't mind my chest in the slightest, I don't cut my hair really any "gendered" way, mostly I just dress like a cool uncle. I know very well that I'm not "faking" my identity. I know what I am, and I could care less if people think I'm one thing or another. But even still, I've just... felt like an outsider to a degree. Now I know very well that you do not need to get surgery and you do not need to present in any which way to be trans, non-binary, what have you. But even still, it's been something I've personally struggled with for a while. But hey, maybe with this post that'll change a lil bit.

Happy pride everyone. Don't let anyone tell you who or what you are, no one knows you better than yourself.

[annabelle--cane]

sometimes someone I follow falls victim to severe Character delirium to the point where they stop even saying the character's name and just refer to them by an epithet like some kind of malevolent entity whom they don't wish to accidentally summon, so if the sickness sets in quickly enough and I don't pay close attention for a week I'm just Never going to figure Who this bastard haunting my friend Actually Is. and I'll spend months scrolling my dash occasionally seeing appeals to "that fucking horse" or "my evil grub."

A WILD AND WACKY WORLD AWAITS YOU!

Posting art here for the first time in a... goood while. Say hi to a new OC, Craftwork! (He/It, Any/All fine)

More rambling under the cut <3

HOMYGOD this took a while- Most of the background was just me winging the shit outta this not gonna lie. I just went off what I could find of Wacky Pomo (Wacky PostModern) images on pintrest. I think the jank ads to it though.

Craftwork's my first attempt at both a Wacky Pomo styled OC but also a Wacky Pomo piece in general jskdfhksjd I like to think I have a very good grasp on weirdcore and Wacky Pomo feelsssss close, but different.

I wanted to kinda capture both sides of what I feel like 90s-early/mid 2000s graphics sorta looked like to me at the time? Like one one hand you have these overly smooth models in ads or shows but then computer games were these real crusty unshaded things. I usually like to polish the hell outta my pixel art so oogh this hurt a bit kksjdfhsdjk </3

BUT ANYWAYS!!! I'm so beyond happy with how this came out!! Any kinda engagement super apperciated, I think I cooked ;w;
