The Fool.

My revenge on @fallenaither.

Void attacked me with such a wonderful Vasya as the Hanged Man, I was instantly inspired to fire back at it with some tarot Apollyon! And the Fool felt fitting. With a splash of the Tower in the background.

seeing news about the fallout remaster announcement feels like cruel irony to me

microsoft games are a bds boycott target, and because both bethesda + obsidian are owned by microsoft, this includes the games published by them.

microsoft is gonna further profit from a new virtual playground of ~post-apocalyptic bombed out towns in the desert~ while contributing to creating bombed out apocalyptic conditions in gazan towns, by collaborating with israel on so many fronts that bds calls microsoft the most complicit company in palestinian genocide.

and nostalgia-baited fans will still buy it bc playing pretend in a virtual world thats a knockoff of what real life people are currently facing – a virtual world funded by that very suffering of those real life people – is more important to them than simply playing a different game

anyway, to make this rant productive – if you have the means to send donations to palestine, heres some community initiatives:

Mona’s community aid initiative – verified by el-shab-hussein

The Sameer Project – has a british partner org, so UK folks can donate with gift aid here with no transfer fees

Revive Gaza Farmlands – has a canadian partner org, so canadians can donate via direct bank transfers with no transfer fee

Crips for eSims for Gaza – canda-based, so canadian e-transfers saves on transaction fees

this disability pride month lets be kinder to folks with moral ocd . no more “if you really care about this minority , you’ll reblog this post” , “someone will die if you don’t reblog this” , etc etc , and all other kinds of guilt tripping reblog bait . at the VERY LEAST tag your reblog bait so we can filter it out and avoid unnecessary spirals . it’s 2026 , we need to move past using guilt to get engagement .

I made some Bug Fables-themed Nonograms puzzles!

I've been getting crazy big into Nonograms lately, and thought it would be fun to try and make some of my own puzzles! My pipe-dream ambition is to make a Bug Fables Nonograms game (ala UFO 50 Nonograms, which is a masterpiece check it out), but in the meantime you can have these

If anyone actually gives these a shot, please let me know and show me!! They're not particularly difficult, but I'd love to hear what you think! There's a nice background version and a blank version to save ink if anyone wants to print it off.

(Below cut: supplementary material. Like many nonograms games there's an actual image attached to each puzzle, and I also want to have little bits of dialogue you unlock after each puzzle from Team Snakemouth. I really like writing them and thought it would be a fun exercise =])

Leif: Ah. The cutest of the seedling family.

Vi: Come on, Leif, we talked about this. The cutest seedling is the Cactiling.

Leif: We all have some bad opinions.

Leif: They have such an adorable round body, with those little feet. Isn’t it so endearing how their leaves drape over their face like hair?

Vi: You know what has a rounder body? And littler feet? A CACTILING. Plus it has all those awesome spikes!

Leif: ‘Awesome’ is not the same as ‘cute.’ Besides, it’s not about having the most extreme features, it’s about having the right balance. Cactilings are trying too hard.

Kabbu: (I think Plumplings are cuter…)

Vi: Oh, eugh.

Kabbu: Not a tea fan, Vi?

Vi: Heck no, not this kind. It’s crazy syrupy, makes me feel like I’m drinking medicine.

Leif: …Isn’t it? Isau’s always recommending it whenever Kabbu’s in for another elytra fracture.

Kabbu: C-calling me out!?

Vi: No wonder this stuff’s garbage. Nothing tasty ever comes out of the doctor’s office.

Leif: Except for the lollipops?

Vi: Except for the lollipops.

Team Snakemouth was planning a trip, but they seem to have gotten lost somewhere along the way!

Joining in on Art Fight this year on Team Tragedy! Still working on getting some of the pages for my OCs cleaned up, but everything’s mostly ready!

"erm! actually! I'm not comfortable calling people it/its! it just makes me uncomfortable I feel dirty and icky and mean! why not just use they/them? sending love!" doesn't feel good reading once. reading it 12000 times on 4 different posts? fucking explode. leave it/it's users alone. you really don't have to share that someones chosen pronouns makes you uncomfortable. you sound like a transphobe.

Making Found Footage Pride Flags to scare the TERFs and bigots!!

[valdevia]

More of them!

[valdevia]

A few more!

Pride Month PSA: these images are all free to use! I always get asked around this time of year so I thought I'd make it clear in writing! Feel free to download, post them around, make them into profile pics, banners etc.

Go wild, and happy Pride!

[fallenaither]

I didn’t really get around to making any pride art last year, so I wanted to get something put together this time around!

One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.

I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

Get woke. Love bugs.

EDIT: this breached containment. My usual like count is like 5 😭 i want to clarify i mean people who conflate fear with hate are the ones who wont care about saving our planet, like people who threaten to kill peoples pet bugs or actively kill bugs outside for no apparent reason. Not people who run away from a bee.

I did it! I’ve drawn some Kabbu’s!

Perhaps not the most challenging to some, but I’m still working on my art skills so getting him just right took longer then I’d hoped…

…but he’s here now! The best boi! ❤️

I have once again drawn Leif from Bug Fables.

I am… incredibly normal about him. Couldn’t you tell?
