attack for @conviivial on artfight!

+ speedpaint

I've been playing with paper cutting.

ID: layers of cut paper form a gallifreyan landscape with yellow sky and twin suns in the background, brown hills and red fields and the Citadel in the midground, and dark purple silhouettes of mostly leafless trees and two figures holding hands in the foreground. A few metallic silver leaves fall from the trees. End ID

Chestnut-backed Chickadee - Part 1 I'm working on a series of illustrations - gryphons of the Pacific Northwest! I plan to make a few of them and potentially sell these as prints.

really funny to have a guy in the friend group who you’re going to have to sacrifice later

Being an adult will have you unironically craving a vegetable

[redstonedust]

funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.

BREAKING NEWS: pitiful beast wants the one thing he can't have

[homunculus-argument]

Waking up fuckass early in the morning for no reason at all and getting all your day's errands done before noon is fun until you start feeling like it should be bedtime soon and check what time it is and it's 4 pm.

hello….. do you like fungi and mushrooms…… :)

i love a good fungus and/or mushroom. i don't know a lot about them like, scientifically, but i think they're neat. i found some mushrooms photos i took over the past year or so for your viewing pleasure (there is also a slug)

Second round of artfight attacks!

[acegender]

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

(x, x, x)

Have you seen a Tree Slug (Lehmannia marginata)?

I have seen one in nature

I have seen one in captivity

I have seen a dead one/a taxidermy

I don't know if I've seen one in person

I've only seen photos, never seen in person

I've never heard of this animal

What about the fire is for when your 'what if's are romanticising the unchosen potential that can't be anymore.

Suppose a tree falls on us is for when your 'what if's are catastrophising.

[positivelyqueer]

What about the fire? an excerpt from Terry Pratchett's 'Lords and Ladies':

"Did you ever wonder what life would have been like if you'd said yes?" said Ridcully. "No." "I suppose we'd have settled down, had children, grandchildren, that sort of thing..." "What about the fire?" she said. "What fire?" "Swept through our house just after we were married. Killed us both." "What fire? I don't know anything about any fire!" Granny turned around. "Of course not! It didn't happen. But the point is, it might have happened. You can't say 'if this didn't happen then that would have happened' because you don't know everything that might have happened. You might think something'd be good, but for all you know it could have turned out horrible. You can't say 'if only I'd...' because you could be wishing for anything. The point is, you'll never know. You've gone past. So there's no use thinking about it. So I don't."

Suppose a tree falls on us from A. A. Milne's 'Winnie the Pooh':

"'Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?' 'Supposing it didn't,' said Pooh after careful thought. Piglet was comforted by this.”

Another young Black-capped Chickadee I've been watching learn how to be a bird. There's something really precious about seeing these tiny beings navigate this big world.
