There are probably more that'll join the list as time goes on here. I like discovering new stuff. I'm a neurodivergent queer fellow and I like to write and make art. Sometimes that's making graphics like my header here, other times it's rough sketches and fun doodles. I might post some of that here at some point and have fun with that. As far as writing goes, I've mainly been a fanfic writer but I might dive into some script writing at some point.

Ask box is always open for requests and questions and general tomfoolery. (Anons are tentatively on right now and I reserve the right to turn them off at any point.) I use the block button liberally as a means of curating my online experience.

And as a general rule since this has become a frequently asked question, if you find a character I have created to be attractive, you are allowed to say smash unless stated otherwise.

THIS IS COOL AS FUCK !!!

"Fictional characters aren't real people" and "the way real people speak about / depict fictional characters can be indicative of real life biases, bigotry and personal issues" SHOULD be statements that exist side by side.

Love when artist just draw Rocky like this. Reminds me a lot of our favourite ray of armoured plate sunshine.

On Anton's first gig with Milo:

Anton: I... do not think I am cut out for this.

Milo: What? Why not?

Anton: I do not have... what is known as an "intimidating" nature.

Milo: ...

Milo: Dude, you look like a fuckin Mastiff compared to my Corgi ass, I think you're good.

And boy are they clumsy

hydrangeafae

Hi, these bees are babies! They’re not clumsy at all, this is what is called orientation flights. After birth and before beginning their careers as foragers (as all Honey bees cycle through all the jobs in the Hive throughout their lifespan), Honey bees take short flights back and forth, to and from the Hive, to orient themselves with their wings and their home so they can learn its location and how to get back home after foraging! Everyone has to learn, these are just smol little baby turkeys. Bees use the angle of the sun for location so adults have a better and more direct sense of location than any human

IM SO PLEASED TO LEARN THIS!!!

They are just!!! Student drivers!!! 😭

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 .

sweetashe

we should also be more kind to people with POCD, ZOCD, IOCD, etc

i am always a little bit thinking about the hail mary as a haunted house. yao and ilyukhina of course, but stratt’s vague but undeniable presence too. and ryland’s own entirely unknown past. his own invisible self. eventually rocky’s crew too, and their memories

grocki

a basic tenant of the haunted house is that you can never leave. its hotel california right? you can check in any time but you can’t escape it. the grief follows you. you can’t just walk out the front door. the spaceship-as-haunted-house is a fun literalization of this, because you literally cannot leave. you can’t pretend you’ve walked out the front door to a shiny new untraumatized life, free of the burden of grief. you’re stuck! you’re trapped with it!

The Last Unicorn really said “There will be times when you can’t find other people like you and there will be times where you'll wonder if you're really the only person experiencing the world as you are and others will even try to take advantage of you through commodification and exploitation to the point where it starts to dilute your own sense of self and will make you question if you were ever you to begin with but it’s important for to resist the urge to assimilate and find community because there will always be people like you who will understand and have experienced these same things and the only way to combat a dark world who wants to smother your light is to FIGHT FIGHT RAGE AGAINST THE RED BULL DO NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT OCEAN.”

And I just think there’s something beautifully and inextricably queer about that

murderbot has the capacity to be so complicated about jewelry. are you seeing my vision. I actually dont think it would like wearing most jewelry however those few minutes with a slinky bracelet on? a necklace in its room alone? murderbots dont get dressed up in jewelry. secunits are too rough for it and would break it in the line of work, and secunits dont get to stop being secunits. comfortunits are the ones who get dressed up. jewelry is as often as its not a display of humans' relationships (to others and the world).

svnmouth

its all mapped out in my head. murderbot attends one of mensah's meetings realizes mensah's left behind a bracelet of hers before she left and slips it on in an unprecedented impulse. and its fine, it feels interesting anyway, its never worn jewelry before, and gets it back to mensah and it doesnt think about that again. something something I lied its not all mapped out but something happens and mb starts thinking about jewelry again and its Bad Actually but it doesnt get why exactly. this leads to a discussion with some of its friends on what jewelry even means to them. something something other filler details. and then murderbot ends up with a nice little sentimental piece of jewelry to keep :)

sincethefloods

theres nothing in my current mapped framework to fit it in besides like one line of reference but it would have the side effect of making murderbot use less self destructive methods if it meant a higher chance of its sentimental jewelry being damaged.

also undecided on if art would see ppl giving mb jewelry and be like I Wanna Do That or if its content bc mb has never let go of that comm interface. and tbh I think the latter.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

alagaisia

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

alagaisia

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hell yeah moon holiday

hello-delicious-tea

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

ariaste

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
