Time to be the change I want to see in fandom by introducing my Regent headcanon: he can understand the Defect. It's not just beeps and boops to him, it's actual language. Naturally, this has led me to imagine quite the humorous scenario:
Defect: curious beeps (something something "What's your friend's name?" referring to Osty, presumably while the Necrobinder isn't looking its way)
...
Regent:
Regent: Ex-CUSE YOU, Lich! Are you deaf, perhaps? Unfamiliar with the phrase 'speak when spoken to'???
Necrobinder: And just who am I meant to be speaking to? It's not like I'd miss one of your questions, as obnoxious as you are.
Regent: I am NOT—! Ahem... The construct has an inquiry for you!
Necrobinder: Be honest. Does it look like I speak construct?
Regent:
Regent: YOU DON'T???
This is followed by him taken ABACK that all intelligent life on Preon doesn't speak the same language (since I presume struggle-free Starris over here wouldn't have things such as language barriers lmao), which leads him to question if the Silent and Ironclad are unable to understand the Defect as well. This goes about as amusingly as it sounds (considering how little those two speak), ending with:
Necrobinder: Oh well. Guess you'll have to translate for the lot of us.
Regent: Who, me???
Regent: Absolutely NOT! Such a task is beneath royalty!
Defect: sad beeps
Regent: N...no need to frown, construct! They're merely missing out!
Necrobinder: (What on Preon does he mean by "frown"???)
Defect: more sad beeps
And then he takes it upon himself to translate anyway LMAO
also if anyone wants the evidence used to support this headcanon, it's under the cut (with pictures!)
but beware, the yapping is intense... Monologue level (the Regent card), even
ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds
I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study
after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
et voila
and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
and now, the birds
Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus
Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius
hoo boy, ok *out of breath*
GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!
this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render
speaking of obnoxious coverts:
bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata
the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it
Madam....
birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female
pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr
*melts into goo*
BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus
genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??
nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
in other news, I am losing my mind hairline
SHE'S DONE!!
Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis
my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on
this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏
*does a little jig*
BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos
the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise
ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!
Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹
aaaand another one bites the duck,
we're movin right along with bird numero 11!! The lady Mallard!! Anas platyrhyncos
the 16th is looming in the distance so i'm trying to get thru these as quickly as i can so i can have as much time for the GBH as possible. i still need to do the names next to all of them so i've got about a week and a half to finish everything which is GREAT because i have adhd and nothing gets my ass in gear like a fuckin deadline, let me tell you
power couple that they are, here's bird number 12 and 13,
the Northern Cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis
and NOW that they are complete, ITS GO TIME, in the next five days (library's closed for mother's day 😭😭) i need to have the GBH fully rendered, the names of the birds vectored, weeded, masked, applied to the wall, and then painted, plus additional cattails throughout. I may be able to get away with just getting the GBH done in time for the unveiling and then just have the names and cattails added later, but i'm gonna really try to get it all done in time. BUT, i have a plan. Part of why i take so long on these is because i really am just figuring it out as I do it lmao. there have been many a time where i am sitting on top of the ladder googling "how to paint birds" but I think if i take the time tomorro to do all that figuring out how to approach it beforehand, this will go a lot faster. I may also recruit some of my artist friends to help with the placing of the names... hrmm we'll see.
Anyways, shout out to the librarian who tracked down exactly the thing i needed so i could figure out where to place the highlights in my birds eyes, ur the real mvp
thanks for the reminder, kid
at long last, we've reached the end...
Bird number 14 out of 14,
The Great blue heron, Ardea herodius
thank you to everyone who reached out or got excited about this project, it genuinely gave me the fuel i needed to keep going. In total, the 480+ total hrs it took me to cover this wall pales in comparison to how long its expected to spend on there, hopefully imparting a sense of beauty and love for the natural world to the next generation and here's hoping i'm only getting started with these.
i'll see y'all soon :')
A friend of a friend of mine has a family member who just survived cancer! I just donated myself, so if you have the means to help her out with the medical bills even just a little, it'd be greatly appreciated! <3
Hello! Thank you so much for taking a look into my story. My na… Noah Carroll needs your support for Please Help Me Rebuild after Cancer alm
Doodle! It's the Regent from Slay the Spire 2.

RE: smg4 Mr Puzzles
TL:DR I do not want to cancel the show, I don't want it to cancel me.
So I have been forced, basically, to make this statement as I am being asked about this character or 'introduced' to it (and the incoming new show) against my desires. I have deleted all previous posts about my encounters with this problem long ago for personal reasons that will be apparent, but people don't know about my situation and do deserve an explanation. I will keep this post short for my own mental health. This is the first time I have disclosed any of this information to the public, and it is hopefully the last. My silence has been a part of my uncomfortable situation, but it's clear the world won't let me try to just ignore it any longer, so it's full disclosure time.
1, Yes. I know about Mr Puzzles and his uncanny resemblance to RGB, my character from the on going comic The Property of Hate, who pre-exists Mr Puzzles by approximately ten years.
I did not, as a consequence, base RGB off Mr Puzzles...
2, I have received very violent and manipulative hate mail from fans of that character over the past few years due to this similarity, many threatening to slander me via cancel culture to discredit my own creations. The worst of these messages almost caused me to commit suicide which close friends can attest to (this period coincided with the death of my father which they used against me to full effect).
Since then the hatemail has been less frequent, but continues, and I am afraid it will pick up again with the advent of this new show.
3, I have contacted the smg4 management about these issues, to no avail. My first email was a request to tell their followers to cease sending me hatemail, which they did not attempt in any way. They have never responded to the large overlaps in terms of RGB's design, and when I finally sent them an email via a lawyer as a last resort (which cost me £4000) they did not respond. Please note that I did not ask for a cease and desist, I only wanted the hatemail to stop, and perhaps for them to alter Mr Puzzle's design very slightly to be a little less like RGB's. I even made this simple suggestion as an example:
Despite going out of my way (against the lawyer's wishes) to phrase the letter in a none-hostile manner, and offer them an alternative, they did not reply to this email at all.
I am a disabled indie cartoonist; I do not have the money to take further legal action, and in any case I do not want to. I hate conflict, and the emotional toll of sending that email alone was enough to make me miserable and exhausted for months. All I want is to be left alone, and for people to know that RGB was invented first. I cannot afford to do anything to protect myself or make anyone listen legally; this post is the most I can do, and it is the only post I intend to make about it.
that's it. that's the whole situation. please do not message me about the show, or the character, as both are very distressing to me: if you do I will either delete the message, or block you, depending on the angle. I have blocked all related tags, and I will unfollow if I see posts, so I am doing everything I can to take care of myself in a non-aggressive fashion. I have only made this statement so that people understand.
a small example of some of the hatemail (which was preserved only to be sent to the makers as evidence which, again, they did not respond to) below the readmore. read at your own discretion, it is unpleasant.
thank you for taking the time to read this.

soulmates: everything drawn across your skin gets reflected on another’s
You've decided that you don't like your soulmate very much.
At the newly turned age of 10, you went to sleep that night feeling like the world was at your fingertips. Double digits, you heard thrown around. It felt special, you felt special.
The next morning, as you woke up and went into the bathroom, you found your face streaked in a cacophony of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. Horrible squiggly, fat drawings of stars and mustaches and playing cards and dogs.
That day was when you discovered what it meant to have a soulmate. As well as the fact that no matter how hard you scrubbed, you would not be getting the marks off until your soulmate decided to.
Holding back angry tears, you grabbed the nearest marker and drew the meanest face you could imagine into your forearm until your skin chafed. Refusing to remove it until your face was yours again.
You watched in the bathroom mirror as the last of the drawings faded. Transfixed by the process of it all—the way you could trace the path of your soulmate's hands as they cleaned—you stood in slight wonder.
Until you noticed your drawing being painted over to resemble a clown.
The sight filled you with an annoyance you've never felt before.
THEYRE BACK
