It drives me crazy when toyhouse users make trade posts and they’re straight up like “I don’t like female/feminine designs!”

I don’t rly care if people have a gender preference in OCs either way but I feel like straight up saying you don’t like female characters is bold and rude.

Also from my experience even though I never list a gender preference I notice that I get offered male designs 90% of the time anyway

✨‼️COLE‼️✨

I finished the fanart of two handsome guys)) I still liked drawing Rocky the most, although Cole is also pretty good😋

In principle, it turned out cool, but I'm personally still working on the colors, I find it so hard to find my own coloring style, it seems like everything is wrong and everything is flat and not beautiful, not harmonious, and oh my, it's so hard to find this balance, it's horrible😞

By the way, I drew to a very cool song, I attached it below))

New commission finished

The homeworld of the Trebhum, besieged by the Eternal Cylinder, has hosted various titanic life forms that have dominated every ecosystem, at the top of it the Terrible Krastobak It stands as the formidable and fearsome creature of all.

Commissioned by MonsterArchivist https://deviantart.com/monsterarchivist

I really thank him to introduce me on the story and game of the Eternal Cylinder, It's a game that feels like a spiritual successor to Spore in its aesthetics and creature design.

Crested Caracara being allopreened by two Black Vultures! This is such an interesting behavior and one that's typically one-way (preening by vultures to caracara). Here you can see the caracara either attempting to reciprocate but getting rebuffed by both vultures, or telling them to stop for now.

parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.

This is also part of why I'm so loud about homeschool reform, specifically in the USA.

In the US, there is no meaningful legal definition for educational/academic neglect in any of the 50 states or federally. What this means is that a child can be "homeschooled" and exclusively be taught how to cook and clean, reach the age of 18 being unable to read, write, or count, and this alone is not considered neglect. That 18yo, should they even have the knowledge that suing exists, has no legal grounds to sue their parents for denying them an education.

In over 40 US states, a convicted child abuser can homeschool their children. So someone who has done time for child abuse and somehow regains access to their child(ren) can decide upon returning home that they want to "homeschool" their kids. Those children are now locked in a home with their abuser where nobody can see them.

There are no welfare checks.

There are no routine assessments.

There aren't even databases — state or federal — keeping track of how many homeschooled kids there actually are.

Meaning a child can be locked in their home for their entire life with their convicted abuser, learn absolutely nothing, never go to the doctor, and so long as that child is fed, clothed, and the abuse isn't physical or sexual, that child has almost no chance of rescue and no legal ground to seek restitution if/when they escape.

The only way homeschooled children get rescued is if they're beaten, starved, or physically neglected and they're able to get the right person to see that. Otherwise? They have to wait until someone finds out they were murdered as a result of their parents "homeschooling".

And feral homeschool parents love to jump down my throat about this, and then get even more pissed when I tell them I'm a homeschool alumni.

Because I know it's not all homeschoolers. But even one is too many, and the lack of protections should scare everyone. If you're a good homeschool parent, nothing will change. If not, you deserve whatever comes your way as a result of adequate oversight.

Children deserve rights.

It's not all homeschoolers... but it's certainly most of the homeschoolers who don't want protections and regulation. The ones who are homeschooling for the right reasons benefit from guidelines and benchmarks being in place.
