[uptownthots]

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

companion critters from way back in january. i want to make more little guys for that creature escorting/research thing i started a while ago. these are early or "safe" area critters.

loose typings for these babies are, starting at the upper left:

branch type, hive type, net type (siren type?), bone type, seed type, beyond type, and endless type.

I really like the colours you get on magpies, what at first glance looks like a other black and white bird is actually full of these wonderfully iridescent greens and purples

just a really spectacular animal

"She did feel it. A dark hand had let go its lifelong hold upon her heart. But she did not feel joy, as she had in the mountains. She put her head down in her arms and cried, and her cheeks were salt and wet. She cried for the waste of her years in bondage to a useless evil. She wept in pain, because she was free." - The Tombs of Atuan, Ursula K. Le Guin
