How did you come up with Foxiyo and what force powers did you use to make me love everything about it?

I didn't come up with it! That honor goes to some of the OG Foxiyo fans who first came up with this delicious crack pairing. @countessofbiscuit touches on the history in this post. But my gateway drug were the early fanfics like Perception by @amukmuk

As to how Foxiyo ensnared your mind *steeples fingers* Take your pick: he is grumpy, she is optimistic; toll and short; Fox gets nice things for once; Riyo goes on political adventures, saves the galaxy and gets the (clone) boy; it's a cocktail of tropes that buzz the brain just so. No force powers required but the sheer magnetism of two character potentials. That they snap together so effortlessly is just fodder for What If pairings lololol XD

Carrinth Rambles 🐲🍪

Just wanted to say that I'm still very much alive and active on Tumblr. I just haven't been drawing much lately because of Severe Art Block. So I've been spending my time Very Aggressively playing GW2 (I recently bought End of Dragons expansion) and Spite Baking.

You probably did not ask "Carrinth, what is Spite Baking"? And I will answer, it is spite and anger at the increasing prices of delicious baked goods. Also a reaction to stuff being too sweet and diabetes being a real concern. So the only solution to Overpriced Baked Goods With Too Much Sugar is to Make Them Yourself. Out of spite. I have made two disastrous batches of cookies. You again did not ask "Carrinth, y u suck so bad at this?"

I tell you: "Idk. I was a college grad. I scored A in chemistry. My grandparents (both sides) were chefs. In my blood is the blood of bakers. They now scowl and shake their heads in shame. I have shamed my bloodline. Perhaps there is truth in baking with love, of love and joy being the Secret Ingredient. Because I was not joyful. I poured all my hate, my malice, my fury into those cookies and forged them in Working Oven. You bite into them and taste nothing but salt and broken dreams (apparently sugar is a binding agent and too little makes them brittle go figure). I sit, fuming and enraged, swearing I will triumph in the next batch as I watch my family surreptitiously eat them all. They think I do not hear the fridge door opening and shutting at odd hours of the night. Of where there were over a dozen misshapen lumps, only four remain. Did you eat my cookies... Brother? Blood of my blood, how this betrayal cuts deep. My foolish kin, they were MINE! They belonged to me! And you took them in the dead of night like a thief. A cookie thief. I'm telling mom." 🍪

Not to sound rude: but is this account dead? Its been a while since you've updated

Me: I'm not dead! You: Oy, this one said they're not dead! Me: I think I'll post a doodle. You: Yer not foolin' anyone. Ya haven't posted in months! Me: I've been playing video games! And drawing NSR fanart on me sideblog! You: You haven't updated that sideblog much either! Me: Yes but look at this picture of me cat boi:

You: Why are his pants so short...? Me: T-That's what the game gave me! (This is true) It improves his strength! You: How??? Me: ...By exposing his muscular thighs...?

But c'mon just lookit that face~!

Ok ok ok. Actually I've almost finished my Cat Boi adventures game and will probably return to drawing more frequently. I do have my Foxiyo Week stuff to plan out and moar NSR comics to finish. :D

But if you're looking for Finding Fulcrum, lemme know too! Would love feedback on what everyone is looking forward to :3

You know my sudden reawakened interest in GLTAS had me looking back at a lot of partially finished stuff I had drawn but never posted. Some of them even look... pretty good(?), despite the age. I feel bad that Past Me put so much damn effort into these drawings but never quite completed them.

Thinking of just finishing up these various random drawings and then posting them. But they come from such VARIED fandoms. My interest was really all over the place. Huh.

[carrinth]

Me: I want to draw so many things.

Reality: Ends up drawing nothing

Me: :-/

Me whenever new Star Wars material unexpectedly shows me Order 66 scenes:

Me: Clone troopers! (delighted)

Seconds later

Me: C-Clone troopers... (depressed)
