I'm late to the Deltarune party but today I met Spamton for the first time! made me think of you, heh. and now I see it is his birthday! a very special day indeed :^)

Haha, yeah! Today is the 44th anniversary of when the first spam e-mail was sent, so technically Spamton’s “birth”, heh.

But ahh I’m very flattered you thought of me! Spamton is very quirky and interesting character and Deltarune ch. 2 is a very cool game altogether! Hope you have lots of fun playing it!

Commentary: This idea popped in my head and wouldn’t leave until I drew it! Maybe this sundae is available at an ice-cream shop in the outpost where the creatures it’s based off live? Regardless it was fun to digitally paint!

how many animals do you live with? how many are permanent vs fostering? it must be lovely to live with so many little friends and I always enjoy seeing your posts about them!

Ahh thank you!!! I find rescuing animals a super rewarding activity alright, my family has been doing it since I was 7 years old! It’s definitely not an occupation I’d recommend to someone who doesn’t 100%, absolutely loves animals and spending time with them, heh.

As of now, there are 26 cats and 19 dogs! Most of these are unlikely to be rehomed as it is because they’re either already adults or elderly or are not animals people usually seek out to adopt, which is to mean… none of them are purebred, there are lots of fully black cats (which some people over here still believe to bring bad luck) there are animals that have some disability that requires expensive or complicated care, a skittish temperament or are mixed with a breed that has a bit of a bad reputation. We have a Rottweiler mix, a Doberman mix, three Pitbull mixes…

We’ve rehomed three kittens very recently, though, and we’re going to fly in some some formerly stray puppies all the way from Saudi Arabia (which is where my dad lives and works) and find them homes over here!

I’m mostly around the cats because I sleep in the same room as 17 of them (it’s attached to a catio) so I’m used to have them climbing on me all day long, heh.

 Commentary: Another muncher species! The Mossmuncher, this one lives in lakes, rivers and other large bodies of fresh water. They don’t eat, they use the moss in their hair to photosynthesize.

Commentary: I wanted to practice drawing glass again, so I thought it'd be fun to draw some milk tea with a silly twist. Mossmunchers (the creatures pretending to be the tapioca balls) are a relative of chesmunchers that live at the bottom of lakes and pond.

Uh oh is everything OK? Do I need to beat someone up for you? Cause I will. <3

Ahh I’m alright! It’s just my brain being mean to me as usual, I’ll metaphorically give it a few smacks like one does to an old CRT television when the image is bad. Thank you so much for your concern! 💜
