still working on a lot more stuff with these characters, but have these for now. something fun about them is that Hastur is in a semi-tangible Tulpa-esque state and can change his size and appearance at will, and Summer has a ton of different outfits and hairstyles throughout the story, so if I forget something or draw them inconsistently it’s actually not a mistake and I meant for it to be like that

i love drawing these guys so much. i actually started working on a comic about them, but i honestly really need some financial help if i’m gonna be able to get it done. i’ve been really struggling. my commissions are open and i’m planning to add some physical shop items to my kofi soon!

just some OC drawings i wanted to share. i’m still working on all these designs but i liked how these pieces turned out
i’m getting this intense urge to make a webcomic. and like i’ve wanted to make a webcomic for a really long time now but 1) i never got around to figuring out all the stuff i’d have to figure out for it and 2) none of the story ideas i had in my head really grabbed me. but this story for some reason is really calling out to me lately. i haven’t even talked about the characters on here before really, i shared one art piece of the two MCs without explaining who they were and that’s it.
and the other problem is, they started as Malevolent OCs, and the story is still really similar to Malevolent. like, the main character is a girl who has a paternal bond with the King in Yellow and it’s basically a magical girl powerset rather than the whole situation John and Arthur have going on, but that’s the only difference really. they’re still magically bound together and have to fight other eldritch horrors to survive. it’s just, i dunno, it’s so derivative and idk if people even read webcomics anymore. i just really like the story as it exists in my head, but i feel like people would just be like “this is just Malevolent told by a queer cartoon fan”

Five tips on how to be a responsible dog owner
By Summer Delaney
Dogs are a man’s best friend, but how can you best show appreciation for the canine in your life?
In honor of the American Kennel Club celebrating Responsible Dog Ownership day on Sept. 17, Dr. Debbye Turner Bell, a veterinarian who has been an expert contributor to Animal Planet and CBS News, sat down with Yahoo News to share her top five tips.
1. Choose the right pet for your family and lifestyle. Turner Bell advocates making the right decisions before you buy your dog. Do you want a guard dog or one for companionship? Are you looking for a hunting dog or a lapdog? Make an informed decision by researching different breeds.
Additionally, buying a dog will not just affect your life: It will also have an impact on your entire family and household. Turner Bell says that a family with younger children may not want a small dog, while an elderly person may not want a rambunctious canine.
2. Take care of your dog’s health and well-being. It is important for your dog to see a veterinarian at least once a year for a physical exam and vaccinations. If you live in an area where there are mosquitoes, your dog needs to be checked and treated for heartworms.
Unless you are trying to show or breed your dog, Turner Bell recommends getting your pet spayed or neutered. This step not only keeps your pet healthier, but it can also help prevent some diseases from developing.
3. Feed your dog the appropriate food. All foods are not created equal. If you have not heard of most of the ingredients in your dog’s food, you may want to look into buying a new brand. Turner Bell says the first few ingredients should be a meat or protein, as well as plant-based foods such as carrots, peas, and other vegetables.
Another incentive? “The higher the quality of the food, the less comes out the other end,” said Turner Bell. “It works for you and the dog.”
4. Keep your dog safe. It’s important to always properly identify your dog either with a collar and I.D. tag or a microchip. Turner Bell recommends using a microchip because your dog can always be identified if he or she goes missing.
As the seasons change, be mindful of the weather as it cools down or heats up. It’s also a good idea to invest in a high-quality leash and carrier for travel.
5. Play with your dog. Now it’s playtime!
“Play is important on a couple of levels: It addresses their physical needs as well as their emotional needs,” says Turner Bell. “Dogs are social animals, and they need interaction. It’s not enough to put down food and water and then leave them alone for 16 hours a day. They need to feel your touch, they need your attention, and you can do that out on a nice walk that also helps them physically.”
But aside from the emotional benefits of playing with your dog, canines need exercise, just as humans do. If you are worried that your dog is obese, a condition that can cause heart disease and diabetes, among other ailments, owners can tell if their pet is overweight by feeling for the ribs. If your dog feels more like “a sausage on sticks,” the animal may be at risk.
Ready to adopt your next dog? Turner Bell brought along two puppies, Star and Fridget, which can be adopted from the Bideawee shelter. If you are not in the New York area, Turner Bell recommends visiting your local animal shelter to find out more.
