Owls create snow angel imprints while hunting in winter when they swoop down to catch mice or squirrels.

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

as an author who did lots of fantasy genre research don't get me started on how much time goes into nature/plants (!) animals food and architecture

#real asf but BIG HOT TAKE: you can do interesting world building without stressing yourself over hyperrealism #if the hyperrealism wouldn’t serve your story there’s no reason to waste THAT MUCH time on it #like Gabe Newel said: real life is boring. if you can’t find a way to make your realism service what you’re showing your audience #there’s no reason to force yourself to adhere to it #I understand the motivation to do that tho #in depth world building can be rlly fun

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

i am of the sincere belief that if ur on ur computer a lot you should visually customize it to high hell and back not just for funsies but also because it has literally made me less depressed before. its kind of like how rearranging your bedroom is good for your brain, yknow. i do stuff like this every few months

and if anyone wants to follow suit

LIVE WALLPAPER: wallpaper engine. only thing on here that costs any money (its like 5 bucks on steam). im sure theres free alternatives but this one has a lot of presets and stuff so its less hassle and its what i use. might be a bad idea for lower end pcs tho

CUSTOM TASKBAR: retrobar on github (lots of different options)

CUSTOM CURSOR: theres a lot of places to find these, but rw-designer open cursor library is a good place to start

DISCORD: betterdiscord, im using the clearvision v7 theme with a custom background

EXTENSIONS (these are for firefox, might or might not exist on other browsers):

tabliss for the new tab theme

stylus for tumblr -> specifically the 'tumblr - custom dashboard pallette' theme for colors + bg, and this for the pre-twitterifcation layout

enhancer for youtube for custom youtube colors

the browser theme is just one i found on the firefox theme 'store'

My desktop background is still a picture of the front of the local shop I got it from, with tweaks to make the neon signs pop and to make sure there's absolutely no dark shadows. It's a very vibrant image, a local store, and kiddos tech savvy friend works there.

But I'm absolutely doing this when it's time to change.

I can’t find the original post (or maybe you never made it IDK and I’m imagining it) but I thought you once posted about how one of your characters was designed to be like someone who was once on testosterone, but no longer is. I just wanted to say that (being in that same boat) it’s really really nice. Your art inspires me to be more bold in my stories with their themes, and makes me feel warm to see other trans bodies drawn with such care and love. Thank you for all of the art you make (written or drawn), from freaky fairies, gay plague healers, to toxic repressed step-brothers.

that's taelle'teth <3 i've mentioned it in some odd places, i know on bsky for sure. but yes he was made for that purpose, after i had to stop taking T and needed a way to cope with that. so i'm always referencing photos of my own body whenever i draw him (except he kept more chest hair than i did, because i couldn't resist). and i can confidently say that making him, drawing him, loving him - really helped me a lot back then. and still does. guys like us deserve to be boldy seen and cared for and i hope my art continues to speak to that.
