Mermay 2026

I wanted to do a few of these, but I’ve just run out of time, so if I get a chance, I’ll do some others down the line. Until then, here’s my golden boy!" More info below the break.

This was a really fun one, but I definitely spent too long on this in between other projects. It just felt good to work on something for me, when everything else is chaos at the moment.

I'm glad I went for a black model this time, as it's not a skin tone I have painted properly recently, and I wanted to practice some more, and it compliments the gold so well. I had a crisis on how to reflect the gold properly with so much metallic sheen and different bounce lights, but I had some help from the lovely Toby fox on it, and we dissected light sources, what ones could reflect where and how. Plus, I’m glad I went for the colour combos against a cooler background and chose a peaceful moment for a hunky merman at rest.

Sadly with my long covid/CFS I get kind of...fuzzy, very easily these days, I don't have much in the way of problem-solving patience, and it gets to me, so having art support always means the world ❤ I’m super keen to keep learning, but it’s at a snails pace, and it can often feel like I’ve been defeated before I even start. So, getting this guy done is a big win. Mermay is always a nice time to experiment with things in general for that 😊

The model, according to a reverse google of the image I found via Pinterest is Michael Otule! Really hope you guys like it!

Your hens are so gorgeous!!!! New rage unlocked, frankly - why does every zoo, random country house, and rich weirdo only seem to care about the males???? I want more pictures of pretty lady feathers!

I also wonder if the reason peacocks in zoos are so That Way is because the ratio of cock-to-hen is way off?

Thank you!!

AND YEAH HOW COME EVERYONE ONLY CARES ABOUT THE BOYS

The hens are freaking gorgeous, and they deserve to have their photos taken constantly.

The zoo peafowl are probably noisier because they can free range and get out of sight of each other. When suddenly Pea #1 realizes they haven't seen their friend Pea #2 in a few, they may start honking and calling for them, and that sets everyone else to sounding off.

"WHERE IS BILL?"

"NOT HERE"

"NOT HERE"

"NOT HERE"

"NOT HERE"

etc etc x50 birds, it gets loud.

I truly enjoy how much Animorphs is like “here are our young heroes, each with a distinctive trope to fill in the group!” And then it makes you watch how the pressure of each person’s role grinds them to dust. And also they have homework.

#IM SORRY THEY DO HOME FUCKING WORK IN ANIMORPHS??????

Yeah they're students. If they don't keep their grades up or if they miss too many classes (or miss classes at suspicious times) then they risk drawing the attention of the faculty and/or their parents, some of whom are the enemy and some of whom can just make future espionage a whole lot harder. There are multiple missions where they're like "okay, this is incredibly time sensitive but it'll take a full day or longer so it has to wait for the weekend and we'll have to all lie to our parents about sleeping over at each others' houses. It's gonna have to be done at the last minute because we've gotta go to class. Also, remember to get that English paper finished, we can NOT afford to have you grounded right now."

They also get disembowelled and/or eaten a lot

It's not too late. You can still read them.

These have been out of print for an age, and the authors have given their blessings to share the PDFs. Here's everything, including companion/side books and the non-canon Alternamorphs books, in reading order:

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

[charlesoberonn]

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

[femboy-fever]

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

[wondermanaging]

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

[charlesoberonn]

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)
