☆~☆~☆~She/her || ♠️ || 30+~☆~☆~☆ This is mainly a reblog blog catering to whatever suits my fancy. Safest to assume posts are by queue these days. Content that appeals to my favorite things and fandoms is most likely what you'll find here along with the ultra-rare original post. Been here long enough to be a Tumblr Ancient™️ (circa 2011,) so enjoy your stay and browsing through 10+-year's-worth of (mostly) tagged content!
ground beef prices are expected to soar to $20 a pound after a screw worm infestation has infected US cattle herds for the first time since the 1950s. Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE gutted all the funding for the agencies responsible for monitoring our food supply, so now the whole system is collapsing and sending grocery prices soaring. No problem for Big AG — they just pass the price on to YOU.

Three more cases of the New World screwworm have been confirmed, including one outside Texas, demonstrating the difficulty of stopping a pes
this isn't across the entire industry but it is still concerning. there are 5 confirmed cases so far, infecting 3 baby cows and a goat in texas, and a dog in new mexico, but they're still testing flies and animals in both areas to see how far it's spread. no confirmed cases in humans yet and this isn't dangerous to the average consumer but could be for communities animal and human alike that surround slaughterhouses and animal agriculture farms (as well as the animals inside obviously)
the USDA plans are to drop more sterile male flies around the texas/mexico border and eventually open a fly factory in hopes to stop them from reproducing, which is the method the US adopted in the 1950s, but it won't be operational until late 2027 at the earliest. but that method previously stemmed the screwworm population all the way down to Panama.
there's also a group of bioethicists, conservation biologists, and scientists who got together and published this perspective about a year ago, questioning if screwworm depopulation efforts should become more aggressive and lethal with the intent of species eradication, and the ethics of pursuing the science to make that possible.
To all the people saying “fetish shit”, yall ought to see how much menstrual smut there is on AO3. The only functional difference would be the lack of mess and a change in how we fap.
As always, please feel free to participate with anything you can make, it doesn't have to be extravagant, it can be a simple little drawing or fully animated, whatever your heart desires.
Once more I have to thank every single one of you for making this event what it is, I'm so glad that after all this time, people still come together to make a bunch of great stuff for THE GREAT PAPYRUS. I hope you'll all participate once again, and if you can't post it on the day, that's okay, Papyrus can say fuck whenever he wants.

Please reblog, and share with all your Papyrus-loving friends! I look forward to another fun year cheering on The Great Papyrus with all of you. <3
I am neck (haha) deep into this manga/anime. Hikaru Ga Shinda Natsu (The Summer Hikaru Died) is such a poignant exploration of what makes humanity lovely and terrible by juxtaposing an actual eldritch horror next to the everyday horrors of human hate.
Please check it out! I haven't loved a story this much in a long time <3
It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...
I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!
I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!
(lots more after the Read More cut...!)
Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍
There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.
When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.
These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…
Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.
Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄
I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?
After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.
As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️
This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.
Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.
Say it with him, folks!!
For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.
Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.
I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?
Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!
