Paulpup! No one is quite sure how (or why) he was created, but he seems to bring a smile to the usually solemn scientist Allan. He started as a doodle in one of my many giant sketch canvases, but I found him to be very cute and kept drawing him. Still working on his backstory.

Happy 11 (maybe 10 years again?) to Benny!!! 

I went back through my old sketchbook and realized most of the drawings are dated 2016, so technically this might be his 10th anniversary. But since I never dated his very first sketch, I don't think I'll ever know for sure. But, I'm okay with that! I'm sticking with what I said before.

I've been deep in other art projects lately. I've been finishing my animation final, working on another comic, and even building a tabletop RPG! Funny enough, I never thought I'd get into TTRPGs, but here I am.

Benny's meant a lot to me. I even wrote an essay about him for a nonfiction class, and people really connected with it. Writing it made me realize how much of myself is in him — much more than I expected!

It's also awesome that his birthday is the day before Tomodachi Life comes out! How fitting. I included photos of what Benny and Joe's Miis looked like originally, and what they look like today.

Happy birthday, Benny. I'm proud of you, and I hope I'm still talking about you for many years to come.

Something small for Transgender Visibility Day. These are my characters, Paul A. and Kamari, from my comic Inter Lineas, which explores gender identity as one of its main themes.

When I created them, I pulled a lot from my own experience being trans. It can be confusing at times, but also beautiful! I would not trade it for anything else. And how lovely it is to find someone like you in the world!

In the story, Paul and Kamari discover parts of themselves through each other's creativity and shared interests. In my own life, I've been lucky to have friends who've supported me, and who I've been able to support in return, especially through my ongoing transition.

To all my trans siblings out there: you are loved, not just today but EVERYDAY!!! Even when things feel heavy, we're still here, and we'll keep going... TOGETHER!!! 💪🏳️‍⚧️

To which OC does this search history belong?

[writeoddity]

actor kyle maclachlan reportedly put both of his fingers inside a chinese finger trap and has been stuck for the past five hours. (x)

here's the original ink drawing from my new sketchbook. I'm not sure if I like it completely vectored, but it did save my shaky lines haha. I really like Bristol board, and I hope to do more art like this in the future. My next challenge is to draw someone in full!

Maximus!!! This is a drawing for another friend's birthday today. He is their (and my) favorite Fallout TV show character.

Visually, I wanted this picture to be remiscient of the New Vegas playing cards, like this:

If I can find them, I made a bunch of little doodles of him and Lucy!!

Drew my good friend @buttstrawberry 's Na'vi OC! This is my first time drawing an OC from the franchise, but I had a lot of fun with the colors :D !! Happy birthday again to my wonderful best friend <3

We hope everyone had a cozy, wonderful holiday! We’ve already received so many lovely submissions, especially beautiful video and audio pieces, and we’d love to see more visual art join the fun.

Calling all David Lynch fans!

Brain Candy Magazine is creating a very special themed issue: The Sweet and the Strange.

We’re looking for art of all kinds (visual, written, experimental, and hybrid) as long as it connects back to David Lynch. Your submission can be inspired by his films and characters, philosophies, the uncanny, or his recurring themes of duality, like good vs. evil, or in our case: the sweetness inside the strange! All we ask is that your work includes a brief note about how Lynch inspired it, whether that’s a direct reference or influence.

Let this issue be a tribute to the worlds he built and the ones he helped us build inside ourselves.

Submissions are open until February 24th, 2026.

For more details, visit here! (Neocities)

So! Someone asked me about this zine I had on my Neocities, which obviously means everyone is secretly dying to know (I’m kidding… unless?). Anyway, I decided to post my favorite zine I made over the summer! Under the cut, you’ll find the actual print page so you can make your very own copy. :0]

My TOS: All I ask is that you keep my name somewhere on it, and don’t change the content to be mean, rude, or generally full of bad vibes. Basically: don’t turn my silly little art into something evil. Otherwise, have fun!

If Tumblr pixelates this to hell, try here instead.

Excerpt from “The Mindwalkers: A Brief History of Public Embarrassment” (circa 1999 reissue)

The Mindwalkers Division has never been a stranger to controversy. From the ethical minefield of recruiting psychic middle-schoolers for national defense to more mundane scandals — such as the now-infamous Mindwalkers Monthly issue “Mind Over Body, Body Over Mind?” — the Bureau has a long record of self-inflicted wounds. Released sometime in 1987 (likely before the untimely passing of Dr. Sabine Leeren, who by all accounts would have never approved of such material), the issue featured twenty-year-old operative Paul A. in a neat blue jumpsuit, legs folded elegantly skyward. The pose was supposedly meant to demonstrate “psychophysical fitness.” Paul himself once described it, unhelpfully, as his “human pretzel pose.”

Unfortunately, the caption — “1987’s Most Dangerous Position: The Mindwalker’s Seat” — sent readers into moral panic. The anonymous editor, who has since retreated into decades of obscurity, insisted the article was meant to illustrate the “rigorous training demands placed on our youth operatives.” Whatever further justification followed was immediately lost to history (and likely to the shredder). At the time, the Mindwalkers were already the subject of wild conspiracy theories: accusations of psychic misconduct, government cover-ups, and, bizarrely, a rumored “esoteric brotherhood of the body” due to the Division’s overwhelmingly male roster. The image of young Paul, all flexibility and federally sanctioned innocence, only fanned those flames.

The fallout arrived in an avalanche of angry faxes: “Paul A. should be ashamed before God and country,” wrote one. Another demanded, “Burn every remaining copy!” Yet, amidst the outrage, a few unsettlingly affectionate letters appeared. “I taped the picture to my mirror before training,” confessed one admirer. Another observed approvingly, “He doesn’t look like government property.” (He was, of course, very much government property.) Today, surviving copies of the issue are considered collector’s items or evidence, depending on who you ask.

Curious yet? The truth’s between the lines — read Inter Lineas.

Wonderful baby, nothing to fear Love whom you will, but doubt what you hear They'll whisper sweet things and make you untrue So be good to yourself, that's all you can do (x)

This song reminds me a lot of Private O’Hanrahan. Maybe an odd connection, but I’ve always felt for him. He’s such a good guy, yet the I feel like the story undervalues him, and leaves so much of his potential unexplored...

O’Hanrahan honestly feels like one of those background characters who could’ve been way more interesting if the game had done anything with him. His backstory and how both the NCR and the game itself treat him just come off as lazy, like they had the chance to say something bigger but didn’t. I get that New Vegas was rushed and not every random soldier could get the “tragic companion” treatment, but still.

He’s supposed to be from this little farming community, similar to the Grub n’ Gulp stop, and he even mentions his family had forty acres. But, come on, near the Nevada border with that climate? No way that farm was thriving. Add in radiation, water shortages, and the NCR choking off resources, and survival was probably impossible. So, his family basically ships him off to the NCR because he’s big, strong, and “too hard to feed.” Imagine being in your mid-twenties and your family just decides you’re expendable, so they hand you over to one of the most broken factions in the wasteland. That’s setting up for something larger, yet the game never digs into it beyond a couple lines of dialogue.

On paper, O’Hanrahan is a pacifist who just wants kindness for everyone, which sounds noble. But in-game? He just feels like wasted potential. Not because he’s “too nice for the NCR,” but because it doesn’t even read like pacifism. It reads like he gave up before the story even started. He doesn’t fight, doesn’t push back, and doesn’t even make a big deal out of resisting. He just… hangs around, eats, and gets pushed around.

Honestly, the NCR not pumping him full of chems is wild. They’ve got Psycho lying around, they use it on frontline troops, and here’s this guy built like a tank who passed their tests, and they just let him sit there useless? The game even teases this idea in Razz’s quest, where you fetch Psycho, but it never goes anywhere. Imagine if they leaned into that: a naïve “kindness above all” guy twisted by chems and shoved into combat. That would’ve been a brutal but fitting commentary on NCR exploitation and how fragile pacifism really is in the wasteland. Instead, O’Hanrahan just ends up looking pathetic, and we lose out on what could’ve been a way deeper, way darker character arc.

tl;dr: I don't like the NCR. Probably could've done more with the whole Misfits thing and how they tie to the larger atrocities of what the NCR has done. Also probably there's already a character quest with this same concept so. Yeah.
