Demi-girl, demiro/sexual lesbian, waiting to figure out I'm a demi-god to have the full set. Casual interest in every topic that can possibly exist. Aspiring author & game developer. I have 9 snakes and I love all of them.

Y'know, I feel like if we made ridiculous pieces of art meant to immortalize the stupid things people have done like RimWorld colonists do, people would feel less inclined to do said stupid things. Anyway one of my colonists made a sculpture about a yak they slaughtered and it's glorious.

There's a disturbing number of people who equate being miserable and having nothing enjoyable in your life to being the same as being financially responsible. My job has given me insights into society's views I wish I was still ignorant on.

Mijah, literally resting her head on the fuzzy I just gave her: "Where is my food, mother? Why did you take it away?" She then proceeded to try eating my fingers and the feeding tongs several times before finally figuring out the fuzzy still existed. Pet snakes man.

Do I have a dog? No. Do I live with dogs? No. Do I work with dogs? No. Can I remember when I last interacted with a dog? Unfortunately, no. But did I buy a book on dog first aid during my bookstore visit a few days ago anyway? Hell yes.

I used to not like my art style so much because it always felt simple and sloppy in some inherent way I could never seem to fix no matter what I tried. But just earlier today, I realized that at the very least, my art is blatantly human-made. It couldn't be mistaken for AI. So now I like it.

Does anybody know of a good camera for someone who wants to try getting into photography? I want to take a crack at it to see if it's something I'd like to do, but the only camera I've ever used is the one on my cell phone and I don't have a big budget. #photography #camera #question

I have a sona design that's awesome and I love it, but every time I try to draw it, it's like I've lost every ounce of drawing skill I ever had because I just can't :(

Video games are always more fun when they don't have an obnoxiously restrictive stamina / energy system. Paleo Pines is cute and all so far, but the stamina system alone is a major turnoff for me that's making it hard to sit down and actually enjoy the game. It's good that WeMod exists lmao

I'm stuck in that spot where I want to be productive with the creative projects I'm working on, but I have so many things to work on that I can't pick anything and just play Minecraft instead

Casual reminder to all those who may need it - if you have bottled up anger that's messing with you, or any bottled up emotion for that matter, find a healthy way to release it.

Don't try to kid yourself with a "I have a lot of willpower, I'll be fine" or similar sentiment either. Everyone has a breaking point. Even if yours is harder to reach, it still exists, and it can still be just as dangerous as anyone else's.

Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who reads this. This has been me rambling about the various subjects bouncing around in my mind. If it was of value to anyone, then it was rambling well-spent.

Another important aspect is remembering that it doesn't matter if those feelings are justified or not. Anger is anger. Sadness is sadness. Resentment is resentment. Even if the majority would agree your feelings are valid, they have all the same potential to turn toxic if you don't manage them.

The outlet that works for you depends on what type of person you are and what you're dealing with. If you're a creative type, writing a short story or drawing a picture about your emotional state can help. That was how I managed things up until my wrist pain interfered.

Bottling things up only works for so long. Sooner or later, that bottle will reach its max capacity, and it's going to blow up when you try to put more in it. Depending on what's in there, that explosion can be seriously dangerous. To you, and the people around you.

It doesn't have to be general emotions, either. If you have tension or bad blood with a specific person or group of people, it's functionally the same thing. Letting that fester and bottle up is going to blow up on you one day too.

This entire time I've been trying to find a good place to store my writing at online so people can easily view what I share. I completely forgot that Wattpad both existed, and I already have an account on it. Whoops. Problem solved, though!

Part 1 of my "draw random things until I get the creative spark back" goal A dragon-cat hybrid lightly inspired by Talon from Cattails: Wildwood Story. Maybe I'll turn it into an OC. I dunno. I drew this in like, 40 minutes tops lmao #art #digitalart #cats #dragons #fantasy #hybrid #cartoon

I used to draw and write so much, all the time. Long story short, things happened that utterly crushed and destroyed that creative spirit I had, and I miss it so much. I'm trying to get it back but it's hard. So I'm doing what I did as a kid - drawing or writing whatever the fuck I think up.

No matter how random or obscure, just like when I was a kid that started up this hobby in the first place. I'm getting that creative fire back. And I'm also probably going to post it on here in an attempt to get some outside validation lmao.

Just found out one of my favorite Etsy sellers is no longer selling on Etsy. :( So if anyone ever figures out where Classy Caves, a store that sells custom hand-made reptiles hides went, please let me know. I miss them.

Since WolfQuest's Saga update is no longer in beta and officially in early access, I won't feel weird posting about it! Started a save with one of the grown pups I've had waiting for awhile. Hopefully I'll be able to get a handful of the new Saga achievements with this pack!

If there's anything getting into snakes and snake genetics has taught me, it's that high school biology does a pretty crappy job at teaching about genetics.

Sorry to disturb your scrolling. We may not know each other, but if this has reached you; I hope you get to live the life you have always dreamed of. I hope everything works out in your benefit. I hope you will be ok. Keep going. ✨🖤

Turns out melatonin can make sleep apnea worse. I probably have sleep apnea as I have the main symptoms; looking to talk to a sleep doctor to know for sure. But... I also need melatonin to fall asleep. So...

My options come down to: 1 - Sleep like shit because I kept suffocating throughout the night. or 2 - Sleep like shit because I never actually really went to sleep in the first place. Can I trade in the sleep processing part of my brain for a new one please

I've gotten THIS CLOSE 👌 to cracking into the ability to mod WolfQuest. I am, unfortunately, met with a terrible problem. My laptop may have too much of a skill issue to do it, and I sure as peck can't afford a better computer right now. :(

I am going to be aggressively anti-bigotry in all of my creative works. Gay, bi, ace, trans, nonbinary, and all flavors of LGBT+ characters everywhere, all being treated like the normal people they are. I want to be the bane of bigots. Let them weep at the mere mention of my work.

I've wanted to wear a spiked choker for awhile now, but every choker I got was always too tight for me to feel comfortable wearing it. So I bought an XXL spiked dog collar as a final "fuck it, may as well try one last time" and I LOVE THIS THING SO MUCH It satisfies the look and it's so comfy!!

Verdict of my snakes' collective vet visit today: Hunbun needs calcium supplements and a fecal examination, and Enyo needs to get some radiographs to figure out what's up with his ribs, but everyone else is perfectly healthy! #herps #vets #animals #exoticvets #cbeam
