oh yeah since im seeing a resurgence in this post...i DID finish cleaning up the gif i found (half the frames and likely not the original resolution, but pretty clean) but i have no clue where to share it??? i know it won't upload to bluesky correctly

is it okay to use furry tags if my art is furry-adjacent??? it doesn't really have the typical furry look and i'm not sure if i'd be classified as a furry but idk maybe furries might wanna look at my lil guys???

i dont know why i keep getting sicker this year, the doctors i've been going to can't figure it out either. but i'd like it to stop, please.

fuzz is the oddball here and it's probably self defense LMAO being a memory virus probably makes him some sort of forbidden apple that might let them escape their digital prisons

just so you know, you CAN get screenshots & video from tomodatchi life if you're using an sd card. you just can't use the switch to phone feature. though when i'm playing i do end up just recording the screen to show people things on discord, haha

i don't really post my pencil art it brings out all the flaws i can hide better with digital my shaky hands, my warped perspective could anyone love something so imperfect? can you learn to?

my character for #GreatestBlade! i wasn't expecting to join, but i had such a vivid idea of this guy that i had to enter haha #OCEvent #OC #Art #DigitalArt

OK SO. 1. i think i got the original program wrong. 2. the gif i found only has half the frames. so i wonder if i'd have any luck finding a download for the other one...it's older though, so it might hit the same dead end

no dice on finding a surviving download, but the software might be "AOL Safety and Security Center". it seems to basically just be mcafee lol anyways i'll work with what i have for now

most of that time was spent trying to find a download of active virus shield since another ancient video showed that this might be from a spyware scanner, i was going to try to rip the sprites directly but unfortunately the original mirror went down in 2024 and i genuinely couldnt find another

this post inspired me hehe it's not really a fandom but i do find early opposites charming. it was just a lil guy making whatever he thought was cool and i think that's pretty neat :]

me whenever i examine characters by making ones that mirror one another interact...often deep down they have a lot on common but they're on different paths, sometimes different sides. sometimes this leads to resolution. often this leads to conflict. love this shit idk

probably my favorite example that i've done was a kinitopet au where a chunk of it explores kinito's disconnect from others and dehumanization by others with a player that has experienced similar and sees him as a person, breaking the cycle he's fallen into and working together to fix what he's done

unfortunately im not often invested in my own stories so this mostly applies to character explorations and AUs from media i enjoy 💔 but in my old projects i'd often have characters bounce off one another like this. i dont remember the term but i often call them parallels. mirrors.

the image in a mirror is alike, yet flipped. ...ive also noticed a highly specific pattern in characters i get invested in and focus on but it's a bit difficult to write out cleanly and im not sure what about it causes this feedback loop in me

oh and i guess i sunk to the bottom of a pool when i was 3, almost suffocated by being sat on as a kid (im serious), something involving a zipline...im also really forgetful but really like grapefruit. oops. probably several more i cant remember haha im pretty accident prone 💔 character limit amiri

the way this thread cuts off in my feed looks REALLY unfortunate due to how replies work so im replying to this so people see the context i think thats how it works i hope

it didnt kill me so separate post but i need you to know i was born yellow...wasnt done cooking they stuck me under a lamp like a rotisserie chicken..........

Some of my favorite pieces from throughout the year! A lot of it is other people's characters, but I do tend to put more into gift art haha #ArtSummary #ArtSummary2025 Here's to a kinder 2026!!
