Happy 16th birthday to my chiweenie, my chonquito hobbito, my sweetest, gentle, tsundere baby boy Taquito. He was adopted by an elderly man who died when he was 2. Since he doesn't know how to play & prefers cuddling, we assume he was his cuddle bug. He was sent to the pound... Enter: my sister.

My mom is his favorite, but he follows my dad around when he worries about him. He sees if I'm upset or sick, & stands in front of me until I sit down to pet him therapeutically. He learned to love visitors, after a lifetime of overprotection. Happy birthday, son. Thank you for being born.

(yes, when I saw the dog from "Secret Life of Pets" had a super similar backstory with his elderly owner passing away, it DID make me tear up a few times when my nephew put it on to watch when he came to visit despite being a super fucking mid movie, why do you ask, lol?)

My sister adopted him because she said he was the only dog too terrified to approach her in his kennel at the pound. He looked broken & depressed. Upon adoption? He shivered in fear, had separation anxiety. But jumped for joy, loved cuddles. She had my nephew, so I took Taquito in 10 years ago.

I have a few digital collages of varying quality, let's start with a crappy lil' one that's straight up Forklift Certified. They all have weird amounts of meat (if not borderline gore) mixed with anime girls, for the most part.

(OC) simple Asha Lynn Lee pissed faces done in ink on paper. She's a pop star who gets kidnapped by a vampire & a cannibal, but is SUCH a bitch (reverent tone indicator) that she emotionally brutalizes them into compliance until the tables turn.

Traditional #shigaraki from #bnha comm for a friend I did a couple years back. I learned I can draw Monster Energy cans that day; I used ink & colored pencil then glossed some white pain over them to sorta sell the effect.

JACKING OFF POST SURGERY & more hilarious (yet painful!) acts to do without a gallbladder: Bsky "darling" Sphaliro tells all in his heartwarming/crotch-stimulating memoir! "I can never admit *how* I J.O," he says. "The virgin-hunters will hunt me down for my rare gap-moe. I'm scared..." How cool!

Here's a stupid comic I made when Oldschool Mickey Mouse got in the public domain. I don't endorse the shit gramps is spitting here, he's from another generation, man!

They make sure time travel never gets in the hands of the common man because the Vatican is devoted from keeping me from getting my hands on the ever-breedable Buster Keaton's mopey twink ass in between his delightful film stunts & antics. It would cause the President James Dean continuity (again)

Vampire with braces for my tentative brand, [club nico]. I was/am going to do a collection of monsters with a twist to them like this, I have a mermaid WIP for the future as well.

Medieval bestiary style Fresno Nightcrawler design for a clothing brand I never quite got off the ground, but you could still find soft-launched from years back on P.O.D sites if you looked. I'll post a few designs here from it off & on.

"My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms, the way you lifted others into yours." #fnaf #charlieemily

My OCs; the Space-Time Witch Soradjil-ha (Sora) & her hapless clone sent to earth by mistake, Sheila. Sheila might be the only person capable of stopping her, but unfortunately, Sheila got none of her brain cells, so she's literally too stupid to use their shared powers for this.

I've had these OCs for over 20 years; by far my oldest little world. I want to turn them blonde, but am not sure if "dumb blonde" is too played out, so maybe ginger? They've been brunette forever & I'm thinking of a minor change like that.

1/4 I got into the Walten Files so I drew some art of my OC Yohann in the style a while ago. [Yohann Straub 21 years old (born 1961) Y: Ha ha, you don't need a job to eat, you know. Not if you're clever]

My Spidersona, The Incorrigible Spider-Man. The goal was to make a really vile little guy with uncomfortable focus on toes. He does heroic things, mainly as an excuse to cannibalize bad guys, which he did before getting spidered. He's an idiot who assumes nobody likes him because they're homophobic.

Since I haven't had time to draw lately, I'm going to share some old art I've never shared on bsky before a few times a day or week, that has been uploaded on my tumblr in the past. It's mostly OCs, but also fan art for things like FNAF & Deadly Premonition.

Sometimes I see some of y'all reskeet fetish art I have absolutely no interest in, but it's totally harmless & chill regardless of how "weird" normies might think it is. I want you to know I see you & am giving you a chill nod & thumbs up. Keep being your own brand of freak, you crazy diamonds.

Sorry I haven't been on in a hot minute, I just got out of the hospital after getting my gallbladder removed. You know how sick I was because I didn't even get to ask for photos of it to share. It was apparently twice as large as it should have been for someone twice my size, & full of stones.

A good thing happened though. I stayed for 4.5 days (way too long for this surgery, it's normally a 1 day thing), so they brought in therapy dogs to help encourage me 🥺 they were sisters, and very soft x silky. They were making rounds after visiting the children's ward to play follow-the-leader!

When is my character going to develop enough to either stop getting put through all this bullshit, because my god, I keep trying to get more interesting & have cooler irl lore but it's not fucking working. It's kinda doing the opposite by making me too sick to do cool shit

Thinkin bout that Dilandau twist in Vision of Escaflowne when I was watching as a repressed Catholic 12 year old. I was so mind-blown, but I also realized I was no longer going to hell, so I just lied down in my bed & deadass stared at my ceiling for a good hour or so. That explains a lot about me.

All the shockingly evil shit I'm told on a daily basis by people who have always thought they loved me has really given me a lot of character development for my writing career
