PET COMMISSIONS OPEN

Hi there, just wanted to make a post advertising pet commissions again. I made a good assuming a payment I’d get at the start of this month, which is infact the end of the month. I need some help covering bills and being able to buy food.

Commissions are $50/£40 per pet - I can do multiple pets too! Send me a message if interested

Just wanted to reblog this again. I’m open for any kind of pet to draw! Please share if you don’t mind doing so

That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.

I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.

Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

LAST 48 HOURS OF THE CAMPAIGN!!

I cannot believe how amazing the reception to these pins has been! It really warms my heart that so many people are excited to see these become real!

I've been hard at work designing the remaining stretch goals, and if you're a backer you get a direct say in what colour scheme and designs will be chosen for the final pins!

Here's all the new pins ready to be finalised~

And the biggest goal of all which we are still waiting to reach....

Lucifer

Luci will be a speciality pin with special effects and much bigger in size! But we've still got a little bit until we can hit that goal so go go go!!

Full update on these recent pins as well as polls to colourways can be found on the campaign page itself!

GET YOUR BUG PINS BEFORE THEY'RE GONE!!

All shares mega appreciated!

I needed this drag. Let’s change guys and not look back

working out your brain is a must!!

• hydrate it by drinking lots of water

• eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!

• play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!

• read books. It’s simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.

• do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!

• learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!

• go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching

• watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth

• cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns

• play or learn an instrument!

• develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)

• when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors you’re perceiving!

I hope this helps :)

I like how this went from me feeling like “hm why is this attacking me 🤨” at first, but feeling grateful seeing an added guide on a genuine expansion on a “ how to” work out the brain. This genuinely helps a bunch. People find solace in doing activities that get them through life by doing said activities of phone/tv or if that’s all they’ve ever known in their life to get them through things + etc tho. However, this was very impt to point out. Slowly beginning incorporating things to work the brain in ones own time.

Being sensitive to changes in barometric pressure is crazy what do you mean my problem is that the wind changed direction. What do you mean it's the fuckin clouds

OH and the OP has their own big ass line under whoever reblogged it. they're wasting so much space with this change. bruhhhhh don't we scroll enough already

first time i saw a reblogged post, i took it for someone screenshotting an ad. only when i saw a few more did i realize.

ugh

what the hell... why are the blog names bigger on browser now

Comics are the perfect medium they’re so perfect that God made them really tedious and unrewarding to produce so that we wouldn’t be completely overwhelmed by them
