This is Starbles's side blog.
I'll use this page to ramble and reblog stuff I find cool. I might share original art and sketches here as well.

falling down a flight of stairs stimboard ?
yup, you heard me
this was my third and last try at it
my neurodivergent ass could not handle the typical school system regimen, so at last i realized it is not for me
i still want to pursue animation and at minimum illustration, but the demanding nature of college just wasn’t it besides, a piece of paper with a signature isn’t everything there is to life
so what’s next¿
i’m not sure, but that’s how i’ve been all my life so… currently looking for a job is a priority, and i'm not interested in a career, i’m just looking for the least annoying way to afford food and shelter on my own to be honest hahah
changed my do’s and don’ts by the way… cough cough 18+ cough…
i also made a side blog for that kind of art, but i don’t feel like plugging it in here for the sake of those who don't want to see that stuff, but there is a link to it here in my blog, if you know where to look that is
Two animals people need to shut the fuck up about and be normal are pandas and dolphins
Respectfully, no.
Pandas are only alive because they're cute.
Dolphins are sex criminals and drug fiends.
No. Pandas are animals that evolved to fit a particular biome. The fact that they don't reproduce well in captivity isn't a mark against them, it's a mark against captivity. They, like almost any animal, are threatened by fragmented habitat and are luckily cute enough to get the funding necessary to conserve them. If not for similar conservation efforts all kinds of animals of varying degrees of cuteness would be dead as well. Nobody is calling for the abandonment of the black footed ferret project because ferrets are cute and somehow that makes them less-than in the eyes of slack jawed edgy douchebro comedians.
Dolphins are mammals and enjoy things that mammals commonly enjoy, such as intoxicants, and if you're going to pretend to be shocked and disgusted by a dolphin getting high you'll also have to throw away reindeer and every other animal that enjoys fermented juices including fruit flies. Dolphins are perceived by humans as being more intelligent and therefore more culpable to "sins" than other animals but humans can't even agree on what's immoral let alone expecting a non human animal to magically ascribe to our same biases for no reason and assign the animal negative traits when it fails to meet that asinine expectation.
The sooner you stop trying to shoehorn in some fake idea of an animal being more or less deserving of its existence the easier it will be to get through to people.
Which I should just go ahead and say right now, the OP was inspired by an article about a woman who was injured in a dolphin petting pen on vacation and the comments were full of people blaming THE DOLPHIN because "theyre nasty violent rapists" and not the humans, who captured it, forced it into a pen, and climbed and petted all over it knowing full well it was a large wild predator that had no business being swarmed by untrained fucking idiots.
It may have been haha funny shocking animal fact at first but now it's ruined because too many people started buying that shit for real and now we have people who no longer want to preserve the sea otter because it doesn't know what consent is.
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
Support real artists ☀️
yeah, people have pointed out how ironic it is that for all Musk's stupid invocations of The Matrix, Vivian is the one whose life story has played out like Neo
It's very common for former "designer babies" to have trauma from not just the fact that they were basically a product sold to their parents as superior healthy optimized children, but also because biology doesn't work like that & the science is overhyped so many parents become resentful & abusive when the perfect kid they paid a lot of money for ends up just being a regular imperfect human being.
The first "designer babies" are already fully grown adults & many of them are speaking out about how messed up it is.
Do you like the new shot of William Afton in the fnaf 2 movie trailer
i love shots like these where you can't exactly see the face, makes me think he's an hallucination and not actually there. i like it! i reckon people thought it looked silly? i can see why, though i haven't been on fnaf twitter to know for sure
jokes aside, i would find it unironically haunting if it weren't for the lighting. my parents' house has a hallway similar to the one from the teaser, which means: not exactly very fun getting out of bed late at night and the bathroom is located somewhere you are forced to face the darkness at the other end
i mean, yeah. i'd be spooked if i saw William Afton there, but oh you know me 🤭
y’all expose yourselves and take this fanfic test i was just forced to by an irl so now i’m making you too
In my weak defense I’m in a lot of smaller or old fandoms and you take what you get. Also i don’t usually use the exclude option and i love when the crack is treated seriously.
