mid-year, i decided to stop trying to fill everyone's cup and start trickling into my own. i've probably stepped on a few toes trying to do that, but my dreams are slowly unfolding in front of me and it's surreal!

i'm not jealous of other peoples success, i'm jealous of other peoples ability to do things and not be embarrassed about it!

in a world full of soul crushing news headlines, bleak ai trash posts and insufferable assholes: be different. you can create art that means something. you can be the one to trust and stand up for your friends. we can overcome the bullshit. stand strong and try to stay positive. 🫂🩷

i've struggled my whole life to celebrate myself. even when i did something amazing, i'd only see the negative. but now i have so much good in my life, i'm learning to celebrate myself and make a big deal out of me when it's deserved !

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

help, i'm addicted to #dressmaker and i can't get up...

in the age of AI, making art is a radical act

pushing back against AI isn't super easy, but i'm trying to do my part & stand with artists. and in return, the universe is allowing me to meet so many amazing artists who love & respect the craft so deeply ♡₊˚

i was so nervous about a subathon, but my community is the absolute best there is, and continuously growing 🩵

Being mean and abusive repeatedly to multiple people is NOT a mistake. It's a choice to do that to people and saying it was a mistake instead of taking accountability for the harm caused is also a choice. If a person is really willing to change they will give a real apology and do the work to atone.

I genuinely HATE having to tell people the games they are excited for have genAI. Feels like I am stabbing them. I know I'm not... I know the devs are at fault, but it doesn't make me feel any better about it...

I don't care if it was just in the concept phase, promotional pieces or translation. I'm not supporting your product if you used AI in any aspect of it.

Man it is really easy to get paranoid that everyone actually hates you but just isn’t saying it to your face 🫠

i have been saying EXACTLY this the last few days, i'm so glad i'm not the only one who recognizes this!!!!

To be happy you must eliminate two things: The fear of a bad future and the memory of a bad past.

official #subathon announcement! catathon starts on september 25th ~ all stream events (subs, follows, raids, tips, and gifts) will affect the timer, including some limited-time channel point redeems! i wanted this event to be accessible for everyone, so gifting is NEVER required ♡₊˚

streamer AND personal reminder that you don't owe anyone anything and can exclude someone from your space or your process anytime.

finally finished my exclusive badges for my first subathon (aka catathon)! i'm super proud of these and excited to see them used by my community! #pixelart #art #aseprite #subathon #streamer #twitch

i feel like as an artist, i have pretty strong takes on generative AI. but i feel like if you're an artist and you DON'T have strong takes on AI, you have no right to tell me how to feel. i'm watching my chosen career path fizzle out in front of me.

“Refusing to take a side doesn’t leave you in the middle.”

I put my hand on your shoulder. When someone removes themselves from your life, you let them do it.

working on balancing the tides between helping others but putting myself first... and for the first time feeling uplifted, encouraged, and supported through it 🩵

Aniimo Pawprint Studios. NO disclosure, claimed they didn't use any and you wouldn't find any in their game. Players found it and have been calling it out since 2025, "sketch art", promotional material and in-game. -y
