🔞. A 40-year-old shep with a taste for the large and a tendency to be morose. Incessant source of mediocre art and bad puns.

Constantly baffled by Tumblr's adult content warning system. A photo of a sleepy dog in bed is tied up in review for years, but within milliseconds of me reporting a video of a men's locker room, I get an email saying "How DARE you think that bare ass is NSFW!"

I can't wait for Christopher Nolan's "Cinderella," where there is no fairy godmother, she doesn't actually want to go to the ball, the crew scatters half a ton of biohazardous waste through the gardens of Versailles, and no one in the cast is actually French.

Maki Shimizu, my roommate's character in a Persona tabletop campaign. A bubbly, cheerful college student with a secret or two in her cello case. Her Persona, Púca, is a shapeshifting trickster spirit from Irish lore, who also seems to be hiding something behind those big, innocent eyes.

A character concept picture of a young woman dressed in downplayed genki fashion, with a big baggy nekomimi hoodie, a pleated school uniform skirt, striped stockings, and army boots. Her hair is dyed in pink ombré and pulled up in twin pigtails. She makes a heart with her hands and poses cutely in front of a rabbit-like creature a little shorter than herself. The rabbit has large shiny blue eyes, a dark gray star on its forehead, and a shy posture. To the right of this is another concept picture of the rabbit creature, who has split open around a zipper to allow a massive, muscular horse demon to erupt from its body. The horse grins with an unnaturally wide mouth and sharp fangs, red eyes bulging grotesquely. Its muscular arms end in powerful hands, which are clenched around brass knuckles.

Coming to the uncomfortable realization of just how many of my characters have personalities that boil down to "extraordinary powers and zero self-confidence."

Also this goes for every commissioner out there. SFW & NSFW Artists get targeted by PP regardless if they are complying to their rules or not. So, please do not give them any reason to freeze someone's account and ban them from using PP, some people don't have other options but to use it.

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

Incorrect replies to "I've got that dog in me": • "... you ATE A DOG?! 😱" • "Is he a good boy? Is he? Does he wants a tummy wubs?" • "... I'm not really into pup play, sorry."

"I have met many people with their heads stuck up their own asses, but this is probably the first time I've seen someone so self important that it's coming all the way up out of his mouth again. That shouldn't be physically possible, and yet here we are."

Always fascinating how many social media sites will be like "Actually a drawing of massive dong and balls is totally safe for work because there's a layer of shrink wrap on dat ass."

Bleh. Person I find irksome, so I mute their username so I don't have to think about them ... ... but they keep changing their username, and we have enough interests in common that their commissions start popping up in my recs again. It's like playing mute Whack-a-Mole.

"You probably know me in one of two facets: as the timid fellow in the back corner who rarely speaks, or as the hyperfixated fanatic who doesn't know how to shut up. Those of you who have not yet met this second facet of me have my apologies in advance."

Constantly baffled by Tumblr's auto-moderator. Photo of a fat guy existing? Obviously unhealthy smut that needs to be gatekept from innocent eyes. Ad for a mobile game where a woman in a schoolgirl dress does a striptease for you when you do a puzzle? Totes A-OK!

"Dear Sister," murmured the Sower, "weep not. We are here, all of us, to help you." The Harvester once more took heart, and with Their aid, She crafted children of Her own: the beings now known as Humans.

A drawing of eight gods. The central figure, a thin woman with skin like the night sky wrapped in a dark robe, looks up with tears in her eyes. The other seven surround her in comfort: a plump woman with pale tattooed skin in a golden robe of the dawn sky, an ocher figure like a mountain with a beard of stalactites, a glowing figure with a gown of flames, a spiky many-eyed figure covered in electrical arcs, a fox-like figure with fur of hoar-frost, a floating hollow figure with whistling holes and whirlwind hair, and a fish-like figure with a body as long and slender as a river.

"Geological topiary is a favorite pastime among the elder dragons. I once knew an ancient wyrm who spent millennia carefully guiding the erosion of a mountain range to shape it into an obscene gesture at the moon."

What my roommate says: "I'd like to go to Costco this week." What I fail to realize he means: "INSTEAD of the grocery store tonight." Autism rears its ugly head again.
