i remember looking at the open mug of booze that i'd sloshed all over the forest, seeing my half-naked trans body, seeing the furry tail my 12 year old self wouldve killed to scamper around in, feeling loved and free not embarrassed i was just existing

digital sketch page of the lamb from cult of the lamb, drawn in a chalky cartoony style. the lamb is talking, saying "i think everyone should be married to me and live forever and eat each other's dead bodies and never grow old and have sex and prance around naked and drunk all day and if you dissent to this i kill you."

FUCK YAH like i 1000% understand having ur heart in a city so i never wanna patronize that sentiment, but i was hoping you'd be able try a new city. i think the only way to stay would be starting a new community in pgh, which isn't what u wanna do ... THIS IS REALLY EXCITING

This GFM for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good is still up and they have raised close to a million dollars. Please read this thread and report the fundraiser. This man killed an innocent person and will most likely kill again because that's what ICE agents do. He doesn't deserve to be wealthy.

WHEN DID U DO MULLET

28.12.2025 17:03 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

yes............. i think mullet often leans dirtbag, and that would be a very fun contrast with ur line of work and interests and current aesthetic sense. also if u hate it, u can just chop off the bottom and ur back to short hair!

how do u handle friends that consistently mess up ur pronouns, but DO immediately correct themselves? it still gives me massive dysphoria b4 and after every hang, and i dont wanna mix em w/ friends that DO see me for me, in case that wrong perception rubs off on them ?

#artvsartist ! i got a LONG sentimental post about this on my insta, but the tldr is that 2025 was a lot.
my highlights are:
- was a guest speaker on magfest alt control panel
- showed bloodrage as its own event at a Real venue
- showed my solo game, pan, 3x (incl barcelona!)
- didnt die
