YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EARN KINDNESS.

For every reblog a trans woman gets a hug and a penguin

It's been a bit since I posted some of my art, so here are some WIPs.

Top Left: Moth boi. Doesn't have a name yet, so suggestions are welcome!

Top Right: body type studies

Middle Left: Bek, an oc that i made for an IZ AU that I'll probably never post about. Idk

Middle Right: design options for a character from one of my original stories. Her name is Hayling (she's named after a song) and she's either a ghost child or an entity disguising as a kid.

Bottom Left: toddler version of the alien oc in my pinned post. Might name them Sprite, but suggestions are welcome!

Bottom Right: a character for yet another one of my original stories. Their name is Frankie and they're a bit rude and feral.

I hope I'll finish these soon, but idk because I'm pretty busy rn. Hopefully after New Year's things will calm down a bit.

there's like a tiktok thing rn where parents show off the quirky fun ways they're "punishing" their children around christmas time as if it's a cute seasonal diy and it's all genuinely so sick and concerning. a woman smugly painting and wrapping a rock in gift wrap to pull some revenge stunt on her 3(!!) year old for misbehaving the day before, a man throwing a (fake) present into the oven in front of his kindergarten kids, referring to them as "little fuckers" and recommending other parents do the same to really get them good. ideally if they still believe in santa. ending with a close up on their heartbroken sobbing little faces, on a maybe 8 year old girl burying her red face in her hands and turning away from the camera because she's old enough to be embarrassed about being recorded for mommy's clicks while she's crying but unable to do anything about it, on a little boy in 101 dalmatians pajamas pulling his knees to his chest and crying in such a way you can tell he's even trying to do it quietly. i don't want to go into detail on what kind of ghouls even watch this content. and the way it's exacerbated by the social media spectacle too- literally egging each other on to pull off the most click-worthy and unique prank channel style punishments, exposing private and embarrassing situations to a platform used by millions, all to lap up the validation and praise of the completely random strangers that you publicly humiliate your child for. if this demented shit teaches them anything it'll be a deep and personal appreciation for this meme

Here's a sketch of Tak that I'm pretty happy with.

Also yes, my posting is inconsistent, I'll try to fix that.

More GIR.

I swear I draw him way too much lol

western kentucky tornado relief

hi, it would mean a lot to me if yall shared this post. last night (12/10/21) a historically massive and destructive tornado tore through four different states. the hardest hit area was western kentucky. mayfield, a town about 20 minutes from my home town, was completely leveled. a candle factory there collapsed with 110 people inside, only 40 have been rescued and the last live recovery was from 4 am this morning. the death toll in kentucky is expected to be at least 100 people.

here are some places you can donate to relief efforts:

Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund

University of Kentucky College of Medicine Tornado Relief GoFundMe

Muslim Communities of Kentucky/Muslim Americans for Compassion GoFundMe

GoFundMe for Bremen, Kentucky, another small community destroyed

Hello! Here's some traditional art that I made recently.

Slight gore/blood warning?

The boy in two of the drawings is my oc Gaz. He's a monster boi so that's why he's got antennae. I created him last year around November, and he's for a story I'm working on that I'll be posting about.

The character in the last sketch is Corin. I made him just this year around Halloween, but I'll talk about him some other time.

Well that's it for now.

Ummm byee

Hey, I'm doing character commissions! Just send me a description of the character, and maybe a moodboard or something, and when I'm done I'll send you the reference sheet. I'm not charging anything, this is completely for free. And it's not a scam or anything, I'm just bored.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)
