I find it very difficult to get the idea from my mind into the DAW. it's always something really weird.

when they tell you not to make friends with that one filly in class because she's all red flags, but then you make friends with her anyways and now she's in your food.

Edited photo of a takeout bowl of Taiwanese fried chicken with rice, buns, and vegetables, with a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic style red filly character edited into the bowl. There's a red arrow pointing at her too.

felt like drawing K1558 [oc:kayleron] but i had a video open about an mlp rainbow dash episode and i end up drawing pony slop style

Digital sketch of a feral gryphon character standing confidently, facing half-way towards the left side of the screen. She has a puff of feathers on her forehead, lynx-like ears, both a cat-like tail and tail feathers, and is wearing round glasses.

c1558s on a PS-70 (Pegasus Sex 70) minimal weight shift control helicopter in create aeronautics??? art by spacefarer

Black and white digital line drawing depicting a MLP changeling filly riding a strange blocky flying machine from the Minecraft mod "Create: Aeronautics" viewed from the front and facing slightly towards the left of the canvas. There's Minecraft pistons on front, left, right, and back of the machine, and the left piston (on the right of the image) is extended. There's a tiny blocky propeller at the top of the machine too, and an internal combustion engine at the bottom with an arrow pointing at it for some reason. The changeling filly is wearing round glasses, sitting on one side of the machine with a controller under her left front leg and her right front leg is lifted up.
Text on the top-right of the canvas reads "Sorry for fucking obliterating your bonemeal farm -SF" followed by a strange symbol.

the first art depicting C1558, from Sept 2023. The changeling obsession goes all the way back to 2012 or 2013, so I think that's ingrained in me and never going away.

Digital art of two characters: A fluffy green gryphon character on the left being magically levitated by a changeling character on the right. The changeling species originates from My Little Pony. The changeling is saying "bird". The gryphon's forelimbs are tied together with green slime, implying that the gryphon is captured. The gryphon doesn't seem to mind and is focused on something else out-of-frame.

I feel like my appearance doesn't match my personality. I look all cute and huggable on the outside but half of my head is that 'ranty programmer type' who is skeptical and argues a lot but is very practical, named 558. Sometimes they feel like they're stuck in my body, dealing with my problems.

Photo of a person with long straight slightly-messy hair wearing a black jacket and glasses viewed from behind holding a Trixie Lulamoon plushie up to a small pine tree in a wooded area. She is also holding a shoulder bag and tote, obscured from view.

you barely even know me; why would you say that? I've interacted with and made friends with people who support mare fair; online and at cons. Many are queer and/or left-leaning. If they were nazis, they would have hated my existence, and the whole idea of grown men liking culturally feminine things.

Two screenshots edited together and annotated. The first screenshot shows a bluesky reply post from Charlotte☭🏳️‍⚧️ to cicadalous (text cut off the edge of the image) reading "you are a fucking brainlet" The word "brainlet" is underlined and the next image is a screenshot of an article on 'brainlet' on knowyourmeme.com, annotations pointing at "4chan" being the "earliest archived use of the term brainlet"

there's something about my art from my TOSSAFISH period (2021..2022) that i've lost or forgotten about today.

Digital painting of a magpie character with a jetpack in some surreal environment, perched on a metal structure looking at what seems to be a bird house with a hole. A sign above it reads "WARNING BIRD ENTRANCE"

Digital painting of two bird characters exploring a strange landscape of warm incandescent cubic lamps with random unicode characters on them, atop large towering machines made of metal sheets and many wires. The sky is dark purple and cloudy, rough outlines of more cube lamps shine through the thin fog.

the fillys are a deeply rooted and complex part of my soul; there is nothing anycreature can do about it.

Digital drawing of red filly character sitting and smiling on what seems to be a game of minesweeper. She is surrounded by blue ones (the number), implying that she is sitting on a mine. Text above reads "Red Flag mentioned!! <3"

when I landed in amsterdam, the first thing that got my attention was KLM jets and their livery. to be straightforward, I find them hot and attractive. they tickle my brain in a certain way with that blue countershade, likely because they resemble the carapace of a changeling drone or something.

Photo of a KLM commercial airliner (Boeing 737-8K2WL) parked at an airport terminal with a passenger boarding bridge connected to it and multiple service vehicles working around it. The plane's cabin is painted light blue, and its belly is white.

this is based on a true story. It was a tiny burger and i only had a few bites left. I put a small piece down for crow and they eat (didn't stuff the beak unfortunately). I put the remaining down and they eat all that too. This one interaction was enough for crow to remember me 2 weeks later.

a social media post reading:

2019 January 11: I fed a crow some meat at the campus

2019 January 25: a crow started following me as I was headed to the on-campus tim hortons. crow was waiting for me outside the window. when I went out and sat on a bench, the crow landed very close. I then offered granola.

sometimes I feel like my art peaked around TOSSAFISH, at least from a technical standpoint. A lot of my stuff today is more personal and emotionally charged.
