Explain your @ When I created my Discord account, I needed a profile pic. I scrolled through the images I'd saved on my phone and found one that spliced frames from the anime to make a Rowlet with a Xatu face and crossed arms. I picked it on a whim. Years later, Rowlet has now become my persona.

A mashup of two similar pitures of Rowlet. The top half of the Rowlet has facial features imitating a Xatu (long beak, thousand-yard stare eyes), while the bottom half has its wings crossed in a dissapproving manner.

The original image of the top half (Xatu imitation).

The original image of the bottom half (wings crossed, now with a dissapproving expression to match)

Saw @famimatsu.bsky.social's version of this and thought it'd be fun to make my own iceberg for The Butterfly Project! I never get to gush about the deeper parts of the story enough, I always feel they're too "spoilery," but through trends I am UNCHAINED

An Iceberg with lines separating into vertical slices.

"Rue's Lycanthropy"
"The wolf's influence"
"Going "primal""
Level 2:
"Mike's inspirational father"
"Rue's self loathing"
"Sypher Genetics"
Level 3:
"Rue's fear of guns"
"The Ephora massacre"
"The Butterfly Project"
Level 4:
"Kira Paulto: Subject 2"
"What it means to be human"
"Kira's betryal"
Level 5:
"Keval family trauma"
"Nightly transformations are placebo"
"This IS Rue's "good ending"
Level 6:
"Trevor Hennic: The first hybrid"
"Kira is jealous of Rue's tragedy"
"They didn't plan on loving her"

Alex, Summer, and Raymond have very short fuses when it comes to any sort of stereotyping, racism, and general otherism. Summer tends to simply oppose the validity of the claim/action while Alex and Ray go for the proverbial jugular of the offending party. Alex can even get pretty physical about it.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Oh so many, but here are a few of them: - When eating Raspberries/Blackberries, Riel likes to break off the drupelets to eat individually. - Skyler has a different dice set for each type of roll when playing TTRPGs. - Ryka likes to put on voices, accents, and/or imitations to make jokes.

Wish I could internalize this

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage.

The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

Quote this and introduce your favorite OC, and share the OC love 💖 I'm terrible with picking single favorites but I certainly have some top picks! Rue, Elise, Callum, Skyler, Jasper, and Merah! (Rue, Elise, and Skyler art: @thejessofmess.bsky.social, Callum art: @friendlyfangs.bsky.social)

A full body artwork of my OC Rue Almora, a slim human child with brown hair that blends to whitish blonde at the tips. Her pose and expression are timid and reserved, and she is figiting with her sweater shirt.

A full body artwork of my OC Elise Feeni, a violet and pink siren (for context, sirens have largely the same body structure as conventional mermaids). She is underwater, looking up to the surface with an expression of whimsy and contentment, holding her long sliver hair away from her face.

A fullbody artwork of my DnD OC Callum Bagamire, a dragonborn sorcerer/bard. He is in a tavern with his violin in hand, one foot up on a stool as he performs with a cheerful expression. He is holding a mug of ale with his tail.

A full body artwork of my OC Skyler Tyrenzo, a draconian (for context, draconians are humanoid, human in appearance save for dragon horns protruding from their head). He is walking with an introverted posture, glancing up at something or someone unseen in the direction of the viewer. His hoodie is up, concealing his horns.

It's always a crazy feeling to step back and think "this thing I made did not exist before. I have pulled a thought from the creative aether and through sigils and spellcraft (art and words) I have conjured something that exists, that is real, that is tangible." Creativity is real world magic

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'

I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

Nowadays I keep a store of them in my notes (same goes for places/objects/etc) As to how I supply those stores, my day to day life provides a steady supply, usually with my ADHD absentmindedly smashing syllables together. The only change is I write'em down instead of letting them go into the ether.

I've been seeing a lot of pixel artists struggle with Bluesky's image compression, so I'd thought I'd share how to get clear, crisp pixels on the site! Share to help a fellow pixel-artist! #pixelart #tutorial

When uploading to Bluesky, remember to resize your works to 800%!

Why? Images are converted to .jpeg when uploaded. .jpeg compresses the image into 8x8 pixel blocks.

If a block has more than one colour, that dreaded compression occurs!

I went ahead and did that art emotion quiz. Not entirely accurate, but not inaccurate either. Standard online quiz affair. I believe I create for the sake of expression. Which yes, is sometimes love. But I also express sadness, regret, acceptance, longing. I express MYSELF. uquiz.com/quiz/p0u5c3/...

An image with text from an art quiz:
Love. You create from love. It is an overflowing love that seeps out of your heart and into all that you create. You couldn't possibly contain it inside yourself, and so you dedicate yourself to depicting it through everything you make. Your art is a celebration of what you cherish most, a loving tribute to everything that captivates you. There are things too wonderful to be appreciated in silence, and so you sing your love time and time again. You are determined not to let your vast love go unnoticed or forgotten. That's why your work is a declaration of affection, an expression of fondness for everything that makes your life worth living.
