oh your art is messy and full of mistakes? it doesn't mirror properly? the proportions are weird because you grew up on a mix of anime and 3D platformers? you drew on the wrong layer and now the highlights are weird? that rules, dude, show me more; a horrible computer could never make that

We found out that Robyn Addison- voice of Y’shtola- also voiced Titania… as we were about to meet her at Kupocon. so we speedran an art card in the queue for her to sign. 🫡 worth it. #ffxiv
A hand draws the lines of an art card of Titania from Final Fantasy XIV on top of a sketchbook. Beside it is a Final Fantasy trading card of Y’shtola, and below a phone with a reference of the large fae looking creature being drawn.A woman smiles at a convention signing booth, as she holds up the finished art card of a character she voice acts. The card is signed with her name: Robyn Addison.

Oh #Artfight note: We are planning on participating this year, but due to health we might only be doing a few pieces, or more sketchy-uncoloured experimentals. We’re hoping to get James & co’s RDRP refs up too by July as our featured. artfight.net/~Otherbuttons

This year has, to be frank, not gone the way we wanted. And health decline is threatening it ever going that way again. We refuse to give up trying; but it's heavy, and it's crushing, and it's waiting and hoping. A step forward, two steps back, and a whole lot of fighting. So we're resting.

Alistar Kensington (& the Broadcasting System) @otherbuttons.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Still alive! Been quiet due to cognitive decline, daily silent migraines (or akin to it), and general fatigue. It's been a lot of attempting recovery and then having fun with hobbies in the evening, but honestly most of it is just. waiting lists at this point. So we're off work/social media.

Hi everyone. Transfem artist/arg dev in need of support. 1/2 ko-fi.com/withkindereyes
For the last 2 years I have been living in Boston with my roommate. The day after we signed to renew the lease on our shared apartment, they got accepted into Penn State and are now planning to move there. They are already looking for someone to take over our lease.
There's no way I will be able to stay in Boston.

This leaves me with a few options.Option 1)
My roommate is planning to rent a 2
bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania, and would be fine with me living there with them for a year if l can find a job in the area. After a year I would be expected to move out since they want to live on their own without roommates. If this happens I could most likely get by on my own between a job, patreon supporters and commissions since rent is cheaper.
Patreon supportersOption 2)
If I could find a high paying job in Ohio, I could move in with my grandmother in Cleveland.
This isn't really ideal since I would have to leave the house on days my dad visits her.
Option 3)
I'm being heavily pressured to move back in with my mom who would give me 3 months to find a job in Ohio. If I can't find a job within that time frame l'd likely be unhoused once the 3 months are up. Going back to that house would be bad for a number of reasons: less privacy, less ability to talk to people, and it's an extremely abusive environment.Right now, I'm saving as much money as I can to prepare for this. Any help finding employment in Pennsylvania or Ohio would be greatly appreciated.
I would be totally ok living on my own as long as I can support myself financially. I need to save for covering the first/last months rent on a new apartment, moving costs, debt, monthly expenses, etc.
I'm really hoping in the next few years I can find stable long term housing instead of having to repeat this song and dance every year.
Thank you for your help. •

All four photos are a man and his beautiful wife who definitely know what they’re doing. Every one is either poorly framed or blurry.

The Guardian is running damage control for Gaiman again, using a misleading pull headline. Once again: the case was dropped because it needs to be pursued in New Zealand where the alleged offences took place. This is not new information, and has already been reported on. So heads up.
Pull headline: "US judges dismiss lawsuits accusing Neil Gaiman of sexism assault" from The Guardian "Pavlovich also dropped the portion of the Wisconsin lawsuit against Palmer in May, and US district judge James Peterson in Madison dismissed the rest of it in October, saying Pavlovich needed to pursue the case in New Zealand. US district judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston threw out the Massachusetts filing on Friday on the same grounds."top of the article that reads "us judges dismiss lawsuits accusing Neil Gaiman of sexism assault" and the article begins "federal judges have dismissed three lawsuits accusing the best selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman of security assaulting his children's nanny in new Zealand four years ago"

It’s one of those things that we’ve picked up naturally, but as an autistic actor we struggle sometimes to make it feel real To Us. But at the same time, it’s hard to know if that’s just a disconnect being autistic. It can also be the disconnect of us not believing it making it less so- we got this

I cannot quite say how much life has been up and down with health and adjustments lately, because I literally don’t have the energy or the brain workings. But we have theatre class tonight and I am so excited because I think we’re getting pointers on how to really make acting believable. ;u;

The six-seven reply coming from an account that’s referencing Vib Ribbon- a PS1 game from the late 1990s- is the bizarre icing on the cake. I can only read it in Vibri’s voice.

Very dependent on how short, but we were 5’5” and 13 stone, and ours was fine with it. ✨ We’ve seen top surgery happen for folk online that would likely count as obese, so if that’s any consolation. Best of luck though!! Zero regrets for getting ours. Could not recommend it more.

instead ask:

- Is it SINCERE
- is it CATHARTIC
- was it FUN TO MAKE

Positivity and hope, even when it seems impossible, is something we’re clinging onto this year. To be real, I don’t know if we can get through without it. Our physical health in particular had gotten worse, and with finally pursuing performing, knowing it stops us is frustrating. But we have hope.

It’ll potentially be years until we’re seen, diagnosed, and given medication- if it even agrees with us enough to work. And that hurts, I won’t lie. But it’s still a positive- a potential. For now we change our diet, avoid triggers where we can, and continue our H1s- it’s not all bad. 🤍

The last week has been a muddle of medical, new meds, nasty side-effects… sadly as much as the H2 Anti-Histamines worked, the negatives were unbearable. And Quercetin would mean a week of pressure headaches for something that might negatively impact transition knowing our luck. So, we wait.

so it turns out you can have a secondary allergic reaction. Throat closed up so tight we felt like we were swallowing a golf ball. :V I know we’ve had these symptoms before, but we just thought it was fibro. Now we know what it is, it’s a tad bit scary innit.

Wait what am I talking about- we’ve watched Hallmark’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ a million times. That likely knocks Casper off the list. But we will forever watch that movie if not just to stare at Dr. James Harvey’s incredible fashion sense and general daddery.

Our top five most watched movies (as far as we can recall) - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) - Coraline - Casper (1995) - Moulin Rouge - Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (2005) We don’t watch movies as much these days, so a good portion of these are from hyperfixation re-watches.

2026 is the year of being kind to yourself. Of trying to find the silver lining instead of letting your brain drag you down into constant negativity. Of aiming to be you, through and through. Of rest and recovery. 💖 It’s not going to be easy to do, but it’s better than not trying.

By putting less pressure onto ourself from the start, it’s been easier to let ourself relax and be patient. No ‘I need to do xyz’, no major deadlines. Although we are now working on getting our study and studio back into order so we can return to streaming. And even then it’ll be more relaxed.

I’m very thankful that we’ve gone into this year with a slower mindset, considering how our week has been already: Two multiple-stage allergic reactions (one that had us on the phone to 111), general health troubles, and a ridiculous amount of dissociation due to multiple primary alters fusing.
