peacockpete @peacockpete.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It’s amazing how quickly I go from being happy to talk to someone about being an artist to wanting them to take a nip of strychnine the moment they say, “Paint me like one of your French girls.” 140

Top marks to the YouTuber who spliced the full unedited version into the original clip. Early evening gore? This is what they want! 59017

She soon made headlines as "ex GI becomes blonde bombshell", and she used her platform to advocate for trans rights and visibility. 0399

peacockpete @peacockpete.bsky.social · 11/09/2026If I’d seen this even 3 months ago, I’m not sure I’d have believed I painted this. And over the last few months I’ve been struggling to find consistency. But I’ve researched and explored in an attempt to improve Am I as ‘good’ as I want to be yet? No, and I don’t expect to be. But it’s improving! 3190

peacockpete @peacockpete.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I do see a lot of comment on a show that people love and understandably want more of. “I want 10 seasons!” “Double the episodes!” Honestly, I’m happy with 8 great episodes for maybe 4-5 years of the quality’s good over getting as much out to fulfil demand. 140

peacockpete @peacockpete.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Just had my work photo taken. Couldn’t find a natural pose and the photographer asked me what my motivation was. “Superiority and arrogance.” We went through the photos:and he said I looked like I was commanding the Great Eastern. Job done. 080
peacockpete @peacockpete.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Being somewhat chronically online, I tend to forget certain things. Like a whole world that just accepts Harry Potter as they remember it with absolutely no dark shadow over it at all. Had to have ‘the talk’ today. I’m sure some might think I’m being a killjoy, but this stuff can’t slide anymore. 060
peacockpete @peacockpete.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Couldn’t help it, but when a colleague said about a particular behaviour of mine, “Maybe that’s a Virgo thing,” I had to reply that I wasn’t going to talk about it anymore if they’re just going to be silly 140
