Today would've been Zelda's 16th birthday. We had to say goodbye to her in February, but we were lucky to do so in our home. For her birthday, consider donating to the people who made that possible (or your local charities who do the same) hospicevet.com/goodbye/

Our late cat, Zelda, the best Nebelung in the whole world, sitting on the windowsill enjoying one of her few winters. She grew up in California, but got to enjoy the white snow in her last years.

A close up of Zelda, she loved to bump her head on our phones, mostly because she was craving scritches

A spread illustration of Shenpai's character, Voxer Elafiel, from their webcomic, Birdhaven. Pictured in a three-panel structure, a close-up of Voxer and his emerald eyes, his wings outstretched behind him as he runs away from the camera whilst wielding his battleaxe, and finally another close-up of his face as he smiles, his earrings and necklace visible.

Made some characters with @shenpai.gay today and 🥺 I missed this so much I LOVE CHARACTER DESIGN RAHHHHHHHH

Character art of an older man with a beard, extending a hand to the camera. The caption reads "Priest, Aurelian, he/him"

A bundled-up individual, an Aero, in a blue coat and mismatched wings holds a pickaxe in one hand and places a hand on a Torubi- a griffin creature- with a coloration in its coat that resembles a saint-bernard dog. The caption reads "Temba and Checkers"

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY MIKU I MISSED IT BY A MINUTE 😭 I was inspired by my partner to give try my hand at the Snow Miku design competition! The theme this year was Secret Metamorphosis, so I was inspired by the Tanuki! #Miku | #SnowMiku2027 | #雪ミク2027 | #雪ミク

A character sheet of Hatsune Miku for the Snow Miku 2027 design contest. This design is based on a Tanuki, giving Miku a leaf-shaped hairclip in her light blue hair to match her yellow leaf skirt. The skirt is tied with a rope, with the knot in the shape of the kanji for the number 8. She smiles, holding a kettle in hand with snowflakes adorning it. Besides her and her other views is her companion, Yukine, a white rabbit, who stand with a cup matching her kettle, a matching keaf hairclip, and matching leaf poncho. The text on the right reads: "Snow Miku 2027, タヌキ(tanuki), by SquirrelCurls, aka Melina Caron)

I think this is the first time I've done a realistic self-portrait of myself in like, 6-7 years lmao I think I still got it

First panel opens with a caricature of the artist with brown hair in a bright periwinkle peakaboo style wearing orange overalls over a short-sleeved white t-shirt and large, round glasses. "That's why I decided to draw myself in such a simple style," she says. In the second and last panel, the artist has drawn themselves realistically- their hair is black and the peakaboo is less vibrant, almost grown out. Their overalls are a bit darker than before. Her smile is crooked as she points to herself. "Would you have listened to me if I looked like this?" she asks.

I've been playing in a Cosmere Stonewalkers campaign, and oh man, it's been so much fun 🥺 Tomorrow we enter a time skip, so enjoy my PC, Pashmi, my Thaylen scholar, medic, and rogue scientist who loves poking her newly immortal friends with knives (and her axehound, Shrimp!)

A page of drawings of a woman with long dark brown hair kept in a braid and long eyebrows that are joined in the hair. She wears a short, turquoise capelette over a white long-sleeved shirt and a long corset. Her wide pants are almost akin to a layered skirt, and is decorated with orange bows. At her feet is a shrimp-like creature with 6 legs, a long tail, antennae, and a blue tongue.

CW trypophobia & body horror The Queen is free, but the hive is left behind.

A drawing of a woman sitting on the ground, a strained smile on her face as she wiped something off her face. Her dishevelled hair hangs untouched and unwashed. In her chest is a gapping hole filled with torn up honeycomb, abandoned and empty of any occupying bees. Some story bumblebees fly around as she cries honey.

cw animal death Today, we said goodbye to Zelda- not only a princess, but a queen and a diva. She's 15 and a half today, but she's always gonna be our little baby, my stinky step-daughter. Wherever she is, I hope she's enjoying her sunbaths with a hoard of toys she has claimed We'll miss you

A picture of Zelda the cat, taken about 6 or 8 years ago, when she was still living in California with her dad.

Zelda last Christmas, sitting under our tree that she loved so, so much. When we'd take it away, she'd pout for days. We kept it this year.

Watching @vulpixie.bsky.social and @shenpai.gay 's FFXIV lore is putting me through the ringer o(-< Thank you again Pixie for allowing me to bring this to life >:3c #FFXIVSpoilers #SHBSpoilers #SHB

A comic from Vulpixie's lore of her character in FFXIV post-shadowbringers. Panel 1. Vul stands, her legs shaking as she faces a fire. Panel 2. Clutching at her shirt, Vul shivers and shakes, mouth agape as her hair sticks to her face. "It's so... hot." Panel 3. Vul stands, tiny and insignificant in the face of a raging inferno amidst a ruined lobby.

Panel 1. A light ember singes Vul's bandaged hand. Panel 2. She recoils in fear. Panels 3 to 6. A spliced image of Vul, tears and sweat rolling down her face as she stares at her shaking hands. In the background a fire roars as her heart pounds louder and louder. "It burns." "It's hot." "It hurts." "It burns!" "It burns!" "Help me!" In red text bubbles, she hears a voice from a past she'd rather forget. "You should've been the one to die. Not her. Enjoy burning in hell, you monster." Panel 7. The fire rages on, the sound of her heartbeat as palpable as the flames. Panel 8. A hand rests on her shoulder, comforting.

Panel 1. Voxer, with a hand on V'ul's shoulder, steps past. V'ul looks up with surprise, her heart still pounding. "Steady on, V'ul. Deep breaths," Voxer tells her. Panel 2. Voxer, extending a hand with a look of concerned determination, as if he too has had his mind taken elsewhere by the fire, tells her: "We're going to do this together." Panel 3. V'ul looks up at Voxer, tears in her eyes as she clutches her shirt. Her beating heart has calmed. Panel 4. V'ul shakly extends her hand towards Voxer's. Panel 5. Voxer squeezes his hand tight around V'uls.

Panel 1. Voxer and V'ul rush head-first into the inferno. Determination claim's Voxer's face. V'ul follows, hand in hand, her tears still present but her mind set, trusting her friend. "Don't let go."
