Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sometimes I think about the adults who used to shame me for drawing fan art as a literal child because it's "not your idea." It's a fair critique, but these same boomers are now sitting there generating AI slop on their phones, because apparently stealing at a large enough scale is totally fine. 020
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Got tot he part of Naruto where we met small baby Kurama. Bless. 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Reward myself for getting through some work tasks and some extra busy life stuff by buying a nice anime figure off of FB marketplace. Guy says “oh I hope you display him well I never had the space” The way I display the figure: 020
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My Tomodachi Life island continues to be a place that should probably just sink into the sea for the good of society. 000
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Shit if I knew this would pop off I would have spent more than 5 minutes on this terrible drawing lmao… except also Jace doesn’t deserve my time so I take that back actually 111
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Some happy moments from the last couple of weeks to reflect on 000
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Every time I look at the giant salt block attached to the wall in the horses’ stalls my intrusive thoughts tell me to lick it. They win about 60% of the time. 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 12/09/2026An assortment of little dragon planters and other art goodies I was selling this afternoon at a local artist pop up market 💖 I ended up selling all but one of the dragons as well as some stickers and prints 020
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 12/09/2026MTG story like Jace, the "Theorist": I AM THE INFINITELY SMART BOY I HAVE CRAFTED THE IDEAL MULTIVERSE WITH MY HUGE INCREDIBLE POWERFUL BRAIN!!! Creates a series of Opposite Day - ass fanfic AUs that are basically like "what if ocean lady was fire dragon lady and what if desert place was ice place" 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Sometimes all you need to feel better after kind of a bad day is to share a grilled cheese sandwich with the dog in the park 000
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 11/09/2026so the 4th Great Ninja War is like... an all-stars match with everyone we've ever heard of or thought about for 5 minutes coming out of retirement (death) to fight in Tobi's ultimate cage match.... 000
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I have made so many stupid jokes about Naruto this year that my phone autocorrect knows だってばよ 😔 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026And especially in today's world the "I'm super smart and I know better than everyone and so I will make the hard decisions all of you illiterate masses are too dumb to make" look is REAL bad. We're unintentionally heading into gross techbro territory. 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026He's not a fun dorky shy nerd.... Everything that I could look for to be endearing kind of glances off the "oh but he's cool though" shield. 110
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I just really struggle to find an appeal in his character. He's mostly just condescending and holier-than-thou, while mostly being stone serious about it, so he's just not any fun. There's nothing for me to latch onto. He's not a fun campy villain, he's not a lovable hero with a heart of gold... 110
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I feel like I'm trying to appreciate a fun interesting ensemble cast and the story won't stop trying to convince me to love their personal blorbo 120
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Listening to the current MTG story as a certified Jace hater, and I understand what they're trying to do with him, but the more that's written about how he's sooo tortured and sooo flawed and I should think he's so cool and feel so bad for him, the more he somehow feels like a Mary Sue. 111

Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I feel like this is an average day in Hisui 020
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 28/08/2026At the point in watching Naruto Shippuden where it just feels like the heartbreaking story of watching a kind-hearted friend never ever ever get over their horrible toxic crush from middle school. People who liked Sasuke back in the day.... Why? Like genuinely why? 020
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Small test print in action. Printing a big boy now 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I've finally finished up the sculpt for my little planter dragon and am starting the first test print tonight 💚🐲🍃 #3dart #3dPrinting #dragon #planter #creaturedesign 150
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I was just in the mood to make something nice... just a cute little pokemon illustration... since things in the world have just been wearing on me mentally. So here's some cute zorua 🖤🤍 #zorua #pokemon #fanart 02510
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 21/08/2026continuing the journey of watching Naruto for the first time in 2026... I keep forgetting the Cloud Village is called the Cloud Village and because their president guy is the Raikage I started calling them Thunderclan and just never stopped. 000
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Fuck I was about to be excited because it WOULD have been Pokopia but because I logged into FFXIV last night to raid with a friend I’m now stuck somewhere on Aetherys. Depending on where I land I could be having a great time or instantly dead. If it’s my “home” aether it’s then it’s the Crystarium 030
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I was talking to someone at a Pride party about Gundam (as one does) and they were like "Everyone in Gundam Wing is in drag for those with eyes to see." and I can't stop thinking about it. 000
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 07/08/2026My Brushbuddy Cintiq pen holder has been test printed and is working great! I'll be printing a few of these to sell at Summerfest, and potentially also at Howloween in the fall :) 030
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 06/08/2026WIP of a little personal piece - Once she's done I'll have prints of her at SFU Summerfest, Art Huddles, and potentially Howloween 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 06/08/2026chatting with friends I realized there's no good werewolf shows. I would like to now elevator pitch my theoretical animated show that's slice of life about werewolves working day jobs. It's Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid meets What We Do in the Shadows and a lot of werewolf yuri. Hit me up, studios 140

Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of changing who I am. I like that I'm dorky and playful and don't feel pressure to chase trends. And I'm happy for folks who like the mainstream stuff too. Go off and like what you like man. Just wish my own brain didn't make life harder for me in that way 030
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Trying to get out more to meetups and things because most of my queer femme friends have moved away, and it's nice to meet folks but man, life would be so much easier if my interests were conventional sports and celebrities. Instead I have the interests of a 13-year-old boy + horse girl nonsense. 150
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 23/07/2026When do I get to the part in Pokopia where we find out the humans all died in space and Ditto forms an organization dedicated to keeping alive the hope that all the long-extinct humans will still come home someday so that all the pokemon still feel motivated to work together and build a society? 120
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 20/07/2026buddy just won't get over that middle school crush on a guy who kinda sucks 010
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 20/07/2026My friends and I during our lunchtime Naruto viewing watched an episode where Naruto gazed into the night sky, saw a shooting star, clutched his hand to his heart and whispered Sasuke's name into the sky. We have not seen Sasuke on screen for literally 30 episodes. 121

If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA. 180103334087
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 20/07/2026No one asked for it but here are my lifelong horse girl takes on the best horse media: - the best horse movie is How to Train Your Dragon - the best horse game is The Last Guardian Neither of these have any actual horses in them and somehow get the vibe better than all the media that does. 020
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Another little doodle/sticker design inspired by fond memories of volunteering at the Vancouver Aquarium <3 Bella the Steller's sea lion just yelling her truth into the sky all day every day 081
Vam (Laura Ambrosiano) @vamtaro.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Finished up a little doodle I started last year while I was volunteering at the aquarium. I'm happy to be employed but I miss working there sometimes. Hope you're doing well and still being chaotic, Nigel the Giant Pacific Octopus <3 040
