No ironing or anything! I'm blessed with good hair genetics, just that it took years to figure out how to style it and I was just letting it poof out for years. 😭 If it means anything this is genuinely crazy amounts of layering to make the waves do anything nice.

Dude. I know. And I just have to fucking live with this.

Coming back for a redemption arc because 2 years ago a barber butchered my hair and gave me a Republican-ass curtain-undercut right before I had to renew my driver's license so it's gonna be Chairman Mao on there for another like, 8 years.

Totally understand, this is from a grown-out mullet too and it was just getting too exhausting and expensive to maintain the shave. Cheers to you if you're managing to do the shave on your own!

And then hours after this bald uncle comes in and asks if I like 80's metal (cause of the hair) and I said yeah I was going for Motley Crue and then he fucking. Pulled his shirt up to show me some band tattoos on his back. I had a good day y'all it's good to be alive.

Genuinely crazy how I decided at 30 that I'd cut my own hair and I've never gotten this many compliments on my hair in living memory man like I got a gaggle of 40-something aunties in here looking at the menu and got distracted because they noticed my hair and wanted to know how to get it done. 😭

THANK YOU! I'll probably have to sub out with yogurt which should probably work similarly. I'm VERY intrigued by the cumin in this recipe as I don't think I've had mashed potatoes with that flavor profile in mind, thank you so much I'll give your recipe a whirl. 👀

Oh yes absolutely, I just remembered I've got a pack of those shitty frozen mixed veggies that's like 60% carrots, those would probably taste a lot better with this. Thank you for the idea!!!

Hello everyone I recently received a large amount of garlic and onion powder and we're not a garlic and onion powder people and I don't know what to do with this other than fried chicken and marinade for gymbro chicken breasts. Suggestions welcome.

And it's an on-going bit because every time we meet up he'll tell his sister "I'm meeting that myster guy you follow" and she'll try to bargain if he'll finally give up my identity.

Now, my friend is an extremely cishet man (he's chill) and his hobbies are primarily Warhammer and like, Bolt Action. So it's been driving her crazy thinking who the hell her brother is hanging out with.

Long game I've been playing: I have a friend who was telling me about his fujoshi sister and on a whim I asked, can you ask what her twitter handle is. I look it up and see "follows you" next to the name. I said show her a photo of this but don't tell her who I am and don't tell her my account.

Btw I realize I've been real quiet on my drawins and I'm not saying I'm quitting because at the end of the day I'm a big stupid faggot and love drawing men but I'm a little sick of online persecution and the algorithm hill-boulder-push gig so I'm going on a little detour.

Beginning your transition to formal sfw illustrations by piggy-backing on your viewership from your nsfw account makes me feel like the dick-in-ass pony from that fucking happyroadkill comic

Social media is weird because if you give people a good feeling they will be overfamiliar with you, and if you do not do that they treat you like a human yelp page

I love kids so much man, kid's probably no more than 10 and asks his mom for a matcha latte and a few minutes later he comes up to me at the bar saying "THIS MATCHA IS SO GOOD! MY TASTEBUDS ARE BLESSED!" and I'm just like. That's right little man. And he gave me a sticker lol.

Yes, of course. Thank you and you're very kind to think of my work in this way, and I wish you all the best in your own journey of drawing hot fictional men. 🥰🥰🥰

I think that is corn potage, which actually is soup in a bottle or can but they sell it where the drinks are too lmao. It's better when it's in a can in a vendo machine in winter and you can drink it hot.

YEAH this is extremely oldhead shit if I'm not mistaken it was from before Riot owned League. 😭

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
I don't know what the specifics of this are but he's been playing forever and from what I hear from is DOTA players here view League as DOTA for babies for whatever reason and they used to beef with them back when shit was still on Garena. 😭

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
My cousin's like super traditional and his hobbies are DOTA and cars and One Piece powerscaling and it's been really funny and endearing seeing his personality shift the more he hangs out with the alphabet crew.

So anyway we were out drinking and the started talking about anime ships and without missing a beat he just blurts out "Bleach. Ichigo and Aizen." and we were all like. WHAT.

I've kind of adopted my cousin into my friend group (gay people and women) as he's a single, cishet man in his 30s and most of his friends are married with kids and can't hang out as much.

I respect that. I love all of this for you. On the other hand corpse Nathan Explosion do be calling to me and so I will wait and see how this all unfolds.

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
I love this for you dude, genuinely. I can only hope to eventually stumble into something that fucks me up in the head the same way (game that must not be mentiomed) did, in the interrim I'll be actively trying as always.

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Yeah, I agree. And also like. Just throwing a question to randos on the internet, ANY goddamn place, is loads better than the computer. 😞

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Yes. I'm always on my phone socials to talk about my day and I do the "specifically look at art/read fic" session on the computer to help tab out and stay on a post/profile as a commitment to commenting or sending OP a message. It may be odd to treat like a "task" but it's that important to me!

It's so cool how I used to think it was dumb to listen to recordings of live songs when you could just listen to the studio version and then I happened to listen to the Alice in Chains Unplugged version of Sludge Factory and it was so much better than the Tripod recording that I started crying.

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
YEP! I've definitely had my share of being in a particularly bad mood of blocking random people for only commenting things like "MORE!!!!!!" or "WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG" like can you at least say something nice to me first man. Goddamn.
030
IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I see what you mean. Like I'm not really that online anymore but it really seems like "oh now you guys have a LOT to say after sniffing out when a guy draws some lowkey weird shit" and there's virtually never that much energy for the opposite when it's time to celebrate someone/thing they like.

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
This is so depressing to hear in a modern age where communication avenues are at their easiest to access. My conspiracy theory is it's partially that damn "you don't owe anyone anything" mentality now we've got people talking to the fucking computer whose feelings they never have to mind. MAN.

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Not necessarily but it was definitely chatgpt brainrot speak lmao so it felt like they were trying to box in the "aesthetic" into a cateogry to know how to look for and curate it and it's like. It's crazy you people want pre-fabricated and ready-made personalities now you should try having a passion
010
IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
LMAO yeah, I understand, and the whole fellow creatives thing too which I feel stronger on bluesky where I get less numbers but more comments because it's more populated with people who care enough about the work to put in the effort to migrate to some shitass app where you can't brainrot for hours.

IVES @ventiskull.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Yes, I'm sure creators were always the minority but what I meant to say was it feels like there's even less of us now.

Bro fr. Like at the shop I get what feels like bizarre Qs like "what's your store inspired by what's the theme the prompt" I??? The store is inspired by my lived human experiences and things I love and am interested in??? 😭 DOES THAT MAKE SENSE LIKE WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE INSPIRED BY /SOMETHING/
