Should probably use the hype from all the new users to plug my crossover comic I have on Webtoons!

Welp, Cubs season comes to a close.

They endured and fought hard. Wish there was a little more fire in them near the end, but with how badly they were beat up and down a decent chunk of their pitching and hitting, I can't argue that they put on an impressive show.

Here's to 2026!

"It stings extra, because the belief of the group was legit. It was high. Winning a World Series. Playing the biggest games in baseball. Yeah, those games at Wrigley were incredibly uplifting. Obviously we had a lot more ahead of us in our mind." -- Nico Hoerner

This one straight-up gave me a nightmare after I first saw it.

Totally worth it.

I'm honestly glad I had to work through today's Cubs game.

With what I was seeing, there's no way I would have been coherent for so long, haha

GO #CUBS!

All of my prompts for ⚔️ #Swordtember2025!

4th year in a row doing these all! They're always a fun challenge, and even though I go the extra mile for designing characters, still can't wait for next year's #Swordtember!

Shoutout to @faithschaffer.bsky.social for making such a great art challenge!

Why do people always gotta be so goddamn disappointing??

Also the amount of people who genuinely believe in what RFK says is both staggering AND asinine.

Woe upon any who dare even consider engaging this unmatched and ruthless warrior in combat. For his name strikes fear and terror in the hearts of any seasoned fighter. None survive his fearsome onslaught of absolute power.

A vile mixture of snake and bug, this warrior creature's blade houses its own venom and not only leaves a clean cut, but one that poisons and destroys from within.

⚔️ #Swordtember Day 22: Swan

Despite being used for performances or ceremonial dances, this large blade is still very much as sharp and dangerous as any sword...Making it even more impressive for the ballet dancers who wield it, able to effortlessly swing, or avoid it.

⚔️ #Swordtember Day 21: Ring

Divine Seraphim. Faceless, emotionless, it delivers swift and holy justice to any to who dare seek harm upon it.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it
