Hi, I'm a moth that makes fantasy and horror art. Find all my links here: aphoticmoth.carrd.co

You find yourself trapped in a rotting stinking sewer. The air is thick with a putrid stench that just clings to your nostrils. As you wade through the foul green waters you hear a strange chattering. Skittering. Hissing. You turn a corner to see piles of human skulls and massive mutated rats with glowing eyes. They are all focused on you and they look HUNGRY.

A sharp pain in your mouth.. You wish the pain would go away. A tingling feeling travels through your body. There is all of a sudden a buzzing crackling noise coming from somewhere.. A red mist appears and out steps a horrifying creature. Long lanky, 4 wings, spine of spikes. An eyeless round head with massive jutting teeth. It is covered with gold jewelry and.... Teeth? It holds out a sack of something, and asks if you have any teeth for trade. Afraid to upset the creature you accept the trade. Your bad tooth appearing between it's fingers. Your pain is gone, you look down at the sack and as you look back up the creature has disappeared.

A dark cave. In the center is a beam of light that a gnarly horned toothy dragon head is taking a nap in with his hoard of kitties. They are all soaking up the sun. The cats lay all over his head, what a comfy dragon friend.

A hairy dwelf man looks unimpressed as he holds up a ferocious yet tiny cat folk. Dangling between two fingers by the hood of it's shirt the cat screams and hisses baring his claws. "Put me down or I'll claw yer eyes out!" It screams. The Dwelf just stares wondering if he should punt the little fella out the door.

The point of this isn't the actual question people. I know that immigrants don't steal American jobs I'm not a fucking idiot. The question points out that we are tricked into accepting something that actually hurts us while worrying about something that doesn't because of rich people propaganda.

Two trans lesbians hugging. Word bubbles read "at least we have each other" "yeah".

A minimum wage worker giving a sandwich to a friend struggle-busing. Otter says "this is all I have" to which the shark says "I owe you one" while the otter replies "you can NEVER owe me anything".

A minimum wage worker taking out the trash and giving a pep talk to the manager's son.

Whale shark friend says "they're all put of popcorn shrimp". Lemon shark crushes a drink and says "what?"

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

You have value no matter what.
That's good you are able to wash and eat still. I hope you will reach out to your parents and talk. Temp agencies are another place to look for employment. WorkSource as well.

You didn't even tell your parent's?? Did you just choose to leave rather than them kicking you out? Don't have to talk about it and can message me in private if you do want to chat. Hang in there.

Character design for Furcentia on FA.

Willow the punk skater dobie. Tan dobie lady with purple hair, wearing a cut off tank, rolled up pants, and a flannel tied around her waist. She has red chucks on and is holding a vibrant multicolored skateboard that looks well loved.

Did a live-stream for the first time in a year about a month ago. Rapidpunches requested a unicorn.

Ah the suffering of the innocent over another's greed.

A heraldic like unicorn with 2 tails rears up in agony as a sword is driven through it's chest and out it's back. A tear rolls down it's cheek as it bellows out.

Mother Miranda: What a strange little creature.

Mother Miranda holding a fluffy little bat in her jewelry adorned hands, she is looking at the bat with a sickly curiosity, the bat is swooning over her.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

people can issue consent. things cannot.
drawings & sculptures & fictional characters are things.
they are property. they are NOT real people.

requiring fictional characters to issue consent is an insult to real people w/real problems

how does bsky expect to get consent from something like marble?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Those around Riverside county, CA, I am selling my PC and monitor for 300usd. Thought this could help with rent by Oct. 6th, so it'd be appreciated to spread the word around to those looking for a PC of light, everyday use mainly
