I'm apricot! I make the fantasy webcomic Kattabolt, about spunky cat girl Alex ⚡🐱

kattabolt.carrd.co
kattabolt.com
areyoshi.com

I post about Pokemon, my pets, & my OCs. If you like middle-aged men with issues who fall in love: hello, ask me about my #OC ship called Kibble. I have no self control.

Kattabolt comic advertisement featuring original character Alex, a cute cat girl in colorful clothes who is happily riding on a lightning bolt. She has long black hair and big glasses. There are low opacity examples from the comic in the sky behind her. The image has the web address for Kattabolt and also shows that it's available to read on Tapas and Webtoon as well.

Fan art of the Pokemon Pikachu and Charizard in a fierce battle. Pikachu is leaping away with rainbow electricity coming from its cheeks while Charizard flies after it and spews fire.

Original characters Kittens and Bull Dog, two old timey mobsters, running against a spotlight background. Kittens is a small man with brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and a scar above his brow. Bull is a very large bald man wearing a suit. Kittens is full on sprinting, but Bull is jogging.

I keep a list on my phone of the episodes that I consider required viewing for a no-filler rewatch.

But for the purposes of the op...

Fry getting to appear in his mom's dream in Game of Tones makes me tear up just thinking about it.

Having healthcare is so cool. You can get a yearly exam any time you need one.

President Trump is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Friday morning for what the White House says is his "routine yearly checkup," just six months after undergoing what the White House at the time described as his "annual physical examination" at the same facility.

President Trump's annual physical examination in April showed his vital statistics were all within normal limits.

#Blacktober 2025 has begun! Some friends once suggested, "Since Aira Shiratori is part-French, maybe he could be part-Haitian too?" I loved that idea!♥️ 🇯🇵+🇭🇹+🇫🇷

#MounaBatArt #EnStars #Blacktober2025 #EnsembleStars

Racebent fanart of Aira Shiratori from Ensemble Stars, where he has brown skin and freckles. He is surrounded by ribbons, Ace of Hearts playing cards, and a sparkly background. He's holding a turquoise lightstick. There is a speech balloon in the top-right corner with text that says "I love!"

Reality sucks, I want video game rules 😤

This comic is public on Patreon with some additional commentary: www.patreon.com/posts/dirt-b...

#comicoop #comics

A two panel comic in which apricot, their dad, and their sister (who has a baby on her back) are all hiking up a hill on a clear day. In panel one, the sister says "The race track is different this year to avoid all the windmill construction (so they gotta go around it.)
In the next panel, apricot looks disappointed and bitter as they look down and note, "...In a video game you'd get to ride THROUGH the construction sites..."

The challenge being...trying to remember all the media I consumed in the past...which really isn't a lot.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

In a casual community like mine I want to avoid it ever feeling like too much of a chore to participate, we are all tired lmaooo
I do think active commentary is vital in a more professional or critique-based server, though

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · 2d

Same, I run a community where the bare minimum is that you should at *leeeeaast* add a react to the art above yours. I also ask that people say something with their own art posts, too, so that it's not just a silent drop channel; I want people to communicate

I've really enjoyed having my library card again, particularly because of digital check-outs. It's honestly saved me a lot of money (and shelf space)
