I have to get a new phone for my Dexcom because Apple wants to push the minimum requirements to iOS 18 😞 my phone is a 10 with iOS 16.
Guess I gotta get a new one. Thinking about the 17 with sage color, it's pretty.

Alright, first AWS this year and now #Cloudflare. Either it's a stupid coincidence or something's up. Is someone targeting large web hosters??? 🤔
For legal reasons I am only theorizing lmao please don't sue me

A digital drawing of a couple dancing in a dip pose. The man holding his girlfriend has brown hair with red eyes, while she has white hair. Her eyes are closed as he looks at her lovingly. They are both wearing red and black outfits in a gold and crimson ballroom.

Sometimes I end up thinking about the old friendships I used to have, and I constantly have to remind myself that there's a reason why I'm not friends with those people anymore.
If they blow up at you because you're trying to tell them you're hurt by their words or actions, they're not your friends.

I think I need to properly vent. A lotta personal shit's been happening as of late and it's really taking a toll on my mental health. I don't feel anything anymore when this stuff happens.
I try my best to be positive online so others don't have to hear me whining, but it's just gotten worse.

Not me tearing up at Scar's latest vlog. God him and Grian have a golden friendship. Everyone looked so kind to each other and you get that wholesome vibe.
Congrats to Pink Parrots and HC for winning the crown and award!!!

If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be able to draw this... I wouldn't have believed you.

It's honestly amazing. I haven't really realized how far I've gotten in my art journey. Yep, that's still Canista XD
She's changed a lot.

Old (left) VS New (right)

#Art #ArtProgress #ArtJourney #WIP

Old art, depicting Canista touching a red glowing crystal. The shading is only an airbrush (ew).

New art, depicting Canista and Fredrick doing a dip pose. It is a sketch.

I just remembered when I was like 7 I got attached to a blue bag clip clipped to some rolled up pink tasseled fabric and named it Squiddy...
and then I had a small drawstring bag and named it Happy Bag and they were friends 😭

So I'd like to update this real quick:
Refern has shut down. The guy sent out an email explaining why, -and it's not coming back anytime soon. 😞 I guess Cosmos is our only alternative option now...

CoggsOfMerryweather @coggsmw.bsky.social · Mar 7

Just did some research! Let me go ahead and share them in the replies!

CoggsOfMerryweather @coggsmw.bsky.social · Mar 7

As an artist, I am disappointed. We used to use Pinterest for references. Unfortunately, now with the AI generated images, finding actual ACCURATE references is damn near impossible.
If anyone has any alternatives to Pinterest, PLEASE share them!!

My mom is *patiently* waiting for the Palia servers to finish maintenance AND SHE'S SENDING ME THIS WHILE SHE'S AT WORK
Yes I included alt text this is glorious. They all look so bad oh my god I love making fun of these
#FuckGenAI #FuckAI

My Mom sends me a picture of an Amazon listing for an AI-generated coloring book. Conversation is as follows:
Mom: "Awww....do you want one?"
Me: "WHAT THE HELL, THAT'S AN AI COLORING BOOK"
Mom: "Lol. Palia better hurry up with that update! There's no telling what trouble I may get into!"
Me: "Lol"
Mom: "Just look at the stupid stuff I'm looking at..."
Me: "'For Adults and Teens To Have Fun' HMMMMMMM I WONDER WHAT HAVING FUN EXACTLY MEANS"
Mom: "Well, I'm not going there!....."
Me: "Hehehe"

Continued conversation:
[Another picture of an AI coloring book listing]
Mom: "But just look!....."
Me: "THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?!?"
[Another screenshot of a listing]
Mom: "And look at this!......."
Me: "AND IT'S BY A DIFFERENT PUBLISHER TOO. OH MY GOD"

Continued Conversation:
[ANOTHER screenshot of a different listing]
Mom: "And wait! There's more!....."
Me: "AND THEY'RE *ALL* AI GENERATED. I'M LOSING IT OH MY GOD"
[ANOTHER screenshot]
Mom: "Even more!"
Me: "HSHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

Continued conversation:
Mom: "Oh course it's AI...there isn't really fairy men...sorry to disappoint"
Me: "THE NUPPLES OH MY GOD WHY ARE THEY LIKE THAT HAHAHAHA I CAN'T BREATHEEEE"
End of conversation.
