BLUESKY WORK WITH ME HERE I've had to reupload these 2x because of issues w/ marking it as sensitive. Partly my fault but yeah. This one's tagged for having a somewhat detailed, anatomically correct heart on the character. It's a small part of the piece as a whole!

An object character, that of a computer monitor with robotic limbs and sharp claws, is peering around a doorway at the viewer. One of its hands is wrapped around the door frame, highlighting the claws. His left eye is covered by an anatomically correct heart and veins that wrap around the monitor. The building it's in seems to be abandoned, or at least a scientific facility of some sort. character belongs to Red-Jackal on Art Fight.

I'VE FORGOTTEN TO BE ACTIVE HERE UHHH
have some of my favorite #artfight attacks from this year! The owner of the characters will be in the alt text after the description. #digitalart #art #rainworld #furry #osc

A strange, humanoid creature that looks similar to a deer and a unicorn cross is crouched atop a street lamp, looking down at the viewer. It is dark outside, with the main light source coming from the lamp. The background shows tall trees in the distance, and the night sky. The creature has an ominous grin. This character belongs to holycolin2015 on Art Fight.

A character based on the game Rain World, a slug cat. They are a somewhat desaturated, red-violet in color, with a blue, x-shaped lesion around the tip of their tail that looks like the Rot from the game. From the lesion wraps discoloration in a vein-like pattern up the side of the body, to the slug cat's right eye. This eye has a gash over it, in the same color as the rot lesion. The creature's eyes are closed. This character belongs to BlueBearrie on Art Fight.

An object character that is a purple milkshake, with a lid that has catlike ears. They have whipped cream on top, with a straw sticking out. Their tail is made of whipped cream as well, and all the whipped cream parts have sprinkles in them. Character belongs to frillyseals on Art Fight.

Behold, the ruler of Arcadia. The biggest bastard of them all. Perhaps literally as well. Seraphs are big. Just the daily reminder.

Contact your representative now and tell them: NO cuts to Medicaid.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

I definitely wouldn't be opposed to getting tests done for the other types! But yeah I have a feeling that so much of what I have going on is all connected

Wait only if you're comfortable with it, can you share what all you're looking into??? I've got a collection of chronic illnesses including POTS, hEDS and really bad IBS but it's only ever been symptom management. So if there's something else 👀

I didn’t post this vent art before for fear of being perceived as too “edgy”, but honestly I still like it a lot, so here.

A tiny comic about depression and healing.

A long strip comic spanning 6 panels. Detailing a dragon sona talking to their depression, which manifests as a black scribble cloud that slowly overtakes the entire page. The text describes the characters acknowledgment of the emotion, explaining that it will not win the war but will have the battle today. The Depression agrees.
Done in monochrome, simple sketch style.

My head. It’s a scary and confusing place.

One that is hard for even me to understand.

So how to describe it to someone who asks about it?

What is your mind like?

Me on an hourly basis

A three-panel comic. In the first panel, a simple humanoid figure is shown, seated and writing on a piece of paper. They are smiling, and the words above their head say, "Enjoying hyperfixation".

In the second panel, they have dropped their pencil in shock. They look rather distressed and seem to be dissociating. Large red letters read: "I AM SO CRINGE"

In the final panel, the humanoid figure has gotten over their existential crisis and is back to happily writing on the piece of paper.
