This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time

(3/3) and that's pretty much all i got for whimsy week lol i just really liked the idea of them as werewolves frolicking about but i added in some designs for the actual shifting. i like to think shifting from human to wolf is more horrifying than wolf to human.

caitlyn in the process of shifting into her wolf form. she's curled slightly away from the viewer and her arms wrap around herself, a newly clawed hand scratching into her own arm. her ears shift into that of a wolf. fur sprouts from her skin, her jaw grows larger and her teeth more sharp, and her eyes glow menacingly.

vi and caitlyn as their wolf forms fall away, a contrast to the previous drawing. they're curled up together asleep, vi in a ball and caitlyn draping an arm over her body. the fur on their bodies is receding but at this stage, their ears and tails remain. their hands and feet are hybrids between paws and their human counterparts. they're spent but the process is peaceful.

(2/3) and also frolicked in the snow and also were deeply in love because of the transcendent and freeing experience we share

a series of drawings in which vi and cait giddily chase each other around in their werewolf forms in the snow.

an extension of the previous set of drawings; caitlyn, tail wagging wildly, laps at vi's chin with vi giggles happily.

caitvi werewolves for arcane #whimsyweek 🐺what if we were werewolves and also both girls and also ran away to start a pack together (1/3)

vi and caitlyn from arcane as werewolves. vi is a large reddish wolf with long, spiky fur. she still has her piercings as she would as a human. she is growling defensively. caitlyn is a sleek dark grey-blue wolf with her left eye scarred and shut. she poises herself majestically.

the aforementioned wolf designs, but this time recreating the "you're hot, cupcake" scene from the show, with vi advancing into caitlyn's space with a smug expression and caitlyn staring at her, flustered.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Right now those in power are telling you straight to your face that "if a piece of shit racist white man is harmed by gun violence it's a problem and you should feel sympathy. If anyone else is harmed (kids included), that's life". I do hope this radicalizes people. I hope this wakes people up.

a yang for someone on tumblr

yang, a young, tanned asian person with an unruly bleached mullet and several piercings in their face and ears, leans back casually with their legs spread and their hands clasped behind their neck. they're shirtless, showing off both the patchwork tattoos on their arms and their top surgery scars. they're otherwise wearing loose, frayed pants, a carabiner around their beltloop and beat-up red chucks.

scrapped sketches from butchviweek where vi's a rubgy player

sketch of vi from arcane in a rubgy jersey with her hair tied back and sweating as she runs with a rubgy ball in both hands.

ancillary sketch of the same vi, whose jersey says "ZAUN" leaning against the front of some bleachers casually with the ball balanced on her finger and smirking at caitlyn who's sitting in the front row. vi says, "so like...you come here often?" to which caitlyn is flustered, blushing, and saying "ERM."

struggling getting back on my feet after Covid took most of this month from me, and I’m still battling the brain fog that has lingered with it.

this tired wolf could use some help:
