Hi, I'm PJ. I mostly shitpost but I also talk about art, writing, video games, and statistics. I love shonen anime, psychological horror, and collecting artwork.

Art by SaltyDracon. The style is a digital color under a paper sketch. In the foreground, a young-looking man with slightly tanned skin wearing a simple white robe with long orange hair talks on a cell phone and smiling, with a comic-style cutout revealing he's talking to a fat Mexican woman wearing a blue and white dress. She has brown hair in a braid, a pink bow in her hair, and an angry expression. In the background of the scene with the man. there is a brown boy wearing a blue tank top and khaki shorts. He is making the Family Guy Death Pose, lying on his side with both of his arms behind his back and one of his legs bent.

A mixed media piece by SaltyDracon. It depicts a boy with tan skin, long dark brown hair, an orange tank top that is loose enough to reveal top surgery scars, and Indian style earrings falling headfirst through the blue sky towards a sandy earth below him. He is smiling.

An experimental mixed-media piece. The background is entirely black, with a sketch in front colored in pink and orange. The sketch seemingly depicts a girl wearing robes, with a ponytail and messed up hair. She is wearing Indian style Jhumka earrings and has a despondent look on her face.

A mixed media piece by SaltyDracon. In the foreground, a boy wearing a white kimono with long golden hair sits at the top of a bell tower, with the bell hanging above him and a clock below him, looking over the city below. Behind him are many buildings. The sky is dark, indicating it is night.

Literally who the fuck authorized this. Literally not moving from my fucking apartment for the next month. I liked the hotel here but I didn't have any fun at all otherwise. Mandatory dinners my ass. Fuck everything. Literally going to waste $400 on Grubhub the moment I get back. Fucking hell

Dude. I've been on drugs (and the drug is too much caffeine) for like 5 days trying to put up with this entire week. I haven't slept well in a month. My body is holding itself together with craft glue and my mind is jelly. If my parents ask me to visit for Thanksgiving I might shoot my tongue out.

Oh Yeah And What If You Fell Sick From LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU ATE. But Socializing Is Important So You'll Have To Do It Anyway

I've been having an honest to god godawful time for this entire month and I don't know how much more I can take. Oh my god I'm about to hit everyone with a shovel, I'm so done with everyone and everything.

Me: This is my toxic yaoi fic.
Toxic yaoi fic: Every toxic moment is wrapped in ungodly amounts of slapstick and there's at least two toxic yuri couples

Shuten Order is incredible. Rei Shimobe is such a fun protagonist (God's favorite little stress ball) and I'm blown away by the character writing in the Science and Health routes. Fun character designs as well, amazing music and backgrounds- it was an absolute treat to play!

Image of the Library banner for Shuten Order in Steam. The Last Played date is the date of posting, the play time reads 75.2 Hours, and all achievements have been completed.

the rei shimobe shuten order vs takumi sumino hundred line venn diagram is going to be funny as fuck. almost a circle except for "toxic yuri" on one side and "toxic yaoi" on the other

Wrote four different drafts of a single fight scene in a fanfic and then just decided to go with the first 😭

Because we had this talk in discord and it's the funniest thing ever, if your character were large in a fandom, what kind of discourse would they create or be apart of?

Just added a new character to my list of trans and nonbinary characters that are beautifully written, lots of fun, and wonderful companions to the protagonist (other two are from Caligula 2 and Gnosia respectively)

I'm telling y'all, you've got to hop on Shuten Order. It's so good.

It's written by a Hundred Line writer too (and the writer of one of the first routes I did) and based on that route's writing, DR2x2 is either going to be, like, a really fun (and possibly yurilicious) experience or absolute crap. I'm not sure which it will be.

Hoping for a Hundred Line DLC announcement and I get hit with an unexpected Danganronpa 2... 2!

Saw this guy in a caffeine-induced nightmare and he gaslit me over his ceiling collapsing on top of me. Also the art direction in the nightmare was awesome (lots of beautiful, colorful cubes), so I had to draw it.

The cube in the background was done using CSS.

A mixed digital-traditional piece by SaltyDracon. It depictes a boy with curly blonde hair and green eyes wearing round golden glasses, a light green vest and tie, and a white collared shirt. In the background there is a cube with green, white, and black gradient sides- that cube was made using CSS.

On one hand, I hate being overworked! On the other hand, I'm getting my desire to draw back!

Oh okay so this is just Overtime Week then. maybe even Overtime Fortnight

actually, maybe not, the point of them both being into danganronpa was that it was a MURDER MYSTERY au, so danganronpa would be the most appropriate here for thematic. still, i think they'd both find whatever's going on between takumi yugamu eito and gaku to be very entertaining

val would project way too hard onto takumi and bridget would project way too hard onto nozomi (which is actually a really good explainer of their dynamic in this story) and both of them would think the 5d chess toxic yaoi is the greatest thing ever of all time
