I'm Shan/Coop and I draw soft, round, furry garbage!

My commissions are almost always open, mostly for sketches but will take anything if you're patient :)

All my commission info is over here: shanrattie.carrd.co

And I have adopts and bases for sale over here: ko-fi.com/rattie/shop

I need to do myself a new ref sometime, not only to get the damn HP reference off there (because just adding that jkkkr sucks alongside the thing isn't enough)

But bc i wanna update the design too, simplify it a bit!

constant struggle to keep afloat leaves little time and motivation for stuff 😪

I'll give it a go but I think it's just that the pins inside are bent/worn too much ; ; gonna give it a wipe down with isopropyl alcohol as well at some point just in case they're grimey

God I need a new phone so badly..

This one is getting old and has stopped not only holding charge but also it's super finicky about charging >:/

My sister has said she'll give me a bit of money towards a new phone, but I gotta make another £300 or so on my own for the mid range model I wanted bleh

It extra sucks because the shirt I picked up at the show I went to years back in Leeds got ruined and is covered in patches of superglue so I can't wear it anymore :(

The shipping has always been bad, but never THIS bad ; ;

Fuck all my fav bands (ToP excluded) for being small little indie bands from the US with no big label ties to get their merch distributed outside their home country ;(

Another one is that honey butter toast thing that's been popping off - brown sugar, honey and salt creamed into butter, spread on all sides japanese milk bread cut super thick and then baked in the oven (and flipped before baking some more) and then when it cools it goes cronchy

ShanRattie @shanrattie.bsky.social · 1d

Aussie style fairy bread is amazing - cream sugar with butter like you would for cake frosting, then spread it on some toast and cover it in those super crunchy little spherical sprinkles

It's so bad for you but damn if it doesn't make you feel nostalgic lmao

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

I can only speak for people in my own lane but for me and a lot of other artists/ small business owners it's the fact we had to leave our entire audience on twitter, start from scratch and now are having our livelihoods threatened again by stupid ass ToS changes and overzealous opinionated mods

Very possible that I might get the room I just viewed but if I'm going to get any room I need to be able to pay the deposit so if I could reach my goal ASAP that would be incredible

So my mom is going through some major medical things at the moment and expenses are adding up (thanks American healthcare)
If you have a spare dollar would be amazing if you could help my mom! If you don't, a repost or share would be amazing help!
