New month, new pinned~

So, I'm Lex: a writer, artist, and lowkey crazy cat lady with a terrible case of brainrot centered around King and Blue Mary from KOF being besties. I'm also the captain of the KingxVanessa ship.

I'm happily married, into nerd shit, and swear a lot.

Please enjoy your stay!

A collage of art by thelexhex/illyrilex featuring Blue Mary hugging King from behind while wearing a cheeky grin, a silly version of King and Vanessa sloppily making out in a car while Mary drives from the backseat, Mai Shiranui wearing the casual mod outfit that I designed, Mary taking a mirror selfie, King holding a disaster bisexual flag, a sketch of Vanessa, and King yelling at Ángel ("Whatever with your 'nyaaan I will fucking lay you out!!!!") while Mary facepalms.

A collage of images drawn by thelexhex/illyrilex featuring King in her KOF XV select screen pose in an original outfit designed by me (LexHex mod), Team Women Fighters 03 beat up and holding up their middle fingers, Kind and Mary mugshots from the Barbie meme, Mai setting a spider on fire while a horrified Andy watches, King and Mary sitting on a bar stool together, with King grimacing because she has a dead leg since Mary is sitting on her thigh, and Vanessa sitting on a chair like in Basic Instinct (you know the scene).

Time for #KOFtober prompt number eight: Your First KOF Team

I got started in the Dark Ages, before team edit was a thing. Anyway, yeah, I scribbled some stuff that I forgot to erase but I think it's funnier this way.

#KOF #KingofFighters #King #YuriSakazaki #MaiShiranui #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

The original Team Women Fighters team from King of Fighters 94 and 95. King is standing in a burgundy tuxedo, holding a rose and trying to look casual/cool; Mai is bending over, looking toward a camera, or the viewer or whatever, and Yuri is sitting criss-cross on the floor, nervously looking at Mai's breasts, where writing that says "It's boobies :| " can be seen next to her.

Special props to @gonzais.bsky.social for the pose reference

I understand and agree with the movement to get people off substack and Twitter. But also - it’s HARD to be responsible for the sins of everyone who owns stuff. It’s genuinely difficult to build a following, an income source, and then have to keep migrating because of things out of your control.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Some of the KOF-centric work that @martinag.bsky.social has done for me 💕💕💕

It would be a losing fight. Sansa is 100lbs of pure energy 😬

It IS a menace! It keeps on crawling up like that and then scratching the glass!!

My dog is legitimately being harassed by a squirrel that has been dubbed "Bamboo" by Thing 2. What even is real life.

Forgot to say this also is extended to artists who fancy creating retro inspired art for a good cause 💚

Please signal boost, it's for a good cause! 🙏

Hey folks - I'm working with an MS (multiple sclerosis) charity to find streamers to support fundraising in November. It's retro gaming themed, so if you're interested in more info - or you know someone who would be amazing - please chuck me a reply 💚
