I'm apricot! I make the fantasy webcomic Kattabolt, about spunky cat girl Alex ⚡🐱

kattabolt.carrd.co
kattabolt.com
areyoshi.com

I post about Pokemon, my pets, & my OCs. If you like middle-aged men with issues who fall in love: hello, ask me about my #OC ship called Kibble. I have no self control.

Kattabolt comic advertisement featuring original character Alex, a cute cat girl in colorful clothes who is happily riding on a lightning bolt. She has long black hair and big glasses. There are low opacity examples from the comic in the sky behind her. The image has the web address for Kattabolt and also shows that it's available to read on Tapas and Webtoon as well.

Fan art of the Pokemon Pikachu and Charizard in a fierce battle. Pikachu is leaping away with rainbow electricity coming from its cheeks while Charizard flies after it and spews fire.

Original characters Kittens and Bull Dog, two old timey mobsters, running against a spotlight background. Kittens is a small man with brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and a scar above his brow. Bull is a very large bald man wearing a suit. Kittens is full on sprinting, but Bull is jogging.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

In a casual community like mine I want to avoid it ever feeling like too much of a chore to participate, we are all tired lmaooo
I do think active commentary is vital in a more professional or critique-based server, though

Same, I run a community where the bare minimum is that you should at *leeeeaast* add a react to the art above yours. I also ask that people say something with their own art posts, too, so that it's not just a silent drop channel; I want people to communicate

I've really enjoyed having my library card again, particularly because of digital check-outs. It's honestly saved me a lot of money (and shelf space)

I didn't AVOID it, but in my school days I was a longtime member and twice-captain of the scholastic reading team, so I was always pretty busy with other books!
& uni I was more focused on running anime club than reading. And later I was too depressed to read. More recently I'm getting back to it 😌

Finally happened to read Pride and Prejudice. I liked it a lot and I'm happy I waited because a younger me would not have picked up on all the sarcasm and humor. As an adult, the experience was very funny and gossipy.

Also Mr. Darcy is autistic as hell, A+

WE HAVE A CAR!!! However, we are still raising funds to leave and afford an apartment - as well as other necessities needed!!! Please continue sharing, if possible.

#MutualAid Howdy folks. I need help - I live in an abusive household. The amount of money being owed every month doesn't allow myself to save and leave. I feel constantly unsafe.

I'm saving up for a car for transportation/apartment fees to get out. Shares and likes go a long way. Thank you.

Someone asked "why dont artists post tutorials as much anymore? It's always behind a paywall"

I think it is because every single time I have seen a tutorial go viral people end up SCREAMING at the artist "how DARE you tell me how to draw?!"

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Every time I think I'm finished with setting up stuff for subbing at the school, they ask me for yet another obscure application from a website they never told me about lol. I've literally already worked for them but I'm still filling new forms out, howwwww

My best friend and I were talking about an Oracle Deck about different goddesses around the world, and apparently, it has "Dalnim" (the moon) listed as a Korean moon goddess???

No????
Incorrect?????
As someone who wrote a whole comic episode on this, I take offense??????
