Welcome, everyone! I'm going to be uploading a lot of backlog here, but my memory is terrible so there may be some never-before-seen surprises in the mix. Shout-out to all the people who followed me before I even posted LOL, you're the real ones

Grown-up Pasha flying into a blue sky with puffy clouds and a shining sun; he's looking behind him to make sure you're keeping up!

Likewise! I have a soft spot for NES and found myself very charmed by it.

Centaurs creep me out and I really don’t like looking at that Lyn, but for my part as a Hater this is turning out pretty cool. The speculative designs are fun, I just don’t want all fanart of the characters to be these from now on 🫣

LILS!! MY GIRL!!! LET’S GOOOOOO

I love him??

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 11d

!!! You’re back!! Been meaning to watch this movie anyway but REALLY going to now! 🤩

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 13d

I wouldn’t say it’s an abandonment of the older games themselves— even this new weirdness calls back to Jugdral lore with the Deadlords, and on the fandom side the most-wanted game is still an FE4 remake— it’s just the way social media makes a moment feel like an eternity IMO.

tl;dr: the real Fire Emblem Shadows turning us against each other are the ones of our own making in our own minds. 😶‍🌫️

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 13d

Of course I forget about the fact that the people who are into largely the same aspects of the series I’m into have not gone anywhere, and who (by their own admission) are hungry for the kind of content I’m mourning before I’ve even birthed it.

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 13d

This encapsulates the feeling I get with this series every so often, and to add on I think mine also takes on the flavor of “oh no this is all anyone will be talking about forever so now if I draw an older FE character without cat ears no one will care.”

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 13d

To be clear, I don’t have any problem with furries, it’s just the sort of cheeky, zero-nuance way the label gets applied and talked about that annoys me, if that makes sense? It probably doesn’t. I’d love for folks to chime in and help me articulate (or understand lol) what I’m trying to get at. 😓

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 13d

This is a Whole Topic but I’ve never been clear as to whether furries are supposed to be a specific subculture or if everything that’s a variation on this literally ancient trope is furries.

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 13d

I do think part of it has been a long-latent frustration with how the internet has flattened the humanity-old artistic practice of giving humans animal features and vice-versa?

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 14d

(I hope it’s clear I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade… again, prolly just that feeling of vertigo when I have a busy day living real life and then I come back online and get sucker-punched by Events, plus the cognitive dissonance of not being into the developments. 🫩)

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 14d

I think I would be more on board if I thought there was a chance they would do stupid laguz like a pigeon or capybara. If Byleth isn’t an opossum what is even the point.

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 14d

Maybe I’ve just had a long day but I feel like the 3 hours I have known about this new FE mobile game have aged me 10 years. I’m not mad or anything, I’m just… weary, I think?

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 15d

I just (dig)dug this game out of storage… never played it, not sure where I got it, definitely didn’t realize it was as beloved as it seems to be!

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 22d

HELL yeah, best vendors

Color sketch of Bratty and Catty, side by side, both fangirling profusely. Catty's looking up with her paws raised to her wide-open grinning mouth, while Bratty looks down with her claw on Catty's shoulder, as if shaking her in disbelief. Bratty says, "omg catty!!"; Catty responds, "omg bratty!!!"

I keep forgetting I have this WIP where I started drawing like, every #Undertale character? Here's Sans and Papyrus, Icecap, and Endogeny— I'll take requests for the rest!

Sketch of Sans (holding a deflated whoopee cushion and grinning) and Papyrus (holding a fist to his chest and letting the wind billow his cap gloriously).

Sketch of Icecap, crossing its tiny arms and attempting to smirk, a frozen tear in its eye betraying hurt feelings. It says, "i'm not cold ha ha/ i'm COOL / UR cold"

Sketch of the Endogeny, graphic white on a black background. The negative black space between its misshapen legs forms five grinning dogs of various shapes and sizes. It appears to be bounding towards you, the shape of a lolling tongue seeping sideways from its face-hole.

They’re friends in real life!!

It’s such a cool figure and one of my favorite moments in gaming, but all I see after the dollar sign is a giant middle finger. 😕

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 24d

I'm still rockin' v.1.12, how big a change would this be?

Sunfish @risingsunfish.bsky.social · 25d

Eliwood’s hair clicked for me when I started drawing him circa FE6, since his hairline/part is much simpler there.

Nowadays the Barenaked Ladies would only be able to afford the green dress and maybe the dijon ketchup. 😔
