Welcome to my microblog of obscurity! Still figuring out exactly how I want to use this account so bear with me!
Ugh, I'm jealous you get to read it for the first time!

There's a bunch more on the dorleycord that I haven't posted here! (This app gives me panic attacks so I try not to get on it much 🥲)

Also, turns out I went off-model from my own WIP portrait of this character, I guess I'll figure that out later 😅
November 7, 2025 at 2:52 PM
And some process and reference shots

...aaand there's a really questionable transgender stripper punchline in the middle of the very last story in the collection. Lord 🙄

...and, rough as some of this stuff feels, it's still electrifying to see like, proto-Capsule Corp tech, or an alien who looks like Cell, or a girl who looks like Bulma pop up in these, or realize he took a whole separate first run at a Sun Wukong story a year before Dragon Ball. Really neat

Thanks! As soon as he told us it was just him I knew that we weren't making it to dinner lol... What a mess

I'm a lil sad about dinner (we got pizza it was fine) and I'm deliriously tired now but we have our bed and our couch and I have my house slippers back and it actually is starting to feel like home

(Apologies to the original model, my jpg just says latex_snow_01 but I can't seem to find an @)

Thank you!! ❤️

Oh yeahhh

Edy ended up kind of a normie but I think Adam's gonna go like the queer millennials I know with similar histories irl... when she finally comes into herself she's gonna be fuuun. Awful tattoos, though

And I just realized this after the fact, but shout-out to @cmctits.bsky.social who I believe originated the "symbolically crossing out the washouts' names" idea. Just immediately sublimated that into my unconscious lol

Also drew these two besties! (Spoilers for chapter 33 onward)

Yup! If you're on the Dorleycord there's a bunch there in the fan art and patreon channels.

I'll look at reposting them here soon -- I was taking a social media break when I drew most of them so they never made it here, and then I moved across the country and I'm still picking up the pieces 😮‍💨
