Artwork I made from 2015! The first one was something I printed as a mini poster that I taped to my housekeeping cart. The third image is the experience with a resident who on my first day, I found with a roach infestation in her room with my OC Alexander in my place. #art #2015

One of the times that the other housekeepers had vandalized my housekeeping cart in the staff room. Vacuum shoved into the trash can part of it. May 2015.

I hate Twitter/Bluesky's text limit for posts, so instead of making 17-post threads, I've taken a screenshot of this text rant in a notepad.
I mourn how many people get crushed under the weight of someone else’s ego. But we’re here. We’re breathing. We can still push back.

If you ever wonder if most things will get by me while using ChatGPT to edit my writing, just know that I adhere to the same rules that I've given it, stored in it's memory. At least between it and me, I follow this rule strictly because writing "Ekho echoed" kills me on impact.

I've been using ChatGPT to run through what I write in case I like the pacing/wording better. I'm getting to know how it writes pretty well to strictly avoid those sentence structures, words, phrases, etc.
Every few reddit stories on YT sound like ChatGPT wrote/edited it lately.

Introducing a character just to kill her off temporarily, we're on Chapter 106! Johnathan helps Ekho stand up to Orrin a bit. The audacity of bad guests, smh.

I did this much on the livestream I set back up today. Took 4 hours, plus the 1 hours of rendering the snout/horn yesterday. I'm trying not to spend TOO long on parts of this but I'm particular about small details I guess. #art #livestream #twitch #stream #furry #furryart

Unless I suddenly get a hair up my ass & finish this in one day, I'm gonna give daily updates about progress. I have until the 10th to submit it.
Can't make it super gruesome or anything bc it's a sfw server, so I'm going with just a basket of eyeballs and she's a witch. #art

A WIP for a discord server Halloween art contest. I've decided to draw this furry character I've recently attained if not just to have art of her, but to practice less human features like snouts and stuff. I love her a normal amount 🥹 #art

Orrin is back. Another chapter where I'm just going to refer to him as that and not the Valentino knock-off lol.

I had to stop drawing this today bc I was getting super lazy with the bun braid lineart to the point it was looking messy.
I do need to figure out how to draw his braids quicker, so that I may draw my boi more often. But this is gonna be his debut part of the comic I'm making.

I haven't not written in the last week but I haven't been focused on it or posting a new chapter. Have a WIP of Ekho!! I find drawing millions of hearts to get the braids drawn quickly, and on a smaller scale, is somehow the method to this madness. #art #wip #hellaverse

Losing my blender file of Ekho's horns wrecked my world for a full week. I spent 8+ hours making it again. Back-ups to my email, husband's & mom's email. GDrive, discord to my husband and 2 friends. Might even burn it to fuckin' disc. I am not losing this shit again lol

I KNOW how to make bread. I don't WANT to. I don't get PAID for making my own bread. I don't feel BETTER making my own bread. It's another CHORE.
I know I'm paying for convenience but I literally cannot have gluten. It is not a trend. Still costs twice as much for half the buns.

Chapter 104—I've got a good outline for the next 8-ish chapters now so I can finish off this arc coherently, and better than the random half-assed timeskip I was originally planning.

Maybe no new chapter this Friday—I'm getting used to a medication I was supposed to be taking every day.
Instead I'm trying to get back into the habit of art. Have a messy sketch from a little comic I'm working on with Poppy and Ekho interacting.

Without trying to dox myself, I wanted to share this. My town had to put out a notice on "if you're technically a part of the city based on where you are"
They turned off comments to the post because what in the gerrymandered fuck is this? Saw at least 5 crying laughing reacts.

Finally finished this art of Ekho, and gave him a make-up/face paint look. I'm so much more proud of this horn design than the previous ideas. I can actually imagine drawing him again.

Surprise wrap-up chapter before Ekho takes Naomi/Johnathan back to Hell. There’s more before we hit a chapter based on what I wrote 4 yrs ago for Charlie/Vaggie.
Updated the warning for Chapter 98.

Watch this video I made in December 2023, then tell me the person who got completely derailed by a random noise for an hour—while trying to learn how to make glass bottles into drinking glasses—isn’t autistic. [1/2]
