If you care about your local wildlife, you won't let your cat free roam outside. There are ways to allow your cat some outside time that will keep both your cat and the local wildlife safe, if that's something you're set on. Enclosed outside spaces (catio, enclosed patio area, properly fenced-in and cat-proofed backyard) or taking your cat on walks are both great ways to get your cat outside while still keeping your cat and the local ecosystem protected.

The Watcher dies alone.

She is a very tragic beast. Her family is seemingly killed via a rival of the same species, eventually her giggly echo friend leaves forever, her odd godly companion goes completely catatonic and unresponsive, and because of the numerous predators the line the world and the unprecedented spread of rot (Of which is her fault in part) many of her scavenger friends undoubtedly die. Everyone or most everyone she knows will leave her. There is no way that all of this combined isn't incredibly damaging emotionally and mentally. Slugcat's are social creatures afterall. I am sure that some day, eventually, she comes to peace with it however until then she has to be in so much pain.

I drew a subpar picture of a slugcat and I want to show people them. :^]

i was at a restaurant last week, watching the political ads on the TV between sports games. one from the trump campaign ended with the slogan “kamala is for they/them. trump is for you”. it was vilely clever - and it made a clear statement about who was the enemy, the other, the unwelcome, in trump’s great america. i thought about how the right had gone all-in on transphobia this election season, and i hoped it was a gamble that would cost them.

this week has been a gut punch, and i’ve been feeling a lot of things - rage, fear, grief, and subspecies of those emotions. what i kept coming back to, though, as i digested these feelings, were the people i love. my queer friends. the trans kids in my community. the people who, already, are losing their rights to bodily autonomy, state-by-state. the way that i’ve had to start looking at our country as a fucked up patchwork of safe and not-safe. the way that access to medical care, increasingly, changes depending on which side of an arbitrary border you’re on. i’m also realizing the ignorance and privilege it is to only think of our country this way, now. america has always been about picking and choosing who deserves rights, who we consider a person. but, despite the deep-seated flaws of this country, i live in it. so do so many people i love. and that’s what I keep coming back to: the people i love, and my desire to protect them. at the very center of all the rage and hurt and anxiety and sorrow i’m feeling, is a deep, perilous love. i am holding onto that love. i hope you are, too.

It has always been something fascinating to me.

Ferruginous Tupandactylus

I am a man who is above copy and pasting the colours & patterns of extant animals onto extinct ones, however my partner wanted a ferruginous partridge coloured and patterned Tupandactylus imperator and for him I am willing to sin of the likes of this. To be fair, they are extremely pretty birds. This was very difficult to create.

Most of the lineart of this image is of many months old.

Avaritia (gift)

I offered to make a reference for a friend because I really wanted to draw a dragon. This is the first ""proper"" reference I have made. Rebelle does not have a text function so I sure hope that everything is eligible!

Myosotis An Artfight attack targeted towards, https://artfight.net/~Boquadin

Her patterns where very difficult but worth it. I stared so hard at her markings that I did not realize that the "white" stripes are actually blue. Funny how that works. :'^] This is my very first Rebelle 7 image. I just had to play with the metallics!

Tiny little Genyornis sketch

Nothing special, probably not even accurate, just wanted to draw the little (big) guy. :^] Will probably draw a proper picture of this cool guy eventually.
