got assigned crystal for this year of artfight ; Warning that we just moved out in a new apartment and our exhaustion level is reaching a Terrifying high. we will not participate in the first half of the month, likely. we just Cannot... but it'll really be nice to eventually join when we get some juice back...

but fret not, there are lots of cool friends you can attack earlier. notably: @estecka artfight.net/~Estecka (brand new to AF in 2025) @minasnorma artfight.net/~MinasNorma (brand new to AF) @crocobotto artfight.net/~Crocobot @katslovesalmon artfight.net/~Carlos @shascarnival artfight.net/~ShasCarnival @pnkrathian artfight.net/~pnkrathian the three last ones have been to my experience heavy art hitters ! (which is delightful, love seeing them churning masses of drawings)

there are other friends too but i don't currently have their artfight name (pwease send them to me) or they are currently still not team-assigned and i don't know if they'll participate this year. may add them later.

have fun everyone !

If I have troubles drawing for myself, maybe I can find motivation to draw for others. Hopefully I'm not going to fly under the radar like I usually do.

Counter-points:

Selling potentially fertilized eggs as an e-girl sounds like it wouldn't help with the number of neglected children. The target audience will likely contain many fans who would be elated to hatch the egg, regardless of how good they actually are at parenting, just for the sake having one of their star's hatchlings. Being able to take care of the egg in the first place is a very low barrier of entry; I bet in this world, human incubators would be a publicly available technology.

How big would a human egg even need to be ? I think we're talking around the size of an ostrich egg, if not bigger. Rather than getting rid of periods and pregnancy, that would just turn periods into monthly micro-pregnancy.

been thinking about it again and it's really better than I thought. humanity should become oviparous. it's superior biotechnology.

of course none of the abortion mess would be a thing. people would just lay their egg then choose between warming them up, or putting them in the fridge or making an omelette. like nobody would fear getting pregnant. it's just an egg. if it's not warmed up it doesn't grow. if it's weird to eat your own egg, just feed it to your pet snake or cat or like... sell your e-girl egg on the internet for money or something. maybe pharmacies would have a special box to place your unwanted eggs in and they'd turn them into fertilizer or something.

it would also be extremely easier for same sex couples to get a child they take care of from the very beginning.

but actually it would also protect children against neglectful parents. because if you fail taking care of the egg properly, it doesn't hatch. not enough care, no birth. incredibly reduced number of neglected children. it's beautifully simple.

maybe a downside is that before your periods hit, you'd crave eating rocks for the shell or something, but like. it's worth it, right ? also a very good excuse to finally eat rocks off the ground.

Any checklist of things I need to deep-clean before I click "Deactivate" ?

Parallel Banding

I don't suppose that counts as skin discoloration now does it.

The unshaded version hits a particular vibe that the shaded quite doesn't. Sometimes less is more.

New OC (very mentally stable).

Wanted to try some skin discoloration, but didn't know what patterns I wanted. Ended up having fun with halos instead.

[estecka]

Just a silly mod icon that ended up looking better than expected.

What if we don't actually live a whole life from end to finish. What if every day, our perception wakes up in another body, with no memories of our previous incarnation, but all the memories and personality of the new host. Like some kind of everlasting string of ephemeral and disconnected dreams.

anyway does anyone want to tell me about their extremely personal take on reincarnation and such that they generally don't dare to tell others because it seems irrational from a point of view external from their own head (especially if they're plural)

Opt-out is always a scam, regardless of the context. Opt-out means that they don't need your consent, so long as you don't know they're doing it.

Who could have guessed the best way to get people's attention was to make fanarts. (Everyone knew that.)
