Wow!

WOW!

THIS IS SLANDER!

I'm trying to get everyone, their brother, their sister, their sibling and potentially their grandparents into Warframe!

And y'all will thank me for it when you get to That Quest.

I do the opposite of gatekeeping, I’m not going to shut up until you like this thing as much as I do

Some living vicariously would do you good, my friend!

Something interesting about lil old me, hmm?

I taught myself Contact Juggling so I could reenact the crystal scene from Labyrinth after finding out that that was, in fact, not a camera trick but practical. Now I can barely pick up anything spherical without at least giving it a casual lil juggle.

So many mutuals already tagged, so @hexergraf and @southern-belle-outcasts my loves, if you want...

tag game!

tag your moots and tell them something random about yourself

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

I'm actually a huge fan of enemies to lovers because I do think it's hot but to be clear "enemies to I think you're attractive and that's overcoming my hatred of you" sucks ASS the trope is about growing RESPECT and GENUINE AFFECTION the POINT is that they always found each other attractive but it doesn't MATTER until they also have a solid relationship built on trust respect and friendship!!!!! Do you understand my vision!!!!

DNI lists on this website are fucking insane

Another little Protoframes gouache sketch WIP.

I haven't painted in over a year and am diving in head first

[hardwiredweird]

These moments when you're contemplating getting back to Tumblr RP... But it would be with (a) character(s) from a semi obscure video game nobody knows anyway....

Lil WIP on another gouache sketch.

I think Flare is one of my favourites of the Protoframes!

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions

[hardwiredweird]

It's been ages since I've drawn anything and even longer since I pulled out the paints. I feel super rusty, but it also is so good to create again!

[hardwiredweird]

Hot take everyone needs at least one creative hobby to accompany their consumptive ones. I don’t mean just art and writing I mean literally anything where you create something. Embroidery, cooking, knitting, gardening, wood whittling, trap making, needle felting, instrument playing, bug raising, fandom analysis writing, ANYTHING where you do work and can hold the fruits of your labor in you hands. Anything where you MAKE something else.

Something that isn’t a career choice. Something you don’t have to be good at. As long as it brings you joy.

Please get hobbies, they enrich your life.

[hardwiredweird]

If GenAI didn't steal artists works then pirating movies and music is also not stealing and should be legal.

[hardwiredweird]

All my mutuals are hot. Reblog to tell your mutuals they are hot.

[hardwiredweird]

I don't think I've posted these before?

Drawing has been a drag recently (thanks to injury and just general .... state of things), but WHEN I draw, it's usually one of the Hex.
