Working on some chicken variations. Might be a little while till I get them in the shop, but if you have chicken breeds you desire let me know. It’s hard with my color palette, but I’ll try my darndest.
This isn’t going in the queue I have to share this NOW lol.
(Image ID: A green alien stuffed animal shaped like an egg. It has arms and legs, big black eyes, and a line for a smile. On its back in black embroidery it says “Eggstra-terrestrial”.)
No more fighting and shaming people for their type of f/os. Support and love for all kinds of f/os Now.
✰ You have live action f/os? Maybe even only live action f/os?? That's awesome!! Your f/os from movies? Tv shows? Some independent series/project? That's so cool!
✰ You have anime f/os? Does your f/o list have popular characters from this season's newest anime or the most popular anime phone games? Love that for you! Glad you're having fun with your latest interests.
✰ You have f/os from video games? That's cool! Recent releases? Maybe even older games, last generation? Or maybe games even older than that? Indie games only a handful of people know, or indie games everyone knows? That's amazing!
✰ Your f/os come from children's shows or movies? Are they animated, or maybe live action, or one of the shows that use puppets? That's really great, I'm glad you can find beauty in these shows people might say you're too old for. Never let anyone stop your love for your interests.
✰ Your f/os are from comic?? Me too! Are they from big name series or maybe the lesser known ones? Are they indie comics? Maybe even webcomics?? Hell yeah, great taste.
✰ F/os from podcasts? Actual plays/liveplays?? Novels?? Yes!! How fun!! It can be hard when there's very few visuals of your f/os and all of your content is just audio/writing, but it's sweet that you can find so much love for them that you don't need visuals.
✰ Maybe your f/os are from something I didn't even think of. If so, I love that. Your taste and love for your f/os is unique!! And I'm glad I get to learn more about it :)
I think it's great that there is such a wide variety of types and tastes when it comes to self shipping. Some people's f/o lists are only super attractive anime pretty boys, some are from clunky PS2/Xbox games, some don't even have visuals of what they look like, some you've seen everywhere and some you've never heard of in your life. It's great, our differences are what make all of us coming together even more beautiful, I think.

It occurred to me that it would be fun in some fantasy story to have squirrels with wings, but then I remembered that their tails are so fluffy as a way to slow them down when they jump from branch to branch (and occasionally fall out of trees).
A squirrel trying to flap enough to move forward with that kind of drag would be a sad thing to see. Flying with the brakes on.
And well, there's always magic in fantasyland to make things easier, but that's just cheating.
My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.
Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.
And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.
everyone talks about lot about dean hitting cas with the “just a silly little guy” beam at full blast but we should also appreciate him doing that to jack too bc here is a nigh-omnipotent demigod who can and will kill you with his mind or strangle you or rip your heart right out of your chest and eat it raw and who killed an entire archangel and deans over here like “can’t believe I’m being sassed by Rosemary’s millennial 🙄🙄🙄 okay nerd, okay Mighty Mouse. yeah he’s the antichrist but don’t let that spook you he’s actually very silly. just between you and me the most evil thing about him is that he enjoys Hawaiian pizza. he’s my buddy and my pal and my kid and I make him watch bad horror movies with me and go shopping when we’re out. murder? what murder?”
Screaming out into the void once more because it's very fun for me
I made autism + adhd creature in my art style because I'm autistic and I wanted to draw the creatures they're very very good they make the brain happy juice
