In lieu of recent developments in an incident that happened several months ago, I think this post is long past overdue.

I was wrong to call out melon those many months ago publicly on my blog the way I did. Truth be told I was in a dark place in my mind, I was stressed and depressed and just full of so much anger then that I just… snapped. And I know that’s not right, I know I shouldn’t have done it, it’s not an excuse. I’m disappointed in myself for letting my anger get the better of me.

I took their response too personally, almost immediately it stopped being about the show for me. I only thought of things from the perspective of adults and failed to take into account the feelings of those who had been through similar situations and were hurt by them.

I want to set the record straight that I do not actually ship Cree and Hoagie at all. I simply wanted to convey ways Cree could change, but picked the worst possible example from the show to portray that. I recognize that. Truth be told, I don’t really care for Cree all that much in general, but I didn’t want to disappoint the anon who’d asked about her.

And lastly, no matter who you might think is “wrong” or “right” in any given situation, it is never okay to harass anyone. I said it in a previous post, but I’ll say it again. The minute you decide to harass someone else over anything, you’re just as bad as they are.

I was wrong for starting this, but I want to end it. I’m really truly sorry to @spicedwatermel0n, and anyone else I may have hurt along the way. I’m sorry for letting my emotions get the better of me and making it public when it didn’t need to be. I’m sorry you got harassed because of my stupid actions. None of this should have happened.

I’m not seeking consolation, I don’t need people to try to defend me or argue about who was right or wrong, that doesn’t matter to me. At the end of the day, my words and actions ended up hurting someone, and I don’t think I can live with myself without apologizing for that.

I will work on being better with my emotions, so something like this doesn’t happen again.

I thought at some point Fear was doing the Double Dee run, but upon closer inspection it was just really similar, but not the same.

Either way, some of Double Dee's lines fit him really well.

It's been recently brought to my attention that people are still harassing the person I had a falling out with months ago, and I want to put a stop to that right now.

No matter what the circumstances are, it's never okay to go harass someone over anything. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, the minute you decide to harass the other party, you're just as much the bad guy as anyone.

If you are one of the people still doing this claiming to be affiliated with me, please stop. It never should have started to begin with, but it needs to stop now.

Some people might not know who I'm talking about, but iykyk. I'm not gonna say names. They've already been through enough without this bullshit, just leave sleeping dogs lie and move on.

Actually, what if they all had tails?

Specifics under the cut:

Joy - Dog. Good for wagging when happy.

Anger - Dragon. Pretty self explanatory.

Fear - Cat. Puffed up 99.9% of the time.

Disgust - Rat. Thought to be gross creatures but are actually one of the neatest.

Sadness - Snow Leopard. Icy, cold, the tail simply drags on the ground behind her.

Anxiety - Lion. Courageous. I count this one as per-existing even though I can't find the original image I saw of her with a tail.

Envy - Squirrel. Just for the cuteness. Her tail is larger than she is.

Ennui - Monkey. Prehensile tail for holding things and hanging off stuff.

Embarrassment - Bear. C'mon, it's right in his name. Stupidly adorable just like him.

God it would cost me like 800 dollars for the flight alone, ain't no way I can afford to go to Houston for that con...

I'm so sad :(

[torra-and-the-toons]

who's coming with me

[torra-and-the-toons]

I saw a picture recently of anxiety with a tail, and it looked like legit concept art but I cannot for the life of me find it again, so I just drew her how I remember it.

So I been watching KND since I was kid, I recently got into Jojo's Bizarre Adventures and watching Part 2 of JJBA for the first time was hard to take seriously because THE VOICE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER

WAS NIGEL UNO!! THE SAME VOICE ACTOR I COULDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY- (well I did eventually because it has heart wrenching moments) but the parts where Joseph being hilarious I just go back to imagining him as an adult Nigel Uno xD

Doesn't help that he's British-American too lmao

that's my ask for the week

Haha yea!! I never got into JoJo, but I def saw that! Ben Diskin is in sooo many things. Dude's got TALENT!

at least of the shows I know, he's in Blue Exorcist, Beastars, Naruto, Kill La Kill, One Punch Man to name a few...

he's also in some of my favorite games, Tales of Zesteria and Berseria (the latter one I never finished) Rune Factory 4, Wildstar (RIP that game was fun while the servers were alive 💔) and looks like some fire emblem games too!

It's so funny when you can catch voice actors in other shows when you know them for something else, the one that always catches me off guard is Mr Rob Paulsen. After rewatching animaniacs I started hearing Paulsen's voice EVERYWHERE.

also kind of related but Wally's voice actor is also in a lot of other things including Appa and Momo in Avatar, that's so wild to me lmao.

Mad respect to voice actors, man!

My friend is putting together a wild west homebrew of DnD and he's letting me make a Tabaxi!

Meet Painted Canyon (Canyon for short, or just Canny) She's an older lady at 46, a single mother to two cubs, who are currently under the care of their grandmother back home. Canny does whatever she can to get gold to send back to them so they can live comfortable lives.

She's a Ranger/Sharpshooter and she has a pet Raven named River, who is often the one flying the money she makes back home.

I had the wonderful opportunity to draw a commission for my friend/coworker's new song!!

Please consider giving it a listen, support up-and-coming artists!! (Plus he's super talented too!!)

When the bossman's away, the Torra will play.

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

Sukkhi is my mechanist. She has a story of her own that's separate from my main commander and crew. I used her to help a friend of mine through his story so she's kind of became his childhood friend/right-hand-asura and took on a story of her own.

Her mech's name is Rockbot. She used to have a Golem named Shazam that was destroyed sometime during the IBS, she then built Rockbot after seeing the jade tech in Cantha.

Also mechs are hard to draw klsdfsdhfsd

I made a couple stickers for my sister and co-worker who both lost their beloved fur-babies recently...

Hmm let me get a poll for something real quick

I want to see how many people have easy access to nature, as I assume most of tumblr lives in urban areas such as cities or large suburbs, and a lot of people seem to not know much about the native species of plants and animals in their area. If you answered several, please reblog with which ones! And if the natural area is not mentioned, add it in a reblog or comment :)
