Aw, thank you! <3 I've been drawing for years and love it. I'm shy about sharing it in broader spaces, but I will work myself up to that at some point.

This has the same energy as Lonely Island's song "I threw it on the ground". The male Karen.

Yes. I have no concerns about offending already oppressive communities like the hyper-religious Christian based ones. They will be offended by anything. I'm not worried about offending people who are mean and bigoted like those of the right-leaning, since the things they are offended by are absurd and numerous. I'm more concerned about how it would impact people I consider to be in my own community as an lgbt+ person. I've gotten some helpful feedback on this subject though. I'm grateful, this isn't something that's easy to talk about IRL. Because I have no friends irl (.-.) Hehe. Autism strikes again. Okay, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Have a good day!

Omg thank you. Yes! I want to join the club and be part of that artist sphere. I'm inspired by art by Loish, Tasia M.S., the character designer/creator of Delicious in Dungeon, the anime shows Utena and Dragon Maid, and Sam Does Arts, and Savannah Alexandra on Youtube. My cartoon style is more based in retro Western styles like older Disney and Vivsiepop. My art style may change or not look the same between two drawings. I just needed to know it was okay and I'm so grateful to hear this. Thank you! Can't wait to share my stuff.

Hehehe. Amazing birb names. There was a woodcock in my parents yard one winter. It was so cute! Took us a couple of minutes to figure out what bird it was, we'd never seen it before. It was so busy out there. First it completely flattened itself like a dead leaf when it saw my dad, then when it felt safe, it started fanning it feathers out like a miniature turkey and rotating, it did a little display. (Not sure if it was a mating dance or something else but very cute.) We didn't see it do the walk. But ever since that encounter and after learning they do a little jiggling dance when they walk (via youtube), they are one of my favourite birds now.

I have no idea, but I heard that AI is getting very good at mimicking real people, and that freaks me out as someone with autism since I give off an uncanny valley vibe and my speech can be pretty monotone or stilted at times. Oh God, they're gonna think I'm a robit. :(

Omg. That's so much worse. What the fck, Melbourne? (.-.)

It must scream but it has no mouth. :(

Oh god that poor thing. Man, I don't know man. :( I just remembered that Quote from the last Unicorn, only instead of trapping them inside a girl they trapped them inside a box. "You've lost them. They'll go mad in there!"

Also Trump: Has anyone seen my tan spray? Sir, you left it in the fridge again. Here. That's not it, that's barbecue sauce!

Just being here has felt freeing in and of itself. No ads omg. It's beautiful. I like the slower pace here too, it doesn't bother me to see the same post on the main page from a few days ago. I think it's a nice break for my senses actually.

 

How?? Insane skill. People amaze me.

I stumbled on Veronica Explains on Youtube and holy crap she is so smart. I won't lie though, I felt like a moron trying to understand some of the things she covered. But it was still great to see her stuff.

My mind was blown, truly. It's because of her that I ended up going down a tech video rabbit hole and watched all these incredibly skilled people building their own devices (or refurbishing and transforming older ones) from scratch. How?? My tiny brain can't process it.

 

I see that this is not a very active place but I am currently dealing with the process of migrating from web 2 areas such as Reddit. And I'm also dealing with addictions and a sleep disorder. So, I will make it a habit to post here now and again. I'm grateful to the person that made this space.

I have audhd and am an asexual nonbinary person. I have multiple interests and don't really know what to do with myself because of it. Nothing I like goes together. I have several different interests, different things I want to draw. Sometimes I want to draw crude nsfw art, other times I want to draw cute cozy art, other times I want to draw a furry character, other times I want to draw creepy art, other times I want to try a new illustrative or indie art style I just recently discovered.

I like the raccoon. The raccoon represents this uncontrollable urge to dig through the trash and scrounge up all the things, do all the things. The raccoon is scattered like me.

Some other weird details: I like making collages on the computer. I think it satisfies the craving to line things up, which I heard is a type of autistic stim. Stacking, lining things up neatly, organizing things by a specific trait like colour or genre or alphabetical order. I also like to make "meme" type starterpack collage things that show my interests or things in my life that have meaning at that time. I have made starterpack collages of things that appealed to me at different periods of my life, as well as more venty ones like "visiting my senior parents starter pack" or "depression startpack".

I enjoy writing stories, music, learning new things, science, art, nature and going outside in quiet places like local trails. And I'm bad at knowing how to finish anything I start. Okay bye.
