Nintendo of America, idiots: We're going to assign Shiver she/her pronouns so that everyone assumes they're female.
Me, an intellectual: Nonbinary people can use she/her pronouns. Shiver is still nonbinary. Also, canon can fuck off.
Said 'screw it'.
Never looking back.
Fucking hate every punk bitch posting splat 3 story mode spoilers on youtube
The game isn't out for another 5 days why couldn't these bastards just
WAIT
Anybody else think about how Skylanders is just if EA made Diablo for kids?
The eczematous urge to use a belt sander on part of your skin.
first game to ever scare the shit out of you? horror or not.
im curious so if u sleep w a stuffed animal write in the tags what it is and what its name is
Y'know, I'd really appreciate it if restraunts had some menu item called, "the Picky Eater," that's just the plainest meal they have (a plain and dry burger, a hotdog with nothing on it, a taco with only beef). I wouldn't even care about the name; having to explicitly tell the server, "no pickle, no onion, no..." makes me feel selfish and needy. Plus it opens up the possibility of them getting it wrong and now I have to choose between asking for another to meet "my special needs" or just starving. It's small, but this could so easily be avoided; so why isn't it?
Makes me wish we'd seen dwarf whiptounge bulborbs in Pikmin 3; so cute!

Yo since Focus Interactive is having a sale on Steam, here's your regular reminder:
Play Crosscode
It's gigantic and fun and the characters are all great and I love it and thank you for coming to my TED Talk
I’ll just leave this here.
Yo, wazzap. I’m not dead. I just finished Pikmin for the very first time, so, to celebrate, I drew my little guy in a spacesuit modeled after Olimar’s. I know that this is more simplistic than my other posts, but I’m too tired to care. Please feel free to leave a comment, Thank you :)
Happy Halloween and Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Luigi’s Mansion 3! I really enjoyed this game, although it is the first and only Luigi’s Mansion game I’ve played, so i don’t really have anything to compare it to. Still, I thought it was fun. I hope you like the image; Comments are appreciated! Thank you! :D
The Green Sky of my Xenoplanet
The original reasoning for making the sky of my Xenoplanet green was so it would contrast against the magenta plants. This worked for me at the time, but now I realize that green is not a natural color for a sky to be, even on an alien planet. The solution to this problem? Sky Plankton!
The atmosphere is filled with photosynthetic microorganisms that have the ability to float in the air.
They do this by having an extremely large (relatively speaking) surface to glide on. They also have a very low mass when compared with other microorganisms due to the small size of their “body”.
Members of this microorganism species tend to be about 120 micrometers long. There is little variation among the species as their balance in the air is extremely delicate. The slightest change can result in them toppling to the surface. Notice how small the body is, taking up almost a sixtieth of the total area. This makes them much less complex than waterborne microorganisms. Also, that is not a nucleus in the center of the organism, as this is a prokaryotic species. Instead it is the one and only photosynthesizing organelle.
To perform cell division the single parent cell begins to thicken its gliding surface and body. It also duplicates its photosynthesizing organelle. Soon after this, the cell will perform mitosis. The cell will horizontally split in the middle, ensuring that both of the daughter cells have a sufficient gliding surface. This process is fairly unreliable and will potentially result in the parent cell or one/both of the daughter cells tumbling to the surface. However, this method is their only option. This species has not gone extinct because the amount of bacteriophages and other predators of the organism are extremely infrequent in open air when compared to water. Because of this, the net reproductive rate is positive.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you enjoyed it! Also, sorry I disappeared for a bit. Virtual school just started and it has been a rough adjustment. I’m doing okay though, thanks to my glorious friends. How many? Four :) Do they text me often? No :) Ugh, I need to stop whining. Sorry for venting; if you stopped reading here I do not blame you.
Next time I’m planing on creating more flora and fauna for the surface of my planet. I’m very excited to talk more about these microorganisms in the future, especially how they impact the environment of the planet. I think it will be extremely interesting to talk about how the surface organisms respond to the constant “snow” of dead and living sky plankton, which represent a source of energy. However, in the meantime I’m going to focus on smaller stuff (well, not literally). Please feel free to comment. Thank You and Goodbye :)
I spent way too long on this, as per usual. Hope it makes y’all laugh. Comments welcome and appreciated. Thank You! :)

Original from Kung Pow Enter the Fist (2002)
Decided to improve that Balloon World post i made like two months ago because I felt I didn’t have enough energy to make something new. Essentially had to start the background from scratch anyway. Why do I do this to myself? Comments encouraged and appreciated. Thank You :)
Just the background because I spent way too long on that moon.
...I timed this well. Excited for the new game/expansion, hope we get some more great tracks!
Been listening to the Super Mario 3D World soundtrack lately, it’s gotta be one of my favorite soundtracks in any game. Something about it just makes me want to get up and dance! Please feel free to comment. Thank you for stopping by. :)

The creature seen above inhabits the grasslands of my alien world (seen here). I’ve been informally calling them “hoppers” but they don’t really have an official name. I’m probably going to keep up the trend of having nameless creatures in the future as I’m awful at naming things.
Anyways, back to the hoppers! They are a unique species that has several adaptations to allow them to survive and thrive in their expansive environment. Four of these adaptations are listed and explored in further detail below. I hope you enjoy reading about these creatures :)
1. Size- Excluding antennae, most adult hoppers are about the size of a large rabbit, however they are more upright. The length a hopper’s antennae average at about half the height of the hopper, however antennae length varies wildly among different members of the species.
When hoppers are born they only weigh a couple ounces, but they grow fast. Most hoppers become full fledged adults in about 15 months and they tend to live for about 9 years in the wild.
2. Locomotion- Another similarity hoppers have with rabbits their mode of movement. They take bounding leaps with their back pair of legs and use their front pair of legs to catch themselves. This allows them to achieve remarkable speeds to escape predators.
3. Diet- Hoppers almost exclusively feed on the near limitless grass of the plains. To eat it, they pull several blades of grass out of the ground with their strong front pair of legs. They then pass the grass into their arms and then their mouth. The mandibles on either side of a hopper’s mouth help move grass into the mouth while also tasting the grass to ensure it isn’t rotten or filthy. This will leave the mandibles dirty, so hoppers will frequently clean them with their arms.
4. Antennae- The two pairs of antennae found on a hopper’s head are very sensitive to movements in air flow, however each pair detects different things. The shorter pair on the side of the head are more sensitive to sound waves. This allows the hoppers to hear loud noises around them, however their hearing isn’t very refined as they don’t have an eardrum (or ears). The longer pair are more sensitive to wind and humidity. This allows the hoppers to detect coming storms. This ability to detect storms is so accurate (and storms on this planet so dangerous) that many other species have evolved to flee areas when they see hoppers doing so, making the hoppers an important warning system in many grassland ecosystems.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this! :D Please feel free to ask questions about the creatures or planet, I’d love to answer them! I’m probably going to take a break from creating creatures and get back to more traditional art, however I still have many ideas for my planet that I hope you’ll enjoy. Also, please tell me if the writing is hard to read or if there are any typos. Writing is not my strong suit.
Added some creatures to my alien planet, so I guess it’s an official thing now. I should probably give the planet a name, I got no ideas right now though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ However, I do have a lot decided about the creatures’ biology. I’ll probably make a follow up post with a few more illustrations. For now, I hope y'all enjoy this. Please feel free to comment, thank you for stopping by. :)
“An acid elemental slithers forth.”
This one took me a while and almost wasn’t finished. Luckily I got some help from a friend. Feedback and criticism welcome. Thank you :)
Alien planet because why not. Feedback and criticism appreciated. Thank you :)
Drew some fanart for that Carrion game that just came out. Tried to do some more dynamic poses for my guy and I think I did okay, but please tell me what you think. Also, motorized mop bucket. I don’t know why I added that but it’s now officially the best thing I’ve drawn. Feedback and criticism is appreciated. Thank you :)
