the need to animate pokemons
you have to remember, if you're truly writing niche fiction, unusual fiction (and I don't mean writing popular tropes with a twist, or writing within well-selling genres but "a bit different") but truly odd, speculative and experimental fiction, unless you're insanely and extremely lucky, your reader-base is always going to be smaller and harder to find and establish than generic, run-of-the-mill material, because the readers are scarce/uncommon as well 💕
growing up as a cis girl the patriarchy told me “you’re a girl because of the way you were born, there is nothing you can do about this, you have no say in your gender” and i hated being a girl because it wasn’t my choice it was a prison and the trans community told me “you’re a girl because you say so, your view of yourself is the most important thing, if you change your mind that would be ok” and it made me proud to be a girl and feel empowered in my gender and i wasn’t trapped anymore and then terfs come along and tell me “you’re a girl because of the way you were born, there is nothing you can do about this, you have no say in your gender (but like in a woke way)” and they somehow expect me to be on their side?
Cierian ergonomic gaming chairs for dragons more resemble recliners than typical human chairs. While they come in many shapes to accommodate different body types, this one is designed for long and noodly eastern bodies. The main body of the chair has support for a naturally curved spine and keeps the dragon's body in the most ideal and comfortable position.
Fancy chairs like these are hard to come by, due to stickman and faun technology prioritizing bipeds over obligate quadrupeds like most dragons. There are a few organizations in MicFortress dedicated to replicating stickfigure technology to be used by dragons. Exports from the city are common for dragons and dragon communities, but they aren't easy to get your hands on due to the price and near monopoly MicFortress has on the tech.
Brought this beautiful kitty home from the thrift store. It looks like an employee found her endearing, too.
(Image ID: A ceramic cat statue about 12 inches/30 centimeters tall, photographed from several angles. The cat is slender and off-white, sitting with her black-tipped paws tucked tightly together and her black tail wrapped around her body. She’s stretching upward as though trying to charm a person into petting her. She has artistic flourishes drawn all over her in a sketchy, ink-brush-like style — including a pink flower blossom on top of her head, a red heart on her chest, leaves down the back of her neck, and multi-coloured fish spilling plentifully up her lower back. Her eyelashes and whiskers are thickly lined in a way resembling mascara, and her human-like lips are red. A handwritten price sticker on the cat’s chest says, “She has a sore [left] ear :( $22″ She does indeed have a small chip missing from the tip of her left ear.)
so what i’ve collected over the past few years is:
Finished, scanned, removed a lot of cat hair digitally~. Will add it to the print store soon too. :)

"Mia kind of sucked actually" yeah geez she only grew up in a resentful death cult, got parentified at age 12, fled the only home she's ever known to avoid being pitted against that same sibling she had to raise, graduated law school alone, overcame trauma and depression to start a successful law firm alone in her mid-20's, and spent whatever free time she had researching emotionally painful cold cases and planning to take down a corrupt CEO. even if therapists existed in the trilogy (real therapy, not Athena's bs), when would Mia have had the time? she covered an incredible amount of ground just breaking free of Kurain and adapting to the world outside the village - again, without anyone she could entirely trust to catch her if she fell. but still, she changed and grew as a person in just the 3-year span we knew her. she got much better at managing her anxious and aggressive tendencies. she was more openly supportive toward Phoenix than any adult was to her. and she was literally TRYING to open up more to Phoenix and Maya on the night she died, by introducing those two halves of her life to each other despite the risks! if Mia Fey "sucked", then how high a standard should women be held to, hmm?
Ace attorney blanket!!!!! This is my most prized possession. It took 3 months and 200 dollars in yarn. And I’m so proud of how it turned out.
