you're nEVER going to guess who's alive!!! (me). I dont think I've logged into this site for at least a full year my BAD gang I was in the TRENCHES
I'm readvertising here for 2025 as I was just in a pretty un-fun car crash and definitely do not have the money to cover it (as my insurance will not fix my car), so I'm offering up any commission!
I also take custom feline design commissions (for you warrior catters out there) and animatic/PMV commissions, which I can whip up an estimate for if you reach out to my at my e-mail: rileyclaw.art@gmail.com!
Reblogs or shared are super appreciated, thank you!
(also a link to my ko-fi here, incase!)
we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead
"There's gotta be a way out of this!" "I gotta do it." "What?! Don't do this! Are you crazy?" "Trust me." "What?" "Just this once. Trust me!"

While reading wings of starlight this is how I imagined Queen Clarion young.

me getting five notes from my regular mutuals on any given post
It's still sinking in that The Owl House was about a girl running away to a fantasy world, all because of the ripple effects of losing her father at an unfairly young age — only to eventually learn that the fantasy world itself was made of the bones, and the flesh, of a loving father who'd protected his child with one of his final actions, before dying and giving life to that fantasy world. And eventually, in his truly final action, even giving life to Luz herself. Luz ran away to the Boiling Isles, all because of a single book that her dad gave her — and unknowingly, she spent every day walking over ground that embodied parental loss. A world that was born from a parent's death, a parent who had to leave their child far too soon — and not just any child, but Luz's own new best friend, in all of this new magical world. And King and Luz were only ever brought together because of their fathers' deaths — before they even realized they had anything in common to grieve. Before they realized a reminder of that grief had been beneath their feet this whole time.
But, at the end of the day... their fathers both gave them parting gifts. Their fathers both gave them the key to come of age in a world full of people who'd care about them — maybe not the only world where they could've been happy, but a world they wouldn't want to imagine missing. Their fathers gave them the chance to meet each other. To understand each other. And, ultimately, to heal and grow up together. Until the ground beneath their feet stops feeling so heavy, like grief — and starts feeling lighter again, like a gift, and a happy memory.
hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed
Is this anything. Idk. It came to me in a vision.
they had no reason to be serving challengers realness for hsm promo 😭
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
Support real artists ☀️
Have I ever mentioned how the doggo and kitty in Kitbull
always remind me of them
i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:
1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.
2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.
60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.
can’t believe this iconic moment hasnt shown up on my dash yet in light of today
et tu
we've done it again folks
Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?

i love seeing cardinals and bluejays together i’m always like “hehe.. evil siblings”
“Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I’m no pet, I’m a married man.”
THIS. THIS IS WHY EPIC IS GOING PLACES. THIS WHY ODYSSEUS IS THE SINGLE MOST AMAZING PROTAGONIST EVER. THIS ONE LINE. DO YOU KNOW WHY???
Alexander Hamilton, protagonist of the hit musical of the 2010’s: How could I say no to her? My wife will never know. No one has to know.
Also Alexander: This is the only way to protect my legacy. The Reynold’s Pamphlet.
Odysseus: Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I’m no pet, I’m a married man.
Also Odysseus: You plotted to kill my son. You planned to rape my wife. All of you are going to die.
Athena when debating the gods whether or not Odysseus should be freed from Ogygia: intellectual and level headed as she appeals to their hearts 🤓🥺😞
Also Athena when Ares says anything remotely insulting about Telemachus: bro shut the f@ck up and leave that little guy alone! 🤬🦉💢
“Penelope is a strong independent woman she didn’t need to wait for Odysseus”
Penelope and Odysseus are the absolute furthest thing from independent of each other, they are fused together, like-minded, you don’t know where the Penelope starts and the Odysseus ends. They are bonded, must adopt together.
“Penelope deserved better”
Try and take this man away from her and she will hiss and scratch your face. Maybe she does deserve better but she sure as all doesn’t want any better.
My family has this thing where if we see a cardinal, we say it's a passed loved one coming to visit
I cant help but apply that to Hunter, when he goes to the human realm, if he ever does, how does he react to cardinals? Does he think of flap? I'm sure he does.
