I'M SORRY

I would normally never do this and I normally avoid all political posting, but the FDA has had to stop a lot of food testing due to staff cuts currently planned at least until September 30th.

This is very dangerous for certain foods and if you live in the United States, I highly recommend that you keep track of this list: https://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-modernization-act-fsma/food-traceability-list

That is a (not fully comprehensive but useful) list of the high-risk foods for contamination and sickness that could result in serious harm or death. The broad strokes are cheeses, but especially soft cheeses, raw/fresh vegetables, pre-sliced fruit packages, ready to eat salads, chicken eggs, milk (bird flu), anything fermented like melons, and pet food, among others.

This is likely not a comprehensive list, so be sure to look things up yourself as well.

If you buy vegetables and plan to eat them, it is best to cook them to a safe temperature and wash their outsides well with water and light scrubbing instead of eating them raw. Treat it like chicken in that regard.

Make sure that the individual foods that you buy often are safe to eat or at risk, and adjust accordingly. This is a fundamental necessity that everyone here will need to follow. Testing is reduced or gone, and reporting on outbreaks will also likely be reduced or banned outright as well.

All you can do is stay safe, use your masks in public again, and make sure that you are clean as well as your food.

Attached below are more tips for vegetables, meat safety should be the same, just be more vigilant.

I love you all and don't want any of you hurt. Let's all support each other, thank you.

Oh my fucking god they made lyles singular visually inconsistent foot even worse

EDIT: OH MY GOD ITS AT LEAST PARTIALLY MY FAULT. I SENT IN A BUG REPORT ABOUT HIS WRETCHED 3 TOED FOOT. IM TO BLAME.

doodled some Look Outside characters... Do wanna draw something more properstyle of 'em some time...

hey BTW is it ever explained who boarded up Apartment 23. is that an interaction I missed or is that just not explained ever

anyway the explanation I'm going with if the game doesn't have one is that Lyle did it. because I think it would be very funny if Leigh tried to kill Lyle because she was bored and Lyle managed to get her to go away by using his camera flash on her repeatedly in a blind panic. would also explain why the key to his apartment is right next to Apartment 23 since I can absolutely imagine Lyle accidentally dropping the keys to his apartment and not noticing

it's Epoida! the caterpillar form full body pic is largely headcanon.

plus some power headcanons:

I could imagine his devil fruit power have to do with like, forming extra body segments for different situations extra legs for running or extra arms for wielding more weapons at once

he could make silk like a silkworm to trap foes when he sleeps he hangs himself from a high spot like a bagworm

he can regrow lost body segments and I could imagine if he's cut in half from right at the junction of a segment, he can grow another immediately while the separate segment, if it has limbs, can function independently for a short while before running out of juice.

if even just one segment survives he could probably regrow himself from that

also because caterpillars I imagine he has a very ravenous appetite, rivalling Luffy's, almost. can't grow extra segments if he's running on empty.

so yeah, those are my headcanons so far

we're so back. proportion/build practice with both zimpeye forms + a redraw of "the perfect zimpeye" ::)

Some kinda oldish Dan doodles- these are from my first attempts at his cursed form ehehe

Eye contact and body horror warning for below:

These last three are a lil more recent thoo

What's wrong guys? It's just him, it's just the Same 'Ol Dan :')

you knock on my door and hear loud barking and scrambling noises and me yelling "no!! down boy!! down!!!" and then when i open the door there is a single crab on the floor
