One Fun Thing About Being A Teacher In March 2023 Is That Chess Is A Literal Epidemic Among Teens. We

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Leif from Bug Fables in bright colors on a purple background. He is standing with his wings open, blocks of ice levitate above one raised hand and the other points at the ground. His sharp, insectoid features are emphasized somewhat. He isn’t incredibly expressive, but seems to hold himself in a determined manner. End ID]

Leif should get to be bright and spiky sometimes. as a treat

[Start ID. A digital drawing of the Slugcat from Rain World. It sits holding a spear tipped in orange blood, the source of which are the two severed pods and body of an Eggbug that lay scattered around it. A batnip plant grows behind it, though the rest of the background is blank, replaced by a transparent pale halo behind the Slugcat. End ID]

Little guy :]

(No spoilers, please! I'm very early into the game and have been attempting to play it as blind as possible.)

ok so i watch a lot of youtube videos about chess despite barely knowing how to play and something really funny happened on chess.com which is the site people go to to play chess online

basically they have a bunch of chess bots you can choose to play against at various different power levels (~100 is total noob, ~2500 is like, mega grandmaster). and recently they released a bunch of…cat themed bots?

but the noteworthy one is the cosmic horror known as Mittens.

Mittens has a listed power level of 1. However, that is a deception. Mittens is actually incredibly powerful, defeating top players with ease, and actually holding his own against the most powerful chess bots in existence.

also he sends you these weird messages like

absolutely wild

My sibling let me make a Wobbledog so here’s my beloved bug pup thing Seraph, in my attempt at making anatomical sense of these glorified Tootsie Rolls

if you still have time and want to draw more ocs uh! I only have three and you can draw any of them, these dudes are also tagged as "hk ocs" on my page if you need more references!!

I would like to hug him 👀

Hello Peridots the amazing artist I am lowkey losing my cupcakes because I did not expect too get randomly spammed with hearts XD. But besides that how are you on this fine night?

I'm good and hope you are too :D

It's...quite a bit past midnight where I am however so I should probably Not Be Active soon

I think your art is cool too though! As, shown by the likes,

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

@sofd-maybe if I had a nickel for every time I drew a cheerful green-veiled hk oc for someone way too cool to be a mutual of mine, I'd have two nickels, etc etc

Anyway! I adore Sylvie's design, even if I may have stretched it a bit with the orange. She's doin a little jig :)

[Start ID. A drawing of Idroa, a roughly humanoid black and red robot with four arms, floating in midair. One arm is brought up to the collection of wires and many-eyed wheels replacing his head in a vague pointing motion, the other at cogs side, and the lower pair is open, spread low at about a 45 degree angle to their body. Translucent folded wings are shown behind her. The background is composed of the faint shapes of maroon buildings and machinery. End ID]
