Recent Doodles (oc Edition)

I know this is low in quality, but happy birthday Kirby!

I hope you like the cake.

May I have the back view please? (Also my art style is based a lot on canon Kirby with some cookie run, hollow knight, Pikmin, Among us, and Pokémon sprinkled in, so it might end up looking more like official twitter art, but there are a few notable differences, I’m not good at drawing hands, so they end up looking like balls, and sometimes I’d totally forget the color of a Dark Matter’s Iris, which is why it’s black most of the time and I somehow find that cute, and I’m not good at dynamic poses too.)

Pssst anyone down for an art trade :D

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.

for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.

so how can you help?

boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.

learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.

get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.

donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.

and finally…

@dark-mega : Periwinkle! What’s your biggest fear?

//I'm sorry for the confusion, but this should actually go to @askthedreamyversegang, it's my AU's askblog, so I can answer it in-character for you, please send it there instead, thank you.

Back at it again with a new oc! This time it's Yumemi!

Lore under the cut!

Lore: Yumemi is part of the enderman species of Minecraft, her biological parents are an albino member of the species and a regular one, however her DNA is actually a spliced replica of both, made by a scientist to experiment with genetics, though she was a success, countless others before her failed, she was later sent away to an orphanage, and adopted by two loving parents, but her parents passed away when she was very young, so she had to fend for herself on the streets, she later discovered she had shadow manipulation abilities and used it to help other people who were also on the streets, later she applied for a job as a staff at a coffee shop to earn some money to use for her necessities, but she found it hard to resist going outside into the wilderness, so one day, she packed her bags and left, she wandered around for a while until she finally settled in the Tundra biome, until one day, while she was out exploring, a rift opened up and sucked her in, somehow leading her somewhere very unfamiliar to her, she ended up found by Kushina at the Teitaku Station during her usual shift there and they became best friends.

Abilities:

Teleportation: A must have for an enderman, this is one of their base abilities.

Picking up blocks: Another must have for an enderman, this is also one of their base abilities.

Water Resistance: Albino enderman are less sensitive to water due to there being little to no pigment in their skin that makes their skin incredibly sensitive to water, Yumemi only has half of the resistance however, and the black half of her face and body is extremely sensitive to water.

Shadow Manipulation: The reason Yumemi has this ability is her ancestor also had this ability, but she has recently awakened it, she can summon tentacles and her shadow puppets (Puppets made out of shadows that she uses invisible string-like magic to control them.)

Skills:

Brewing: A skill she picked up while working at the coffee shop, and later refined after finding a tome about the stuff, very good at it.

Archery: She's been an expert at this since middle school, her school had an archery club and she decided to join, has won multiple awards for the school.

Bonus:

Yumemi's Shadow Form:

She uses this whenever she goes under cover, so she usually hides under someone's shadow and waits for the right time to strike.

Yes, of course, I'd love to.

Pssst anyone down for an art trade :D

Rebloging since this is absolutely serious.

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

Has anyone heard of Deekness ft.IA yet? For anyone who's heard of it and couldn't find the lyric translation for it, good news! I managed to translate (And used https://m.romajidesu.com/translator to translate the lyrics and edited it a little.) it myself, I'm not a Japanese expert myself,​ so it can be considered a little better than Google translate.

Video and Lyrics under the cut!

Finally made a reference sheet for the very first Kirby oc I’ve ever made, Ginger! More info under cut!

TW Trauma, Mass Murder

Ginger is very adept with the Ninja and Parasol copy abilities,​ since she's been trained to use it at a young age, she's technically about 10 years old in human years, and boy does she suffer from a lot of trauma. What trauma? Family Massacre, she's the last remaining member of her family, she also is very clingy thanks to this and doesn't want to lose another important person in her life, since she has lost her entire family, despite this she still has a Happy-go-lucky attitude, and is very loyal to her friends, and trusting to a fault, though to people she hates with her entire guts, well… Once she finds them, they're sashimi for sure, though she's quite forgiving, which means there aren't a lot of people she hates with her entire guts.
