Happy last day of pride month! I just wanted to sum up what this month means to me as it comes to a close.
To understand what June means to me, I should probably first state my relationship with the LGBTQ community. I am someone who spent years struggling to find an identity that “fit”. Eventually, I realized I am happiest unlabeled. I like being able to explain the aspects of myself that I have analyzed to oblivion and feel too complex to be just one term. I do not care if people call me a straight man, an asexual woman, a nonbinary lesbian, or any combination of terms in the world. If you hear my description of my identity and pick a label for me, even if I do not agree with it I am still happy you heard me out and tried to understand me to the best of your ability.
You might think that I don’t belong in the LGBTQ community if I don’t identify with any queer labels but I present you with this: if I also don’t identify with any cisgender or heterosexual labels, where do I belong in this world? Nowhere? If gender and sexuality are both on spectrums, where do the people who acknowledge the existence of the spectrum within themselves belong? To me, the LGBTQ community is for people whose identities do not conform with being cisgender and/or heterosexual, and I can assure you that my identity is not that of a cishet woman in denial.
With all of that background out of the way, I feel slightly more comfortable speaking on what pride month means to me. Pride month, in the simplest terms possible, is a time to celebrate what makes your identity “unconventional”, specifically in relation to gender and sexuality. It’s a period where the LGBTQ community can unite under the idea of being proud of their queerness, whether it be being trans or gay or aromantic or bisexual or genderfluid or anything in between. I love pride month. I love seeing flags everywhere and videos of parades and just the joy and love radiating off of everyone’s faces. Pride month is a time to be unashamed of who you love. It really doesn’t matter whether the person you love is a romantic partner you’ve known for decades or a friend you met five minutes ago. Pride month is about sharing who you are with those who are important to you on a personal level, and with the world on a group level. It’s about being honest with the people you love, but also showing those who may be struggling with their identity or in places that may not be as accepting that they are not alone and that it’s okay to be “different”. It sounds reporterish and stereotypical to say that it’s powerful, but it is genuinely moving to see so many people unite under those two words- pride month- to celebrate what makes them different rather than what they have in common.
In conclusion, all I really wanted to say is pride month is a beautiful way to unite with people, whether it be parents, lovers, friends, neighbors, or even strangers on the internet. I hope that someday every LGBTQ person in the world will have at least one person to celebrate their identity with during pride month.
P.S. congratulations to Thailand for being the first Southeast Asian country to pass a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. I am sure this June will be a pride month the people of Thailand will never forget. Hopefully many more countries in Southeast Asia and around the world will follow suit soon.
Artfight is live!
In two hours but shhhhhhhh
I’m a little sad I didn’t get to update everyone’s ref sheet, but I’ll probably do that during the month as well.
Want to attack me? Here’s my profile! I do almost anything and I’m always willing to try something new, not to mention I prioritize revenges.
Below are the refs I updated for artfight (not the old ones cause those aren’t really canon anymore…..)
Dante and Crete in modern clothing. Proportions are a little wack but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
EUREKA!
September 6th is gonna be a big day for the gays.
It’s me. I’m the gays.
I haven’t played investigations (haven’t even finished the first 3 main games…….) but I’m super excited to get my hands on it when the remastered version comes out! Edgeworth is one of my favorite main characters so games all about him sound awesome. I’m also pretty excited to see Kay Faraday and Sebastian DeBeste :) I love those losers
Below is a Eureka-less version of the drawing.
Welcome to Exernia: Shapeshifters
More info below the cut!
(Gore and blood warning)
Hey there! A while ago, on instagram, I posted a short guide to the species of Exernia (the fictional world I created). However, that guide limited each species to one slide and it didn’t really talk about all the stuff I wanted to talk about. Plus, a lot of the stuff is now outdated and I CAN DO BETTER.
Snug was the first shapeshifter I ever made. He was my persona at the time (not anymore though) and I called his species “Crownies.” That sucked so I changed it.
Some additional info I couldn’t figure out how to fit:
They still require the same organs that living things usually have (heart, lungs, etc) but where they are differs
Shapeshifters are often mistrusted by the majority of people on Exernia because of their ability to shift, many people defaulting them to criminals or cheats.
Shapeshifters are more rare than other species because of their unique reproductive system.
Unlike some species, like Ogres and Elementals, shapeshifters don’t have a unique shared culture.

“You have money, right?”
Halloooooo it’s been a bit since I’ve done a fully rendered thing.
I spent a good while on this one and I’m neutral to the outcome. There’s something that feels a little off with it, but it’s alright. Also this is a screenshot redraw of that one scene in into the spider verse because LOTD McQueen gives me BIG Peter B. Parker vibes.
This is a drawing of @x-eightball’s AU (look on the Darkside) where Dooley was gone for 10 years rather than one. He gets fired from TLPD and has to go around basically doing freelance paranormal investigator stuff. Go check it out, it’s really cool and angsty and stuff. :)
Below is a version without all the fancy filters and stuff cause there’s a ton of references in the back ground :)))
Eyyyyy! Dats me!!
Just so everyone knows I carried in identity fraud (don’t believe eight he tells lies)
life is roblox ft @snugg-slugg
playing identity fraud!!!! some good ol canon typical shenanigans
how i feel after writing only 2 sentences on a fic i said i would get serious about working on (I will not touch that fic again for another month) (i love you @snugg-slugg)
AND IN THIS CORNER….
Oh you guys thought I was done? How silly. As long as I breathe, I will be cringe.
Anyway! I saw @burrotello’s fight club AU and wanted to throw Minnie into the ring! I couldn’t imagine her as an actual fighter, and I realized that we don’t have a referee. I thought it’d be fucking hilarious if a mute character refed, so that’s what I went for :)
Shes far more greedy in this AU, letting Jax and Able get away with a lot more because of the pretty pennies they put in her pocket, despite hating cheaters. When the fighters don’t stop fighting, she gets in the middle of them to break it up. She’s a lousy (and very weak) fighter, so it doesn’t usually go well.
AU belongs to burrotello and Able belongs to sm-baby!

As of right now, these commissions are CLOSED! Check my pinned post!
Hello everyone!

The death toll keeps rising and I want to do everything I can to help. Unfortunately, I do not have enough money to donate regularly, so I’d like to encourage others to with my artwork.
I am new to taking commissions, so I’m going to have to ask for everyone’s patience as I find my footing. Prices are firm and I’m not open to negotiation (remember, this is for Palestine).

Tragic, you're trying to draw your favorite middle aged man and you accidentally yassified him
I am actually gonna get around to answering all the asks I’ve gotten (finals is kicking my ass)
I’ve been drawing these losers laying down a lot for some reason.
Thank you to the ever so creative @incorrect-darkside-detective for this prompt! I always see their posts and want to draw them, but I could never find the time :( Og post below!
Thank you! I actually learned later that Necropolises are real things, but it works all the same!
A necropolis is basically just a fancy graveyard. A lot of the pictures I’ve seen is where there are big graves in the sides of hills, but that’s not always the case. I recently decided that they’re in the land of the dead rather than just some separate world, so it thankfully fits!! :)
Plz gimme some cool art to look at, thanks :3
I can’t promise it’s cool, but here you go!
This is some concept art I made for my digital art class. It’s a game I’d like to make one day. It’s called Necropolis and it follows Detective Burns, a detective with a flaming passion for justice, and Pail, a human who’s really not supposed to be here. I haven’t decided much past that.
Next assignment is an animation relating to this, so expect a cutscene maybe?
Laying on the floor
This is a little thing I drew of @x-eightball’s au, Look on the Darkside, during what I like to call “The Comfort Period.” The added characters are Laura and FBI (Dooley’s dog that I made who isn’t a part of the AU but I wanted to add anyways).
I’m working on my own AU btw! I won’t say much rn but I’m pretty excited to share :)

You’re challenged by professor Lacey and professor Hue!
I was chilling with a friend a while ago and we decided to watch that one stop motion animation Pokémon resort series on Netflix. We LOVED it and I decided to make some Pokémon ocs inspired by it. I love the idea of normal ass people in the Pokémon universe, so we got Cal Lacey with Plusel and Minun (named Addy and Minnie) and Rosey Hue with Smeargle (named Bagel)! They are my comfort straights.
Below the cut are doodles of the two (and their Pokémon)
how did they get in there???
kill yourself
You wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid.
Great news is that I love detectives that are inhuman in some fashion so Detective Burns has a new #1 fan
Thank you so much! I love that gif so much shavbajsbabajana
I know your love for detectives so I present to you a cross over!
I be a liar if I said that Necropolis wasn’t based off of Darkside Detective. Even just the colors in the city and the style of the text boxes are based off of it :)
Burns and McQueen would NOT get along though.
The amount of notes I see on a lot of your art is very inconsistent {Sorry if that came off as offensive}
I like your style, you're a very underrated artist.
Thank you so much! I’m okay with my stuff having inconsistent notes (or at least I’ve come to terms with it) because people are always going to both see and like fanart more than original art. I hope to grow a big enough following to have more consistent notes even on more personal art, but I’m okay for now!
The Amazing Digital DLC: We’ll be back!
This has kinda been a long time coming, but considering I’ve been really busy with schoolwork, volunteering, and a new job (!!!), I haven’t been able to work on the comic lately. I’M NOT GIVING UP, but I do need a break. I will still be posting artwork because I love drawing, but organized work is exhausting :’)
