crazy how there are only 2 hours of doing things every day before you keel over and die. if this werent normal id be worried
SOOOO hard to talk about body issues with teens because it’s like “how your body looks doesn’t matter well I mean it may matter to society/others but it SHOULDN’T matter to them so it shouldn’t matter to you but I realize that right now it does matter to you because it affects how others/society treats you and it’s hard to just convince yourself that doesn’t matter”
Trying to explain almost anything to teens is hard because they’re in a period where what people think of you forms basically your entire life experience.
“Who cares if nobody likes what you wear! The worst that can happen is that you’re laughed at and talked about and excluded from social activities and never have a date to the dance and don’t have friends to support you during one of the most turbulent times of your life and don’t have the social practice necessary to transition into adulthood and are perceived by others to be worthless :) stay true to yourself! <3”
"If they're judging you for that, you need better friends! I mean, I realize they're not really 'friends', they're just people you're forced to spend 8 hours a day with..."

The Ojibwe nailed it. Wawa is exactly the right name for a goose.
Speaking of Ojibwe! There’s a new point and click game to help teach the language! It’s called Reclaim! Azhe-giiwewining, and is currently on sale on Steam!
Your last megalomorpha post was my favorite so far! I was wondering if shinchu is based on any particular insect? maybe the brood parasite phengaris rebeli?
Shinchū is a bit of a mix! Her body is a scarab beetle larva, her horns are a butterfly caterpillar. Megalomorpha's larvae often look the same (standard beetle body type) but their adults can vary widely, so I wanted to be loose with the design and give it something distinctive from the other larvae.
The pupa at the end is a stag beetle, too! I wanted something that looked a bit hard to decipher at first, but still a bit reminiscent of the beetle grub!
And Shinchū's father was also important to think about, though it can only be seen as a silhouette and has no direct influence on the story! It was based on a Hercules beetle, which to me reads as old and imposing.

The deliberate systematic purge of transfems by the staff has gotten so bad that not even Gooseworx was safe. Fucking Gooseworx.

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn
you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever
here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you
They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,
Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing
edit: people are reblogging without the addition so im putting the extra versions in the base post too

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”
Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops
I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastard. We all were.
👆Really really good article by the way. Feels like a good piece to show to folks you know who are still on the fence about things like police or prison abolition. Plus the pseudonym the author uses is hysterical, and he's really quite a good writer.
extremely good article, please read it. at the very least read the "how to be a bastard" section, it outlines a lot of the ways cops will try to trick you
I’m sure you get tons of comments like this but I wanted to say that before finding your megalomorpha art I was legit terrified of bugs. In retrospect it’s kind of funny that a series of found footage short stories (that sometimes border on horror) was the catalyst that sparked a deep love and appreciation for insects and arthropods in general. You have an incredible talent when it comes to storytelling, the world you built gets richer and more interesting with every addition. Not to mention the Photoshop quality, it’s genuinely amazing how realistic your work is. I hope making art continues to bring you joy for as long as you have that inspiration and have a wonderful afternoon
This genuinely means so much to me! Working on Megalomorpha was also the catalyst for my love of insects so this is really touching. I'm so glad my art has inspired someone to look at the world with different eyes!
As a little anecdote, I'll share why Megalomorpha ended up being about insects at all! Back in 2020 I decided to make a horror story for the first time. I wanted to use a picture of archaeologists digging up something scary, but had no idea what that scary thing should be. Then I saw someone on my timeline looking very freaked out because they found this in their garden:
Not the exact photo I saw, but it was a Cecropia moth pupa just like this one. At first glance it looked like a weird stone artefact or some kind of alien egg. So I decided that's just what I should add to the archaeology dig!
You can read the whole story here! (Do note that the 3rd and 4th images and accompanying text are from a later addition to the story from last year)
It was only after this story that I decided to continue it as a series, and this meant I had to research the insect world a lot more! I eventually landed on holometabolic insects (the ones that do full metamorphosis) as the main source of inspiration for this series, and made the stories all about metamorphosis! So this series grew organically as did my love of insects, and I'm glad it's had the same effect on others!
