#okadraws is my art tag!! take a looksie around, i usually reblog so much it gets buried. If you send any VotV related asks or requests, there's a good chance I'll respond!
I am Okavara, both an author and artist. I used to be a Homestuck, but my current main fandom focus is Voices of the Void, which has gripped me viciously and won't let go. I really like drawing Dr.Kel if he were a Cryptid. Please read his Origin Story! <- that is an embedded link, please click it if you are not a minor! Please mind the warnings and be mature about the topics covered in this fic (cw suicidal actions, cannibalism)
About this Blog:
First and foremost, I use the internet as an escape from the harshness of real life. It will be EXTREMELY rare I reblog serious posts on this account. Sorry. I'll eventually make a side account for reblogging whatever.
Let's talk tags!
The main tags I use are #okatalks and #okadraws, please do take a look through these tags and reblog what you like! I love love love to know when people like my art and yapping <3 #Cryptid Kel is also a tag I use a lot, and there is where you can find a LOT about my current blorbo, an AU of VotV.
#okapolls Is for polls, which I very very rarely do!
#archiving is my sort of favoriting/useful/bookmarking tag!
I like to tag some of my favorite artits' art that I reblog with some tag based around their username. If you see me doing this to you, please don't worry! I'm just making a scrapbook of your art here on my blog because I love it very much.
Let's talk interacting with my posts!
For the most part, please interact however you like. I WILL say though, please use the pronouns I use for a character under posts with my own art! I once had someone assert a different set of pronouns than I used in a corrective manner underneath my own art. That was a very unpleasant experience for me and I would not want to have a repeat of that!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LEAVE TAGS OR COMMENTS IF YOU WANT TO. I SEE THEM. I SEE ALL. I WILL READ THEM. AND CHERISH THEM. ALWAYS.
As for me personally, I prefer to reblog instead of like! I tend to use likes sparingly to either keep certain posts especially special to me
DNI: Just don't be an ass/general troublemaker/all the usual asshole stuff yknow. I'll block you if you smell weird or hate trans people. Please take it personally and get better.
DMS: If you wish to directly message me, please be aware that I already have dozens of people that do this. I do not have the time to respond to small talk with strangers or people who wish to become friendly with me.
I PREFER ASKS!!! I LOVE ASKS!! SEND ASKS ALL THE TIME!!! I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT CRYPTID KEL!!

New arir oc concept I have had cooking for a bit that plays around with the fact arirs tan in reverse, and I also don't have an oc yet for the niche of being a tall born tall. The reason the darker skin isn't too saturated is to represent that this is an arir's version of someone who doesn't get enough sunlight.
So far her personality is that she is a bit sheltered when it comes to how bad things are on her home planet as well as across space. As far as she's aware, tall society is great, and humans are in dire need of help and incapable of figuring things out on their own! They need alien intervention that won't look like alien intervention! Inadvertently making her kind of an asshole. She means well but oh my god girl.
She's a bit clueless and will not hesitate to give her opinion, even if it means that she will accidentally or intentionally insult an entire species or even the shorts' circumstances. She's upset humans haven't solved world hunger yet and have systems that take advantage of the poor - hell, she's bothered that humans still use capitalism at all. Little does she know that that's exactly what is happening on her homeworld in the shorts' empire.
The plan is for her to piss off Neopi but also really scare Neopi by existing, making for a very funny dynamic

I like how you think prev. There might be more art soon in the future of Kelryptid wearing this outfitβ¦ π
Also YES he can be hot. Heβs an average built weirdo in his mid 20s who gets bloody and grimy and willingly eats bugs and is likely a total nerd about space and aliens. I love a weirdo who would probably exchange theories with me on possible extraterrestrial life. He also has the charm of a wounded animal. You wanna just. Scoop him up off the curb and set his broken bones you know???? Idk. Im fascinated by this doomed astronomer, can you tell. I think confidence would look really good on him (see art)

I wanna know what #Cryptid kel would think of having a blahaj :3
The trans icon now has a trans icon!! Congratulations!!
Side note I'm really really glad that Kelryptid resonated with so many, I had no idea I wasn't alone in my experience/feelings/relationship with my sense of self. Truly a beautiful feeling!!
OH YEAH and uhhh Kelryptid would think its a neat stuffed animal and be completely clueless about the implications btw. He would treat it kindly though and it would live next to his collection of plushies which includes the dolls that the arirals made of him. Both of them!!
What would a crptid kel that overindulged in their desire look like at this point in the fic?
This is a delightful question! I imagine this question comes from what I have set up back in my earlier days of developing cryptid Kel, which is very visible in chapters 1-4 when I wasn't as certain with the direction I wanted to take him and Furfur.
Back then, I wanted to have the cannibalism go more the pop-culture route of becoming an endless hunger. However, that isn't the case now, and I haven't been able to update the fic yet to reflect that. THAT BEING SAID. Let's get into this, because I really really really love talking about this kinda stuff.
So, first off, lemme drop you a rewrite of the initial cannibalism scene that I'll be using in the rewrite of CotV. This is something I actually meant to convey at the very beginning, but never did for whatever reason!
vvvvv - Lots of images below the cut - vvvvvv
Now, re-contextualized, his cannibalism wasn't just curiosity. It was something more.
If Kelryptid overindulges in his desires... By this point in the fic, post-chapter 9, it will look very interesting. Kelryptid choosing to overindulge will look like him thawing everything left he has in his freezer, and trying to share it with the arirals. Going too far. Hunting down any pulse and trying to feel it under his teeth, seeking closeness and connection desperately to the point of needing to taste it like blood on his tongue.
I'm not sure what would happen if he bit an ariral. He's vaccinated, but I feel the alien incompatibility is just far too great, and while his immune system might not immediately react to it as an allergen, I don't think he'd be able to digest anything well. Even a few drops of ariral blood would probably make him very sick.
I do have a plan for his desires to slowly become impossible to ignore, but the first step for that is to get rid of his stash. Second step is. Well. Make him get stupid and territorial as deer tend to after they shed their velvet. Their antlers aren't just for show, they're for fighting, and so is Kelryptid's. With noone to fight, I feel like he'd start pacing around wildly in his cage (dunkeltaler) and this is where things get interesting. The rest I won't say, since I don't want to spoil my fic, even though we're in a large hiatus right now due to the (DIVORCE) but you know!! I still love Kelryptid dearly and want to continue his story once I am in a better place.
That said, the ORIGINAL plan was for him to have the possibility of becoming one of the black fog beasts by going too far. Now, it's different. That being said, here's a funfact about my AU: the black fog beasts, the prying eyes, those are Furfur's underlings, and Kelryptid was about to turn into one in CotV! He almost did, but managed to save himself at the last second.
I imagine the black fog beasts are strange creatures underneath that maw, all with some pair of antlers in the shadows to be similar to Furfur. They're one of his legions that he commands in this fic! Now you know!
-
TL;DR: Kelryptid overindulging by chapter 9 will be him freeing his true self and getting a bit carried away. Someone might get bit
everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.
here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)
get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7
What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just βthey know theyβre safe now.β Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
If you are on a Windows 11 computer, pause everything you are doing for one minute and:
Open computer settings
Click on Accessibility on the left-hand menu
Scroll down the Accessibility menu and click on the Keyboard Option
Under the "related settings" tab, click "Typing" which should have a description of "spellcheck, autocorrect, text suggestions."
Turn off the AI "correct misspelled words"
and most importantly: turn off Typing Insights.
[ID: a screenshot of the above mentioned Windows 11 settings, showing that Typing Insights is now turned off, with the following description from Microsoft:
"Windows is using artificial intelligence to help you type
To help you save time and type efficiently, Windows can learn to suggest words, autocorrect spelling mistakes, and interpret swiped typing. Take a look at the insights below to see up-to-the-minute stats on how Windows has learned to improve typing for you. These stats are stored only on this device and Microsoft does not collect the typing insights data."
End ID]
"But Mx. November, it says right there Microsoft doesn't collect the typing insights data!"
I mean, yeah, it says that..... for *now.*
It also only specifies that Microsoft themselves don't collect it, and they wouldn't have made this something that I was automatically, secretly opted in for without my knowledge if they didn't have something to be gained by me not knowing it exists!
I only found this because a cat walked on the keyboard and turned on Filter Keys and while trying to figure out why my keyboard was just making chirping noises instead of typing, I happened to click on "typing insights" by accident.
Generative AI, and especially AI that is used to "personalize" and track your activity across the web and on your computer are never going to be in your best interest, it is always going to serve these companies in whatever way will line their pockets the most, and all it takes is updating their terms of service once, and then all of that data they promised they weren't collecting suddenly all belongs to them.

What is Kel's favorite thing to listen to on the radio?
Probably the "O my Heart" album by Mother Mother β₯
Good ass album that has a lot of writhing around in feelings and emotion and peeling your skin off type vibes or chucking your heart into the ocean that I think Kel would vibe with because I feel like taking the job at Dunkeltaler for a few months was a form of escapism for Dr.Kel. Purely speculation, but that's my hunch and headcanon
absolutely delighted that you want to know my headcanons though!!! I should draw him sometime β₯
