🐌🥾💧🌱- It's Irrigation Season Baby! (who the fuck knows when I'm online)
Me: Mildly maniacal mountain man (approximate). Hugely enthusiastic and helpful, if sometimes brusque— my inbox is always open, same with my asks. I have a truly concerning number of interests, but at the core is creativity and learning. I love to push myself to learn new things and improve my skills. Ignore the associated wip graveyard please.
Hugely anti censorship. If you think that makes me problematic, good, screw off.
I'm over 30 and while intergenerational friendships are incredibly important, I'm bad at self censoring and like lewd shit, so 🔞 this is NOT a minor friendly space 🔞 If you're old enough to be online unsupervised then you're old enough to curate your experience: I am not the one to get upset with if you hang here anyway and see something you are uncomfortable with. I wont police where you go online, but I'd rather you not engage with my works, please look up 00s internet safety recs for minors.
Currently hugely into the Fallen Hero Games and very down to nerd out about the impacts of telepathy on sense of self.
I'm frankly terrible at tagging but I do my best: #my art and #my writing (plus #raz becker if you're looking for my Sidestep) are the most reliable...
Also trying to be brave and write/share fanfic:

It's done! I am so freaking thrilled with how this came out. It was immensely fun taking the old poster and trying to figure out a balance between the old art and a modern take on fire management, as well as how to make it my own while retaining as much of the original style and color as possible. And I'm not normally one to stick my whole logo on my illustrations, but I wanted to match the original poster which as the USFS logo there, so!
Shout out to @vaspider for helping me puzzle out better wording for the bottom chunk of the poster.
You can get prints and shirts with this design in my Printful shop! If there's another product you'd like to see it on, let me know!
Some more thoughts and ramblings about this piece below the cut, including a side-by-side with the original poster.
The Death Rides poster was produced in 1933 by the US Forest Service, but I've sadly never seen the specific artist named anywhere. It reflects the pretty typical attitude of the time that fire=bad, that it leads to death as a negative thing. It's also one of the most popular pre-Smokey Bear fire prevention posters. This thing is EVERYWHERE, especially in wildland fire circles. It's on posters, shirts, even a few logos.
I have never seen a GOOD reproduction of the thing. I feel like there's got to be a good quality one sitting around somewhere, but it sure doesn't seem to have made its way onto the internet. They're all grainy with strange color splotches, but that's never seemed to effect its popularity.
I do really love the concept of the original poster, and the simple phrasing that drives home the clear message. For my redo, I wanted to keep the overall look and feel, and the simple, clear message, but changing it to match modern understandings of fire and its place in the cycle of life in forests. I set out with the following goals:
Show fire as a part of the natural cycle that helps keep landscapes healthy.
Make the horse less distressed looking.
Remove the gendered language from the messaging.
Keep as much of the original posing, composition, and colors as possible.
Showing the renewal cycle was the trickiest part, because the composition really didn't leave a lot of room to show the regrowth portion. I think I came up with a good balance, though, by having the forest very overgrown, dark, and unhealthy, then having the strong dividing diagonal/arrow of fire bringing light into that dark overgrowth, and the open, regrowing portion behind the smoke and flames. I also had the regrowth coming from the horse's hooves so that the horse is more of an active piece of the story, rather than being forced through the whole affair.
The regrowing plants in the background are fire poppies and fireweed, as well as a few distant aspen saplings, all of which are some of the first plants to come back after wildfires move through. Death also got a fire poppy as the clasp of their cloak.
For the phrasing, I came up with "Death Renews the Forest" almost immediately, but I had more trouble with the bottom portion. I wanted the phrase to not be gendered anymore, so switched it to "we." Initially I thought about something like "When we are educated in its use." But I wasn't a big fan of "use." While the poster does feature Death doing an intentional prescribed burn, I also wanted the phrasing to apply to letting naturally lightning caused fires burn. So less "use" and more embracing fire overall. This is especially true given that in the US we have, unfortunately, gone back to a full suppression strategy as of 2026 thanks to an executive order from the orange menace. So, despite decades of research showing how much harm that causes, we've been ordered to start doing it again. Which, to me, just makes this redo of the poster even more relevant right now.
Spider helped me puzzle out some other phrasing ideas, and I really liked this final one. I think it is balanced really well with the top portion of the text, and the overall message of the poster.
So yes! Had a lot of fun with this. I probably will do some more redos of other famous prevention posters at some point, but I'm not sure when or which ones.

Lulu— 🧸 : Into public displays of affection or are they more reserved?
Jayne— 🚲 : Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?
Ven— 👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?
Thaaaaank you!! <33
Lulu— 🧸 : Into public displays of affection or are they more reserved?
Mhmm. Not reserved, but Lulu won't initiate any displays of affection themself. It would rarely crosses their mind to do, both in public or in private. They're totally chill to go along with them though, to the point of potentially getting their ass arrested for indecent exposure~
Jayne— 🚲 : Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?
Ahhhh, does Jayne enjoy it? Not really, he's definitely more monogamy-minded and unknowingly craves having a simple life he can just share with someone else. In practice though, haha~ Jayne is a mess. He doesn't enjoy playing the field, but his love life is a tangled ball of yarn and he keeps just getting it more and more tangled. u_u;;
Ven— 👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?
Noooooooo! Well, mhm. No, but it's because attractive isn't really a thing Vendetta emulates to be? Ne would rather be nemself, broken but (mostly) honest, than be something that's just bland but pretty. o: That's what the Farm wanted nem to be so Vendetta has been running far from that idea for as long as ne has been on the run from the Farm. Ne wants to be nemself, even if that means ne ends up ugly. Honestly? If ne is ugly, that's even better! And, ha. No, never. It would never occur to nem to use that to nir advantage. Ne isn't supposed to be attractive. That's why ne has Deja and ne definitely does as Deja, but never as nemself.

how to guide on distracting yourself and your business partner from the Los Diablos summer heat 🕊️ (alt version for the peeping toms 👀)
Aka. what do you do when you believe you cannot be wanted in the same soft and reverent way as your puppet?? You lie about liking it rough during sex so the guy you hurt has a chance of hurting you back, of course!
my fav thing with the alphabet asks is picking a brief word that has letters im interested in knowing the answers to
JOKE for Ari, both sfw and nsfw parts <3
ask game can be found here!
thank you for asking! :D
SFW
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
what he feels is not rlly an angry kind of jealousy, as much as it is melancholic. he doesn't like it, when he sees Ortega flirting with other ppl, it's uncomfortable and annoying but those are feelings that are very quickly drowned by the knowledge that this is probably for the best
even back in his Sidestep days, Ariel was under no illusion that he would be able to live that life for long. a part of him always believed the Farm would catch him sooner or later, and even though that part grew smaller and smaller every year it never fully went away; he justified Ortega's flirting by arguing (with himself) that it's a good thing. it's good for Ortega to not get too attached, that means that when Ari is gone he won't suffer too much and he'll have an easier time moving on! and that's a good thing, its GOOD, IT'S DEFINITELY GOOD-
besides that there's the whole regene thing, the fact thet he would never be able to give anyone a "real" relationship bc he's... different. it's always going to be based on a lie, and he hates that. with Ricardo there's also the whole gay thing, and his reputation, and really it's for the best that their relationship was kept under wraps. besides all of that, there's also the secret extra buried reason that Ariel just believes that he destroys everything he touches. everything he does, everything he gets involved in, he's bound to mess something up, he'll corrupt it like a disease, its only a matter of time. so really, it's for the best that ppl don't get too attached to him
so i supposed the answer is that yeah, he feels jealousy, but he also believes that he's not entitled to feel jealous over anyone. any jealousy there is gets buried under a weird mix of anguish and relief and longing that he refuses to untangle, and then all of it gets pushed deep deep down so he can try to never think abt it ever again
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
it takes a while, yeah. although, honestly, i think on a first impression Ariel can come off as more closed off than he is; truth is, he reacts to the way ppl treat him - if you're rude, he'll be rude back, if you're friendly he'll be polite, if you're charismatic he gets suspicious (that's the one exception). point is, if you're open with him, and you give him no reason to doubt you, he'll be open with you as well, though he's not gonna reveal everything abt himself all at once
its all a matter of trust, really, and his trust isn't as hard to get as he'd like it to be. if he's in a tense/life or death situation with someone and they prove they're reliable enough to look out for eachother, that's already enough, it's why he warms up to Ortega fairly quickly. he has his secrets but he also prefers to be honest when that's an option; depends a lot on the stakes involved as well
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
oh he's a surprisingly good kisser. even before he got much experience with it he's always been a quick learner and good to adapt in unknown situations... and he has an oral fixation but ill get to that later-
i think his kisses will vary depending on partner and context; he can be chaste and sweet just as much as he can do intense and breathless. i do think in a horny context he grows more aggressive as he gets winded up, lots of tongue and nibbling which can definitely get messy. at some point it stops being abt technique and just becomes an outlet for all his enthusiasm and overwhelm, which some ppl probably wouldn't enjoy as much
as for where he likes to kiss... god, everywhere, but i think the neck and shoulders, chest, stomach, back and inner thighs are his favorites. he also enjoys kissing scars, it's just such an intimate thing for him, and he often likes their textures
he likes to be kissed on the lips and neck, and on his hands and wrists. but he also enjoys kisses anywhere, especially in an intimate context
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
he's boringly mature abt these things; a sit down and a serious talk, like adults are supposed to do. he'll let his partner lash out at him if they want to, he's very aware he's probably breaking their heart, and honestly he's definitely hurting as well. depending on the situation however it could end on an explosive argument... honestly i don't think there are many things that would make Ariel break up with anyone, unless it was abusive in some way or he got his trust severely betrayed
i can also see him trying to break up bc he doesn't want to hurt the person he loves... but that would be a very sad and probably not very convincing attempt
NSFW
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
he doesn't <3 or at least he tries not to. unfortunately for him he was cursed with a pretty high libido, so sometimes he doesn't really have a choice in the matter. when that happens he tries to make it quick and mess free, so it's not particularly satisfying or all that enjoyable, he just wants his body to calm the fuck down. he has shit to do! and its very important shit!! he can't be wasting time w this stuff!!!
as curious as he is abt p much everything else, he just never rlly felt compelled to explore his own body a lot, not when he's alone. that has to do with trauma, yes - humiliation can be a p good disciplinary tool, something his handler used extensively on him, and he hasn't really unpacked all of that yet. he also just has a bit of an odd relationship with his body... he doesn't hate it, but he doesn't particularly like it either. it's there. it's something he needs to take care of and be aware of to be a good fighter. he doesn't like looking or thinking abt it too much. he knows what he looks like but sometimes it feels like it's not really his body. so he avoids touching it, or thinking too hard abt it
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
he's weak for it, both giving and receiving. genuinely one of his favorite things, he loves to do it but is a bit hesitant on receiving it, just bc its so enjoyable he might cum too fast and that's just embarrassing/disappointing
he doesn't have that much experience, but again, he's a quick and adaptable learner, and this is something he genuinely enjoys, so skill is not going to be a problem for long. even while it is i think his enthusiasm would definitely make up for it as well. i do think he'd struggle a bit with deepthroating tho. would definitely gag on the first attempt every time, always needs to take a moment to remember himself to breathe and relax before he's able to do it
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
both giving and receiving: oral fixation, praise kink, orgasm denial, overstimulation, scent kink, primal play, spanking, pet play
strictly giving (NO receiving): body worship, bondage
the ones that keep him awake at night with guilt and a slight sense of bafflement: sadomasochism, dacryphilia, blood play, knife play
the one that he hates but cannot deny unfortunately does get him going: humiliation (but not degradation, that one's a no-no)
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
outside of Ortega, he has none. he avoided/straight up denied flirting with his targets back in his cuckoo days even when it would make his life easier, something that he did get punished for when it went directly against his handler's orders. his luck is that he often managed to get the job done either way, so the punishment was never that harsh. he's also demisexual, so sexual attraction is kinda rare for him, Ricardo rlly was the first person he ever felt anything for in that regard, Argent and Chen coming along years later
so he's very inexperienced, his saving grace being his telepathy (that he can't use on Ortega) and his great observational skills. early on he also does a lot of mirroring, paying attention to what his partner is doing and what they seem to enjoy and parroting it back to them until he's confident enough to start acting bolder. his downfall is how pent up and touch starved he is bc he's a loner who ignores his body's needs 90% of the time; that's the major reason he's so sensitive, and why it can be a bit of a struggle even when he does know what he's doing
Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:
1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!
2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.
3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)

Human/Mundane au Relynu... I really just wanted to play around with how the dunmer facial features would translate into a human one.
I feel like she's already pretty baby faced by elf standards so it was super fun to try and change that to a human face without totally losing her shapes <3
