My Warframe is StRoNk!

Twinkbo!

I based him off of my original 2023 Limbo, hence the colours and bow tie 🎀 (he's a little princess).

This is him right before he moved in

This is him right when he moved in at 8 years old.

And then he remained looking that way for SIX YEARS.

Gems dont grow. They're born the way they are. If a gem is childish and small they will remain that way for the rest of time. Change is an abstract, even taboo concept for Gems and subconsiously the Gems enforced this belief on Steven. They treated him like he would never change and he didnt.

Until Connie came along.

Steven had been surrounded by people who never expected him to change. Sure he had some human contact, his dad, Lars, Sadie, Onion, The Pizza Family, The Frymen family. But they weren't close to him. Not really. The only one that could've done anything was his dad, but he had already accepted Steven wouldn't be normal.

It was Connie that really introduced Steven to the human experience. Who introduced him to the concept of school, to reading, to learning, to growing. He gave him the expectation that he should change.

So he began to grow alongside her. Despite the fact that he was around 2 years older, he grew up with her and at the same pace. He finally had a reference, something to live up to.

He still wasnt growing naturally though. He was still the expectation of what he should look like. And while it was never shown in the show, we can see that eventually Steven did start growing naturally. That he began growing stubble, that he began caring less about a color scheme and became more and more human

You may be wondering how I got into this situation. That's good. Keep wondering. If you pay close attention to the rest of this movie and employ your critical thinking skills, you may find that the answer unfolds as it goes along. Sometimes it's good not to know yet, and to wonder. Sometimes that's the entire point.

It was brought to my attention that it's been well over a year since I last drew my Wisp FashionFrame (affectionately known to some people as "Bloo"). Think it was the Glyph remake that was the last time I ever drew her.

So, uh, consider this an apology gift for all the Lanternshit I've been posting lately.

Joking aside, yeah, it's been a long time. Longer than I would like, tbbh. If there's two things my current hyperfixation on Green Lantern has been good for, it's a) rediscovering the joy of drawing again and b) gradually learning that it's okay to draw stuff that appeals only to me and not meant to please everyone else.

idk.

I’m not upset or anything, I can kinda see what you mean! If you’re expecting anything cool on the internet these days to probably be fake, yeah, the colors on the meat do look incongruous.

Let’s take a second here and use this as an educational experience for everyone. Fake animal photos are totally an internet scourge these days. If you don’t trust the OP of a post like this saying it’s not AI, how else could you check and try to find out?

Three things to help you verify not slop:

1. There’s a bunch of other photos in series with this one on my website, which allows you to see context for when and how the photos were taken. There’s also other photos of this animal and this habitat in other lighting and weather conditions. That’s generally more work than people will go to if they just want to create a viral photo, and you can look for internal consistency.

2. AI isn’t good enough yet to replicate specific stripe patterns on individual tigers, they get all wonky. The animal and her location are named in this instance and it’s easy to google to see if everything lines up.

3. You can also check to see if the thing in photos actually happens. The meatball throwing demo is a very, very common occurrence at this facility! It’s a regular activity during talks when tigers are in that habitat (it is a multi-species rotational space). They posted a video on their Facebook fourteen hours ago of their curator getting a direct shot into a different tiger’s mouth.
