due to recent events (my SIL got bullied at artist meet ups for being a beginner) - if your chosen artist community tells you that your art isn't good enough, looks ugly or they tell you that they could've done it way better - HIT. DA. BRICKS.

a healthy community will NOT talk you down like this

however, mainly for the purpose of seeing how much spirit an animal can hold, and to test how quickly it can regenerate spirit, so that the breeder can know whether that individuel should be used to breed more animals. 4/4

(especially when someone is breeding large amounts of animals together to get these traits) the resulting animals will have the desired traits but will also have various other health issues (which again, is similar to breeding animals in real life).

Magic is definately involved in this process 3/4

for are not real in our world: namely, the ability to hold a large amount of spirit, and the ability to regenerate spirit quickly. The former is dependant on both environmental and genetic factors, but the latter is largely genetic. The former is also the one that is typically most wanted. Often 2/4

#Marchistics (cw discussion of animal mistreatment)

For my purporses, I'm interpreting this as how the animals to be used as spirit conduits are bred.

The process is quite similar to the real life process of selectively breeding animals for certain traits, except the traits they are breeding 1/4

something like that that they've caught, and that they're selling to get a bit of extra money. Spirit magic conduits do go for quite a bit, after all. 6/6

commonly also somewhere that is rich in spirit (such as a very old forest or something like that).

However, in some cases people will sell animals to use as spirit magic conduits that weren't specifically bred to be that. In those cases, the animal in question will usually be a rat or 5/6

animals to be spirit magic conduits is illegal in most places.

Alternatively, some people raise animals to be spirit magic conduits in places that (either de facto or officially) are not under the juristiction of any government. A lot of the time, this will be somewhere fairly rural, and 4/6

spirit magic conduits will just be keeping them in their house somewhere, or in some other (relatively) small building they own/have access to (if they have a small number of them): the animals they're breeding are almost always going to need to be hidden away somewhere because of how breeding 3/6

animals that are used as spirit magic conduits actually come from.

As I said in the last post, then in a lot of cases the animals will have been bred specifically for the purposes of being a spirit magic conduit, and thus they won't have been raise in the wild. Sometimes people breeding 2/6

#Marchistics (CW allusion of animal mistreatment) (had a bit of a busy week so I'm catching up 🫡)

So once again, not much changes between a spirit magic conduit and its "raw materials", since the final product is a live animal. However, I thought I'd use today to talk about where the 1/6

splatoon is one of the seven wonders of the world.......

EVERYONE GET MORE INSANE ABOUT YOUR OWN OCS NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boards I did for the intermission sequence. I didn't really have enough time to clean it all up, but it gets the point across. It was fun to go goose wild with this one.

bogleech: One of these is a magnificent machine designed for utility, towing, and all around blue collar work. The other is a useless status symbol. SAME BED SIZE. (Below is an image of a Kei Japanese imported truck that looks well-used next to a pristine Z-something midsized Chevy truck). Saw this Truck Discourse on Facebook and I'm not part of that world but yea that one on the left is delightful and I really had noidea just how wasteful and pointless the other kind is until this comparison. fucking-what: Image of a work truck with listed attributes Downward sloping hood. Advantages: - More aerodynamic, letting you go faster & spend less on gas. - Better road visibility for seeing children and obstacles - Less deadly if you hit someone - Lower lights don't impede other drivers' vision And an image of a modern pickup GMC on the right, labeled High front hood. Advantages: Lets you feel really tough, like a big boy. Below is another photo with the caption 20 Years of pickup truck design progress in one photo. The images is of an older, smaller pickup truck next to a much larger, more modern pickup truck. crevicedwelling: it's so sad that they've been selectively bred for size and aesthetics over their health. look at that pushed-in muzzle - there's no way the one on the right can breathe properly

Reminded me of this gem LMAO

Call me a monster if you want but I don’t think daylight should be saved

New stupid scam alert. Scammers are now reaching out trying to get photos of your face to deep fake videos and con your friends and followers out of $$$ through counterfeit accounts. Fucking ridiculous.

if a little baby said "I made these cookies can u buy some 🥺" I would buy many because it was made by the baby and I want the baby to be proud of the cookies she made

Some old personal work.

We used this to test the rough line treatment that ended up in the Hyper Light Breaker trailer.
