The whole thing is approximately 2.5mm in length, I painted it under microscope with a single one of my eyelashes glued to a piece of dowel.
This one turned out the best of my attempts but I slipped and made a streak I had to repair. It’s tricky when a single twitch of the brush can obliterate the entire painting in one go.
So, in both species of rodents I have kept so far, the existence of a single wheel has IMMEDIATELY caused such covetous squabbling that it required the expeditious purchase of a second wheel.
favorite things about Riverdale so far (spoilers up to season 4):
-Jughead’s Clean and Sober Gang which Doesn’t Do Crimes!
-The drugs that he wasn’t selling were called “Jingle Jangle” and “Fizzle Rocks”.
-Betty Cooper (the best character) has a serial killer dad, and inherited the “serial killer genes” from him, and has an alter ego called “dark Betty” which she struggles against.
-Cheryl Blossom. Just…everything about Cheryl Blossom.
-Archie Andrews’ ONLY solution to ANY problem is vigilante justice and/or forming a volunteer militia.
-Kevin Keller continues to not have a single character trait other than being gay.
-There are secret siblings and half-siblings behind every corner.
-The town is waaay too big to only have one restaurant but everyone is only ever at Pop’s.
-The evil cult leader built a ROCKET to go to SPACE and the writers did not give that space to breathe for even a single second before moving on to five new insane subplots, as usual.
‘Microraptor and the Nest Guard’ - an early-Cretaceous short by me.
I actually made a video documenting my animation process from start to finish for this specific short, so if you’re interested, check it out on my YouTube channel!
The backstory here is that coven master Claudia au claudmand would wear cute little matching outfits and also Armand would be chomping at the bit for the privilege of eviscerating her enemies
yeah it took me a good long time to figure out i was ace because i enjoy porn and jerking off and sometimes feel attraction but sex is like a workout you're expected to be emotional about and the social behaviors associated with romantic bonds just repel me. i don't think it's trauma or whatever; i think i just don't like it. and if i cut porn and my vibrator out of my life i think i would be fine if mildly frustrated but i would still not like sex!
it massively improved my life and my mental health when i allowed myself to stop seeking a person i could barely stand to have sex with every other week because the world insists it's the most fulfilling possible thing in life.
and even separately, it's kind of a dick move to seek out and date people who don't know you're checking a box (or earnestly trying to fix yourself) because if you don't have a partner for too long your parents/friends/coworkers think you're weird! that's a really awful thing to do to someone who enters a relationship looking for a real romantic bond!! if someone prefers porn to sex/dating, them removing themselves from circulation is win-win.
yeah i really dislike the implicit assumption in a lot of porn discourse that sex with another person is always the “healthy” and “normal” option that porn deprives people of. i’m sure it’s part of a pattern of pathologically self-isolating and solipsistic behaviors for some people, but like, a lot of harmless pursuits can be turned to the purpose of being solipsistic and self-isolating
