Would you care for a story? One that's rather long? Or, one that begins at the end, where we are all wrong? Some twenty-five year old person. Part-time artist, whole time anxiety-driven cuddly platypus. (She/he/they are all ok) ASK FOR PERMISSION TO USE MY ART
oh given recent events and a lil follower surge, some reminders:
- real person fiction of still living people is incredibly harmful and damaging to those people. while it should absolutely be yelled about, the recent case involving minors of a popular minecraft multiplayer series is not the first, i have seen years of kids being abused in online spaces and rpf is a very violent part of that. if you support rpf get away from me.
- i am agender and asexual, and an adult. t*rfs/tr*scum/gatekeepers aren’t welcome near me or my content.
- idk i’ve yelled a lot over the years about not being nasty to people, saying it all again would be repetetive, basically if you’re creepy to minors your joints are now forfeit and i will be collecting the lil hinge bones in time.
- when i say don’t be creepy to minors, i ALSO mean depictions of children, written or drawn. if you look at the representation of a kid and go “what if i made that s3xual” i wish for you to get help and do not interact with any minors until you’re able to recognize how and why that statement is fvcking horrendous.
- and don’t repost, re-use, or redistribute my art without my express explicit permission!
now that i’ve nearly completed my journey, i need to say that i’ve been playing so much monster hunter world and i am going to be so so happy when i finally run fatalis right through with my lance, i’m so close to victory and turning that living heraldic banner into my new coat, supernova cone be damned

Plato makes up Atlantis as an allegory and over 2,000 years later people are still looking for it. You might as well be looking for Narnia.
Plato: Luxury and unlimited power are forces that corrupt human beings and lead them to being colonialist and stupid. The gods will punish Athens if we continue to exploit others for our own gain. I have invented this society as a parable to illustrate my point because I tend to use metaphor for a lot of things.
Everyone: But where are you hiding it though
Plato: I’ve purposefully included details like a mud shoal west of Iberia that doesn’t exist and references to a volcanic eruption that we all have cultural memory of as an obvious indication that I made this up. Are you paying attention? It’s a metaphor. I’m using literary references. You can go west of Iberia yourself. It’s not there. I explained where it is and it’s not there. You all know it’s not there. Please stop it with the luxury and exploitation. That’s my main point here.
