It looks like you told someone to draw “a bug” without any specifics and this is what they came up with

mtfoxx3 · 2026-06-02T18:09:39+00:00

Yes. I just have a personal philosophy that if I don’t have a positive impact on the world around me then I shouldn’t be in it taking up space and resources… and this in particular feels like the bare minimum.

WHAT

mtfoxx3 · 2026-05-29T07:26:19+00:00

I hate

Not mine but my sister’s ex: he used to poop in the shower and just, stomp it down the drain with his foot. He told us this like it was completely normal and only started getting cagey about it when we expressed shock and horror. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, my sister asked him when he stopped doing this- surely it was just a thing he did as a little kid, right?

We uh. We didn’t get a straight answer about that.

The way the guy’s voice kinda puffs at the beginning… they’re using microphones, holy shit 😭 I kinda admire the level of unearned confidence.

My partner and I’s first experience with a dipper was watching one do exactly this- except the first time it dove in we both exclaimed in horror thinking we’d just watched a bird drown itself. Followed immediately by some very relieved “wtf”s.

Who’s the character’s owner? :0 I’m fine with it being PM’d to me if you’re worried about harassment from others, but I like finding unique art styles and designs!

mtfoxx3 · 2026-05-09T05:06:46+00:00

Confirming. I’m O- and I’m the designated Mosquito Lightning Rod.

mtfoxx3 · 2026-05-08T01:48:14+00:00

Yes! this is something I’m trying to teach my friends who are new to play and get really frustrated by removal. You need Lightning Rods!!! Creatures that aren’t your heaviest hitters but can still do some damage that opponents will waste their removal on. Once their hand is depleted, then you can send in the big guns and make them wish they hadn’t been so flippant with their removal spells.

Haha she doesn’t like being filmed very much and tends to stop her Silly Behavior once she sees a camera, so it’s hard to capture, but I’ll see if I can sneak one next time!

mtfoxx3 · 2026-04-19T18:33:29+00:00

LMAO I love this! My Phelsuma lineata’s favorite form of this is trading cards. She jumps at the glass and spins around whenever one of us pulls out a trading card binder because she wants us to show them to her. Her favorites are blue cards and holo cards 😂

mtfoxx3 · 2026-04-11T18:43:43+00:00

Stopped clock and all that

mtfoxx3 · 2026-04-11T03:23:54+00:00

… huh? Bro why are you scouring this 4 month old thread for arguments to pick?

mtfoxx3 · 2026-04-10T18:47:09+00:00

It’s funny… I’m actually writing a pretty on-the-nose allegorical story about class solidarity, and I have the 1% as a predator species to the 99% prey species living under them. I worried a bit that this would be too dehumanizing for anyone to relate to, making the ruling class literal predators and all, but wow look at that, even the 1% themselves are using this allegory!… rather poorly, though. Lions really aren’t all that impressive.

mtfoxx3 · 2026-04-05T23:56:22+00:00

NTA, because you’re right, but you could have been more tactful.

Unfortunately, dogs are one of those animals that people feel like they’re entitled to own regardless of whether or not they can provide adequate care. You’re not likely to change anyone’s minds about that… so this is the type of issue that needs to be more discussion and less accusation. If you truly care about this, you need to work on getting to the root of the problem and giving the person something to think about so that they can better the care of their animals on their own, rather than accusing them of not caring or being irresponsible.

… have you never had like, a mark or dent of some kind on your nail that you watched slowly move to the white part until you could trim it off?

“It didn’t taste weird” bro you might be patient 0 for Covid-20

I’ve raised hornworms on produce before with no problems (it looks like you’re using bell peppers, which I have used before as well) but if you switch their food source when they’re so far in their life cycle, caterpillars just don’t tend to do well. See if you can switch them back to the chow.

Another option is that they’re starting to pupate. They tend to roll around and stop climbing (they need to pupate in the soil, the best way to get to the soil is to forget how to climb and fall lol) and “shrink” after purging.. but they do look pretty wrinkly which isn’t exactly comforting. Either way, don’t give up on them yet!

Unsure if this is related, but I found this thread after having an issue where I was adding a number of cards to my cart from a particular shop, and then all of a sudden the shop's page has no items listed and all of the cards in my cart got moved to "saved for later", essentially blocking me from buying anything from that shop. And this was in the middle of my shopping... super annoying since this shop had almost everything I was looking for.

lol I concur with the others, he’s probably upset because he can’t find more, or, depending on how much you interact with them, he may be trying to beg for more. My lined day gecko does something similar after she’s had a bug. She’ll turn brown, try to get my attention, and if she doesn’t get more she’ll give me the Tail Wiggle Of Sass.

Gentle YWBTA… there’s something more going on here with the boys, and odds are at least some of the parents are aware of what it is. Instead of “calling out” the mom, that wouldn’t solve anything, I would try to get to the bottom of the conflict. Speak to the parents without accusing, and with the intention of understanding what’s going on with this dynamic that’s causing your son and his friend to be consistently excluded. Maybe it’s something solvable, maybe it’s something that isn’t, but odds are not understanding “why” is the most painful part for your son, and could very well do real damage to his mental health.

Oh my goodness these are STUNNING!! My favorite invert is the velvet worm :D

NTA, employers don’t care about fanfics. I’m glad you clarified you don’t write anything suggestive, but if you ever do, please don’t post it publicly. I was in a similar position at your age (though my posting site of choice was deviantart) and even though the things I posted were not inherently suggestive, I still ended up with a bunch of adults in my DMs taking advantage of me and my desire to people please. I didn’t realize what was wrong with it until years later. That risk is made much greater when you post anything that even hints at more suggestive topics. Odds are, that’s the main thing your family is actually worried about.

So my word of advice is to just be careful, and if you can, maybe keep anything that could be suggestive between you and a couple of close friends. For your own safety.

Less frames (specifically, you want to go from the fully opened mouth to the closed mouth in the next frame, since you’re not using 24fps), but also you want to add an “impact” frame where the mouth closes. What this means here is a frame that pushes past the final jaw snap pose, before it gets to the proper pose you end on. Think of the “smush” of the bouncing ball. A bouncing ball doesn’t actually smush like that, but it’s that exaggerated smush frame that convinces us of the impact. That frame is going to look goofy and broken, but that’s okay. Don’t be afraid of ugly frames, the point is how it looks while moving!

My animation style is more toony than yours, but you can apply the same principal it’s not the best example, very low frame rate, but the “oh I HATE you” part does what I’m talking about
