I’m transmasc and I always used to sing Reflection while nearly crying, it works both ways.

Ah, thank you! It’s neat to see what I placed on him.

My friends were on different instances. I don’t think anyone else from my instance worked on him.

Fin Fin was almost a solo project and you can tell. I’m glad I got some help to finish coloring him, I didn’t have the time myself.

As Kobold said, it’s a computer game called Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet. It has a small internet cult fandom. It’s misleadingly marketed as a pet game when it’s more of a wildlife/birdwatching simulator than anything.

Fin Fin inspired me a lot over the last year (even got me into 3D modeling) so I owed it to him to add him to the canvas!

I understand being skeptical, but there’s no reason it should be hard to believe…

You can have a healthy dose of both being informed and practicing self care. Being empathetic is also a good thing, actually.

I really thought this was fake. Wow!

I like the term “zero-prep campaign”. I think I want to use that now. I’ve also had the most fun with those, although planning ahead can be very rewarding in its own right.

Thanks! I tried both, cycles for the ones shown here. The renders didn’t look too different from each other in the end!

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing! I love the tripod fish.

Just, yikes.

I honestly can’t choose. I love too many of them. Some of my favorites are clefable, pikachu, vaporeon, palafin, armarouge, absol, meowscarada/sprigatito, grovyle, corviknight, ampharos, wooloo… just too many!

One gec. 99 to go?

Incredible, I love animals that can live for so long… this little guy has been around to see so many historical events!

True, but it isn’t solely that. I had a close family member that was a very educated chemist. Got corrupted by Fox News and eventually “red pill” communities.

It’s solely dependent on the person and their experiences. I know I personally aged a lot from 16 to 18, but some people mature a little faster, some a little slower. Some not at all.

I think 18 is a decent starting cap, but for some people 16 is their 18, and for some it’s their 14 or even 13. So it’s hard to say.

The manipulation comment is based on my own experiences with teens I’ve known, so it’s subject to bias.

I think it’s fine in theory. However, like the other commenter mentioned, it might not be with the best intentions. Young voters, like older voters, tend to be easier to manipulate.

Tumblr is only good for extremely small and niche fandoms similarly to reddit. If I could mass exodus everyone from some of those smaller fandoms to an alternative like the fediverse I would, but most of them aren’t techy (or stubborn) so it’s difficult!

Mine do this sometimes… or they’ll just lay their whole body on my arm. Stupidly cute.
