Relaxation meme. Whew I’m graduating super super soon, it’s terrifying! Needed a blorbo break :P
Could you show more yungbill stuff please? I just like how it's look in your style
Thanks, anon! My iTunes shuffled to this song while I was biking and I thought it was perfect for them lol. Hope you like!
Changed a few lyrics of course. I WISH the song actually said the singer's partner makes them watch awful LiveLeak footage, now that would be a character worth singing about
Found this weird little comic thing in my files lol, pretty sure it was photographed from an iPad so apologies for the quality (or lack thereof). He's a questionable role model but he means well
Transcription under the cut in case you can't read my horrible awful handwriting (and translation from YVese)

Man I think that's the second time that the punchline to one of my drawings was a character watching Pickle Rick. Idk what that says about me as a person (besides the fact that I wanna go back to 2017 [if that ain't a red flag idk what is])
I've been thinking a lot about Euclydian biology lately, specifically in regards to pigmentation thanks to this awesome ask I got on a side blog, and wanted to illustrate some of the ideas I had. Super quick lazy sketches but hey, maybe some of you will dig this! Nerdy stuff under the cut, will make a bit more sense if you read the aforementioned post
Euclydians have a genetic predisposition towards a "resting" color (in Bill's case, yellow). The opposite of this state (full "flexing" of chromatophore-controlling muscles) is also predispositioned, which is what's seen in the threat display. This rapidly stimulates the individual's metabolism and gets their blood really pumping in preparation for conflict, but is also somewhat costly in terms of energy, so is typically only flashed rather than maintained as Bill does it
"Teeth-peeking" is the cute zoology term I came up with for when a Euclydian displays a couple teeth overtop their eye without fully switching into mouth-function, usually as a threat but sometimes a sort of stim when they're hungry
Communicative flashing ("Chromatic") has a few languages. The most primitive is Simplified Emotive which is a quick display of mood, while the most modern is Traditional Chromatic, wherein patterns of color serve as words. Words in Traditional Chromatic are not ciphers like they are in TBoB and there aren't always direct translations into English
There are a couple accepted ways for a naturally colorful Euclydian to signal an emotion or "syllable" that matches their color, typically either by a subtler change in value along the edges or by changing everything BUT the edges
It's probably worth noting that Chromatic of any variant is considered a secondary, uncommon language in modern Euclydian society. It's simply more efficient and easier for most to speak, though I think Simplified Emotive probably stems from the natural threat display and so it's more intuitive. It's not unheard of for someone's edges to flash "angry/surprised" (◼) for a second if you bump into them on the sidewalk
A memetic blush is a learned behaviour in which individuals appear to fluster by a reddish shift in color along the face, edges and vertices. This might just be something Bill (or hypothetically other Euclydians who come into contact with humans) does I'm not sure yet but it's cute so
Given the body needs to conserve more energy when fighting illness, it's not uncommon for chromatophore muscles to weaken or spasm in order to lessen metabolic strain, giving the individual a patchy look that often reveals the naturally white skin below the chromatophore layer
When rigor mortis occurs in a dead Euclydian, all the minute muscles in control of chromatophore dilation contract all at once, rendering the entire body white. Because of this, white is considered a bit of a grim color in Euclydian culture; you know emos are wearing all-white instead of all-black
Conversely, a perfect, non-tinted grey is a regal shade because it's seen as a sign of fitness and strength. Maintaining a neutral grey requires very precise control over one's chromatophores to get the balance right and hold it there
Euclydians are capable of training the muscles that control their chromatophores like any other, and as a result can change their resting color with enough discipline! They can also use this technique to give themselves markings. Haven't decided the cultural implications of this entirely, but I think the idea of someone training themselves to match their threat display so nobody can tell when they're angry, for example, is a cool idea. Possibilities!
Dunno what to draw so just trying to keep productive with even more refs. This is Clay and he's my angsty lumberjack boy 🥺 He's a hybrid between a bat-eared fox and a black-headed python
It's possible I might be on hiatus for a bit, things are really bad at home right now but I'd like to try and keep a sense of normalcy so who knows, maybe I'll keep posting just for that. Much love ^^
Hey, I'm still alive! Have yet another ref 'cause Art Fight is coming up real soon 👀
This is my girl Deti and I won her in a huge contest a few years back; she's so pretty and so nice to draw and I just adore her. She was in need of a clearer ref so !! Here you are girlie :D
Hiii it's very nice to see you back again! I hope you and you're sister are okay and happy, and if you aren't then I pray you guys will be soon 💕 also lovely lovely art as always hehe
Thank you so much, I hope so too! I appreciate your words of support a lot. Big e-hugs 🫶
Hi I just uh figured out how tumblr asks work do you think grunkle stan and murdoc niccals should get married /j
I didn’t know who Murdoc was but I Googled him and of course he would, he’s RICH!
Hello, minuscule Kaput and Zösky fandom! You may know me as that complete stranger that performed a complete takeover of the Wikia and made it look less like it was AI-generated! I made like 80 pages in two weeks please validate me
There’s very little fan art of these two but I saw this absolutely adorable piece by cartoon_boom on Twitter of them in winter outfits and I absolutely loved it so I drew them! ...It was supposed to be a sketch. Oh well, I’m just happy I was able to fight through art block for a bit. Merry Christmas, folks!
Endermen doodles; don't think I've drawn one since I was 12! Never stopped adoring them though :]
When I was a kid I would always keep one in my home and name him Tootsie Roll
