*the fanciest

photoshop edit where i pasted my black cat Phoebe into a screenshot from Titanic. Phoebe is sprawled out on the couch from Rose's stateroom, looking at the camera with a pensive expression, ready to be drawn like one of Jack's french girls

Astro🪐@astrobride· 19d

she is... so beautiful (and silly) and most of my photos of her are... so low-res

photo of my black cat Phoebe sitting on her fuzzy pink window perch, basking in the afternoon sun

photo of my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) lying on a black office chair. she's in a very funny pose because i took this pic while she was mid-bath. she's looking at the camera wearing a rather pensive expression

i'm sorry if sometimes Phoebe looks like a patchwork quilt in the postcards/other graphics i've been making, i'm trying my fuckin best here 😭

crudely drawn meme of a guy standing alone in the corner at a party holding a cup and wearing a party hat looking really bummed out. there are equally-crudely drawn figures around him dancing and smiling and having fun. text next to the guy in the corner reads "they don't know i spend hours putting makeup on my cat in GIMP so she'll look nice in the art i make"

Phoebe made a friend in the jungles of Borneo :) i'm making these postcards for donors to my fundraiser for my kitty Phoebe's urgent medical issues :) link in qrt ⬇️

photo edit i made in the style of a postcard where i pasted a cutout of my black cat, Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) into a photo taken in the jungles of Borneo, Malaysia. in the photo, a Sunda clouded leopard was caught by a trail cam at night and her eyes are glowing like orange lasers. the Phoebe cutout is very low-res and she's just a dark cat-shaped void with two bright glowing laser eyes. text on the image reads "Borneo, Malaysia"

all aboard! Phoebe's ready for an adventure on the grandest ship in the world 💕 there's a giant replica of the Titanic in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee because of course there is i'm making these postcards for donors to my fundraiser for my kitty Phoebe's urgent medical issues :) link in qrt ⬇️

photo edit i made in the style of a vintage postcard where i pasted my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) into a photo of the exterior of the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. in the photo, a 1/2 scale replica of the original RMS Titanic looms large and majestically over a building next to it that's made to look like an old office for the White Star Line (old company no longer in existence that owned Titanic and her sister ships). the Titanic replica takes up most of the photo. the cutout of my cat Phoebe that i pasted in shows her sitting attentively in the foreground looking at the camera wearing a pensive expression. i added grainy filters over the postcard edit to make it look aged as though it were a relic of a bygone age when Titanic and her sisters still existed. text underneath the postcard reads "Titanic Museum -- Pigeon Forge, TN"

Phoebe is really hoping this fella will give her some fish, pretty please 🥺 apparently the Seattle Pike Place Market fishmongers have this whole famous fish throwing routine thing i'm making these postcards for donors to my fundraiser for my kitty Phoebe's urgent medical issues :) link in qrt ⬇️

photo edit in the style of a postcard i made. original photo is of a scene in the famous fish market in the equally famous Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington. there is a man (one of the fishmongers aka fishmarket employees) standing in the center of the photo looking at the camera and holding a King Salmon. there are fish on huge beds of ice behind him and there are signs sticking in the ice detailing the type of fish and their price. i pasted my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) in the photo. she is sitting and looking up at the man holding the fish, yellow eyes bright, wide, and pleading. she's really hoping he'll give her some fish. text on the image reads "Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA"

Thank you so much to Francisco on Ko-fi for your donation ❤️ We sent Phoebe to beautiful Santorini, Greece! She had a great time soaking up the sun :) I worked really hard getting this one *just* right. was going for the retro travel postcard vibe and i think i nailed it

photo edit i made in the style of a postcard where i pasted my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) into a photo of Santorini, Greece. text at the top in very retro-looking fonts reads "Greetings from" and underneath that in big pink semi-transparent letters "Santorini" and underneath that "Greece". phoebe is on one of Santorini's white wall balconies. she is sitting attentively and properly like the perfect little lady she is, her yellow eyes are bright, open, and friendly

hey friends, haven't had much movement on my mutual aid request to get my ESA kitty Phoebe the urgent dental care she needs for two weeks now please share if y'all wouldn't mind 🩷 if you can support us anything helps, even $1 ko-fi: astrobride paypal: astrobride@outlook.com #HelpSky #MutualAid 💸💕

picture of a spiral galaxy onto which i put a progress bar that's partly filled in. text under the bar says "14% ($560/$4,000)". text to the right of the galaxy reads "Phoebe's Dental Fund Progress". i also pasted a picture of my black kitty Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) sort of sprawled out with her front leg extended over the progress bar so it kinda looks like she's chillin on it. she's illuminated by the galaxy and she's looking at the camera

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jul 10

i really couldn't choose which i liked best -- text on the bottom or on the sides, so here have both also, Raleway is the most Scandinavian font ever

photo edit where i pasted my black kitty Phoebe into a photo of Tromso, Norway. she is loafing on a snowy rock by the strait, facing away from us, looking thoughtfully out at the city and the Northern Lights. text on the left reads "Tromso" and on the right "Norway"

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jul 10

here's a lil Phoebe postcard for folks 🩷 figured i should keep making them even when they aren't prompted by a specific donation. version 2 below ⬇️ i picked a place i've always wanted to see: Tromsø, Norway. i love orcas and you can swim with them there

people like Trump, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, etc. are TERRIFIED to reckon with the sins of their forefathers. it's why they do the things they do 🧵because i felt like rambling

Historian Lonnie Bunch, the Smithsonian's current secretary, is the first African American to lead the institution. In an unrelated interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Bunch said "the notion of being a more perfect union, not the perfect union, is really what motivates me."

"I think what I want people to understand is that there is a responsibility to continue to make those aspirations available, accessible, meaningful to a whole range of people," Bunch said. "And that, in essence, America's greatest strength, it's not running away from its history, but it's understanding how that history shaped us and continues to shape us."

i, bluesky user astrobride, highlighted "America's greatest strength, it's not running away from its history, but it's understanding how that history shaped us and continues to shape us." in yellow for emphasis

my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) is curled up on a beige blanket on my lap. her beautiful black fur is being illuminated and made extra shiny by the overhead light

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jul 5

photo edit of my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) where i pasted her into a photo of the Atlanta airport. i also pasted some plane tickets into her mouth. she's in the middle of a long boarding gate hallway thing

Thank you for your donation @bonnicula.bsky.social! You sent Phoebe to this reclining Buddha statue in the Buddhist temple Nanzo-in on Kyushu Island, Japan. She had a peaceful, warm sun-nap against the Buddha 🩷

photo edit where i pasted my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) into a photo of the large blue reclining Buddha statue at the Buddhist temple of Nanzo-In on the island of Kyushu, Japan. Phoebe is laying down next to the Buddha and it sort of looks like her head is resting against him. text at the top reads "Japan" and underneath that "Buddha at Nanzo-In".

wowzers

screenshot of the AirNow fire and smoke map centered around Washington DC. all air quality monitoring stations are lit up in colors of orange (not great) and red (definitely not good) and purple (VERY unhealthy) -- likely due to Trump's firework display for the 4th of July

the minimum donation for the Phoebe travel photo manips is only $2 because we *really* will take anything you can spare!!! so don't feel like you have to give big or go home plus, i love making them! and i think they're pretty cute. they're kinda like postcards examples: (click/tap to expand)

photo edit where i pasted my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) onto a photo of a cenote in Yucatan, Mexico. Phoebe is loafing and lifting her face to the afternoon sun in the original photo of her i used. text overlay on image reads "Yucatan, Mexico" on the top and "Enjoy every meowment..." on the bottom

photoshop edit where i pasted my black cat Phoebe into a photo of the Eiffel Tower. Phoebe is curled up on a low wall next to a sitting woman who has her back to the camera. the woman has her arms thrown out in an excited gesture as if to say "here it is! wow! the Eiffel Tower!" text overlay reads "Wish You Were Here!"

a photo edit where i pasted my kitty named Phoebe into a photo of a room in Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. the room is very fancy and ornate (as is every room in this hotel). it's difficult to describe the decor but it's kind of modern baroque mixed with strong shabby chic elements. definitely a very maximalist design style. the bed has a sort of fancy window curtain mounted on the wall behind it to evoke a canopy but said curtain doesn't really jut out to envelop the bed like an ordinary canopy would -- if that makes sense. there is a small chandelier on the ceiling. Phoebe is curled up on the bed looking very comfy like she belongs there

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jul 3

i wanted to offer something to show my thanks, so i've been making lil photo manips for donors where i paste my really cute cat in front of the Eiffel Tower or wherever you want her to go :)

text at the top reads "How it works". under that is a cutout of my black cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) against a semi-transparent background inside of a polaroid frame. text on polaroid frame reads "Your location here" with a smiley face next to it. next to the polaroid text reads "For every $2+ donation, I will Photoshop her into any location you want! Just put your request in the message box on Ko-fi when sending your donation. If you don't have a specific request, I'll pick out a location. The photo edits will be posted on my Bluesky and Ko-fi."

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jul 2

y'all have NO idea the amount of pain i've gone through fitting all the text on that ko-fi link preview while keeping it legible goodbye cruel world i'm gonna go eat half my leftover birthday cake

screenshot of Rosamund Pike as the character Amy Dunne from the movie Gone Girl drinking a glass of wine while crying but also wearing kind of a tense expression. she's in the middle of venting to someone off-screen and making a dramatic fist-clenching gesture

here's one for the folks who didn't send a Phoebe travel location preference with their donation :) Thank y'all for sending Phoebe to Radium Springs, Georgia! She had a great time and gained a few superpowers from the radioactive spring water🩷 (original source for photo is @bonnicula.bsky.social )

photo edit where i pasted my black kitty Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) into a photo taken by esteemed bluesky poster and vtuber BonniculaLive when she was on a trip to Radium Springs, Georgia. Phoebe is sitting very properly and politely on a stone retaining wall gazing into the camera, her yellow eyes bright and friendly. the wall is next to a spring surrounded by cypress trees. text overlay on the image reads "Wish You Were Here!"

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jun 28

....i regret to inform you that i already did

photo edit where i pasted my small black cat Phoebe onto bluesky poster and esteemed vtuber BonniculaLive's photo she took on her trip to Radium Springs, Georgia. Phoebe is loafing on the bed in front of Bonni. there is a rainbow gradient text overlay that reads "Greetings From Radium Springs". Bonnicula's original photo is of a hotel room from the perspective of the person lying in bed, a pile of crumpled sweaty clothes on the bed. Her legs are bare and spread, bulge in her purple underwear visible as she tries to cool in the air conditioner

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jun 28

here's one for the folks who didn't send a Phoebe travel location preference with their donation :) Thank y'all for sending Phoebe to the Pyramids of Giza! She had a great time🩷

a photo edit where i pasted my black kitty Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) over a photo of the Pyramids of Giza. text over the image reads "Greetings from the Jewel of the Nile". there is an overlay behind the text consisting of glowing green beams of light emanating from a fixed point in the center of the text, suggestive of magic and mysticism

the original photo of Phoebe i used for this photostop edit was taken during one of those rare occasions where she's well-lit (oh the struggle of black cats) and the afternoon sunlight revealed the beautiful red-brown tones in her black fur. she is looking at the camera, her yellow eyes gazing deep into the viewer's soul. there is a certain seriousness about her expression

Astro🪐@astrobride· Jun 26

here's one for the folks who didn't send a Phoebe travel location preference with their donation :) Thank y'all for sending Phoebe to a hotel that her mom has really fond memories of. She had a great time loafing and people-watching 🩷

some more pictures of my baby

my small black cat (who is missing half of her right ear ) named Phoebe is curled up on a green blanket, her yellow-green eyes alert and trained on the TV screen (off-camera) where the Artemis II splashdown was playing

my small black cat (who is missing half of her right ear) named Phoebe is curled up on a light blue blanket with white stars and other celestial doodles. the blanket is draped over and tucked into her circular fluffy white kitty bed, forming a nice soft Phoebe nest. it is a perfect fit. she's looking up at the camera wearing just about the sweetest, most innocent expression you can imagine

photo of my black cat named Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear). she is standing on a white cat bed with black spots looking at the camera. she is next to a fluffy stuffed black cat with yellow eyes. the stuffed cat is almost the same size as she is (Phoebe is a very small cat) and is NOT missing half of its right ear.
