still thinking about how night my room can look at night. totally took this while lying on the floor. #photography

A cozy warm picture of the corner of a room with built-in shelves. A lamp is turned on over to the left side of the frame, and provides a warm yellow glow to the shot. Twinkle lights shine from the ceiling, and plants are visible atop a bamboo shell in front of a window.

got some VERY cool photos out at the lake the other night!! #photography

A picture taken by the rocky edge of a lack surrounded by forested hills. The sky is rich with color due to the sunset, with bright orange and warm-colored clouds against the fading pale blue and pink sky. Tree branches (firs?) frame the top half of the frame. The vibrancy of the sky is reflected across the smooth lake water.

A very similar picture to previous, just with a slightly different angle that shows less tree branches and more of the rocky shore. (This part of the lake isn’t for swimming, as it’s very close to a manmade dam, so the rocks are there to keep people from getting to far into the water or boating up to shore here.)

A nighttime shot of the lake with an orange moon coming up over the distant wooded shore. The shot is pretty dark and surprisingly not grainy; this is one of the first nighttime shots I’ve ever taken and liked! The clouds glow in the light of the moon, and a streak of orange light reflects across the lake.

A slightly brighter nighttime picture, but still very crispy. The sky appears more orangey-gray here, and the glow cast on the clouds is more prominent.

oof, didn’t mean to ghost this account, have some pictures of a nice like I visited as recompense

A wide-paned picture of a midwestern lake at sunset, in which the sun is far behind the viewer and dipping below the horizon, casting a bright and pale pink light on the clouds across the lake's breadth. Some of the clouds are a bit purple, and the sky is a pale blue.

The lake is reflecting the colors of the sky, and the hills on the opposite bank are still orange-lit by the sun. Part of a marina is visible, and private docks surrounded by trees. The photographer is set back about form the shore beneath a fir tree.

A similar picture to previous, by the light has changed and the sun has just set, meaning everything is coated in a dimmer blue tone. The lake is still serene.

guys look at my parents’ foster fail. she’s adorable and she knows it, istg

A picture of a Merle miniature Australian Shepherd dramatically flopped on her back between a white woman jn a Buc-ee’s teeshirt and a couch pillow. The dog is hilariously contorted, with her snout facing the camera, her upper torso turned towards my mom with one paw on her shoulder, and her lower hips facing the camera, paws splayed. She’s is giving the camera (me) a very absurd look.

sorry, I’m not a politician or an economist or anything so I could be wrong, but… I don’t think that’s a valid reason to increase tariffs…

Also here’s what my helmet looked like in 2023, compared to what it looked like when I sanded it down to get rid of barely-there print lines they would’ve gotten me for during apps 😭 Part of me wishes I had just left it ngl…

A picture of a painted Mandlaorian helmet. The front plate , cheek plates, and center piece of the dome are painted black, while most of the dome and the angled sections of the cheeks are bright (BRIGHT) orange. There are blue lines and black squiggles added to the dome and sorta of the cheeks and visor plate. The visor itself is golden.

A picture of the same helmet two years later, relatives and almost fully free of print lines, paint runs, and other superficial issues. The helmet is mostly black at this angle, but the angled cheek plates are still orange. There are more steady blue lines in the rim of the visor, markings beside the mandibles, and other details throughout the design. There is also a pleasant texture to the bucket now, like a powder coating.

Another angle of the updated helmet, where you can see the silver ear caps and part of the silver back design.

Another angle of the helmet, this time from the back. The black paint on the dome slopes down to a point, and the rest of the back is silver with black squiggles reminiscent of the original 2023 design.

✨QRP with your pride flags✨ I'm also possibly only into men, but idk for sure. and I'm definitely not a *binary* trans man, but it's also Complicated™, hence the NB flag remains AND the trans flag is here lol Happy Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈

The demisexual flag, a pride flag with a black triangle on the left side, a purple strip down the middle, white up top, and gray on the bottom. Similar in color to the Asexual flag, and companion design to the demiromantic flag.

The transgender pride flag, which is comprised of 5 stripes: blue on the top and bottom, white in the middle, and pink between white and blue.

The nonbinary pride flag, comprised of four stripes. In order from top to bottom: yellow, white, purple, and black.

this little shit will meow and glare at me all day until I sit in my chair or get in bed to take a nap, and he can smush his little face against some sort of me or another. I love him so, so much omg #cat #catsofbluesky

A picture of a black cat curled up in a person’s lap. His face is smushed against their arm, and his front paws are tucked up under him.

I’VE BEEN FORGIVEN #cats

A picture of a black cdt with yellow eyes sitting indignantly on the stomach of a white nonbinary person in a grey cutoff tee. The person (cat cushion) is grinning at the camera.

A picture of the same black cat, except he’s moved. He more in his person’s lap, the camera has flipped around, and he’s in an orange blanket.

A very similar picture to the one previous, except the cat is accepting head scratches from his cushion (person).

he screamed the entire time he was in the carrier, jump-scared my vet by sitting her by the door, shat in his carrier when they put him back in, and then scowled at me with bitter hatred when we got home because I pinned him to give him his flea meds.

A picture of a black car with golden eyes and a bell collar sitting in a green countertop in a vet office room. He’s sitting beneath a roll of paper towels, looking off into the distance (towards the window). He is currently a loaf.

he doesn’t know he’s going to the vet in an hour 🙃 (it’s just for his annual lol) #cat #catsofbsky

A picture of a black cat sitting in front of a cracked window, sunshine pouring in. He’s backed by black curtains and part of the trans pride flag. He is sitting on a bedsheet patterned with leaves. He has golden eyes and an orange and blue collar with a bell.

In this picture, he’s looking towards the upper right corner of the frame.

Another picture of the same black cat sitting in front of a cracked window, sunshine pouring in. He’s backed by black curtains and part of the trans pride flag. He is sitting on a bedsheet patterned with leaves. He has golden eyes and an orange and blue collar with a bell, and here you can clearly see its sushi pattern.

In this picture, he’s looking out the window with his head between the blackout curtains.

not a justifiable excuse, bro

A screenshot of a text group chat in which I last said “Ignoring the f out of that ai video. Anyway, I'll check for the bees in the morning, then see if I can call tomorrow” and the housemate responds with “Oh come on. It's the right amount of cheesy.”

🏳️‍🌈✨ ripplesticks | (he/they)@rip-in-the-woods· Feb 9

he’s clearly also having a grand old time #cat

A horizontal picture of a large black cat sprawled across the edge of a bed. A wood floor and small rug are visible over the edge. The bedsheets have a cute graphic leaf print. The cat is on his side, one paw curled forward against his chest and the other r hanging over the bed, both back feet kicked out at a funny angle. His head is also turns funny, and you can see his little teeths!

Another angle of the same cat, more from the front this time. You can better see his face and the one paw hanging off the bed. He’s thoroughly enjoying his mid morning doze.

It JUST BARELY doesn’t fit, too. I have it sitting beneath my card wallet thing here and you can just see the edge of the laminate and paper the whole way around. Infuriating, actually.

A picture of one of those metal card-carrying wallets with a laminated paper card beneath it, just barely too big to fit normally in the card slot.

An image of the same setup as previous, with the laminate card beneath the card carrier, but it’s more clear just how annoyingly SLIGHTLY oversized this card is.

Can you tell it’s a pain in my ass?

yeah. it’s aaaaaaaallll AI. (“manuscript” update for Fractal Alliances: Finale, I guess lmao) (FT my alt text from the previous skeet)

Another picture of a computer screen which shows the end of the same paragraph and the bottom of the document frame, which displays that this is page 459 of 460, and that the document contains 158,670 words and 907,089 characters.

Tootaally AI, lmao (sarcasm)

A screenshot of my alt text from the last skeet because not everyone reads the alt text and it had some good stuff in it. Transcript:

“A picture of a computer screen showing a partial section of text in which an em dash separates the phrase.

A common thing happening in workplaces and colleges at present is the accusation of cheating/plagiarism being cast on students who use proper punctuation (especially em dashes) because it "is a clear indicator of Al usage." When... actually... it's just correct fucking grammar.

It cracks me up but also makes me a bit angry; l'd be one of those students getting accused of something like that if I were still in school because I'm (shocker) an blown-out-of-the-water GOOD ENGLISH/WRITING STUDENT and know how to use functions of correct grammar. I'd be so pissed Imao.”

oh my GOD, look at him!!! #cats #catpics #catsofbluesky

A picture of the same black cat as before stretched out on the same patchwork blanket. This time, he’s rolled onto his side a bit and has his head twisted around, and a beam of sunlight has fallen perfectly across the frame, featuring a little rainbow effect. God, I love lens flare.

my sweet boy, snoozing while I try to get some writing in before painting over all that old green on the walls 💛 #cat #catsofbluesky

A picture of a black cat gently curled up atop of a t-shirt patchwork blanket (a quilted blanket made with t-shirt graphics). The sun falls over him and the blanket in a golden haze.

The same picture as the last, basically, but taken at a wider angle. You can see the walls, my still-packed boxes, another blanket, my work bag, and a step ladder in the background.

Bluesky requiring ID-based age verification was NOT on my bingo card. Wow guys, what the actual fuck.

A screenshot of the KWS age verification screen which says: “Choose a method to verify that you are an adult. By selecting a verification method below, you confirm that you have read KWS' Privacy Policy. We will let Bluesky Social know once you've verified as an adult.”

There is a small drop-down line that reads “What do you do with my information?”

Below that, there are 3 buttons with options to verify your age and identity: your SSN, a credit card, or an ID scan.

CAT TAX CAT TAX CAT TAX #cats

a picture of a black cat with yellow eyes laying on brown carpet. He looks rather unimpressed.

A picture of the same black cat sitting behind a window that leads out into a sun room. The window is covered in Halloween gel clings. The cat is staring intently at the camera, attempting to illicit treats from the viewer.

one more post that's only a big suggestive but is DEFINITELY not normal and I want to tease my own characters about being idiots for a bit. ft. Nathan Shasear accidentally cursed by a wannabe love-goddess (read: abusive, actual witch) and a bewildered Serra Tyrannis. #art #sketch #digitalart

A red monochrome digital sketch featuring two characters, Nathan Shasear and Serra Tyrannis.

Nathan is in a cape and mission gear (gear belt, hip strap with knives, knee pads, good boots) and Tyrannis is in their usal getup (denim vest, necklace, fingerless gloves, thigh holster with their 2 Death Scythes, knee pads, boots).

Nathan, hyped up on a curse that makes him both desperate and more expressive, has pushed Serra up onto a workbench mid-mission and is standing between their legs, probably telling them how hot they are. Serra, who has a hard time getting him to be this forward in private let alone ON A MISSION TO STOP A LADY WITH LOVE-POTIONS AND CURSES, is staring at him in shock (...but is not totally adverse to the prospect...)

REPOST because I forgot labels😅 something something... oral fixation... #sketches #nsfw #suggestive

A cropped picture from a sketchbook page that technically has 2 sketches. The top one is kind of bad and sloppy but shows Ev pinned to a solid surface with Fin between theirs legs, his face pressed to their neck.

The one below it shows Ev holding back their own hair as they finish up a messy blow job for him. Their eyes are closed, they're going at it, they're having fun.

Another point for Ev's oral fixation, but they're barely visible here. This pencil sketch shows Talis's back. He's sitting at the edge of a bed, legs spread as Ev goes down on him. They have one hand around his waist and the other under one of his legs, fingers gently overlapping with his.

Talis's word bubble is basically him babbling and saying "oh sweet gods, Ev." Ev's is a little heart.

A series of (more experimental) pencil sketches this time focused on Fin. Starting on the left, there's one of him sitting in a hidden person's lap (Ev) as he rides their cock.

The second sketch, in the middle, is from a different scenario in which he has Ev's hand in his hair, pushing his head back so he has to look up. He has cum on his face and dripping off his tongue, and his tongue ring is visible for once. His shoulders are covered in scales and he is flushed from his ears to his shoulders. Ev is telling him "Good, babe <3"

The other 2 sketches are of Fin's somewhat complicated anatomy. I could make a WHOLE POST about what transition looks like for trans people in Tartarus, the magical and medical variants... but all you need to know is Fin is functionally intersex, which comes with a host of hormonal issues but can be handy in this case - he has a dick and has retained part of his female reproductive system (namely his front hole). TLDR: The top sketch shows him ejaculating and the second shows him getting pounded.

There is a note above this about pain, itching, and libido - this is irrelevant to the context of this sketch page other than the fact that it refers to Complusory Regeneration Cycles in Tartaruns. I could make ANOTER post about that, but tl;dr hormonal flux causes libidio to skyrocket sometimes. That's it.

(Fuck, how do I end simple descriptions of sex? I'm used to writing sex SCENES not image descriptions lmao. Biggest hurdle of this backlog series.)

🏳️‍🌈✨ ripplesticks | (he/they)@rip-in-the-woods· Jul 30

a couple of older Fin and Ev sketches I never got to post fully anywhere prior. second one is more implicit than explicit lol #art #sketches #nsfw

A digital sketch against a red-orange background. It depicts Ev and Fin laying prone, Ev leaning over Fin as they finger him and brush the ridges of his cock (non-human anatomy, let's go!). They're kissing him as well, and he has his hand pressed to their neck, tenderly holding them in.

This one was heavily referenced.

A much older, messier digital sketch of the same characters, cell-shaded and against an off-white background. Ev is sitting in Fin's lap for this one, his pants around his ankles while they are completely nude. They're really just holding one another, with Ev twisted around to look the other way while Fin looks at them, unimpressed, and tells them "babe, it's fine, I promise."

This was part of a larger sketch page and the implication is that one of their occasional thirds is off in another part of the room (Talis, Axel, Alkaline, I don't recall the original intent). Ev is distracted, at any rate.

Peep a scribble of Fin's old tattoo before I redesigned it. Also, Ev's hair is up in a bun and Fin's is on fire.

all the Ev and Talis stuff I have currently, thrown into one post. 1 heavily referenced, 2 from my sketchbook that I did for fun (and like a bit more...? I feel like a lot of the NSFW I draw without refs is the stuff I enjoy more) #art #nsfw #sketches
