Traci Shepard @tashepard@witches.town

Hello Mastodon. I'm an illustrator with a focus on animals and monsters from folklore, and I just restarted my art blog on that same subject. Today was the first post in over a year but if you're new there's over 400 entries in the archive to check out.

My day job is killing me and living and transition expenses are piling up so I'm going to try and have a go at making a living off this art stuff, so have the standard Patreon link

Watching an old Besties video and Griffin referring to the recipient of a Secret Santa gift as "the Secret Child" delights me to no end.

I guess it's not really contempt for the show so much as contempt for Grammer and annoyance with how it's become an ironic punchline in the Space Jam/Smash Mouth vein.

Apparently Winston Duke got into acting because of Fraiser, so my contempt for that show has eased a little. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/02/winston-duke-black-panther-mbaku-interview

What are you weirdos doing out in the middle of the night

I've gotten a fair share of Legendary items on each character so far, but other than Telebra's magic healing pants none of their added effects have been particularly useful but I just got one for my mage that completely cancels out the Temporal Deplacement debuff from Time Warp, even if I'm not the one that casts it. :o

Not adding anything new to this conversation but love how different Make Me Feel and Django Jane are from each other while still being recognizably from the same artist.

And dropping both a Prince-tinged bisexual anthem and a rap about WOC and black excellence on the same day is a fuckin' Move.

From a few aisles over,
Child, screaming in fear: WHAT IS THAT?!
Parent, laughing: It's a Teddy Ruxpin.
Child: THROW IT AWAYYY

PKMN Ultra SMoon got rid of the Lillie scene on Exeggutor Island and I am Lillie-livid >:c

Took nearly a goddamn year but finally getting my mother to move on switching rooms with me so I'm not basically trapped in the bedroom from 10pm to sunrise.

Isabelle and Pauline.

That's as far as I've gotten in this thought process.

Bring back the Elite Beat Agents, we need them now more than ever

Also the video for Biscuit is delightfully weird. Just my read but it feels like a subversion of "sexy" iconography rather than actually trying to be sexy. Or if it is trying it fails spectacularly and that is itself an enjoyable mess.

Never actually saw that new Rocky Horror and some people had valid complaints about it generally and her segment in particular but I dug Ivy Levan's version of Science Fiction Double Feature. Really made me miss working in a theater.

That's a weird sentence. https://witches.town/media/-CpS-o9sTlqFLKD-qTk

Oh hey so I never actually really listened to Blunt's You're Beautiful or the lyrics before, that's sure a creepy-ass song to have been as popular as it was.

Well I think I have a prompt for my next art stream. 🐇🐊

The Easter bunny being reptilian would actually account for the whole bunny egg thing...

I know he's supposed to be looking to the left but uncolored they just look like reptilian slit-eyes
