But regardless, yeah it's WILD that the focus is on excusing him rather than protecting/reconciling with Michael and Delroy, because GOD that was heartbreaking to watch. Soo much bullshit from the BAFTA organizers and production.
Also as other people with tourettes have mentioned, he's not incapable of apologizing??? And if he knows he has that particular word as a reoccuring tic and he already slipped with it earlier in the night, he could have excused himself completely or taken more breaks during the show.
Three self-portrait drawings done in a petroglyphic style. The first is of Ronnie squating while wearing glasses, a cropped hoodie, wide-leg pants, and slippers. The second is a cheeky back-view nude where Ronnie has their wavy hair down. The third is of Ronnie looking annoyed while wearing a tank top, necklace, stripped wide-leg pants, and sneakers. They have their hair in a half-up bun, half-down style in drawings one and three. There is also a signature of their initials done in the Tainonaíki script in the bottom right corner.
😪☺️😒
You're killin it Amy!!! This year is gonna rock for you, I feel it! ❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend checking out Casa Areyto for anyone interested in learning more about the movement to reconstruct and reestablish the Taíno language for modern use in the Caribbean and throughout the diaspora! I've been taking the (free!) language course, and it's been so easy and engaging to use.
A digitally illustrated self-portrait of the artist, Ronnie, and their dog, Goose. Done in a style inspired by Taíno petroglyphs. The artist has also written their names in the Tainonaíki script on the illustration.
Self-portrait practice in the vein of Taíno petroglyphs. Also an excuse to practice writing in the Tainonaíki script.
A digital illustration reminiscent of a vintage food advertisement from the 19050's. The tagline reads "Make dinner a smash with Monster Mash!", as a young werewolf, lake monster, chupacabra, and zombie gather around a dinner table with a casserole dish placed on top. The dish is filled with a dark pink "mash" with grubs, eyeballs, and a zombie hand giving a thumbs-up poking out from the center of the dish. The lower left text has the artist credits: Illustration by Ronnie Vazquez. Represented by Linda Camacho at Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency. There is a logo with the caption "Brought to you by Jekyll & Hyde Foods. Flavors for every side of you." The bottom right caption reads: "Brew up a spine-tingling twist on this ghoulish classic with mashed brains, braised gizzards, and fire-roasted eyeballs. Top it off with a crumbly blend of bone powder and dried grubs for a delightful crust bursting with flavor! Jekyll & Hyde's Monster Mash is sure to be a graveyard smash!"

October's was: Monster Mash

Kelly Fitzpatrick's colors have brought a life to my lineart the likes of which I never thought possible. Teamwork really DO make that dream work!!!
I have two weeks left on GN # 2 and I'm truly frothing at the bit to start posting even a FRACTION of what I've been working on for the past 2 years. I love this book man!!! Everyone's brought their fuckin A Game on it and I just want to show it off already!!!
I was into Naruto and Pandora Hearts and Vampire Knight and shit, but Homestuck was the fandom where I started making serious friendships and started considering art school and becoming a professional artist. It was a wild (and embarassing) time but it was a good time.
the butterfly effect of how Homestuck being my first major fandom has lead to me becoming a professional comic artist is fucking wild to me. I've been in online spaces and fandoms for like...20+ years, but Homestuck truly was the fandom that got the ball rolling first iirc.
not me blacking out on the toilet typing out a mild spice rant on homogenization of aesthetics and character design all because i was riding the high of being able to sketch out Gamzee accurately from memory after 16 years, only pulling up ref because I couldn't remember what color his pants were
if there has ever been a time to embrace your freakhood and stubbornly refuse to conform to whatever the Influencer Market is trying to push on you, it's now. Embrace the cringe. Evolve with it. Survive and Thrive with it. honk honk.
people wanna wail about the CalArts Bean Mouth and yet we're approaching the homogenization of beauty standards at a meteoric rate to where eventually there is just The Kims and The Chrises gracing our screens and wandering our streets.
this isn't a serious rant, but truly. isn't it embarassing for Hollywood that an online artist was able to make an iconic group of characters in the most simplified way possible for efficiency and convenience that everyone can remember the characters years later meanwhile I can't tell Chrises apart?
the amount of times I'll be watching a show and can't remember who the fuck is who because they somehow managed to cast people who exclusively look like they're related or clones of each other. give me a short king. give me a dude with fucked up teeth. give me a guy prematurely balding, damn.
you're telling me you can't give your white boys distinct haircuts???? different colored suits/uniforms???? hell, different personalities and desires???? i'll bite you
points to pixelated trolls when calling out other media for not making their army cast of Average White Men distinct enough for audiences to remember who the fuck is who: Andrew Hussie made a diverse cast in a cave!!!! With a bucket of scraps!!!
real talk???? homestuck had fantastic character design, from the fact that despite having a Universal Base Shape, each sillhouette is distinct enough you can tell who is who in a blacked-out line-up, but even their speech/typing styles were unique.
it's been (checks watch) 16 years. can you believe it.

Digital illustration of two characters from the novel, From The Belly, by Emmett Nahil. Essex, on the left is looking down tenderly at Isaiah, craddling his face with his hands. Essex has a short beard and long black, curly hair, and has scars over his neck and arms. Isaiah has chin-length shaggy brown hair and short-length goatee.
back at it again at the Kwispy Kweme with Tragic Nautical Gays!!!
-----
Essex & Isaiah, from @emnays.bsky.social's novel #FromTheBelly
D*sney HATES to see him coming
and once Essex learns how to un-doom Isaiah from the narrative, the wedding is back on
once I figure out how to draw Essex as the hottest man who is somehow also seemingly fresh from the grave, it's over for you bitches
he truly is!!! he went through The Horrors and yet he persisted!!!
If you liked Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest but wished it was gayer and had more nautically-cursed body horror, then you'll love #FromTheBelly
Close-up headshots of a character design for Isaiah Chase, from the novel "From The Belly". He has tanned skin, freckles, shaggy chin-length hair, and a barely grown goatee.
I imagined Isaiah lookin' like the nautically-doomed lovechild of Robert Pattison, Dev Patel, and David Iacono thrown into the gayest, twunkiest little blender your nearest Home Goods ever did see
