Frozen Beach With Glowing Coconuts. Yum! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝🌴❄️

A little something I made for my patrons last year c:

in like 5-8 years when gen alpha starts really making fun of gen z no one is allowed to complain because like 99% of people do nothing but treat those kids like shit

my little drwaings in the @daycarefriendpickup magma, in order

i've never drawn like that before o.o complete line art, colors, i even tried shadows for the first time.

i think my art gradually got better(maybe not in the way it looks, idk, i mean the drawing process and dynamism) as i gained more and more confidence. the first one i straight up had a panic attack cus i've never drawn around other people before, it took.. a really long time to finish... the last one i quickly sketched in a sleep deprived delirium less than 10 minutes before i passed out, i think maybe i'm getting too confident now. cant wait for the next magma, i hope to be more interactive and silly with others next time :3

also i did draw two little eggs cus why not

it's honestly nuts to me that critical infrastructure literally everywhere went down because everyone is dependent on windows and instead of questioning whether we should be letting one single company handle literally the vast majority of global technological infrastructure, we're pointing and laughing at a subcontracted company for pushing a bad update and potentially ruining themselves

like yall linux has been here for decades. it's stable. the bank I used to work for is having zero outage on their critical systems because they had the foresight to migrate away from windows-only infrastructure years ago whereas some other institutions literally cannot process debit card transactions right now.

global windows dependence is a massive risk and this WILL happen again if something isn't done to address it. one company should not be able to brick our global infrastructure.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Can you sleep with your eyes open? Fish can! In fact, most fish can’t close their eyes at all, as they don’t have eyelids. The only bony fish that can close its eyes are the puffer fish!
