Omfg memory unlocked!! Thanks to TikTok I remembered that Limber Louie exists!

Loved playing with this vibrant haired genderless being 💜 Please tell me some of you had these too??

…It just occurred to me while writing that. I grew up & BECAME the vibrant haired genderless being 🤯
A promotional photograph of a vibrantly coloured Limber Louie marionette puppet; a popular kids toy from the 90’s. There is a stark white backdrop behind it from being photographed in a studio. The white, cross shaped control stick floats above its head, connecting Louie to each end of the cross with four transparent wires. Two of the wires connect to each side of its head and one wire each connected to its two feet. It has two long legs with oval feet that meet a small spherical body, from which a long neck and equally round head sticks out the top of. Similar to a flamingo or emu but without arms, wings or a beak. The fur from head to toe is a rainbow gradient in colour; moving through the colours pink, purple, green yellow and orange in blocks, returning to pink after orange to start the colour loop again. Did anyone else have one of these as a kid in the 90’s?

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate this dragon leg I drew. I am *not* an artist by any means but I used to doodle dragons as a teenager. Looks like there’s still some hidden muscle memory in me.
Digital drawing of a dragons hind leg stood on a slope. The foot has three clawed toes. The colours are flat shades of purple for the leg and the slope.

You may not continue scrolling until you have booped the snoot, plis & thamks you 🧡
A photograph of a ginger coloured Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, whose head is resting atop a plush green duvet looking directly at the camera. The photo is taken at night with the background darkened, and the dogs face illuminated by a soft light that highlights a white stripe running down the bridge of his nose from his forehead towards a pink, pig-like nose that is black around the edges. Beady dark brown eyes stare into your soul begging for attention. His name is Mako. Pronounced: May-Co

WIP of some Toller/NSDTR handpaws. Just need to sew the liner, get all the halves together & a cuff on the ends, then they’ll be done!

Looking at maybe selling em if anyone’s interested? Tiny sewing error on one bean but it’s covered by fur anyways. What’s a reasonable price do we think?

#fursuit
A desk covered in sewing supplies with a Brother brand sewing machine in the back. In front of the sewing machine lies 4 partially made pieces of fursuit handpaws. There are two palms and two back of the hands overlapping each other. The fingers of the handpaws are white with pale pink toebeans, and the arms are a chestnut brown/orange colour.

Finished hair/fringe commission for @woofles.bsky.social!

I really love how this turned out! And no I’m not at all biased that the hair colour matches my own 👀💜

I might have forgot that mine’s an alpha when trying this 😅

Gib the tiny cwasson!
A screenshot from the game Pokemon Legends Z-A. It is night time. The player character is sitting on an orange cushioned bench at a wooden coffee table in front of a white and orange food truck. On the table is a paper coffee cup and a plate with a croissant on it. Next to the table stands a huge pink centipede Pokémon called Scolipede. Scolipede is looking down at the player character with big yellow eyes.

Considering #fursuit making as a career path. Starting small with handpaws/tails?

What are folks genuine expectations on price for someone inexperienced?

I made these feetpaws for @storm.vtube.social once, hand sewn & made w/ pillow stuffing instead of foam

What think #furries ?

Finally completed Ascent 7 on Peak with the help of @cielothebehemoth.bsky.social

We are now officially scoutmasters!
A screenshot of the player character giving a scout salute in the video game Peak. They have purple skin with inverse eyes (white pupils and black sclera) and are slyly smirking. They wear brown leather shoes, white knee high socks, blue shorts, a beige button down shirt and a golden sash covered in scout badges.

As a freshly redundant derg from the games industry turning to making something of my own, Undertale continues to be a beacon for what can be achieved by indie devs. It fuels my determination & I hope that what I make may be even half as inspiring as Undertale (and Deltarune!) continues to be 💜
A white lined text box against a black background with a comment by ThatPurpleDerg. Dergs pixel drawn, black and white self portrait sits in the top left corner of the text box; a side profile of a dragon’s face with a beaked muzzle and three sets of split up horns. The text reads: “Undertale showed me a world of possibilities for game design. That a single person CAN make something successful without huge amounts of industry experience. It gave me HOPE.”

The shadow clones in today’s challenge stream made a perfect meme template during this cutscene. Chat and I were cracking up!!

So have fun and fill in the blanks 😂

Above his right shoulder, a purple skinned “shadow” variant of Mario is leaping towards him, arms outstretched with a plain expression but ready to attack. A screenshot from Super Mario Odyssey.

Been trying to get to the peak solo all day and I finally did it! Got so many of the other badges I wanted too 🥲 Now I can sleep.... until next time when I drag my friends up with me 😈
A screenshot of the end game screen from the game Peak. The title across a gold banner says "YOU PEAKED", underneath is the 'scouting report' which shows ThatPurpleDerg climbed 1920 meters in 1 hour 58 minutes and 2 seconds. A purple line climbs from the lower left corner to the upper right showing Dergs journey on their climb. At the bottom of the report are 7 badges that Derg collected on the journey. From left to right the badges have the following images on them. A red and white mushroom, a golden trumpet, a rope tied in a bowline knot, a bloue mountain with a white peak, a lone wolf howling at the moon, a round and green face making a kissy face, and lastly a fried egg.

Stream schedule on pause until further notice. Any streams will be when I have the energy due to my wife & I both being told we're being made redundant.

If anyone knows anyone looking for a level/game designer or a software engineer let us know. We'd love to not lose the house we bought last year.
An image of a Discord post that says the following: "An important update... My stream schedule for the near future is going on hold, with streams only happening if I'm in the correct headspace for it on whatever day (if at all) that happens. An additional heads up that I may be even more vacant from this Discord, and in other peoples Twitch streams as a whole for a little while. Some of you already know some of what's been going on, but for wider clarity on the above I wanted to let you all know what's happening. A week ago Bex was made aware that she is at risk of redundancy, and today I got the same news from my employer... We are not ok. We're in the bs stages of 'do you have any questions for us' and 'we can maybe perhaps find you another role but no guarantees lol' and being told that it's 'business as usual' for the time being, like either of us can work soundly knowing that we might both be out of a job in a month or two and may lose the house... What little energy we had for anything is now completely shot. So if we don't respond to messages, publicly, in DM's or in group chats, please understand that we aren't intentionally ignoring anyone and no one has done anything wrong... We just aren't ok right now Love you all"

No streams from me this week due to shit news that just got dropped on us that is going to significantly affect us financially... No subs coming from me or @cielothebehemoth.bsky.social for a while I'm afraid. I'm sorry friends.

Might still stream over on Ash's channel later if the mood is right 💜
A screenshot of a Discord post which reads: "Hey @Talons I'm really sorry, but this week somehow got worse... Just had some shitter of a news drop been laid on us. I'm cancelling the SMO stream on Thursday outright. I'm also cancelling the Pokémon Sun and Moon SoulLink stream I usually do with Ash today as I am not in the headspace for taking on the E4 in a Nuzlocke and don't want our hard work to potentially be wasted if I make bad calls. However, we might still stream over on Ash's channel, we might instead play some more of the 4 way Quetzal run that we've been doing with Ash and Lily. Bex and I are gonna take lunchtime to get some food and reflect on what's happened and make a decision later. Will keep everyone posted. In addition, the news is hitting us financially, so we are both cancelling all subs on Twitch in the meantime while we work things out. I'm really sorry to those we support, but every penny is going to matter for a while... We love you all Purple Heart Emoji"
