Spotify Wrapped called me OLD......

this is what I get for listening to a lot of Fallout music lol
A screenshot of the Spotify Wrapped summary displaying a photo of Michael Salvatori, my top artist of 2025. Apparently I listened to his music for over 42 hours lol (I like Destiny and Halo music, what can I say) A screenshot from Spotify Wrapped of my "listening age" which is listed as 84 years old, written in bold pink numbers.

"We use AI to streamline the customer service process and enhance your experience." is not a sentence I ever wanted to hear while trying to appeal a denied MRI for a patient, and yet here we are. 🤡 No wonder I've gotten fucking nowhere appealing this...

I want to bash skulls.

Got up to use the bathroom and the sky was putting on a show~ :o

It's barely visible to the naked eye, but photos make it much brighter ✨️

Here's the version without the dramatic shadow, to really show off that mug 😌
The same portrait as above but without the dramatic shadow obscuring his face. A mostly unassuming man with pale skin and dark brownish-red hair looks directly at the viewer. His most striking feature is his eyes; golden irises with black sclera. He is dressed in a black overcoat with a high decorative collar and cuffs, a black vest, and red undershirt all adorned with silver buttons. He is smiling, but feels untrustworthy.

The progenitor himself, Archimedes 😌
(aka: a bastard making bastard and Ares' father)

I was told he showed up recently in some visions for my former D&D party and was inspired to draw his smarmy ass... I have a complicated relationship with this man lmao

A digital portrait of a man with slicked back dark hair and pale skin holding a white chess piece between his clawed fingers. He is partially obscured by shadow, but his golden eyes glow as he looks directly at the viewer. He has a conniving expression and feels untrustworthy...

I'm house/Tokki sitting for my folks and it was so foggy this morning I couldn't see their neighbor's house across the street lmao it's starting to burn off now but it was totally blinding this morning 😶‍🌫️

I'm just glad it's Saturday and I didn't have to drive to work in it lol
A photo from my parents' porch from just outside their door. The lake is still covered in fog, though it is not nearly as dense as a few hours ago. The houses and trees across the lake are obscured by the fog, as are the mountains in the distance.

QRP with your fanart
A fanart portrait of Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen. He has long dark hair partially pulled back in a bun, a stitched scar across his forehead, medium-sized gauge earrings in his ears, and wears a dark purple traditional kimono with a golden sash. He is pictured from the shoulders up and has a smug facial expression.

Went back earlier this morning before the rain for a NOT solo adventure 🐱

Bellara's first big outing!!
She was not thrilled at first and immediately floofed up when taken out of her carrier, but she relaxed a bit the more we explored. Was not a fan of the wet grass on her paws, though...
A photo of a young cat amongst colorful fallen leaves. There are visible trees in the background that have an array of color to their leaves, mostly yellows and orange. The cat has tabby fur and golden-brown eyes. Her harness and leash are black, her collar is Halloween themed with a fish-shaped tag that says "Bellara." She stands in an attentive stance with her ears pointed forward, looking at something behind the viewer off camera.

Solo adventure w/ my coffee this morning 🌄

[ #photography #nature ]
Early morning view of Watauga Lake. The lakeshore is rocky and there are mountains on the far side of the lake. Low hanging mist clings to the mountaints and the trees are beginning to change colors. A different view of Watauga Lake. The sun is hidden behind fog and mountain as mist rises off the water. A third view of Watauga Lake. In the middle of the lake is Clifford Island (a campsite) and behind that more mountains. In the distance, there is a fishing boat with two fishermen in it. The morning mist had mostly burnt off by this point.

Finished the ref for my spooky goth vampire boy, Edgar~ 👉✨️🌕

I've only played him once so far but he is v fun to play and also a bitch 💅 but that's just because he's jaded.

A digital reference containing two portraits and a full-body piece of OP's 5e player character: Edgar, a level 3 half-elf vampire lunar sorcerer ✨️ The two portraits are of the same character at two different ages: 14 y/o and 21 y/o. The younger portrait has shaggy short dark hair, pale purple skin, and silver eyes. His eyes are sunken and cheeks are gaunt from malnourishment. The older portrait has the same pale purple skin and silver eyes, but his dark hair is pulled back in a ponytail out of his face. His eyes are still sunken and his cheeks are still gaunt. The full-body piece showcases his outfit consisting of a long skirt, dark form-fitting top, and a cloak with a high collar and sleeves that go to his knuckles. He is holding an umbrella to shield himself from the light. With his free hand he is pointing away from his body and silvery magic sparkles come from his fingertip.

It's become a running joke in the campaign I'm in that my character, Tracey, looks constipated whenever he tries to lie 😂 he has NO charisma and the only reason he's good at schmoozing at all is because of a persuasion bonus from an item he got playing cards with a Goddess.

Tracey's "lying face" ⬇️
My DM commissioned pieces from @/luxris on Tumblr of the campaign characters based on silly emojis and this is Tracey's lying face lol He has tan skin, dark hair, and green scars with a sweaty, nervous expression on his face. The only way he could be more obviously lying is if his nose grew like Pinocchio.

Tracey got some new tattoos and a nice tan while at camp with Domino, so I drew a new VTT portrait for him. 👀✨️

(hello yes I'm not dead just fighting my mental health and v low on spoons lately but today was nice and relaxing, so art was made)

A digital portrait from the shoulders up of my Pathfinder player character, Tracey. He is shirtless, his tan skin is even darker with light tan lines from his shirt visible. He has dark, shaggy brown hair and bright green eyes, looking off to the right. There are green scars visible on his shoulders, neck, forehead, and chest as well as new fine-line magical tattoos around his eyes. The sky behind him is bright blue with light clouds and Tracey is smiling, looking content.

Especially when this is the wife in question 🥵
Art from 2022 of a blue tiefling named Lillia with short wavy hair styles in a bob. Her horns curl from the side of her head like rams horns. Her eyes are a bright magenta and she has an intense expression on her face. She is wearing a low-cut white dress and a golden cuff necklace around her neck. She stands out against the light orange abstract background.

Progress 😌✨️🌕

His father was a moon elf and his mother was a human, so he ended up a half-elf lunar sorcerer lol

Next step is to add his scars 😈

A new work in progress screenshot from ProCreate of a pair of digital portraits of my new lunar sorcerer player character, Edgar. He has pale purple-y skin, silver eyes, and dark hair. In the image on the right, he has earrings in his ears depicting different moon phases. The portrait on the left is Edgar at 14 years old when he was first turned into a vampire spawn, the portrait on the right is him at 21 years old and what he looks like when wearing a magical ring that alters his appearance.

Had to pivot ideas, playing a half-elf vampire spawn now who was turned as a young teen over 50 years ago and now wears a magical ring to make himself look older!

His name is Edgar.

idk what it is but scrolling thru my feed this morning has got me in my feelings...

there are artists on here that I've followed for years on various platforms and knowing where they started when I first followed them watching progress they've made and where they are now just makes my heart so full

My Pathfinder PC Tracey's first encounter with the Voidfish and the moment that gifted him his magic 👀✨️

[ #ocsky #artsky #ttrpg #ttrpgart #pathfinder #pf2e #art #myart ]
A digital illustration of my Pathfinder PC, Tracey, as a teenager underwater and floating above the gargantuan eye of a fish. Tracey's back is to the viewer as he floats with his hands up in shock at what he is seeing beneath him. The giant eye of this fish has what appears to be a green moon as its pupil, surrounded by a dark iris with star-like lights shimmering through it. The fish is a dark green in color and sumilar sparkles shine on its scales. This image depicts the first time Tracey touched the "time stream" and encountered what is known as the Voidfish. The lake where he lived as a teen was a time-locked area. One night, he and a few friends were out late swimming and messing around near the lake and Tracey tripped off the dock and fell in, crashing through what he *thought* was a reflection of the moon... Only to see this beneath the surface of Lake Halcyon! 👁

Also *that* Gideon is the same as *this* Gideon, btw! I like putting my characters through the meat grinder 👉👈

A digital Pride themed portrait from 2023 of my rogue, Gideon, as an adult. His olive skin is now grey and sallow from undeath, half his face rotted away exposing muscle and bone underneath. He has a scar over his lip and another partially obscured by the hood he wears. His eyes are still the same bright green they've always been.

Saw a post that was like "the violent leap from 2019 to 2025" that is now lost in the ether but it made me curious so--

Literally one of the first things I ever drew on my iPad in 2019 vs. the most recent in 2025 lol "violent leap" is right 🫣

[ #artsky #ocsky #ttrpg #ttrpgart #dragonage #myart ]
ART FROM 2019 A digital flat-color family portrait of my rogue, Gideon (front left), and his parents. He was from a noble family at one point, he wanted to be just like his Father: A knight for his church serving the one true God-- Until Gideon watched him indifferently turn a village into martyrs. He ran away shortly after that... The family is wearing black, red, and gold, the colors of the church. Gideon is almost the spitting image of his Father, with olive skin, green eyes, and brown hair. His mother has fairer skin, light blue eyes, and dark brown hair. ART FROM 2025 A digital portrait of my Grey Warden OC, Illan. Dramatic red lighting shines across his face, his one visible eye seeming to glow red. There are dark visible veins beneath his pale skin and his long, dark hair is tucked behind his ear with a white streak coming from his bangs. He was blighted at 16 and has been a Warden almost the entire time since. He was thought dead for nearly two days after his Joining, scared the pants off the mortician preparing his body.
