An otter, but also a part-time professional gamemaster somehow? Beware of puns.

He/Him.

Shoutout to the time they were marketing for the Lilo & Stitch live action movie.
A post from one of Disney's Tiktok accounts where they have taken footage of Lilo and Stitch and combined it with the "omg they were roommates meme" that is used for romantic and/or sexual partners.

Happy Godzilla Day, everyone! This delightful lizard's left a big impression on plenty of people, but thanks to this image I can confidently say I'm one of his biggest fans!
Art by tribdinosaur. Godzilla is lifted off his feet and into an even larger otter's arms and a big hug as they both tower over a tiny cityscape. Both are grinning.

A screenshot from Infinity War, where Thanos and Gamora have come to a planet in search of the Soul Stone and found Red Skull guarding it as punishment for his hubris. He comments "I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess." A hastily cropped Brelly face has been edited over Red Skull's face in the above image.

Confession time. I totally misread the pose and your antler headdress thingy and thought that Hush was entirely perched on your shoulders with scrawny limbs like a maned wolf.

Please see Exhibit A below.
The drawing from Brelly, but edited with extra lines. The antlers from the top of Brelly's headdress are now depicted as the lines of Hush's arms and legs.

Behold, some lovely animals!

Brelly for the next several hours before one of the handlers finally confirms that it's her, she's the good girl:

See a kobold, post a kobold!

Here's my latest big Pathfinder character, a cleric dedicated to the ancient elemental deity of fire and the sun. Her magic comes from a mixture of divine prayer and arcane ancestry in her draconic blood.
A reference image for a kobold named Ulbi. She has black scales on most of her body with pale blue along her lower jaw, down her neck and front, and then down the underside of her tail, as well as the palms of her hands and soles of her feet. The rest of her hands and feet are covered in a vibrant blue, while darker blue spots line her tail, chest, thighs, and mark her upper face. Three rows of horns decorate her forehead and she has cheek frills with pale blue tips. Her pupils are slitted, while her irises are bright yellow and her sclera are a darker blue. The flesh in her tear ducts and her open mouth are both strong shades of purple. Two large wings sprout from her back with black digits and a fading blue membrane, tipped with bony spikes like her horns. Art from nicopossum, the top poster in this thread, featuring a blue-black kobold inside an oversized hoodie she stole from her lizardfolk boyfriend. The lizardfolk says "Wait, when'd you get that?" while her kobold boyfriend replies "Don't look at me! I didn't help her this time..."

Happy Fullmetal Alchemist Day, by the way!

I was trying to remember what this reminded me of, and I just dug this out of the files Piedunk gave me!

Please, have a plateful! This kobold chef made plenty for everyone!

Don't mind me, just clearing a picture from my hard drive.
Screenshot from Half Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware, a series by wayneradiotv on Youtube. Several scientists and a guard stand in a hallway, and one scientist is saying "I think it's good that he died!"

Sure, let's do the fun Pokémon ranking list.

I wish I could rate Red and Blue better, but having replayed it via the Virtual Console rerelease on 3DS, the controls are just so archaic and wonky (to say nothing of how busted Psychic was).
A tier list for the mainline Pokémon games. S-tier includes Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Legends Arceus. A-tier includes Fire Red and Leaf Green, XD, and Sun and Moon. B-tier includes Yellow, Gold and Silver, Crystal, and Heart Gold and Soul Silver. C-tier includes Colosseum, Black and White, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. D-tier includes Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. E-tier includes Red and Blue, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. F-tier includes Sword and Shield. Never played includes Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Black 2 and White 2, X and Y, Scarlet and Violet, and the as-yet-unreleased Legends Z-A.

Judge me on (some of) my favorite wild animals.
The North American River Otter (lontra canadensis). Like other aquatic mammals, an otter's whiskers allow it to detect vibrations in order to better hunt prey underwater. The African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus). The largest canine in Africa and the only surviving member of the Lycaon genus. These canines are some of the most successful pack hunters on the planet thanks to their highly social behaviors. The Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). This big cat is built for speed, from its skinny structure to expanded nasal passages to the semi-retractable claws and long tail used for traction and maneuvering. The Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus). Their bright blue tails turn grey as they reach adulthood, which along with their stripes allows them to blend in for camouflage against both predators and prey.

I didn't know they made a movie about @ghostskunk.bsky.social.

It's the one part that never misses for me with Borderlands games. The different manufacturer styles and how they get more refined/ornate the rarer the gun is, the coloration, etc.
The Torgue Swordsplosion, a shotgun that shoots swords that explode into more swords. The Maliwan Destructo Spinner, an SMG that randomly alternates between two elemental damage types while firing. The Dahl Pistol AAA, a shock pistol that fires bursts of projectiles in the shape of an A. The Maliwan Volcano, an incendiary sniper rifle. The pictured variant has a bayonet roughly the size of a full sword with a glowing-hot blade edge.

Sure, why not? Maybe some people want to hear silly otter opinions.
