Once I’m well...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Thurs 11/27/2025 - Morpeko It's Thanksgiving day here in the US; a holiday predicated on lies about 'peaceful relations' with the indigenous peoples of North America that the colonists violently killed and stole land from - in our household it's...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Mon 11/24/25 - Ralts Random number generation led me here - I have no attachment to this thing whatsoever.
