Commissions Are Open, DM me

Gatsby // They-Them // Bsky: DefiantDrills // DM me if you are interested in commissioning me

Made an interest form for my spicy middle aged man yaoi comic and got 3 responses, which is 3 more than I expected so I’m on cloud god damn nine rn.

Idk I just feel as though my original worth is worthless and that I’m only useful as a bespoke commissions artist so the idea that 3 people would even be vaguely interested in my comic makes me feel warm.

Here’s the elevator pitch to the comic’s premise, I hope you see the vision.

God I love sitting down and getting to draw the same milk toast, vanilla AF yaoi of my blorbos over and over and over and over and-

I simply will never get tired of it.

I appreciate all the ice cream metaphors in the notifs but this just happened and I’m gonna roast myself over it. I know I just said I’ll never get tired of drawing the same basic ass yaoi over and over and over but I didn’t think I was so basic as to Draw The Same Image Twice Within a Week Of Each Other and not realize it…

People have asked me if I ever get sick of my tiny roster of blorbos and it’s like No, I Literally Do Not.

Gotta say, I definitely appreciate folks tuning into my periodic Neopets Dot Com lore updates regarding my favorite but also the wettest Ogrin in all of Neopia

I'm probably one of like 3 people who still plays Neopets on this website but I need to discuss this image- A rundown: there's been a fuck ton of discourse over the Seasonal Attack Pea (SAP for short) item being introduced into the neopets trading economy via random chance through the yearly advent calendar they do.

The Seasonal Attack Pea (from my understanding as someone who's never engaged with the Battledome mechanic until like 3 weeks ago despite having played Neopets for 18 of my 28 years on planet Earth) is one of the single best items in the game, and turbo expensive. We're talking 9 figures worth of neopoints. Maybe 10. It's initial distribution also made it so ludicrously sparse. Only 100 existed and it was released in 2002. This thing is a *grail* item in Neopets, is what I'm saying. Things like getting Invincible to drop or a full odds shiny pokemon are child's play videogame achievements compared to getting any of the Attack Peas. Dec 1 rolls around and suddenly players are reporting in staggering numbers that they got Seasonal Attack Peas from the advent calendar and all hell breaks loose. The fat cat neopets players are all mad that their items are being devalued to hell event after event and the proletariat masses are excited to see the neopets economy in shambles so they can finally own grail items, it's chaos and I personally love it. There's conspiracies on reddit about it that I can barely parse and don't care to get into. Anyway, so I just logged in to get my free stuff, do my dailies, drink my 4:30 am soda pop and see Dr. Who Mr. Orion O. Ophiuchus the Shadow Ogrin in *shambles* talking about how we need to stop the Advent Calendar and it's making it seem like he's baring the brunt of the Seasonal Attack Pea discourse and I'm HOWLING right now. My man literally just got introduced as a character to this game in like... May of this year??? And now it looks like he's being pinned to the cross of the Seasonal Attack Pea discourse- Like I doubt this was intentional but I choose to believe Orion did an oopsy and is The One reason for the chaotic mass redistribution of wealth across Neopets.

POV: Orion tries to give your neopet a Seasonal Attack Pea

MY MAN LOST EVERYTHING IN A DIVORCE, IS NOW BEING HAUNTED BY A CURSED LYRE APPARENTLY AND REINA WON'T EVEN THROW HIM A BONE??? What is Neopets team doing to this poor pathetic man!!!

hi, me again, back with the final (for now) update on Orion's life falling apart.

Apparently someone on the Neopets team really likes World of Warcraft cuz he's being haunted by visions of C'thun fucking up the space time continuum.

C'thun showing up in Neopets in 2023 was not on my bingo card but it probably should have been...

Anyway Queen Fyora also showed up and told his ass to go to bed so at least he'll finally get some post divorce sleep after the Seasonal Attack Pea debacle...i mean, after being haunted by C'thun for weeks on end! (Also in case you're wondering why I keep saying he's divorced, notice the ring-)

It’s been close to a year but I’m back with another update on the trials and tribulations of Mr Orion O Ophiuchus.

Apparently he read some Jhudora x Illusen fanfic on AO3 and got possessed.

Link me the fic dude, I wanna sneak a peak.

The wedding ring(?) is back by the way?? But only when possessed by the haunted lyre?? Probably just a continuity error on the artist’s part but I choose to believe there’s some kind of scandal here.

Lastly I just need yall to know his fancy, green coat and slicked back hair never returned. He’s just been disheveled ever since, save for getting his glasses fixed and washing his clothes. Letting the pocketwatch just dangle is unhinged though, I used to wear one before the proliferation of smart watches and they are decently heavy-

Okay I'm back to yell about this wet ass Ogrin again my brother in christ, you spent like a year and some change trying to resolve the whole being haunted by a cursed instrument only to GO FIND ANOTHER ONE. You idiot, you fool, you dumbass.

I'm sick as a dog and barely functional as I type but neopets dot com just handled me these items......

UHHHH idk, I needed a pince nez wearable for my uni also named Orion so this is actually very convenient for me, I don't think our haunted maestro is long for this world-
