I Have One Crazy Conspiracy Theory That I 100% Believe In, And It's It's That:

Dont make me show you why its called a "murder" of crows

You have been warned

I called him Nico

I made this character design for a "texture" themed assignment and I really like how the colors turned out (though I'm still not sure about the background).

Also this was my first time using blending modes in krita. No idea why it took me so long to get to it, but it's seriously life changing

Ive been soooo obsessed with ispods lately. I loved them for as long as i remember and I already knew people kept them as pets but only recently concidered keeping them myself. The last straw was playing this game called Bugaboo where you take care of little bugs in a tamagochi and the firt pet is an isopod and i was like: thats it. I cant wait any longer. Im getting pet isopds.Ive already ordered a terrarium for them and have been doing tons of research on how to take care of them I JUST CAN`T WAIT.

Also there is like a WHOLE community of people who breed them and select different morphs (wouldnt be able to afford any of the rare onse though lol) it`s so fascinating!

Behold! The one and only: WIZARD FROG or... FROG WIZARD or somethinh idk... Anyway, this fine lad is all finished and ready to do his wizarding!

It’s been two years since I was forced to leave my home in Kharkiv, my dear city where I had lived all my life. 💔 Russia, the terrorist state that it is, decided that we Ukrainians don’t deserve to live in peace in our own land. I dream of returning to Kharkiv and living there without the fear of being killed in my own bed. 🙏🏻

If you're reading this, know that your support can make a difference in our fight against this brutal war. Stand with Ukraine, donate, and remember that Russia's actions make it a terrorist state.

Honestly... here is a frog i found when rummaging through my krita files. Not only does he have a sword, but is also giving you thumbs up. I forgot i even drew him, and look...he`s not even bothered. He just chilling, saying "You got this bro!"

BUG OF THE DAY: SCORPION FLY

suggested by lovely @sugarcoatedcricket

What bug should i draw next? I already have some Oak treehoppers in mind.

This was a bit of a very quick drawing and i didn`t have time to really perfect it, but i just HAD to put some time aside to draw these cool insects.

The wings were a bit of an experiment because i wanted to capture the cool stripes some of these guys have. I kinda like how this turned out but i will have to touch it up a bit if i ever turn it into a sticker

He has been labeled

And the new succulent brother, that i need a name for! One that fits his character

Shitting on Russians is as good a reason as any. Truth is, there really are a shit TONN of bots, and there are straight up troll farms in russia (but I feel ai might take like half their jobs in the future, if not already. Poor fucks).

So this theory comes way less from "this specific post/thing/conspiracy comes from bots"

and way more from "if I was a russian troll, I would 100% be do this" and "if Russian bots are spamming shit everywhere all at once, they probably are spamming conspiracy theories cus GOSH is it a fertile ground for запудрити ватнікам і бумерам мізки"

I have one crazy conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in, and it's it's that:

Russia created and spread most of those "flat earth" "lizard people" "harmful vaccines" "fluorite water" "5G" conspiracies (And hundreds of other "trust no one, everything's fake"-type conspiracies) through the sheer amount of bots that they have, on Facebook and other social media. I genuinely believe it's the Russian propaganda machine that started and fueled those "Flat Earth"- type conspiracies, either as an experiment to see how susceptible people are to propaganda, or as a means of making people not trust scientist or anyone around them and start arguing that "Maybe 2+2 isn't 4? Maybe we should question things like that?".

I genuinely,

in my heart of hearts,

believe,

that the "Flat Earth" theory started with two russian trolls betting on a bottle of vodka and a 500 rubles after one of them said:

"I could convince those bitches that the earth is flat if I wanted to!"

And the other said:

"Nah, Vasia. You're drunk. They may be stupid but not that stupid"

And the first said:

"You don't believe me? *hiccups* I'll show ya! I bet my whole next month's salary to you!"

That is my conspiracy theory. That it's Russia who mostly creates crazy conspiracy theories about world control, mind control and distrust... in order to control people, influence their minds and make them distrust everything.
