Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".
The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.
If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.

last update!
updated some chara profile descriptions to have a bit more info!! also, caved and made my card not even try to fit the seafoam v. stardust theme lmaoo
hyped for the fight!!!
i’ll be periodically adding to this as i, well, do my prep for what will be my third art fight! there’s a number of things i need to do:
make references for the ocs that will be on my page (francis, maddox, cecie, iarmys, inanna, and ayelet (ayelet is @boxxed-upkr ‘s)) (three are done, but i may redo two of them..)
make icons for the above characters
make lil chibis of the above charas to sit on my home profile page
after teams are announced, make borders for this year’s attack icons
hunt down a person to do an 800 level revenge chain with, to try to be in the top 3 longest chains of the year
if possible, revamp the toyhouse pages of the public characters there
strikedown = completed
————
scene hitlist // revenge chain hitlist will be a long one!! aiming to be one of the top three longest chainers this year!
art fight profile: https://artfight.net/~caustic-caffeine
team: tbd! but i don’t mind friendly fires!
my characters: aside from one, all are humanoids! they exist within a dark fantasy/steampunk setting with healthy helpings of the occult, macabre, and otherwise potentially unsettling ✨on each of their profiles they have links to toyhouse pages with art storage and more info about their lore! references are a work in progress and a few characters i have hidden right now may be unhidden before art fight starts
who i’ll attack: in order of most likely to least likely! mutuals > characters on my hitlists > characters with themes i enjoy > beginner artists/people new to art fight/people with high attack ratios (hmu if that applies to you!) > people who attacked me first > bookmarks > everyone else
other notes: check out my socials for examples of my art! i occasionally dabble in animation, both frame by frame and tweening. if it means anything, i’m an autistic lgbtq+ disabled metalhead 😎. more about me on my site
examples of art range from late 2023 up to a few days ago
I also designed a new character who I’ll be playing in a TTRPG. This character is separate from my worldbuilding (though perhaps I’ll integrate them into my world in the future).
Meet Maeve, the porcelain doll automation!
So I made a post recently about having hope for the future and so many people were talking about how they have felt hopeless about the future so here is another reminder that the world will not end with us. There's always a way. Maybe it's just the stubborn "where there's a will there's a way" attitude I was raised with talking or maybe it's because this has all happened before. the world has felt like it was ending so many times in so many centuries and for so many people but it doesn't. This isn't the end, these are signs of a new beginning: failed attempts at criminalising transness are admissions of hope from politicians who know that we will all be seen one day, workers on strike signal that we will no longer stand for the maltreatment of labourers. You know that saying-things have to get worse before they get better? That's what's happening right now. Hope is a weapon here's another reminder not to lay it down. Change is coming
if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions
assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit
it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it
