thought I’d practice furry art for commission reasons and also to get more familiar with drawing furries in general, so I drew Cecil Palmer as a four armed, three eyed desert coyote :)

you can buy me a ko-fi coffee here, commission a doodle for a tip of $1+, or even commission a larger piece!

[ID: a pink toned illustration of Cecil from the waist up, above his written dialogue. The background is purple, with a textured pattern behind Cecil. He is a desert coyote with reddish toned fur, four arms, and a large white eye in the middle of his forehead. His muzzle is greying, and he has othr grey fur and whiskers on his eyebrows and knuckles. He’s wearing a striped purple and blue neckscarf with a white eye-shaped pin securing it, and a lacy white bralette. He’s also wearing a variety of chunky colorful bracelets, and has teal gauged ears with blue hoop earrings secured into them. He’s speaking on air into a microphone and twirling a rotary cord between his fingers of one paw, and gesturing with the other three. He has a very pleased expression and smile, and announces: “And as you know listeners, my husband Carlos, the scientist, recently won the “most attractive scientist in Night Vale” contest, sponsored and judged by yours truly. Congratulations bugaboo~” /End ID]

And meanwhile, in the same universe:

[ID: a greyscale doodle of anthro Cecil popping into the NVCR bathroom, where a small but entirely human, entirely nude Khoshekh floats grumpily in the air. Cecil cheerfully waves to him and says “Hiiii Khoshekh!” /End ID]

being a girl and hitting puberty is so traumatic. you go from being a genderless little free thing to being hit with shaving and makeup and growing breasts and skincare and menstruation and suddenly being sexualised when like a few years ago you could take your shirt off to play in the stream and trade yugioh cards with the boys and come home covered in mud and not even think about it. and then you spend years hating being a girl and hating everything puberty did to you and wishing you could be a boy or be completely genderless again and it takes you Many years to come to terms with yourself Or you simply try to Lean In to everything and do makeup tutorials on YouTube and claim it’s for fun. like how can this be treated as normal

They’re also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and they’re working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.

They’ve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. It’s very cool. Right now they’re testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.

So its that easy huh

Of course it is

Actually, this isn’t “easy” and is huge news. You see, Lego is absolutely meticulous about their quality control. Their standards for manufacturing are stupidly high, as are their safety requirements. You know that distinctive “click” when you pop two Lego bricks apart? They engineered that. That sound is so distinctive that it can be used to tell genuine Lego bricks from counterfeits and it’s a sound that would be based on shape and material.

Furthermore, one of the hard requirements for a Lego brick is that it must be compatible with any other Lego brick. If I buy a set today and pull a set from the 1980s? Those bricks would fit together perfectly. This requires a huge amount of precision engineering and controls on manufacturing quality. (I can’t remember the source, but I’ve at least heard that once the brick molds wear to a certain point, they’re pulled from the line and either melted down or turned into construction material for Lego HQ. Point being, no one is getting their hands on a worn Lego mold)

Recycled and non-petroleum plastics are different from other plastic. The chemistry is different. The timing and process to use them is different. This has been a reason why more companies haven’t moved to them, because there’s a drop in quality for material (so they claim).

What Lego just did is completely obliterate that argument. The corporation with some of the strictest quality control requirements for plastic just kicked the basic foundation of the “bad quality” argument out from under it, because if they feel confident enough to guarantee the same experience as using a brick from over 40 years ago, if they are confident enough that they can meet their own metrics at a huge industrial scale….

Nobody else has any excuse.
