I have not! I’m only a permanent resident (greencard) in the US and no citizen yet.
I’ve got out and grabbed some free hot chocolate from 7/11 today, tho!
Democracy, fuck yeah!
But yeh people, if you can vote, please do! Even if you hate all presidential candidates, there are still a lot of important issues on the ballot. Especially here in California! Vote what you believe in!
rat I just, I cant, the human edit is just too great, moar, fucking moar of this, make this a regular thing, and some missionary too
Ah, thank you so much! I’m glad you like it! I’m not too sure how to make a POV shot of missionary, but I’ll try something! Maybe as another YCH auction? :D
who's the light blue pony penetrating Applejack in your most recent post?
Open to your interpretation! It’s supposed to be an anonymous pony, so you can put yourself in it’s place or imagine whoever you like to be.
I did sample the color from Rainbow Dash’s coat, tho. As a small throwback to the one ship that made me start drawing. But it’s just an easter egg.
That’s why the color of the cock isn’t blue either. I personally like to imagine it’s a random farmhand that is helping her out. But in my head the “real” picture is the human edit anyways, haha.
If you’d like to imagine that it’s futa Rainbow Dash or Rainbow Dash with a realistic looking strap on, please do! But it can really be anyone you want and there’s no “correct” answer to your question! And I really hope nobody is tagging it Appledash on Derpibooru either. I originally had a red coat for the penetrating pony since that worked well color wise, but I was afraid people were instantly gonna assume it’s Big Mac, haha.
ACTUALLY THAT’S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION AS WELL. Just like bunnies and carrots. They don’t really like it more than any other food. And mice actually kinda hate cheese even. Rats are more neutral towards it.
Aww. I think we have pretty good cheese. Not all of it of course. But, you know, there's bad brands and such everywhere. 'American' Cheese, the slice stuff calling itself that, is legitimately pretty bad though. For some reason it works on sandwiches- but that's it. Still, I think we've got decent cheddar, swiss, colby-jack, provolone, mozzarella, and parmesan available in most places. Maybe try various brands or a nice deli?
Oh yeh, I know! There’s some pretty good cheese over here, but it will never come close to stuff from back home for me personally. I prefer italian Parmesan and Mozzarella, but the American brands are pretty good as well! Same for Brie, nothing beats the real deal, but some American brands are very good. I do like American Provolone a lot, though! And Colby-Jack is nice. Sadly not a big fan of Cheddar, and that stuff is everywhere. :( “Cheese flavor” seems to be synonymous with Cheddar, haha. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a high quality brand of Cheddar tho, so my perception is probably warped in that regard.
Fun fact, what you guys call “Swiss cheese” is actually only one (and in my eyes not even the best, by far) of several hugely popular varieties of cheeses from Switzerland. If you ever get the chance, try Gruyere! It’s my absolute favorite cheese from Switzerland. Safeway/Vons stocks real imported Gruyere, sadly it’s criminally expensive.
Also secret cheese pro tip lifehack: Try combining cheese with jam. It’s super tasty!
Anyways, time for sleep! Night guys, it was fun talking about random stuff with you. I hope I didn’t annoy anyone.
Have you ever had American chocolate? Like Hershey's milk chocolate?
I don’t remember if I ever specifically had Hershey’s. I’m not supposed to eat sugar, so I try to stay away. I do remember having some Reese’s and other american chocolate products, tho!
They didn’t quite taste like what we had back home. But I see some imported Swiss and German (theirs is good too!) chocolate brands in grocery stores here in the US all the time! Lindt is pretty nice. Or Milka. In my opinion as someone who doesn’t really eat sweets!
Also the cheese here is mostly a sad excuse for fermented milk :( And real imported Swiss or Italian cheese costs an arm and a leg. But otherwise food is pretty amazing here in the US. Love the variety and all the different cuisines. So many options!
Well they’re both Swedish and mercy primarily speaks german(from what people tell me). Did you happen to run into Riens VA? See who does a better impression xP
Mercy is Swiss. Switzerland and Sweden aren’t the same thing, even tho it seems to be a very common misconception for some reason!
Switzerland is small, located south of Germany, has a big white plus on a red square as a flag, is famous for their neutrality. For cheese, chocolate, clocks. Ricola and Toblerone. Also snow and the Alps and CERN. Also bank accounts. Swiss people speak either German, Italian, French or Retoromanic.
Sweden is big, north of Europe, has a yellow cross on a blue flag, famous for Ikea, ABBA, Volvo and socialist policies. Also hot blonde women. They speak Swedish.
The more you know!
Now I feel stupid =_=
Haha, don’t worry. Like I said, it’s a super common misconception sadly. The more people that are educated the better!
I would love to know where the misconception comes from, tho. I always wondered.

Torb is Swedish, completely different language and different part of the world. :P I guess I kinda sound like Mercy or Reinhardt just with a stronger accent?
Back home from my very first SDCC! It was absolutely amazing and super exhausting!
I met the mane six cast (minus Tabitha) and talked a tiny bit with Ashleigh. She didn’t remember me of course, but she commented on my accent and aaah, she’s awesome. <3
Also randomly ran into Robert Picardo and shook his hand! Loved the EMH in Voyager and he was super nice. Got a bunch of great merch, lots of free stuff and bought some nice art as well.
A super gorgeous D.Va print was one of them and also an adorable Applejack.
I’ll take some pic of my office soon, once I finish hanging up all the new art! I also attended some panels, I’m super excited for a lot of new shows and games now! And I met some of my favorite webcomic artists.
I don’t think I’ve ever walked that much (my phone says 50 miles) while simultaneously somehow spending most of my time in a line for something!
Anyways, I just wanted to give a quick update! If you follow me on Twitter, you saw all my fangasming over the con already. I’m back drawing again now, I’ll try to stream tomorrow at around noon as well as on Friday to catch up on missed time! As usual, I’m almost done with a bunch of art and can hopefully post some stuff very soon.
Also I didn’t log in to tumblr once during those past 7 days, if I missed something awesome, please let me know!
Aaaaah, someone auto-bought the piece. I’m completely overwhelmed by the support and how fast and big those bids came in. Thank you so much! I’m so humbled to see people think my art is worth spending money on. It means so much to me. Thank you!
If I have an idea for a hot picture like this again, I’ll probably make another YCH auction like this. After I’m done with my current workload and got all of my personal ideas out! And next time I’ll deactivate the autobuy, so it’s fairer for everyone. To be honest, I didn’t think anyone would autobuy that!
Anyways, thanks everyone for the interest, you’ll be able to see the finished piece soon! And sorry if you were interested but couldn’t get it.
Pokémon Go is insane! I was hanging out in a park with about a 100 other people in the middle of the night, catching Pokémon. At one point someone yelled “There’s a Scythor here!” and everyone came running towards it. It was amazing!
Also there are so many players everywhere. Drop a lure at a Pokestop and within minutes a small group of people gathered!
It’s a lot of fun and the community is great, it’s awesome to meet so many people who are caught in the same craziness.
Also, go team Valor!
(New art is coming really soon, I promise! I’m hoping tomorrow. I’m so sorry for being slow.)
Sadly I couldn’t make it to Bronycon myself, but if you’re there, AphexAngel’s Table (#508) is selling a bunch of my buttons and 2 of my prints! Go check it out!
4th of July is always kinda special to me, because yesterday has been the third anniversary of my move to the States. It has been an absolutely amazing time thus far. Big thanks to all of you for supporting my art and liking what I draw!
I have a bunch of almost done art ready to show you guys in the next few days! Stay tuned and thanks for being patient. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much art lately, I’ve been working on multiple projects simultaneously! So progress has been a bit slower than usual.
Anyways! I hope you guys have a great day and enjoy some tasty food, American or not!
Hey Rat. I'm trying to prove a point to a friend of mine. Do you still have that first clop picture you drew? The one that looks like it's on a post-it note and drawn in pencil? If you do could you share it with me so I can show it to him?
My very first (digital) clop pictures were either one of those following two, they’re both dated for February 11th 2012!
Anonymous fanart I drew for @haiku-oezu! Rainbow Dash cosplaying as the OC Honey Dip!
I wish I still knew the context of this, I think it had something to do with a conversation on Skype. But it’s definitely something I never posted publicly before.
And I’m pretty sure this here was my very first explicit picture I colored:
