Wow, that was super tame and not TMI at all, haha! If you wanna know TMI stuff, you can send me an ask and I’ll compile the questions later tonight and answer everything at once!
I hope that wasn’t super boring.
Small real life update: My wife and I got in a car accident. We’re both shaken up, but okay. Thankfully we weren’t hurt. My neck feels kinda stiff and her foot is hurting a bit, but it’s nothing we can’t deal with. Our car on the other hand didn’t fare as well, it looks pretty bad and we couldn’t get it to start. Highway patrol had to help pushing it out of the way and they called a tow truck for us. We’re still waiting to hear back from the insurance/mechanic about if it’s totalled or not. Here’s hoping we can get it repaired! Our poor car, we just got it a little bit over a year ago :( But yeh, apparently my wife made sure to get great insurance, so no matter what, we should be okay! That’s a big load off my mind.
Anyways, there’s a lot going on right now, we had to get a rental car because my wife needs to be able to drive for her business and things are understandably crazy right now. I probably won’t be available for the next few days, sorry about that!
But yeh, what a crazy experience, it all still feels so surreal, I was never involved in a car accident before. And I never saw so many first responders in person before. Please stay safe if you’re driving, it really doesn’t take a lot.
Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know, since I’ve been awfully quiet in general the last few days and it’ll continue to be quiet for a bit. I’ve been working hard on an upcoming comic and other pictures and I hope to have something for you guys soon! Thanks for the patience.
My wife and I went whale watching yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we encountered a huge school of about 700 dolphins. It was absolutely amazing, they surrounded the boat and were super playful and everything. The youngest ones didn’t quite know how to jump properly yet, so they’d just flail around in the air. The adult ones were super graceful. They’re such cuties! I think I have to draw some dolphin porn again soon.
We also saw some hunchback whales and other interesting animals, but eh, they don’t compare to dolphins!
Anyways, I have some pony porn to post soon! Sorry again for being slow right now. There’s a lot going on in my life. Busy with the move, my best friend from Germany is visiting the states, and now the anniversary weekend and everything. And I just watched yesterday’s episode, it was cute! I liked seeing Rarity and Rainbow Dash as friends! And Rarity’s boutique in Canterlot seems to be doing well, that was nice to see.

Why do so many people think drawing porn is something shameful and something people break friendships (or even family relationships) up over it? Pretty much all of my real life friends know that I draw porn in some way or form, sure most don’t know details and I wouldn’t show them my stuff, but normal people usually don’t really care about something like that and aren’t judgemental assholes about it.
I’m not worried about someone I know finding my porn, because if someone really has issues with it (besides some light hearted teasing) they wouldn’t be someone I want to be friends with anyways. I don’t have room for toxic people in my life.
People I know in real life have stumbled upon my porn blog before. Besides a bit of awkward smiling immediately after they asked me if it’s really me, absolutely nothing changed. After all, if you really find my porn that means you’re looking for it. And especially if you make the connection that I am the artist. That means that you read enough of my random posts about my personal life to make the connection to my real life persona and were a little bit more invested into it than just a random glance on a random website. And if that’s the case you have no justification for being judgemental anyways.
And if my future kids really find my porn and disown me over that, then I did a horrible job raising them.
Edit, courtesy of LIMW:
Does not apply to workplace/professional situations, obviously! Also not if you live with your parents and they would have massive issues with it.
I was in San Francisco this morning and found this place. Took me a while to realize it’s a lobster claw and not a vagina.
>Being a cat owner.
Ugh, woke up this morning to one of my cats (the asshole one) shredding my left arm to pieces.
More to the story and bloody picture after the break, so trigger warning or something.

Aaah, I know, right? Funnily enough you’re not the first one who’s telling me this exact same thing after they watched Jurassic World. :D It’s nice to see that Blue is getting so much love.
Coincidentally, check out what arrived in the mail a few moments ago, as a belated birthday present from my amazing wife. Now I’ll be able to recreate the drawing of Blue I did a while ago in Lego!
I’ll definitely draw her again, but it might be a while! I have lots of pony projects in the pipeline!
This one’s a bit shorter!
![Oh god, that turned out super long, so after the break.
[[MORE]]1) Daww, she hugged me while she was naked, so thanks for this question!
2) I did before, once! As a birthday present for kevinsano, it should be somewhere on Derpibooru. I do plan on...](https://66.media.tumblr.com/3f5cbb5e7119ad060268bcebae653e4b/tumblr_ns6rxozC3O1ro7861o2_500.png)

My friend told me, that this beverage is supposed to be a very American experience, so I tried to finish my transformation into a true American on this 4th of July. Immediately regretted my decision. It’s absolutely horrible. Send help.

Haha, thanks! I’m actually pretty liberal/libertarian. I like the whole spirit of freedom and opportunity here in America. And coincidentally I’m just on my way to go shooting to celebrate the 4th!
My outlook on life definitely has changed since moving here exactly 2 years ago. I’m still at least partially Swiss at heart, but I’d also definitely call where I life now home. It’s not too different, but different enough. I couldn’t put it in words tho. There definitely was a small culture shock at first, but I’d like to think I embrace a lot of American culture now (I mean the culture here is so vast and different, but in general). There are still some things that are new to me or surprise me ever once in a while, haha.
I’m super fascinated that you call me red-blooded American, and I feel it’s a compliment. But I wonder what made you say that?
Haha sorry, that was a lot more politics than I have ever talked about on here.
Fellow immigrant here. You know, I read a comment on Reddit once that I think really summarizes Americans for the most part and their attitude towards foreigners who move here. I don’t have it saved which is a fuckin’ tragedy right now, but it was something like:
“This is the awesome thing about America. In other countries, you’re always the outsider - you may be liked, you may be respected, but nobody sees you as part of their culture; you’re always the foreigner.
In America, nobody gives a shit. You move here, you embrace this country and consider yourself an american? Fuck, come over for a beer and some 4th of July fireworks. If you have a desire to be a part of the culture of this nation, that’s all you need.”
It’s been my experience, too. Of course it’s not the same for everyone, but I think that comment summarizes it pretty decently.
I agree! I’ve never been met with anything but kindness, patience and openness. (Well there are some assholes out there, but definitely nothing that I remember) A lot of people ask me where I’m from because of my accent or tell me they like my accent, and they’re always interested to hear my story and everything. Nobody ever questioned my American-ness or anything.
So yeh! Happy 4th to everybody, and happy 2-years-since-immigration-anniversary to me!
Or like some people like to say; America Fuck Yeah! (I still don’t agree with some American politics, but overall the country and everybody living in it is pretty awesome)
Sorry for all the text post spam!
I went shooting Sporting Clays for the first time this past weekend. It was so much fun! It’s like miniature golf with a shotgun. Bless ‘Murica. Next Babscon we should totally get a group together and go enjoy an afternoon of shooting clay pigeons and clay rabbits.
It’s so weird living in a place not far from the ocean. I was living in a completely landlocked country for 27 years of my life, and now suddenly this gargantuan body of water is just like there. I always forget about it until I see something like the above and then I’m completely in awe for the next few hours. The whole concept of an ocean is so mindboggling to me.
Sorry for the rambling, I felt like taking pictures and sharing something random from my life!
I’m on my way to BLFC in Reno! I’m excited, aaaah! I’ll be there for the next few days. Maybe I’ll meet some of you? Lemme know if you’re gonna be there!
I’ll be back early next week! I have a lot of art that I’m almost finished with, so next week I’ll probably be able to post a lot of new stuff!
