Introduction

Hi! I primarily go by popkornkat or bombasticbeegirl on the Internet, but you can call me Emily, Poppy, or Honey. She/her pronouns, please!I'm an artist, writer, classic animation historian, retro video game enthusiast, jazz lover, archivist, and vintage anime fanatic!While I draw all sorts of things, from backgrounds to fanart, I love to develop original characters most of all!I use a Wacom 27QHD Cintiq and/or a fifth-generation Apple iPad Pro with the corresponding Apple Pencil to produce my digital art. I primarily use Clip Studio Paint, though I am also well-versed with Krita and Procreate.My preferred traditional mediums are pen-and-ink, alcohol-based markers, colored pencils, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and water-soluble pencils of all sorts.I want to work on learning Japanese! Right now my comprehension abilities are limited to hiragana, katakana, and random kanji. It's been on the backburner, but I hope to get back to it someday.My favorite colors are yellow, lime green, and pink!I'm neurodivergent and have severe anxiety issues, so I ask that you please be patient with me.

The character you see on the index page is Poppy! She's my fursona and she lives on a tropical island. Her main weapon is a stone axe.

⚠️Before we jump in...⚠️

  • I'm neurodivergent. Specifically, I have autism, anxiety and OCD.

  • I like to make new friends, but due to past experiences, I have severe trust issues and may not accept friend requests right away. Please be patient.

  • If I don't reply to your messages right away, don't repeatedly nag me. Chances are that I either am busy or do not have the mental energy to reply.

  • Please don't attempt small talk with me if I hardly know you.

  • If you're asking me a question, be as direct as possible. You don't need to ask to ask me a question.

  • If you have problems with me or my behavior, I'd rather we try and work things out first before taking it public.

If you're looking for mutual aid

  • I can't share every mutual aid post I'm tagged in or DMed.

  • I prefer to share fundraisers that have been vetted by a trusted third-party. I do not feel comfortable vetting fundraisers because it feels invasive. However, I may ask you a few questions if I'm not sure.

  • If a mutual aid post I share is a known scam, please let me know ASAP.

  • I would prefer it if you do not ask for mutual aid in unrelated posts (i.e., my art posts). This could result in your account getting flagged as spam.

  • Please avoid pinging or DMing a lot of people at once, as this could get your account flagged as spam.

🚫 I will likely block you if you... 🚫

  • fit the standard DNFI criteria (basically if you're racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, a pedophile, etc.)

  • post NSFW and are a minor. Please stop for your own safety.

  • produce or defend underage porn (fictional or not), romanticized abuse, incest, zoophilia, noncon, etc. (I have "proship DNI" on my profiles as a catchall)

  • are a NFT/crypto account

  • post AI-generated images or videos

  • actively support Doug TenNapel, John Kricfalusi, Donald Trump, J.K. Rowling, or similar figures

This isn't a comprehensive list. I reserve the right to block anyone for any reason.Please let me know if I'm following or interacting with someone who's problematic, as I don't always realize this.
