Some more ko-fi donation doodles, with a rare animated one!
for @hazerino and Yukki
I'm still doing these, but I'll be opening up my regular commissions very soon if you'd like something more detailed!

Finished Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War and I am reminded of why I watched every episode of Bleach rather than slog through Naruto Shippuden.
Man, I have Feelings about Orihime, I miss the weirdo goober from early Bleach. Her gaggle of simps feel more like an observation group than a real friend group, barring Tatsuki and Ichigo.
Idk, like...after she gets kidnapped she falls into what I would call Horse Girl mode, where she's all "if I can tame this here monsterboy, I might survive". And the fact that she does it twice feels...idk, it's Kubo writing to a T, but...the worst part about it is that Orihime kinda just stays in horse girl mode after that for the most part. The weirdo goober is gone, and in her place is a girl who can haltingly say "Kurosaki-kun" with the best of them.
Like...Kubo didn't fully pull a Kishimoto and entirely fumble her character arc, but he took a fun character out of his gag rotation.

Whoa. What in God's name is the Great Dying? That sounds horrifying.
the Great Dying is the colloquial name for the End-Permian mass extinction event, which separates the Permian from the Triassic in the geological record.
and it's called that for a reason, because the Great Dying killed, no joke, 90% of all animals on planet Earth in the worst mass extinction of all time! the Earth before the Great Dying was an alien land full of crocodile relatives, mammal ancestors, and more weird fish than you could shake a reasonably-sized stick at.
<art src: Julius T. Csotonyi>
the world after the Great Dying was a blasted hellscape, with few survivors either in the sea or on land.
<art src: Julius T. Csotonyi>
one of those land-bound survivors was the ancestor of all mammals, and another was the first of the dinosaurs! the next geologic age, the Triassic, would see the rise of dinosaurs and pterosaurs and even seagoing ichthyosaurs to replace the multitude of lineages that fell during the Great Dying.
but what caused this chaotic event?
the death of a supercontinent, no joke.
Pangea was very much a thing at the time, but plate tectonics were starting to literally rip it apart at the seams. and when the seams split, a volcanic hellstorm was unleashed that hurled lava MILES into the air and covered the land in lava beds over a mile thick, releasing gigantic stores of carbon dioxide that dwarf the maximum amount humans could ever release by an order of magnitude! and also poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas. that will be important later.
so what happened next was runaway global warming that rapidly turned the entire planet except for the poles completely uninhabitable. the ocean got so warm that it was as hot as a hot tub at the equator, which made the water unable to hold dissolved gases and sent the breathable oxygen levels in the ocean plummeting worldwide, suffocating basically everything in it. the land was covered in a haze of highly toxic gas and punishing heat that poisoned and baked animals alive, while the hot ocean waters may have fueled hurricanes the size of entire continents that ravaged both earth and sea down to the bedrock!
the whole fucking planet looked more like Venus than anything we'd recognize today.
so basically, this was the lowest point of animal life on Earth. it took many millions of years for our planet to recover, and we all should be thankful that, whatever humanity unleashes in the future, at least it won't be as bad as the Great Dying.
