Today is my birthday, so I feel justified in posting again 😅
I'm continuing the fundraiser for my debt
Lowered the goal to $600, I'll be able to pay off the rest on my own + I managed to fix my backup phone so I don't need a new one
Donations: hipolink.net/copheemoth/t...
Commissions: below

Icon vs User

Birthday in 10 days and still at 0% 🥺
fico next pls
HoMM IV 👀👀👀 yes indeed it has a great soundtrack
i was thinking of making a "hero unit"-focused custom map for it as some point too, i just don't have much experience with that kind of thing
- I adore the bleak painterly look of F&H
- Ib is not quite "a game of all time", but RPG Maker horror games influence my stories and characters a lot
- The customizability of NWN is hard to top even now
- I loved playing HoMM III with my bro as a kid
- Touhou OST is great, but 8th's is my favorite
I haven't played enough games to fill this in, so I'll just list a couple of my picks instead
- Favorite art style: Fear and Hunger 2: Termina
- Biggest personal impact: Ib
- Criminally overlooked: Neverwinter Nights
- Best multiplayer: HoMM III
- Best soundtrack: Touhou Imperishable Night
no more "degenerate" pls
or any of the lolcow-adjacent bs, which is somehow still a thing
also this reminds me of the time i learned where gorillion came from 💀 i don't even know where i picked up that word jfc
Anti-trans obsession isn't complicated, guys. They think trans people are icky and "unnatural". Everything else is a post facto justification adapted to provide the desired conclusion, to convince themselves as much as anyone else that it's not just the base revulsion they subconsciously know it is.
I phrased this badly but I hope the point is clear. I'm so done with both the bald bastard and the orange bastard's bullshit
It's useless to imagine this scenario, but sometimes I wonder what could've been done, if all the support and armaments that are currently servicing USA government with Trump's petulant idiocy and Israel's genocidal actions went towards Ukraine's defense instead
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.
Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.
I have an important announcement...
My persona's name is actually Kai
SurrealEmber is just a username that I picked so people could nickname me (the real person) Ember instead of using my IRL name. Like CopheeMoth -> Moth
I feel like Kai has become more of his own character so I gave him a name
I am uninterested in pretending
that anyone is interested in my commissions anymore. I don't receive enough donations to make a dent in my debt because I have to use the money for regular expenses. I have a feeling that if I get to a critical situation again I will just be ignored. I give up
@fairshare.help
Fundraiser 2026 goal $200 for phone, $600 for debt $0/800 reached hipolink.net/copheemoth/tips
My phone is hard to use after the screen broke recently. I have a backup, but it loses charge fast. On top of that, I still have to pay off the remaining quarter of my debt
I hope to sort this out before 2026 ends. You can commission me (pins) or donate to help
$0/800

i will have to add an explicit amendment to my carrd at this point
i don't live in usa so idc about the danger of "fedposting" but i don't think i need to spell out my thoughts on ice for you to know them
you know when you start thinking "oh damn is usa really getting worse than russia (fuck russia)" without being poisoned by the propaganda, that the shit is really dire
Pixel artwork of my OC Ember. He is wearing a hooded burgundy cloak with copper trim and clasps with red jewels, a long burgundy robe, a wide copper sash, a white full-face porcelain mask and white gloves. His left eye is glowing orange, and he is holding a floating black lantern phylactery with a red glow that contains his soul

Pixel art portrait of Leone Abbacchio from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind, with coloration closer to the anime version. He is muscular and has purple-yellow eyes, purple lips and light hair with a purple tint. He is wearing a purple cap shaped somewhat like a starfish, and a very dark indigo jacket with purple laces coming out of gold eyelets.
A title screen of a non-existent game called "Slime Farm" drawn in pixel art. The logo is green and has a gelatinous style. The credits at the bottom say "copyright 2025 Surreal Ember". The art depicts a bright hilly field. In the foreground there's a cute green slime creature, a boulder with a blue slime peeking out of it and some pebbles around, and a tree with pink leaves. The orange slime is attached to a tree branch, and the red slime is looming in the tree hollow at its base. There's some small red mushrooms near the tree. In the faintly visible distance there's a forest with a castle, a barn, a knight fighting a big slime creature, and some clouds in the sky.
hello #portfolioday, i'm a pixel artist!
commissions open
surrealember.carrd.co#commissions
At those point a new server is needed, most of the channels are gone and replaced with the scam link, so recovery is pointless
Or maybe there's not enough resources for a new ones
Either way I hope there's an announcement soon
It would also be good to know where the server admin went

A pixel art depiction of a Sokoban level. The level is surrounded by dark walls. The floor has a bit of a high-tech aesthetic and is made out of square metal panels in different patterns, it has xross markings for the correct placement of boxes. The boxes are varied: a gift box, a metal cage with a creature, a wooden crate, a blue metal container with a fish, a red metal container with a gun, a cardboard parcel, and a high-tech crate with a warning sign. The player is a woman with a high-vis crop top, gloves, pants, boots, and a high-tech visor that covers one of her eyes.
