A piece I've been working on last week: a young wyvern. The fur pattern is inspired by aardwolves.

Imagine waking up and finding out that things have changed quite a bit....

A different piece compared to my usual art. I started it one year ago, but stopped because I wasn't quite up to it yet. Now I was.

I still got the old drawing pinned on my profile, and I also want a reason to show the revised Areon character sheet

Here's the #introduction I promised.

I'm a software developer in the physical realm, and a fluffy wyvern who draws vector art in the online realm. Chances are you have at least seen some of my emojis before.

I attached some of my art, but if you want to see all of it, go to volpeon.ink

The account date may suggest otherwise, but I've been on the fediverse for about 5 years now. I just have a tendency to try new servers and lose my history in the process.

I also have a separate account for all sorts of posts I don't want to put on here, such as writing experiments or personal topics: @areon

@SArpnt I don't like changing the behavior of the standard library like this

The FurAffinity status site loads an image from FurAffinity, which obviously won't show up when FurAffinity is offline

I wrote a utility function just to circumvent this bullshit

export function elem<T>(arr: readonly T[], el: unknown): el is T {
	return (arr as unknown[]).includes(el);
}

A value of some unknown type is in the array? Now we know it must be type T. It isn't? Keep its original type, whatever it was.

I don't understand why TypeScript types Array.includes so that the argument must be the same type as the array elements. Accepting any type would be just as valid and save me from idiotic type casts that make no sense.

@Rivernoodl I don't think the tech is advanced enough for this yet

Hmm, I think I won't even need this plugin after all.

My first instinct was to replicate Lume's approach, but I'd prefer templates include images that need to be converted with a special component or function, kinda like Astro.

There's this genre of anime that leans heavily into the cozy vibe, but over the course of the story you get glimpses at a conflict that has been building up, but it's not so bad that it feels particularly threatening. And then in the last 2 episodes suddenly people are at risk of dying or actually dying. It's super jarring
