Who am I? Where am I?

Hi, I'm Jakob! I'm an educator and artist of 8 years with a passion for the natural world, animalia, astronomy, mechanics and games, mainly Team Fortress 2! If I'm not listening to a historical book or classic/funk/rock music, I'm watching Vinesauce or some cryptid documentary. I'm passionate about a lot of things, so you can talk with me about anything, really! Please do, I love sharing with people.

Who is this Lussi on your items/why are you so... bugged out?

I have a cast of characters I've made for my own lil universe. You see em on my TF2 item names and in my artwork here. I love bugs so I have quite a few bug characters, but I also have some other animalia characters. They were a big part of my development online meeting people, and lots of people have shown affection for them, so I've leaned into making more and more art of them and building off the love I have for them and the love you guys give them. Thanks a lot!

My three stars are Lussi Vyes the Alacranite, Amalie Acari the Lonestar, and Goliath beetle. They're based on a fat tailed scorpion, a lonestar tick, and a goliath beetle, as they are three animals I'm fascinated with in my research into taxonomy and etymology. I love sharing and talking about them all, so please ask any questions you might have! And who knows, I may draw something from a conversation we have.

Some of my favorite media include:

-Team Fortress 2! (Medic main, spell/particle enjoyer with a predilection for naming most my items)

-Star Wars (Expanded Universe only, Disney Star Wars is an embarrassment. Zuckuss best bounty boy)

-Gundam (G Gundam is the best, but I also love UC. GOUF BROS UNITE)

-Pokemon (Mainly the OG gens 1-5, that's where the best pokemon come from, & I like the casual vibe)

-Sonic (Grew up on Sonic Shorts+Archie comics. Games & OST always go so hard. Sky Deck, anyone?)

-MegaMan (BEST OST of any game series. Absolutely love the classic world and games!)

-Transformers (Bayformers enjoyer, but I enjoy all continuities to some degree. Bonecrusher my fav)

-Skullgirls (I was so big on Skullgirls before the drama. Still the prettiest and most fun fighting game imo)

-JoJo (Started in 2012, huge fan for the characters and the story. Ghiaccio and Magenta enjoyer)
