Been deep in the mushroom mines writing Shai’s story lately. Thinking of launching an open NFT collection - Spore Couture: Shroomwear by Shai. Basically unique/new #Shailushai costumes by me. A lil way to support the project + own a funky PFP. Would anyone be into that?…

Pretty wild how quickly images can be animated.

First of the Fungistic Four: Mr. Fungastic himself. 🍄💪 Look who’s walking tall now. With stretchy shroom-limbs; no berry is too high, no squirrel butt unpinched, and no fridge is safe. Foragers beware—your snacks are next! #smurfcat #heisreal

Hi. It’s Shai. I stole the hairy giant’s glowing rectangle to say this: I see you. I appreciate you. You’re helping keep the spores glowing and the chaos alive. Don’t make it weird. Make it VERY WEIRD. 🫡🍄💙 - Your local sporelord #smurfcat, #Shailushai

Third of the Fungistic Four: The Fungal Torch! 🔥🍄 He’s lit. Won’t quit. Probably shouldn’t sit. Too hot for soup, too spicy for cuddles. Once flash-roasted a chicken mid-sneeze—still denies it. 🫡 Your flamin’ fungi freak — Shai #Smurfcat #TooHotToHandle #FantasticFour

Nothing to see here. Literally. Move along—or at least hide your snacks. You’ve been warned about the second of the Fungistic Four: The Invisible #Smurfcat. Power level: Hide-n-Yeet Champion. Not quite as invisible as the #EpsteinFiles, but he’s working on it... #FantasticFour

Do you see it? 0xff <-- 🐌 😉

They doubted. He ignited. #Shailushai is entering full ascension mode and breaking orbit. 🔥🚀🍄 #SmurfCat

Man… painting a blue flaming #Smurfcat has seriously tested my fire-painting skills. Started to think it might look silly, but honestly? It’s turning out a bit better than I expected. Almost done—he’s about to scorch the timeline tomorrow morning. 🔥🔥🔥 🍄

Finished my client work. Time to step back into the Sporealm. 🍄 I’m feeling that summer heat right now. 🌞 Who wants to see a #Smurfcat costume that’s bringing the sizzle? 🔥

Whoever designed this poster clearly had some prior experience handling unruly little blue creatures. Props to them for pulling it off so well. 💙

Hi. It’s Shai. Hijacked account. Today’s mission: roll in moss, sniff the flowers, and rank the finest bee butts you spot. That’s it. Don’t mess it up. 🫡

Only a couple weeks away, who’s thinking what I’m thinking? 🍄+ 💙+ #FantasticFour

Is it a beetle? Is it a crane? No, it’s #Shailushai and Kryptopillar! Looking forward to seeing #Superman Faster than a speeding hornet, more powerful than a great lumberbeast, and able to leap tall trees in a single bound. #smurfcat #heisreal #memeofsteel 🍄💙

Are you ready for Shai’s new outfit? #heisreal #memeofsteel I hear he’s even found a new little friend to join him saving Urf. Coming tomorrow… 🍄💙🦸‍♂️ #smurfcat

Good morning and happy Monday! ☀️🍄 Shai barged in this morning demanding a new costume: “Something bold, something legendary, something with a punch.” We’re already 15 costumes deep, and apparently none of them are dramatic enough. What should I design for him next? 🤔

4th of July Shai insisted on lighting the first sparkler of the season. I insisted he not eat the fireworks. We’ll see how this ends. 💥🍄 Whatever you’re up to, stay safe, have fun, and don’t let mischievous shroomlings talk you into bad ideas ❤️ #shailushai #smurfcat #4thofJuly

The world can be hard. People will doubt you. You’ll doubt yourself more. But if you believe in what you're making—even just a little—it’s worth protecting. Kindness isn't weakness. Honesty isn’t naïve. Keep your heart in it. That’s how something real grows. #bereal #heisreal
