And please don’t feel like you have to out yourself to participate, as long as the story has a trans lead we can consider it!

Just like last year, i highly encourage everyone to foster a safe environment for this event, which includes not outing authors.

Calling all authors and comic artists creating 🏳️‍⚧️ trans stories!!! 🥰❤️💯

Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.

I know this is the UK's fault rather than itch's but man it feels bad to be kept away from projects I was interested in (in before yes I know vpns exist)

Itch please just let me buy the cute queer love stories I promise I am an old person and not in danger of being corrupted by

Studious, male mage, no abs is a request we've been getting an awful lot recently. Order up. 🔥 👀

Sneak peak at new TrueRef model Xander! Coming later this month.

Ooook!! Looking for 2-4 more!! I've had a few people ask, fan works like doujinshi or fanfic are fine! I could use a short 6 page thing and I could also use a longer work at 50-80 pages! If you don't have something ready atm but could in the next month or two, feel free to reach out.

The banner for The Power of Pride Bundle 2026. It depicts a black cat taking a nap amongst an assorted pile of objects associated with projects that may be submitted into the bundle, including a pink game controller, a pencil and paper, a musical note, a 6-sided die, a book, and a black power fist. A rainbow sits behind the logo and cat.

Calling all queer creators on itchio! The #PowerOfPride2026 Bundle is now open for submissions!

Digital games, physical games, books, zines, comics, assets & tools— we're accepting them all! NSFW OK! We want to work with you to share your projects.

Sketch of an eldritch version of the pokemon paras. It says skree! and Paras in text.

🌸Before I leave for the convention, here's a little eldritch Paras for Pokemon's 30th anniversary~ 🍄🎉🍄

the struggle (the urge to create a general fandom account so I can further quarantine my getting real cringe)

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

imo when a character is acting in a way that's consistent with things they've done before and inconsistent with things that the other character has done before, you can get away with way less identification. 'He ate the cake' is much clearer when one character has been established as big cake fan.

this probably isn't useful because clarity is in the eye of the beholder, but I think people also tend to underestimate how clear a pronoun can be when supported by context details and overlook that those context details can often be the action that the pronoun is identifying.

unfortunately I have decided that I like wrathion and I am going to be a problem about it

I'm launching a Kickstarter in April to fund an anthology of vampire stories that I hope to publish next year! Submissions will open this June if it gets funded 👀

Follow the project here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal...

A version of the growthbyvisuals meme “just make it exist first/you can make it good later.” Text says, “just make it exist first” above a roughly drawn green circle. A second line reads, “You can shade with multiply, slap a noise layer on it, and call it good later” above the same roughly drawn circle, with the aforementioned changes.

I made a version of the meme to show ✨my process✨

I'm not sure that using an obvious AI image to illustrate your article about oil painting techniques is a good way to establish yourself as an authority on the topic tbh.

AI aside, it's like going 'here's my great cake recipe' and adding a picture of fish and chips.

me, a fool: I'll just poke at the free trial to see what they're doing with the dragons so I have more context for comms involving them

a 'breaking free from abuse makes you monstrous in the eyes of the abuser and you have to decide what kind of monster to be' metaphor, here to hit me like a train:

I don't know anything about the pretty werewolf princess lady and I'm not sure if 2/3 of those descriptors are accurate. But I know from osmosis that there is a pretty lady who may or may not be a princess and/or werewolf and I know that lilian deserves the best possible girlfriend.

I invented a new type of person: person who has played themselves and now has to figure out what the plot of wow is so they can figure out exactly how unlikely it is for the lady who speedran cult deprogramming by becoming a zombie to kiss the pretty werewolf (?) princess (?) lady

G'raha (Final Fantasy XIV) and Charnelle (Final Fantasy XIV OC) are walking through a forest together, G'raha guiding Charnelle up the boughs of a large tree. A flurry of butterflies surrounds them and Charnelle watches them, enchanted, as G'raha watches her with similar reverence.

Commission! Charnelle is @feo-ul.bsky.social s character!

man I was just thinking how sad it is that I got really into doing muscle anatomy studies after I was no longer in my castlevania phase and this has kept me from drawing infinite trevors.

I think I manifested a videogame

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
