Call your reps and when elections happen, please vote for the people that aren't trying to destroy people just trying to live their lives.

"Don't worry Darling, He's much scarier looking than he is feirce." A blatant lie softened by the woman's sugar sweet smile.

My beloved lady, Lillian, turned to a necromancer through unseelie interference and disastrous life circumstances.

I got to play with some gradient maps and it was fun~!

A chibi style drawing of my oc Flora wearing a white top and a purple skirt, she has blue hair and brown eyes and tan skin.

An old drawing of my oc also in a chibi style! [2015]

Sometimes I get The Itch™ to finish a drawing in one sitting and this was one of those times. Well worth my Sunday! 😌

I wanted to compare my newest chibi with my first chibi from 2015 (the same character btw!)

I really want to open commissions for these and host a raffle!

My OCs Whitney and Rowan. Whitney is affectionately clinging to Rowan's right arm while Rowan is holding a coffee cup in her left hand. Someone offscreen asks "Whatcha got there, Rowan?" to which she answers "A coffee."

Short comic strip featuring Prince Mattias and a mysterious man named Locke. First panel is a close up of Mat staring, before transitioning to the second panel of him sighing. He says "You're such an asshole." Third panel shows Locke facing Mat and laughing as Mat looks annoyed at his flamboyance. Fourth panel is Mat glaring with a threatening aura as Locke says "Hm.."

Second page of the short comic. First panel shows a close up of Locke smiling and reaching for Mat's face saying "You're one to talk, Mat." Second panel is Mat looking surprised as Locke reaches his hand for his face. Third panel shows Locke's finger shushing Mat's lips. Fourth panel is of Locke peering down at Mat and cupping his chin with his finger still on his lips. Locke says, "Who taught you to speak with such a foul mouth?" which causes Mat to go silent. End!

ok i found it. here you go Locke nation #oc

i dont agree with censorship especially when there's no disregard for who is being silenced. they dont care and will come after everyone.

but please realize that self tagging your art and labeling it has its place among friends and followers not wanting to get jumpscared by unlabeled porn

there are people online who have sexual trauma and try to avoid triggering subjects. idk why people are now suddenly complaining about having to tag their nsfw art.

is it that hard to just be a decent person and understand that it's common courtesy to put a spoiler tag over porn.

A foggy red sky over a kind of spooky cabin with one illuminated window, with white text over it reading “the role of the artist is to terrify the oppressor.”

More relevant than ever. This is why fascists try to censor artists first. This is why we can never stop, give in, or quiet ourselves.

Stay scary, fellow artists~ 😘

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

In tandem with the ongoing push for pornography censorship, there's an ongoing effort to label any LGBTQ+ representation as inherently pornographic, regardless of its content or if it shows anything explicit, so it can be erased.

These efforts are intertwined and cannot be divorced from each other.

I haven't seen people talking about it but the no discussing self-harm part really annoys me. I made Olive with visible scars because these exist in real life, they shouldn't be hidden away or be a source of shame and yet, they seem almost taboo.

a wonkly doodle of me saying "owie", with text around saying "help me recover my fcked up wrists. i need them to make money (or a sandwich). and a link to my donation page

help needed 🙏 i'm unable to properly work due to wrist strain (possibly the entire arm's out?)

diagnosis + treatment are proving to be costly so to cover it + rest time, i'd appreciate any support. holding anything is difficult; it was already hard writing this ;; thank you

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

2/🧵

Screenshot of a feedback form with the text: I'm writing about the upcoming change to the Bluesky TOS. Bluesky put out a feedback request and despite many people voicing concerns about the changes, very concerning updates have been maintained. Bluesky has MANY moderation tools that users can utilize themselves to restrict content that they don't want to see without needing to prevent the content from being published on the site as a whole. Aside from content labels, there are user-run moderation lists and feeds so that anyone can curate their content easily. Despite this, you have chosen to move forward with some incredibly harmful policies that restrict free speech. I implore you to remove the following policies: 1) The restriction of FICTIONAL kink content. Non-con, dub-con, and “dangerous” kink content that is FICTIONAL does not harm anyone. 2) The restriction of content depicting or discussing self harm, suicide, and substance abuse. Requiring content about these subjects to only be “educational” is extremely harmful to those dealing with these issues. Stigma only serves to further endanger people in crisis. If these policy changes are not removed then I, among many others, will have to look for a different platform to use.

Here's the message I sent in

You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point

Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"!

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

🧵

You can accuse people of slippery slope fallacy or being needlessly pedantic, but these are questions that don't have clear answers. The reality is that there isn't actually a way to enforce a rule like that without creating an incredibly wide grey area that has a lot of people concerned.

I think I’ll just straight up buy an intricate frame and hang him next to my to rise my serotonin levels atp

I don't draw or consume NSFW content, but I don't think I need to clarify how harmful this kind of censorship can be. It's a slippery slope.
I'm also curious how they will decide what is noncon and what isn't 😅
In any case, keep fighting everyone!

Am I tired? Yes.
Will I be silent about absolutely fucking stupidest idea of blackout that will help no one? Fuck no.
And you also shouldn't be.

BE LOUD, LEAVE FEEDBACK, DON'T LET YOUR VOICE BE SILENCED 🗣️

Art train!

Show your ocs current design vs their first one!
How about a 2 for 1 special, Katherine on top and Danyell on bottom! 🥰

my partner and i's little WoL characters in FFXIV, who are actually just kinda NPCs rather than the big hero. gullert is the vibrant elezen hugging into his wife lyngwyb who's in a more subdue boxier tuxedo above them are the lyrics of fleetwood mac's think of me. with the starting verse being "i didn't mean to love you, didn't think it would work out, but i know we would be together. and i couldn't wait for more."

think of me

what if the two random side quest NPCs got married
