Cover for my Levantine and pre-Islamic Arabian mythology inspired fantasy novel, The Trials of Mawt - features a young jinni man standing before a portal made of branches contorted into an arch, staring over his shoulder at the viewer as he walks towards the portal, his body surrounded in a light haze of smoke.

Decided to start sharing my WIP Levantine and pre-Islamic Arabian mythology inspired fantasy novel to #RoyalRoad to inspire myself to finish it -
If you like chaotic anti-hero brown queers, jinn, gods, and monsters, check out The Trials of Mawt!

'F*** Off And Let People Be': David Tennant Doubles Down On Support For Trans People "People are trying to create division... and it's so f***ing unnecessary."

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

This is an edit of an older meme that usually instead says Are You Tired of Being Nice?

following charlie kirk's death and the right's open embrace of cancel culture, the gamergate 2.0 mob has kicked its efforts into overdrive, targeting dozens of devs and personalities. this has resulted in an avalanche of harassment, but relatively few firings compared to the 100+ in other sectors

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

Here is some non-satire for you:

Trans rights forever.

I don't have photos of mine, but I second this!! When I was working jobs I hated and before ever taking a stab at art classes I used to draw on post-its and stick them around my desk/put comics on assignments before turning them in to my bosses lol

CONGRATULATIONS!! So cool that you worked on this!!!

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Jinn are super shapeshifty considering they aren't supposed to actually be present in our dimension so when they do show up they take whatever form they damn well please 💁‍♂️ but depending what lore you follow they can be very much cisgendered!

On the far Western shore of Middle Earth rests the Grey Havens, One of the last bastions of the elves in this world. This is Círdan the Shipbuilder's domain. For years now he has fashioned the vessels that will take the remaining Noldor and Sindar to the undying lands of Valinor, in Arman, hidden from the mortal realm at the end of the Third Age but for those who take the ships from this harbor (the only two exceptions to this being Gimli and Legolas, and Samwise, both many years from now). One of the great ships sits at a beautiful dock: Galadriel and Celeborn stand in front of Círdan, watching as Elrond gestures to an elderly Bilbo Baggins to board. Gandalf will join them and Frodo also, after a tearful goodbye. They will sail into the sea and soon join the Valar and Mayar and all the rest of the Elves. Frodo and Bilbo's time there will feel so short, mortals in a timeless realm, but it will be peaceful and joyous and filled with food and drink and song and harmony, and be a fitting resting place for the ring bearers. And Gimli of course, the one exception to a non-Elf ring bearer granted amnesty in Valinor, because unlike the movies, in the books he is the poet and chief moral officer of the third age, and brought peace between the two long rivaled races.

Get in loser, we're going west to diminish
