hey, I am not gonna doompost about it necessarily but, a glance around will tell you it's a hard & stressful time for artists, and especially so this year

consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work

it does matter

A drawing I made based on the "I Want Shorter Games With Worse Graphics" meme. This picture contains a cartoony blonde SSBBW posing seductively, drawn in the style of Shane Glines. The words in the speech bubble around her are as follows: "I want independent cartoons for adults funded by suspiciously wealthy furries and fetish/kink lovers made by both animation industry workers and fetish/kink workers to promote sexual freedom and in order to reject corporate hegemony and I'm not kidding"

I have a message and I wanna share it in the most memetic way possible, plus with a cartoony fatty too for y'all! Likes and rebleets appreciated to spread the word!

a WIP picture of my OC Tychon arched against an ambiguous sheet/bed like surface. he has his chin to his chest and his body is deeply arched up and off screen, cutting off around his hips. he bites his lips wantonly, expectantly. his right hand pushing up his shirt and sweater. his left hand lays at the side near his head.

Doodle of Anders from video game franchise Dragon age. It’s a bust with Anders facing frontward, he looks tired and is frowning.

my beautiful #handers commission my friend did for me......

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Two characters from the book Queen Margot, the king of France Charles IX and the king of Navarre Henry. They’re wearing 16th century clothes in a red palette. Both characters are holding their weapon, an arquebus for Charles and a dagger for Henry. Charles smiles lovingly at him, clinging to his arm while Henry’s face is more neutral. They’re looking at each other despite avoiding each other’s eyes. These weapons were used in the book either to threaten (Charles threatened Henry with the arquebus) or to save ( Henry saved Charles’ life with his dagger). Despite everything, Charles is looking for Henry’s affection and loyalty while Henry has views on his throne. They’re definitely not hunting the same thing.

Two kings on a hunt... Each with a different goal

disclaimer this is not every instance but i find it interesting whenever the topic of motivation for creative works pops up and people talk about wanting others to love what they love-

a completely normal desire. but i hope that you learn from that desire and give love and support to others, too

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Screenshot of text I’ve written that reads: I really want to rant about the way the world is going and how the creative industries are being destroyed and how those two things are so closely tied together and I want to complain about how hard it is to just exist and create right now and how it feels like you always need to be 'on' and the pressure to always be making content and be visible that's pushed on us by this capitalist fast tech-driven world we're in right now and how it's stifling creativity in the worst way and how it feels like you need to choose between being visible and actually making good art and experimenting and being a human being but I am exhausted and all my energy has been drained
