A banner version of the cover of Iron Spirit by Linn Foster. A young woman stands with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. A rifle is slung across her shoulder. A fox made of neon cyan fire stands in front of her, while she holds a flame of the same color. (Art by Russell Showalter.) A banner version of the cover of Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea by Linn Silver. It features the two main characters, Bell and Tae, standing back to back and looking at the viewer. Their hands are loosely clasped together. Behind them is the beach and a large full moon, all done in shades of purple and blue. (Art by @cryling.) Above the banner it says BIRTHDAY SALE! 50% OFF ON ALL RETAILERS. $1.99 each!

An E.G.G. operated by the player character (default name "Leon") in the Sega Dreamcast title "Elemental Gimmick Gear".

Been playing #E.G.G for the #Dreamcast lately. Doodled a little guy.

Internalized autistic meltdowns, let's talk about them.

First of all, they can and absolutely do often look like they sound.

But they can also look like absolutely nothing.

Echolalia is such a weird autistic trait. It varies so much for me what, and when, I will quote something with very little ability to stop it.

Not useful during a discussion about bill amendments and ping pong when someone this week said "once, twice" and I blurted out "three times a lady".

*A 2E. Damn you, lack of edit feature.

A Second Era Imperial Soldier, as seen in The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.

An 2E Imperial fellow in the style of The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, made for a friend's TTRPG set during the period. I still have no clue on rendering.

Correct.

An autistically trollish pen grip.

A bit of both, for me. >_>

I wish Silent Hill f wasn't $105.60 CAD.

A "trope map" for Linn Silver's novel, Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea. It says: genderfluid main character, aro-pan love interest, queer side cast, romantic rival, strangers to friends to lovers, seaside city, family drama, shapeshifters, monstrous appetites, nonhuman/human relationship, fox politics, music appreciation, and more. (Art by @cryling.)

Bell is a gumiho who only wants one thing: true love-- & they might've found it. The problem? They want to kill & eat him too.

The Pokémon Psyduck, which looks sort of like a platypus honestly.

Poking at Clip Studio Paint and tried to draw a Psyduck.

Counterprotestors gather at Queen's Park with various hand-drawn signs, such as 'Trans Rights are Human Rights', 'Protect Trans Kids', 'Let Kids Be', 'Hate Rots the Soul', 'Mind Your Own Gender', 'Love Your Trans Kids' and 'God Loves Me'.

Counterprotestors march down College St east of Bay St. Signs include 'Leave Medical decisions to doctors + families', 'Gender Affirming Care Saves Lives', and 'Trans Rights Are Workers Rights'.

Counterprotestors march down College St east of Bay St. Signs include 'STOP telling trans youth that who they are is WRONG'.

Counterprotestors march down College St east of Bay St. One demonstrator is wearing a trans flag as a cape.

Our counterprotest demonstration earlier today against a hate rally calling for healthcare to be forcibly withheld from trans kids was attended by almost 100 participants.

The hate rally ended without meaningful impact. We built the connections necessary to safeguard trans rights for years to come.

Transferring from paper to keyboard also makes my editing brain turn on, which I find difficult to do otherwise, or summon the energy for on command if just going digital to digital.

Japanese week #2 went ok. Only trans person out of 15. Repeating my name is generally taken with mild confusion, and misgendered from all sides, but at least I aced the first hiragana quiz.

Have pronunciations down too, but anxiety + autism driving everything out of my head when called upon.

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?

Meeting the Iskal Queen, who at first glance seems to be a rather attractive looking insect lady with large turquoise butterfly-type wings.

Remnant: From The Ashes is pretty great. Just met the Iskal Queen in Corsus and oh dear.

Drew a face I didn't hate for once.

Been trying to learn to draw again for the first time since being a preteen.

MEGA MAN STAR FORCE COLLECTION!

LET'S FUCKIN' GOOOOOOOOO

I love the Alien: Earth eyeball squid so much.

Game logo reading "Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend.

Played SaGa 1 for five hours straight last night and made it to the island town. Been a minute since something hooked me like that.

I still don't know how the meat system is supposed to work outside of seemingly random transformations, but my Mutant lady seems to be steamrolling most things anyway.

A young woman stands with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. A rifle is slung across her shoulder. A fox made of neon cyan fire stands in front of her, while she holds a flame of the same color. To the side are the words IRON SPIRIT, Iron Legacy Book One, by Linn Foster. (Art by Russell Showalter.)

Today is Iron Spirit's one year anniversary! Wild to think it's already been that long.

If post-apoc fantasy, plays on the chosen one trope, and vicious faeries sounds like your kind of thing, maybe grab a copy?

If you follow trans artists, creators, etc - for the love of god please support them however you can, as doggedly as you fight for anything, because more and more and more we are increasingly at risk of losing everything at every turn.

If you, too, are trans - I love you, I'm sorry it's this way.

Alien Earth fucks, holy shit.

Is that the YTV font? 👀
