It was a mistake to leave me unsupervised.
Might have some new, incredibly stereotypical fantasy Edwardian romance characters inspired by a dream last night.
I need to pick some incredibly stereotypical "period romance" type names and I've got a few in mind.
The dream was super neat, I'll post more tomorrow. I love "storyline" dreams.

It won't stop raining here in Wales so I'm left with no choice but to blame the Welsh water horse tricksters for it
A heavily shadowed and ominous looking large female gnoll looks back over her shoulder towards a silhouette in the close front of the image (and the viewer). A voice off-screen says "Hisx, this (with an arrow pointing to the silhouette) is Gnyk. He'll see to your injuries."
Camera switch from the previous image to a POV from Hisx where she looks down on the much shorter and more slight gnoll, Gnyk, who is blushing and fidgeting with his hands, his eyes big and shiny (with some shines that look like hearts). The same voice off-screen from before says "...Gnyk...?"
I'm not leaving this dumb thing behind the 2-week subscriber wait.
Kind of how I imagine Hisx and Gnyk's introduction went.
By which I mean this is canon (though perhaps exaggerated a wee bit).

Would it be ethical to take a lobster from a seafood section of a store and put it in a saltwater tank and keep it as a pet?
"where are the student protestors now" as if they were not expelled, arrested, threatened, derided, abandoned, and deported. as if we didn't systematically punish what could have been our own next generation of active political leaders. jfc.
Refer fellow artists to gigs you cannot take on, review grant applications, read layouts, give the direct email address of the printer you go to, share information, all the time, always. Buy self-published zines! It's an ecosystem and being helpful and kind is as important as being talented!
I was thinking about how the single biggest driver of antisemitism right now is the actions of the Israeli government, combined with the insistence by orgs like the ADL that any criticism of Israel is antisemitism. You erase that line and it gives way too much cover to legitimate antisemites.

The Hatzegopteryx from The Dinosaurs (2026). It is a short-necked azhdarchid with a robust beak, wrinkly skin on the head, and a gray-black color pattern. It is surrounded by fog and horsetails
The Arambourgiania from The Dinosaurs (2026). It is a long-necked, lanky azhdarchid, with an orange-brown neck and body and dark gray limbs and head. It stands in the middle of a nesting colony of the hadrosaur Edmontosaurus, who are on both sides of it and not happy that it's there.
The new Netflix series The Dinosaurs features two azhdarchids, Arambourgiania and Hatzegopteryx. Both are portrayed in their capacity as eaters of small dinosaurs and general menaces. And they look gorgeous

Making an official pitch with examples of comms I'll offer: does anyone have a #VGenCode they'd be willing to toss my way?

A collection of 4 manticore and 4 sphinx. Clockwise from upper left: - Shahrokh, a deep brown manticore with golden front leg markings, a lighter brown mane, pale bat-like wings and scorpion tail. He is missing most of his tail but it is growing back. - Roshanak, a golden manticore with broken brown stripes, a short brown mane, and pale grey-brown bat wings and scorpion tail. She is missing her front right leg. - Indigo, a calico manticore with short brown hair and light vitiligo on their face. They have deep brown fur with spots of orange tabby, their back half is a dilute color. They have purple wings with gold accents. - Behruz, a pale cream and khaki manticore with stripes on his lower legs. His short scrappy mane is black but has been sun-bleached to reddish in spots. His wings and tail are also black and reddish brown, and he is missing most of his tail and parts of the fingers that make up his wings. - Tanith, a brown sphinx with short brown hair and cream underbelly. She has light spots and a large, jagged scar down her side. She also has green wings with copper-ish accents. - Mahnaz, a cream and blue manticore with khaki wings and tail, and short blue-black hair. - Alkyone, a dusty light brown sphinx with extremely short sparse fur and spotted markings. They have no mane and a short goatee. They have pale blue-grey wings with golden accents. - Iole, a small cream and khaki sphinx with short red-brown hair and a jagged scar across her throat. She has purple wings with silver accents. She is marked SOLD.
A collection of 3 sphinx and 3 manticore. From left to right, top to bottom: - Parisa, a very pale cream manticore with khaki wings and tail and a large reddish mane and tall ears. She has partial vitiligo around her eyes. - Hypatios, a slender sphinx with partial vitiligo on the bottom half of his face and from his neck down to his waist. He has a short ridge of ginger mane down the back of his neck, and blue wings with very pale gold accents. - Zhubin, a stockier cream manticore with brown stripey sock markings on his legs. His mane is large and brown, and his wings and tail match. His tail is also extremely spiky. He may be missing his right ear, it's hard to tell. - Aethon, a deep reddish brown sphinx with ochre underbelly and spotted sock markings. He has a dark brown, slightly greying ridge of a mane and mustard yellow wings with silver accents. - Zuleika, a very pale cream manticore with khaki wings and a reddish orange mane and tail. She has blue makeup as well. - Onesimos, a piebald sphinx with vitiligo on the left half of his face and in his pink wings. He has a khaki body with brown spots and patches of dilution, and his reddish brown mane is full and streaked with white. His wings have silver accents.

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!

You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.
I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
since patreon, subscribestar, and bsky all hate "a drawing of adults having sex but they don't look happy enough, it's banned for being noncon art"
i'm begging artists again to post your art to pillowfort because they use a paypro that doesn't pull this shit
and their TOS restrictions are minimal:
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams β cut by 90% by Hegseth β work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

As a trans person, I'm now gonna make a thread of all of my trans characters. This means binary, nonbinary, genderfluid, etc. It'll be a few days to get them all so stay tuned.

I wanna draw my unhinged gnoll lady Hisx but I have no ideas beyond "MUST DRAW UNHINGED GNOLL LADY, POSSIBLY ACTIVELY BEING UNHINGED".
Lord have mercy on me.

graphic design shitpost: Stick figure of human leg with the knee labeled "monetizable knee"; stick figure of digitigrade leg, with the knee labeled "uncouth zoophile knee"; text: Ankle unrelated, "we are very smart" - payment processors. Separate graphic on other half - illustration of a doggy, text: Woof woof! I am a representational, animal-shaped character! A hot one, some might say. People are often attracted to me, which make sense - I am depicted with human-like behaviors, and am often drawn as a representation of idealized or exaggerated human experiences. I'm not just a talking dog - I can be a representation of the artist's aspiration to be more playful, more confident - or of something they already love about themselves. Animal-shaped characters have been a part of human expression as long as we have made art - and that tradition will outlive the powers which seek to control and divide us today. Er, grr bark, I mean.
