Hiya, sorry to bother you
I live internationally and really can't afford the shipping on your Malevolent poster
Would you mind if I printed it out in A4 and sent you a tip or something? (Sorry, not quite sure how Kofi works lol)
Absolutely no worries if not, I'll definitely be getting a sticker :3
oh for sure! I hate how expensive international shipping is I wish I could magically teleport it to your doorstep- but alas,, go crazy tho!! a tip would very much be appreciated <333

don't think I ever clarified this but I genuinely don't care if people use my art as headers, icons, etc, anything really. As long as you credit me somewhere accessible from the location it's being displayed it's literally fine. You don't have to ask me and honestly I think it should be normalized to display art on the internet without personally contacting the artist for approval. Obviously if you're profiting from whatever it is that's a different story

i am not anti-media-piracy, in fact i support it heartily on the media preservation level, and i have mixed but partially positive feelings about it on the individual choice/saving money level...
but the way some people talk about piracy like it's a heroic thing to do - not in the preservation sense, but in the 'fuck companies!!! if i can get something for free and screw them over, I'm fighting capitalism!' sense - oh some people sound like real goobers with those arguments.
#to me it's ... complicated#bc 100% i don't want media to be lost#and i have lots and lots of issues iwth the way modern entertainment companies try to extract profits/don't share revenue appropriately wit#all the people who actually MAKE the art.#i have lots of issues with that...!#however i am also an artist and have the crazy belief that art including movies tv games etc has value#and in our current world... paying for art/entertainment you enjoy is like... the way to ensure it is possible#do i dream of a utopia with UBI/guaranteed arts funding where we didn't have to depend on corporations to make art as investments?#of course i do!#however i don't believe that is likely to come to pass anytime soon....#and like... no i dont think anyone is a Rotten Person to the Core for pirating tv/movies#however. i do firmly believe that paying for art when you are able and when you value it is important.#some people will be like 'boohoo poor companies are mad that i dont pay for their product when i can pirate it for free!!!!'#like yes? it costs a lot of money to make! of course they want a profit#i have issues with the degree to which profits are extracted to the wealthy few in the present day#and i have issues/worries about the fundamental monetization structures of TV especially at the current moment#but i do not have an issue with the basic premise that companies would fund expensive large-scale art (like tv or movies) and expect to mak#a profit from funding such a large project#imo if u truly wanna pretend you're pirating in an anticapitalist way#you'd pirate something then venmo the normal cost to a random employee who worked on the production#lmao#that's still obviously a little flawed but like. u get my point? good. i hope ur having a good day#hypothetical person who reads my rambling tags this deep.#d

funny thing is I don't really have any interest in hoarding knowledge or resources for myself in any way, I'm just bad at publishing stuff because I feel like that'd require a bit more stringent quality control than what I might expect of something made largely for my own use.
sometimes I think maybe I should set up something like a google drive or a git or something to just throw my personal- and work-in-progress stuff for people who are interested, but I dunno what limits for space or bandwidth or anything are like.
like I'm sure some people would possibly find the ColorSet unpacker python script useful?? It kinda sucks through and I want to make a better version of it and maybe one that could work as a standalone executable instead? and possibly a packer counterpart to the unpacker?? But also I keep thinking like "would this even be useful to anyone lmao??"
in theory you could probably make some kind of art program plugin that does all of this for you - even the bit with loading actual colorset information into layered colorset pairs, but I mean that's a lot of effort and I still largely use a 20+ year old version of Paint Shop Pro myself so...

nerdjo! who whines while he’s tutoring you. it’s been thirty five minutes and you’ve gotten through two problems, he reminds you. but you won’t stop changing the topic, or poking at his arm, or brushing his hair from off his glasses.
nerdjo! who begs you to stay up til midnight when you have a nine am lecture the next day so you can watch a new episode of his favorite, albeit lame, show with him because he wants to share it with you.
nerdjo! who, instead of bars, takes you to museums. he doesn’t act priss— he still laughs loudly at your jokes, he still slings an arm around your shoulder and tugs you along like you’re alone— but he does go into extensive detail when he sees an artifact he’s studied before or an art piece he looked up because it reminded him of you.
nerdjo! who calms you down when you have a big assignment coming up and insists on helping you with it (free of charge). he buys any supplies you may need, listens to you explain what you want to do with it, and compiles a step by step plan for how to achieve your goal as soon as possible.
nerdjo! who builds you lego flowers. call him lame, call him a child, but they’re forever! he says. he puts all but one together by himself and saves the very last one for you to do together, so the memory will last too.
nerdjo! who begs you to come with him to his optometrist appointment so he can make sure you still think he’s cute with his new frames. he wants to branch out, explore, switch it up— but he’s deathly afraid you’ll find him any less than handsome. he loves to impress you.
nerdjo! who knows you’re attracted to him. he knows he’s attractive as is, he’s not insecure about his looks. he’s an observant man, he knows what he does that makes you squeamish and he profits on it.
nerdjo! who pushes his glasses up while looking at you with two fingers. who tugs on ties he wears to interviews with one hand while he presses the other to your hip. who yanks his fingers through his hair and holds it in the air for just a second too long so you can see the way his eyes shine.
nerdjo! who, while he may be a nerd, radiates a confidence to him. that confidence shines through in moments like this, with his hands pushing your hips down as you desperately try to raise them.
nerdjo! who knows what he’s doing. his tongue is as precise as he is in between your thighs, lapping up at the sheer slick that covers you. he’s good at facts and memorization, so he’s memorized exactly when to flatten his tongue nice and slow and when to point it all fast like.
nerdjo! who moans when you do, rolling his hips into the bed as he continues dutifully. he’s obsessed. you’re everything, you’re the ground he walks on, you’re the hottest thing alive.
nerdjo! who has done this so many times it’s like religion to him. who is so used to your taste and your smell and the way you feel and it never gets old. and— no matter how many times he has been here, no matter how long he can last, no matter how little he’s being touched…
nerdjo! who cums in his pants more than half the time when he goes down on you. his whines vibrate against your clit, muffled by you dripping cunt.
nerdjo! who blushes a pink red, buries his face into your thigh, raises the pitch in his voice as he goes “couldn’t help it, baby, you’re so pretty… can i still fuck you?”

The Hoodoo Apprentice
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Amelia packed her things and took a train to Clarksdale Mississippi to reunite with an old friend, Annie. Annie promised she’d teach Amelia the art of Hoodoo. After a month, Smoke and Stack return with a plan to open a Juke Joint.
Warnings: SMUT
Part Two
Elijah ‘Smokes’ truck rolled to a stop. He cut the engine, taking a moment to finish his cigarette before he entered the home he shared with Annie. He could smell her cooking from where he sat, mouth watering. He missed good ‘ol southern cooking, more specifically his wife’s cooking. Smoke tossed his cigarette bud and grabbed a bouquet of flowers that he purchased from Bo Chow before climbing out of his truck. Walking around to the back of the truck, he lifted the tarp and grabbed a wooden crate filled with Irish Beer and Italian Wine.
Smoke made the short walk to the house, ascending the front porch steps before sitting the crate down to open the door. He needed this. No more running away from his problems. He craved his wife in ways he couldn’t put into words. Smoke had a lot of making up to do, and he was a man of action and very few words.
Smoke could hear Ma Rainey playing from a phonograph in the drawing room. He went to let himself in but paused when he’d heard sensual laughter and soft moans. His body moved from the door, down the steps, and around towards the back of the house. He crept stealthily, slowing down when he’d heard his wife’s name in a voice laced with lust…
One hour before:
Amelia held a woven basked against her left hip while she picked a bundle of collards for dinner. Her curly ringlets swept over her face annoyingly. She blew hair from her lips after grabbing the last bit of collards. Amelia makes her way back to the house. She climbed the back steps and through the screen door.
Inside, Amelia looked at Annie who was busy preparing the catfish for frying.
“Got the collards. I’ll go wash ‘em.”
Annie held Amelia’s gaze, “Thank you, Lia.”
Amelia started rinsing the collards off. Annie found herself caught in a trance. Amelia was situated on her knees in front of a bucket of water on the back porch. The motion of Amelia’s hands. The way her curly auburn hair reminded her of cascading stems, twisted leaves, and red, lipstick-shaped flowers.
Annie broke the silence, “Busy day at the shop today.”
“Sure was. Made a good profit too.” Amelia replied.
“…Whatcha think of Smoke?”
Amelia wasn’t expecting that question from Annie. She glanced up through her lashes at her.
“He scares you?” Annie questioned.
Amelia gave Annie a half shrug, “I—He’s a little scary.”
Annie giggled, “A little?”
“He’s a gangster, Annie. Scary comes wit’ the job.” Amelia jokes.
“Smoke is tough, but deep, real deep…he’s a softy.”
Amelia smirked, “Sounds to me you’re his safe space.”
Annie finished prepping the catfish and checked on the frying oil. Amelia brought in the clean collards. Annie situated herself beside Amelia, helping her cut the collards. Amelia stole glances at Annie. Smoke’s coming back did affect Amelia. Ways she never imagined.
“Is this his favorite meal?” Amelia asked.
“Smoke love him some catfish and collards. Throw in some skillet cornbread you got ya’ self a sappy man. Feed him good and put his head between my bosom.”
Amelia laughed lightheartedly. She bumped her hip into Annie’s and Annie reclined her head against Amelia’s shoulder.
“He strikes me as a breast man—”
Amelia stopped herself from talking. She caught Annie smiling at her warmly. Visuals played over and over in her head of the way Smoke sucked on Annie’s bountiful breasts. Like he wanted to fit his entire mouth around all that heaviness.
“He an all up on me man…every inch of me.” Annie spoke with intensity.
Amelia was witnessing in real time the beautiful bond between them. A bond so strong.
“The way he looks at you, it’s just so…so…”
Amelia studied Annie’s face as she tried to convey her feelings.
“…So inspiring.”
Annie’s eyes fell to Amelia’s lips.
“…You saw us havin’ sex…didn’t you?”
Amelia turned away from Annie. She tried to think of a way to respond to her. Too embarrassed to admit it.
“It wasn’t my intention, Annie—I just…”
Annie’s hand pressed against Amelia’s back. Amelia peered into Annie’s eyes. The hand on her back dragged down to her hip and she found herself flesh against Annie. Just like she did Smoke in that Shack, Annie’s lips latched onto Amelia’s ear. Amelia held onto the wash basin to steady herself. Annie’s skillful lips kissing and nibbling on her ear made her legs all wobbly.
“…thing is, I saw ya’ watching, Amelia…I saw ya’ fingering my pussy…”
“Did Smoke—”
“Smoke don’t know nothin’.”
Annie forced Amelia to look at her with a tight hold on her jaw, so tight her lips puckered.
“What happened between us last night…I’ve been fightin’ all damn day to keep from touching ya’. Truth is…I can’t stop…and I won’t stop…”
Amelia melted. Annie stroked her pouty lips with her thumb before sinking it into Amelia’s mouth. Amelia sucked on Annie’s thumb, eyes closed, soft whimpers filling the room. Annie’s thumb slipped away, leaving behind a trail of spit.
“I–I can’t stop daydreaming ‘bout it, Annie. I want ya’ to taste me again…”
Amelia extended a hand and stroked Annie’s cheek with her fingertips. She got up on Annie, breast to breast, and slammed her lips into hers feverishly. The sound of frying oil popping and the insects of the night mingled with smacking lips and soft moans.
Annie groped Amelia’s thick behind through her dress.
“Fuck,” Amelia tongued Annie’s lips, “Let’s go to the room, look how wet I am for you…”
Amelia grabbed Annie’s left hand and snaked it between her legs. Annie stroked Amelia’s pussy through her panties. Soaking wet heat. Annie attacked Amelia’s neck while her fingers pinched her clit through the satin material.
Immediately, Annie could feel her own pussy cat dripping. She wanted so bad to bend Amelia over the wash basin, lift the back of her dress, and ravish her cooze until she cried. Cried for Annie to keep going, cried after each orgasm. Cried like a good little bitch.
Annie needed to stop. If she didn’t, she’d have to eat Amelia on every surface in that house.
“We gotta get this food cooking…”
Annie broke away from Amelia reluctantly. Amelia’s chest heaved up and down. She thumbed away spit from her bottom lip. Annie was right, Smoke could be here any minute. Annie started frying the catfish and Amelia busied herself with the collards. Still, she craved more from Annie.
Sneaky glances, bumping into each other, soft blues with its melancholy instrumental circulating throughout the small home, no matter how hard they tried, neither one of them could resist. Amelia swayed her hips to the rhythm, stirring the pot of collards just the same. Annie had just finished cooking all the catfish and now she was working on the skillet cornbread.
“Shit…”
Amelia glanced over at Annie mixing the cornbread batter. Some of the batter spilled over her hand and fell to the floor. Amelia watched Annie reach for a towel, but before she could use it to wipe her hand clean, Amelia appeared by her side, capturing Annie’s fingers in her mouth.
Annie was paralyzed with lust.
“Amelia…”
Her finger slipped from between Amelia’s pouty lips with a wet pop, “don’t want all that good batter to go to waste.”
Annie’s clit ached.
Amelia trailed Annie’s spit–covered finger down her neck until she circled it around her protruding nipples. Annie’s eyes glossed over with arousal at the sensation of Amelia’s stiff, brown nipples prominently visible through her khaki dress.
“Lia…they so hard…”
Annie regained control of her hands. She cupped Amelia’s breasts and caressed them in a circular motion. Amelia jutted her chest out for more, extending her neck and throwing her head back.
Annie exhales, “You so beautiful, Lia. So soft…so delicious…”
“Not as soft and sweet as you, Annie…”
“Yeah?”
“Mhm,” Amelia stared deeply into her eyes, “A big, beautiful woman.”
She couldn’t take it anymore.
Buttons undone, Annie smoothed the opening of the khaki dress from Amelia’s satiny, chestnut skin. Her cup bra gave her melons extra lift, fleshy mounds like soft pillows. One by one, Annie released a breast, and she caved at the sight of Amelia’s wrinkled areola and hardened nipples.
Annie wasted no time flicking her tongue over each bud with speed. She circled her arms around Amelia’s waist and made love to her nipples with her teeth, lips, and tongue. Amelia chewed on the corner of her bottom lip, watching Annie move back and forth between each breast. She picked it up a notch and spit on her nipples before tweaking them.
“Annie, I’m so sticky between my legs…you’re making me so weak…” Amelia cooed.
Annie tugged on Amelia’s nipples while sucking on her neck.
“I bet that fat pussy is nice and messy…I know it taste good…”
Amelia whimpered when Annie went back to sucking her nipples. Annie forced one hand down the front of Amelia’s dress and wiggled her hand into her panties.
Annie popped a titty from her mouth, “Damn, wasn’t lying about how sticky you are…c’mon, quick…”
Annie quickly helped Amelia out of her dress and panties. She guided her to the back porch and pushed her down onto a chaise. Amelia didn’t have time to spread her legs and bring her feet up because Annie beat her to it.
“You seein’ this?” Annie questioned with a quiver.
Amelia dropped her hooded eyes down between her thighs. She couldn’t believe how soaked her folds are. Like a succulent storing water. Annie didn’t waste another minute. She smacked her lips and suckled Amelia’s pussy with urgency.
“You needed this pussy in ya’ mouth again look how good ya’ eating it, Annie…”
Amelia palmed Annie’s head. Annie strummed her clit with the tip of her tongue.
“Fuuuck…oh, shit,” Amelia moans, “Annie…Annie…Annie…”
Annie’s magical hands shoved Amelia’s thighs back to open her up more. She slurped and lapped at her pussy lips and deeper. Not once did she come up for air. Annie dragged her nails down the back of Amelia’s thighs.
“I’m finna’ cum…”
Amelia stuck two fingers in her mouth to suppress her cries of pleasure. Annie sucked her clit like she was sucking the sweetest juices off. Amelia closed her thighs around Annie’s head.
Tumblr media
Smoke remained in the shadows of the Mississippi night and surrounded by evergreen. He had a tight grip on the flowers he’d gotten for Annie. Smoke watched with a twitch of his eyes. Perfectly round and perfectly shaped breasts with brown nipples bounced back and forth. The face of his wife hidden between buttery smooth thighs. The sound of a tongue and the smell of pussy.
His muscles were stiff. Obsidian eyes unblinking. The sharpness of his jaw clenched. Smoke felt all the blood in his veins rush to his dick. Amelia’s face caught the light of the night and it was whimsical. She stroked Annie’s hair affectionately while riding her tongue.
Smoke sensed it. He had a good feeling that Amelia and Annie were fooling around. Now that his suspicions were confirmed, he didn’t know how to handle the way his body felt. A mixture of lust and envy. Lust for the both of them. Lust to taste Amelia off of his wife’s tongue. Lust to join.
Envy because what’s his is on her knees bringing another woman to climax. Envy because whatever they shared, he wanted a piece of. Smoke’s free hand grabbed onto his thick print and squeezed. Tweed material itched his palm. Fuck, he couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. Fuck, he wanted to release his big dick and play with it. The desperation lining his face and the way his tongue smoothed over his teeth, these women sent shockwaves of pleasure through him.
“Annie! I’m cummin’ for you!”
Smoke’s nostrils flared.
“Cum for me, good girl!” Annie praised.
Smoke couldn’t believe the way his dick bulged out.
There was soft laughter followed by Annie surfacing with a wet face and brown eyes drunk with arousal. Amelia cupped her face and flicked her tongue with Annie’s.
“Thank you for that,” Annie kissed Amelia.
“Always,” Amelia spoke against her lips.
They both stood and Annie helped Amelia with her dress. Smoke tip toed away from the yard and pressed his back against the side of the house. He rocked his head back, glancing up at the starry sky. The throb in his dick and balls wouldn’t go away. Kissing his teeth, he drew another cigarette and lit it. His hands shook slightly as he brought it to his full lips.
Amelia.
Her beauty reminded him of a fairy. Something ethereal and magical. Hypnotic. He’d felt it immensely the moment he laid eyes on her. Whatever it is, Annie was under her spell. He’d never known his wife to enjoy some pussy. He had to get himself together before he walked into that house. Shouldn’t be so hard, especially for a gangster with a reputation for violence.
Smoke remained outside for another ten minutes before making his way to the front of the house. He climbed the stairs and twisted the door knob. The door swung open with a creak.
Annie was busy in the kitchen while Amelia plates the table. She wore a different dress, a brightly colored floral dress with a lace–trimmed collar and sleeves. Her long, curly hair was styled in a chic and classic updo with pins. Smoke could tell it was a rush job, because some of the curls framed her face. Amelia’s eyes flicked to Smoke.
Annie looked radiant. She changed into a crushed velvet, dark green dress with chandelier earrings that matched. Her heels click–clacked against the floor boards. Amelia bent over to pick up a cloth that had fallen and the way her backside spread beneath her dress, Smoke’s dick pressed painfully against the seam of his pants. Annie caught his eye and she smiled brightly before making her way over to him. She was wearing her good bra. Those big titties bounced with each step she took.
Smoke gave her a faint smile, holding up the bouquet of flowers. Annie pressed a hand against her bosom and pouted her bottom lip.
“Smoke, these are beautiful!”
Annie accepted the flowers and puckered her lips for a kiss.
“They’re so pretty, Annie,” Amelia said with an elated voice.
Smoke accepted a kiss and then he slipped Annie some tongue. Annie tried to pull away but Smoke placed one strong hand on the back of her neck to keep her tongue in his mouth. The sweet twang of Amelia’s pussy still lingered. Smoke groaned in Annie’s mouth.
Amelia watched them intently while placing silverware on the table. She was absorbed in their intimacy. Smoke caught her eye, staring at her with intensity. Amelia broke her gaze and stroked hair from her face.
He growled.
“Behave,” Annie swatted his bicep, “Dinner is ready. Go clean ya’ hands first.”
Annie turned and Smoke tracked her hips with his eyes.
“Cut all that switchin’ out for I give our guest here a lil’ show.”
That seemed to peak Amelia’s interest. She tried to conceal a smile behind her hand.
“Down, boy,” Annie eyed Smoke up and down.
“Ain’t no boy…”
Smoke tried to stick his fingers in the cornbread. Annie slapped his hand away.
“Go wash ya’ hands, Elijah!”
Smoke pecked Annie’s cheek.
He disappeared to the wash basin.
“Bring anymore wine?” Annie asked.
“Did. It’s on the porch. I’ll go grab some—”
“I got it, Smoke. While you finish washin’ ya’ hands?”
Amelia appeared next to him with an eager smile. Smoke had to collect himself from getting lost in those doe eyes fringed with long lashes.
The very eyes his wife got lost in with a mouth full of pussy.
“Uh, no need, doll. They heavy…”
Smoke wiped his hands on a towel and slipped past Amelia, catching a whiff of her perfume.
Sweet like peaches.
Smoke eyed the table set up, noticing only three plates.
“Shit, forgot to tell ya’ll Stack comin’.”
“No biggie. I’ll put a plate out for ‘em.” Annie replied.
Smoke walked over the threshold and picked up the wooden crate filled with wine and beer. Amelia set up a place for Stack. She walked over to grab an extra chair, but Smoke picked it up before she could. Amelia looked up at him.
“No need, let a man do it.” Smoke said.
“‘Course,” Amelia sauntered back to the table.
Smoke grabbed a bottle of wine.
I’ll put it in the icebox. I know how much you like it chilled.”
Annie brought the food over on serving trays.
Knock knock knock
The door opened.
“Look what the cat dragged in!” Annie said with a laugh.
Tumblr media
Amelia’s eyes danced between both men.
Staring at them both, she could tell they were physically identical.
This Stack man just entered the home with a jovial smile filled with deep dimples and golds on his teeth. His eyes sparkled with mischief and foolery.
Amelia gawked at him.
But…their personalities…their auras…vastly different.
Stack removed his red fedora.
“Annie! Sup witcha, woman?!”
“Stack.” Annie said with a smile.
She opened her arms and Stack hugged her tightly.
“Big bro,” Stack dabbed Smoke before pulling him in for a one–armed hug. They did a slick handshake and glided back into a snap, “Woooo, good to see ya’.”
“Just saw ya’ earlier,” Smoke said.
Stack took off his suit jacket and hung it on a coat rack near the front door. His playful, lively eyes fell on Amelia.
Amelia gave Stack a shy wave. Stack strode forward, dapper gait drawing her in.
“Well, well,” Stack nibbled on the toothpick between his teeth and dragged his eyes over Amelia’s frame from head to toe with a tilt of his head, “Who this here, Annie?”
“My friend, Amelia,” Annie’s arm circled Amelia’s waist, “She came all this way from New Orleans to work wit’ me. I’m teachin’ her all I know about hoodoo.”
“She talk?” Stack questions with his brows pinched together and a twitch of his upper lip.
Smoke chuckled low, shaking his head at his brothers antics, “Chill now, Stack.”
“I’m only askin’.”
Stack held his hand out in greeting. Amelia eyed his hand with a slight lift of her brow before extending her hand with the back facing up. Stack wrapped his fingers around her.
“Amelia, huh?
“That’s right.”
Stack pushed the toothpick between his teeth to the side of his mouth. Cute little voice. Sounding like a princess in those fairytales.
“So, you do talk?”
Stack removed his toothpick and leaned in. With her hand still within his grasp, Stack puckered his plump lips and pecked Amelia’s hand like a true gentleman.
“Nice to meet ya’ gorgeous. Hope the Delta treatin’ you right.”
“Is. Thanks to Annie.”
Amelia smiled brightly. Stack stroked the back of her hand with his thumb before finally letting her go. Amelia fiddled with her fingers, darting her eyes away bashfully before swaying over to the table.
Smoke caught his brother’s eye.
Annie cleared her throat.
“Oh, let me clean these hands off.” Stack said.
He walked past the table, rubbing his hands together and licking his lips at the sight of all the food. Smoke pulled out Annie’s chair, and with one hand he pulled out Amelia’s chair. She curtsied before taking her seat. Stack finally joined them, unbuttoning the sleeves to his white shirt and rolling them up his forearms.
“Catfish, collard greens, cornbread, DAMN.”
They each took turns filling their plates.
“Amelia cooked the collards,” Annie shot her friend a look followed by a smile.
“Did she now? Let’s see what we got here…”
Stack and Smoke forked the collards in unison, not even realizing it. Amelia’s eyes danced between them with fascination. Smoke chewed slowly, eyes fixed on Amelia. Stack chewed with his eyes closed, shook his head, followed by a hum of delight.
“Baby girl…you put ya’ foot in this! Gahdamn…”
Annie nudged Amelia with her elbow. Amelia beamed.
Smoke nodded his head before scraping the side of his upper teeth with his tongue.
“They good, Amelia. Real good.”
Amelia twirled the fork in her hand with pride.
“Thank you, Smoke,” She glanced over at his twin, “Stack…”
“Forgot the wine…”
Smoke stood.
“You put a beer in there, Smoke?!”
“I gotcha,” Smoke continued out onto the front porch to grab the drinks.
Stack scarfed down the collards first, fork scraping the plate. Smoke returned and opened the wine, pouring the ladies two glasses full. He unscrewed the cap on the beer for Stack, sliding it across the table where his twin brother caught it with precision.
“Everythang alright, Annie?” Stack asked.
“Better,” Annie locked eyes with her husband, “happy you two made it back in one piece.”
Smoke cut into his catfish with his fork. He added a little hot sauce to it.
“I bet Chicago is nice,” Amelia chimed in, “skyscrapers, broadway…”
“Look nice. Still just the same as the south.” Stack said.
“Did you two stop by to see Sammie?” Annie asked.
Smoke nodded his head, “He good. Still got that guitar we gave ‘em. Daddy doin’ right by ‘em.”
Amelia nibbled on her cornbread drizzled with honey and butter. Stack cleared his plate and sat back to enjoy his beer. He couldn’t help but stare at Amelia. She could feel his eyes on her, looking across the table at him with a piece of cornbread between her fingers and hovering over her pouty lips.
“Amelia. Got a last name?” Stack questions.
“Broussard.”
“Pretty…”
Amelia coaxed the piece of cornbread into her mouth with her tongue. Stack continued to lay on the charm with his deep dimples and attentive eyes. He took a swig of beer as he stared down Amelia like she was the only person who existed.
Smoke glanced between the two of them, fingers digging into his pocket for a cigarette. He grabbed his last one and lit it. Annie sipped her wine and smiled at her husband. Smoke caught her looking and winked at her. Annie placed her hand on his thigh, caressing it.
“We never crossed paths?” Stack questioned Amelia with an expression of betrayal.
“No, Stack,” Amelia giggled genuinely, “Never.”
“You sure,” Stack pointed at her with a finger decorated with a gold ring, “Damn shame. Can’t believe this my first time seeing ya’. Annie, you been keepin’ her to ya’ self?”
Annie gave Stack a coy smile and then locked eyes with Amelia. Both of them looked away quickly, but Smoke was paying attention. He knew everything. She definitely is keeping Amelia to herself. Smoke leaned in to whisper in Annie’s ear.
“You got explaining to do later, baby…”
Annie cocked her head back and dropped her eyes to Smoke’s lips.
“Not as much explaining as you do, Smoke.” She quipped with a roll of her eyes.
Stack filled Amelia’s mason jar with more wine.
“Thank you kindly.”
“Anytime…”
Stack swept his hands down the front of his chest slowly, Amelia shyly pulled her attention to the last bit of food on her plate.
She loved Stack’s energy.
It excites her.
Some time passed and Duke Ellington Orchestra filled the drawing room. While Annie perched her big booty on Smoke’s lap, Stack twirled Amelia around like a merry go round, her dress spinning as she moved. Stack could jive! Amelia grabbed both of his hands and flailed her legs, laughed at Stack’s silly faces, and shook her hips.
Annie tapped her foot to the music. Smoke bobbed his head. Annie’s gyrating in his lap awoke the beast. He looked up at her. Annie felt him poking her rump. She picked up the pace of her hips, teasing him more.
“Annie…”
“What? You sticking me in the ass wit’ that dick.”
“Keep movin’ on me I can’t help it.” Smoke whispered.
“I felt that,” Annie was referring to Smoke making his dick jump, “Elijah…”
There was warning in her voice.
Stack exhaled, wiping sweat from his grow. Amelia fanned herself. Stack held Amelia’s waist as they swayed, hips pressed to each other’s and twin smiles on their faces.
“You the best fuckin’ dancer I ever seen.” Stack said.
“Aren’t you sweet,” Amelia bopped Stack on the nose with her finger, “And you a good time.”
“I try. Gotta make the most outta life with all the other bullshit goin’ on.” Stack replied.
Amelia snaked her arms around Stack’s shoulders.
“You got the sweetest eyes…mind if I call you Princess?”
Amelia chewed on her bottom lip and smoothed her hands down Stack’s chest.
“How much Irish beer you drank?” Amelia asked with a teasing smile, “that liquor got you sweet on me.”
“Not enough,” Stack peeled away from Amelia, “Let me grab some mo’!”
Amelia shook her head at Stack.
Smoke and Annie were dancing now. Amelia took a seat to cool off and removed her shoes. She massaged her left heel and flexed her toes painted red. Stack sought her out and took a seat next to her with a new beer. He slouched in his seat and swung his legs.
Smoke and Annie shared a passionate kiss in the middle of a slow waltz.
Amelia moved her hands up the back of her legs while flexing her ankles. Stack’s eyes were focused on her movements, studying her pretty toes.
“Take a picture. It’ll last longer,” Amelia teased.
“I’d take pictures of you any day. I got a camera back home.”
“So, photography ya’ hobby when you ain’t robbing banks and trains?”
Stack smirked with a single dimple.
“Sum’ like that. Whatchu like to do?”
Amelia pondered, “Reading. I love escaping from reality. Picture myself in a castle in the tallest tower…or going on an adventure…or falling in love…”
Stack studied Amelia. His beer was halfway through.
“We all need a lil’ break from the real, ya’ know?” Stack said.
“Yeah,” Amelia nudged Stack’a shoulder, “If ya’ ever need a good book to read, I’m ya’ girl.”
Stack licked his lips, “I’ll hold you to it, Princess.”

Stack and Smoke shared a cigarette on the front porch while talking closely to each other.
Annie and Amelia had just finished cleaning up. Amelia yawned into her hand. She felt lightweight and relaxed from all the wine.
“Had fun tonight?” Annie asked.
“It was wonderful, Annie. Best time in a long while.”
Amelia wiped her hands off with a towel while staring at the twins in deep concentration.
“Ya’ like Stack?”
Amelia looked at Annie, “He’s a good time. And he’s handsome.”
Annie glanced towards the door. Smoke and Stack had their backs turned. Annie slithered her way over to Amelia, dropping her head to her ear to whisper.
“Careful wit’ ‘em Moore men. They’ll turn your world upside down.”
Annie’s warm breath ghosted across Amelia’s cheek. It made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She kept her eyes forward.
“And it’s been a while since Nathaniel had ya’ right?”
Amelia clenched her thighs together.
Annie pecked Amelia on the cheek.
“Get you some rest. I’ll see ya’ in the morning.”
“Night, Annie.” Amelia said.
Annie disappeared into her room. Smoke heard the door shut and walked back inside followed by Stack. Stack shut the door behind him. Both men stared at Amelia. Smoke with an unreadable expression and Stack with a flirty smile. She looked away before heading to her room.
“I see ya’ later brother—”
“No, no, no. It’s late stay here.”
“I be aight—”
“Stack. Keep yo’ ass here, understand? Ya’ had too much to drink.”
Stack kissed his teeth, “Then where I’m a sleep, fool? On this hard as floor? In the truck? In your room—”
“Nigga—”
“You can sleep in my room.”
Smoke and Stack looked down at Amelia.
“There’s extra blankets and a pillow.”
“Hm,” Smoke eyed Amelia from head to toe, “See? Now ya’ got an excuse to stay.”
Smoke tapped Stack’s shoulder before backing away to his room. He left his twin brother and Amelia standing there.
Stack was wearing his white button shirt tucked into his pinstriped slacks. The first few buttons on his shirt were undone. A chain hung from his neck with a tiny circular dog tag from WWI. The same one Smoke wore.
“Well,” Stack ushered Amelia towards the room with his hand, “Lead the way, Princess.”
Amelia took slow strides towards the room. Inside, she grabbed extra blankets and one of the pillows from the bed.
“Aye, I got this,” Stack piled the blankets on the floor with the pillow, “I’ll give ya’ a second to change.”
Stack left the room and shut the door. Amelia opened the wardrobe in the room and picked out a lavender chemise with a matching robe. She undressed quickly, slipping on the chemise.
“Stack, you can come in,” Amelia climbed into bed.
The door opened and Stack peeked inside.
“All decent, Princess?”
“Yes,” Amelia slipped beneath the sheets.
Stack walked in, took off his shoes, and his shirt. Amelia chewed on her lip while her eyes swept over Stack’s burly frame. Bulging biceps, a thick yet toned torso, defined pecs. Stack tossed his shirt over a chair in the room and lowered to the floor. He was lying on his back and staring at the ceiling. Amelia turned off the kerosene lamp, bathing the room in mostly darkness.
“Goodnight, Stack.” Amelia said.
“Sweet dreams, Princess.”
On the other side of the house, Annie watched her husband strip down to his underwear, the fabric of his boxer shorts riding up his well–muscled thighs. His mojo bag sat between his pecs along with dog tags that mirrored Stacks. He tied a pressing cap over his hair to make the brush wave style Stack did last longer.
Annie wore a champagne–colored night gown that left little support for her large and heavy breasts, but it was breathable. Her hair was wrapped in a white scarf. Smoke sat on the edge of the bed. Annie got onto her knees behind him, massaging his shoulders.
“What explaining I gotta do, Elijah?” Annie asked.
Smoke shut his eyes and licked his lips with one swipe of his tongue.
“You sure Amelia just your Hoodoo apprentice, baby?”
Annie huffed, “What? Whatchu mean?”
“Ya’ know what I mean, Annie.”
Annie paused.
“…Smoke…”
Smoke looked up at Annie over his shoulder. Annie couldn’t hold his gaze.
“…How you find out?” Annie questioned with a tremble of her voice.
Smoke didn’t respond right away.
“I heard ya’ name, baby. I heard her moaning ya’ name. Then I saw it…I saw you tongue deep in her cooze…”
Annie’s eyes darted to the floor. She slipped her hands away and sat back on her knees. Smoke stood from the bed, facing her.
“How many times?”
Smoke folded his arms over his chest.
Annie shut her eyes slow.
“Three.” She revealed.
Smoke cocked his head.
“You fuck her three times, Annie?”
“Yes…I did,” Annie fiddled with her fingers, “It just—”
“I neva knew you to cheat on me, let alone wit’ a woman?”
Smoke shook his head in disbelief.
What Annie did next surprised him.
She laughed. Smoke furrowed his brows.
“Oh, Elijah,” Annie shook her head between laughs, “You left me for seven years. What did you think I was gon’ do?”
“I came back to you! I love you!” Smoke fired back.
He lowered his voice.
“Stop. Just stop it, Smoke. Ya’ like it.”
“Huh?” Smoke curled his top lip.
“Ya’ heard me. That’s why ya’ kissed me like that before dinner. Ya’ wanted to taste her.”
Smoke shifted his head and shoulders.
“I coulda’ put a root on that dick but I didn’t. Don’t stand there all tough and shit. I know you.”
Annie stood, walking up to Smoke. She got in his face with her hands on her hips.
“Say it. Ya’ like it.” Annie pressed.
“Annie—”
Annie cut him off, “Ya’ wanna play games, I can play wit ya’. Admit to it, ya’ liked seeing me eat her pussy…ya’ liked the way she reacted to it…ya’ like me being wit’ another woman.”
Smoke growled. He wasn’t trying to give in. Annie pressed up on him, never backing down, eyes glued to his.
“Say. It. Nigga.” Annie pressed with sass.
Smoke clenched his jaw. Annie lowered her searing gaze down between her husband’s legs. She almost whimpered. Thick dick twisted to the side in his boxer shorts and poking out the bottom. A big dick.
“…Fine,” Smoke stared her in the eyes, “Yeah. Yeah. I liked it.”
Annie tilted her head, “Wasn’t so hard, now…was it?”
Smoke clenched his shaky hands.
“Shit,” Smoke glared at Annie, “The way you looked…”
Annie placed her hand on Smoke’s chest. She glided it down his body until she was cuffing his dick. It seemed to pulsate in her hand. Annie curled her fingers around his shaft through his boxer shorts. Smoke worried his brows and parted his full lips.
“How did I look, Papa?” Annie whispered seductively.
“So sexy…”
Smoke grabbed Annie’s face and pressed his lips against hers. Their tongues swirled in a sloppy manner. Smoke lowered the straps to her night gown and Annie pulled his boxer shorts down until it fell around his ankles. Smoke stepped out of them, standing before Annie in all his naked glory.
“You actin’ all upset. For what?”
Annie dropped to her knees. Smoke’s big dick was pointed out and curved to the left. Annie looked up at her husband and then wrapped a warm hand around him, stroking him with a twist of her wrist.
“Alls you had to do was be real wit’ me, Elijah.”
Annie tongued the pre cum from his tip. Smoke placed his hands on Annie’s shoulders. He bowed his head to watch her, bottom lip wedged between his teeth.
“You know I’m right,” Annie dragged her tongue along the side of his shaft, “Don’t ya’?”
“Yeah,” Smoke licked his lips, “Stop teasing me, baby…”
Annie wrapped her lips around Smoke’s big dick and fit him all the way down her throat. Annie began sucking, down to the base and back to the tip. She tightened her jaws and rolled her neck to get a good rhythm. Smoke groaned deeply, hand on Annie’s head. Smoke tilted her head back a little so he could fuck her throat with slow, deliberate strokes.
“Fuck, Annie…deep throat on you…”
She was sucking on his pipe and looking him dead in his eyes.
Annie’s sucking made loud, wet sounds and left saliva all over her chin down to her chest.
“Damn,” Smoke could cum from how good it felt, “I wanna eat your pussy.”
Smoke slipped out of Annie’s mouth, dick dripping with spit and throbbing. Deep veins like loving trails for Annie’s tongue. Smoke picked Annie up and put her on her stomach. Annie arched her back and Smoke got down on his knees. He spread Annie’s big cheeks, keeping her open with a firm grip. He caught a whiff of that cooze and almost drooled down his chin.
“So beautiful…so beautiful.”
Smoke rubbed his face in it.
Smoke slobbered all over it.
Smoke sucked to his heart’s desire.
Smoke spanked those cheeks.
Annie was a moaning mess. She couldn’t form words, only sounds.
“Mm…oof…unh…ooo…ahhh…”
Smoke flipped her over. He pushed Annie’s thighs back so far her titties sat beneath her chin. Annie watched Smoke between her fat titties and round belly. He tongue fucked her, got his nose up in it, munched on it all with his eyes on her. Annie’s toes curled at the way his fluffy lips sucked on her clit.
“Smoke!”
She was loud, and she didn’t give a damn.
He ate her pussy up.
Smoke surfaced. He fisted his dick and then pointed it at Annie’s gushy.
“Had my dick so fuckin’ stiff—”
Smoke pushed in and started stroking. Annie watched Smoke’s hips grind, loving his stroke and how it pressed deep to make her cream.
“I’m creaming it, huh?” Smoke slapped her titties.
“Papa!”
“Uh-huh…”
Annie’s titties swayed in a circular motion. Smoke had her thighs out the way. Annie had nowhere to run. He looked up staring into the mirror situated in the corner. A slow smirk painted his lips. Sharp, calculated strokes had Annie gripping him with her walls.
“Cum on Papa’s dick, baby…”
Annie’s eyes crossed. Smoke’s mojo bag dangled in her face.
“Fuck, Annie! This good pussy!”
Smoke’s hips stuttered out of control. The bed creaked from the withering springs. Smoke shot off a thick nut deep inside of Annie’s womb. He propped himself up, staring down at her as sweat dripped onto her. Annie was experiencing an orgasmic high.
“Just what I needed,” Annie opened her eyes to stare at her husband, “I love you, Smoke.”
Smoke grabbed Annie’s hand that was stroking his face and kissed it.
“I love ya’, baby. I’m not mad about Amelia.”
“Ya’ sure?”
“I is,” Smoke leaned forward to kiss Annie, “Just a lil’ jealous. She got ya’ under a spell, baby. Three times?”
Annie giggles, “It’s that good. She tasted good on my tongue?”
Smoke responded with his lips sucking on Annie’s titties.
“I take it that’s a yes?”
Annie lifted Smoke’s face.
“She gon’ be here a while, Smoke…”
Annie thumbed Smoke’s bottom lip.
“…Then we give her a proper welcome.”
Annie’s eyes lit up.
Smoke let Annie up to get dressed. He decided to sleep naked. Annie turned off the kerosene lamp and Smoke settled behind her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her against his front. Annie’s backside snuggled against his dick. The pale moonlight bathed their bodies, the sweat on their dark skin glistening.

New disaster education graphic! Had to split it in half so tumblr wouldn't TOTALLY eat the quality. I'm going to put the full, unsplit version beneath a cut so if you want to share this graphic you can grab the whole one or the two halves, whichever works for you. As always, my disaster graphics can be shared anywhere on the internet that isn't making a profit, as long as my credit remains intact at the bottom! If you would like to license a physical or paid use of them, reach out to me on my website.
I've seen a lot of graphics about defensible space over the years, but I've never really seen one that does a good job of also explaining WHY the recommendations are what they are, so I've been wanting to make a graphic that dug into the why.
Alt text is also below the cut!
Alt text: Two halves of a single infographic. The background is dark gray. The top text reads "Why Does Defensible Space Matter?" in large yellow text. Below that is the text "When it comes to protecting your home from a wildfire, having defensible space around your home is one of the best things you can do. But why?" in black. Below that is the text "Wildfires move in three main ways:" in white.
Next there are three rectangles in a lighter gray, stacked one on top of the other. Each has a diagram of a small house on the edge of a forest. There are decorations on the porch, firewood on the porch, leaf litter on the roof, overgrown grass, trees growing right up next to the house, bushes, and the forest is crowded and overgrown.
In the top box, there is a fire moving along the ground, and the box is labeled as "Along the ground." In the second box the fire is moving through the tops of the trees, and the box is labeled, "through the crowns of trees." The third box shows a distance fire with lots of little embers being blown through the air, labeled as "Through the air via embers."
After that is the text, "The goal of defensible space is to make changes that impede each of these types of movement" in white.
Below that are the same three boxes as above, but each one shows changes you can make to impede one of these types of movement. The changes are listed under the box in a numbered list, with the numbers also in the diagram where those changes are reflected in the art.
The first box is labeled as "Impede ground movement" and has the following items listed:
Create a five foot zone around your home with no burnables using gravel, pavers, or other hardscaping.
Keep grass trimmed and well maintained in a thirty foot radius around your home.
Keep ground plants other than grass to a minimum and well spaced out.
Trim low hanging branches to prevent a ground fire from accessing higher portions of the tree.
The second box is labeled as "Impede Crown Movement" and has the following items listed:
Remove trees hanging over the roof and close to the home.
Thin trees within One-Hundred Feet of the home to reduce movement of flames between them.
The third box is labeled as "Remove Anything that can trap embers" and has the following items listed:
Clean debris such as leaves from off the roof of and around your home.
Do not store firewood or lumber near your home.
Keep combustible decorations That can trap embers close to your home to a minimum.
After that is a larger version of the house, but redecorated in a more fire safe manner. The door has been painted purple, there are plants visible inside through the window, and the outdoor decorations are made of non-combustible materials. After the house is the text "There are still plenty of ways to make your home your own while being fire safe!" in white.
Below that in a rectangle is the text "For more information on defensible space and how to create it around your home, visit: https://www.fire.ca.gov/dspace for a more in depth breakdown of how to protect each zone around your home."
The last text on the poster reads "If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety, call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources. Poster created by Katy L. Wood ● www.Katy-L-Wood.com"

Ellipsus Digest: March 18
Each week (or so), we'll highlight the relevant (and sometimes rage-inducing) news adjacent to writing and freedom of expression.
This week: AI continues its hostile takeover of creative labor, Spain takes a stand against digital sludge, and the usual suspects in the U.S. are hard at work memory-holing reality in ways both dystopian and deeply unserious.
ChatGPT firm reveals AI model that is “good at creative writing” (The Guardian)
... Those quotes are working hard.
OpenAI (ChatGPT) announced a new AI model trained to emulate creative writing—at least, according to founder Sam Altman: “This is the first time i have been really struck by something written by AI.” But with growing concerns over unethically scraped training data and the continued dilution of human voices, writers are asking… why? 
Spoiler: the result is yet another model that mimics the aesthetics of creativity while replacing the act of creation with something that exists primarily to generate profit for OpenAI and its (many) partners—at the expense of authors whose work has been chewed up, swallowed, and regurgitated into Silicon Valley slop.
Spain to impose massive fines for not labeling AI-generated content (Reuters)
But while big tech continues to accelerate AI’s encroachment on creative industries, Spain (in stark contrast to the U.S.) has drawn a line: In an attempt to curb misinformation and protect human labor, all AI-generated content must be labeled, or companies will face massive fines. As the internet is flooded with AI-written text and AI-generated art, the bill could be the first of many attempts to curb the unchecked spread of slop.
Besos, España 💋
These words are disappearing in the new Trump administration (NYT)
Project 2025 is moving right along—alongside dismantling policies and purging government employees, the stage is set for a systemic erasure of language (and reality). Reports show that officials plan to wipe government websites of references to LGBTQ+, BIPOC, women, and other communities—words like minority, gender, Black, racism, victim, sexuality, climate crisis, discrimination, and women have been flagged, alongside resources for marginalized groups and DEI initiatives, for removal.
It’s a concentrated effort at creating an infrastructure where discrimination becomes easier… because the words to fight it no longer officially exist. (Federally funded educational institutions, research grants, and historical archives will continue to be affected—a broader, more insidious continuation of book bans, but at the level of national record-keeping, reflective of reality.) Doubleplusungood, indeed.
Pete Hegseth’s banned images of “Enola Gay” plane in DEI crackdown (The Daily Beast)
Fox News pundit-turned-Secretary of Defense-slash-perpetual-drunk-uncle Pete Hegseth has a new target: banning educational materials featuring the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. His reasoning: that its inclusion in DEI programs constitutes "woke revisionism." If a nuke isn’t safe from censorship, what is?
The data hoarders resisting Trump’s purge (The New Yorker)
Things are a little shit, sure. But even in the ungoodest of times, there are people unwilling to go down without a fight.
Archivists, librarians, and internet people are bracing for the widespread censorship of government records and content. With the Trump admin aiming to erase documentation of progressive policies and minority protections, a decentralized network is working to preserve at-risk information in a galvanized push against erasure, refusing to let silence win.
Let us know if you find something other writers should know about, (or join our Discord and share it there!) Until next week, - The Ellipsus Team xo

I and some other sewists and fiber artists were featured in Teen Vogue recently!! It’s really wild seeing how my tiny little punk sewing circle has been reaching people around my city :) You can read the article here!!! I wanted to talk a bit more about my reasoning for doing this stitch ‘n’ bitch event on tumblr since i get a lot of inspiration here. :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve been hosting a monthly Stitch ‘n’ Bitch crafting circle since August of 2024. I haven’t quite hit a year yet, but it has been a blast so far!! Every month I bring sewing supplies (scrap cloth, needles, thread, embroidery floss, scissors, pins, buttons, other shit i can get my hands on), zines, and my own DIY mending know-how and attitude to help people mend their clothes. We set up in a local DIY punk record shop in Denver, CO, with help and promotion from Aliyah Wallace and her local art club meetup group, Artists in Sync.
I’ve been on tumblr for fandom stuff for a minute, but it’s really only been since 2021 that I got into visible mending and solarpunk. I’ve been really inspired by the solarpunk and visible mending communities on tumblr. In particular, I’ve gotten a lot out of following @wastelesscrafts , @solarpunkactionweek , @solarpunkani , @mossyvida , @fennopunk , @obsob @mildmayfoxe @claypigeonpottery @plantyhamchuk @theenbyroiderer and probably a whole bunch of other people i’ve been quietly following but not saying anything to for four years. Not everyone listed here may consider themselves ‘solarpunk’ per se, but they’re people who’ve inspired my art and my desire to share a better world with my community.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I get to make and sell cool textile art, but what I really love is being able to show people how to do stuff like this. All of these embroidery stitches are fairly simple (if repetitive), most of these were made with hand-sewing, and all of it comes from thrifted materials. It also looks pretty cool!!! I like wearing clothing that I made just for me, and I know it’s something that would make other people feel great about their clothes and their body.
If your clothes are falling apart, it is not your fault a million times over - the push for more clothing, more styles, more trends, at faster rates, all for more and more of a profit has destroyed the quality of our garments. Fabrics are made of plastic and made poorly to boot. The people working in sweatshop clothing factories are being forced to turn out products faster and faster, with no real increase in pay, benefits, or ability to add the kinds of finishings that make clothes last longer. You’re overworked and underpaid, and it’s easier to buy new clothing than it is to try to eke out time in your jam-packed day to fix the holes in your shirt. It’s easier to keep you trapped in that shitty job if you don’t know your neighbors, if you are constantly trying to hold your life together under solely your own power (or maybe yours and that of a partner, if you’re lucky). It’s easier to miss the effects of the clothes you wear and discard because they are quietly shuffled away from you.
I started to learn how to embroider because embroidery floss is cheap, frequently boldly colored, easier for my sweet sweet nearsighted eyes to see, and it produces the kind of free-form, messy art I love. I was hooked into visible mending VERY soon after beginning my embroidery journey because hey! I can put art on my clothes! Why would I not want more of that? It was an act of caring for myself and my loved ones - I want that sweater you love to be with you longer, I want to put little flowers and suns and butterflies on your clothes for you, I want those jeans that makes your ass look awesome to last for another decade. I don’t want to buy new underwear. I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY NEW UNDERWEAR.
But my clothes are mine: I have little pieces of evidence of my love for myself and my clothes on more and more of my wardrobe. The pre-distressed overall shorts I found now have autumnally-colored vines chasing up and down the patches I added. The boxer briefs I got when I got rid of all my old girl clothes and replaced them with something that made me feel at home in my body are still with me, with colorful little darns overlapping. The first band shirt I ever got and outgrew a long time ago is salvaged and is now paired with another shirt with another piece of art I love. I pay attention to the clothes of my friends and my lovers and I can give them something that will be with them for as long as they keep their clothes - for longer, even, if they are passed on.
And I don’t need to hoard that. It would be antithetical. For every person I teach a ladder stitch, that’s so many shirts and pants and skirts and jackets that will last just a bit longer. For every mending kit I hand out, someone will keep their favorite shoes for another year. It saves money, it keeps trash out of landfills, it takes back power from the ghouls who would have us licking their feet for table scraps. But most of all, repairing something you love makes it even more yours. To be loved is to be changed. To be cared for is to leave your mark and wear others’, forever.

TLDR; All of Quindrie Press' profits from our November PDF sales will be donated to queer and racial equality charities. Browse at www.quindriepress.com/pdfs 🐉
The world is scary and keeps getting scarier. It's easy to look at America and say it would never happen here, but far-right ideology has already taken root in the UK and we cannot allow it to continue. Please stand up for the friends and neighbours whose lives are at risk the longer we stand by and let hatred spread unchecked: queer people, disabled people, people of colour.
I'm doing what little I can to support my community and loved ones. Every month, Quindrie Press donates a portion of its PDF sales to charities or organisations dedicated to supporting marginalised communities in Scotland. This month, alongside November's charity (TIE Campaign, a charity sharing LGBTQ education with Scottish schools), all of Quindrie Press' profits from PDF sales will go towards Refuweegee (a Glasgow-based organisation supporting forcibly-displaced people) and the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (a charity working to eliminate racial discrimination and harrassment in Scotland).
If you don't want to pick up any of the Quindrie comics, consider donating an equivalent amount to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund to support the victims of a genocide that the UK is complicit in.
Look into who your local councillors are and write to them about the issues that matter to you. Support movements and campaigns that seek to make a difference. Put yourself in harm's way for the people whose very existence is under threat. Even if it's scary, we have to keep going.

Hello again im the person who asked for the seraphim reader shshs I REALLY REALLY LOVE YOUR WRITING ONG😭😭😭
Im asking again if ya dont mind if you do mine again👉👈 will you do reader as that cat from caroline that always disappeared and have the same attitude as that cat (i forgot the name💔) with Jade, Azul, Jamil. Right what scenarios you can imagine dont mind T v T..
Jade, Azul, Jamil with a 'The Cat'! Reader
hi! thanks for the request <3 (also the cat doesn't have a name iirc, isn't he just "the cat"?)
Tumblr media
Jade Leech
Jade, with his poised and enigmatic demeanor, actually enjoys your elusive nature—but that doesn’t mean he’s not intrigued by it. Whenever you slip away from conversations, he’s one of the few who doesn’t immediately react, just giving you a knowing look. He catches on quickly that your disappearances are deliberate, and he plays along, responding with subtle jabs that mirror your own humor.
"I do wonder, where have you been lurking this time? The ceiling? The rafters?" Jade’s tone is teasing, his eyes twinkling like he’s in on a private joke only the two of you share.
You appear behind him without a sound, leaning close enough to whisper, “Maybe I never left.”
Jade doesn’t flinch—he’s used to your antics by now—but there’s a slight quirk of his eyebrow that tells you you’ve gotten under his skin just enough. “Careful, or I might follow next time.”
“If you can,” you reply, your voice full of that Cheshire-like amusement, before disappearing again—though you know he’ll catch up soon enough.
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto
Azul finds your habit of appearing and disappearing at will infuriatingly fascinating. You’re always there when he least expects it, often chiming in with sarcastic remarks that leave him rattled. As the sharp, business-minded octopus he is, he tries his best to maintain control in any situation. But with you, his usual composure is constantly tested.
One day, you’re lounging lazily across his desk, legs swinging off the edge, watching him fumble through contracts. “Careful, Azul. Miss a clause, and it’s your soul next.”
Azul nearly jumps out of his chair, gripping his quill a little too tightly. “How did you get in here? This office is private!”
You simply grin, your voice smooth. “Doors are for people who can’t make their own entrances.”
He huffs, straightening his glasses. “If you’re here to disrupt my business, you’ll need to schedule an appointment like everyone else.”
“Or,” you say, your figure already fading into thin air as you lazily wave a hand, “I’ll just pop in when it’s most inconvenient.”
Azul groans, but you know deep down he’s already thinking of ways to turn your strange talent into a profitable venture.
Tumblr media
Jamil Viper
Jamil is hard to surprise, but you’ve perfected the art of doing just that. No matter how calculated his moves are, you always manage to show up when he’s most stressed, casually inserting yourself into the situation with a smug, knowing look that drives him mad.
One evening, while Jamil is in the middle of strategizing, you suddenly appear on the counter, legs crossed, watching him as if you’ve been there the entire time. “Why so tense, Viper? Afraid someone might be... watching?”
Jamil freezes for half a second, then glares at you. “I knew you were there. You’re just trying to unsettle me.”
You grin wider, stretching like a lazy feline. “If you knew, you wouldn’t look so rattled. You humans are always so easy to predict.”
He sighs, clearly not in the mood for your games, but there’s a flicker of exasperated fondness in his eyes. “If you’re not here to help, at least don’t get in my way.”
You disappear once more, your voice echoing behind. “Maybe I’m helping more than you realize.”
Jamil shakes his head but smirks slightly, knowing you’ll pop up again at the worst possible time. He’s already preparing for it, even if he knows you’ll always keep him on his toes.

Hello Tracy, I've been a fan of Lackadaisy since the webcomic days and want to ask a quick question regarding Patreon. I'm also an indie creative myself and currently trying to raise funds for a show I'm working on. What are the best ways to market myself online, and what are some ways to obtain money for the production of merchandise that doesn't involve crowdfunding?
Any specific advice I could give about marketing oneself online at this point would be pretty outdated. I started making Lackadaisy years back, when the internet had a rather different geography and culture. DeviantArt was where all the art kids were. That is, of course, no longer the case.
My generalized advice, though, would be to start working on your project, start sharing it in some form, even if it's just concept art or experiments at this phase, and start building an audience. Nothing speaks to the quality and appeal of whatever it is you're making like the thing itself does. Pick your poisons, as far as social media goes, but probably don't focus solely on one. Platforms don't remain useful or pleasant places to be forever. Set up an avenue for viewers to support you (Patreon, Ko-fi, or something like it), but don't expect supporters to come flooding in all at once. The internet is awash with so many creators and shows and influencers and distractions, it's hard to make waves. Tenacity will be your ally, though. You are likely going to be pursuing your project on the side and possibly working at a loss for a while as you build. Keep things small scale, especially if you're working solo, or with a small team of people. Audience growth and support may eventually start allowing you to expand your ambitions. It's important to do the thing you're doing out of love for the art, for the project itself, for the experience of doing it, and not because you're expecting rounds of applause, accolades, and money to come rushing at you. There's no guarantee that last part will happen...so at least make sure you're having fun doing whatever you're doing.
----------------
About merchandise --
You can incur the upfront cost of producing, say, a small run of enamel pins. Sell them on your own shop storefront or offer them to supporters at certain tier levels and see how long it takes to earn back the production cost such that you start earning a little bit of profit. Get a feel for how well you can handle packaging and shipping things yourself. Test the waters before making any large merch orders, and don't order vast amounts of something that you don't have room to 'warehouse' in your own home.
You can go the print on demand route. It's got its drawbacks - like slim returns - but it allows you to offer an assortment of merch items without the huge risk of paying big manufacturing fees upfront. It can also do the fulfillment/shipping part for you. I did pretty okay selling prints this way for a time. (Research and be selective about what services you use here, though. Some have gotten markedly worse over the years.)
I know Patreon offers a subscription level for creators that includes some merch production and fulfillment. I haven't personally used it, though, so I'd ask around to see what other creators' experiences have been like with it.
One thing I would suggest relying more heavily on, especially at first, is digital/downloadable rewards, like PDF ebooks or digital sketchbooks - things like that. Shipping supplies and postage costs are ever-increasing and can easily end up putting you in the red. Also, if you have an international audience, it may be difficult to reach them with tangible merch items.
You might also check out some nearby conventions to see if they'd be a good fit for you and your project. Apply for artist alley space at one of them if that's appropriate, or investigate whether or not it'd be worth it to get a dealer table. You might even find someone willing to share dealer space with you for a trial-run.
At some point, when you have enough of an audience to warrant it, seek out a merch partner. Or, they might come scouting for you if they think you have something going that'd be soundly marketable.

How @tigreblvnc Gains Engagement from Artists Without Proper Credit (19/2/25)
Tumblr media
Helloo, it’s Yoko (@yolkochan), and I’m an artist in the bllkblr community. I believe in the importance of properly crediting creators, not just for ethical reasons but because artists deserve recognition for their work. 
Unfortunately, there are people who consistently repost artwork without giving artists proper credit, benefiting from the engagement while the original creators remain overlooked. This post highlights one such case—@tigreblvnc(Tetsuo/Suo)— who has repeatedly done this more times than I can count.
This problem has been recently brought to my attention by multiple people in this community. As a professional artist myself, I feel a responsibility to call out this pattern and raise awareness about why proper crediting matters. Despite knowing that I may lose some followers due to this post.
(20/2/25 Edit: @tigreblvnc has deleted his blog 5 hours after the release of this post. Sooo….)
I do not condone the harassment of anyone mentioned within this post.
@tigreblvnc is a well-known blogger in the Blue Lock Tumblr community, frequently analyzing characters like Michael Kaiser and reposting fanart. However, his repeated failure to properly credit artists has raised serious concerns. Instead of clearly naming artists in the captions, he relies on small, greyed-out “source” links that are easy to miss. As a result, he continues to gain thousands of likes and reblogs from art that isn’t his—without giving artists the recognition they deserve.
Below are multiple examples demonstrating this pattern.
Evidence of Improper Crediting
Examples of what someone would see when scrolling:

(underneath this post is literally another art repost lol) 2. Link to post

5. Link to post

The original posts of these artworks have been deleted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This specific case is even more egregious since this artist doesn’t even allow reposts without permission.
Tumblr media
In all of these screenshots, he posts their artwork without naming them in the caption.
The only credit is a small “source” text (greyed out as well) that is easy to miss when scrolling. (The link only goes to the profile, not the original post). This shows that this isn’t a one-time mistake but a repeated behavior over multiple posts, these are just a few examples from over 20+ similar instances. His top posts are almost all art reposts.
With at least 20+ instances, it’s hard to believe it’s purely accidental. 
Whether intentional or not, this kind of crediting prioritizes his own engagement over actually giving artists the recognition they deserve. If he genuinely didn’t realize, now he knows- and if he keeps doing it, that’s a choice.
Common concerns:
1. “He’s not making money off it, what’s the harm??”
Engagement is a form of profit. If his top posts are all art reposts, he’s gaining a following, likes, and influence off other people's work.
Engagement stays on his post, not the artist’s — when a repost gets thousands of likes while the original post goes unnoticed, the artist loses visibility and recognition.
2. “He did credit the artist, see? The source is right there!”
A hidden, greyed-out link isn’t real credit and  people won’t click the source - the link is small, greyed-out, and easy to miss while scrolling. If the artist’s name isn’t visible in the caption, many won’t bother checking. Proper credit means making the artist’s name visible and easily accessible. 
If people need to dig through tiny text to find the source, it’s not actual recognition—just plausible deniability.
On another note, he didn’t actually credit it himself, it was an automatic attachment by Tumblr which can be explained better here by @feathers-little-nest .
3.  “He’s just sharing art he likes! It’s not that deep.”
If he really liked and respected the art, he’d want people to find the artist.
Art reposting without proper credit is disrespectful because it reduces an artist’s work to engagement bait.
4. “Not everyone knows how to credit properly!”
Maybe once or twice, but after 20+ posts, he’s had plenty of time to learn.
5. “At least he’s not claiming the art as his own.”
That’s the bare minimum.
Also, multiple people have told me they thought that was his art due to the unclear credit, this can also be seen on the reblogs. And he doesn’t try to correct them.
Tumblr media
Now you may be asking, how do I properly credit an artist then?
I will show you in the below examples, but on Tumblr (not cross-platform) I specifically encourage you to never repost someone’s work, just reblog the original post. Always check if the artists allow reposts in the first place in their bio and try to ask for permission before doing so.
Some basics are to mention the artist's name clearly in the caption and linking the original post.
Here’s 2 examples of how to properly credit an artist if you’re reposting them on a different platform.

End Note
This is not only a callout to him but also a callout to the many fanfic writers in this fandom who use fanart/fanedits in their fics (as a cover to grab attention, etc), and other art reposters in this fandom who use Pinterest without crediting the respective artists clearly in the post.
Suo’s repeated failure to credit artists properly is not just an oversight—it’s a pattern that prioritizes his own engagement over the visibility of the original creators. Whether intentional or not, this practice actively harms artists by preventing them from receiving the recognition and support they deserve. Please do not make the same mistakes as he did.
If he genuinely respects artists, he should:
Start clearly crediting artists in the captions, not just in hidden “source” links.
Retroactively update past posts with proper credit.
Refrain from reposting art unless he is willing to credit correctly or have permission from the artist.
There are other skeletons inside his closet and personal matters that I cannot publicly address, but they are worth considering. This post is also the reason why I haven’t been active in a while.
At the end of the day, artists deserve to be credited properly, not used for engagement. If you support artists, follow them directly, engage with their work, and avoid boosting repost accounts that don’t credit correctly.

I have this in my pinned, but i'd just like to formally ask.. please don't upload my art to pinterest!
I absolutely don't mind my art being saved for reference, the issue is with pinterest itself. People don't generally attach credit on there, and users tend to think of anything on pinterest as totally sourceless and free to use/copy. It's disheartening seeing my original work floating around and being used with no credit, or credited to the wrong person, or having people tell me they've seen my art all over but had no idea I made it.
(It'd be one thing if it were just hobbyists, but unfortunately this extends to the professional sphere as well-- I have been given moodboards with totally uncredited art to reference off of even doing professional design work.)
And besides, with pinterest you have to deal with low quality uploads, things being randomly removed, obnoxious ads everywhere... aside from the convenience of it being online, it really just isn't great for art archiving anyways! I think it's very worthwhile to have an offline art reference folder, and if you don't have one you should get into the habit of actually saving things. You can always save my art to your computer, or print it out to have it physically (as long as you aren't using it for-profit). Under the cut I have some image organizing software recommendations.
Tumblr media
Tagstudio - free image and document organizer with tagging functions.
Tumblr media
Hydrus network - another free media organizer with tagging functions. works like a locally-hosted booru. Has a little bit more of a learning curve and has the option to set up a server to share files over a server, but you can use it purely offline. (also yeah it's geared towards imageboard users but you don't have to use any of that to work with it)
Tumblr media
Notion - freemium (free for one user), can be used online/cross platform and shared more like Pinterest. more of a general notetaking/organizational app, but you can create moodboard sites using templates.
may update the post with more if I find more!
