"Divine Contrast" by Nestor

This colored drawing illustrates a fantasy character split into two contrasting aspects, representing the stark realities of social inequality. One half depicts a wealthy man adorned with distinct religious elements, while the other half shows a naked and impoverished man, with his starving family in the background, living in misery. This powerful piece serves as a poignant critique of wealth distribution and the societal structures that perpetuate inequality.

tbh its not entirely fair to paint all blatant rep as poor in comparison to queercoding (altho i do love some good queercoding). i think the reason so much blatant rep is Like That, while queercoded stuff feels so much more meaningful and real, is because the blatant rep we often experience is made to Market To The Queers. while it may have queer creatives working on it, the reason its created is to make money off of queers. its trendy. so just write a fairly surface level fluffy movie about white queer teens and get some cash! its blatant, which means it will be treated as a groundbreaking queer media especially by liberals.

while queercoded media on the other hand (intentional or not) cant or wont just slap two conventionally attractive teens on screen and make them kiss and get those rainbow dollars. its an expression of queer silencing, the quiet thats left when you arent allowed to say what you desperately want to. when you cant spoon-feed your audience queerness you have to. yknow. actually think about what it means and how to express that artistically. you have to show and not tell.

thats all to say, there is blatant queer rep that is good. but you probably aren't gonna find it on amazon prime. that kind of rep is being made by queer artists making indie films. i promise you its not either "blatant queerness that feels shallow" or "deep queerness thats not allowed to be blatant". theres a secret third option and its "capitalism will never liberate you and you need to actually support indie queer artists and actively reject queer capitalism to experience the breadth and width of what queer art is capable of being and doing."

The price of loyalty…

HEY GUYSSS! It’s with great pleasure I get to announce this fanfiction written by the wonderful, and amazingly kind @Milien_The_Gremlin (on ao3)for the RBB that goes along with the piece I drew! Very happy to work with them, they actually taught me some stuff about the BDSM community I didn’t know and about how those relationships work. Some of that (well, the more unhealthy aspects for angst purposes) come to play in this wonderful fic, as well as a lot of angst and Izzy whump (which I know y’all LOVE.) go check it out if you haven’t already! Milieu also writes a lot of other Izzy whump and BDSM stuff so check out their ao3!

hello i am here to say two things

i want marlow as a companion so badly please let us know if you make a mod i'd cry/pos

Please tell me anything about your ocs one of my favourite things is hearing about people's ocs or what they're interested in. just rant at me like you've got a red string conspiracy board if you'd like

1. Ahhh you are just the sweetest! Sorry it took me a bit to reply, I really appreciate your words!

2. Thanks so much for giving me an opportunity to share things about Richie. I’m don’t know the best way to put OC lore out there so these kinds of asks help a lot! More to read below :)c

A fact about Richie is that he tried isolating himself in the Glowing Sea before his long trek out to the Mojave Desert. He had just cut all ties in the Commonwealth and heard the earth-shattering news that Mr. House was still alive. He thought the tough conditions in the Sea might calm him down and set him straight, but it turns out manifesting about the man who doomed you in a twisted hellscape isn't very healthy. His time spent there only turned his heartbroken anger into a full blown revenge quest. Surely killing an old flame would make him feel better...right?

The fact of the matter is, even if he hadn’t passed the point of no return in the Sea itself, it would have happened somewhere else eventually. His steady decline was inevitable because he is just... so hard on himself, refusing to accept any kind of help or prolonged companionship. Under his confident exterior, the guilt and grief is eating him alive, and sadly all this self-destruction leeches out onto his friendships and lovers as well.

The sorrows of a man who needs to feel love to be okay, but snuffs it out before it can grow...

"Codependency" by Nestor

This intricate black-and-white hand-drawn artwork captures the powerful emotional connection between a couple, intertwined through a vast network of neurons and veins. It delves deep into the symbolism of codependency, showing how relationships can become both a source of strength and constraint. The contrast of the delicate lines of the human forms with the intricate web of connections evokes a profound reflection on love, dependency, and identity.

i imagine that even after apologizing and trying to be better, earth still worries that he could relapse to his old self and that everyone is just pitying him so that another moon revolution doesn't happen

my man is trying but the voices get too loud
