#To Be Truly Free

[ybatinga-multicolorida]

Girl, wake up, new fanart just dropped!!

'To be truly free' by CleanLenins is a fanfic i've been reading for the past three days non-stop. I'm still on chapter 17 and my dislexia was going crazy, that means pause reading time.

Long story short, my hands started itching in need of drawing at least one scene. Since chapter 11 it's my literal favorite I immediately got to work.

Bloody version undercut

I was going to draw the bodies, but i reckon it'll be too much, so no dead soldiers, just blood

Will reblog with more details about the drawing so this post don't end up being super long

To Be Truly Free

Chapter 22

The Sleeping Empire had held all the power for centuries. What else did you expect when the Emperor was an undying Vampire? King Philza and his sons, Prince Wilbur and Prince Theseus, have never faced a real threat to their power. Twenty years ago, the Blood God spoke through his Holy Conduit, the King of Scywar. A prophecy that one child born in the month of the Summer Solstice had the potential to crush the hearts of the Vampiric Lords once and for all. As such, a decree that every child born in June must serve the Blood God's church. Technoblade thinks this whole thing is dumb, but no one really cares what he thinks. As one of the children born in June, known as the Blessed Ones, Technoblade dreams of a different life. One not enslaved to The Church. He dreams to know what it means to be truly free. Or- Another Dark SBI Vampire AU. This time, Technoblade is the Human.

I've FINISHED IT

I've Finished the Drawing!!

This is a scene in @lennjamin-o7's wonderful To Be Truly Free ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/37544800 ) that I imagine Philza wishes would've happened. Wishes, because Techno is actually more like a feral cat who is violently opposing the adoption.

There are some imperfections, but I'm happy with it as it is, so I'll leave it.

I made a post with the progress, I'll stick that link here if anyone wants to look at it: https://www.tumblr.com/sohrleas/759664710323945472/im-finished-ill-make-another-post-with-just

(If I could figure out how to insert the timelapse, I would.)

Anyways, it's done!!

Here's a version without the shading:

I was not meant for the 9-5 Family Man vision. I was born to be the village fool with no family nor friends that stays a hermit in his home crafting obscure creations that would make people who have no concept of thought-provoking art say "what kind of drugs was that guy on! Lol!" None. I am sober and unmedicated as a brick. I want newcomers to move to my town and be told when they see me "yeah he's a little weird but he's harmless". I am still loved despite my flaws and unconventional social skills. I am not pushed to be anyone else, nor expected to be more than I am.

[soaring-kite]

hey what fanfic were the sleeping empire/vampire sbi memes for?

I'm glad you asked. So glad you asked.

It was

To Be Truly Free (link above) by @paladinpalindrome aka CleanLenins.

Synopsis: "The Sleeping Empire had held all the power for centuries. What else did you expect when the Emperor was an undying Vampire? King Philza and his sons, Prince Wilbur and Prince Theseus, have never faced a real threat to their power.

ISN'T THAT SO COOL??? I'm begging you, go check their fics out — you won't regret it.

Anyone want to see what To Be Truly Free drawing I plan to work on the next time @lennjamin-o7 streams?

Boys tangled up and cuddling! It's meant to be...well, kinda what Philza Expected the journey to be like when bringing his New Son home. Y'know, with Techno WANTING to go and not banged up and injured and angrier than a wet cat.

Some things I want to adjust:

I need to look at the description of the interior to see how wide it is. I can scrunch up the boys to adjust it, Tommy will just have to deal with being a bit cramped.

Check anything about what they're all wearing.

I want to adjust Wil's upper body so he's slouching a bit more. Get a sore back, loser

Just a little size adjustment here and there--easy enough to do on the computer (Techno's head needs to be a bit bigger, need to double check the leg lengths)

Maybe move Wil's arm so it's resting on top of both his brother's heads

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

help people leave palestine (donate what you can)

Help a Family Evacuate Gaza (GoGetFunding)

Save Sanaa and her Family (Gofundme)

Save Amjad Saher and his family (Gofundme)

Help a family of 13 escape Gaza (Gofundme)

Help a Palestinian children's book illustrator save her family of 12 (Gofundme)

[embraceyourdestiny]

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help
