Blank Slate is a dark fantasy web serial about fire, lesbians, religious oppression, and cultural exchange. If any of the following pique your interest, you might want to check it out!

Pseudo-medieval post-apocalyptic kingdom

evil church that is just catholic enough to be cool

malevolent sellsword haunted by a benevolent demon

uncertain-hero minstrel who is smarter than she lets on

cold-eyed and conflicted traitor knight

deranged and ironhearted nun awaiting her own execution

evil knights

mysterious druids

the occasional outburst of spectacular violence,

and, most important of all,

an indestructible thread of hope--

--hope that eventually winter will end, and a new spring will bring new beginnings to the kingdom of Frydain.

Sometimes dark, sometimes sapphic, sometimes mystical, and always updated on Sundays, this character-driven fantasy web serial is available to read at fireandslate.com!

does anyone remember that shoujo manga that deconstructs gender roles 100 times and then it ends with one of the lead character's parents finally transitioning? no? just me? ok

Owen Jones is as much an evolution-denier and creationist as Ken Ham.

Sex-based differences in toy selection are demonstrable in other primates, who don't have a plausible mechanism for social constructivism.

So, for feminist Blank Slateism to say that we alone are immune to the same forces as our ape relatives is overtly a denial of evolution, or at minimum to suggest that these sex-based differences mysteriously disappeared in our evolutionary line alone for no apparent reason, but then re-emerged, identically, as social constructions.

That's creationism.

Thinking English majors who don't understand anything about biology could explain human nature and behavior better than actual scientists is one of the most braindead notions of the last couple of decades.

People who subscribe to "the patriarchy" to explain differences between male and female, woman and man, are evolution-denying creationist cranks and should be treated with the same scorn and derision as people who believe in Noah's magic zoo boat.

OC-Tober Day 3: Old OC

Blank is my oldest OC that I still use (first made around 2017), but the oldest OC of mine (that I'm aware of) is this Pichu/Pikachu with a Sylveon ribbon from around 2013/14. I never drew her as an Raichu, so I took the chance to finally give her the final stage of her evolution a decade later.

THIS HALLOWEEN AT BLANK SLATE:

The nights are getting longer. The colors of the trees have changed. Summer's growth has given way to harvest, and the nights threaten frost.

In the lost kingdom of Frydain, the harvest has come in, and most folk are busy enough just trying to survive the winter. The Church rules with an iron fist, but the gospel they preach is one of obedience. The pious have nothing to fear.

For those who have been labeled heretics, that struggle for survival will be a bit more hands-on.

I write Blank Slate. It's four years old and updated every Sunday. It's about all of the above, and more. It's about swords, spirituality, and sapphic rebellion. It's about ecology, ecstasy, and the nature of evil. It's about revenge, religious trauma, and resistance.

It's about fire.

It's a necessary precondition to recast "difference" as "oppression."

Wait til you meet the people with the cognitive dissonance to believe both simultaneously: that innate sex differences do account for different outcomes in sports performance, aggression and violence and the sex ratio of coalminers and boilermakers, but innate sex differences do not account for different outcomes in salary earnings, maternal instinct or the sex ratio of Presidents, CEOs or theoretical physicists.

This is my favourite ship dynamic.

Grumpy x Cuddly >w<

it's crazy how this kind of ship dynamic always comes back at me like some kind of boomerang, no matter the fandom I'm in. O_o (Also, don't judge my blank slates character design... muscular & bald men are my type/j.)

Tell me your favourite ship dynamic (platonic or romantic, specific or vague) if you want to. I like reading other's opinions.

there is a sense of freedom in not having anything to lose

a blank slate

a new beginning

to be whatever you want

or whatever you don’t

nothing can bring you down

because you’re already there
