This art of Serana from Skyrim (as always, drawn by my friend @yuramoonbow, also available on twitter here) was actually not a commission, but a surprise birthday gift after they had already drawn this other piece for me.

[ Image Description: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim fan art headshot of Serana Volkihar. She has a neutral expression on her face and the background is solid black. It is signed 'yura moonbow'. End ID.

we truly regressed when people started buying into the genderbending is inherently transphobic thing. yeah that twelve year old being inquisitive and having fun on deviantart was your enemy all along.

If someone is trying to justify why it's okay for them to be cruel to you over your identity, you have full permission to stop talking to them. No one deserves to be abused.

the thing is that rhaenyra loves herself too much to have repressed catholic shamesex. why do you think she and laenor never fucked not even for the good of the realm? she and alicent would get as far as the edge of the royal bed and alicent would start wailing about the shame she brings upon herself and her house and rhaenyra's already on the balcony with a pack of menthols and uncle daemon on speed dial. they do not match each other's freak, i fear!!!! criston cole incel extraordinaire to the rescue!!

hello! different anon but still a crushing-on-friends related ask. i'm wondering about your experience with remaining friends with someone you had a crush on (and/or the other way around) (assuming that both parties were/are aware about said crushing). like i guess the friendship and bond inevitably changes afterwards but does it also modify the closeness and and or..... i don't know exactly, just curious of how you personally navigate(d) this type or situation

sorry if this is turning your inbox into a relationship advice dump &feel free not to answer ofc!! thank u :)

my view on this might be unhelpful but i truly and deeply believe that to love and to be loved is never shameful or insulting and this whole idea of having to hide out of embarrassment or fear is poisoning the brain. some of my friends are in love with me. some i am in love with. some of us are compatible some are not. some are just as happy now as they could ever be just existing next to each other instead of together. it does not matter life on this one earth is so short why would it matter. i refuse out of principle to have complicated thoughts about beautiful things.

there's one attorney who I work with quite a bit who seems to live a charmed life---she's got high-achieving kids, a beautiful house, and is always doing something swanky, jet-setting off to different parts of the world, attending massive, sold-out concerts, hanging out in the influencer tent at political rallies, etc.

yet rather than being a lovely person, lit from within by just how blessed, how wonderful her life is.....she's always short, condescending, talks over people in meetings, consistently picks up minor things to worry about and isn't prepared even for meetings where she is a critical decision-maker. For lack of a better term, she's pissy, all the time, unless you're discussing her and her wonderful life.

and honestly, I just don't understand it. No, that's not true, I understand it---it just makes me deeply sad. You've achieved everything that a reasonable person could want, more even....and yet your coworkers spend their days thinking up ways not to involve you, to get around you, to avoid you entirely. It didn't have to be like this, and yet it is.

I know we can see that the diaz parents are falling back into old patterns — maybe worse, because it comes at the heels of them actually repairing their relationship (at least with ramon) — but I'm so irritated that the show is explicitly framing it as eddie learning from his father's mistakes and doing something right instead of ramon encouraging eddie to overcorrect based on his own issues and helena being way too eager to replace eddie in chris' life, without even trying to help mediate, have eddie and chris talk, cool down, or help eddie solve the problem in any way (which! btw is exactly the same thing they did in texas! where their solution to an overworked struggling eddie was not 'we will help you in any way' it was 'we want to take your son from you') anyway there's no way this will be framed as a bad thing in the context of the show, now or later in s8, and is straight up character regression for the diaz parents AND eddie for the sake of drama and is ultimately lazy writing

I had this AU archived off my accounts for a few years, but I'm thinking about it a lot more these days so I'm digging it up for sketches.

This is Kudari from Codebreaker, functionally the starting antagonist for the story when Emmet accidentally collides with him and takes parts of his body.

For a little debrief, the main idea of Codebreaker is that Emmet discovers that he exists in a false reality, and that there is a parallel plane where all of the instructions for his reality exist. He finds his way to this plane by accident after walking back from another lonely day at work, and is hellbent on learning how to manipulate it in the hopes that he can recover Ingo with that knowledge. Kudari is his own set of instructions, who he partly dismantles, allowing him to actually interact with the code. This leaves a hollowed out shell that starts trying to find his own way to get his body back from Emmet.

I'd been thinking about the Beta Submas leaks which lead me to sketching him again. Here's the first rough warmup sketch I did with a fight between him and Emmet.

From there I just started reworking his old design to be worse 💀

Let me know if you guys want more of this freak, he's honestly really fun to sketch.

for a brief period in college i was like "im going to practice making eye contact!" but turns out that makes men start talking to you unprompted so I stopped pretty quick.

I think it says something that you got to see everyone’s dead body and were forced to be a participant to Curly’s torture at the hands of Jimmy but we don’t get to see him dead.

You don’t get to see the satisfaction of seeing the true cause of all the pain everyone went through get a single consequence and it’s so hollow. You don’t get a panning shot of his body, you don’t get splatter to show you it was messy. It just happens and then you’re just left there with all the remnants of what happened and unable to do anything because it’s over. It’s done and you don’t get to do anything about. It’s how Curly feels about what he didn’t do. It’s how you feel as you pilot Jimmy and can do nothing to stop him.

It’s how those affected by people like Jimmy feel after it’s all done. Seen some sort of due process or justice after every painful little thing. It doesn’t feel like enough after every, cause maybe it wasn’t enough. Or rather, it wasn’t done soon enough.

For people who don't think their vote counts - right now our provincial government is holding onto majority status by only 17 votes. 17 VOTES.

If you don’t want to see things like this on your timeline, please see this post.

Not all ballots have been counted, and thankfully the absentee ballots left to be counted heavily favor the NDP over the conservatives, but just so people realize - votes count. They add up. They can be the critical difference between having an inclusive government that supports LGBTQ and other targeted groups, and a government of xenophobic, queerphobic crackpots who think Sandy Hook was a hoax, who believe all Palestinians are 'natural born terrorists', and who want to forcibly 'out' queer kids to their parents when they ask for different names/pronouns at school.

There was no reason to expect that the conservatives here stood a chance in hell of forming government. They haven't held a single seat in government here since 1975. However, for various complicated reasons - including the shift to the right that seems to be happening globally among certain groups - here we are, with a nail-biter of an election that's still too close to call over a week after the election actually happened.

GET OUT AND FUCKING VOTE NEXT WEEK, PEOPLE! DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU YOUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER. It might not make a big difference, but it equally might end up making ALL the difference.

i don't really get how other peoples' interpretations of fictional characters is such a huge point of contention on the internet. i've literally never given a shit about how other people play with their dolls in my entire life. it simply does not have that kind of power over me. fiction is kinda supposed to be exploratory and self-indulgent and the made-up people can't approve or disapprove of how you use them either way so. why fester over it. can't be good for your mental health
