Two Mercs Dancing: Encore (2023) The piece above was a redraw of the piece below, which was my first CSP art piece (2 year gap between the two), back when I hardly knew how to use CSP, and my art style was much rougher. I've come a long way, and I'm so proud of myself! It's currently my best and favorite Sniper x Spy work I've made so far! 💙❤️

Two Mercs Dancing (2021) The reference I used is from my favorite Queer photographer, Robert Mapplethorpe! I studied his work a lot in college, and honestly, if any of you haven't seen his work, I recommend y'all check it out! (But be weary! Some of his work is VERY 18+)

Two Men Dancing (1984), by Robert Mapplethorpe

I love cross-faction TF2 ships, especially RED Sniper x BLU Spy. Two mercs hired to kill each other, but catch feelings for their enemy, then subsequently having to keep their love a secret. I love them either overcoming or succumbing to the challenges of loving their enemy, leading to either one or both of them being put in danger, or them fighting and/or running away to stay together, etc... These two have such an engaging and varied dynamic in my opinion. So much fanfic and fanart brings unique perspectives and ideas to the ship! Enemies to lovers is my absolute fav, and this is definitely one of my favorite ships!

Reblogs and feedback is greatly appreciated! Please don't steal my work, or repost it without my permission. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

MIZU IS LITERALLY A BISEXUAL’S DREAMM

[iddstar]

Nix grew up in a remote temple in the north where there wasn’t much to do but there was a copy of the first instalment in a YA novel series, ‘The Daring Adventures of Maggie Bennesk’. She’s obsessed with it and wants to share it with everyone - especially if, like Delphine, you express an interest generally in reading.

Epic badass aroace flag that appeals to me and literally no one else, probably (if it does happen to also appeal to you, though, feel free to use it!)

I've also made versions with just the asexual and aromantic flags under the cut, because why not

One thing many people aren't talking about, especially recently, is how multiple people have normalised hate on BL actors just cause 1) they are men 2) it's BL (and people find it entertaining to shit on the genre as a part time anyways).

Recently one of the leads of "Miracle of Teddy Bear" was on Woody's show and shared how stories about him would circulate in social media of which 90% were made up to cause controversy. He even shared how emotionally draining it was for him and he had cried so much not knowing what to do. Even the Build's situation, so many people cursed him even when he was the victim, recently Ohm's issue blew up of "bullying" which I understand it is wrong but people worse than him are roaming free whereas he who had learnt from that even before the issue blew up, was involved in ngo for autistic kids and had personally contacted the victims (not to mention he was a kid as well, yes he shouldn't have mocked an autistic kid, but tell me how many of y'all were perfect in their childhood) and the so called "homophobic" comment which was cleared as a normal joke by a gay thai man outside the fandom 'cause the fandom was too busy antagonising him, then joong being called a homophobe for a stupid reason that happened years ago ( like saying "i am a man not gay" sounds like a slip of tongue rather than an actual homophobic comment), or krist being labelled as a homophobe even though he is the biggest alley (there is a post talking about it in details, no to mention made by a queer person) and how people disregarded zeenunew even though they said they are a queer couple and there are many such instances. It's funny to me that people target BL actors so much even though many of them are homophobic stalkers and creeps. I agree there are problematic actors too but they are present everywhere I don't see people generalising that. I have seen people shit on geminifourth who are literally teenagers just 'cause they don't want a "bl" couple in gl (imagine if the opposite was said, i understand some people were saying shit about milklove and their fandom reacted but they literally started it and said whatever they want about two fucking teens) and then freenbecky fandom calling zeenunew homophobic names over a misunderstanding. It's exhausting and crazy fans don't seem to stop.

One of my classmates asks me: Are you gay or lesbian? Some classmates (especially, boys) even laugh at me, saying that I'm bi or non-binary...

Meanwhile, Me:

Girl... WTF?!

I think we should normalize shipping one-sided relationships. Yes, I do think this person has a crush on that person. But that person doesn't feel the same. And it's okay.

It doesn't even have to be angst. Because people aren't required to reciprocate those feelings! Yes, being rejected sucks, but rejecting someone can too

It can be humor too. Rivals were only one acknowledges the rivalry. Outsider POV where a person can't tell if they are together or not.

Or a character exploration of said characters sexuality! Maybe they don't want to say 'no' straight away for whatever reason and says "we can try but please understand if I want to break up because I just don't feel this way".

So many great opportunities

(UNDERTALE USELESS THOUGHTS +SPOILER?) METTATON CANONICALLY IS A CISGENDER CHARACTER, NOT TRANSEXUAL:

I don't understand why people still misunderstand Mettaton's gender in 2023.

In the game no one says that he is transexual.

People consider him canonically a girl or a transexual character (FtM). The ghost inside him is gender neutral (like their cousin Blooky) not a girl and the robot form (Mettaton) is a femboy/drag queen like. Femboys and dragqueens are NOT ALWAYS transexual. He is a man who like pinky stuff and feminime dresses and make ups. It doesn't mean that he is transexual or a female, it is a ugly stereotype because if this is a valid way of thinking it means that if a guy has girly manners and speech or is transexual or gay, what? It is not always like that, so Rouxls Kaard is a female because he has long eyelashes and long hair???

Mettaton is an actor/showman. Actors are usually eccentric personality so Mettaton cross dresses, tries child murder and places bombs to increase attention and views on his shows and figure.

And i think that more than a trans metaphor (who doesn't make any sense because the character is not trans so the trans allegory has no logic) is a metaphor to someone who hasn't no identity and goal in society (Hapstablook who didn't have a body) who thanks to his friend (Alphys) becomes someone important (Mettaton). Then MTT was so self asorbed that putted aside Alphys and only when she died he realized how selfish and bad he was to the monster who helped him so much to reach his goal.

are they hinting something 🤨

i feel like I’m only picking bi/pan because at least i’d have a chance with her if she is bi/pan…..

Yeah I know, it's a bit late to jump in but...

Happy Pride Month

🏳️‍🌈🥳🎉

Let's celebrate the colorful diversity of my beloved humanity this Month ^^

Stay yourselves, love yourselves and NEVER let yourselves be changed. You all are right the way you are, the way you look AND the way you love! Never forget that.

So, that's what I wanted to say...I know, the LGBTQ+ Community still often has a hard time and we need to change that!

Blog Tour, Exclusive Excerpt & Giveaway: Vow Maker By Lily Morton Mixed Messages, Book 4 Dylan Mitchell wants to get married. However, after seven years of being engaged, that’s looking slightly doubtful. After going through ten wedding planners, they’re gaining a reputation somewhat akin to Henry the Eighth on the wedding circuit. Gabe has vetoed symbolic dove releases, forests of flowers,…

I sometimes write tortured characters that aren’t intended to be trans but then I’m like “them being trans would definitely make sense as an interpretation of this”

But also I don’t want to keep writing tragic trans characters because we’re always portrayed as suffering horribly

Then again most of my characters suffer horribly anyway so it’s not like I’m singling out the trans characters

But the difference is I don’t want the suffering to always be directly tied to them being trans and making them explicitly trans would end up doing that

I guess I could just leave it up to interpretation idk, I mean there’s a chance no one’s ever going to get to see the full story anyway
