Praise Kink (Switch)
An Omegaverse Au in which Heaven blames the omega human Adam for ‘tempting’ the omega Lucifer. As Adam is the one marked, he’s the damage they discard first. Demanding for Lucifer to right the wrongs of disrupting the human legacy, forbidden from both Heaven and Hell till he can for fills his ‘duties’ as an omega himself.
As the one marked and discarded, Adam feels every intimacy Lucifer has and every birth. Each betrayal sinking him into a state of madness and resentment.
And as the humans begin to fall to hell, Adam slowly builds his empire on spite and force of will. Lacking the might of a natural angel and the authority of an alpha, Adam has to learn to use his body and mind to maintain his dominance.
The sins are birthed by him through an attorney announced every two hundred years by whom ever can win his challenge. Lucifer’s claim makes the process agony, each conception worse than the last. But Adam relishes in the pain as a defiance for the angel he blames his banishment upon. Even if the next union and birth could kill him.
When Heaven finally allows Lucifer to visit Hell it’s just in time for 7th and final grand attorney.
Lucifer is very much a yandere in this which is what drew Heaven’s eye to begin with. He’s rendered human while on earth but refuses to allow Lilith to bite him even when birthing the children.
He lives as a human for nearly 800 years before finally dying, outliving far pass expectation. (Or so they say). And even then Heaven is reluctant to allow Lucifer to see Adam. But as God’s favorite and Devil’s games going around again for the final heir, surely Lucifer can finally abandon his claim. Surely.
———-
Lucifer came to reunite. To clear airs by any means and bare his neck to the omega he’s pinned for. Even through Eden, the Wastelands of his trapped human life. This had been the moment Lucifer prayed to make right. To save all that is left of himself for Adam. But the mother of demons wants none of it. Even if the next heir outside his incomplete bond bares kills him.
Pretty birds and pretty words.

Raised in Amphibia AU Marcy has a very complicated relationship with Andrias. They love each other and see each other as father and daughter. He never yells at her, never raised a hand at her, yet she's so utterly terrified of him. She doesn't even know why she feels like this, but all she wants is to not lose his love and to make him proud, and feels like she's always in debt, always failing at earning her place, always desperately two steps behind, never quite pleasing him.
She gives up so much of herself to earn his love and approval... she keeps most of her less useful interests secret, she doesn't have any friends except for maybe Lady Olivia, she drops whatever she's doing, no matter how important, to go to her father when he calls her, she "forgets" about her feelings when they're inconvenient to him...
She used to wear her hair long because he liked it. He never pressured her to wear it like that, possibly didn't even notice the effects his words had on her, but he once said it's what's traditional for the Leviathan royal family, and that it looked good in her, and she was determined to keep hers as long as possible, until one day she can't handle all the stress and anxiety and she desperately cuts it all in her bedchambers. Now it's so short, barely reaching her jaw. She cried herself to sleep that night. Andrias didn't say anything about it, only that it looked nice, and Marcy feels her heart sink - she let it grow for years no matter how uncomfortable it was or how little she liked it for nothing.
#amphibia#raised in amphibia au#marcy wu#andrias leviathan#marcy leviathan#princess marcy#princess marcy leviathan#cutting her hair wasn't premeditated. she did it while having a breakdown#it was her nervous system's impulse to fight in any way possible. to reclaim as much control as she possibly could.#only for andrias to later gaslight her into thinking there was something to fight against#that she was just imagining things to think her hair represented anything#it makes her feel really stupid looking back#and the court whispers about her change in look and how non-traditional she looks. everyone already questioned her status#as a legitimate leviathan princess and rightful heir to the throne#some even denied she was a newt at all! could you believe that? her dad is a newt - what else could she be?#now she breaks tradition by cutting her hair as short as a boy's? oh what would her grandfather say!#the odd rouguish farm girl with curly hair and a bright smile who claims not to be neither frog nor toad not newt despite looking#an awful lot like Marcy...#she visits her in Newtopia every now and then and she had the biggest smile when she saw her again after her little Anxiety Makeover#she ruffled her hair and told her she looked ''amazing'' and ''really really beautiful'' and ''absolutely adorable''#it was rare for people to think Marcy was pretty - most newts thought she was monstruously deformed -#but this girl never held back on compliments. maybe she saw her in a better light because they were equally deformed#but it always makes Marcy's chest bloom with warmth#and that day as they were catching up - chatting in the palace rooftops - sharing sweets stolen from the kitchens - Marcy felt so *free*#my posts#marcanne#technically sashannarcy but like eventually

I'm reading these tattoo history books (because I am an eternal art student that can't do an apprenticeship without being a nerd about it) and because of Japans huge influence on all Western tattooing and it's ties to the yakuza, I am now above averagely educated on yakuza tattoos... But honestly I've never been into reading about organised crime so I don't know shit about anything else yakuza related.
The 'yakuza' section of my brain is now a big folder with tattoo information and images and next to it is just a note titled 'anything I know about the yakuza' which reads: - weirdly chill and accommodating to '50s to '70s American and Dutch tattooers coming over asking all kinds of questions about their tattoos - weirdly chill and accommodating to that guy asking them to review one of the yakuza video games
So my conclusion based on my extremely limited information is that just like on a first date, when communicating with the yakuza you should find some common interests or ask them about themselves. This will go great. what crime.
#I'm sure I would benefit from doing some reading on them to gain cultural context but I just went down a rabbit hole reading about the Māori#reclaiming Ta Moko (their tattoo tradition that was outlawed and almost entirely lost due to Western colonisation)#and as interesting as everything is I can't do hours of deepdiving on every page this book has 500 of them#let's put a pin in it there are several books that solely focus on tattooing in Japan

Confessions of a riot girl
sometimes I am sorry
for how the girls I want to be are always girls that I can't love.
maybe if I wasn't so abrasive, so wrong, so strange
maybe I could be the kind of angry they like.
I can learn to squeal about the evils of men.
to do my makeup like Courtney Love.
to hail the powers of "womyn-born womyn"
and straighten my dark curls.
my girlhood is not something for me to reclaim.
my girlhood is something I hate, that eats me out like a worm.
my girlhood called me faggot.
my girlhood called me sick.
my girlhood called me ugly.
I stand at the alter, worshipping breasts and hips
but not like they want me to.
I am not a riot grrl.
there is no growl in me.
the girl I wish i was, the girls I dream of loving, those snarling beasts,
they do not need to worry about the world choking down their throat.
until all they can do is sob.
#riot grrl#riot grrrl#hi. this is just a short little poem? writing thing? about my frustration with traditional riot grrl.#no hate to riot grrl or the original riot grrls#i love riot grrl but i feel that it can sometimes be exclusionary.#riotgrrl was made by upper middle class white women after 2nd wave feminism#to trans women#poc#and queer women.#we need a new generation of riot grrl#and im so happy to see bands like Dazey and the Scouts#reclaiming riot grrl#also riot grrl's ideas of reclaiming girlhood are usually only applicable to white cis straight women's childhoods.#and im kinda disillusioned with that#theres nothing wrong with reclaiming girlhood though!!

Hello! I have been following your art for awhile now- I just had to refollow because Tumblr is a webbed site. If this is rude to say, ignore it, but I find your pieces inspiried! They truly are so cool. It got me to get a set of caran d' ache water soluble pastels myself! I have been hitting a bit of an art block lately, and I wanted to try something different than what I have been doing.
I just have a question about what you draw/paint ON. I see a lot of what you are describing as reclaimed support - what is it and how/where do you get that? It is wood correct? Is it a specific type of wood? Is there any specific way to prepare it for painting?
Thank you for taking the time for reading!
Hello there! Thanks for your ask! I'm really glad you're inspired and trying new things, and with my favorite art toy, no less. The wax pastels are truly a joy to work with. Like the crayon of my childhood dreams.
I typically paint on scrap wood. I will scavenge plywood, old shelves, lumber, furniture panels, flooring, etc. and prep them for painting. Part of my personal set of values I try to live by is to buy as little new things as possible and that counts for art stuff, too. I have a video about how I like to prep scrap wood here: https://youtu.be/9Ni8aIgB7F4?si=fBAaaB1fSWQC4bfS
Lately my friend and fellow artist Sasha reminded me that mounting paper on the scrap wood is also a thing! So I've been doing a bit of that lately, too, and it has been really nice for pastels and colored pencils. (I mount paper usually with Nori paste and/or matte acrylic medium.)
When I use words like "support" instead of scrap wood, sometimes that's just shorthand for "an archival panel of indeterminate material", such as my stash of 12"x16" PVC panels I got from a fellow art supply hoarder friend. It's strange to say "mixed media on plastic sign material" because that... doesn't necessarily bring up a clear idea...? But yeah, a lot (like the heron series) are done on sanded and gesso'd PVC panels that were once intended for outdoor signage.
Salvaging your own surfaces takes more time and work, but costs barely anything. It works with my rough and natural aesthetic so I lean into the wood's imperfections. Look, this one even has a hole in it! And you can see the grain and the pop-and-lock groove on the left. This was a piece of cedar flooring.
Boy he's a sad little guy isn't he
tl;dr I paint on flat sturdy things likely to last a long time. If you can sand, gesso, and attach wire hanging hardware to the back-- you're good. Go nuts.

Olive Schreiner, “The Buddhist Priest’s Wife” (1892)
#i love this short story#navigating femininity during a time of such great social upheaval#freeing oneself from the binds of traditional expectations#allowing onself to express and to chase and to dream and to learn and to run#but simultaneously feeling a deep sense of emotionality and love#is this okay?#am i betraying myself?#how can i give and receive love without it being the cruellest form of degradation: the kind you invite upon yourself?#but the woman in this piece is so very beautiful#reclaiming power and deciding for yourself what your future will look like#but also feeling a deep sympathy for those who have loved her#love in history has often been a curse for women#but love- when genuine and warm and sincere- is a truly wonderful thing#and appreciating love and those who have loved you is not a betrayal of yourself

Not old art, but art I feel is... lacking. I hadn't touched my tablet in years when I did these pieces earlier this year. I hadn't drawn anything period for months when I did the top pic. I had ideas, but my art muscles had atrophied too much to execute them at the level I wanted. Still, gotta get back in the saddle somehow.
These were intended to be "covers" for some fanfics I wrote. It's always the things you're proudest of that get the worst reception. I know it's my fault for posting non-porn on the porn site, but I honestly thought that since people liked the main fic, they'd appreciate some insight into the secondary characters. I was wrong, but I still wanna redraw these pieces so they fit more in line with the vision I had for them.
#attack on titan#aot oc#aot levi#i'm thinking traditional art might be the way to go for the redraws#really wish gold scanned better#hope I can somehow reclaim the spark for AoT so I can finish this verdamndt fic#it's written so well but I'm so apathetic to the series now...
