They’re siblings, Your Honor. <3

[mrghostrat]

I saw that Q&A post you made, where you linked proof of that one person stealing your comic. That sucks, I’m sorry!! 😣

What is your opinion/boundary when it comes to using your art as inspiration or reference, or even tracing? Obvi that particular person straight up copied whole drawings of yours many times, and that’s an extreme case where it’s easy to see that they’re far out of bounds. But what would you consider to be acceptable use/tracing of references, using your work as reference? Thx in advance!!

thank you, and thank you for asking! 💛 (edit: the happy ending to that theft btw)

i separate my fan art from my original art in my head, since fan art so often breaches containment and a lot of people treat it like a community thing, i’ve adjusted my boundaries around it for my own ease.

in short: you can do whatever you want with my good omens fan art. obviously prefer if credit is given where possible, always given if asked, and always displayed clearly if you’re tracing it for whatever reason.

i’m a little more protective of my original art, so i hope this makes sense:

you can trace my original art if you’re giving it to me as fan art of my work. people have done “redraws” before and i love them.

i’m ofc okay with the kind of inspiration that comes up naturally, like, “oh i love how that elf has big floppy bunny ears, i wanna give my elf ears like that!” and same goes for anything that my art might inspire, that you then tweak for yourself

i generally wouldn’t recommend copying my poses 1:1 anyway, since my anatomy can be pretty borked at times, and when it’s stronger i’ve likely used a photo reference. you’re welcome to ask for the references i’ve used for any given piece 💛

slightly less related but you CAN use my original art for icons and banners, but credit is mandatory. i would also prefer if it’s only characters that appear in my stories (rechargeable, paranomads etc), bc i think i’d feel weird if someone used a free floating OC (mister b, my vampire lesbians etc) as a pfp

you can also do whatever the hell you want, no boundaries, if you’re keeping it to yourself. i’ll never know and can’t stop you. so if tracing all my work helps you further your art (i’d hope it’s not the only thing you’re doing, or it’d be to your artistic detriment), i’m fine with that if you’re keeping it metaphorically tucked under your mattress, for your eyes only ☺️

what do you think of acxa and veronica?? both as separate characters and as a ship

i love them dearly!! i do think acxa was insanely interesting as a character when she was introduced even though it came at the cost of hunk’s strange comments LMFAO and the whole odd attempt to imply she was into keith or whatever 😞 her design could use some tweaking imo but all around pretty decent

i also think veronica is pretty neat!! i wish we got to see her more as i love her design and i remember really loving her voice i think !! also she gave us the iconic dinner date scene where she admits she’s interested in keith which derails lance entirely, i wish they also explored that more, not because i ship them (the opposite in fact) but i just would’ve loved to see how it’d pan out with lance being pissed off and keith being.. keith, the fruity autistic man he is, they could’ve ended off as solid friends imo </3

as for the ship itself!! i like them i think? i haven’t given it too much thought due to them not having much screen time unfortunately 😞 i remember thinking the few interactions they did have as super cute and sweet

i view them as lesbian and bi respectively if ur curious 🫶

Another list of recommended non D&D TTRPGs

Mostly just a list of stuff that I personally have been having fun with!

5. Pathfinder: Look if you wanna replace dnd, this is probably the easiest way to do it. It is slightly more complex, but pf2e is WAY more beginner friendly than most people expect it to be. The main source of complication is also the system's greatest strength, in that the more in depth character customization lets you fill out your character's abilities in a more compelling way. Have you ever been frustrated because none of d&d's classes fit your character idea that well? Have you ever gotten a major class feature and not used it much because it doesn't fit your idea for your character? Pathfinder may be the system for you!

It does have a few minor issues in the form of design relics from the old edition d&d it was based on, but aside from the spell prep system most of those can be table ruled out or avoided with minor build tweaks.

4. Monster of the Week: This system is great for anyone who feels more intimidated by rules-dense systems. Being a Powered By The Apocalypse game means that if you learn one of these, you learn a bunch of other systems. Monster of the week is also very inexpensive to get into (Basically everything is free aside from the GM rulebook) and has good community support!

The genre is primarily modern Urban Fantasy with a focus on solving mysteries, but the publisher's most recent book, Codex of Worlds, expands the options so you can take those same supernatural horror mysteries into settings based on The Victorian Era, The Renaissance, The Dark Ages and even The Stone Age!

3. Thirsty Sword Lesbians: Look, this is an incredibly flexible system that has a shitload of uses so its hard to describe quickly but at its core this is another PBTA game that has more of a focus on mind games and emotional drama than the actual swordfighting mechanics. Swordfighting is just a backdrop for drama, and magic largely exists as a metaphor for the characters' personality traits, this makes the system incredibly easy to reflavor or tweak. I've seen a game run with a completely mundane fencing club, a homebrew setting based on a theater department and an official module based on a chess tournament. Anywhere people are competing and communicating can be the backdrop for this game. I should also note that despite the name and most of the art, the game is designed to work well with LGBT storytelling in general.

The core mechanics are essentially a rules-lite drama simulator, with the only truly consistent elements being romance and melodrama. The flavor is flexible and the rules have a ton of caveats that say "If you don't think this fits your character, ignore it!" Its primarily a game for people who like to really get into character to make choices and who are willing to shoot themselves in the foot for the sake of being true to that character.

2. Lancer: If rules-lite systems aren't as much your thing and you wanna take a very different approach to your new campaign setting, Lancer may be the game for you! This is a crunchy mecha combat game with a really in depth customization system that lets you make some wild shit. There are a ton of different customization options on top of an iconic series of mech frames that each have unique and iconic abilities!

It's also not as intimidating to get into as most crunchy systems, as its actually pretty hard to make a "bad" build in the game, the devs have been super cool about providing good digital resources like the Comp/Con app and the community is known for being pretty helpful!

Court of Blades: So this one is a bit more of a niche, but it's basically a system reskin of the critically acclaimed Blades in The Dark with some interesting new twists. Players take on the role of a group of nobles and courtiers in a low-magic fantasy setting inspired by Renaissance Italy's feuding noble houses as they attempt to bring their house to the top.

The real appeal of this system to me is how effectively it lets players play a group of scheming rich bastards, with mechanics around currying favor and having people to do things for you. If you've ever tried to run a noble in a different system only to be frustrated at how little the game lets you use your character's wealth and influence, you might like this game! It's a narrative driven game with a very different approach to structuring plots and missions compared to most ttrpgs that creates a much more engaging narrative flow. The player character playbooks can feel a bit linear and restrictive, but if more people play this one that means more homebrew options!

Taylor Swift likes G Flip's 'masc lesbian' Cruel Summer cover

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/taylor-swift-likes-g-flips-masc-lesbian-cruel-summer-cover/

Taylor Swift likes G Flip's 'masc lesbian' Cruel Summer cover

G Flip says they’re “trying not to cry” right now after Taylor Swift liked their “masc lesbian” cover of Cruel Summer.

The Aussie artist, who’s non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, recently dropped by radio station triple j to perform the cover for the Like A Version segment.

Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer, one of the all-time great pop songs, is off the singer-songwriter’s 2019 album Lover.

For their new cover, G Flip put their own spin on the song, including tweaking the song’s lyrics to be about a woman.

The drummer told triple j at the time, “Hopefully I didn’t butcher it for the gaylors.

“Hopefully they’re like, ‘Oh, actually that was pretty good,’ you know? I feel like it’s more of a masc lesbian version of Cruel Summer.”

‘My phone is blowing up’

G Flip dropped the cover last week, and notorious social media recluse Taylor Swift has since taken to Instagram and “liked” G’s post.

“I’m trying not to cry,” they said.

“I just woke up and I’m looking at my phone and it’s blowing up and it’s because Taylor Swift liked my cover of Cruel Summer.

“Thank you so much Taylor for liking it. Cruel Summer is one of the best pop songs written of all time.

📱| Taylor Swift liked the gay cover of Cruel Summer by @gflipmusic very recently! pic.twitter.com/HEuLtRF8X0

— Gaylor Updates (@gaylornews) January 15, 2024

“I just wanted to put my own spin on it and write new string parts and a new arrangement, but still use little hints of the original, that magic.

G added, “I really thought that it was going to get a lot of hate because it’s such a big song.

“When you take on a big song, you don’t want to destroy it or ruin it… I’m trying not to cry. It’s really cool. I love your art and thank you everyone for getting around this.”

@gflipmusic Replying to @Parker Dean got a bit emotional cause taylor is an icon and one of the best songwriters of all time. 🥹🥹🥹🥹 #fyp #foryou #foryourpage ♬ original sound – G FLIP

G Flip said their Like A Version cover of Cruel Summer will arrive on music streaming services on Friday.

Lesbian pride icons!! With Fem Craig’s Gang!!

[0xochitlsketches0]

Aphrodite girls 🕊 ✌️ 😌 ✨

I listened to a lot of Katy Perry and Marina and the Diamonds while drawing these two haha. ʕ•̫͡•ʔ.

I’ve heard people say they hate the camp shirts because they’re orange and orange is an “ugly color” (offended). So, I thought it would be funny if Drew took that as some kind of challenge to wear as much orange as she can to prove she

1.) can look good in everything and

2.) be a better fashion icon for making the colors work where others can not.

But I also like the white shorts I gave her cuz they’re cute, they also lowkey look like the lesbian flag haha.

Selina was fun, I gave her candy clips because her dad works at a chocolate shop (???) so I wanted her to have a kind of “sweet feel” and of course her bracelets and necklace for Clarisse and Becky.

I also gave her hair bands on her wrist so she can give them to other campers when they need some, and silly bands so she can be extra 2008 hot.

Overall I’m pretty happy with the designs, I might tweak them later down the line but I’m content with them for the now. ʕ•̫͡•ʔ

[goodgluework here] dude im obsessed to the tweak to ur icon. Bless lesbian korn enjoyer hank hill <3 very u

thank you jack i love you did you know i drew the hoodie all by myself 😌

[roanofarcc]

Omg when you mentioned about new people asking I was like YES I WANT TO SEE THAT!! Like okay they have all just got used to it. I even want Robin and Erica to also point out how casual and shit they’re all being. I want people to honestly question their mental health and stuff (because y’all know they are messed by with trauma). Robin and Erica have only been through it once and I really want them to question everything. I know we talked about Erica with Lucas and the party but I also kinda want Robin to notice it and have to come to terms with it. Like how Robin mentioned that Steve was a douche and like have to come with the terms that this is his life and has been for almost two years now. I think she starts seeing a side of him in the Russian base and everything else but like I also want to see her struggling with that. Struggling with also understanding how all of these kids had to go through it. Even though she was also an isolated person (we don’t know if she truly had any friends to rely on and we know it must have been hard with her being a lesbian.) Which now I have to scream kudos to that coming out scene. THAT WAS EVERYTHING!!! MAYA AND JOE ACTED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT SCENE!! ESPECIALLY MAYA!! IT WAS SOOO BELIEVABLE!! Like both of them didn’t overact or anything! They did it soo perfectly!! I feel like everyone loves that scene while also being one of the most under appreciated scenes ever!!!! PLEASE THEIR VOUNERABLENESS!! MAYA ACTING WITH HER EYES SO THAT THE AUDIENCE CAN TELL JOW AFRIAD ROBIN IS!! THE HESTIANCE ROBIN HAS WHEN STEVE SAYS YEAH TINNA (is that her name suddenly I forgot the most iconic lines ever idhkcfjbc) IS GREAT AND ALL BUT SHES A TOTAL DUD!! HER JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE IS TALKIMG ABOUT AND THEN REALIZING THAT HE STILL WANTS TO BE HER FRIEND!! GOD FUCKING CINEMA!!

Anyway I don’t want all the text together so I’ll get back to my original point here. So we know that Robin was isolated but I also feel like she is such a people pleaser (like Steve). Like they have that whole talk TWICE about being popular and wanting to fit in. I think it’s a huge thing with Steve mainly (then you have like Nancy and Jonathan in season 1 and 2 but it was mainly Steve’s arc with popularity so) but also such a huge thing for Robin too. Their whole friendship (even before Russians and upside down) is about them feeling like they can trust each other and fit with each other. None of them put on a persona for each other (except at the very beginning but also I completely understand why they didn’t tell each other then) but otherwise they were themselves to each other. There was no hiding with them and I feel like after everything they would actually tell each other everything. Like Robin would want an explanation about everything and I feel like Steve would just come fucking completely clean. Idk though if he would tell her about his guilt with everything but like other then maybe tweaking a couple things he would be completely honest.(I think if Erica would ask Lucas though he definitely will not tell her everything like with billy and probably about in the middle school in season 1 like he wouldn’t tell her that shit at all. And also seeing wills body would def be off limits). So basically I just want everyone to realize how messed up their circumstances is and how they never actually fit in in their hometown. And how everyone just doesn’t see them for who they truly are and how that actually has even more of a mental drain on them. Like they legit can’t even go to therapy (they could probably be put in like an institution or something and the government still has a hold on them sooo). The only support system they have is each other and even then it’s not enough. We see onscreen how taxing it is for everyone to be each other’s support systems and how that affected each other’s relationships (which often ends in fights). Lol this is long as fuck

yes yes yes to all of this! I hope we do see more of the toll all of this shit has taken on them because I think that’s such an important and real aspect of the show. like seeing them be vulnerable with each other because they are the only people in the entire world who understand what they they’ve all been through. and I feel like with Robin and even Erica there’s more a chance of them bringing that to light.

also I’ve probably talked about many times on my blog but I could talk about that coming out scene for days!! like I remember watching it for the first time so vividly when the season first dropped. I was determined to watch it all in one day on the 4th and seeing that at like 5am was wild. like not to get too personal, but that was around the time where I was struggling so much with my own sexuality. I’m pretty sure I cried lol. it was just so well done and seeing that play out in someone you can see yourself as was just so amazing. and you can see on screen how important that scene was so important to Maya and Joe that they get it right. ugh I just loved it all!

but yeah I think that steve and robin’s friend is so important because they are like the only two people in each other’s lives that I feel like they can really be themselves around. steve knows robin’s secret of her sexuality and trusted him with that. and even if it wasn’t like intentional, robins knows steve’s secret of his involvement with the upside down. I hope we see their relationship how much it means to both of them. because I feel like it’s pretty uncommon to see a vulnerable and emotional friendship between the opposite sex. but I think they’ll both see each other in a different light next season and I just want them to be besties lol

[octonaut-belle]

Hey you ever like, blank out and when you’re back you realize I’ve done art. Well I mean in my defense the Internet went out but-

I did that, and they’re headcanons!

Before you continue, keep in mind these are PERSONAL headcanons, maybe you think different and that’s perfectly okay! Please! Share them, I’m happy to hear, these are just mine!

Now lemme explain:

Barnacles - aromantic - I don’t think the captain is very romantically interested in anyone! I think he’s a bit more of a work centric person. He’s always been told “You’ll find the right bear!” And sure he thought about it, but never felt a connection, he doesn’t mind so much!

Inkling - nonbinary- I ALMOST just put inkling as an ally, and then I remembered about how cephalopods tend to act the other gender, sometimes randomly, like just for fun, and sometimes, for their benefit. So I put nonbinary, but I think he’d lean towards male, I hope it works out but please let me know if not someone please lemme know.

Dashi - Lesbian - or at least, bi leaning female! After the cave diving special I had too. I also think she’s demiromantic!

Kwazii- Transgender - NOW IM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE, there was one point where Kwazii was referred to as she in the books, a misprint I suppose, however, I’ve been thinking about it! Now, most yellow cats- like Kwazii- are male. However, they can be born female! Not only that but, I can just imagine Kwazii wanting to be like his grandpa, calico Jack (which, fun fact, almost ALL calicos are female!) And slowly, maybe right before or after starting at the octonauts, transitioning.

Tweak - Bisexual - I need no explanation this is just tweaks energy.

Shellington - Demisexual - This might be a bit of self projection but at the same time Shellington.. man. I really do see him as demi, I think not only does it take a while for him to be comfortable around people (comfortable enough to open up about his interests!) he’s kinda self conscious about it but the crew helps him accept it, especially Peso.

Peso - Gay - This one is my favorite because well- There’s a million documented cases of same sex penguin couples, infact I think Peso’s family are incredibly proud of him, because same sex penguin couples are very very helpful! If an egg or chick is abandoned, they take it on, and if they don’t have one, they help others care for their little one. So they’re very proud of him!

Time to get back to messages now the internet is back, thank you all, and I hope you like the silly little icons! Feel free to use them!!

Reneé Rapp brought The L Word cast and Kesha to Coachella

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/renee-rapp-brought-the-l-word-cast-and-kesha-to-coachella/

Reneé Rapp brought The L Word cast and Kesha to Coachella

Reneé Rapp brought out the cast of The L Word and Kesha during her debut set at Coachella in one of the festival’s gayest moments today.

The lesbian singer-songwriter took over the Outdoor Theatre at the annual Californian outdoor music and arts festival on Sunday (Monday Australian time).

For the set, Reneé’s staging featured two giant pairs of scissors (get it?). At the start, the original cast of The L Word introduced Reneé to the stage.

Actors Katherine Moennig, Leisha Hailey, Jennifer Beals as well as creator Ilene Chaiken told the huge Coachella crowd they were all from Reneé’s “favourite show” and introduced her.

During the set, Reneé Rapp also brought out Kesha. She told the crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, this, I think, is the hottest person on the earth. Everybody put your f___ing hands together for Kesha.”

Kesha made her way out on the stage, wearing a white top with “I Am Mother” printed on it. Iconic.

The two singers then performed Kesha’s Tik Tok with one very important tweak. Kesha changing her original opening line from “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy” to “Wake up in the morning like fuck P Diddy”. (The rapper is facing sexual assault allegations and is accused of sex trafficking.)

What's that sexy flag in Ur icon king

you have the eyes of an eagle luv i literally changed it like half a second ago but i'm pretty sure it's just a hyper-saturated mash up of the gay and lesbian flags? because i consider myself mlm and wlw and i like those flags <3 i did tweak them to be my favorite colors though

TLDR colors pretty and i "made" it 🥺 id love to make an actual flag someday tho maybe u and i can talk about it sometime

[yandere-fresita]

And the final addition to the band!!! I’m not a huge chica fan but this design is probably one of my favourites. Welp, probably no, I know for a fact that it’s my favourite. I love all of the new designs on the animatronics so it’s just normal!

I added in some tweaks to the desing, like adding some better paterns and making her eyes purple.

She is absolutly adorable and I love how this icon came out, really cute feeling proud of her making a selfie for her fans! Also she is a lesbian for Roxanne lmao
