June is LGBTQ pride month. We deserve our month.

June is also men's mental health awareness month- they also deserve their month.

Building awareness regarding Vitiligo

growing up being treated like I was gross and horribly diseased, only for society to suddenly switch up and start acting like vitiligo is the most beautiful thing feels like some sort of cruel joke.

Vitiligo can trigger that late? That's pretty cool actually. My elderly carrot is slowly turning into a snowball, she now has white "brows" and it looks very cute I think.

2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 My friends rooster Ginger (rip) yes vitiligo can trigger at any time be aware that it is an auto immune disorder with a genetic component

New today on DA:TV from Game Informer:

"A Deep Dive Into Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Expansive Character Creator by Wesley LeBlanc on Jun 27, 2024 at 02:00 PM As BioWare prepared to show me the character creator for Dragon Age: The Veilguard in its Edmonton, Canada, offices, I expected something robust – it's 2024, character creators have come a long way, and Bioware has a rich history of good customization. Despite my expectations, I was not prepared for how robust it actually is in Veilguard. Robust enough, even, that BioWare used it to create most of the NPCs in the game, save for mainline characters like companions. Setting hyperbole aside, it is a staggeringly rich creation system, and I look forward to seeing player-created near-replicas of celebrities and monstrous creations that'd be more at home in a horror game.  But I'm also looking forward to the community's reaction to the Dragon Age series' best character creator yet. At the heart of it is inclusivity, Veilguard game director Corinne Busche tells me before letting me guide her through creating my own character."

"As is usual, there are four races to choose from: Elves, Qunari, Humans, and Dwarves. After selecting Qunari, Busche pages through various presets, explaining the game allows for more detailed looks at each and the ability to choose pronouns with she/her, he/him, and they/them separately from gender, select different body types, and more. You can view your character, referred to as Rook in-game, in four different lighting scenes at any time, including The Veilguard's keynote purple hue, a bright and sunny tropical day, and a gothic night.  I joke with the team that after spending upwards of an hour creating my Dragon Age: Inquisition character in 2014, I immediately restarted the game after seeing him in the first cutscene; the in-game lighting made my hair color look terrible amongst other issues I had with my Inquisitor. Veilguard creative director John Epler says the team is aware of countless stories like that with Inquisition and its green-hued character creator, adding BioWare worked hard to squash that concern in Veilguard.  Head and body presets can be selected individually and customized to your liking with 40 different complexions that include smooth, rugged, youthful, and freckled skin tones, skin hues ranging from cool to neutral to warm, undertones to those skin tones, and even a melanin slider. Busche tells me BioWare relied on consultation to represent all people authentically. There's a Vitiligo slider (where you can adjust the intensity and amount of it) and sliders for your forehead, brow, cheeks, jaw, chin, larynx, and scalp. You can select your undergarments, with nudity as well because "this is a mature RPG," Busche adds, and use the "Body Morpher" to select three presets for each corner of a triangle and then move a cursor within it to morph your body or head into a mix of these presets. It's an impressive technology I'd like to see adopted in other games. [link to embedded DA:TV gameplay reveal video]"

"I can keep going: You can adjust height, shoulder width, chest size, glute and bulge size, hip width, how bloodshot your eyes are, how visible cataracts are, the sclera color, how crooked your nose is, how big its bridge is, the size of nostrils and the nose tip, and there are as many sliders, if not more, for things like Rook's mouth and ears. On ears alone, I see you can adjust asymmetry, depth, rotation, earlobe size, and even add cauliflower ear to your Rook. Busche says makeup blends modern stylings with the fantasy of Dragon Age with more than 30 options, including eyeliner intensity, color, glitter, eye shadow, lips, and blush. Tattoos are just as customizable alongside options for scars and paint. Tattoos, scars, and paint are very culturally relevant to some lineages, BioWare tells me, with unique tattoos for elves, for example. You can add tattoos to Rook's face, body, arms, and legs, and you can adjust things like intensity, too.  Im most impressed, however, by the hair options on display; there are a ton, and as someone with long hair, I'm especially excited about the fun selections I can make. You can finally dye your hair with non-traditional colors, and it's gorgeous. EA's Frostbite engine uses the Strand system to render each style fully with physics. "The technology has finally caught up to our ambition," Dragon Age series art director Matt Rhodes says. After customizing all of that and selecting our Qunari's horn type and material (of which there are more than 40 options to choose from), it's time to pick a class out of the Rogue, Mage, and Warrior – read more about Veilguard's classes here. Since we built a Qunari, we went with Warrior. For the penultimate step of the character creator, at least during the demo BioWare shows me, we select a faction. Out of the six options, we select the pirate-themed Lords of Fortune."

"Rook ascends because of competency, not because of a magical McGuffin," BioWare core lead and Mass Effect executive producer Michael Gamble tells me in contrast to Inquisition's destiny-has-chosen-you-characterization. "Rook is here because they choose to be and that speaks to the kind of character that we've built," Busche adds. "Someone needs to stop this, and Rook says, 'I guess that’s me.'" Ready to begin our Rook's journey, we select a first and last name and one of four voices out of English masculine, English feminine, American masculine, or American feminine options. There's a pitch shifter for each voice, too, allowing you to tweak it to your liking further. Don't stress too much about locking in your character creations before beginning the game – the Mirror of Transformation, which is found in Veilguard's main hub, The Lighthouse, allows you to change your physical appearance at any time. However, class, lineage, and identity are locked in and cannot be changed after you select them in the game's character creator.  From here, we're off to Minrathous, and you can read more about that famed city in our cover story, which is available here. For more about the game, including exclusive details, interviews, video features, and more, click the Dragon Age: The Veilguard hub button below."

Re: the weird belief vitiligo is only for POC, I've also seen people get mad that Jewel, one of the Rainbow High dolls, has vitiligo. Jewel is canonically mixed race (Native American, white, and Latina) but since black isn't a race she's got heritage from, the company selling the doll got complaints. Apparently some people not only think it's a POC only thing, they think it's just black people, no one else.

Meanwhile if you look at reviews of the doll from people who actually have vitiligo, many of them have zero issue with her. They're aware it's not race-specific. So everyone getting mad is getting mad on behalf of a marginalized group who doesn't have a problem with it.

Clueless white knighting? What a shocking twist!

FAQ:

I have vitiligo does that mean I can't do X, Y, or Z?:

If you have vitiligo: Welcome to the club :D! In general this advice is mainly aimed towards people who don't have vitiligo, BUT if you do, do what you want! The only thing I would ask of you is to be aware that A) People might not be aware that you have vitiligo which is why you're taking liberates with it, B) People might try to emulate your depiction so if someone without the disorder doing something you might find uncomfortable, keep that in mind! and C) Be mindful of whether or not you're contributing to potentially harmful stereotypes! I'm not going to tell you, someone with the disability, that things are off limits, and I am aware that not everyone feels the same about this disorder, but keeping those things in mind won't hurt anybody!

Is it okay for vitiligo to be animal or shape based in pattern?:

NO. It's de-humanizing and harmful as many ablest insults aimed towards people with this disorder are animal-based. Also it purposefully goes out of it's way to make a person less human purely because they're disabled, which is obviously ablest in itself. Vitiligo is a disorder, NOT an aesthetic.

The same applied for characters inspired or based on animals, especially ones that are patterned.

How does vitiligo develop?:

Vitiligo is an auto-immune disorder, which means its genetics based, BUT(!) it is not something you are born with, and needs to be developed through a person's life time. There are theories as to how it develops but as far as I'm aware there's no one solid answer.

Are POC the only people who can develop vitiligo?:

Nope! Vitiligo can occur in anyone of any race/ethnicity. The reason why you only see people with darker skin tones portrayed with it is because there's more visual contrast, thus making it seem more unique/distinct/obvious.

What does this blog offer?:

I do all sorts of things! I show examples of vitiligo represented in media, answer any questions people might have about it in general, questions specific to character/plots, character design tips, and sensitivity reading just to name a few!

Who runs this blog?:

@trinrose3! I developed vitiligo when I was 7 years and and for the majority of the time that I've had this disorder I felt disgusted and ashamed of it. Over the last few years I've learned to appreciate my vitiligo, as well as develop a slight hyperfixation on it in general, so I made this blog in order to spread awareness and positivity!

I'm the only one running this joint so if I'm being a little slow to answer an ask please be patient <3

Thief. (No CW) Phantom/Chain/Arlo

CW: NONE

Characters: Chain (Water), Phantom, Arlo (Earth)

I seen this post by @allnewbananasong and I went fucking insane for an hour. I just threw my own little mix/hcs into it! I <3 edging Phantom (real.)

Read it under the cut or on AO3!

Chain was the oddball of his pack. If not for his dulled behavior and confusing anatomy that many tripped over, then his sexual partners. His pack having a distaste for newly summoned ghouls, yet Chain found himself with one cowering at his feet. A simple exchange. Business, of sorts.

The water ghoul hummed, looking at the small box that held multiple guitar strings. “What am I supposed to do with you, little thief?”

“I-I'm sorry, I-” Phantom stuttered, his wings folded and tail between his legs.

“Aht.” Chain shushed him with his hand, index going to his lips. “Surely, there's extra strings in the practice room you currently claim, no? If I didn't know any better, I'd assume you were trying to get attention. Am I right, dear?”

Phantom kept quiet, eyes filled with worry but watching as Chain stepped closer, leaning down so they were face-to-face. “Well? Speak when you're spoken to.”

“Yes…” Phantom whined. “You're right.”

Smiling, Chain simply tossed the box at Phantom's leg. “Do tell me then, bat. What could you desire so much from me - knowing my distaste for you - that you sneak into my room, my den, and steal from me.” His thumb gently went over Phantom's bottom lip, eyeing the smaller ghoul curiously.

The bat trembled some, but more importantly his cunt trying to grasp around nothing. Phantom knew Chain could smell his arousal, how couldn't he? It was just the plain embarrassment of having to use his words, to admit to what he wants. He could feel his underwear get wet, specifically a size too small just for enticement.

“You're just… Tall, a-and I wanted… I wanted to try you.”

“Try me?” Chain bubbled out laughs, his nose scrunching and in return showing his bared fangs. “Oh, you're just priceless! What's your name, bat?”

“Phantom.”

“Phantom…” The elder hummed, looking over the ghoul, fingers trailing down to touch over Phantom's vitiligo. “You certainly have my attention. But I'm not sure you're exactly aware of the predicament we're in now.”

Tilting his head, Phantom now held a complete look of confusion, watching as Chain stood up. His expression changed to shock as he watched Chain undo his fabric belt, unbuttoning his cassock before revealing his underside. A tight turtleneck laid against his torso, leggings prominent. But more importantly, the small bump and exposing slick.

“However, I do know someone that would love to assist. Come.” Chain laughed, turning his back as he started walking. “Carry my clothes while you're at it. Make yourself useful.”

It took the ghoul a second before gasping, quickly gathering the discarded clothes before scrambling after Chain. They entered another room, the stench of weed immediately filling Phantom's nose, but more importantly a very, very, large Ghoul got his attention the most. Phantom believed Chain to be tall, but this one took the cake.

“Arlo,” Chain hummed. “Are you functioning?”

‘Arlo’ looked up before eyeing Phantom, shrugging. “You brought a newly summon in here? Tal’s gonna kick your ass for that.” He signed.

“I didn't bring him. He simply invited himself and I'm giving punishment.” Chain pushed Phantom in the room before closing the door. “Would you like to help me make a point on what we do with thieves?”

The earth ghoul chuffed, a smile on his face before nodding. He grabbed the bong on his bed to the nightstand and stood up, Phantom having to tilt his head back as the ghoul approached him. They stared for a moment before Arlo gripped Phantom's horn, the bat yelling and instinctively grabbing Arlo’s wrist which caused Chain's clothes to drop. He trilled before he was thrown on Arlo’s bed, not having a moment to react before another yelp left his throat as Chain now gripped onto his pants and yanked down. Arlo gripped his shirt before lifting it off, instantly moving his mouth onto one of Phantom's nipples, hand going down his underwear.

The old bassist laughed, finally stripping himself. “My, my! You really did plan this, didn't you, little one?” He teased, eyeing the tight panties as Phantom squealed.

Arlo let a growl leave his throat as he continued sucking and pulling on Phantom's nipple, spare hand gripping the small tit he sucked on. His fingers holding no mercy at a fast pace against Phantom's clit, Chain moving to sit on the bed just to watch. Arlo’s tail hit against Phantom's thigh as he moved between his legs, disconnecting from his breast to pull his underwear away.

“Patience, dear. Phantom's not going anywhere for a bit, now is he?”

The two elders held a look before Arlo huffed again, being more mindful of his pacing. He backed up before discarding his sweatpants and wife beater, Phantom whimpering at the pure size of the earth ghoul, now moving his eyes to look at Chain. His hand wrapped around his micropenis, jerking himself off with a calm sigh. Phantom's attention was brought back as Arlo dipped his head between his legs, pushing his thighs back.

Chain started speaking, Phantom desperately trying to focus on his words with a sharp inhale as Arlo licked up his cunt. “Now, Phantom… Do tell me, is this what you expected?”

A long, sweet moan left Phantom's throat which made both elder's hairs stand up and eyes go into slits. “N-no!”

“No? Oh? So you come into our den knowing very well you'd be caught and punished, wearing tight little underwear, yet didn't expect to be between the two of us?”

“I-” Phantom shook, laying his head back as Arlo sucked on his clit, fingers deep in his wet cunt. “Thought I'd be spanked-”

Even that response got Arlo to laugh, tongue flicking at Phantom's bundle before looking over - voice low. “That's fucking cute.”

“We don't spank, Phantom. We make our point very obvious.”

Chain moved and rested himself under Phantom, stroking through the quint's hair with a tilted head. “This won't be enjoyable for you much.”

Before Phantom could even question, he went back to moaning as Arlo continued on his cunt. His thighs trembled against the clawed hand holding him open, toes curling and loud whines leaving his throat. Arlo’s fingers curled against his walls before continuing to scissor him open, Chain taking the time to direct Phantom's head against his abdomen, not needing to do much as he pushed his small cock past Phantom's lips. The quintessence sucked without complaint, eyes rolling back as his abdomen grew warmer and warmer.

“Gonna cum, little bat?” Chain exhaled.

Phantom nodded, his breathing getting heavier and claws now digging into Chain's thigh. His mouth went lax, back arching as he was about to find his completion on Arlo's face with-

“Arlo, stop.”

Yanking away, Phantom squealed as his orgasm was denied. His face was deep in a blush, "No! You-"

Arlo quickly grabbing his cheeks with a glare. “You don't complain. Got it?”

Tears swelled up in Phantom's eyes, looking at the elder before nodding, trying to calm his breathing and discomfort as his cunt tried to squeeze - clit aching and in pain. Arlo let go of his face before crawling up to his chest, cock between Phantom's small chest. There was no tight friction that he could push together, but he still decided to rut between them. The earth leaned over, taking his mate's lips into his own, Chain purring and closing his eyes as they fell into a comfortable rhythm. Phantom kept his eyes on the thick cock on his chest, hands trembling but completely trapped between the two, biting his lip as he watched Arlo’s cock dribble down with pre.

Pulling back with panting breaths, Arlo signed something that Phantom couldn't see - only able to hear Chain's quiet confirmation; “Go ahead, take what you want. You know I love watching.”

With his hand holding his cock, Arlo moved up more before pushing himself in Phantom's mouth, the quint gagging as it reached the back of his throat. His hips grinded forwards, hands on Chain’s shoulders as he looked down to watch Phantom gag on his cock repeatedly. His lips closed around him beautifully, tongue padding at the underside of Arlo’s length. Phantom could feel as the water ghoul reached under to grab his breasts, groping and rubbing his thumbs over his perked nipples.

“So good at taking his cock, Phantom… If you keep this up, we might have to keep you, won't we?”

Arlo let out a growl of agreement, closing his eyes as he moaned under his breath. “Yes.”

Phantom whined around his cock, swallowing and hollowed around his elder, pre sliding down his throat. It took a moment before Arlo suddenly shoved down, Chain gripping Phantom's head still. The bat gagged even harder, tears pricking at his eyes as he was roughly throat fucked - Arlo’s balls hitting against his chin as he was fully seated in the Quint's mouth. Drool and spit covered Arlo and Phantom's own chest, each thrust earning an equal gag. He felt Arlo's hand between his horns, nestled in his hair before gripping tightly and keeping himself close as he came down Phantom's throat. The deepness forced him to swallow, tear finally going down his cheek from the constant gagging.

“Good boy.” Chain praised. “Such a good boy for taking him.”

Pulling out, Arlo instantly moved between Phantom's legs again, pushing back his thighs again as he lined himself up. Taking this time as Phantom tried to catch his breath, Chain laid him down fully on the bed before straddling over Phantom's face - his own wet cunt more on display. He hovered and waited until Phantom let out a long moan as Arlo pushed in, hissing at the tightness. His cock was squeezed around Phantom's cunt, trying to adjust to his size as it felt like he never stopped pushing in. Once Arlo was fully seated in, Chain sat down on his face, Phantom whimpering but complying as his tongue lapped at Chain's pussy.

Heavy thrusts shoved forwards into Phantom, his moans drowned out by Chain’s body. The water ghoul's slick flooding over his face as he freely used his mouth for his own pleasure, meeting over Phantom's stomach to once again kiss his mate. The two began to pass delicate touches over Phantom's twitching stomach, watching as he twitched and arched with their own amusement. Chain exhaled a moan, looking between his thighs and seeing Phantom's tongue still pleasuring him.

“Let us know when you're close, bat.”

Phantom hiccuped and continued his pants and moans from Arlo so deep inside and starting to ram against his cervix. While he was no Mountain, he was right up there with him, completely stuffing Phantom past what he believed. A few moments later, Chain trilled as he felt his tail being tugged. The water let out a chit and Arlo stopped his thrusts with an irritated grumble. Phantom responded by trying to kick, eating a slap on his thigh from the earth. He sobbed beneath Chain, shaking his head.

“Please! Please, please!” He sobbed harder.

Chain could only laugh, grinding his cunt down and going to touch his cock again. “No, no. None of that. This is your punishment. Thieves don't get to cum.”

Arlo reached down to rub against his swelling knot so he didn't feel the same effect the bat did, keeping himself aroused and close. He sat still and watched Chain pleasure himself, tail thumping against the bed before gasping - moaning and cumming on the smaller's face, also having his own stream of cum string from his cock. He rode his orgasm out with a groan, catching his breath before moving off Phantom's face to continue watching from the sides.

Phantom held such a pitiful look, tears going down his cum coated face, begging Arlo with his eyes. Still, they sat for a moment before Arlo could feel Phantom's twitches come to a halt, starting his thrusts with even more need than before.

“Fuck!”

The two laughed at Phantom, Chain watching with a sly smile as Arlo devoured the quint's mouth with his tongue. The earth growled again as his knot began to latch, dragging Phantom back and forth while he swallowed his moans. With a particularly harder hump, Arlo locked himself in and his knot popped - flooding Phantom's insides with his cum. Phantom trembled, having his wrists pinned by Chain so he couldn't touch himself to completion that he was so desperately far away from. The second eras kept the quint down as Arlo continued rutting in his cunt until his knot was low enough to pull out without harm - tapping his cock against Phantom's clit before stepping back to watch his flood seep from the ghoul's hole.

There was nothing but breathing shared between the three, Phantom still frustrated and clit twitching for stimulation. He let out both a confused and sad trill as he felt his pants being slid back up, Chain releasing his wrists to force his shirt back on.

Arlo held up his panties, smiling before he signed. “I'm keeping these.”

The earth let Chain put his sweatpants on, dragging Phantom off the bed and onto wobbly legs. He whined helplessly, feeling cum cover his thighs and soak his pants seams, continuing to bed led out of the room; the den; and eventually the hallway before at the threshold of their territory. Chain opened the wooden door and shoved Phantom through, settling himself against the frame with his hand still on the heavy handle.

“Now, little bat. Don't try stealing again, yes? Such an unpleasant experience for you.” Chain tutted with a coy smirk. He leaned down, licking up Phantom's flushed face. “Do enjoy trying to explain to your pack why you reek of us. Thief.”

And just like that, the heavy wooden door closed on Phantom's face, the bat feeling his legs shake as he stared at the hand carved sigils. It took him a second before whining, stomping his foot like a toddler as he began his slow limp back to his own den.
