friends, it's the shortest daylight time of the year. seasonal depression is at its peak. most people are celebrating holidays, so folks are going to be less available. nobody is ignoring you, don't trust how you feel about your life past 9pm, get enough sleep, and take your meds. it'll pass.

Demon hunters are adaptable ✨😎 #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS #kpopdemonhuntersfanart #kpdh #kpdhfanart #HUNTRIX #Rumi #rumikpopdemonhunters #mira #zoey #fanart

A little early gift for all of you... KS launching on 01/20/26: SINK YOUR TEETH IN #1. A sapphic vampire noir following Corsica Smith, a disgraced Chicago PI working for scraps, who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

Do you think Santa stays in the north pole because he too lives in fear of what he's created?

prework warmup with a bit of a palate cleanser.

Wake Up Dead Man is extremely good and clever and wonderful and I hope Rian Johnson makes a million of these

Just so they're all in one spot on here, here's Common Ground. The latest Blade Maidens short by myself and @valentinemsmith.bsky.social and something very important to us. Hope y'all enjoy it, and hope it gives some tiny amount of joy in these Rough Times. Also included the in-world lore bits!

I'm at my LCS for a Christmas giveaway thing and I've never seen this place so crowded. Anyways I'm stuck next to some guys of indeterminate age being very immature about Vampirella comics. In other words. I'm in hell. #comicsky

🎨UNPAINTED🎨 In the cloistered society of the painted faces, marriages are arranged by wealth & skin color; pale skin is more valuable than gold. Queer folks either marry against their nature or get disinherited. Sometimes, they get lucky. danifinn.itch.io/unpainted books2read.com/b/bo9A09

Batgirl(s) sketches. { #batgirl #dc }

I just heard the "What it Sounds Like" demo and oh my god, the lyrics that didn't make the final cut of the movie are even more trans coded than the rest of the song. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go cry listening to it again. #KpopDemomHunters

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

Faith in humanity.

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

This is the discourse I need today.

Characters from the DC Universe who would appear as guests on the Muppet Show in-universe: Wonder Woman Beast Boy Vixen Animal Man The Metal Men Conner Kent Fire Maxwell Lord Swamp Thing, but only after being asked by Kermit the Frog personally (Booster Gold would want it but not get the invite)

In the latest update of BLADE MAIDENS... In the first of a three-part short, Eldridge and Rowan share a quiet moment and some COMMON GROUND. The whole short is available at www.blademaidens.com right now, with the other two pages being posted here tomorrow and Saturday.

Trans people are a "losing issue"??? PEOPLE are not "losing issues." They are who you protect and care for. They are who you take risks caring for and protecting. You saying trans people are a "losing issue" is antihuman and disgusting and proves you don't get the point of literally anything in life

Not gonna lie, kind of struggling to maintain Christmas cheer in the face of our fucking evil government.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I just adore the way @iamhandaxe.bsky.social writes Harley. This issue is my favorite part of DC KO so far. Great characterization for both the leading ladies, and the alternate Harley outfits we get to see are so good. This is the kind of issue I was hoping for when #DCKO was announced. #comicsky

This week, as a special holiday treat, we will be releasing an entire 3-page Eldridge and Rowan short--COMMON GROUND. All 3 pages will be released on our site on Thursday, with the pages being posted on here 1 per day afterwards. Happy Holidays from your Blaidens crew!

If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship

"Its okay to use AI so long as it's not in the final product." Why? Genuinely why do you think that? That makes no actual sense. If its okay to use at one step, why is it not okay to use at another step? Or are you just a spineless consumoid who can't stand to have to use your grey matter?

Read what I could about this and I've gone from disappointed to pissed. Using gen ai for concept art but not final assets is not a more ethical use of ai. That's like saying "blood money is fine because I laundered it through a legitimate business" You're still using stolen work! It's fucking gross

It breaks my heart to say this since Divinity was the only trailer at the game awards I was excited for, but unless @larianstudios.com stops using gen ai and releases a press release stating such, I will not be buying the game. I have over a thousand hours in BG3 and several hundred in each ...

Season 2 of Netflix's Tomb Raider show is pretty good and feels like it was sooo close to letting Lara and Sam kiss. So go watch it to increase my chances of being strung along for another season, or even better, finally getting the ship we've been hoping for since Tomb Raider (2013)

We know why Gaston is Gaston! It's because he lives in a society where "being Gaston" is richly rewarding, and literally the most high-status occupation you can have, and everybody sings about it. We don't need thinkpieces on the Gaston Loneliness Epidemic to understand why Being Gaston is a thing.

I really do have to credit the Knives Out flicks, they do an EXCELLENT job of being very modern and timely without feeling like they're trying to be all about social commentary or preach about it It's a natural part of the films' storytelling and has always worked for me

Only $1000 away from unlocking that @illaurastrates.bsky.social poster. You guys know what to do 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/wel...

Last chance to grab this YCH. Gonna turn it in to a Karlach / Shadowheart piece later this week if no one claims it. #ych #commissionsopen #commissions

I want to give a shout out to the guy working behind the counter at my local Wienerschnitzel. Not only did he not misgender me, he also spelled my name correctly, a feat even my closest friends struggle with.

Everybody should be picking up this Issue of Wonder Woman next month. Together we can show DC they need to get Stephanie on a Wonder Woman or Amazon ongoing ASAP! #comicsky #WonderWoman

Got reminded today that Superman Smashes the Klan exists, which means I'm thinking about this line "I wish it were ok for you to fly." I just want to say, to all the trans people like me who feel like it's not ok for us to fly, hang in there. We'll make it one day. Things will get better. (1/2)

Usually when December rolls around I'm in shock at how fast the year has gone by. This year? This year, I feel like I'm loosing my mind everytime I look at a calendar and see it's still 2025. Like, how has all this awfulness happened in just one year? Surely it's at least 2027 by now.

In the FINAL update of BLADE MAIDENS: DEAD IN THE WATER... Mel's new acquaintance is very, very hungry. Read it, and the entire series, at our website www.blademaidens.com!

The best holiday gifts you can give your trans relative or friend is acceptance and support and love. No one transitions to hurt another person. We transition to heal ourselves, to make ourselves whole, to become who we really were all along. Even when we might not have realized it for years.

Hey everyone going WELL TIME TO PLAY MORE FORTNITE TO HUNT DOWN PEOPLE WEARING HARRY POTTER STUFF No. Stop playing Fortnite. They're partnering with Rowling and Harry Potter in 2025, with full knowledge of what that decision means. Stop supporting them. Stop playing the game.

Everyone looked at this incredible pfp @hitoroki.art made for me! I'm love it so much!

banana frog ! 🍌🐸 #frogart

I decided that spooky season extends into December, bc who doesn’t love a heartwarming ghost story during the cold winter months? THE GHOSTKEEPER is a mug of hot cocoa and bundled in a blanket on a therapist’s couch for the soul ☕️ 👻 Find it here: theghostkeeper.carrd.co

Lila’s outside has never matched her inside, but she makes it work. Business is booming; her baths, spa, & sex shop are a hit. Meet-cute over a crate of alchemical vibrators! The World Within is about to be turned inside out. danifinn.itch.io/the-world-wi... books2read.com/b/md2L8W

Saw that terf queen loves huffing sharpies and I cannot stress strongly enough again and again the reason shes a horrible transphobe isnt the mold or sharpie fumes, its power, learned hate and the cult like nature of the terf movement. 1/🧵

#CriticalRoleSpoilers Please ignore me as I yell, "IT'S A CRITICAL, ALL MELEE HITS WHEN THEY'RE UNDER A HOLD PERSON SPELLS ARE CRITICALS!" at my phone.🧚‍♀️

UPDATE TIME: One week left, we show off a preview of our next stretch goal, and shout out Tales of Mr. Rhee by @dirkmanning.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/wel...

😂😂😭😭😢

nobody needs AI to create graphic novels. ai will, in fact, never be able to create anything worthwhile. you're literally stealing the motivation, training, and confidence to make comics away from these kids you creep, leave them alone!!

I’m so fucking mad. Everyone should be mad. BE ANGRY. BE LOUD. Stop swallowing shit with a smile. Speak the fuck up. If we don’t fight for better we’ll drown in cheap junk and call it fucking progress goddammit
