repentance, aka tance, my fake rogue trader npc. an unlucky blank conscripted into the inquisition after they were framed for murder, now trained as a bootleg culexus assassin

i got really into playing ttrpgs and other roleplay, so now all i draw is fashion dolls of my 20 different characters

fan culture is kind of inextricable from capitalism in a way that does feel in friction with my queer identity; these days i'm not so comfortable letting corporations facilitate or have a large say in my relationships to art and creativity

i think a lot of "dark" art online is kind of reactionary, & i dont find that very interesting even though ill uphold its right to exist, but i think looking at extreme art ppl are making outside of reactionary spaces (a category i would honestly put fandom in) helps ppl grasp other reasons its made

im a shy, private person, & dont like opening myself up to online misinterpretation & harassment by being radically pro-sexual expression on main, but to know that my own ability to express myself is being treated by policy as something dirty is like a vice around my heart, & i need ppl to know that

the idea that all nudity is inherently sexual is a tool of patriarchy that serves to enforce cis norms regarding bodies and objectify women, something feminists in the 2010s were protesting, so to see "what if my boss gets mad at a painting of a vagina" type stuff feels like we've just given up

bsky has been actively hostile to nsfw art from the very beginning, bc any site that algorithmically auto-tags work, which will never accurately reflect human categorization of types of content, is more interested in lazily avoiding imagined repercussions than in empowering users with curation tools

thinking about gort

crocheted a furry bat bonnet

media where "everyone sucks" shouldn't automatically be critiqued by the diegetic viewpoints of the characters within, but can still be critiqued by the sociopolitical authorial biases that informed it, as with any media

been getting really into books this year, so if you want my book recs, i made a storygraph account to keep track of everything i liked enough to finish: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/fain...

i engaged in sort of prudish fandom discourse as a teen who was fairly popular online at way too young an age, & the main thing that fucked up my growth from that was adult strangers, even well-meaning ones, constantly engaging w me and keeping me mired in that space where i was watched like a hawk

im sorry, every week i clutch my head because people are trying to blame literal teenagers being kind of prudish about fandom shipping for credit card companies banning porn, instead of the credit card companies

please stop saying puritanism when you mean fascism. puritanism is a useless online buzzword that means nothing. leftist teenagers are not even able to ban porn; the reason credit card companies are doing it is because they are owned by fascist conservatives who want to save money on moderation

i won't lie, bsky automatically censoring all images with nudity/gore with tags the artist themself can't choose has been a huge mental setback to me making the type of art i wan't to make, because i don't know where i'm supposed to put it for it to actually reach people

My friend @knightofbunnies.bsky.social got a sick new job so I had to bust out the champagne and sabre to celebrate 🥂🍾🗡️

my 4 days of gen con fashion

my gen con tradition is taking pictures of me chugging beer in lolita

look at my housemate's awesome swag

unreasonably high effort meme redraw lol #warhammer #twicedeadking #necrons

don't forget that trans women in particular are one of the groups most disproportionately affected by cultural censorship, because part of the point is to make them unable to talk about their own experiences or express their sexualities in any way

linking to my xiv mods on main bc that's the only form of digital content i have to offer this week; as i said there, ko-fi donations are helpful until i find new work 💖

i am currently looking for a new job, at the end of my savings, and xiv costs money to keep playing, so please peruse my mods, and if you happen to like one, tips would be really helpful right now 💖🫠

as someone who grew up in a conservative christian environment, stuff like banning porn isn't about morality, it's about control. it's about getting rid of people rich straight white people don't like and making up reasons to do it. don't waste time engaging with their moral logic-- there is none

me and my housemates are in gen con's promos this year :D im not on FB or twitter like the other two so i'm posting it here

swapping between balatro and armored core 6 to distract me from anxiety

twice dead king by nate crowley is a duology of books that has exactly the kind of queer cannibalism allegory and king/knight romance people on here like, it's just told through warhammer robot skeletons. which is a wild thing to have been made. go read about my skeletons

i think people who care about experiencing good stories by marginalized people should read books, even if it's hard on their attention span, bc anything that costs large amounts of money to produce (video games, tv) is going to be sanded down for general audiences, but books have more bandwidth

sorry i rarely post art right now, i got way too into the warhammer robot skeleton guys whose books somehow contain beautiful allegory for identity and memory
