You better support Blanksword. Or else.

Lineless illustration of Blank, the protagonist of the game Blanksword, a fully white character with a white shirt and black ribbon, line eyes and no mouth. Behind him there's a shadow with his same silhouette in black, placing a hand on his shoulder.

she might not get the chance to stretch them much anymore..

Horizon slouching up to Dad, rubbing her back and looking vexed, saying "Ugh, Dad, sorry to bother you, but that stupid spot in the middle of my back is itching..." Dad looks up from his book with a smile and a, "It's no trouble, Sunny." Below that, rendered in a lot more detail, is Horizon sitting with her wings and elytra spread so that Dad can get in for a good scratch; the focus of the rendering is on her inner wings, which are dark and spangled with little stars (which is speculation on my part, to be clear).

honestly with the way the game's humor is trending i kind of assume this is just going to be a real poster

the meme depicting tiktaalik moving from "their filthy water" to "our blessed ground" and being met with spears, captioned "STOP THEM! 'You missed your chance, pal!' If you see a Horrid Beast evolving, PUSH IT BACK IN," with the Traitorpod drawn over it looking smug.

(2/2)

I shuffle up into the attic, turning on my flashlight, peering into the dank darkness of the attic. In my periphery a spider descends looking quite confused as I look around.
"Ugh, its so dusty! When was the last time I was even up her-"
I interrupt myself upon a stunning discovery.

"Oh..."
I shine my flashlight on a framed picture showing the last time I posted to my Tumblr: July 2th, 2024 @ 11:06 AM

I shrug "Welp!", now covering my snout with a mask and lifting up some cleaning impliments; a microfiber rag and a bottle of "Clean Perv" depicting a bulky, bald man with an earring making a masturbatory motion with his hand.

A significant amount of time is skipped as an unseen narrator explains:
"But it was halfway through cleaning when our intrepid, daemonic lagomorph realized..."
I speak up, rendered in a comedic fashion
"Oh yeah! I draw porn now! I won't be able to post a damn thing here!"
The narrator continues...
"She then abandoned her Tumblr yet again. She the proceeded to jack donng until she passed out, forgetting the dusty attic called "Tumblr" ever even existed."
The End.

Comic for my abandoned tumblr (1/2) 🧵

A dusty, dim attic with a trapdoor. A mouse sniffs a nondescript lump of matter while a spider dangles from the rafters. From beyond the door, the word "Ka-" is faintly heard.

A fist punches the door open with rancorous force with the word "Bam!" which is then followed by "fuck your dad!" The mouse scurries away and the spider looks frazzled.

A snout emerges from behind the doorway, sniffing the stale air before delivering an inquisitive "hmmm."

I (A demonic anthro rabbit) emerge from the doorway, looking suprised at the scenery of the attic.
"Well, fuck my voluptuous ass, I forgot this place existed!" I candidly deliver.

victor literally had a dream last night that told him the names/created purposes of our blanksword angelsonas and kudos to his subconscious because these are really good

The Angel of Corrections (victor) and the Angel of Record (me). Corrections is tall and nervous-looking, with horns like a rabbit's ears that have bioluminescent firefly organs on the underside. Record is short and chubby, with three horns like a chameleon's (two on the brow and one on the nose), their face, hands, and apron smeared with drips of various colors of paint. Text reads, "The Angel of Corrections: can magically discern truth from falsehood, not often allowed to speak the truth" + "The Angel of Record: eidetic memory, born to screenprint funky band tees, forced to make propaganda posters."
