You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

This is a digital illustration. A mosaic of super deformed character portraits in colorful or washed off tones. There are six portraits total, including a traveler with a fur-lined coat, a Final Fantasy XIV raen character with a beret, a sad blue woman with a jellyfish cut, a steely-gazed woman with a military collar, a wet sad grey man with a half-petrified face and a glassy gaze, and a cocky blond man with a patterned poncho.

acta of the blue lagoon

This is a digital illustration done in a painterly style, showing the portrait of a young woman. She has dark green eyes, medium dark skin, and her brows knit in subtle concern, eyes wet. Strong mint green rim lighting hits her face, a high contrast next to the soft pinks she basks in. She has short brown hair, and her front bangs are white.

🩸 The demo of IVRESANG is now out on itch. It's a dark gothic supplement for the game #Ironsworn allowing you to make vampyrical heroes. I've been working on it since Oct. 2024, and this is a micro-preview of all the wonderful things to come.

Thinking about how the Daft Punk's Alive 2007 was one of the best sets of all times, each track a gut in the punch and completely unexpected, the crowd's reactions as part of the whole fucking album is crazy

Brood Vampyrs I play on Ivresang, i have missed free sketching with a pen tool

This is a digital illustration. In majorly black, grey and with white highlights, and with a paper, grainy texture. Four different characters stand, some in portrait, one in fully body, another in thigh-up shot... Without seemingly any relation.

One with nappy hair and piercings looks ahead, distantly. Another with choppy hair seems ready to run, readying her whip, in a tight, sporty gothic look. Another looks to the side with a cravat and an asymmetrical collar, long curly black hair framing the side of his face. The last one stands tall, showing claws, looking directly to the viewer, a small rat on his shoulder.

This is a digital illustration and close-up of the first image. It focuses on the wompan vampyr with her wip and the tall vampyr with the rat on his shoulder. The woman is tattooed, smiles wickedly, and seems ready for anything. The man, standing tall, is adorned with necklaces and charms, a high collar and a long, dark coat. His eyes shine something eerie, and he looks bored.

This is a digital illustration, and another close up of the first image. The main huge vampyr on the left has chained earrings and a spiked lower lip piercing. Their eyes are lidded, and they look proud.
The smaller bust features a vampyr with strong eyebrows and curly hair, creole earrings, and a smug, confident smile.

I love TTRPG books because structurally you can often start them from one chapter, read backwards, forward, all of it from page 1, whatever, however you like.

When you're disabled, you spend less time beating yourself up because you can pick it up and not have to read every page to start playing!!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".
