I'd love to see more religious exploration in fantasy that isn't just "well religion bad because control"

I wanna see how religion shapes your world's culture, how the politics of religion have shaped society, how mysticism and folk practice have been coopted into the dominant religious sect

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

hundreds, thousands, millions of times — and in each one I seek you, the man with no name

An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.
