idk which reblog prompted it suddenly getting an influx of notes a year later but it's been very amusing...I like how on tumblr posts can still circulate for a very long time instead of getting buried after a while :P

sharing my old blasian link doodles here since it's randomly been getting more notes on tumblr lately (even tho I posted it a year ago LOL) #art

Two digital bust drawings of Link from Breath of the Wild, drawn as a Black Asian person. He has warm-toned brown skin, brown eyes, and dark brown locs tied into a ponytail similar to canon Link's hairstyle. A few locs decorated with blue hair cuffs hang loose up front, framing his face. He has a wider, slightly arched nose and fuller lips compared to his canon design. In both drawings he wears a somewhat serious expression.

Another drawing of blasian Link. He's holding up his sword and staring forward with a determined expression, looking a bit angry. It's a redraw of a frame from the game. The original reference image is faintly visible off to the side.

Hi #portfolioday ☀️

I’m a Polish illustrator & full-time 2D Game Artist. I love to create cozy art, usually celebrating nature or small moments of everyday life. I want to bring feelings of comfort to everyone and brighten their day with my work!

Gouache illustration of a black cat wearing a scarf with various geometric patterns on it. The scarf is in warm shades with some green accents.

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges.

baby wrap

Fan art of Toriel from Deltarune carrying a baby Asriel. She has wrapped him up against her back with a long piece of cloth with the Deltarune on it and tied up in front of her. It's a method of carrying babies often seen in many countries in Africa. Baby Asriel is sleeping peacefully.

Fan art of Toriel, Asriel and a baby Kris from Deltarune. Toriel is teaching a slightly older Asriel how to carry his baby sibling Kris on his back and how to tie the baby wrap properly. Asriel is nervously balancing Kris on his back as Toriel is knelt next to them with her hand out in case Asriel loses his grip.

Reports From Unknown Places @clever-reports.bsky.social · 6d

We report: the sun leaks into the sky, and we find its echoes in the clouds for a long time after. We hear the hiss of high voltage arcing as we watch, and we wonder if some turning off and back on is in order. Some of the troubleshooting pages are missing from the manual.

Digital painting of deep blue sky, half-covered in wispy silver clouds. There is bright iridescence coming up into the frame like flames, all shades of the rainbow, overshadowing the rest of the sky.

Oh Joy Sex Toy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social · 8d

Showering with somebody else is already such an intimate, vulnerable action, but when your body dysphoria is at full alert it becomes an impossible ask. @qqnge.bsky.social tells a tender story about navigating that discomfort and finding connection.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/suds-n-kisse...

Suds & Kisses by Ange Friera, published 10/21/2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/suds-n-kisses-ange-friera

Ange Friera draws with a a thin, textured line and uses a color palette primarily of browns, oranges, and grays- except for later in the story when the colors shift to blues, pinks, and maroons.

The view starts outside of a residential building, just barely showing a person sitting on their couch on the other side of the window. The point of view jumps to the main character, who is looking at the TV remote in their hand, with the cuff of their thick brown hoody pulled up to their wrist.

"Oh, it's out!" From behind their shaggy red hair, the viewer sees that the main character has a movie menu open on their wide TV screen.

"'The Maestro'?" Calls a voice from the next room.

"Yeah, c'mere!" The red-headed person replies, gesturing at the screen. For the first time we can see that they are a non-binary masc person with a light orange skin tone, round eyes, and multiple facial piercings and wearing a big thick hoody. They are holding a throw pillow against their chest while browsing the offerings on TV.

"Oh, shoot. Hold on!" The voice from the other room calls back.

Now popping their head in through the door with a towel slung over their shoulder, they continue, "I wanna shower first. Wait for me?" They have black hair that swoops over and past their shoulder, with the sides of their head shaved. Their skin tone is slightly darker than the other character's, and their eyes are almond-shaped.

"Only if you don't take forever!" Laughs the red head.

Cautiously, the black haired person offers, "You know... You're always welcome to join me. ...If you're feeling up for it."

"O-oh." The red head hugs their pillow more tightly to their chest, a nervous expression falling over their face. "..I don't know..." Beads of sweat roll down their cheek.

From off panel, the red head continues, "I just... don't feel comfortable in my body yet... Maybe after the surgery...?"

"Hey, hey..." The black haired partner interjects, waving their hands quickly as if to wave away their initial suggestion. "It's alright, baby. Don't worry about it." They're trying to be reassuring but their brows are knitted.

From their tight little ball on the couch, the red head replies, "... Okay..." without making eye contact.

"I'll be quick!" The partner says, blowing a little kiss before disappearing through the door.

A pink banner unfurls across the bottom of the page, stating "Read the rest on OhJoySextoy.com"

New from 404 Media: Trump's tariffs mean the libraries can't get their loaned books back. "They can't ship them back to us because their carrier either is flat out refusing to ship anything to the U.S., or they're citing not being able to handle the tariff situation."

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

The blithe acceptance of "that's what you get for pissing off a cop" is absolute cultural poison. No, it's fucking not, because you are not allowed to hurt people just because you're mad, even (especially) if you are in a position of power
