Finally uploaded a bunch of the art I've done to my cloud storage instead of just on my phone, so I'm gonna share the four good ones of Grimmshadow because I am still obsessed with my own OC to the point of planning like a 12 book series with him.

I am unhinged.

A character sheet of Grimmshadow, the Night Court Puck, without his cloak. He's got buff color fur, orange hair, and blue pants and arm braces. He can make spears and knives of bone, which he weilds in the posing section. His large, yellow eyes and sharp teeth can look unsettling at times.

Wolf the werewolf has ambushed Grimm in his own room! Grimm is in his underwear and only partly transformed, pinned to the door by Wolf. Wolf is giving Grimm an alluring grin, but Grimm cannot pay too much attention, as someone is pushing into the door to get into his room. Grimm seems worried about this other person seeing them both.

A dark and shadowy scene of a building with stars in t sky. A dark figure sits atop a street lamp, with his dark shadow keeping the lights from that and one of the windows from spilling out. The stark yellow eyes of the figure are reflected in the stars, windows, and dark spaces of the scene. In the forground there is a Werewolf looking figure in a leather vest with his back to the viewer looks at the shadowy figure

A character sheet of Grimmshadow, the Night Court Puck, with his purple cloak. While it's hard to see beneath that, he's got buff color fur, orange hair, and blue pants and arm braces. He can make spears and knives of bone, which he weilds in the posing section. His large, yellow eyes and sharp teeth can look unsettling at times. His eyes and teeth are bright in the shadow of his hood.

I saw myself as maybe all in for J.B. Pritzker

But I am losing faith, rapidly.

Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

Note: it's not even curfew yet.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

I'm sick of "let's make this piece of children's media dark and gory." I want a return to the era of "let's make this child-unfriendly property into a Saturday morning cartoon."

Mainly, I want a The VVitch cartoon where Thomasin and Black Phillip have this dynamic.

Beetlejuice (with his head held in one hand) and Lydia from the Beetlejuice cartoon.

Nothing more Harvard than for these professors to think the solution is “inform the New York Times” rather than “give the students lower grades.”

NYT push alert reading: Harvard's Campus Culture
Students who skip class and fail to do the reading still get high grades, a group of professors say. Now, they are trying to change the culture.

#Repostober where I repost art.

Day 11

Throwback to 2023 when I was drawing spell cards for Davian, my celestial warlock, on my lunch break.
#dndart #dnd5e #warlock #bskyart #artistsupport #ocart #aasimar

Minimalist style of a Hex spell card showing a monstrous creature get cursed by stars

Minimalist spell card for the spell Sacred Fllae showing a hanf with constellation tattoos summoning white iridescent frames

Minimalist spell card for the dnd cantrip Blade Ward showing a habd with the thumb and index extended, other fingers folded. Stars placed on the fingertips form a constellation summoning the protective ward

Minimalist spell card for the Eldritch Blast spell where a silhouette with long white hair summons an iridescent snake lunging at its target

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

In addition to destroying ICE and DHS, we should probably start thinking about a reparations framework. If they keep records on which officers conduct arrests, we could make individual officers liable to pay damages to their victims.

The line "I'd rather put a gun in my mouth" is so fucking metal and the exact amount of fuck you I'd love to see more folks have about ai generated content

Why the FUCK would I want to let something else take the fun from me when it comes to writing?

@OneChrisEdwards

It takes some kind of balls to even suggest this to the creator of The Wire:

Juno Rylee Schultz

@junoryleejournalism.com

Follow

David Simon, creator of 'The Wire', being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...

SIMON: What?

SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...

SIMON: You imagine that?

SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

the illinois state police are helping ice because they support them and @govpritzker.illinois.gov is sending the isp to help ice because he supports them. if that wasn't true they wouldn't do it and it's fuckin stupid to write fanfiction trying to wishcast otherwise

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

You’ll never guess how much empathetic outrage Benny Johnson expressed when someone broke into Nancy Pelosi’s house with the intent to kill her, fracturing her husband’s skull in the process.

There’s lot of disturbing language in the letter mailed to pro-Trump influencer Benny Johnson, but will be curious to see if a jury sees this language as an actual threat.

DOJ charges man with sending threatening letter to pro-Trump influencer Benny Johnson

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the charges at a news conference in which Johnson argued that violence had been "mainstreamed by the Democrat Party."

she lost at skateboarding and became transphobic. Now it’s this. The amazing thing is that you can set your watch to this: all of the people who hate trans women also hate cis women. It’s just misogyny, through and through
