I'm now a pinball state champion.

I keep expecting this to be some kind of weird dream, but this is the real deal.

The amount of validation for both my skill and identity are immeasurable.

Today proved more than anything else that Pinball Is For Everyone.

Down to my last $20 in PayPal and I still haven’t been paid by my job yet. 🥲 Any support would help a ton.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Hello new followers do you like motorcycle jousting lesbians? I have a book about motorcycle jousting lesbians. Would be cool if you checked it out :)

Also for fans of "eating the rich" and "former burnt out gifted children who grew up a little too perfectionist"

Ridani's relationship with her late mother is,,,complicated, and was further complicated by some recent information~

#OCSky #DnD #Comic #SupportArtists

A short, one-page comic featuring my fire genasi character, Ridani. The first panel features a closeup of her orange eyes glancing to the side, while the text reads "I wish..." and continues on the next panel to say, "...that I didn't understand." Here she is shown to have shorter wavy hair than she does currently. She's standing in water that comes all the way to her waist, and reaching up for a star. Around her, the sky and water glitter with stars, and her visible eye is full of stars. There's a kind of desperate want in her gaze and she looks up into the sky. The following panel shows a closeup on her hands, which are gripping a notebook tightly. Her short, red nails are visibly different from the pointed black talons she had in the last panel. the caption reads, "But I do." The next panel cuts to a full-body version where we can see that she's kneeling on the ground holding the same notebook. The ground in front of her is littered with pages covered in scribbles. The caption reads, "And I hate it."
The last panel is a zoomed-out shot of Ridani as a child, her fiery hair bright against the blackness of the water she stands in front of. Next to her is a dark-haired woman, her mother, pointing up at the sky. The caption reads, "I hate you."

✨HEX @ comm mines...

@hexlix.art

very sad to find aroace rep everywhere is a nonhuman entity that doesn't understand. as opposed to just not having interest.

show me your aroace ocs that are people at their core.

fantasy races are ok. i am just tired of aroace rep being relegated to eldritch creatures or robots

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Happy anniversary to Final Fantasy VIII! 🎉 My first and fave FF still to this day 💙

MAGFest is always so fun—especially getting to meet other FFVIII fans and play Triple Triad! Maybe we’ll eventually spot the rest of the crew...👀

Also, please enjoy the third photo of Triple Triad gremlin Rinoa 😹

Cosplayers dressed as Selphie Tilmitt, Squall Leonhart, and Rinoa Heartilly from Final Fantasy VIII

Four people are seated on the ground around a Triple Triad playmat. Three of them are focused intently, staring down at the mat. The Selphie cosplayer, however, is looking at the camera, hand outstretched in a shrugging gesture toward the Triple Triad and the others

A person in a Rinoa cosplay crouches on the ground in front of a Triple Triad mat while the Selphie cosplayer leans down slightly to take a card from her. In the background, another person watches the scene and laughs

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

Gotta love how every time I go on the Xfinity site to try re-configuring my plan I'm already paying way too much for, the site just flat out refuses to load anything.

Guess it's time to dial them up and read the riot act.

Ridaine - Commissions Open! 🇵🇸

@ridaine.bsky.social

I like making little outfits for her.... for Variety and because I like women. Miss Ethel who is allergic to buttoning her shirt...

#alttext #ocart #curseofstrahdpc #dndart

Ethel, a fairskinned human-looking woman who leans against a wall, her elbows resting at the top of it. She covers the lower half of her face with one hand to hide a smile.
She has shoulder length auburn hair and wears a white blouse that's open in the front, and dark gloves, waist corset, and pants.

A picture of the woman from the last image, but in the full outfit. She stands with a greatsword in one hand and wears a white blouse that's open in the front, and a dark cloak with pink and blue colours.
