Donatello, The Brain

This was actually the last of the 3 pieces I painted for the TMNT set for which I was VERY happy to contribute to

Donny wasn't one of my favs until now - his single-minded dedication to toiling away in a cluttered space hit pretty close to home

ever notice how a lot of poc companion characters in games are relegated to being paragons of virtue and the few that do get to be complicated get overlooked or vilified in a roster otherwise praised for their flaws

Witchy Yard Sale 🧹🧙🍂 #art

A digital illustration featuring a witch themed yard sale. A granny witch (on the left) shows a crystal ball to young witch customer. We see a few small dragons scattered around the painting. Two small dragons in the foreground are helping out with chores. Two small dragons resting beside each witch stare at each other curiously. We see witchy items: potions and candles with price tags on tables.

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".

More relevant than ever. This is why fascists try to censor artists first. This is why we can never stop, give in, or quiet ourselves.

Stay scary, fellow artists~ 😘
