Giantess

Another illustration for Advanced Kinks and Cantrips.

A giant woman grips a tiny struggling adventurer in one hand. She glares at him, sitting up as if just disturbed. She has warm grey skin, a fur cape, and tree trunks lashed to her forearms as bracers.

Alright folks, its the work week again! Call your reps and demand they oppose these bills!

Additionally, try to mention the ongoing paypro situation and express how its wrong that big corpos get to decide what kind of speech is truly free or not!

I myself am a proud supporter of Newgrounds

Newgrounds as a website operates on a loss, and is mostly only up because Tom believes in having a place for all creators without the foibles of social media/algorithms, and I think it's worth supporting, like wikipedia

if you havent made any calls, or shipped any letters or sent any emails yet, and you feel like its "too late":

dont. its not too late. now is literally a perfect time to start joining in and contacting legislators and paypros in whatever way works best for you.

its a marathon, not a race!

for those of you that have somehow made it this long without ever calling: you literally just have to list the bills. you don't have to give a reason. if you get a person, they won't ask you why. if you get a voicemail, just say your address at the beginning. it took me less than 5 minutes to call 3

🍰 ARCADIA TORMENTA is now available on itch! 🍰

48 pages of one little guy's journey getting poked full of holes and filled with eggs and juiced like an orange and more and more........!!!!

take him to a loving(?) home today: godaughtr.itch.io/arcadia-torm...

an ink illustration with a green, yellow, and pink palette. a little long-haired man, half made out of cake, shoves a piece of his cake-body into his mouth and stares at the viewer, crying. two drawings of the same angelic character frame him on both sides.

a drawing of the jester in front of a screenshot of the interior of arcadia tormenta, showing off blurry pages of illustration and prose. the jester says: "48 pages of illustration, prose, and earthly delights both culinary and visceral! i wonder how many ways my jolly little body can be [redacted]. don't you want to find out too?"

Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.

Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save.

Save the png and repost as widely as you can

An illustration featuring Zevran Arainai and Warden Ulric Cousland from Dragon Age Origins sort of squished in -- what appears to be a second level of backalley?? SORT OF? Because this is how Zevran tells this story anyway.

The whole scene is set into Antiva - so the architecture is stylized to look like Venice with the red and teal tones, white ledges and cracked walls.

Ulric - the warrior with a massive scar on his face, is standing on some sort of convenient portal in the alley, leaning against the wall, while Zevran, the blond elven rogue dressed in a cape slid (or climbed? one never knows with Zev) down the alley and his holding himself up in between the two walls, dagger stabbed on one side above Ulric's head for leverage. Their faces are *very* close to each other, about to kiss, Ulric caressing Zev's chin playfully. The sun is lighting up Zev's hair.

The alley is partly overgrown by ivy. In the foreground there are little ropes with little flags.

Further research needed on PayPal, but this is a starting point
For Stripe, via stop-paypros.neocities.org

Stripe's Banking Partners' Customer
Services
When contacting them, we judge it's better to inquire to them if their execs told Stripe to not offer their services for adult content, rather than accuse them. They're associated with Stripe's Treasury API, not necessarily their main operations, it's highly possible that Stripe is lying to us.

The dialogue reads:

So Visa and Mastercard have a huge problem with legal adult content "damaging their brand"?

But somehow they dont't have any problem making money from child abuse in Roblox for over a decade (and going).

Truly the right companies to be our moral guardians.

This was fun; I got to show off the mythkin (the unicorn twink) species for this expansion.

A leather clad man ties up a pale, thin man with bright red robe. The rigger is muscular, with black leather gloves, gold capped boots, and dark makeup around his eyes. The man being tied is some fantastical creature, albino with a gemstone unicorn horn coming from his forehead. His cheeks are flushed with purple, and his white hair spills over the ground.
