🦇🎃 must be the season of the wiiitch 🎃🦇

Colored piece, drawing of a woman in modern clothes, jean shorts,t shirt, barefoot, with a crown of thorns on her head, wielding magic, giant flowers with an eye at their center in the dark background

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale
panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page
panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire
panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy
the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun
text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."

Color piece, drawing of a witch floating in the night sky, surrounded by glowing purple/pink swords she just summoned, a real giant rapier hovering next to her, her long curly hair almost wrapped around its blade
She has roses and thorns tattooed on her right upper arm, glowing magical patterns on the left one, a white tank top, skirt, tight with floral patterns, no shoes, and a fierce expression on her face
Pink moon and purple clouds in the background

Drawing of me as a witch floating in the night sky, wielding necromancer magic, holding a skull, wearing a witch hat, spiderweb pattern tights, a jean jacket, fishnet top, big goth shoes

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

Yikes, it’s more than a cry; they are absolutely melting down like the End Times have come.
Not even exaggerating.
They really think it’s over for them.

All because the Law Commission thinks that trans people should have the same protections from discrimination that other minorities already have.

🫜🌷🌶️ Caitlin Spice 🌶️🌷🫜 @catespice.bsky.social · Sep 4

The anti-trans crowd are having a cry because the Law Commission is recommending that transphobia should be made illegal.

Imagine being upset at the Law Commission for saying you shouldn’t discriminate against a minority?

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Chucking my stage/art sona out into the open for her soft debut ❤️✨🖤

Carmine's artsona, based pretty closely on their stage persona (she/they)
Digital sketches of a burlesque succubus character with split dye red and black hair and bat tattoos, wearing a matching half-red half-black corset with gold accents and color coordinated fringe. Gold jewelry dangles from their antelope horns. In the sketch on the left, they throw horns with one hand and hold a human heart aloft with the other, showcasing what will eventually be golden claw jewelry. In the second sketch, they pose playfully in heart shaped pasties and a wasp-waist corset instead of an overbust.
