#Blacktober 2025 has begun! Some friends once suggested, "Since Aira Shiratori is part-French, maybe he could be part-Haitian too?" I loved that idea!♥️ 🇯🇵+🇭🇹+🇫🇷

#MounaBatArt #EnStars #Blacktober2025 #EnsembleStars

Racebent fanart of Aira Shiratori from Ensemble Stars, where he has brown skin and freckles. He is surrounded by ribbons, Ace of Hearts playing cards, and a sparkly background. He's holding a turquoise lightstick. There is a speech balloon in the top-right corner with text that says "I love!"

Dear western scifi/fantasy artsit:

Look, incorporating Japanese/Asian motifs is totally fine. But please. Do not randomly place THESE GATES within your art just because it makes your work look more exotic and cool. I see far too many artists doing this without a second thought.

Good grief! Charli Brown is a lot happier after her egg cracked, and disaster lesbians Peppermint Patty and Marcie are of course very supportive! (And their former crush on the ol’ blockhead makes a lot more sense now!) 🪁

1. Abigail Spanberger is pulling ahead in the Virginia Governor Race, as her opponent, Earle-Sears blankets the state with anti-trans ads.

Now, a new poll shows why those ads are failing: Voters don't care about trans issues.

Those who do? They're Democrats.
