Crazy good stuff

Reposted by Nic Boone

Qsy @qsy.bsky.social · Oct 11

Hello I'm Qsy, a very French artist drawing historical and NSFW art to support my crippling croissant addiction.
If that's something you're thinking of helping with, you should check out my Patreon @ Qsy and get access to my work in real time.
Right wingers can fuck right off ! .w.b

Visual pun on the double meaning of Goth as the Migration Era people who invaded the Roman Empire and the moody fashion movement that gets people horny.
She is a big tiddy goth girlfriend wearing a lamellar armor corset over furs and a black dress, with a seax and an axe held on her belt, pointing cheekily at her neck with the caption "Snap my Torque"

A chasseur and a voltigeur for Trench Crusade.
The chasseur is wearing a reseda green uniform with a coat of plate on her chest and maille chausses on her legs, with red pants and epaulettes. Her helmet is reinforced with a large bulletproof visor. She is holding her long barreled RSC1918 with one hand and wielding a francisca with the other.
The voltigeur is bare chested, with steel blue cavalry pants, leather boots and gaiters and a hussar pelisse worn over her shoulder. her guts are protected by a sheepskin and an Adrian breastplate, and her face is obscured with a camo hood. She is holding a blade in each hand and carrying a number of others on her person.

A cover for the fictional magazine Tomboy BiMonthly done for Pride Month, headed by two little pride flags for transgender and non-binary people. It features my characters Chandelle on the left and Modeste on the right. Chandelle is sitting down and wearing a navy suit with a dull gold tie and matching spats, with a checkered vest combining both colors. Her hair is cropped short in her usual haircut and she has bigass eyebrows because she's gender like that. She is smiling up at Modeste, who is leaning on a bar counter. She is wearing her full dress 5th Hussard uniform, which is made up of a sky blue dolman and kepi with gold buttons and white braiding, a black trimmed navy pelisse also with white braiding, red and navy pants and leather riding boots and gaiters. She has a Mle1882 revolver holster strapped across her chest and she is holding one glove in her hand, with the other naked one resting on the butt of her saber which I've got to say is pretty hot. Don't hate.
The overall color palette is warm with many shades of gold. The bottom of the picture is filled with a frame quote from a real book, the 'Illustrated Book of Manners: a Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments' published in 1866, which explicitly says it's fine for women to have male gender expression actually.

The Halloween picture for 2024 featuring a Vehmic blood witch. She is wearing a khaki green French military greatcoat with a matching conical witch hat, which has camo streamers hanging down from the rim all bearing an eye symbol. The coat is covered with leather webbing from which hang down pouches, but also many blood filled syringes, bags and valves, a bayonet frog and darkly painted grenades adorned with demonic symbols. On her lapel is an Artillerie Spéciale pin of a salamander breathing fire inside a wreath.
Her sleeves are pulled up and you can see small scars on her arms and neck. An IV is running from her many syringes into the crook of her right arm, which is holding in a gloved hand a horned skull whose forehead bears the SATOR square engraved into it. Her other hand is holding a Mle1874 Gras bayonet, point dripping blood in a wide arc.
The picture's header reads SATOR OPERA TENET, which has been considered by occultists/quacks to translate roughly as "the Creator maintains his works".

Do you have a person you watch who talks philosophy that brought up evola? If yes, you really should probably disengage from that.

Nic Boone @nicboone.bsky.social · 1d

Youtube is now innundated with julius Evola apologists rediscovering his work and acting like it has room to be considered. This is a lie, evola was a fascist who worked with mussolinis regime. There is nothing to debate, and anyone making this kinds of videos is actively doing a cryptofascism.

Anyway, we must build a world where all profession and people can take pride in their labor. We must not succumb to the belief in the myth of special individuals, and instead dedicate ourselves to a true love of creating things- seperating our the employment aspect and the creation aspect for good.

So much of the issues we have is placing so much emphasis on only ever doing art, as if it is in our control at all who gets to do how much art, or that conversely it simply isnt our problem, and throw our hands up because we just wanna do art, not have to think and deal with all that.

We live in dark times, but this means we should use this as an opportunity to learn to approach art seperately from any conversation about economic deservingness, and how to do it while juggling having to live as a prole. The exclusivity of art as a job should be seen thru that prole lens as well.

Someone needs to harvest crops, work in a factory, a power plant, in sewage, or move cargo etc. The thing i feel a lot of artists miss is that not all jobs have some kind of fulfilling individualistic quality to them, doing art exclusively as a job is a big ask, it has socio-economic implications

the @lunaoi.bsky.social translations of vietnamese textbooks of marxism leninism are hands down, the best peices of text ive ever read on the subject. Its direct, easy to understand, and in many ways better than many of the english specific and historical texts ive read over the years

I block anyone who is posting ai slop or features it anywhere. Dont really care if you agree with any of my takes or like my art when you are both indistinguishable from bot accounts and also completely incompetent when it comes to the desire to learn a skill.

Everyone expected that greta and the freedom flotilla would be illegally intercepted and they would be detained and sent back- fewer expected to watch them torture greta and her comrades.
