Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however!

[Start ID. A Digital Drawing Of The Artificer From Rain World. They're In Midair, Black Smoke Curling

[Start ID. A digital drawing of the Artificer from Rain World. They're in midair, black smoke curling around them after two explosive leaps, tossing a spear at one of the two Scavengers on the faraway ground and readying a grenade with their other hand. She's snarling with her mouth wide open, exhaling short puffs of smoke, its throat glows. Scars litter its body, shrapnel and burns and nicks from spears, hands darkened from throwing bombs. The background is solid-color, dull red, but there's a ladder and scattered spears and rubbish in the distance The drawing is completely taken up by a first-level karma symbol, which casts a bright, gold light upon the parts of the image it overlays. End ID.]

started Arti's campaign on April 25 and was immediately enamored > ended Arti's campaign on May 5 and decided to finish this up about it

[Start ID. Two Drawings Of Hollow Knight OCs In The City Of Tears. The First Depicts Solper And Caramel,
[Start ID. Two Drawings Of Hollow Knight OCs In The City Of Tears. The First Depicts Solper And Caramel,

[Start ID. Two drawings of Hollow Knight OCs in the City of Tears. The first depicts Solper and Caramel, an owlfly and carpenter bee respectively, just before they duel in midair, from a vantage point behind Caramel's shoulder. They're a fair distance from the ground, which is composed of a scattering of large cobblestone islands, partially submerged by a dark sea. They both seem rather enthused, fighting for fun—Caramel has her mantis claw held out to the side and other fist raised, while Solper's sabre is poised beside his head, his other limbs akimbo. The entire drawing and particularly the background are indigo-toned, drenched and shining under perpetual rain.

The second shows Molini, Hawksbeard and Dandy, a millipede, grasshopper and a moth. Molini contentedly sits as the other two use her as a bench, circled around a fire as they've just finished boiling tea, the kettle is propped up on Dandy's nail and settled between two poles taken from Solper and Caramel's battleground. The background is dark enough to appear fully blank, though a handful of lumaflies and the light of a hidden central fire shine upon the three bugs. Hawksbeard is chatting, the others listen, all three holding cups from which pale steam rises in clouds. While the firelight is particularly bright, the tone of the drawing is warm, in both color and feeling. End ID]

March 30 was the first time I'd interacted with @hollypies (feat. their Dandy), and April 5th my earliest memory of @original-character-chaos (feat. his Solper). So I offer a two-weeks-late first-anniversary drawing to my mutuals :]

peridots-reblogs hmm. this is only my second srb i think ever (last one was the izzy drawing which shared the privilege of a month-anniversary reblog) ((even if this one's a day late)) but i just enjoy this one! i had to look at it again cause i'm updating art fight refs and i can appreciate the time put into these (cough. three weeks). i describe all of my art as experimental but these two especially so and i suppose i'm still proud of the water-shine and the tint of the background and the rain in the first one and the warmth and the vivid lighting and the steam in the second. plus it's gift art which always takes the longest but is the most. fulfilling maybe? i adore making people happy and i think that's finally come back around to become the reason i post!!! and i'm feeling good today. so hi ghost hi nattou hi nox and holly and qwerty hi to everyone who i've drawn something for hi to anyone who never got a reply hi to the mutuals i never talk to and the mutuals i do hi to the people who've been following me forever hi to everyone who sees me in their notes from time to time and hi to everyone who i see in my notes from time to time. i'm making this post one of my testaments to a love of my friends because hey it's my blog and i should get to be sentimental like that! and looping it back around again that's one of the reasons i'm so excited for art fight in the first place. it's a chance to give back to all of my fandom neighbors who're always presenting such rad art and give back to the people who always show up for me now: is this coherent rambling in the tags? no!! and if it is that's not one of my posts! so i present this to you all and goodnight :]

woe! first art post since a month ago be upon ye! take my gay bugs

Woe! First Art Post Since A Month Ago Be Upon Ye! Take My Gay Bugs
Woe! First Art Post Since A Month Ago Be Upon Ye! Take My Gay Bugs

[Start ID of the first image. A digital drawing of the five bugs forming Team Taranoake, drawn without anthropomorphized biology, short clips of text describing each one's name, pronouns, species, and size. The background is a solid-color pale orange, with the rest of the drawing being similarly flat-colored and golden-toned. The first shows Kritto, an azure damselfly, who stands on two legs with short stilts to counter the length of xer abdomen. She's light teal with black stripes, holding a brown scroll in one claw, the other pair of arms tucked between her two backpacks behind xer. Next is Lidii, a worker of the ant species Myrmecocystus mexicanus, yellow and orange. She's rambling about something excitedly, just barely propping up the thick wooden weapon beside her. Third is Rantan, an ox beetle, brown with yellow fur. He subjects himself to whatever Lidii's talking about, sitting with all six limbs on the ground and a mildly tired expression, resting their head on one claw. Gorge, a light purple coquina clam, is settled beneath two of Rantan's legs, his shell decorated with small notes and scribbles from work as an archivist. Last is the sea slug Ceras, a single-stalk aeolis, pink with bright stripes of yellow and white along their cerata. She's drawn further away from the rest, his head turned back towards the other four bugs. Like Kritto, they're marked as an honorary member of the team, lacking the seaglass bracelets shared by the three close-knit bugs from the center of the drawing. End ID.]

^ once again, these guys are from a universe I made with @froggoexists :]

[Start ID of the second image. A colored sketch of two humanized original characters, Ceras, a sea slug from the previous image, and Thorn, a Hollow Knight vessel. They're both drawn from the waist up, facing forward, close enough that Ceras's hand wraps around Thorn's shoulder. Ceras is shown as a young Black person, their cerata incorporated as long locs dyed pink, white and yellow, and piercings stud their ears and tongue. Thorn is paler-skinned, taller and thinner than Ceras, with pointed ears, and white hair styled at the top into two rows of spikes. Ceras is wearing a studded denim vest, thoroughly decorated with eclectic pins and patches, mostly of bands, bugs, games, and simple declarations of hope. Thorn wears instead a black leather jacket, with long studs at the shoulders and smaller ones along the sides and center. One sleeve is torn off, as they don't have a right arm, and the other is cuffed to display the adaptive device making up half their left. Ceras is sticking their tongue out and smiling, one eye shut and the other turned to Thorn, stimming with their free hand. Thorn's looking back at them with a smile.

The background is simple, a pink horizontal wave. There's a bright, pale halo behind Ceras' head, one which resembles a spoked wheel or a sun, seeming to cast light upon the two of them. A line at the bottom of the image reads "part-god mute disabled they/she/he bug punk BESTIES", and at the top of the image there's a small doodle of their original forms sitting together contentedly. End ID]

bugs hollow knight others ocs peridots-art peridots-ocs original-character-chaos peridots-described caramel hk hawksbeard hk molini hk hk ocs solper hk dandy hk hollypies that tag should've grammatically been others' ocs but okay. anyway on with the rambling i have been working on these for THREE WEEKS but to be fair i was drowning in pain from a toothache that resulted in a root canal. for like half of that time. and i work slowly anyway. so with all the extra time I got this ended up being a good study in backgrounds and unfamiliar lighting and cohesivity though!! not to stop anyone from noticing the giraffe weevil kettle but both that and the blanket hawks is sitting on are gifts from Caramel while i've never been one to put many worldbuilding headcanons into anything i think willoh/the grimsteeds are from the same place as her 'gifts' is a bit inaccurate as it's communal between the trio but yknow. also i didn't show it here but the first two are definitely in the bg of the second drawing somewhere just Conked Out. they just feel like the type who'd fight tirelessly and painfully just for funsies it has been very hard not just blatantly telling both of the recipients here that Hey I'm Drawing You Something. but i enjoy surprises anyway i know i had a lot to say here but i can't remember anything else so i think that sums it up. @ nox n holly: very sorry for not planning ahead further but i can't believe it's been a year and you guys are awesome. so <333 edit: it is now others' not other's. fantastic. not sure if the two tagged here get notified when i edit the tags here but if they do see i hope they have wonderful new years

bugs peridots-reblogs ohhh i am going to bite someone for all my favorites being the least-liked...no respect for bugs on the bug poll website???? wasps were my immediate choice obviously. discord name was wasp apologist supreme for a while. they've always fascinated me even before i liked bugs and i absolutely adore them.... nevermind the fact that most species are parasitic and want nothing to do with humans i love wasps ok??? but on the logical side they prey on agricultural pests and pollinate a few species that don't have any other pollinator they're a Very Important part of our world and i'll defend them forever (even if i'm instinctively still terrified of the social ones lol) anyway i'll admit spiders earned their place at the top they literally do not hurt humans like Ever and (like the wasps of course) are actively beneficial to us!!!! roaches i find very cute but i'm biased and anyway there are around 3500 known species of them and only 1% of those live in human homes. mosquitos i'm not the biggest fan of but i'll still argue vehemently that they're an important part of their ecosystems. without question the worst thing about loving bugs is the fact that every single time i try to look up stuff about em all the top results are exterminator websites. or every time there's an insect or myriapod displayed amongst other interesting animals all the comments show disgust and malevolence rather than anything remotely close to reverence. idk it's just. really hard having something that brings me such great joy also being something that everyone actively wants dead. calls for the total extermination for. thinks should die out. squished under their shoe or a frying pan without a second thought it truly SUCKS and i get a little emotional but hey i've managed to make my family change their minds on bugs so that's a start for sure. don't let an aspiring entomologist around one of these polls is the moral of the story

Would there be cyborgs in the robot world though 🥺

there sure would be!! Not that I technically have any cyborg characters (yet), but they are fairly widespread! (They typically have human brains and so are classified as human, though they get to shop at the same hardware/limb places as bots do :])

rain world peridots-nonsense aka gUESS WHO JUST BEAT RAIN WORLD. AFTER TWO AND A HALF MONTHS i got into subterranean like a week ago but have been mostly hanging around by the worm grass shelter for 20 cycles i went to every region (even if i only spent a couple minutes total in drainage lol). met every echo besides the farm arrays one. got every passage achievement (every one besides dragon slayer/wanderer in outskirts and industrial within my first few weeks of playing) and never used a passage anyway. three months!!! rounding up a little! for a game that can be beat in less than 20 cycles. dh was twelve days (though i'd played through part of it years earlier). stray was seven hours. insc was only a couple days. i've done two separate ultkill playthroughs so not sure which to count but both were less than a week hk was actually just over a month. may 24 to june 26th. which is still so much less than this. bftes about a month too i remember how even just a week into rw i felt like i'd been playing it forever...even just a week in i knew it would be one of Those Games where i wish i could play it over for the first time again. boy was i right. it almost felt like a second life at times i loved just running around in certain areas building up stores of food and spears and vulture masks (what comes to mind are / HI_S02 / CC_S05 / SI_S04 / SB_S07. the first two felt like home!) (* up in the sixth tag i missed the friend. i was relishing in hubristic bloodlust especially in CC so i didn't have much time for taming) if the tags here seem particularly incoherent i only falsely apologize. i'm just. reminiscing. i don't think i can do anything else my heart was pounding as soon as i reached the depths. after 325 cycles. 116 hours. two and a half months. it's over. maybe a little dramatic but hey it took up an invariable portion of my life for a fifth of a year so. it's just interesting anyway. a standard ''i took too long on this and now the sun's rising'' goodbye to you tag-wanderer

transgender autistic swag bracket!!

inspired by this tweet:

Transgender Autistic Swag Bracket!!

rules/info:

they don’t have to be canonically trans nor canonically autistic. they just have to have the vibes.

you can submit as many characters as you would like but only one submission per person per character

the bracket will be seeded so that the character with the most submissions goes up against the least and so forth. this is to keep it from being the most epic showdown ever in the first round and then super anticlimactic in the finals

no real people. you’re welcome to submit them and give your reasoning to make me laugh but they won’t end up in the bracket.

no harry potter characters or mcyt. this is just a personal boundary as the person making the bracket.

don’t be a dick. this is all for fun and games. i will block liberally if i need to.

give me your reasoning!! it doesn’t affect the likelihood of them getting win, it’s just fun

propaganda allowed and encouraged!! you can send an ask with it, submit it, or tag me in it! it’ll be under #trans autistic swag propaganda

no characters are automatically included but there are many characters i’m hoping will make it in and i’m excited to see who y’all submit!!

this isn’t just for binary characters, nonbinary characters are encouraged. also let’s try and get some good transfem rep/headcanons in here. we can do it.

i might add more rules. this is my first time running a bracket so be patient with me.

google form for submission will be posted tomorrow!!

inspired by under the cut

thank you for the inspiration @goldenretrieverguybracket @eldest-sibling-tournament @nicejewishcharactershowdown @firefighterbracket @cringefaillosersummit @meangirlbracket @noncanongayestbitchestournament and many more, im too lazy to tag them all.

special shoutout to @tboyswag @chemicaljacketslut for their inspiring brackets from before the poll feature

Id: A Digital Mostly Greyscale Drawing Of An Original Character-izzy, A Humanoid Robot. He’s Shown

id: a digital mostly greyscale drawing of an original character-izzy, a humanoid robot. he’s shown to a little below his hips, tapping his cheek with his eyes closed, his other hand is placed in his lap and his tail is wagging. next to its head there’s a green heart. the background is white and in the top right corner of the image, there’s the  “you literally cannot make out with a robot, the fuck. keep sucking his flat face” meme, it’s partially obscured by izzy and its opacity is lowered. end id

one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this
