when people get desperate to deny the transfeminity of a character, they will start employing a definition of "genderfluid" that is mutually exclusive with "trans woman" and then never she/her the character in question. its so blatant that they shouldnt get away with it as much as they do.

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

In the post 9/11 hegemon all you had to do to be interesting to white people was make your stage name [Country] [White Person First Name] and they'd treat you like the king's jester.

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

[maseratus]

Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.

[mousidy]

now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"

it's interesting bringing up some transfeminist theory to my drag race watching cis therapist thinking she'll disagree but then she just starts spitting incredible transfeminist truth that would cause 100 years discourse on tumblr.

[mousidy]

she was telling me that all her transmasc clients have soared up through their careers and have private insurance, while all her transfem clients are financially struggling and are on state insurance

she was like "they transition into privilege and patriarchy is happy to accept them as men" and what's awesome is she said her transmasc clients generally understand this privilege and use it responsibly, including in support of trans women

like girl they would kill you dead on tumblr.com

[mousidy]

and you know to be clear these aren't even things I would have said. I mean there's definitely Nuance at the very least. if I were to say the "transitioning into privilege" and "being accepted by patriarchy as men" things myself I'd want to be able to prove them out relatively rigorously, and I haven't done that, so don't take this as me doing a full cosign on these claims. but damn, she did just kind of say them

Sorry to post shit I found on reddit but this video has been on my mind for like 3 weeks now

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[mollyjames]

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

[karthonic]

For freelancers: I recommend getting yourself a copy of the Graphic Artists' Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines for reference-- the newest one dropped last year (I have the 16th edition). It helps you figure out your pricing, how to create a contract for various projects (and you can access free PDFs of templates you can use to modify for your own projects)! It's a good place to start and refer to-- even colleagues who are decades in the business (and former Guild Members too) still use it.

Inadvisable tabletop RPG jam premise #137: Game jam where each entry consists solely of paratextual discussion of the mechanics of a hypothetical or invented RPG; examples include an errata document, a developer Q&A, or a forum thread debating the correct interpretation of a particular rule.

[prokopetz]

@shoutyourporpoise replied:

I could SWEAR you’ve made this post before, or perhaps this is such a characteristically “you” concept that I already imagined a world in which you had

I don't think so, no. I did once (unintentionally) curate a game jam about writing supplements for invented or hypothetical games, the product of which you can find here, but this is a different thing.

[prokopetz]

(If anyone really wants this one to be a thing, though, feel free to toss your entry into the reblogs. I'm not going to do a proper game jam on itch.io or whatever because its UI really wants you to have cover art and a promotional blurb and such, and this doesn't feel like it warrants it!)

Flow of Battle Errata 1.17

The Elemental Aura perk for the Blade Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a blade and dismissing a blade are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss a blade over and over again to re-trigger Elemental Aura to deal infinite Panic to a target.

The They're Already Dead perk for the Blade Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a blade and dismissing a blade are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss a blade over and over again to re-trigger They're Already Dead on a different opponent in the battle.

The Scimitar Dance perk for the Blade Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a blade and dismissing a blade are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss blades in both hands over and over again to stack infinite dance bonuses.

The Healing Embrace perk for the Shield Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a shield and dismissing a shield are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss a shield to re-trigger Healing Embrace to remove infinite Panic from a target.

The Fist Flower playbook can no longer take both the Stand In The Air and the Double Jump perks. You must choose one or the other.

The bonus action gained from Staff Flower playbook perk Hit Them Again cannot be used to trigger another Hit Them Again bonus action and deal infinite Panic to a target.

The Max Panic table on page 87 includes disarming in several entries. Disarming is now defined as being forced to dismiss your Flow weapon and not being able to summon it or any other Flow weapon or using any other Flow weapon, and shields count as weapons, until your character loses Panic.

The Dance Belt accessory is now the Dance Boots accessory.

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

[pawberri]

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

[pawberri]

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

Here are the line art and black and white versions of the undamaged Lilly of the Valley. I like to render pieces like this in black and white first, and then recolor them in Procreate with Gradient Map so I can play around with palettes more easily.

And for completion’s sake, here she is after taking a few hits. Feel free to use any of these images if you’d like to use them in your next Lancer mission, or to recolor them to fit your frame better!
