"Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" 🌟MASTERPOST🌟

"Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" is a series that follows Aika, a reluctant magical girl, her new friend, Zira and magical mascot, Hoshi. These days, all Aika wants is to be a normal girl but with her "nemesis" Eclipse and the all powerful Lady DeVoid causing trouble, that dream seems to be unlikely.

More under the cut!

Authors, agents, publishers: every part of the industry is seeing the strain of five years of escalating anti-LGBTQ censorship.

if you'd like to show support, here are some upcoming queer books:

When Life Gives You Corpses is a brilliant YA about a cursed praying mantis who falls for a young witch. Yield Under Great Persuasion is a raunchy, but surprisingly sweet story about two men repairing their relationship. Fabulous Bodies is a horror story about a queer rockstar rising from the dead.

This is Where the Future Bleeds is a fantasy set in a vividly imagined land, where two women (who happen to kiss) are the key to healing the broken sky. You're No Better is a story about a teen struggling in the shadow of his murderous parent. Oil on Canvas is about a woman who finds disturbing paintings in the home of her dead mother.

and then here's a list of 26 queer books by Black authors set to publish this year, and a 10 upcoming books by trans authors. if you want to fight back against queer censorship, use your wallet! or (if that's not an option) you can contact your local library and ask them to stock a copy.

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

ragsy

How to "get it":

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

i was just gonna comment in the tags but! i wanna talk about it! cuz this is a cool topic! and that's a really good post! there are so many ways to appreciate art!! many layers in which you can approach any work! at all !!!

you can and Should engage for a moment with a piece! actually look at it! give it some thought!

art is a two-way conversation between the dumb shit i drew and your thoughts in your head!!!!! that's the whole point !!!!!!!!!!

this is true even if the art doesn't hold any meaning on purpose by the artist! it's still very engaging to think about why we like how the colors match, or how it all fits nicely within the borders of a page! it's good and healthy to consider why we like the things we do, and why we might not.

2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍

That feeling when Israel is buying up land and property in both of my countries 🥲.

Greece and Cyprus have been stated to be a target for Israeli "investors" and settlers, as a part of the EU it is a safe retreat from counterstrikes onto Israel from the countries it bombs. About 60% of all land and property purchases from foreigners in Greece are done by Israelis.

And on top of that recently massive amounts of public land/beaches in Vlore was sold to Israel by Albanian president Edi Rama. Barbwire fences have been put up around the beaches and land and have been closed down to the public, including one of the very few islands that Albania has.

Said island also has one of the last deltas in Europe, which is considered a reserve due to its importance for the local environment/ecosystem. And development on it has already begun, without announcement. Many trees on the fenced out land have been cut. Locals aren't allowed to go past the fence, many of whom also own property behind it and are being cut off of their land.

There has been protests, the fences were taken down once but they were reinstalled and are now being patrolled by Albania's own police.

Edit: it turns out I was wrong about a few things, first, the Israeli investors in Greece account for 40-50% of foreign land purchases, with the highest estimate I could find saying 57%

And the island of Sazan is not infact being sold, but it is unfortunately still being developed

There's a layer of playing dnd that's really just getting together with your friends and hanging out. It's an excuse to sit at a table with people you otherwise don't see very often, for 4-6 hours, every week or so. That's not available in most social settings. But I also want to play dnd while I'm here.

So thank you for showing me the collection of tiktoks you've saved since last week. If you will look to your left, there's a nefarious plot happening that I would like to be involved with.

Yes your boss is a shithead. He was a shithead last week and the week before, too. You know who else is a shithead? The cult leader we're trying to kill. We rolled initiative five minutes ago, while you were telling me about your boss.

rockshitty

Yeah man I wanna hang out. I love hanging out with you. But we're playing dnd right now, because the people who are capable of planning a get together wanted to play dnd and you asked if you could join. If you wanna plan something else that isn't dnd you can do that and I might come. Maybe not. Life is like that. But like we're playing dnd right now. So if you want to come to dnd night to hang out with us it would be really cool if you would play dnd at the dnd night you asked if you could join.

Stop showing me tiktoks.

Daily affirmations for tesla owners: your car is ugly as hell and everyone hates you

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

Normally, I wouldn't share photos of myself, but I was sewing a bit, so here you go. Old duvet cover transformed into a frilly shirt, haha.

s-u-w-i

For those who are interested - for the shirt I was pretty much following the instructions here and here. It's very nicely described and because it's basically only made out of rectangles the pattern is very simple to make and in general it's not difficult to sew at all. I had to make it quite a bit smaller though and the sleeves are still rather too long for me, which may look stylish on photos but it's a bit too much. :'^)

The first link also has instructions for the neckcloth and other 18th century items ✨
