[certifiedwasphater]

the blog belongs to: the gameroom collective!

[info below the cut! :3]

we have too many headmates to list, but the host is max, who goes by he/it/sir, and is a binary trans man.

some media we like are deltarune, undertale, homestuck, gravity falls, sally face, and steven universe.

feel free to message us or send asks! we may not always get to them (memory issues :p) but we're friendly!!

boundaries:

we are primarily transmasc, with two who are transneu. do not use feminine terms for us, thank you! :3

keep it appropriate- it is unlikely that someone we arent already friends with is going to message us, or even read this, but if you do, keep anything inappropriate to a minimum if we have not confirmed we're ok with it. jokes are fine, though.

ig let us know if a post we made is in bad taste? we reblog more than anything, but we do make posts on occasion, and if the frequency of how often we make our own posts changes, there is of course a chance of us posting something harmful, as there is with everyone. so dont be afraid to point it out– itd be much appreciated.

blog specific tags(we have never used any before, but we want to start, so):

#important to us!! (important)

#a sight for the eyes!! (art)

#plue... (pluey. we technically already did this without realizing now we're just making it an official tag lol)

#silly stuff!! (stuff that made us laugh)

#sweetie baaabyyy!! (cute animals)

#friendstuff!! (stuff we think our friends would like, or involving our friends)

#self post!! (nonreblogs– probably textposts)

#our creations!! (our art)

#big fan!! (fandom stuff)

#identity things!! (what it says on the tin)

+ more soon to be made

[get-more-transmasc]

Psst. Are you transmasc and a visual artist, musician, and/or author? (Or an artist of any other medium!) Reblog this post with a recent work you're proud of, or drop something in the askbox if you prefer!

I want to celebrate transmasculine art this pride month.

The only rules are A. No AI generated content (you will be blocked), and B. No explicit gore or explicit sexual content, as this blog is meant to be safe for kids. (Artistic nudity & light violence are both A-OK! Eyestrain and any potentially triggering content will be tagged!)

i drew nina and marigold from detective beebo!

it's a little messy but it was fun to draw and i think it's nice :3

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Mermay 2026

I wanted to do a few of these, but I’ve just run out of time, so if I get a chance, I’ll do some others down the line. Until then, here’s my golden boy!" More info below the break.

This was a really fun one, but I definitely spent too long on this in between other projects. It just felt good to work on something for me, when everything else is chaos at the moment.

I'm glad I went for a black model this time, as it's not a skin tone I have painted properly recently, and I wanted to practice some more, and it compliments the gold so well. I had a crisis on how to reflect the gold properly with so much metallic sheen and different bounce lights, but I had some help from the lovely Toby fox on it, and we dissected light sources, what ones could reflect where and how. Plus, I’m glad I went for the colour combos against a cooler background and chose a peaceful moment for a hunky merman at rest.

Sadly with my long covid/CFS I get kind of...fuzzy, very easily these days, I don't have much in the way of problem-solving patience, and it gets to me, so having art support always means the world ❤ I’m super keen to keep learning, but it’s at a snails pace, and it can often feel like I’ve been defeated before I even start. So, getting this guy done is a big win. Mermay is always a nice time to experiment with things in general for that 😊

The model, according to a reverse google of the image I found via Pinterest is Michael Otule! Really hope you guys like it!

you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

First date idea: I handcuff you to a pole on a rooftop while you diss my outfit

Second date idea: we get stuck in a timeloop and i watch you die infront of me and forget me everytime while I watch helplessly

Third date idea: chickens

[carnage-cathedral]

my partner said something that kinda rocked my world

[linguisticparadox]

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

[ri-writing]

Spreading the news to my followers - if you weren’t aware of this before, here’s the link to Project Gutenberg - https://www.gutenberg.org/

Project Gutenberg is a gigantic collection of books that are in the public domain.  You can read the books through the site or you can download them in various formats so you can get the format you prefer for your eReader of choice.

It is free. 

It is legal.

I was reviewing the list of the top 100 books downloaded yesterday and I saw a fair few that I had to read for college classes - so if you’re a college student and your professor assigns you to read Plato or any number of older works, check here before you buy a copy.

I reread the Anne series several years back - they were free through this.  I need to reread Pride and Prejudice at least once a year, and my e-book version is from this.  Someone recommended Jekyll and Hyde to me a few weeks back and I got a free copy from this.  When I went to Haworth on my last holiday before the plague times, I brought books by the Bronte sisters with me to read or reread that I downloaded from here.  It’s a great resource.

[linguisticparadox]

Yes yes yes! I was honestly so flabbergasted that this young person hadn't heard of the gutenberg project! It's been around for AGES, maybe longer than the kindle has? And it's such a huge project and wonderful resource! It used to be a household name (or maybe that's just my family, thanks to my dad being a cheapskate nerd [affectionate]). I was so glad to be able to share this resource and others with them though, and I wanted to make sure no one else was missing out!

If you look at the first reblog from me I also recommended a few other resources, most of which were from www.archive.org, home of the Wayback Machine! They run openlibrary.org, where you can check out ebooks of some public domain titles! They even have the Bone series by Jeff Smith!

And archive.org itself has all kinds of public domain media including music and movies! For Dracula fans, here's a radio show adaptation of the book, starring Orson Welles! And here's a 1920 movie adaptation of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring John Barrymore, the grandfather of Drew Barrymore!

I'm so excited to see people falling in love with classic media through Dracula Daily! Let's keep that fire blazing!

[wanderingchaos]

Also, if you can't handle reading things, check out libirvox.org! it's a free audio book project taking public domain works and people doing free audiobooks! there's a lot of great stuff on there, but it takes things in the public domain and makes audio books out of them!

it's a super nice project, and you can find some really nice readers there!

[athenadark]

Also don't think a book is old because it's in the public domain

lots of writers and publishers are prepared to waive future profits for entirely petty reasons

because of this the entire works of Philip K Dick [petty writer who found himself with lots of hangers on during his life] and HP Lovecraft [his publisher - who was his wife and hated him] became public domain on their death

Sherlock Holmes entered public domain this year, it's always worth checking because you can save a fortune

and the more popular the classic - the more likely someone has uploaded it

[the-haiku-bot]

Also don’t think a

book is old because it’s in

the public domain

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[elfwreck]

Want audiobooks instead?

LibriVox has free public domain audiobooks.

Public domain works in the US are:

Anything published (in the US) from 1927 or earlier (this number goes up every year for quite a while), and

Anything published between 1928 and 1963 that wasn't renewed, and

Anything published before 1989 without a proper copyright notice.

(Don't go looking for things in that third category unless you've studied a LOT about copyright law. Mostly that covers things like "weird little newsletters" and "self-published booklets" and sometimes fanzines. But most publications have a copyright notice in them.)

There's also some oddball exemptions here and there; copyright law is a tentacled mess. But those are the basic guidelines. (Except for audio. Audio has its own set of rules. It's weird.) (I mentioned tentacles, did I not? Double the amount of them you were thinking of.)

There are a lot of works from the 50s and early 60s that were not renewed, especially short stories published in magazines.

Project Gutenberg began in 1971; the first text was the US Declaration of Independence, shared through the university computer system. That was the start of "hey computers + public domain text = FREE BOOKS FOR EVERYONE."

[noswordinourlake]

Adding on that Project Gutenberg is not just Eng language texts either! I know specifically about the French texts because I did independent study French lit in high school and all my sources were Project Gutenberg acquired (Candide my beloathed) but there's many open source texts available in a number of languages.

[stevespookington]

browsing the top 100 books downloaded in the last 30 days can be really fun too, interesting to see how things change

https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/scores/top#books-last30

[rostekhorn]

Oh man, yeah, young people definitely need to learn this. I read so many public domain things when I was fresh out of college and penniless but still needed entertainment. Just going straight to Wikisource works too:

And yes, Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain. But I got bored with Sherlock Holmes after a few months, and became much more pumped when I discovered his mirror opposite, Arsene Lupin. Because when you're not only young and penniless but living through the Great Recession, what you really want to read about isn't the world's greatest detective solving crimes. It's the world's greatest thief robbing fat cats blind while pantsing the police along the way.

And you can Ctrl-F find words in electronic texts.

This is so powerful that in the old times they made a whole-ass index of every word in the Bible, called a concordance. It is now possible for every electronic book

[ragsy]

interesting how, in the realm of fiction, there are some morally reprehensible behaviors that are "acceptable" for someone's character to have, and some that wait a minute post canceled. My cat who doesn't like cuddles just settled directly into my lap for the first time in the 10 years I've known her

This is all that matters now

She did it again. Discourse is cancelled forever

Nearly 10 years ago I put together this little shitpost. For those 10 years, notes trickle in every week, more consistent than anything I’ve ever posted. And every Pride Month, it gets a major bump. I always love to see it. Let us all keep Heterophobic Shadow in our hearts and minds once again, for the 10th Pride in a row!
