THE LIST OF THINGS NINTENDO PREDATES INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

THE SHERLOCK HOLMES FRANCHISE

UNITED STATES PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISHENHOWER’S BIRTH

THE NOVEL “DRACULA”

THE NOVELS “THE TIME MACHINE” AND “WAR OF THE WORLDS” BY H.G. WELLS

THE FIRST MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES

THE DISCOVERY OF HELIUM ON EARTH

[sightless-raiton]

… Okay. I believe you. But like… how?

[factsinallcaps]

NINTENDO WAS FOUNDED IN 1889 AS A CARD GAME MANUFACTURER AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS HAPPENED IN 1890 OR LATER

[captainlordauditor]

WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT DRACULA WAS EARLIER WHAT THE FUCK

[factsinallcaps]

YOU COULD WRITE A DRACULA FANFIC WHERE DRACULA TRAVELS TO JAPAN AND BUYS A PACK OF NINTENDO BRAND PLAYING CARDS AND IT WOULD BE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. SAME DEAL FOR SHERLOCK HOLMES.

[marauders4evr]

No no no no no!

Don’t write fanfic!

Those things are in the public domain!

You can legally write, publish, and sell a Dracula book where Dracula travels to Japan and buys a pack of Nintendo brand playing cards!

Same deal for Sherlock Holmes!

[pinejaysong]

what if you write a book where dracula and sherlock holmes travel to japan at the same time and reach for the last pack of nintendo brand playing cards that they both wanted

[dogglefoxkvk]

Here’s where the romance happens

[a-trans-comic-by-me]

[smokeytoastyghosty]

Me: yep

Me: sees trans man not binding and one in a dress

Me : nope!

You didn’t have to draw a trans man with boobs sis, thanks for the dysphoria babeey

[trainwreckbisexual]

if u get dysphoric when u see a boob that’s understandable but its also your problem to deal with n u don’t get to shame other trans dudes for drawing people like them with visible breasts. as much as it sucks, most trans men do have non flat chests and it’s not a bad thing to draw trans men with breasts (unless ur sexualising them, or ur drawing a real life trans man who’s dysphoric about his chest).

also u can’t have a go at op for drawing a trans man without a binder bc it makes u dysphoric n then call him sis. dont be a fuckin hypocrite dude.

anyways good post op

[maraeffect]

some trans men can’t bind for medical reasons. some don’t prefer to bind bc it’s uncomfortable, and hot, and sweaty!!! some trans men arent that bothered by chest dysphoria!

trans people are not required to attempt conformity to be valid in their identity. no one is required to try and “look cis”. that’s your own shit to deal with.

[eroticcannibal]

Thank you for drawing trans men who aren’t binding and who wear feminine clothes, OP, seeing trans people like myself really helps with my dysphoria

[transmxnfenris]

I can’t bind because of my severe asthma and pain in my ribs from fibromyalgia. So seeing trans men who aren’t binding really helps my crippling dysphoria. Thanks op (also disabled trans men aaaaaah! 💖)

[bleepblopbugs]

Also some trans men cant afford a binder, or are closeted, or itt isnt safe where they live to bind, binding isnt a necessity v

[xaira-gabvi]

Also trans men, just like cis men, are allowed to wear dresses.

[cockroachqu33r]

and if you have big boobs binding gives you small boobs not a flat chest

[nonbino-chaos-fox]

also thank you for drawing plus-sized & disabled trans men <3

[jess-the-vampire]

He’s 16 he shouldn’t have to be dealing with any of this

[kitsnicket]

Shakespeare wishes he had what spy kids has

[nataliawoods]

this is bullshit

[itsaaudraw]

do not mess with pamela voorhees or her baby boy (especially not her baby boy)

[bigbootybuffet]

[spacesheeeeeep]

Nell and theo have like 50 different dynamics in the book and all of them are gay as hell-

[bcnnibeau-deactivated20200330]

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead 

[bcnnibeau-deactivated20200330]

case in point

this is a Hell of a downgrade 

[garbage-empress]

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

[higglety]

I went down a rabbit hole this summer researching romance novel covers and painting fanart in this style and

this is an EXTREMELY fun style to work in, and also

many of the most iconic romance novel covers you’re probably picturing when you think “classic painted romance novel cover” were produced by one prolific, masterful artist

Her name was Elaine Duillo, and she had a long and extremely productive career spanning from the mid 60’s to her retirement in 2003. She worked mainly in acrylics.

She did illustration work in other genres as well, but she really found her niche in romance novels. She pretty much redefined the aesthetic conventions of the genre, popularizing male models and male nudity and sexualizing men to cater to the female gaze in a way that simply wasn’t the norm before her work. You know Fabio? she’s the one who started using him as a model, and essentially launched his career. And honestly, just look at her work:

magnificent

[sindri42]

Wait shit, she retired in 2003? I think that’s exactly when I started seeing shitty photoshops on all the new romance novel covers.

She was literally carrying the entire industry single-handed and then they just did not replace her.

[horrible-device]

Fem!Ryder. The female is more deadly than the male, they say. Much thanks to @mad-nipple for providing me with such a lovely reference.

The cabinet of Dr Caligari but homosexual

[fuckyeahtxtposts]

person: ok

me: no you dont understand

[severalowls]

Cesare the Somnambulist is a relatable character because like who hasn't been tired and goth and walked around a bit really

[ihateornithologists]

Cesare and Jane as Death and Elisabeth or something.. I just wanted to draw this because Dagover played Elisabeth in 1931 film and Veidt played Death in Unheimliche Geschichten.. It does make at least some sense am I right.
