One last art piece for spooky season. AU of sorts. Vampire Queen Tessara. Having been sealed away at the hands of humans, she wakes up in modern times and now has to cope and manage the world around her. She's not alone in it as a certain man of her fancy helps her along the way.

Halloween around the corner, figured I would do one more picture. Anya throws a big Halloween party on Devil's Night, cause well, she is Hell's ruler. Usually her and Tessara do costume themes. Tessara as Holly Would and Anya as Jessica Rabbit was an idea I had in my head for a while. I do love Who Framed Roger Rabbit but Holly Would is my fave of the girls.

[duckiefishpond]

I forgot to post it here. This year's Halloween pic. Poor Collin. Even in dreams, his wife can't get a break from the very shadows that follow and serve her. Their presence alone, influences the shadowy part of her soul as the darkness bleeds in. He knows once morning comes, his wife will be grumpy and tired.

[duckiefishpond]

Umm, hi. Is your snake friendly…? Can I pet him?

Tessara: Sonji? Yeah, he's really really friendly. He loves pets.

Perking his head up, Sonji sticks his tongue out.

Sonji: Please, pet me. I like being spoiled.

Tessara just shakes her head with a chuckle.

[duckiefishpond]

As all-powerful beings, what kind of things do you have on your pizza?

Tessara: "Blinks" As long as it's not fish, I'll try anything once but I usually like cheese, meats, veggies, and pineapple once in a while. My sister just eats anything while my dad eats only meats on his. My best bro is the only one that likes fish on his and Justin doesn't like pizza at all.

[duckiefishpond]

Guess I'll do a quick advertise. Three new chapters have been posted for Cashiers and Zoras for anybody who would would like to read. Again, it's a Sidon/reader fic.

Meet the Writer Tag

I was tagged by my friend Custard.

Rules: Use this picrew to make yourself and answer the questions!

Three fun facts about me:

It’s rare for me to ever do actual art of myself. Usually its some form of my persona. Lot of self issues that cause the lack of actual me art.

College graduate but got sick and had to recover so never got to use that degree.

I feel like I’m standoffish at times only because I’m not use to talking with people. I warm up easy though with have common interest. 

Favorite season: I am a fall baby. Halloween ftw! I just love fall colors and fall aesthetic in general.

Continent where I live: United States

How I spend my time: Work, gaming, writing fanfics or oc stuff, drawing, listening to music.

Are you published?: Haha, no. I’m more a fanfic writer. Since Custard is calling me out, yeah, I write a Prince Sidon/reader fic here. I’m pretty lazy about my oc stuff so in most cases, friends are the only ones who sees that stuff.

Introvert or Extrovert: Introvert! Always!

Favourite Meal: BBQ ribs, corn, and hand made mash potatoes!! The goods!!!

Tagging: If anybody wants to do it by all means! I’m not usually one to tag people.

Tumblr is settling with NYC’s human rights agency over alleged porn ban bias

The ban allegedly affected LGBTQ users disproportionately.

[bitter69uk]

Gee, Tumblr would probably really hate it if you shared and spread this damning article … To the surprise of absolutely none of Tumblr’s LGBTQ users, it turns out the independent NYC human rights agency Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) found that Tumblr’s ham-fisted adult content ban in December 2018 disproportionately targeted LGBTQ users. The CCHR’s investigation revealed Tumbler’s moderation algorithms is demonstrably biased against queer content. As part of the settlement, Tumblr was obligated to review their prejudicial anti-gay moderation policies. Even more mortifyingly, they’ve also had to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide unconscious bias training to their moderators. I frankly doubt Tumblr has learned a thing from this humbling experience. Just recently the Tumblr algorithm flagged three ancient posts of mine as violating their terms. All three “offenders” were vintage homoerotic beefcake images (softcore by modern standards) roughly 50 – 65-years-old by Bruce of Los Angeles, Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland. (These are of course pioneering queer artists who routinely faced censorship and imprisonment in the fifties and sixties. Plus ca change!). They've been visible on my page - corrupting viewers -  for years at this point. I appealed all three immediately. Only the Tom of Finland one was approved. The other two are now hidden. So, they haven't learned much. Apparently, Tumblr – who loves to declare how hip, youthful, inclusive and progressive their values are - wants to restore trust with their queer users. I’d recommend we remember their hypocrisy when Pride rolls around and Tumblr splashes rainbow flags everywhere and attempts to pink wash their image.

[bitter69uk]

In honour of Pride Month, this is worth a reblog! Don’t buy into Tumblr’s hypocritical “pink washing.” 

[duckiefishpond]

I usually don’t advertise but given how the fandom has been with Yona’s addition, I guess I’ll give it a shot if it will help some calm down.

If your a reader/Sidon type person, or like anything with a sense of self insert with Sidon, I’m writing a modern AU fic of botw/totk with reader/Sidon as the main couple.

@duckiefishpond moved so as not to clutter your art post!

Eyes sparkling at the ring, Sephia smiles.

“OH CONGRADULATIONS!! March is a lovely time of year to get married,” Sephia hums.

“Nice mild weather. Flowers blooming. It makes for a nice background for photos and ceremonies. May you have a wonderful wedding,” Cole chimed in.

At the notion of the others with them, Sephia chuckled.

“Oh these little ones? Children flock to me all the time.   They just want to see the festivities.  My parents actually have my little one tonight. They insisted on taking her out so it gave us time to travel.  Halloween is a fun time for all. Mostly for children, but we adults can have fun too,” Sephia remarked.

“Thank you,” Queenie hums happily. “It is, isn’t it? Yes, thank you both. I wanted to have it in the springtime, but I want us to be married before my darling’s next birthday, so March-to-April is best.” 

She tilts her head as Sephia explains her ‘children’. “I see . . . well, they’re quite welcome here. You have a child of your own?” Queenie raises her eyebrows. “Quite right. This is one of my favourite holidays, I don’t see why I should deny myself a celebration just because I’m older. If I must have a social event each year, I want it to be this one.”

[duckiefishpond]

“That’s true. I probably don’t given how my father was,” Cole joked.

“Speaking to dead is easy when you are skilled in magic,” Cole chuckled, “Dealing with the dead is Sephia’s father’s profession.”

“One more than,” Cole bowed before taking Julia’s hands again.

From a distance, Sephia was chuckling away; obviously enjoying the sight. Seemed she seemed happy Julia was having a good time.

“I suppose that is true. The happiest I’ve ever been is with my wife and my daughter. Her friends and family have welcomed me with open arms. But sometimes I still wonder; who they were and if they ever knew I existed. Even after all this time, I still don’t feel comfortable going back to my place of birth,” Cole remarked.

Noticing Queen as they danced by, Cole gave a lift of his cap as a hello before returning to dancing.

“Not at all Miss Julia. I have come to find the ones considered the craziest, usually have some of the wisest stories to tell. If it wasn’t Halloween, I would suggest a chat with James, my wife’s father. I think you would find a hoot out of him,” Cole laughed.

Continuing to dance, Cole threw Julia into a dip as the music came to a close.

“That was fun my dear. Care for another?” Cole asked.

“Don’t step on her toes now,” Sephia chuckled as she waved them off.

Cole just gave a grunt.

Leading Julia to the floor, Cole takes her hand and leads her into a slow dance.

“I admit, I might be a little jealous of Queenie; and perhaps my wife. I never grew up knowing extended family. Even if ideals are different, I would think she could appreciate what she has. You seem like a woman with a lot of life experience. Shame it seems it’s taken for not,” Cole comments.

Taking Julia into a slow spin, you could hear Sephia clapping in the back. Seems Cole might not have been that great of a dancer when he met Sephia. Though he seems to be holding it well at the moment.
