[duke-daemon]

uhh new pinned post or something

hi, im duke. im a transmasc gay artist who focuses mainly on oc content. i am an adult so there may occasionally be adult jokes on this blog. i also really like gore so expect some of that

tag guide:

#i eat bees - general art tag

#meet the guys - introductions for my ocs :)

#apollyon beloved - my main guy, my sweet cheese, my good time boy

#apolloverse - subset of #apollyon beloved. will be used to indicate apollos in the triangle agency multiverse see this post for explanation

#kaolinx - my primary oc universe, modern fantasy

don't really have much of a dni, just be a decent person and we should get along fine

my art is NEVER to be used for NFTs, AI art, and/or posted on blockchains of any kind. if you see my art being used as such, please let me know ASAP so i can take action and get the stolen art removed. on top of that, NEVER put my ocs into character ai or similar ai chatbots. i dont think i need to explain why that would upset me.

however, you are welcome to take inspiration from my worldbuilding related art :)

want more of whatever it is i do here? you can also find me on toyhouse, bluesky, and artfight (when its that season)

I'm probably nonbinary, but I don't get treated like a woman by most people that aren't also trans so idrc about that rn.

[sharkgirldick]

I genuinely doubt I'm ever going to bother exploring being anything else because being a woman isn't something I just get to be. I get called sir almost every day of my life and I don't even get to pretend to myself that it's because I'm butch. I've had friends accidentally misgender me.

I've already lived as a man and it wasn't for me. Maybe, just maybe, I might feel a similar way about being a woman and decided to be something in between or outside. In anothe life, perhaps.

I do love being a woman. The few people who love and respect the person I am make me feel seen as a woman. Then I walk out my front door.

Not sure got to feel when the hobby book says this should only take an hour but it took me 5 hours.

[gallusrostromegalus]

1. Hobby books are often written by the same people who think you can caramelize onions in 5 minutes

2. Hobby books are even more often written by people who don't have or are actively neglecting their partners/full-time jobs/pets/children/household maintenance.

3. Hobby books are often written by people with ADHD, and an hour in ADHD hyperspace is like 2-7 hours for everyone else, including other ADHD people who are not currently in the zone.

4. Hobby books are written by people who, when told by an editor to add in how long it will take, just make shit up

5. If you're doing something for the first time, you're going to take way, way longer to do it than someone who's had years of practice. Maybe it does only take an hour IF YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR TEN YEARS. Think about how long it took you to make idk your first excel spreadsheet vs how long it takes now

To actually answer your question: proud. You should feel proud, because you made something, AND you did so while learning a brand-new skill! Go you!!

May I ask what the Allegedly-One-Hour project was? Both because I like hearing about what my friends are doing and I want to see how wildly inaccurate the listed time scope is.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Kurt Cobain was trans, therefore courtney love is a lesbian therefore Trent reznor is a trans lesbian, if my RPF math is correct of course

[zephyrzeitgeist]

Is this one of those things where having context wouldn't help?

[queer-as-city-folk]

There is no context, I just had a thought and hit post

I mean yes, but we don't care about her

He's married, why's he looking at me like that.

the thing about growing up with siblings in an abusive household is that ultimately you're each other's jail wardens and whipping boys and that does things to you no matter how much you sincerely love each other and understand why it happened the way it did and wish you could have been big and strong enough to save both of you

[valtsv]

it's just inevitably going to be difficult to reconcile the love you feel for the other half of a bear trap clamped around both your legs. is the thing.

vet tech: so when was she bred?

us: WE DON'T KNOW. SHE SHOWED UP AT OUR HOUSE TWO DAYS AGO

vet tech: oh. Ohhhhhh

[creekfiend]

!!! the skeletons aren't fully mineralized yet !!!! 🎉 vet thinks we can keep her spay appointment next week! getting supplies just in CASE she goes before then to be prepared, but glad to be wrong about how close she was to whelping, lol. yaaay. the vet DID say she can see six or seven on xray So Far 😱 but we think we can safely spay next week.

the vet and techs were all really shocked by how sweet and stable she is and one was even like "she kind of acts like a service dog?" which I took to mean she was observing the same stuff that I was when I was thinking yesterday that she seems like she has received some positive reinforcement training. she's a very mysterious dog. she needed to take her Emotional Support Cow Ear with her to the x-ray, but she wasn't guard-y about it at all when the techs picked it up to give back to her if she dropped it etc.

so ummm... who wants the world's Sweetest Baby Pitbull? 😂 she should be ready for a new home once healed from her spay, if no one claims her. I'd keep her if it was at all practical, she's the world's sweetest lovingest doggie.

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[valtsv]

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

i love whenever theres a discourse around what kind of sex it is moral for heterosexual women to have (where the morality of the sex acts obviously fall onto the woman) not because it’s enjoyable, interesting, fresh, or remotely good for women or the feminist movement, but because you do get some immortal lines every time. from the recent twitter discourse, “enjoy the blowjob, but REFLECT on it” could be my tagline
