That first image is an edit of HUGZzz by Irene Strychalski. Sheās improved tremendously in the past nine years, and you can see her current work on her tumblr, reniedraws! She has done backgrounds for Archer and Unsupervised, backgrounds and character designs for Chozen, andĀ pencils and inks for issue #1 of Deadpool Family. Sheās currently making a webcomic called Shaman Child. Hereās some of her current art:

As for the anime girl in the plaid skirt, I braved the hellscape that is earlyĀ ā00s anime websites, exploring endless gif-covered Gaia pages and vampire-filled roleplay forums, traveling across seas of unsourced DeviantArt edits and low-res hentai, to discover that she is an original character by Hiro Suzuhira. She has done work for Shuffle!, Ef: A Tale of Melodies, Akikan!, Phantom Breaker, and We Without Wings, among many others, and she is also a prolific freelance illustrator. Here are some examples of her art:
You motherfuckers yes I hate Kamala too but when she is announced to be the Democratic candidate we are all going to shoot fireworks and go to the goddamn polls
GRIPPING EVERYBODYāS SHOULDERS SO TIGHTLY RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL VOTE FOR HARRIS. YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS NO MORAL WAY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE US AND YOU WILL STILL VOTE TO STRATEGICALLY PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
to be honest it would make me a lot more comfortable if you guys would show a little concern about trump running for president again. Do not inbox me and say you donāt like joe biden omg i already know. but can we show a little concern. about donald trump. being the republican candidate for president. for the third election in a row.
The guy has got all the signs of someone in major mental decline ā and it seems to be accelerating. He was half-cracked while he was in office and it's only gotten worse. Likeā¦ don't just take my word for it obviously, but if you have bothered to pay attention the signs are there.
Plus, even if you think he's of completely sound mind? He's currently fucking BEGGING for cash because of the half-billion he owes in court penalties. The dude ALREADY practically slobs on the knob of every major international warlord and strongman purely because he has a weird power fetish. The security risk to have a broke-as-fuck, corrupt, cheating dickbucket desperate for cash with access to all of the U.S.A's secrets is UNFATHOMABLE (frankly, I'm convinced he's ALREADY sold shit from those bathroom boxes to half the fucking rich dictators on the planet - look at the state of things!)
in conclusionā¦ I can't even believe I have to argue this with anyone. jesus.
People against piracy fail to realize that no, I canāt just ābuy it.ā They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. Theyāre barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. Itās scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: itās exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ācopiesā of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we arenāt allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I canāt pay to own it, I wonāt pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
Amtrak launches a new fare model that gives customers the ability to book cheaper flexible tickets.

there are Shut It Down For Palestine actions planned for Friday, look for one in your area if you can. they're not all registered on the Shut It Down website, so check social media as well as their list.
Iām a cis man sure but i also wanna opt out of the gender binary. None of that shit is my fault or my responsibility and i donāt want any part of it
Yeaheyah you get it. Not trans but i believe in their beliefs. Sometimes i remember people form gender complexes around what alcoholic beverages or colors they like and i just wonder how theyāre not fucking exhausted from keeping up this stupid fucking horseshit. Just do whatever you want forever

Very important, but Palestinian groups recommend NOT protesting at this event unless you're white or jewish! It seems to be a trap to take photos of protestors of color to accuse them of antisemetism. Jewish Voice for Peace and other orgs WILL be holding a protest, so if you're jewish, you are highly encouraged to protest! Please stay safe! Wear a mask!
Please don't ask me for relationship advice unless you are prepared to receive some truly upsetting information because some people are ready for the "He's exhibiting the literal textbook signs of a psychological abuser and you need to get away from him before he successfully cuts you off from your support network" talk and some people aren't
There is never any justification for someone putting their hands on you in any way without your consent short of immediate risk of harm or death.
If someone tells you that "the way I'm acting is your fault because you know that doing X thing would make me do it and you chose to do it anyway" is just fancy bullshit talk for, "I know my behaviour is wrong, but I don't want to be held responsible for it so I'm pushing it on you"
Nothing good ever, ever comes from someone who tells you, "I don't want you talking about our relationship with anyone". This person cannot handle accepting responsibility and processing criticism so they need you to never, ever question them. That's easier if they control the narrative and your friends aren't there to cut in.
Nothing constructive comes from screaming.
"It's not like that all the time" is optimistic and sweet, but the truth is, it shouldn't be like that at all. Sweet words and gifts and gestures don't erase being frightened for yourself or for your loved ones. That is not normal. Don't minimize it.
It is not healthy or normal to be genuinely afraid of saying "no" to someone, for any reason at all. Violence, outbursts, retaliation, anything. You should not have to be afraid of someone's reaction to your boundaries.
You are not responsible for saving anyone. Even if you love them. Even if they have nobody else. At the end of the day, if they want to hurt themselves in any way, they will, and you can't stop them forever. People need to want to improve before they can actually improve, and if they're threatening to harm themselves to keep you around, they're using your love to hold themselves hostage. You do not decide their choices for them, and they don't get to shunt that off on you.
There will always be other people who can love you better. You will not be alone forever. This will not be the last time you care for someone like this and it will not be the last time someone cares for you
I'll update it with new designs occasionally, but most preorder items will only be available this month (I'll be sending the off in December before I go on vacation) so get what you can soon!
