I made a little challenge for myself, to learn ProCreate and just to draw more in general. I would draw one character whose name begins with that day's letter of the alfabet. Day one is A, day two is B, etc.
Masterlist
A for Reigen Arataka
B for Luo Binghe
C for Katarina Claes
E for Emily Wilde
D for Danny Phantom
F for Anya Forger
G for Gris
H for Tadano Hitohito
I for Midoriya Izuku

T for Teruhashi Kokomi
U for Uraraka Ochako
V for Valac Clara
W for Will Vandom
X for Xie Lian
Y for Li Yu
Z for Ka Zuigetsu
What are the rules?
The characters given name or surname begins with the day's letter
The drawing has to be finished and posted on that day. Sketches can be made the day before.
I have made the list beforehand, though I am allowed to switch a character.
If I make mistakes in the art I can't go back to fix them once they are posted (the post itself I can fix)
I wanted to make this masterpost so people could easily see more of the series, this is my first time doing something like this.

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.
The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”
1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.
Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.
Reasons it would be funnier for Yue Qingyuan to win the Mpreg poll to share with your non-danmei mutuals
1) Yue Qingyuan is a side character from the author’s least popular novel
2) Yue Qingyuan is frequently headcannoned as a big, giant, bear, and is canonically an older brother figure/sect leader/strongest sword wizard of several generations— WHILE AT THE SAME TIME being a pathetic pushover that misses his wife so bad
3) Yue Qingyuan has a soul eating sword that wants to kill him, and I have no idea how it would react to a pregnancy
4) As many have claimed before, the longer he is pregnant, the longer I cannot harvest the fetus for my abortion shrine (don’t ask)
5) After everything he has gone through, I’m not convinced Yue Qingyuan would make any noise giving birth. Completely silent operating room until the baby starts crying
6) His big fat milky tits will get even bigger and rounder. Don’t you want that? Don’t you want big round hairy tits full of milk? Please, do it for me at least?
Please vote for him. I beg you. I will shrivel up and die without his breast milk to sustain me

Free realestate fic idea for those who’ve been following the Mpreg poll recently,
A trope in Xianxia settings sometimes objects and artefacts of specific spiritual degree are able to cultivate human bodies with enough qi over a long enough period of time. So I posit Yue Qingyuan’s sword Xuan Su is an old and powerful sword to which has an unfortunate parasitic bond to his soul, such an old sword could theoretically cultivate a body
so perhaps mqf in searching for a way to sever that parasitic bond comes up with a new experimental (and highly unethical) treatment, to try and get Xuan Su to cultivate a body for itself, although at this stage it is as if yqy himself is Xuan Su’s body the way the meridians and spiritual energy is all mixed up, to get around this with the help of (insert Mpreg mcguffin, sex plant, spiritual tool, etc here) mqf gets yqy to go through pregnancy to host and speed up cultivation of a new body for Xuan Su. The theory being that the baby being made from yqy is but an extension of himself, his body, his blood and spirit. That a parents child in spirit should be but an extension of the parents lifeblood and legacy. so a fulfilment of this process should in part disentangle yqy from Xuan Su on an almost ritualistic level but also a physical level.
Some additional things that could make the whole ordeal more fucked up/funny if you wanted
-some kind of health complication because who said literally hosing the manifestation of your own sword in your body would be easy
-mqf fully expects yqy not want to keep the end results and is either so clinically detached about the whole thing, strangely fascinated in an almost flippant manner that he gets to do this new medical procedure, or just in a constant manic state of alarm for his shiddi’s health for all the shit that could go wrong and yqy is just happy to be preggers
-Yqy does in fact want to keep it to an almost strangely reverent degree regardless of possible complications his this is his very own blood and flesh to care for, to nurture and grow (especially if the method of conception involved sj somehow)
-wqw is involved somehow because he knows swords
-sj is seething and trying to figure out who got qi ge pregnant (even better if the answers a spiritual tool and he’s mad/jealous of no one)
-it’s only after the whole pregnancy thing happens that sj finds out about the parasitic bond and that makes their whole thing worse because what do you mean the way he had to find out was by yqy giving birth to a human sword and not just telling him for heaven’s sakes
On that note if you haven’t already go vote for our dear sect leader! We are currently tying with Gomez Adam’s with only two days left so every vote counts

say what you like about him but i have a lot of respect for luo binghe’s courtship methods. like he tried the “look what you’re missing out on” approach okay, he gave it a fair go. “look how cool and hot and powerful i am” is a straight up classic and he had it nailed down, he had his evil sword and dramatic poses to strike, he was locked tf in. but then when that failed to work he pivoted like a champion, going from his sexy badass persona to full-on sad kitten out in the rain, and i don’t think he gets enough credit for that. he is a grownass demonic emperor with subjects and presumably a lot of enemies looking for weakness, and yet he has fully committed to the untried and extremely specific “warbling baby bird” approach to wooing shen qingqiu. he is wailing and clinging to the best of his exceptional ability, all dignity abandoned, to get his man. that’s dedication.
Three days left and YQY has retaken the lead against the formidable Gomez, but it is still very very close. Please help our dear sect leader keep his triplets! (Yes, one baby for each win.)
As propaganda for Yue Qingyuan's pregnancy polls @need-him-pregnant-poll (PLEASE VOTE), here are some fics of people attempting to impregnate Yue Qingyuan, him wishing they would, general breeding kink, or him acquiring a child. Mind the tags, neither safe nor sane fics ahead.

I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby
English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking shit about the neighbor's son
I explained the “x before gta6” meme to my immigrant father and he, in turn, explained to me how back in his day in Romania, they had the same type of joke, except instead of it being gta6, it was about the imminent death of a singer named Gică Petrescu, who everyone was continuously shocked by because he refused to die. Every time a momentous event happened people would say, in essence: “This happened and Gică Petrescu hasn’t even died yet?!?”
So. He understood the gta6 meme immediately because they apparently had the same thing in Romania when he was young, except way, way more morbid
He thinks that the world revolves around him, but not in a positive way, he's filled with paranoia about how much others despise him and shit talk him, which they do, but not for the reasons he thinks. I think it's even worse when you remember that his biggest talent is acting, he used his cute looks as a child to cry and beg for money even though a young child shouldn't have that type of manipulation skill, he used his copying abilities to learn how to write "7" and "9" with passable calligraphy despite being illiterate, he postured the FUCK out of his time in Qing Jing and that made him head disciple, eventually Peak Lord.

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.
Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didn’t know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said “Oh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.”
She stared at him for a long time and then said “How do you know I’m from Brooklyn?”
And he said “You have a Brooklyn accent.”
She said “I do?” and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said “I had no idea! The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn. I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did. So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.”
My moms a sign language interpreter, and she’s signed with people from all over the US. According to her, when she signs with people from the south they sign with a “drawl.” They have slower hand movements and exaggerate certain parts of the sign. People from the Midwest sign very fast and people from the south sign very slow.
So we were at a restaurant once and my mom started interpreting for someone who was trying to order and she was like “oh you’re from the south!”
And they were like “how did you know that?”
And she said “you sign with a drawl.” And they were really surprised that it came through that much.
It’s really interesting that even when not speaking verbally accents and heritage come through.
I love linguistic stuff and saw this post screenshotted AGES ago and have been halfheartedly searching for it again because no one believes me when i say sign language has accents AND I FOUND IT
