REMEMBERING IN A NIGHTMARE THE TIME YOU MURDERED ALL YOUR FRIENDS

now in an easier to see format than in one giant fucking huge picture

[thefederalistfreestyle]

I went home and Googled the statue to see what the internet had to say about this mysterious black man, and I found that the New York City Parks Department website did not mention the presence of a second human being in the monument at all. Instead, it read: “The work, set in a picturesque pink granite steele designed by architect Henry Bacon, features a heroic-sized Lafayette standing next to his horse.” Lafayette and his horse. His horse. Nary a mention of the grown man standing there, blanket over his shoulder and a look on his face like he’d rather be someplace else. I was perplexed, and then angry, and then curious. I went to the library. The statue, by Daniel Chester French, had been commissioned when a Frenchman turned Brooklynite named Henry Harteau died and left the city $35,000 to cast a monument to his celebrated countryman. (Lafayette and Harteau are identified on the statue’s base, and it was dedicated in 1917.) He asked that the statue be based on a painting called Lafayette at Yorktown by Jean-Baptiste Le Paon. The painting was actually of two men named Lafayette; one was the familiar marquis, and the other was named James Armistead Lafayette. The marquis was white and James was black. Still, I wondered: Were they brothers? Why did they share a last name? It turns out that James Armistead was an enslaved man from Virginia who enlisted to fight against the British and ended up working as a double agent. The information he acquired helped to win the battle of Yorktown; hence, the heroic painting. He served under Lafayette, and the two men became such close friends that the marquis successfully petitioned to have James made a free man, after James’s own request for manumission was denied. (Apparently, they were only freeing “slave-soldiers” who fought in the war; being a “slave-spy” didn’t qualify.) James Armistead then took the name of his friend out of affection and gratitude. He lived a long life and become a farmer and a family man.

Changing Policy on Fan Merch

There were a few reasons I instated this policy. However, after talking to a lawyer, it seems like allowing certain things won’t really hurt Temmie or Fangamer (my friends). So things will become more lenient.

Now, I won’t stop individual fans from selling the following items at cons:

- Prints, charms, buttons, keychains, stickers, etc. - Most handmade items - Undertale zines/fanbooks/doujinshi - Musical albums/CDs that contain UNDERTALE remixes as <=30% of tracks. (Still figuring out full albums…)

However, restrictions exist:

- You cannot use the UNDERTALE logo or put the name UNDERTALE on it, as it is trademarked. (Weird, right!?) - No t-shirts, apparel/clothing,* or machine-made figures or machine-made plushes. - Do not sell merch via Redbubble, zazzle, or other large online store. - No, you still can’t do Kickstarters or crowdfunding campaigns for UT-related things. - If you’re a company (like Sharkrobot or Hot Topic or something) you cannot sell UNDERTALE merch of ANY kind. - Do not compete with official merch & acknowledge my copyright. If necessary, I can halt any unofficial item’s sale. (Really don’t want to ^^;;) - If this change turns out to be actually bad, I can reverse the decision. - If you sell, please have played the game.

* Exception: if someone hand-made a few scarves, hats, cosplay, or accessories, it’d probably be OK. But if mass-produced, it could become a problem.

When in doubt, if hand-made and few, it’s OK. If mass-produced and machine/factory made, it’s not OK.

PS - One-off art commissions of UT characters are still OK, online or offline.

PPS - If engaging in UNDERTALE activities at a con (selling, cosplaying, etc.), try to be respectful and give a good impression. Overall, UNDERTALE’s had a positive effect on people who have played it. It’d be nice if it could have a positive effect on the rest of the world, too.

“Rebel” Acrylic and gouache on Rives BFK mounted on wood panel 9″ x 12″ Here’s my piece inspired by Princess Leia for Gallery 1988’s Star Wars: Art Awakens gallery show and charity auction, a collaboration between Gallery 1988, Disney, LucasFilm, and Bad Robot. Pieces in the show will be auctioned off for charity on eBay on Friday, November 13th. If you’re in Los Angeles, you can see the artwork in person on Saturday and Sunday (November 14th and 15th) from 11am–10pm at Gallery 1988 (West). Find out more info here and support a good cause!

Almost everything in this piece is a reference from the original Star Wars trilogy: the symbols of the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, band patches for Max Rebo Band and the Mos Eisley Cantina band, “Rebel scum,” tattoos of Alderaan and Leia’s blaster, modified X-wing pilot gloves, the vest Leia wore on Hoth, her pants from Endor, the chain she used to strangle Jabba, and of course her hair from A New Hope. If you couldn’t tell, I had a lot of fun with this!

I can’t stress this enough, I don’t care if you think you’re a “gender critical radical feminist” or not, I don’t care if you think you support trans women

If you subscribe to the notions that

Trans women can somehow be lumped into a coclass with men in any way shape or form or are part of the class of men in any way shape or form (this includes referring to trans women as male)

That trans women are somehow not affected by misogyny

That transmisogyny somehow does not exist

That trans women somehow oppress cis women of similar other vulnerabilities through misogyny

That trans women don’t belong in women only spaces (including bathrooms, shelters, rape counseling, safe spaces, wlw spaces and lesbian spaces)

or that trans women are somehow a source of “Man/Male Violence”

Then you’re fucking garbage and I don’t want you interacting with my work, with my posts, with me or anywhere on my dash. I certainly don’t want you following me.

I don’t give a fuck what other things you think we agree on or if you like my funny posts and jokes. I want you fucking gone.

If Jesus was born from a virgin birth, doesn’t that mean he has only an X chromosome. Wouldn’t that make him female?

TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS

[vrxskasxrkxt]

I have taken 3 years of Theology, 1 of Apologetics, and 1 of Anatomy and Physiology and I’m honesty stumped by this one

[fsthhdwefg-deactivated20180515]

Those species which are parthenogenic (i.e. self-fertilising, certain lizards, snakes, frogs and fish) the offspring is always genetically/physically female-typical. So yeah, if we were to take the nativity as a scientific story, a parthenogenic human pregnancy (still a scientific impossibility) would result in an AFAB child, and since that child has always been referred to as “he”, voila, trans jesus.

Force Awakens spoilers

I’m laughing so hard that people are shipping Kylo Ren and Rey and are already hoping that they don’t turn out to be related. I’m hoping that with the next two movies they branch out, because it feels like they’ve done a lot of the important sidewinks and nudges to the audience already.

Goodbye, 'Anomaly' — TSA's New Word for Trans Bodies is 'Alarm' | Advocate.com

Three months after a transgender traveler's horrifying experience being screened at an airport, the agency reveals the change it promised in October.

TSA screening goes from calling trans bodies “anomalies” to an “alarm.”

I cannot see how this is in any way shape or form an improvement, but I see that I am still justified in my anxiety about airports and traveling. (which isn’t a great measure to be honest because I have anxiety about everything)

Fuck TSA and I don’t even know what’s wrong with those who approved this.

In the alpine region, many traditions that predate Christianity are still alive and revered by the local folks. One of them is the “Klausentreiben” during the night of the sixth of December. Young males dress up like animalistic spirits, like the bear, the deer and the wolf, and roam the streets while making loud noise. That was supposed to banish the evil spirits from the underworld that were believed to gain strength during the long winternights, threatening the well-being of the village folks and their livestock.
