It also deeply bothers me how many people pull the "okay now ask the average African American how they feel about gay and trans people" as a gotcha, to try to act as though Black people specifically hate and are oppressing queer and trans people (and as if we just, AREN'T those things too).

Buddy ask the average White American how they feel about gay and trans people, since we're taking the census and the piss. Hell, look at the people in charge currently pushing anti trans and anti queer legislation and tell me how they identify. Look at the racial demographics of our last election and tell me who you think is out here going rah rah for the gays and theys.

The audacity to suggest that my entire community is homophobic (I.e., you spend zero time around Black queer and trans folk) but somehow yours is worthy of a closer, more nuanced look... Really some OG white supremacy, actually! "Those savages, they don't understand things like gender and sexuality, they're just angry uncultured brutes!" -mentality shared between 1700s race scientists and 2026 You, apparently.

Some folks was really out here lying with those #BLM pins 😭

my contribution to @creatingblackcharacters Melanin Beam Challenge is Queen from Deltarune!! I don't have as detailed thoughts on the choice to make her Black as I did with Susie last year, because for Queen it's basically that I think she's a really fun, silly, confident character who knows her worth and is pretty much universally loved and I think that would be a really nice character for Black women & girls to be able to see themselves in. It was really fun to do this challenge, I haven't had time to draw in months and having a goal was really exciting :)

One of my favorite retro pixel art tropes, the neon wireframe or schematic look, comes straight from the Tektronix 4010, a 1970s CAD computer whose vector display could draw permanently to the screen without using memory, enabling extremely high resolution line graphics.

in my little pony universe youd go to a job interview and theyd be like so how does your cutiemark reflect your dedication to this position. And every time youd have to spew some bullshit about how your cutiemark of two tennis rackets actually means youre a team player and good at multitasking and view the market like a playing field. or whatever. and you wouldnt even get the job

Thanks to Equestria v Sugar Sprinkle, cutie mark interview questions are considered hiring discrimination, so if anypony asks you any cutiemark related questions or even alludes to any questions about your cutiemark such as "In your own words, describe your life purpose" you can and should refuse to answer. Know your rights, ponies.

The best writing advice I ever got was that you should write dialogue without tags or any interruptions first, and add that in later. because you can see the scene in your head and writing just the dialogue first helps you envision what the characters would actually say without worrying about all the extra stuff, and it helps your dialogue end up sounding more natural and consistent.

Doing this benefits these species tremendously. They can become so rare over such a vast area as people destroy the only plants they can eat, every single one that survives makes a positive difference!

Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."

This is what Roerich's paintings look like:
