I had the absolute honor of creating these special illustrations for Alex Rochon!

For his very own D&D one-shot, I designed every single character from the show — reimagined in fabulous, fantasy-inspired outfits!

Alex gave me wonderful descriptions and references for his vision, and together we brought these chaotic, lovable characters into a whole new world.

The DnD stream was hilarious, heartfelt, and so full of personality — and seeing the cast bring the designs to life was such a surreal moment!

Right after the stream, fans started drawing fanart of my designs!!

I’m honestly so proud and beyond grateful that something I created inspired others to create too.

Thank you again to Alex and the cast for trusting me with this magical project — and to everyone who’s shared love for the designs, you’ve made my artist heart so full 💕

(Also: everyone who draws fanart of my designs is now legally required to tag me in their posts. I don’t make the rules 😌)

This view from the Artemis II Orion spacecraft reveals a heavily cratered portion of the far side of the Moon. They vary in size, and in some areas, there are even craters within craters. The lighting here enhances contrast across the terrain, highlighting differences in surface features and giving insight into the Moon’s geologic history.

As a lifelong Dem:

I'm not Jewish but watching people on the left not only unironically but casually repeat the kind of shit that the OG Nazis were saying in the 30s and then disregard me when I tell them that (with receipts) is scary AF. Somewhere down the line, the ideas and language of social justice got swerved in a very bad way so that antisemitism would still be "ok."

Donate to Keep A Trans Woman Off The Streets, organized by May Notaname

Hello again! Some of you probably remember me asking for almost exactly this kind of h… May Notaname needs your support for Keep A Trans Wom

So a friend of mine traveled across the country, only to get kicked out by a piece of shit ex, and wind up homeless during one of the worst winters in recent memories. She can’t get a job out there. She is running out of local support. She is running out of money. And I won’t sugar coat it, being a trans woman, and being homeless during winter is a death sentence. We’re doing everything we can to keep her afloat, but we’re all poor, and being poor is fucking hard.

Anything helps - even $5 can be food for a day. If you can’t help, sharing is just as helpful. Just please. I can’t lose her.

Funds will go to food, meds, and short term housing to keep her safe until we can get something more permanent set up.

There are two wolves inside me...

One wolf is aggravated by Linkara's review of the Rise of Skywalker comic adaptation because it's the same tired, cliche, utterly bad faith and tone-deaf criticisms lobbed at the movie rather than any of its actual faults. "Wah, why resurrect Palpatine, he was nowhere in the previous two movies and him suddenly being the Big Bad and Final Boss instead of Kylo Ren ruins the trilogy!" (he even shot himself in the foot here by noting that Palpatine was only ever the actual main villain of the previous trilogy enders, and by dismissing the Skywalker Saga defense saying this is the Sequel Trilogy first and foremost as if the film's title doesn't literally include Episode IX meaning by default it connects all the way back to Episode I not just the prior two episodes). "Wah, why make Rey a Palpatine and not someone from nowhere whom the Force just gifted power to, why endorse the Divine Right of Kings from royal bloodlines and then have her become a Skywalker following Luke and Leia's leads instead of carving her own path on top of that?" (he completely misses how this connects to how Rey's arc was set up in TFA and even where she was left off in TLJ where she'd accepted her found family with the Resistance and Skywalkers and is thus challenged when told she's of that family's mortal enemy's blood). "Wah, why redeem Kylo Ren, he was nothing but bad and had no moments that made us ever want to see him redeemed!" (he does Adam Driver's performance a disservice and acts as if Ben Solo didn't get a shit ton of fans who not only wanted him to get redeemed but to survive that redemption as a result). Linkara is yet another TLJ-loving critic who is offended on the perceived walk-backs from that movie and denying the extent to which TLJ didn't align well with TFA / TLJ's ending didn't lend itself well to a satisfactory conclusion to the Skywalker Saga, and is just pinning all the blame for the Sequel Trilogy's shitshow production on the final movie even when you actually look at the situation without emotion it's objectively the least to blame and was just working with what it had. He's better at expressing his views than Brad Jones and the Walkers, but it's still frustrating to hear these views trotted out over half a decade later. Get over it already!

The other wolf is very appreciative of Linkara's segments at the beginning and the end where he defends "Disney Star Wars", points out that Star Wars has always been an omni-present merchandising juggernaut with a shit-ton of installments to varying degrees of quality with messy lore and the only difference with Disney is that it's doing more live-action installments than just sticking to books, comics, cartoons, video games, etc., that it has always been divided between itself and thus the fandom has been similarly divided as well, does not give into the gaslighting about how George Lucas and the Prequel Trilogy and the state of the franchise in general back then were treated that modern fans such as "the Fandom Menace" engage in, and that time heals all wounds which causes previously contested Star Wars installments to gain reappraisals especially from new generations of fans, with fun memes in particular being a major factor - specifically noting how TROS already has that going for it much like ROTS did. In the end, this space wizard shit shouldn't be taken so damn seriously!

But then, I have a love-hate relationship with Linkara in general, so I guess that tracks.
