celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

[animusbell]

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

[jukashi]

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

I don't usually market myself as a "queer-owned business" (I'm a little too straight and a little too married, despite being openly aspec, to not feel like I'm appropriating the label a bit), however,

SableGear Studios is my freelance editing business!

I specialize in small non-fiction documents (eg. newsletters, articles, essays, instructions, etc) and would love to work with someone releasing periodical materials like a regular newsletter.

I have done some work localizing (machine-)translated works, so if you need a native English speaker to give your work a tune-up, I'm well equipped for that.

I will also do short fiction and offer a discount for transformative works, reach out to me via the website's email for details!

I use NO "AI" or algorithmic tools, nor will I work with algorithmically generated material.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

hey staff what the fuck

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

I am so glad my neighbour's bird feeder attracts native sparrows. Love seeing and hearing the cheeky little guys and their cute stripy faces and their tiny chittery voices.

PokemonGO are you threatening me?

THE CHAFF PROJECT

Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!

How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.

Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses.

Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.

You follow up with a letter to the business saying you're fucking furious because some nosy dipshit just tried to play fucking genital police with you in the loos. You know lots of trans people (don't name any, if you do) and you wear the pin in support and you're disgusted at them for allowing this.

Blame the business for allowing the behaviour.

Businesses see that their cis customers are getting bothered over a badge and may clarify trans-inclusive policies, so they can kick out the bathroom botherers instead of nice cis allies.

You only need to buy and wear the badge, and you are protecting trans people. You can be genuinely heroic. Even one cis person doing this helps, and everyone you get to join in helps even more.

Tonight, I am making bad art. Please feel free to comment / reblog this post and make a request anyway you like.

The prompts for the above were 1) a Lotus of some kind, 2) a sloth playing a musical instrument, 3) a duck, and 4) a hamster in the form of Godzilla

[knitmeapony]

@obscurelocalstranger @hsavinien how about a raccoon playing an accordion?

@autumnsneedle one fruit bat with his handy dandy inverted bongos!

[knitmeapony]

A little cartoony and he moved before I could finish the back leg

[knitmeapony]

I never realized they're basically wearing tiny Hammer pants. @lululandd

Edit: I can't believe I almost forgot his tail

[knitmeapony]

All the sketches from tonight! I'll definitely do this again, this was fun.

[tumbalendar]

In Honor of Release Bad Art Day, I'm re-releasing some of my bad art! Fast sketches, joyfully done, released immediately.

Grab some Dollar Store crayons, doodle a bunny. That sketch you've been noodling with for like 200 hours and you just can't get it right? Post it anyway.

Got some incredibly self-indulgent recordings of you singing your favorite song? Throw that shit on soundcloud.

Doesn't matter what it is. Doesn't matter if it's ready for prime time or safe for work. The journey is the destination, baby. If you were having fun and or trying to say something, it counts.

Please create bad art, or release the art you think is bad into the world. This is your permission to post ANYTHING, to spend time making ANYTHING, to try something new or let go of something old.

And tag it #make bad art or @ me so I can see it.

[sablegear0]

I told myself I would post some of my attempts at sumi-e for @tumbalendar 's Make Bad Art Day so here they are, crinkly paper and all!

I am under no illusion that these are any good but I'm proud of my experimentations! It's literally just a fun medium to work with and I'm happy to have tried it.
