Okay folx, last chance to back the Misbehavin’ Maidens’ 3rd Album Kickstarter! It ends May 10 at 10 p.m. EDT! We are a 100% indie, self-funded band.

The album we’re funding, “Swearing is Caring,” is full of wonderfully nerdy, feminist, LGBTQIAP+-inclusive comedy music, plus a lot of swearing, because #Big2019Mood, y'all.

It’s got songs about libraries, anxiety, what not to say after sex, mansplaining, catcalling, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and more.

Because we’ve met stretch goals, everyone who backs the Kickstarter gets bonus stuff, too:

1. All physical-reward-level backers will receive a “Swearing is Caring” sticker

2. ALL backers will receive a bonus, downloadable coloring book page

3. All $5+ level backers will receive an early-release single IF we hit our $17,500 stretch goal (and as I write this, we’re less than $500 away!)

Backer-exclusive rewards (ones you won’t be able to get anywhere else) include:

1. Skull pillow

2. Drunken postcard

3. Glittery variant “Swearing is Caring” enamel pin

So don’t miss out! And thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far - please continue spreading the word! And even if you don’t have money to spare right now, reblogs are super helpful. Thank you for boosting the signal!

[thekaraokeninja]

It’s been a while, Tumblr, but our new album Kickstarter ends soon and we’d very much appreciate a signal boost if you’re able.

Thanks for 6 years of feminist, sex-positive, LGBTQIAP+ inclusive, hella nerdy music! <3

[amatalefay]

You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme, repeat the sound another time, Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya. Another rhyme, a rising note - congratulations, you just wrote Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah.

‘Maenad’ - Apora Poe, cleric of Dionysus

I had wanted to try a full-on Baroque/Renaissance style portrait, so Apora is depicted as a Maenad, pouring out her wine as libations for her god, Dionysus. She is based on a painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, and I learned a lot about digital painting in doing this picture.

As an r/characterdrawing inspired piece, the the original prompt is here . Painting Apora has certainly made me think that some day I would love to play a campaign based on Ancient Greek mythology.

[thekaraokeninja]

I KNOW I HAVE BEEN QUIET HERE BUT I CANNOT BE RIGHT NOW.

EVERYONE EVERYONE I’M SCREAMING THIS IS MY NEW CLERIC IDEA. LIKE LITERALLY. I AM SO HAPPY. @primordialsquid IS FLIPPING AMAZING.

Searching for a Fic

Doctor Who fanfic readers and writers of Tumblr, please lend me your knowledge. I'm in search of a DW fic I read maybe 2 or 3 years back, I believe on Archive of Our Own, but lost the link to and can't remember the title or author. I really liked it and was hoping to find and reread. Hoping someone else may remember it. What I know: -Doctor/River -The Doctor takes River to an alien planet around the time of a special yearly festival. -A big part of the festival is releasing these paper lanterns/candles high into the atmosphere while thinking about someone. -The lanterns are supposed to come back down in the presence of that person. -Towards the end River finds out the Doctor has been coming back for centuries of this festival and sending them, then is completely shocked to find out they're all for her as hundreds (some really old and worn) rain down around her. I haven't been able to find this story again, so if you remember it and have a link please send it my way? Thank you! Sincerely, A Shameless Fic Fan

anime’s redemption story

[seulerosea-blog]

              once  upon  a  time,  in  a  faraway  land,  a  young  prince  lived  in  a  shining  castle.  although  he  had  everything  his  heart  desired,  the  prince  was  an  absolute  douchecanoe.

[lordjazor]

Oh man…. XD This is beautiful.

[thekaraokeninja]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.

[thekaraokeninja]

well now that I realize it you don't have to do that M!A so sorry about that. but are you okay with answering all the other asks I sent?? ovo

That’s all right! Understood.

As for the other two...I can answer as long as you don’t mind me taking creative liberty in my handling to adjust for the character and my own comfort level (and again, avoiding difficulties in the prop department). That’s what I was gonna do anyway since I couldn’t be sure I’d be able to have an OOC convo beforehand. Though it’d be brief in that sense. Because that sort of thing I tend to stay away from, mostly because comfort level but also partly because it doesn’t really allow me anything to do otherwise, you know? ._.;;

I really appreciate your encouragement with the blog even with all the downtime I’ve had and I’m super excited to still have people to interact with. I can’t guarantee I’ll always be comfortable responding to every scenario exactly, but as long as we’re on the same page with that, feel free to keep throwing stuff my way and I’ll do my best.

[thekaraokeninja]

hey just one other thing: I sent in an M!A (and you don't have to do it obviously) but if you do accept it can you answer all the asks before that first and then activate the M!A?

Oh good, I’d actually been hoping I’d be able to ask about that one. What type are you referring to? Because the usual American definition of the word would be kinda impossible to fake (plus especially strange/silly so I was doubting you meant that). The British definition is a bit easier to obtain, but if you meant something different I didn’t want to go poking the Doctor to borrow a pair unnecessarily. xD

[thekaraokeninja]

okay please take ur time!! xoxoxo

[thekaraokeninja]

awww yeah!!!! can you go back to that blog tomorrow or in a few days maybe if possible??

Definitely gimme a few days if that’s okay. My apartment building hasn’t switched over to air conditioning yet so the heat is still blowing and it’s pretty miserable. Being half-melted never works well on camera. >_>;

[thekaraokeninja]

hey, can you please go back to your River (answers-from-stormcage) ask blog soon?? I miss your river!!!

T_T This makes me so damn happy, thank you. I’m totally working on getting back to that blog because it’s always been fun, and now that the CD’s done I’ll have some more free time in my evenings.

The Hamilton Cosplay Police Needs To Take Several Seats

I am a multiracial Angelica Schuyler cosplayer. While I wait for Amazon to deliver my dress form and wait for my turn to see Hamilton on October 21, I’m popping on here to say this very important message:

DO NOT MODULATE THE KEY OF THE BLACKFACE IN COSPLAY DEBATE TO SERVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS! WHITE PEOPLE CAN COSPLAY HAMILTON AS LONG AS THERE IS NO SKIN DARKENING!

Let me repeat that one more time for these wannabe Samuel Seabury’s:

WHITE PEOPLE CAN COSPLAY HAMILTON AS LONG AS THERE IS NO SKIN DARKENING! WE PEOPLE OF COLOR SHOULD WELCOME RACIALLY PROGRESSIVE WHITE FOLKS INTO THE FANDOM, NOT KEEP THEM AWAY! HAMILTON IS TEACHING RACIAL ACCEPTANCE, WHY ARE Y'ALL TRYING TO STOP THIS BY POLICING COSPLAY?!?! 

I haven’t seen a single instance of a blackface attempt by white cosplayers in this fandom. NOT ONE. I have white cosplay friends who are kickass Jeffersons, Hamiltons and Elizas. Another white friend of mine is paying me several hundred dollars to commission Eliza from me. I am considered an expert in 18th Century cosplay by the people who know me best, hence the commission. How dare you accuse me and my friends I of perpetuating racism when all we’re doing is having fun?!?!?!

UNLESS YOU ARE LIN’S LAWYERS HANDING ME A CEASE AND DESIST, YOUR POLICING DOESN’T MEAN SHIT! YOUR TROLLING IS FOR NAUGHT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CULTURAL APPROPRIATION OR BLACKFACE. YOUR “POINT” IS A STRAWMAN DESIGNED TO BULLY PEOPLE AND THIS ANGELICA ISN’T GOING TO STAND FOR IT! 

Please repost and add on if you agree. If you were attacked by these trolls, you have my permission to cosplay Hamilton anyway! And if you don’t agree, meet me at Weehawken at dawn with your guns drawn. ;)

[thekaraokeninja]

Cosplay don't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, It takes and it takes and it takes (money), But we still cosplay anyway, We sew and we bind and we ache and we make our mistakes, And there's a good reason, a character I tried, though bullies said 'Denied!', So I won't take your hate for it, Don't berate, too late, will not debate for it~
