ULTIMATE TEAM DARK! (in my mind...)

I started this in April and have been slowly working on it in between commissions/other art/life etc... I was procrastinating putting the text in but since Sonic 4 just wrapped filming I knew I had to finish it! I'm so excited to see what the next movie has to offer. Maybe some day there will be an opportunity for Agent Stone to have more of a main role and possibly lead Team Dark? or have a new story written for him. I would also love to see Rouge and Omega added as the Sonic cinematic universe expands. Fingers crossed!

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

[hungry-skeleton]

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing

This image is so so fucking important to me

Someone requested a doodle of “some of the Dominion’s anti-human propaganda” but tbh this is too real outside of star trek. this is probably plastered over the entire Citadel in Mass Effect

[bittylildragon]

I love that this cautionary pamphlet didn’t know how many nipples humans have and thus just added a bunch of ‘em

[trickstertime]

They’re mammals, right? So how many nipples do mammals have? Somewhere between 2 and 19?? What the hell are they doing that for???? Awful creatures.

I love when artists give Espio fat, heart-shaped twunk-tits.

Tumblr Staff, after making a half hearted apology for mass banning trans women, has just today mass banned trans women a second time

I don't have exact numbers yet, but at least twenty users were terminated at the same exact time, recieving an "internally generated report" refusing to declare reason for the ban. I quote, "Upon review of your account we have determined that it does not align with our terms of service". No reason given, this was clearly a deliberate action by staff as they themselves claim

Tumblr staff is currently mass banning trans women again. Make them know this is unnaceptable

A few years ago, I noticed a dire lack of drawings of Shadow the Hedgehog wearing Jotaro's outfit from Stone Ocean, so I decided to draw one myself! I slightly modified the design to make the outfit more suitable for Shadow (red Shadow logos instead of green stars, for example).

Would y'all be interested in more drawings of Sonic characters wearing JoJo outfits?

100 Dialogue Tags You Can Use Instead of “Said”

For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words). 

1. Neutral Tags 

Straightforward and unobtrusive dialogue tags: 

Added, Replied, Stated, Remarked, Responded, Observed, Acknowledged, Commented, Noted, Voiced, Expressed, Shared, Answered, Mentioned, Declared.

2. Questioning Tags 

Curious, interrogative dialogue tags:

Asked, Queried, Wondered, Probed, Inquired, Requested, Pondered, Demanded, Challenged, Interjected, Investigated, Countered, Snapped, Pleaded, Insisted.

3. Emotive Tags 

Emotional dialogue tags:

Exclaimed, Shouted, Sobbed, Whispered, Cried, Hissed, Gasped, Laughed, Screamed, Stammered, Wailed, Murmured, Snarled, Choked, Barked.

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.
