To anyone upset about Michaela Stirling and the queer representation this season, my only response is this recent quote from the incredible Ncuti Gatwa:

"People need to be f**king seen. What are you going to do, tell the same stories? Have the same people fronting things for all of eternity? Representation and inclusivity and branching out... it enriches us all. How embarrassing. You people with your tiny mindsets – open a book, look out the window and then f**k off."

And Happy Pride to the rest of us! Benedict is finally a boy kisser!!!

Some very eloquent notes on violence as a necessity for resistance.

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

Hey guys. Would really appreciate if you could all rb!

Am open for commissions, each one is only 40 usd.

I can draw mostly anything- absolutely would love to draw your ocs, dnd characters, baldurs gate, final fantasy characters.. etc. My special fields of interest are fantasy ocs, but I can also draw your cats and puppies.

My only rules are that I cannot draw furry and mech and real people, as it is beyond my capabilities. No nfts, and please be kind. I try to draw as hard and as fast as I possibly can.

In desperate need of more funding. I am the only one in my family who can work, all three of my family members are disabled, one of which are completely unable to move independently. A lot of my funds and such go to their Healthcare. I also price down comms as low as I can, because of the state of the world. I only made 350 usd last month, and yesterday they cut out our power, trying to get some means to get the power back up as philippine weather is so humid that wet bulb levels of heat are possible, and we have some food in the fridge still in I really do not want to spoil

Please purchase a commission through ko-fi! I'm more than happy to work for you!

LINK to purchase a portrait on my ko-fi! < you can submit both payment and info there. Thank you everyone. Stay safe out there.
