The 2021 Gender Census Is Now Open!

dragon age sideblog: andhers

As a lesbian who used to identify as aro/ace, I just wanna say that I'm never going to stop supporting the aro/ace community. It was a big part of my personal journey and I really valued being part of a group that's so open to people exploring their identity. If you don't believe that aro/ace identities are valid and belong in the lgbt+ community, I don't want you on my blog

Hi everyone!!! This is an art supplies giveaway for me reaching an amount of followers I said I’d do a giveaway at!

Here are the things you’ll be getting, as you can see from the photo!

6” by 10” Sketchbook for both wet and dry media

A bottle of ink, you pick the color, I’ll order it from a specific site

A fountain pen that comes with the ink from the same site

11 colors of Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors

3 brushes

A drawing of a subject of your choice to go on the first page! You might want to check my art out if you’re unfamiliar with me to see what types of things I usually do

And that’s that.  I don’t use any of those watercolor tubes anymore, as I’ve replaced them each with higher quality tubes, so I thought: why not give them away?  And I like the fountain pen I’ve been using so much that I think I’d like someone else to try it, too.  I’ve also replaced the three brushes I’ve included here, so I don’t need those, either.  And a drawing for good measure.

Here are the rules! Please follow these:

No giveaway blogs.  I want more people to actually see this and have a chance at getting something; a lot of artists don’t have a lot of money…

Reblogs enter you, and a Like helps.  You can’t just like - but you can do both to double your chances of just reblogging (if it falls on someone who liked it, I’ll check to see if they reblogged it)

I’ll be checking the blog that wins to see if you’re an active blog.

You gotta use these after they arrive! I obviously can’t enforce this, but I want to see people not being timid! Make art! That’s what these are for.  I know a thing that stops a lot of people is being scared they’ll mess up and waste expensive supplies… but if this is a gift, that shouldn’t matter!

This ends on May 24th. If I send an ask and you don’t respond within 2 days, I’ll ask the next person, and so on.

I will ship anywhere. I’ll pay the shipping.

I think that’s everything.  Have fun!!! Good luck!

ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!!

This time, it’s Mica’s “Dad, why the hell would you give me Star Trek shirts? One has your face on it. It’s creepy. I don’t care that a con gifted them to you. You’re not going to wear them? Fine. Tumblr can have them” giveaway!! Rules:

you don’t have to be following me, but it would be awesome if you did. Also, I’ll put your name in 5 times rather than 1. I know I’m not a Star Trek blog, but I do post a lot of the reboot! Because Chris Pine’s eyes are the bluest blue to ever blue.

I’m going to regret this if someone from China wins due to my college student budget, but I’ll ship anywhere. 

I’d like it if it get’s a few hundred plus notes so, you know, it’s worth it.

Reblog as many times as you want. Likes count.

Don’t be a douche bag and have a giveaway blog.

Giveaway will end on August 1st like my Supernatural one.

You shall receive:

4 Star Trek shirts shown above. 

They are all various sizes from S-L 

If the post gets 1,000+ notes, I’ll throw in an autographed and personalized picture of LeVar Burton. Why not? I live in the same house as him, might as well make use of it.

Good luck!

9 Questions Meme

I was tagged by wentworthsbitch.

1.What’s your name?

Jack!

2. What’s your URL?

carletoncolton

3. What’s your blog’s name?

I Know

4. Have a crush?

Uhm, in a way - on my BFF. Although, since my feelings in that direction are wholly platonic, it's probably more like a squish. ( ˘ ³˘) ♡ Casandra ❤

5. What’s your favorite color?

I can't choose, really. But black, red, and gold are always at the top of my list.

6. WRITE SOMETHING IN ALL CAPS:

PLEASE HIRE ME. ANYONE. PLEASE. *hurls an armful of cover letters and résumés into the wind*

7. Got a favorite band/singer?

Mm-hm, and it's Damon Albarn. I don't have to look for something to love in anything he does; it just presents itself all matter-of-factly. Blur, Gorillaz, his solo work, his operas, his film soundtracks... Hell, I even like the murmuring, circuitous way he talks.

8. Favorite number?

17, 27, 9... one of those.

9. Favorite drink?

I've been irrevocably seduced by coffee, I think, over the last few months. *gazes moodily into Star Trek mug*

I challenge your ability to eat more than me. In the best possible way. If ever you're in London, I'm taking you on a review, and we are pigging out to an unspeakable degree. (If that sounds agreeable.)

Challenge accepted. *slaps glow-in-the-dark fingerless skeleton gloves onto the table* (What? They were on sale.) And nothing could sound more agreeable, thank you! If I ever do get up to London, looks like one of us will be eating our words that day - among other things.

what i say: omg he's so hot i'm gonna die

what i mean: we live in an overtly sexual culture that doesn't recognize sensual and aesthetic attraction as separate from sexual desire and as an ace individual i am incapable of expressing my appreciation for someone's beauty in a simple way that doesn't have a sexual connotation please bear with me

"We need to recognize that for some people sex is great and for some sex is horrific and for some it’s on par with folding laundry."
