#Utena #swords #wip :o Slowly Getting There

Things I should do: finish the color comp. doing instead: work on both simultaneously.

As a content creator

I will no longer be using tumblr to write and post my content. Why?

Because I sometimes write adult content. Not only sexual content, but violence and other adult themes. Why do I write such things?

Because I have written them for years. Because, as a writer, life is not all rainbows and butterflies. I write books and stories about humans. There is sex, but also themes of death, violence and sadness. This is part of human nature.

Tumblr’s full-ban on adult content is one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever seen. This is their way of trying to clean up their self-created mess that will drive away large portions of their base, because “adult content” is more than just the annoying porn-bots.

Adult content, as we have seen, has hit things such as “Chronic pain” blogs but also blogs that are LGBT+ friendly. I’m queer and I have a chronic illness.

While my run on tumblr has been long, I am willing to move on from it. I lived through Strikethrough on LJ. I will survive this.

My friends, my fellow content creators, my readers, and anyone else who sees this— don’t delete your tumblrs. Leave them as skeletons. Allow tumblr to cannibalize itself and only leave the bones behind.

This really is Strikethrough 2.0.

Stay calm, and begin to back up everything.

Good luck, my loves.

For Pride, For Honor, For Glory

Summary: “Tell me how you sucker punched the crap out of that piece of shit Loras and embarrassed him to the point he won’t even look you in the eye.”

Tanner is fifteen years old. The pretty bastard of the army, a fledgling soldier, and a popular subject of gossip; Loras wants to see if he can add another notch on his belt.

It’s a GOT-type setting, so genre-typical warnings apply. Attempted sexual assault of a minor, intoxication.

It said something about Tanner and Allister’s closeness to where, even after a fuck, they were cordial enough to share the same bed, hold each other close, and engage in pillow talk that ranged from military tactics to the going-ons of the campsite.

Perhaps cordial wasn’t the right word. Tanner knew, but he’d rather Allister figure it out on his own than be forthright. They had gone this long without saying what they were, preferring to let the others guess and know with looks, touches, and a need to be together to signal what they meant to each other. Tanner looked at it that way, in any case.

Allister snorted before tossing his head back and letting a laugh out from deep in his chest. “No, no, no, really? That was you? You, the pretty bastard of the army?”

Tanner crinkled his nose and made a snort, then a laugh. “What, you think I don’t know how to throw a punch?” He gave a light shove to Allister’s chest.

“Never said that! Tell me how you sucker punched the crap out of that piece of shit Loras and embarrassed him to the point he won’t even look you in the eye,” Allister teased, toothy grin and a devilish delight in his eyes. He pushed Tanner’s hip with a tease, laughing when Tanner brushed his hand away.

“It’s a long story,” Tanner offered, to which Allister gestured to the dark night outside. They had hours until the morning.

A gentle reminder that I am more of an idiot and chatty over on my reblog space: @psychicpulses

Here is where I uh try to keep it art related

Subtractive work

Oh my god it’s done.

So been on a fanart-for-fanfic kind of kick and this one is inspired by/for @steelestingray‘s Of Kings and Curators! It’s been really refreshing just making things for things I like versus worrying about monetizing, cons and the like. I really enjoyed the mental image of Laurent having an aura that goes between gold and blush and blue and wanted to play around with it (the blue, I could lie and say was deliberate, but my brush flicked some ink. I just shrugged and went with it.)

I still feel like Laurent came out looking like a J Crew/LL Bean model mixed with a history T.A. with the sweater-vest but honestly, I’m glad I stuck with it.

Detail shot from the salt wash because I told myself I wouldn’t, but I have the impulse control of a toddler.

Graphite (2H and 2B,) watercolor (Daniel Smith,) Liquitex Iridescent Gold ink, and Pilot Iroshizuku inks in Kon-peki (Cerulean Blue) and Syoro (Dew on Pine Tree/a really lovely blue-green.)

This backlog is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

More carving/etching/idk and I'm sure if I used tools for wood it'd work but jamming to bjork and using scratch board tools will suffice

Further progress on Jupiter #wktd #weknowthedevil #drawlloween

2015, finally done with this beast 8Dv
