Gender Nonconforming Jesus: A Look At Art History. CW: Religion, Transphobia, Artistic Nudity, Depictions

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

So, for ArtFight this year I had a "Design A Demigod" section to help me get the designs for these 500+ campers I've been working on to flesh out the camp population throughout canon, and to my delight, I got thirteen* designs out of it, which I am very grateful for! I've now managed to give all of those kids their own icons in my own style (and assigning them their names and/or beads where necessary), and am now showing them off because these original designs were all amazing!

*I can count, I promise - one of these was given to me outside of ArtFight, because this is not a thing that is limited to ArtFight and more info about the project will be at the bottom of this post if anyone's interested!

So what is this project?

Basically, I'm populating the entirety of the camp from 1998 through to 2020 for fic reasons. I've worked out all the kids' names, parentages and camp dates, and have opened the floor for people to help come up with visual designs for all of these kids. If there's any general interest on tumblr, I'll put up details of what I'm looking for later.

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

"Actually the autistic way of communication is the superior one and allistics are so stupid for expecting me to-" No guys I'm sorry, but the road to effective communication is to actually listen, communicate, accommodate to the best of your ability and try to find a middle ground, not to develop separate superiority complexes

Flipping the narrative here i love small talk and i’m very good at it. I love saying “thank god we had that rain!” And “the construction downtown is CRAZY” it gives me a rush

im like if there was someone who never knew what was happening or going on

gay catholic onlyfans called “sell-a-bussy” in the hopes that the holy father mishears what these fine gentlemen are practicing
