in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:
Hello dear friends! β€π€π€π
πI am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza ππ, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people β€β€ who have been sufferingππ for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.
Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

I may not be able to currently donate myself, but I need to do something to bring awareness. For anyone who sees this, please share and/or donate.
Haven't really posted any of my own stuff on this blog in a while lol
So have some of my ocs, Nils [REDACTED], Phillip Blythe, and Leon Locke
They're all dating :3
I'm trying to overcome my same face syndrome, and try to give my characters more distinct features.
you look beautiful honey
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Introducing... Cassie Jackson's stardew portrait! Like before, I used this for the base!
This one was a doozy! I couldn't find any of Cassie's main features on the portrait maker (her downturned eyes, wider nose, and longer 4b-ish hair), so I did it myself! I do appreciate there being some different hair textures available, since they made a great reference for the texture and shading!
While it was a challenge, I genuinely enjoyed doing this, partly because I love Cassie as a character, and partly because her design is so different than what I used to draw.
I used to not be good at drawing different features, I really wanted to change that and be more inclusive with my art. With Cassie, I wanted to push myself both with drawing different features and writing a different kind of character! (I don't have many transfem characters, and I need to fix that. Cassie here is mtf, and she hasn't had any hormones or surgeries. I want to be able to properly write the experiences of a transwoman).
So, ramble aside, I am incredibly proud of this portrait!
God I love old man yaoi
