Digital Illustration of a dark fairy with raven wings standing in the center of the composition, bird like feet with one foot and claws on a small animal skull and other bones scattered around the bottom of the composition and intertwined with the treelike design of the boarder, the background is dark with a bright moon behind the figure's head, one glowing eye looking out at the viewer under a skull helmet, the figure holds a bloody spear up with a lawed hand and a spine bone arm brace. In the style of a vintage cosmetics advertisement, art of Silco from Arcane in profile holding up a makeup compact and a powder puff, backlit by the window in his office and green light, elbows resting on his desk with various objects like books, ashtray with Jinx doodles, and a glow of an orange, sitting in his chair. Bottom half of page has text and powder puff with packaging, in the color of shimmer pink/purple on the left and green on the right. Text: Forge yourself into something greater! To lovely Zaunites the equisitie EYE OF ZAUN PUFF EYE OF ZAUN PUFF is attained by special looming is the very utmost in puff power and perfection. That And thus resulting rare quality of retaining exactly the softer, finer texture _~ which invariably distinguishes right surlaceamount of powder and distrinuting evently THE NATION OF ZAUN EYE OF ZAUN PUFFS are made in all sizes to suit your needs--rich, velvety velour or soft, deep-piled poro's wool. The workmanship is perfect. Compare them with any pulls you have ever used. EYE OF JAUN POWDER PUFF Each packed in attractive dust-proof container Your hands are the first to touch them. Prices: 10 to 75 bronze washers Bo-Katan surrounded by flames and smoke and debris, looking at the viewer with an intense expression as she is in midair with blaster bolts coming towards her, jetpack blazing and vibro blade out, her shield held up casting a blue light onto her face Looking up at Anthy Himemiya, her the skirts of her dress swirling up into a rose pattern, she has one arm lifted holding the sword of Dios as if she's about to bring it down on the viewer, her eyes are red and there is a wind blowing glowing red rose petals around and the background has a psychedelic wavering to it with the rose crest faintly seen in the far background behind her head

A small black and white comic. The comic shows me in four stages. At the beginning I am lurched over in my office chair, prepared to work hard. A speech bubble says: 'Okay. Time to lock in and-.' My cat's head is peeking up from around my lap. In the second part, my cat has started to crawl into my space. I look down at her, but am still distractedly saying: 'Time to lock-' In the third part my cat is starting to make herself comfortable on my chest, where she likes to be. I am succumbing, looking off in the distance saying: 'To-' By the fourth section, I have fully surrendered. She is sleeping on chest. It's all over.

HEY BTW this is why I hate the argument "minimum wage shouldn't be a living wage b/c it's fun money for teens" DID U KNOW there are teens who work b/c they actually need $$$?? Maybe if min wage were more than $7.25/hr this poor kid wouldn't have felt pressured to have sex with MATT FUCKING GAETZ

This Trans Awareness Week you owe yourself some cute trans fiction. They're magical girls and they're musicians and they're gay. Gayer than you think. Even gayer than that, in fact

It’s Transgender Awareness Week. I’m trans. Happily so! (Apart from *gestures at the world*.)

I also make trans art - books about a trans magical girl and all her gay teammates. You might like ‘em, and it directly supports me because this is my whole job. 😅 magicariot.com

Listen I like Jayvik but if anyone is going to be fucking racist about meljay or Mel you can fuck off. You don’t have to love the ship but the visceral hatred is something else, you’re not championing queerness it’s just misogynynoir. Shipping is not your free card to be racist.

this is very funny btw. I'm putting them in a bundle sale when we reopen the online store
Zoomed in part of the prints catalogue. In it, it's shown one of angimcart@bsky illustration of older vanco from the au dancing and loving. Underneath it, there's an illustration of canon vanco in the same pose but mirrored and inverted, and rather than sweet and romantic it's violent in colours, atmosphere, and theme.

Hello everyone! Me and @angimcart.bsky.social, along with our friend @kumishire.bsky.social are going to be in Paris at Y/CON on november 15/16! More pics of our stuff in the replies 🤸

1/3
Tiny drawing of Juju and Angi (+ kitty) in front of the y/con digital flier. Speech bubble text:"WE'RE GOING TO PARIS" Flier text: Y/CON - le salon des homo-fictions - 11ème édition - 15 & 16 NOVEMBRE 2025 - PARIS Digital drawing of Angi, Juju, and Kumi all piled up in front of the con map. Speech bubble text: "WE WILL BE HERE, AT BOOTH 8 IN CHEMIN DE L'ASSTROLORGIE WITH OUR FRIEND KUMISHIRE!" The logo of the collective "Finto Collettivo" is in the forefront A lot of pins in various designs. Some are couples from arcane, others are cats in starbucks-like frappuccino glasses, others are frogs in pride flag colours, there's fancy blades in front of flowers, regency era hands holding onto each other in various combinations, and a couple "old men yaoi" and "old women yuri" text pins. Text: "We have... Pins!" Text: Keychains! A bunch of arcane, deltarune, and gravity falls keychains.

digital painting of vander and silco from arcane. The characters are against a bright red background, with acid green highlights. Silco has his eyes closed, his face pressed against Vander's neck, holding him gently on the small of his back with one hand, and holding his hand with the other. It's an intimate pose, like they are dancing , except for the fact that Vander is slumped over, possibly dead, and has a big bright stab wound in his back.

It seems Riot is only doubling down on its erasure of their black female characters. The new Arcane anniversary for League of Legends doesn't include Mel and Ambessa at all either. /

Please post about the lack of Mel and Ambessa in this post on the reddit.

Here’s a reminder of the last official merch Riot released for Mel Medarda.

Not only is she excluded from events, exhibits, & anniversary releases- the rare time minimal effort was made, she was depicted as being brutalized and killed by a white man (not to mention whitewashed) #arcane

YouTooz Faces Backlash After Racist Arcane Meme Featuring Mel Medarda
YouTooz, the collectibles brand known for creating figures across major fandoms, sparked backlash after sharing a short animation featuring Arcane characters Viktor and Mel Medarda. The clip showed Viktor sitting in a car as Mel appeared on the road ahead, framed in a way that suggested violence rather than humor. Within minutes, YouTooz deleted the post, but screenshots spread fast. Fans accused the company of promoting racism and misogyny against Mel, a Black woman who already faces bias within the Arcane fandom.

Backlit portrait cosplay shot of Franzi as older Vander. He is looking down at something the viewer doesn't see, smiling slightly. He is not wearing his man bun and he's shirtless, like he's just gotten out of bed. Backlit shot of Vander's hand pouring coffee into a cup from a coffee pot. The light creates beautiful highlights in the metal cup and pot. The coffee is so hot that you there is a lot of steam rising from the cup. Portrait cosplay shot of Jul as older Silco lying in bed. He is holding his hand up and looking at a ring on his finger with a smile. In this shot, the light creates shadows of Vander and Silco on the bedroom wall. Vander is handing Silco his cup of coffee, and they are just about to kiss. In the foreground there are crumbled bedsheets, and Vander's and Silco's folded shirts lie below the shadows by the wall.
