[ #pxrgame ] the demo of my game about transmascs doing roller derby, P#SSY RIOT, is officially published! i learned to program just to spend the last month working on it -- it'd mean a lot to me if you checked it out! <3 (the game isn't NSFW; just cheeky.)

Another work I did for the Vanco Halloween Exchange (@vancohalloween.bsky.social), a gift for @plnie.bsky.social (PlNie @ ao3) following their prompt "the spark of a revolution" and imagining a first meeting between my beloveds... happy ending is there if you squint I promise
#vanco #zaundads

B&W comic page. In the first panel young miner Silco is shouting while holding fliers. Miners walk past him, paying no attention to him. In the second panel, Vander is staring at him, asking a fellow, older worker "... who is that?", to which the man replies "Who, Silco? I'd stay away from him, if I were you."

B&W comic page. First panel: Silco is trying to get the attention of a miner. Vander's coworker's voice is shown in balloons out of frame. He's talking about Silco: "He's one of those "Nation of Zaun" separatists. A real hot-head, that one. Always starting shit he can't finish. "Second panel: extreme closeup of Vander staring at Silco. The other man is still talking, though Vander seemingly isn't paying attention to his words: "He's passionate, I'll give him that. Almost got his face caved in by an Enforcer the other day." Third panel: Vander starts walking towards Silco, while his coworker looks at him surprised, cutting short his monologue: "Trust me, lad, stay in your lane, and-". Fourth panel: Vander approaches Silco, smiling at him. He says: "Hi! Silco, right? Can I have one?" Silco looks at him, a little taken aback, and replies "Uh? Ah... sure.". The voice of the older man comments: "... well. I tried to warn him." Fifth panel: Their fingers brush as Vander takes a flier. Silco says: "We meet up twice a week, uh..." to which Vander introduces himself simply saying "Vander". The flier shows the words "OUR ZAUN DESERVES RESPECT. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS UNDER PILTOVER'S REGIME". The older man comments: "Eh- it will probably be fine."

B&W illustration. A whisp of smoke shows moments of Vander and Silco's shared life and history. Them looking at each other, Felicia dancing, Silco throwing the granade, Vander attacking Silco in the Pilt, older Vander and older Silco back to back, Silco's scar visible, Vi and Jinx's silhouettes as they fight, and finally Vander and Silco happily together again in the AU. The man's voice leaves a final comment: "After all... what's the worst that could happen?"

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild.

You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)!

“Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.

AARD @obviouslyaard.bsky.social · Sep 14

start using "fanworks" again instead of "content" let's go people

what a good time for a married #zaundads photo set :)
#vanco

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.

Because when pregnancy is the ultimate way to forcibly detransition someone - physically and societally - by forcing them into motherhood and the maternal

People choosing pregnancy on their own terms threatens the value of that as a tactic, and waters down its impact as a ruination of autonomy

One of the fucked up things about the intersection of misogyny & the ingrained societal hatred of transmasculinity is how much cis society like. Demands perceived sexual availability or desirability from the transmasculine or gender nonconforming

"Ugliness" is punished and insulted and undercut

Illustration with characters from the show Arcane, from episode 7, season 2.
Vander and Silco are dancing behind a curtain on the back of the bar. Ther3 are wooden boxes and barrels. They are holding hands, Silco is laughing and leaning back while Vander kisses his cheek and scar, and he's holding the curtain up a little, showing the party in the background. Powder and Ekko are happily dancing to the music in the party, surrounded my pink and blue lights.

SNAP is about more than being mechanically able to eat — it’s about agency. not being able to do basic and necessary things for ourselves takes a huge mental toll on disabled, poor, and unemployed people. letting these resources and protections be political collateral strips us of dignity.

LRP i’m lucky at the moment that i have friends who can realistically financially support me right now so i can still eat. but everyone on SNAP has been just hoping and praying this is temporary. i can’t live off of friends generosity forever, nor do i want to.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason.

It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.

Can we start saying "a person's reality shapes how fiction affects them"? Everyone responds to the same media differently and it is not a universal experience. MANY things influence how a person reacts to & interprets media such as how they're raised, mental health, education, religion, & culture.🧵

Aronson, Elliot, Timothy D. Wilson, Robin M. Akert, and Samuel R. Sommers. 2018. Social Psychology, global ed., 9th ed. London: Pearson Education.

The usual assumption has been that watching violence makes people more aggressive, but aggressive people are also drawn to watching violence. Moreover, another entirely independent factor may be causing both. Some children are born with a mental or emotional predisposition toward violence; or learn it as toddlers from the way they are treated by abusive parents or siblings; or in other ways develop aggressiveness as a personality trait. In turn, this trait or predisposition manifests itself in both their aggressive behavior and their liking for watching violence or playing aggressive games (Bushman, 1995; Ferguson, 2013).

In an experiment investigating the interaction between temperament and exposure to violence, children watched either a film depicting a great deal of police violence or an exciting but nonviolent film about bike racing. They then played a game of floor hockey. Watching the violent film did increase the number of aggressive acts the children committed during the hockey game- but primarily by those who had previously been rated as highly aggressive by their teachers. These kids hit others with their sticks, threw elbows, and yelled aggressive things at their opponents to a much greater extent than did either the kids rated as nonaggressive who had also watched the violent films or the kids rated as aggressive who had watched the nonviolent film (Josephson, 1987).

Likewise, a few longitudinal studies have shown that exposure to violence in media or video games has the strongest relationship in children who are already predisposed to violence (Anderson & Dill, 2000). Thus, it may be that watching media violence merely server to give them permission to express their aggressive inclinations (Ferguson & Kilburn, 2009). The same conclusi

A 3 panel meme featuring The Simpsons, in which Lisa wheels in a Bart who appears to be in pain. Lisa exclaims, "Mom, Dad, Over 11k Words Written In Fortnite" to their surprise, as they sit up screaming. In the final panel, Bart sits upright as well and says, "That's right! two weeks / A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks)."
