Made a little thing to introduce Ludwig cause I felt like yapping about my boy okay 🥺

🎨 #art #ocsky

This is Ludwig, he's a rogue assassin.
[Angry threatening exterior] [Internally a soft kitten]
His blood has venomous properties which he uses to coat his daggers. A "blessing" from his god.
Ludwig, holding a knife with his hand bleeding "Hand me the bottle"

If he disobeys or blasphemes his god, his blood turns on him as punishment.
[veins turn black] [losing hp] [this usually happens when he tries to do good...]
He likes to collect and name ALL of his knives.
Ludwig, holding up a stiletto blade: "This one is Whisperhook"

Due to his curse, he has avoided relationships his whole life. But now he has found many who love him. Lets look at his partners...

Azariah [they/them]
Downcast angel
Fighter
Very protective

They are holding Ludwig possessively "Mine."

Mischa [she/her]
Vampire
So extra
Sassy & teases Ludwig a lot.

She is being carried by him "Carry me to bed, Lewdwig"

Koschei [he/him]
Doctor
Wizard
Play argues a lot
Usually ends up like this [doodle of goofy kissing]

Ludwig and Koschei mashing cheeks together.
Koschei: Pchelka, I need you to stop stabbing the enemy
Ludwig: I'm giving you more patients to treat.

Soul to Call will be going on a brief break while I work on the script.

But in the meantime, reminder to my patrons that a preview of this year's tarot card print is now available! www.patreon.com/rommie

No Soul to Call page this week. Between recovering from illness, and a lot of life stuff taking up time and energy I couldn't manage to finish a page. Hopefully things will get back on track next week!

I love my d&d party. So much.

(Memes made by @rommie.bsky.social )

Koschei frowning with a wine glass to his lips
"You want me to come out of my cage AND be doing just fine?? In this economy???"

Azariah
"It's easy to be happy and nice, but the real power move is being miserable and nice. How am I doing? Real shitty dude. Very bad. Can I help you move or anything tho "

Liselotte
"How can I communicate to wild bunnies that I am their ally"

Ludwig
"Im trying to be less of a bitch, in case you idiots didnt notice"

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

ANTI-CENSORSHIP CHEAT SHEET

WHY?
Visa, Mastercard, Stripe & Paypal have been censoring free speech & legal business online for TOO LONG. Most recent targets are Steam & Itch.io, but they have also pressured websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans & MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content their users can host & sell.
If we as consumers & creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the org that lobbied to have Steam & Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa & MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyfans to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging phone lines for an extended period, over a month at least, will almost guarantee that these companies will have to pay attention to the backlash.

this list is not exhaustive, but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

VISA:
(US + Can): +1 800-847-2911
US selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

MASTERCARD:
(US): +1 800-307-7309
US selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
(Outside US): 1-636-722-7111

STRIPE:
(HQ): +1 888 963-8955
(France): +33 805-11-19-67
Email: complaints@stripe.com

PAYPAL:
(US): +1 888 221-1161
(outside US): 1-402-935-2050
Customer Service: +1 877-569-1116

TRY TO HIT ALL 4 TARGETS PER DAY
This is only going to have an effect if as many people possible call EVERY DAY for as long as possible.

THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A RACE.
If you can, it is also a good idea to try to spread the word to organizations & groups that can either actively combat these huge companies legally, or can spread news, in a manner supportive of this movement, more effectively than your average person

examples of organizations:
ACLU
Canadian Civil Liberties Association local legislators & government representatives

examples of spreading the news:
local newspapers
special interest publications
video game streamers

Super trustworthy.

A portrait of an older white gentleman staring directly at the viewer with a stern, domineering expression. He has a cleanly shaved head, sharp blue eyes, round glasses, and strong cheekbones. He's wearing a black pinstripe suit, white button up shirt, and a tie with red, gold, and blue stripes. There's a wedding ring on his finger.

A portrait of an older white gentleman staring at the viewer with soft hazel eyes and a stoic expression. His short blonde hair is neatly slicked back, there's a small scar on his right eyebrow, and he has a thin, well-kept moustache. He's wearing a black suit jacket, white button up shirt, and dark blue tie.

A portrait of an older white gentleman peering sidelong towards the viewer. His left eye is covered by a bejewelled eyepatch featuring a large emerald framed in blue and pink rhinestones. He has long grey hair that falls past his shoulders, a handlebar moustache, and a long, thick beard decorated in golden tube beads.
He wears a large glittering blue bow tie, a white button up, and a dark purple vest with a Damask pattern. Affixed to his lapel is a golden brooch fitted with a large emerald.

Eyyy, let's yeet Mastercard and other payment processors from policing what content you're willing to pay for. This isn't just about sex work either- but targeting sex work is always a shitty step forward to censorship.

action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Good morning to another day republicans in office are desperate to take healthcare and food away from 17 million people so they can build camps and give tax cuts to the obscenely wealthy. Call your senators and ask them to oppose this big ass murderous bill asap (HR 1). Find your rep: reps.fyi
