Hello! If you are new to my bluesky or fanfiction, please read this first! Pulled from my tumblr. #lobarev #revloba
Screenshot of the following text: Read First Hello, I'm Mech (they/them) and the_mechanica on Ao3. I primarily write fanfic for Apex Legends. image [image ID: a black and red striped caution banner that reads: Adult Content Ahead Warning!! 18+] This is mostly a fandom blog dedicated to Loba Andrade’s perspective of her dynamic with Revenant, which I have shorthanded to ‘shipping’. Please note, I am a trauma survivor whose first boyfriend stalked them for several years. I am also a trained intimacy coordinator, feminist horror filmmaker, and former sex and kink educator, and former swer. Although I ship LobaLore, LobaCat, CatRev and Revhound, I also ship LobaRev/RevLoba for catharsis reasons. I beg you to leave me be about it. All ships will be clearly tagged. Please make sure to check your filters in case you should like to avoid one. Please feel free to block me if that makes you more comfortable.

It's not just horny pics you're gonna lose if these bills pass-it's our community, our safe spaces, our right to express ourselves, our right to privacy, list goes on and on...

That's literally the ultimate goal of a porn crackdown-take the Queer community down with it.

Call your reps-Seriously.

One of the problem with the sentiments of going underground is like, yeah some people might but most people wont. Most of the people you follow online who create the NSFW content you enjoy, be it drawing or writing or photography, are barely getting by as it is if they do it full time.

"porn's going back underground"
"we're going back to cash"
"we're going to crypto"
"we're gonna mail print only"

how about instead of saying funny shit online you call your reps and speak up for us so we don't have to do this

You know what I like? Artists who post WIPs, rough sketches, REAL timelapses... I think that's what sets us apart from AI lately, which only knows how to post finished drawings, several a month
It's so artificial, so empty
I like to see real art unfinished, very raw. That makes everything more human

A screenshot that says "Stop Running Transphobic Ads On Trans People's Channels I'm a trans person, and I keep getting ads on MY channel promoting giving money to someone who despises my existance. Someone using her vast amount of wealth, influence, and power to make us trans people feel unsafe just being alive, and insulting/lying about us online to stir the pot and create a toxic and violent environment for us to exist. I do not want these ads being shown to MY audience that was built on MY content. This platform promotes wanting diversity and inclusion, yet we keep getting ads like this shown on our accounts without our consent. Give us the freedom to chose what ads can play on our accounts to prevent this type of thing from happening. Thanks."

[nsfw, oc, rybine]

all of the pegging sketches i put together the other day 😇
Sketchpage of the artist's original characters Ryou and Sabine being intimate, with a pegging theme. At the top left, Sabine leans over Ryou to kiss his shoulder with one hand on his hip while inside of him. Both of their shirts are pulled up to expose their torsos/chests. At the top right, Ryou is on his hands and knees, his long hair loose and pooling on the sheets beneath him, while Sabine pegs him from behind. Her eyes are closed and she hums as she brushes his hair back from his neck with one hand and strokes his cock with the other. At the bottom left, Ryou sucks on the strap-on Sabine is wearing while she pushes his hair back from his face and holds it for him. At the bottom right, Ryou leans forward with his hands on a surface for support as Sabine, wearing only a lace bra, pegs him from behind. She has one hand on her hip while the other holds his hip for support. Little hearts are drawn around the page. Closeup of the top left image from the sketchpage. Closeup of the bottom right image from the sketchpage. Closeup of the top right image from the sketchpage.

A pinup illustration of a peppermint themed demoness. She is kneeling with her hand on her thigh facing partially away from the viewer. Glancing over a shoulder at us with a peppermint stick between her lips, she is holding a peppermint cane staff in her far hand. 🎨✨

To my friends from LiveJournal I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom? I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him. I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been I hope you got your houseboat. I hope you got everything. -Hayley DeRoche

FREELANCER TIP: THE 25% RULE!

The MOMENT payment hits your bank account, calculate 25% of the value of the invoice and then transfer that amount immediately to a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT. THAT'S FOR TAXES. Then pay yourself the remaining 75%. Account for this when determining rates!!!

love living under a hays code/comics code authority except it's in some ways worse, because it's not actually codified anywhere and it's enforced opaquely on purpose to avoid accountability at every stage

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

This is an older article I still link to all the time because it continues to be so relevant. electricliterature.com/taylor-swift...
Screenshot: "The bottom line is that artists’ rights are workers’ rights. You are not being progressive or radical by denying artists the right to control their own work. You are not helping the underprivileged by making it impossible for anyone who isn’t already rich and privileged to take up artistic careers. Your pirated Taylor Swift song isn’t feeding the poor. If you want to fight the power, maybe try hacking JP Morgan instead of pirating a vampire romance for your Kindle. In fact, the constant devaluation of art has been a huge boon for large corporations. There is no one happier that it is increasingly acceptable to pay nothing to photographers, artists, writers, and musicians. Doritos would love for you to crowd source their next TV ad and Apple is thrilled you’ll pay more for an iPod because you know you can steal the music you’ll listen to on it."

Estoy practicando con el pixel art para hacer un sprite para las batallas de mi juego. Siento que me sale más fácil de animar para el RPG Maker que un dibujo normal. Veré si muestro la versión animada cuando lo termine 👌

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

A pixelart showing an elk in the dark forest. The elk stands on the edge of a lake, illuminated by light fighting its way through the trees above. The water in the lake is still, it reflects like a mirror the image of the elk. Trees in the background are dark, barely illuminated.
