As mentioned before, I'll probably be less active on socials for a bit to lock in and do other activities to help avoid/alleviate burn out

Truly, thank you so much for the support during this year especially. As well as for being patient with my long turn around times! It means so much <3

I've been making my way through the waist-ups and am hoping to have those cleared up in the next couple months.

I'll also probably be taking a break from my socials to lock into work and focus on other things for a bit, so another reason I want to get the slots filled up before that ♥️

But we can't have those discussions and explorations if moderation bans the subject it's entirety in online social spaces, can we?

But then of course, acknowledging that means acknowledging the need for discussion, passing judgement on a case by case basis and not allowing a blanket judgement and dictated morality of the subject to decide its right to exist. It means taking responsibility for your opinions, comfort and stances.

I very much believe that "fiction can be the ultimate safe space" and "fiction does have the potential to cause harm" are not mutually exclusive subjects. But as pointed out in the video above, harm often comes from intention, or lack thereof, and not the subject itself.

I'm ready to draw some tits for you~

I will open up around 5 slots either tonight or tomorrow? I'm still working out the write up but if people like them I will be very happy to offer more in the future!

I will also be replacing the illustration comm slots with a new comm type. The illustrations don’t seem to be in demand rn and I’m going to be accepting requests for Art Nouveau Pin-Up style pieces instead, since I really love drawing those!

I’m going to be easing back into work again now (though I will be trying to not over extend myself) and wanted to thank everyone for their patience!
For folks who submitted a character sheet request, I have seen them and you’re all in the queue and I’ll reach out once I get through my current batch!

thank you so much! ;v;

Thank you!!
you know I have to go all in on the sleeves~

thank you so much! <3

I also had to fight myself tooth and nail to not do ANOTHER red and green color comp (my weakness) and wrestled myself into doing blue and yellow

the inspiration behind my piece was the stories of court jesters being used for espionage, being the eyes and ears of their lord and the how they often played roles in the political space of the court (though clearly my jester here takes a more hands on approach)
