Yesterday I received the final result of my commission of my PC Devahna (right) and their partner, Dagon (left, @tanfighter.bsky.social's NPC) and AAA 🥺 The details are so good, down to Devahna not making direct eye contact (they're autistic). Thank you @karaverna.bsky.social!! I love it ❤️

Devahna is a femme presenting plus-size half-orc with light green skin and long curly white hair, copper eyes and freckles, wearing a red and blue long sleeved top. Dagon is a male fallen aasimar with dark grey skin, white hair reaching to his jaw, a slight stubbled goatee and piercing gold eyes, wearing a breastplate and a thick leather jacket.

Devahna and Dagon rest their foreheads against each other, Dagon's eyes fixated on Devahna, his lips slightly parted. Devahna's gaze doesn't quite meet Dagon's, but they're comfortable being in his space. Behind them is a looming smoke-filled sky from the city that is on fire near them, and it casts a red glow over them. They know a dangerous battle lies ahead, so they want to take a moment to be close.

Yesterday I was informed that Google’s AI uses the wrong pronouns for me. My email signature lists my pronouns but it just saw my name and made an assumption. Also, it went through the pdf file I sent, as it (wrongly) listed the deadline for signing in the summary. I hate AI so much y’all 🫠

A bit of trans joy for today 🥺💖🏳️‍⚧️ First time seeing myself wear something tight post top surgery

A mirror selfie where I’m wearing a light blue tank top. My hair is wet from showering and I hold my hand up to my mouth in disbelief, tears in my eyes.

Same mirror selfie, but now my hand is on my cheek and there’s a smile on my face, tears in my eyes still. I’m very happy!

Honestly this is just me whenever I want to make anything. I always have to remind myself that for every second I doubt myself, there is a man out there with too big of an ego making mediocre things and acting like he’s a genius. Always make the thing!! (And also your videos are great <3)

Screenshot of Markus’s post but I have crossed bits out so now it just says “If you ever think I want to make videos but I don’t think I’m good enough, just remember that the current scene is a lot of dudes”

Wore this to a concert recently! The pride aspect is that this will be one of the last selfies of mine before my top surgery next month 👀 I’m looking forward to recreate this afterwards

I’m a white nonbinary person with a half blonde half brown mullet, wearing a green crop top with a mesh top underneath, blue jeans with a pentagram belt, and black sleeves that stop just past my elbows. I have tattooed lines on my left arm and am posing by showing off my muscles

I commissioned my friend Joep (who has no socials) to draw my PC Devahna after getting inspired by this Undertale style “then vs now” post. He did such a wonderful job but also 😭😭 my poor baby. They’re truly going through it. Genuinely my most tragic character.

Artwork of a plus-size feminine presenting half-orc with green skin and long wavy white hair. They wear a simple blue blouse and a half-sun necklace. They have copper eyes and freckles and look into a mirror with a calm expression.

Underneath that, there’s a dialogue box from Undertale that reads “It’s you!”

The same half-orc but this time they wear armour and a wine red long sleeved shirt underneath. They have a black eyepatch and there are dark circles under their other eye. Their expression is tired and worn down. The position in the mirror is the same, but the mirror’s background is now dark red.

Underneath that, there’s an Undertale dialog box that says “Despite everything, it’s still you.”

Last year I wrote a poem. Yesterday I made some art for it. I couldn’t pick between black or white but I think they both look cool 👀

A black background with white text and a very simple scratchy drawing of a dog head with sharp teeth. The text reads: the hounds do not answer.
They only smell blood.

HOUNDS.
i was born with my heart in my hands. that is no way to live, the doctors said, so they stitched it onto my chest. when it pumps, blood trickles down my arm and it alerts the hounds. they bark don't bite but their barks bite still. i wear it on my sleeve, i fear. the cologne they like. i walk the earth with my heart exposed and yet i am called weak. i feel and feel and my tears taste of metal and salt but it does not shape into armour. why am i not brave? i wear no breastplate, do you not see the wounds i healed from? is that not strength, to be hurt but trust that love will fix you? how will radiance reach my beating heart if it is kept in the dark of my ribcage?

the hounds do not answer. they only smell blood.

I love it when friends show me a piece of media that they love, and recently @tanfighter.bsky.social offered to show me all of LOTR in one sitting (since I hadn’t seen all of them yet). Yesterday that day had arrived and I had a blast. Thank you Tan for your enthusiasm and trivia <3

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and April 2nd is Autism Acceptance Day. So I wanted to post something personal. I was 10 when I first held a presentation about autism, and over time autism education became something very important to me. This thread makes an attempt at explaining why. (1/4)

Start of an informative slide with text. All of them have an analog photo with a plant and a sun flare as a background, on top of which is a light green square. Here the heading reads “Autism Acceptance Day/Month”, and the subheading reads “and why I talk about my autism so much”. There’s a photo of me as a 4 year old child, where I have long blonde hair, a blue sweater and am looking at the camera with my mouth slightly open.

Heading: When I was five I got diagnosed with autism.
Body text: And I have been talking about it ever since. Not because I think it's particularly interesting, but because from a very young age I understood that people had the wrong idea about what it means to be autistic.

And so I took it upon myself to do something about that.

Heading: "but why do you care what others think?"
Body text: Because misconceptions about autism harms autistic people. It prevents us from getting the help we need, from people spotting when a child is autistic (causing late diagnosis), and from people taking us seriously.

I care because I have both seen and felt the damage misconceptions do.

Heading: Things that have been said to me
Body text: “You don't look autistic” - what does this even mean? What does autism look like to you?

“You're so social for an autistic person!” - why do you think I can't be?

“You live independently? That's impressive!” - why is it impressive?

One way I try and increase trans visibility in the TTRPG space is by making different kind of trans/nonbinary characters. #TDOV Recent examples are: 1. Lowen (he/they) - intersex + nonbinary 2. Devahna (they/she) - demigender 3. Kiki (she/they/any) - genderfluid 4. Cyanna (she/they) - transfeminine

Lowen is a masculine presenting blue skinned hellspawn with long white hair, horns that curl backwards, pointed ears, black eyes, several piercings, and scales on the back of their arms. They wear a white button up with black suspenders.

Devahna is a femme presenting half-orc with light green skin, long wavy white hair, golden eyes, freckles, pointed ears, and tusks coming through a soft smile. They wear a simple blue top.

Kiki is a changeling with white skin and a green bob. They wear very colourful patchwork clothes and have a jester aesthetic going on. In one hand she's casting a spell while the other makes a peace sign near her face.

Cyanna is a femme presenting lizardfolk with blue-green scales and pastel pink and green attire. She has specks of white across her face and arms and holds a few cards.

Happy trans day of visibility! Trans people across the world are getting their rights and freedom taken away. I hope that we can count on allies to join us in the fight for our right to exist, because we’re fucking exhausted. For me being visible is an act of resistance. So here I am, visible.

I’m a white nonbinary person with a half blonde half brown mullet and large square glasses. I’m wearing a light purple button up with dark green trousers and a purple, pink and green floral waistcoat.

Yesterday’s session was very emotional and chaotic in different ways but the thing I still cannot get over is this. Imagine seeing your mother again for the first time in 16 years and THIS is how your boyfriend introduces himself to her 😂 @tanfighter.bsky.social @pantslesstables.bsky.social

I ended up listening to twenty one pilots last night and suddenly got an idea for an art piece, so I immediately started making it. Within an hour this was the result. It’s a reminder how my issues are permanent but the lows are not. There will be highs too. I just gotta wait for it to get better.

A piece of paper with a lot black streaks rising up from the bottom, covering about half of the paper. The other half is stained black or otherwise grey because of black smudges. At the bottom there’s a bit of red magazine paper, also stained black. Across the paper there’s the same sentence over and over again in red: “it never goes away”, but in between those red lines of text there are two different sentences in white: “it always gets worse” and “it always gets better”

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Anna Everts, a freelance writer and sensitivity reader. I mainly write comics and TTRPG content, and have done so for names like Mad Cave Studios and Modiphius, among many others. You can find more info (full portfolio, testimonials etc) on my website: peculiarplanets.com

Page from Tales from Nottingham #2.
Panel 1: Gisborne asks the hunting party he's with why they've stopped. "What's the matter?" he asks. "See for yourself" a man says.
Panel 2: A bleeding and dismembered deer.
Panel 3: The Sheriff says "Looks like the work of a poacher." Gisborne: "A poacher?" Sheriff: "Unless one of your friends here got ahead of themselves last night"
Panel 4: Gisborne: "You mean to say it's recent?" Sheriff: "Looks it. It's not decomposing yet."
Panel 5: Sheriff to his Gisborne and his men: "Does anyone know anything about this?" Gisborne: "They were all out with me for a drink last night. I would have known if someone was unaccounted for."
Panel 6: The Sheriff looks serious. "Then you have a poacher" he says.

The alt text is too long. If you wish to receive the full text please contact me. For now I'll simply include the intro of the page.

Monk subclass: way of the gravedigger.
Graveyards are meant to be a final resting place, but all
too often, undead blaspheme against the natural order. As
a Gravedigger, you are devoted to keeping the dead in the
ground where they belong. You have learned to master the
elements of earth and spirit and bend them to your will. You
are motivated by your connection to death and undeath.
Perhaps you worked as a graveyard keeper, witnessed a
loved one become undead, or put people into an early
grave by your own hands, something you wish to atone for.
Whatever the reason may be, you believe necromancy is a
vile kind of magic that disrupts the peace of the departed,
and have spent years of your life learning how to fight back
against it.

Wrote this yesterday about how sometimes I feel sad after having hung out with people.

The emptiness that comes from having felt whole.

It is laughter in a jar kept on a wonky shelf that acts as a counterweight. It is the silence that seeps from the divot on your sofa after the walls cradled a dozen voices, loved. It is the glass with mouth marks and one final sip that sits on your kitchen counter for the next three days.

You don’t have a dishwasher, and no one to do the dishes with.

The loss of light as your laptop closes. The lack of padded pressure around the ears. The pain in your cheeks but without the smile that soothes it.

After having felt whole I become the dog that bites its own tail until it bleeds. The choir that ignores the conductor.

The world becomes small and loud and I find myself drowning in it without a hand to hold.

I think I feel sad when love leaves the room because I do not know how to generate it for myself.

I am a hearth left with nothing but embers after stories told and drinks finished. Everyone has gone to sleep. There is no more wood providing me with warmth. This is the emptiness that comes from having felt whole.

Took these yesterday night. I was trying to capture the thunderstorm but instead my attention got drawn to the reflection of my living room in the window (first photo). After that, I turned my camera inwards to capture more.

reflection of my living room in a window. It mixes the red LED lights I have lined along my ceiling, the furniture and plants with the dark blue sky and clouds outside. It has neon vibes

Inside my living room. The lights along my ceiling are red/pinkish. You can see different pieces of furniture such as a bookcase and a desk chair, as well as many different plants and things on the wall. In the back, my curtains are still open and it's dark outside. It's got neon vibes

A close up of the LED lights, with in the foreground one of my plants that hangs from the ceiling. In the back are also plants.

Love having a ttrpg character that started out as “would self-sacrifice to save their loved ones at any moment” but then did a 180 into “would take any deal if it kept them alive so they can protect their loved ones” (and they have made many). Reminded me of this scene by @naethanapollo.com

Scene 7: I hope I die alone
By Naethan Apollo

You know
Recently, I've realized that I'm okay with dying alone
I mean, in our line of work
Death is always kind of looming over our shoulders
But, it's just that I have so many people I care about
And that care about me
And none of them deserve to die alone, you know?
Dying alone sounds terrifying, horrible
I-I can't even imagine fading away without
Even having a hand to hold
So, I'll be there for them, for my friends, always
I will keep on living, and living, and living
Until I'm the last one left
As a matter of fact, I want nothing more
Than for the seats of my funeral to be empty
And then eventually, I'll die myself
Alone, sure, but content
Knowing that I was there for my friends to the bitter end
And I think that's called love!
Or some messed up version of it
I truly do, I think that's called love
So yeah, I hope I die alone
Not because I think I deserve to suffer
Due to some hatred for myself
No, no, that's not it
It's more like, a burden I choose to bear
Due to my love for others
If that makes any sense
I don't know

Lunch, language lesson, and Lowen lore. I loved writing a nursery rhyme for this, based on input given by @in-the-pan.bsky.social (something something farming). Also love putting two characters that don’t know how to hold a normal conversation to save their lives together. All in all, good fun ❤️

Little Ashka
Little Ashka plants two seeds
One a flower, one a weed
One in dark, one in light
One with care, one with might

Little Ashka then plants some more
A field of crops to feed the poor
A field that thrives in bright of day
And rests at night in calming shade

Little Ashka learns how to farm
And learns that dawn does her no harm
