Wanted to note: I don’t typically respond to PMs on here as I am still figuring out what this site’s version of bot accounts look and act like and over 80% of the messages I have received here become a deactivated account within days.

Kisses for the cutest girl in the woooorld
A colored sketch of my bg3 Tav, Nimue, lovingly kissing Karlach’s neck all over while playing with her hair too. Karlach is all giggly, blushing, and her engine is burning blue. She has purple lipstick marks from her girlfriend’s lips.

Happy #WebcomicDay ✨
We make Novae (16+):
When an ageless necromancer meets a bedazzling astronomer, romance sparks like a nascent star. But when the astronomer falls victim to a vengeful sorcerer’s blood drenched plot, they must defy death itself to keep their love ablaze.

"My Beloved, would you lie with me under the stars while I make love to you?" 🗡️🌿

Did you know I'm normal about them? #dndoc #ocsky #greyloved #castirondnd
A couple piece of the swashbuckling rogue Grey O'Hare holding and kissing a green tiefling warlock, Beloved. There is a strange blue branch with eyes on the leaves crossing over Grey's head and a Green plant at the bottom right near Beloved. A maroon frame with gold/brass coloured pattern framing the top and bottom of the piece. In the background a strange, teal coloured bush and a waterfall. They're gay your honor.

Aferah, for a personal project, 2017
Aferah, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a woman in profile standing on a desert. Framing her head is a gold sun like a halo, and her long dark hair becomes the night sky behind her, with two pale moons among the stars. On one hand she holds a 4 leaf clover and on another a gold cup tilted down, a gold river pouring from it.

Witchy Yard Sale 🧹🧙🍂 #art
A digital illustration featuring a witch themed yard sale. A granny witch (on the left) shows a crystal ball to young witch customer. We see a few small dragons scattered around the painting. Two small dragons in the foreground are helping out with chores. Two small dragons resting beside each witch stare at each other curiously. We see witchy items: potions and candles with price tags on tables.

⋅⋆ The secret they are bound to keep ⋆⋅ #DLG #ocs

Check out the awesome zine!
#oohchiczine 💙 oohchiczine.com
A vertical drawing by Nittroy of their OC. It depicts a scene in which a tall, androgynous person is stepping down from a high point on a ladder. They are Kayleigh (any pronouns), and they are wearing a long blue skirt that flutters backwards in the wind. They are also wearing a cropped jacket with long pieces hanging down their back that look like transparent wings. She looks askance right into the camera. She is holding a cigarette that is emitting blue smoke. At the bottom of the ladder is a small stairwell with a door. The door is slightly open and bit of a space behind it is visible, glowing blue. Blue flower veins spread across the floor as if there is not enough space in the room and the flower mass is ever-growing, coming outside with even a slight opening. In front of a door, as if guarding it, a masculine person stands; his name is Benji (he/they) and he is inhornian (marble horned person) with pale white-blue skin and hair. He is looking at Kayleigh, his light eyes showing some sort of distrust and yearning.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.
