Want to support the creation of a radical leftist cartoon? Check out thecrystalcityfalls.carrd.co

Elevator pitch for normies: Two elves are drawn into a deadly conspiracy that could unravel the ancient secret behind their very immortality.

Elevator pitch for leftists: it is anarchist propaganda.🤷

Splash image in format of characters/character heads mashed together in a big composition. Protagonist Liirem is on the left, a tall elf with long hair wearing blue halos about his head and neck. To his right are the flamecasters Mia (holding a fireball) and Rhem (holding a flaming spear) with their friend Rieni doing a backflip over their heads, and their leader Araan looking over their shoulder on the far right. Behind Liirem stand a number of indistinct figures representing Omera and Mikel (bloodcasters like Liirem), the orc Serak, and the elder Vesiin. Larger above them is Draagrin--two elves (Dravem and Gria) who operate as a single "harmonic" entity, and three waterfolk: Ssvyra raising a fist, Viys holding a book, and Rhysaar, who has a long fishy mermaid tail.

Lineup of introductory designs. Left to right: Omera (not introduced until the second episode), Araan, Rieni, Rhem, Mia, and finally Liirem, who is at least a head taller than everyone else.

Digitally-revised storyboard panel. Liirem stands behind Rhem and Mia as they watch Draagrin take the stage to speak. Araan glances at them from the foreground. All around them, the crowd of elves chants "Draagrin", holds signs, and waves flags.

Liirem stands in the open door of a train looking breathless and panicked. "I think that was blood magic!" he shouts into the train.

"We are all anti-fascists!"

Drawing on the classic Italian chant, “Siamo tutti antifascisti,” this poster pushes back against the regime's efforts at intimidation and propaganda.

crimethinc.com/posters/we-a...

Please print these out and display them around your community!

A poster design reading:

We Are All Anti-Fascists!

Together against all forms of oppressive power. They will not intimidate us.

Remember, if you can read these words, there are others putting themselves out there at least as much as you are. That means you are not alone, and the struggle is not hopeless.

The deadly mermaid is here! She is a little bored today, no one new to meet and greet in the sea and invite down to the depths with her💀

An illustration of a mermaid laying on her side with her back to us. She has pale hair and a red tail with dark pink skin. Her fins are translucent and can be seen to be so as they curl around her back. Around her are bones and skulls of humans. She rests her arm on a skull. The background is a plain light peachy pink

i feel like this story is particularly important right now, because protein-maxxing is *so* in vogue. before working on this, i believed i was woefully protein deficient

it turns out that's just a myth that has been floating around for decades—the average american gets more than enough protein!!

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

The surgery was an attempt at communication, their only understanding being violence after the Geists "death" meant a far less consistent mutation. Gear was slapped together, welded in frantic ways. It took too much blood and hate before everyone forgot who was who and laid down their arms.

Silhouettes of strange men in cobbled together gear, their bodies to long and strange to be normal humans anymore. Three masked faces, one powerful soldier jumping into the trenches. Artwork by @TheComradeVideo on Twitter!

Skinny guy in scrunched up sweatpants slouches along with a long stride, hunched over with his hands in his pockets and hair in his face.

Lady with long curly hair blowing in the wind around her big dark sunglasses

Beardy baldy guy with a weak chin and glasses, probably an art director.

Lady adjusting a crossbody purse worn over a loose cropped t-shirt and high-waisted jeans. She has long hair with bleached tips.

I really like this because you can show the audience the human face first and then only later reveal that it is in fact definitely not a human actually.

LITTLE DEATH is my erotic horror-supernatural romance webcomic about a hot trans guy and a hot necromancer lich.
littledeathcomic.com

Little Death Chapter 3: Glass King, Page 1
This page shows various views of Kolgothoi Keep, the stronghold where the main story takes place.

Little Death Chapter 3: Glass King, Page 2
Ellery and Callisto are walking through the keep. Ellery says “where are you taking me?” Callisto replies “The dungeon. It’s bristling with spiders. Are you still afraid of spiders, little hen?”

Little Death Chapter 3: Glass King, Page 3.
Ellery looks scared but Callisto pats his head in an avuncular gesture. “Oh it was a joke” he says “I’m taking you to the great hall. We have an esteemed guest and I want you to entertain him.”
Ellery considers this for a moment before blushing. “Would you prefer the dungeon?” Callisto asks. “No!” Ellery says.

Unsounded's sequel "The Red Cost" starts on January 5th with a drop of the full 26 page prologue, as an appetizer. Over half-way done with it and having way too much fun with blood and guts and sorcery, my beloveds.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 4d

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...
