the swamp witch 🐊 (character belongs to impish_goblin)

A digital drawing depicting a green-skinned female character, submerged partially in murky swamp water. She is leaning against a mangrove tree stump and surrounded by plant matter, her long hair trailing in the water. Her large lily-pad hat drops to the side, a moth perched on top of it, while the character gingerly pets the snout of a yellow alligator. Dragonflies buzz around her and a blue frog is perched on her other hand.

Gwen Snyder is uncivil

@gwensnyder.bsky.social

I will say gently: every famous counter sit-in from the Civil Rights era was a crime.

Nonviolent civil disobedience is quite literally and explicitly a strategy where you commit crimes.

Moderately Broken Jerk @moderatejerk.bsky.social · 5h

I'm sorry, I'm lol'ing hard at "crime he disapproves of." As if some crimes are perfectly fine and okay.

Yeah, go ahead and set the city on fire. Just like Trump and Steven Miller want to see happen. Play right into their hands!

This is so stupid.

@birdpuss.bsky.social

i’m trying to become an artist on vgen as another way to offer commissions, since it has some neat customizable options and also allows nsfw!

this post needs 20 reposts + 100 likes in order for me to get a #VGenCode, or if anyone has a spare code i’d happily accept it 🙏

vgen.co/napofagalaxy

Digital art of Blitz as a late night radio host and Stolas lying in bed listening to his show with a tired smile. It’s split in half diagonally with Stolas in the top left corner and Blitz in the bottom right corner. Stolas’ side is heavily blues and purples, while Blitz has brighter yellows, oranges, and reds on his side. Blitz has his legs on his desk with an iced coffee and small standing mic there too as he gestures dramatically while speaking, with a neon “ON AIR” sign above him.

Digital art of Stolas and Emberlynn sitting at a cafe table together, viewed through a large window. They’re happily chatting and have snacks and drinks out, as well as writing materials (Stolas has a notebook, Emberlynn has a laptop and some extra notes). The cafe is located in Pride but inspired by the Sloth ring, so there are lots of pinks and purples, as well as Slothian plants.

Behind Stolas and Emberlynn, seen through a glass door to the establishment, is Blitz. He’s pressed against the glass, baffled at the sight of them being all friendly and hanging out together.

Digital art of Stolas and Blitz as kids playing knights and princesses. Stolas has a child’s knight costume on, complete with his little crown and a sword made of hell-wood. He’s excitedly bouncing on his talons and reaching the sword up to Blitz, who is up in the tree (specifically their special tree at the palace). Blitz has on a long blonde wig with a flower in it and a poofy pink dress, and he’s mischievously reaching down for the sword. His tail is loosely curled around the branch he’s lying on for balance. The skies and land of the Pride ring can be seen in the background, so the piece as a whole takes on a reddish tone.

Digital art for Eggplosion of a witch Stolas AU I had in mind, which now goes with caitsoprano’s fic “a fire to keep you warm, through the endless winter storm.”

It’s nighttime and Blitz is in the foreground, back mostly to the viewer as he looks down the path he’s standing on. The arm of his cropped jacket has been ripped off, and he’s holding on to his bleeding arm with a cloth tied around it. His tail winds around his leg in uncertainty. At the end of the path, in the middle ground, is Stolas kneeling in the grass planting things in front of his stone cottage. He has on overalls and a purple T-shirt, and he’s using magic to keep a flame going above him for light to see what he’s doing. His sigil is glowing on the cottage porch. Countless trees and an abnormally large moon loom in the background, and there are fireflies all over in the dark.

I know signing art is a personal preference, but if you care at all about people finding you again to sell more or be hired, please do it! So much art on my walls I bought/got as gifts through the years and I wish I could find the artists again but many pieces have no names anywhere.

Dragon Blitz flying over the city, with part of Pride's skyline visible under him and the clouds around him. He has his claws around Stolas and is looking down at him as Stolas screams in fear.

Stolas is holding a slice of cheese out for Dragon Blitz. Blitz brings his snout close to the cheese and stabs it with one of his huge claws. Stolas has already placed other slices of cheese on a slab of rock in front of him, and he has more food in a small basket.

Something to Fill the Hollowness you Covet by HelluvaButt

When imps were first forged by Satan, some were gifted the ability to change their form into something more reminiscent of their creator. Granted immense magical power, they were able to shapeshift into dragons. However, as time wore on, fewer imps were born with enough draconic blood to support such an ability, until they were considered virtually extinct.

Stolas is still a lonely prince of the Ars Goetia, living a monotonous, caged life. His only solace is his daughter, but even she’s started to drift away from him in her teenage years. What he longs for is excitement, adventure, the kind he reads about in his stories. That being said, he doesn’t expect to actually get kidnapped by a fucking dragon.

And not even a good one at that!

*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.

htfcuddles @htfcuddles.mmfcomic.com · 1d

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.
