Uses my power as a writer of historical fantasy to give a better (gayer) ending to a female character who got done dirty in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

I kind of miss playing Genshin but I was so ambivalent/negative about 80% of Natlan content that I dropped off this spring and at this point I just get an occasional itch to experience the combat system again

For months and months I've been trying to get away from my 'light, soft' paintings, then I tried out new paper and was just like, "Ok soft away". I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! The Alolan Vulpix is my favourite pokemon.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Stared contemplatively at an ant crawling on the floor reckoning with my initial instinct to squish it (I am trying to be kinder to most creatures) and my dog just walked over and licked it up. Yum yum

This is the future I want for all of you.

A frame from the manga may I ask for one more thing where the lead heroine is smiling wistfully while thinking the words "I'm so glad I beat them all up."

when I was a kid I rewatched Jackie Chan's Drunken Master soooo many times and I was always thinking about how hot a woman would look doing all that. btw she's also a traveling herbalist/doctor who beats up men and fucks their wives

payment processors are terrified of her

image transcription: They went inside. In the thick of the crowd, the tiger’s nose could barely pick out Zhang Chenghua’s scent, but there was no longer any need—she heard her sister calling out taunts from the balcony on the upper level, like she was squaring off with someone.
A terrible crash sent a splintered section of the wooden railing flying. Zhang Suming spun and caught Li Zanghong around the shoulders with her outstretched arm, sweeping her away just before the railing landed on the floor. Together, they looked up.
Some patrons had fled downstairs, but many of them stayed behind for the fun of it. They left a clear space in the center where two people swirled in a maelstrom of fists and fluttering robes. The man had a very blunt, practiced manner to his form and movement. Although he wasn’t wholly without talent, Li Zanghong suspected he was a rote learner. That made him no match for Zhang Chenghua. True drunken boxers were rare. The gimmick alone might be enough to throw off a beginner, but anyone else could handily beat down a drunkard once they adapted to the situation—unless that drunkard was actually good.
With her light step and dainty twirls, Zhang Chenghua made it all look so easy. Her effortless grace was apparent even with the plain robes hiding her figure, her erratic swaying and heavy blows, the cumbersome wooden chest that was slung on her back with thick leather straps. She paused to take sips from her wine gourd every so often, just to taunt her opponent—for despite his great exertions, she was steadily getting drunker and didn’t even need both hands to keep him at bay. Li Zanghong was positive that Zhang Chenghua could defeat him with just her legs if she wanted to. The saber on her belt might as well have been mere decoration.

ty comrade. idk it seems telling that racist cishet fairysmut (tradpub romantasy) can be sold easily and prominently advertised in physical AND virtual storefronts but I'm out here trying to figure out if The Same Thing, But Lesbian And Not Racist is going to kill my itch.io account

I'm so confused by what's going on with itch.io indexing and at this point I've begun to fear that I've permanently "tainted" my account bc I didn't use the correct magic combo of tags and payment settings and none of my projects will ever be indexed

palestinian lesbians once again ✨
{ #art #pride }

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom.

The woman to the right is wearing a heavy coin headdress that has chains leading down to her waist. Her face has subtle tattoos that match those on her hand.

In the arched window behind them there are palm trees in the distance and foliage that coveres the bottom of the window.
