Thou Shalt Defy Death 🔥
Website launch!
Comic launching ~Q3-Q4 2025.
www.defydeathcomic.com

#tsdd | #defydeathcomic | #webcomic | #comics
A young woman with short white hair brandishes a greatsword while a young man with long, black hair looks onward. The text reads, “Thou Shalt Defy Death, art & story (by) Sparrowling.” The sigil of the royal household features in the center, featuring six wings, a crown, and a crescent. The text reads, “A World Profaned. The Holy Empire of Daul-Emallám is humanity’s final bastion after war and an apocalyptic calamity. Its people persist only by the blessing of their royal demigods, which promises their loyal subjects perfect health through the royals’ ties to the God of Life. Desperate to move on to a new golden era, the people readily embrace the royal grace without heed to its consequences — until a vengeful survivor of the calamity comes along, destined to become their God of Death and Rebirth.”

Been really on the fence about Pokemon ZA, and I figure I'd decide one way or another but even with the leaks/spoilers, I'm still undecided.

Any mask is better than none and I'm happy anyone makes an attempt. But if you're serious about having better protection and wonder why you're still getting sick while masking, you probably need to upgrade your masks to fit tighter. Especially at larger events with higher covid exposure. Be safe. 😷

Seeing multiple artists lately say they got covid at cons even while masking but then I see photos of most people wearing loose fitting ear-loop masks. For maximum protection you NEED A TIGHT SEAL! Head-loop masks like N95 are best (or at least get ear loop adjusters/mask tape so KN95 fits tighter).

i love to imagine this logic applied to other mitigation tools—trembling at a seatbelt, cowering from a helmet, freezing at the sight of a condom—easy to reveal how laughable a take the idea of masking as an act of fear is.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it

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.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Just found out about the Dynasty Warriors 3 Remaster, and I know they probably won’t do it with the extremely high quality new visuals, but it would be everything if they kept the original bad voice acting.

Dynasty Warriors 3 voice acting is a masterpiece.
