Angry sad forest fae creature

Knight’s Pledge, by Magali Villeneuve

I always really love seeing actually armored lady designs in Magic: The Gathering because their artists are often very good at what they do, so you get awesome things like this. What caught my eye with this one (after the composition and colors, like damn) is the interesting shapes and layering in the armor. All the little details, like the clasps and buttons holding everything in place adds a lot of realism that no amount of technique can make up for (as seen in Applibot games). I also just like turtlenecks.

We’ve featured the artist on the blog before, so check out their MtG portfolio, you will not be disappointed.

This is over 150 employees at Riot Games doing a walkout to protest forced Arbitrations. This is the first walkout to ever occur in the video game industry.

 You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.

netflix just released the film ‘ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga’ which is an indian movie about a girl who’s into girls and how she gets the courage to come out and face her family and be with the woman she loves. sound familiar? yeah, i know it’s the basic plot of most hollywood lgbtq movies but that’s not the point. 

this is literally the first indian movie i’ve seen on a famous platform, accessible by anyone, that actually represents the lgbtq community in all its beauty and love and affection, rather that scorning or mocking it. 

the movie is beautiful and the scenes and the fluff and the cute couple and the emotions just make it so worth watching, and that’s not all.

i’m an indian bisexual teenager and i would’ve been so happy to have been exposed to a movie like this when i was younger. if i had seen this kind of portrayal in the film industry, i doubt that i would’ve been the afraid young girl i was and i would’ve had the courage to do what the main characters did and just BE MYSELF. 

all i hope is that someone sees this movie, some little girl out there sees it and knows that she is not alone, that she is not abnormal. with a topic such as this, which has been treated as taboo for decades now in my country (still is kinda), when it is actually being represented and being represented well, i can’t help but wanna scream about it from the rooftops. 

also just look at this adorableness:
