Perfectly imperfect ღ

The running joke of "XYZ is the butchiest a person is allowed to be before Twitter loses it" (and XYZ is a woman with short hair who wears suits at events ((sometimes)) rings true because masculinity in women is so rare in the media that it's treated like a freak show when it appears.

Even in lesbian media, which should have fewer barriers in theory, it's unbelievably rare to see butch women. If they are, it's very much on the futch end of the spectrum. Which isn't less revolutionary, but it's not butch. Occasionally the character is only masc because she is working class, so her job doesn't allow her to wear make-up or she can't afford dresses, but once she does YIPPEEEEE she's found her femininity!!!

Probopass, based on the TCG art originally by Kinu Nishimura.

"It freely controls three small units called Mini-Noses using magnetic force."

For @poketcg-art 's Sinnoh redraw challenge, I picked this cool card art that inspired me to dive a bit deeper into writing custom shaders and program lightning VFX to roughly follow a desired path. Probopass, having much simpler geometry for 3D modelling than the previous Pokémon I did, also lent itself perfectly for some idle animation :)

We keep these card redraws for @poketcg-art's collab rolling. I found a cheat code that let me pixel the entire swablu line in one card for this one.

Swablu, based on the TCG art by Jiro Sasumo.

Another 3D redraw for @poketcg-art's Pokédex collab! I immediately fell in love upon seeing the original card artwork for this, as Swablu is incredibly cute in it. This meant that my main goal was to make sure that it remained adorable in 3D, while taking a bunch of liberties in pretty much all other parts of the scene.

it’s in the air we’re breathing (can you taste the freedom?)

summary: talking about your feelings is hard, but for wanda, natasha tries.

Chapter 10: and i know it’s hard to hold it inside (it’s days like these i run and hide)

words: 2,438

rating: teen and up audiences

The first time it happens, Natasha’s able to brush it off. They’re in Wanda’s quarters, protected by magic and locked doors, lips engaged in a fierce battle for control. Natasha knows she’s winning because she has Wanda pinned under her, secured between her thighs, and writhing under her attention. She wants to keep Wanda safe. That word triggers a powerful reaction within her, something Natasha still struggles to handle. She doesn’t know what safety means, so she doesn’t know how to shield herself and those she cares about. So she does the only thing she can; she holds Wanda tight between her thighs, in a strangling, almost bruising embrace. Natasha needs to protect her, and the only way she can do that is by not letting anything come between them; she must guard her with her life. She can’t fail. Not again.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs
