NEWBORN CUTTLEFISH!!!!!

Today we had two cuttlefish births and they are thE CUTEST LITTLE ALIENS EVER! This one is trying to figure out how to stay level in the water and it’s so adorable. They are about the size of my pinky nail (and I have small hands) which means it’s very hard to get a good, well focused picture/video of them.

A character whose gender is unknown and who expresses male and female gender (Assassin and Fool books);

A character with Down’s syndrome (Fool books) who is portrayed as a complex human with valid emotions and experiences (ie. he is a real character);

A huge swathe of women and girls, all different, all complex, all with their own character arcs;

Feminist themes (Liveship and Rain Wild Chronicles);

Gay characters who are actual complex people, one of whom is a main character (Rain Wild Chronicles);

Discussion on consent and abusive relationships (Rain Wild Chronicles);

Characters with physical disabilities (Rain Wild Chronicles).

Reblog this message if you encourage anyone that wants to draw your OC to do so.  No need to ask for permission in advance.

Go for it.  Draw my OC.  If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts.  Go to town on it.

You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result.  Seriously.  In fact, I encourage it.  I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC.  There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.
