And i was like...

The other is for obvious reasons

All the entities of the Magnus archives in one place because i learnt that the Tumblr photo limit was higher than I thought.

if ending the world was a crime you could be arrested for

[ID: A Magnus Archives meme redraw of Jon and Elias as Barbie and Ken getting their mugshots taken. Jon looks horrified as he holds up his name card, while Elias is posing with a smirk. End ID]

[ID: Digital fanart of Barbie facing forward and smiling with her right hand reached out. She is dressed in a cardigan over a collared shirt, pink tie with gold stripes, and skirt with her hair blowing to the side. Sketchy pink eyes surround her and cast a pink glow onto her. The title “Barbie in the Magnus Archives” is written on the bottom. End ID]

I kinda want to draw the barbiestortion now.... maybe the barboneturner too...

In short, my advice? Share it.

There's a whole-ass internet. Neocities exists if you can slap up a simple HTML site and they allow any type of art. Twitter still allows NSFW. Pillowfort allows some NSFW. Mastodon instances exist -- I know people complain about baarag or baraag or whatever because it's basically the l0lish0 show but if you wanna go dead dove...there's the biggest test for how dead your doves can die. I know it's not the same as it was five or ten years ago but the internet's not dead yet and it's a way to share and find others like you if your IRL space isn't welcoming.

I'll be honest, I don't feel shame. I could draw....I could draw the l0liest of l0lis getting full on gaped by feral dog dick and squirting buckets full while being vivisected and that'd be a pretty sick metal album cover, right? I'd have 0 shame about that. Why would I? It's a drawing, and one that'd take a good bit of skill -- and I'd like that skill appreciated so I'd share it. What's there to be ashamed of? Why should I feel shame?

Like really: what's there to be ashamed of with your art? It's dark? It's porn? OK and -- what's there to be ashamed of? What's shameful about that?

If you want to make stuff, make it. Share it. If your friends were to throw your friendship into the meat grinder because of your art, they're shit garbage and not worth having in your life. My closest friends have seen my fucked up art since we were ten years old and I'm very open about my art with new friends because somebody who's gonna spurn you over you art is someone who doesn't deserve to be in your life (they also don't deserve to live but I'm trying to be nice here.)

Break the cycle. Make art. Share it. Keep making. Keep sharing. Find your tribe. Yeah, it's easier said than done. Yes, it's a bit harder with all the content restrictions. But it's worth doing. It's so worth doing.

Running across that once doesn’t make you think about a policy, but by the time it’s five to ten times, and then you’ve seen people vanish from the internet (might be dead; might just be not interested anymore) and nobody knows whether it’s okay to collect their fic in an archive or transfer it to a new one….

over the last few weeks I’ve been doing a full rewatch of Utena! it’s always been one of my, like, Formative Shows – it influenced a lot of how I think of art and storytelling, and while I’ve gone back to it in bits and pieces over the years, this was the first time I’ve sat down and watched the entire thing straight through + the movie since my first viewing. so I’m kinda rolling in nostalgic love right now!

thank you! however I did make a terrible mistake -- I foolishly drew everyone in some kind of vaguely vampiric-slash-dragon-esque clothing, when we all know the kind of thing Lilia would actually be wearing.

also this wasn’t as much of a natural continuation as my brain thought it was at the time, but I drew it so have it anyway:

this event has so far given me two priceless gifts:

1) more wholesome diasomnia content

2) the knowledge that Lilia plays the bagpipes

back on my diasomnia bs again lads!! Lilia’s birthday isn’t until January but I wanted to get this out while it was still in my head and before they ruin all my headcanon. not pictured: Yuu insisting that the Fudgie the Whale cake is absolutely essential to the process.

also I don’t care what canon says, in my heart Crowley made birthday parties mandatory after episode 4 in a half-assed attempt to boost morale. by the time we hit episode 7 there’s going to be compulsory bingo nights that nobody finds fun except Trein probably.

god I really want their dynamic to be this hark a vagrant strip. Neige as a clueless sweetheart who just wants senpai to notice him is 10000% the funniest possibility and y’all can fight me on that.

(this was my last chance to do this before it gets totally jossed tomorrow okay)
