Chapters: 3/? Fandom: Divinity: Original Sin (Video Games) Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Ifan Ben-Mezd/Sebille
Divinity 2 is one of my favorite games, and I’ve really enjoyed playing as both Ifan and Sebille. There were so many elements of their stories that I think make for an interesting relationship, so I had to write a fic about it. Check it out if you’re interested!
Previously, I wasn't really into making fan art. I like fan art by others, but I wasn't doing it myself. I decided to stop being just a viewer, although there is a little bit of a practical approach for that, but honestly, I think I was a little afraid of doing that 🤔
Although I have a lot of shows and games I like, I decided to start by sketching Nott and Frumpkin, because that was the latest show I had seen and I really liked her. I haven't watched the campaign (yet), but I've got some spoilers about her story. Alas, she looks a little too cute in the sketch for a sharp character that she is, and I hope I will be able to fix it in the future ✨
People really underestimate the power of just telling someone you like them. romantically obviously but hell even just platonically too. You can admit you enjoy peoples presence it doesn’t have to be mind games it’s okay to just be sincere and true with your thoughts and intentions btw
girls love castles and swords and runes and sigils
I love reading classic books because I get part way through one and I suddenly realise that despite its prevalence in pop culture, I don't actually know what it's about, or how it ends.
and that is great. because then I get to read the rest of it and then, finally, I sit there and I go "oh, fuck, THAT'S why it's a classic!"
I have a similar feeling when I go to art museums and you see a painting that you've seen jpgs of hundreds of times, but now you see The Painting for real and it clicks in your head why people need to steal these
Sounds hot
theres a whole album of song titles you can make just from the words of this tweet

this makes smoking weed sound so much cooler than it is
Lohse is finished - and I enjoyed the shit out of this painting.
Sometimes you just need a painting to go well after one doesn’t go so well, - and this was a nice, quick reset (about 8 hours in total).
Hope you’re all well, and next I’m going to try and tackle Control again, but with a limited palette and more of an action scene.
puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.
The problem with my polycule is that I've got a wolfgirl GF and a goatboy BF and I'm carrying this cabbage so it's basically impossible to cross rivers
Dr. Alan Hart, a trans man from the USA who pioneered the use of X-ray photography in tuberculosis detection (saving countless lives according to researchers), was "reclaimed" by the lesbian community after his death in 1962, which means he was deadnamed and described as "a women loving woman who had to transition because at the time transsexualism was a quick medicine against sexism and homophobia" by numerous gay and lesbian associations and activists (including Jonathan Ned Katz whom I just quoted and who received many awards for his contributions to... I don't know, transphobia against trans men I guess), even though his widow always expressed how offensive it was to both her and her husband to refer to them as lesbians.
Hart was on testosterone, legally changed his name, and had gotten a hysterectomy (that was described as "unfortunate" by the Right to Privacy gay and lesbian political action committee), making him the first documented trans man to transition in the USA, yet he was characterized as a lesbian woman because cis gays and lesbians had the nerve (when do they NOT have the nerve, dare I say) to think they had the right to "honor [his] life as a woman" by having fundraiser dinners with his deadname attached to them, having college lectures where they talked about him as a lesbian hero, and using she pronouns for him until 2000. The USAmerican trans community, including trans activist Lou Sullivan, had to fight to defend Hart's identity and to have his manhood recognized by the wider community by protesting these lectures and dinners and having a conversation with the Portland chapter of the Lesbian Avengers association, which ended up having a favorable response and joining the trans community in the battle.
I want to end this by reporting the words of Candice Hellen Brown, a trans woman from Portland who wrote a letter to Just Out magazine in 1994 defending Hart's transness:
The Right to Privacy Political Action Committee in Oregon has a big fundraiser every year that is called the [deadname] Hart Dinner. When asked if I am going, I indignantly answer, "Not until they stop using the wrong name and gender for one of our heroes!" His name is Alan [. . .] He never wavered from his identity as a man, and upon his death, his widow continued to insist that he was a man. Why would such a straight man be called a lesbian by the gay community when today we would certainly call him a female-to-male transsexual? [. . .] He was transsexual or, at least, a transgenderist - a true pioneer. One who is seen as a hero by today's transsexual community. Please don't let him be taken away from us by allowing his old name to be used as though it were a badge of honor.
Think about this story every time the "trans men never contributed to anything in history" discourse resurfaces again. If this can happen to a famous historical figure from the USA and from a relatively recent time who medically transitioned and was explicitly out as a trans man, imagine how many others from other countries, historical periods, and situations have been erased or "reclaimed".
