glad you and your family are safe. is there anything americans like me can do to help in these stressful times (donations, stuff like that)?

thank you

all you can really do is support venezuelan artists if you see them promoting their commissions but most of all listen to venezuelans who are trying to explain the situation or expressing how this has been making them feel. unfortunately some venezuelans celebrating maduro's arrest have gotten very angry american leftists saying shit like "ok well enjoy being a US slave i guess" like holy shit dude. zero compassion from these people. i've been sharing some of my most egregious interactions on my twitter (currently privated) and bluesky just so people see how talking about venezuela online as a venezuelan is always a nightmare

Summary:

They beat Vox. They stopped his weapon. They saved Heaven and Hell. But there are still consequences to his actions. His, and Charlie's. Her father was hurt badly by the weapon, and no matter what she does, he won't wake up. She may have to face the fact that he could die, and the very last thing she'll ever have told him is to go away because he fucked things up for her enough. No. She refuses to accept that. She's going to make things better. No matter what it takes.

Warnings: Blood, injury, Whump, Hurt/Comfort, Magical Coma, Panic attacks, metaphysical weirdness

Excerpt:

Dad!” Charlie shrieks, launching herself forward immediately. Her hands smash at the glass, but it doesn’t break. Not even when her claws extend as she assumes her more demonic form and digs against it. “That won’t work,” a voice to her left says. Charlie whips her head around. Carmilla is there, kneeling next to one of the panels closer to the floor. She glances up at Charlie’s wide-eyed look as Zestial slithers into existence again next to her. “Let him go,” Charlie snarls. “I am not holding him captive,” Carmilla says patiently. “And I intend to free him, if at all possible, but I will need your help. That isn’t ordinary glass—it’s infused with angelic steel, as is the rest of the device. It is not breakable by normal means.” “She’s right, Charlie,” Vaggie says, resting her hand gently on Charlie’s shoulder. “I know. I tried to break it with my spear earlier, when I first found him. Didn’t even leave a mark. But…” She looks up, eyeing the pod with horror. “But he wasn’t like this when I left him.” Charlie’s eyes burn with anger and tears as she turns back to the pod, and her father inside. He looks awful. His hands and feet are trapped in sturdy angelic steel cylinders, hanging him spread-eagled. And there are dozens of strange wires digging into his flesh across his chest, back, arms and hips, tearing holes in his clothes and dribbling with golden blood. The wires are still crackling with electricity, and every time they do, Dad twitches unnaturally. His body is limp. He’s held fully suspended by his arms. His hat has fallen to the bottom of the pod, his dormant halo barely visible inside the machine. His head hangs forward, twisted askew by one of the crackling wires. His hair is out of its usually slicked back style, hanging frazzled and messy in front of his face. She can’t see his eyes. She can’t tell if he’s awake. If he’s hurting. If he’s alive. He’s not even making any noise. With the way his body twitches with every crackle of electricity, she can’t even tell if he’s breathing.

if i ever become a showrunner i will actually do the fake series finalle followed by the true ending where the popular gay ship is confirmed just so i can forever poison fandom with the idea that it can happen for real and then they will truly never let that hope go for all other subsequent shows they watch henceforth. just for the sake of making the world a worse place

Commission for @velkynkarma! >:D

Higher res, time lapse video, and drawing stage snapshots are up on my Patreon!

It's my girl! I said it before, but I love how you gave it such a comic book style with so much texture. She looks AMAZING in your style! My D&D group loves her too. Thanks so much for the great work as always!

We have lost the meaning of queerbait

Just because what you wanted didn't happen, doesn't mean it's queerbaiting. It is now being used an excuse when the ship you want didn't get together. Queerbaiting has to do with marketing.

Queerbait: A cookbook that you learned about from ads with pictures of people eating tasty looking soups and the author's social media posts about how soup lovers are going to love it, proves to have no soup recipes.

Not queerbait: A cookbook has no soup recipes. You assumed there would be some based on vibes and wishful thinking. No soups were ever advertised or promised.

Also not queerbait: A cookbook that was advertised as containing soup recipes has soup recipes but not for the types of soups you like.

one of the most comforting constants on this website is when a long-running show comes to an end and all the people who gaslit themselves to the point of psychosis over a ship that would never be canon go apeshit
