@boeing-787’s attempt at a daily drawing challenge from the lunar new year onwards! I’ve made it a separate blog to try and encourage myself to keep up with it and also so it can be it’s own archive!
drives me up a wall living in a very very red district, like “no democrat is ever going to win any local election, let alone a real leftist” district, like “our school board members ran on who was the most anti-mask” red, like “I pass white supremacist signs on the way to buy weed” red
and being in the local leftist community and the guy who runs the anarchist book club and the lady who helps keep the warming shelters open and the people who marched on city hall when a local business was getting death threats for having a drag show are all members of a discord and we get on this discord and have frank discussions about how best to vote
the people who do the protests and the mutual aid and all the real work
going “okay, they’re both fascists, but this one lacks ambition and seems happy to just glide in the position” or “they both suck, but this one can be reasoned with if you frame it patriotically enough” like we don’t even have a democrat to vote for. we know what a vote is. we know what we hope accomplish with it. we know what it can do, and we know what it can’t.
and going from those discussions to here where people think that your vote is some kind of fucking??? enabling maneuver??? as if someone isn’t going to end up in that seat regardless of what you do???
we didn’t build this system, we just live in it. we’re just trying to survive. a vote isn’t a statement of your values, it’s not an endorsement, it’s not a marriage contract, it’s a strategic play you make to keep alive.
the biggest mistake I see leftists making is overestimating their own popularity. “well but everyone would be leftist if they just-“ no, stop, 1) you can’t possibly know that 2) everyone will not just
Hey look! Proper Animorphs fanart! It’s not exact, but it was heavily inspired from the books where is front legs slam out of him as he’s deliriously morphing.

More old art that has not been posted here, this time the portraits I made for my Pathfinder: WotR playthrough: The righteous and brave Knight Commander Galahad and his later demonic incarnation, the punished visage of a man who did not realise until it was too late that he had become the very thing he swore to fight.
I also designed an outfit for this version of him, and though I’ve yet to actually to make much use of it I’m very pleased with how it came out.
His title may be “Knight Commander”, but Galahad is still a wizard at heart in this setting (with a few levels of sword saint-magus sprinkled in for that battlemage flair), so a lot of time and thought was put into making something that felt both knightly and mage-y while also incorporating his own personal brand of fashion.
