since i talk about work but don't actually plug my own shit: hi, i work for object lover, a trans owned and operated home decor maker focused on making objects for joyful, colorful living. if you're interested in supporting queer creators, this post is for you!

we have almost universally positive reviews, but struggle w/sales bc of low visibility. our labor is all shared, and for 3 years every employee, incl. the founder & designer ( 11 total at one time or another! ) has been paid equally.

it feels a little bit gauche, in this time of incipient genocide, to say "buy our stuff!" but even just checking out our website or reblogging this post is materially supporting trans women in central texas, & i think if you do you'll fall in love with our work. we make home goods and decor, including side tables—the first 3d printed furniture!—plant stands and planters, and jewelry trays.

here's a couple pics of my favorite items; a link'll follow in the reblogs because i think maybe we're still in the world of tumblr where links in the main post get eaten? reblog that one, please!

as a side note, we keep our prices as low as we possibly can and still keep the lights on; our margins are very low. but one of our guiding principles is that beautiful, joyous home decor shouldn't be financially out of reach, esp. to queer ppl. we run sales as often as we possibly can, but if our work is still inaccessible to you i'm happy to provide coupon codes to anyone who dms me

one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it

i know hearing people on this website love to pass around those posts with links to free sign language lessons but you know you need to actually put effort into learning about Deaf culture, too, right?

Okay, you need to make sure you play this game at some point. Maybe not today or anything, because you’ll need about thirty minutes and a serious willingness to understand how it works, but - it’s so worth it. It’s basically an answer to our occasional frustration - why do assholes always come out on top? - and the beautiful thing about it is that not only does it explain how that happens, but also how we can change it.

“In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it’s us players who define the game.”

ID: A digital drawing featuring Ethoslab speeding around on a motorcycle in the foreground, with elements of it glowing green. Behind is Scar, eyes hidden beneath the wizard cloak, holding a glowing green crystal, along with Cleo, who’s face is mostly obscured by their hair, and Bdubs, on his red life, smiling wickedly. There is also a brick wall with “Oh, Bless Your Broken Heart” written in glowing green graffiti. The whole piece is done in much cooler tones. End ID

ID: A drawing of Taneesha from Dominion SMP. She is a pale woman with long light colored hair, goatlike eyes, and goat horns. She is wearing a beanie and a matching sweater, and darker high-waisted pants. She’s holding an axe in one hand. In the background is a tree that is defying the laws of physics, as only half was cut down, and is therefore floating. Taneesha is smiling mischievously. End ID

hmm uhh because I am predictable. for the palettes, Joy with Speak To Me? or Taneesha with Menace because hehe funny she is a menace

fun fact she rejected the lumberjack role solely so she could continue to leave floating trees everywhere. she’s absolutely a menace and i love that about her.

ID: A drawing of Shadowmech from Dominion SMP. He is a cloaked figure wearing a blindfold, only revealing the bottom half of his face. He is wearing a pale shirt that stops at his elbows, a dark corset, and darker pants. His forearms gradually fade from skin to bones. In one hand he is holding a black wither skeleton skull with one glowing pink eye, and in the other he holds a dark jagged sword. The background is bright pink. End ID

ID: A drawing of Sneve from Dominion SMP. He is a mass of smoke with two tattered towels draped over him like a sheet ghost. One is shorter and lets smoke escape from underneath, and has a rope tied around the neck in a little bow to establish a difference between the face and body. The face has silly googly-eyes and a triangle mouth, and he is surrounded by blaze rods. The background is a simplistic doodle of a nether fortress. The entire drawing is done in shades of green. End ID

oo for the color palette thing possibly sneve in encased?

ID: A drawing of VikingPilot from Dominion SMP. He is a pale ghost with blonde hair and pointed ears, blue and yellow goggles, a matching blue and yellow jacket, darker blue jeans, and black converse. His eyes are closed, and he’s peacefully relaxing in the bottom of an open grave. There is a lantern just outside the grave, casting everything it reaches in a faint yellow glow. The entire drawing is done in shades of blue and yellow. End ID

For the palette ask game, Viking in Sentry?

nuke asking if viking “buried himself again” in the finale implies that it’s a common occurrence. i choose to believe it is

i love this blog cause it originally started as a way to add IDs and save my art but has since evolved into kind of a mess. you come here to see all my art in once place and have to scroll by a ton of technology advise and posts about home and nostalgia. i’m wholeheartedly planning on making it worse here.

“i used to live there” is such a sad phrase. seeing places u used to live in is an odd thing. It’s like ‘i know where the best hiding place is in there. my bedroom was the one directly to the left as you walk in. i took my first steps on that flooring. i used to play in that yard with my grandma. she died two years ago. that was the only place i ever knew. those walls contain all of my childhood memories. i can no longer go there, but i know every corner like the back of my hand.’

Jimmy is wearing a plaid flannel shirt rolled up to the sleeves, Tango is in a vest over a sleeveless jacket, though it is hard to tell as Tango is obscured by Jimmy wrapping his wings around him. The entire drawing is in pale yellows, oranges and pinks. End ID
