as a writer of very dark, ✨️Highly Cancellable✨️ fiction myself, i really don't think it's that difficult to understand that suggesting it might be advisable for writers to put actual thought into the ways in which they portray sensitive topics in fiction, and to do appropriate research where it's needed to make sure they're not writing shitty caricatures and/or perpetuating harmful stigma and stereotypes (eg. "people with X mental illness are violent monsters" or "domestic abuse is romantic" or "trans people are predators"), doesn't automatically equate to "supporting censorship" or wanting to burn "problematic" books at the stake, but I keep forgetting we're on the Allergic to Nuance website.
Reserving the right to criticize lazy or irresponsible portrayals of complex issues that affect real people =/= demanding that said materials not exist, trying to stop anyone from creating or engaging with them, or otherwise advocating for their censorship. Being opposed to censorship also means allowing readers to form their own opinions and engage critically with the media they're consuming, no?

Well, I did have three of them! Might as well collect the whole series into references.
This guy is different... Race? Tribe? Ethnicity? Anyway, same species as Arcanth and the big lady, but different flavour of one compared to the two. Which is extra funny, because he's a lot closer culturally to the lady than either of them are with Arcanth.
Gonna go for more sandy color for this one, methinks.

I thought it'd be fun to try making an anthro design based on a death's head moth and I was pleasantly surprised with the kinds of yellows n stuff they can have, it makes for a nice palette
Only thing is I could not figure out outfit stuff at all with all those extra limbs to accommodate

“Haha isn’t it funny that Neil Gaiman is the only celebrity we haven’t run off this site?” Actually no, it isn’t funny that tumblr has repeatedly launched harassment campaigns against every vaguely popular person who dared to be accessible and no, we didn’t “decide to let Neil stay”, he’s received a metric shitton of harassment he just refuses to be bullied off of social media by a bunch of teenagers with nothing better to do than to be shitty to people online just because they’re there

When Danny decides to reincarnate, centuries after his adventures, he chooses a random Dimension of Heroes and Villains.
He's expecting adventure! Heroics! A life worth bragging about in the Afterlife!
He wakes up in a tube, staring down at surprised teen heroes as they release him and another person.
Later, he finds out that he's a clone of Batman and Superman, and the other clone is of Superman and Lex Luthor.
He came into this world expecting adventures, not a weird custody battle about him and his brother (because that's what Conner is) between two A-List superheroes.

Can I eventually answer in the form of an awfully self-indulgent and with a bit of luck pleasantly painful fanfiction? The general answer is EXTREMELY bad.
My muse is dead. Tell me how yours is dealing with it.
