So I got a blåhaj for my birthday, and that means the similarly sized unicorn I got as a kid finally has a match 💞

[ID: digital art of a blue stuffed shark and a pink/purple stuffed unicorn cuddling heads together as they walk. The back half of the shark is supported by a custom wheelchair, and walks using his front fins. The unicorn nuzzles his head as she walks and swishes her tail. She has curly hair and a chevron shaped band around her neck. Above them is a heart with the trans flag colors overlaid. /End ID]

#messed up a little where the light part goes on the shark but yk whatever #my art #personal nostalgia #plushies #plushblr #trans art #blahaj #t4t

I'd like to share something with you, Tumblr.

When I first played D&D 3.5, many years ago now, I played a bard named Wren, using a homebrew race that you could find on the official Wizards forums around that time called the Kassuri. He was a goofy little manlet with the ears and tail of a fox who knew no fear. He got to ride on the back of a luck dragon.

He tamed a shocker lizard and named it Tazer. He once drank a whole bucket of dwarven ale without getting drunk, and then shouted, "I said a large glass!" and another time bluffed a group of elven soldiers that the Half-orc paladin was his pet. When a demon killed his mentor, he avenged them and made a coat out of the demon's wings.

He fought his former friend turned enemy, almost died, and won. He got knighted by his king after starting the campaign exiled from his homeland, and then prayed so hard to be a better person that his alignment shifted right before going to face the final boss. When he realized the BBEG was sensitive to sounds and played a heavy metal lute solo so sick that it literally caused their Fortress of Evil to collapse.

It was a silly game, played fast and loose by a group that only half understood the rules, but it was a blast to play. After having some not-so-good experiences with AD&D (may I never forget The Exploding Cleric), it was the first game I ever played to the end of a campaign. I loved the game, and I love my group from back then...Hothgoth, Lios, Pixie, Elena, Leif, and even the others who came in later and didn't stick around as long. I've held onto those memories, and my beloved "first successful character", ever since.

Until the tail end of last year, I never had any decent art of him.

This is Wren, almost perfectly as I envisioned him all those years ago.

The sad truth is, unless you're an artist yourself, it can be hard to get character art for TTRPGs. Most people I know in the hobby don't have a lot of money, and even if they do you never know how long a character may last before getting killed by bad rolls. Back in the day, for the game Wren is from, we just used a text description and imagined the character. These days, most people I know use a virtual table top. Characters need tokens (and usually profile pictures for when other players check the sheet), and for hardcore players like me that are in several games a week, that's a lot of art that could need swapped out on a moment's notice.

The sad truth is, people just steal it. Even the people I know who are artists steal art, only really drawing characters they get attached to. We discuss what images would be good for characters, show one-another what we've found, and it's not uncommon to decide details about a character based on what kind of a picture you can find for them. So...when AI art started becoming a thing, I got excited.

Artist Tumblr probably noticed right away that the picture up there is AI generated. It's a pretty good output, but there's still telltale signs. Yes I notice them, and no they don't bother me. It's better than any of the attempts I ever made at doing a picture myself, and even if I could afford a picture of that level of quality, who knows if the artist I found would be able to fully understand my description the way I see it in my head, or if they would be willing to put in the time and effort to revise it to my satisfaction. It was going to be imperfect either way, but I was able to take time (a frankly ridiculous amount) to tweak things and start over and try different approaches until it was to my satisfaction.

...and like I said, I make a lot of characters. Now, instead of just finding some picture I like and stealing it wholesale, I end up generating a lot of character art. It's just for my personal use either way, and thanks to AI, I get to express my own ideas.

I know some people out there are abusing the technology to make a quick buck, but please remember that's a fault of those people. There are people abusing just about every technology out there. For other people, who are only trying to use it to express themselves or to do things without needing an additional skillset they don't have, AI art is a godsend.

Something my dad did when he was a kid (not sure what year- if I had to guess maybe 1966. Which would have made him 6 when he wrote this)

I love this so much it reads: “On this special day I like to play hochey hockey on my rink we play with a pufeshnol professional puck. But when I score a goat the ether other teme team goos shouts ‘oh gees’.”

Canadian boys and their hockey lolololol

This piece of paper is older than my mom-

Indonesia's Path Forward: Anies Baswedan's UGM Homecoming and Visionary Blueprint

YOGYAKARTA | KBA – For Anies Baswedan, the iconic Grha Sabha Pramana of Gadjah Mada University (UGM) was more than just a venue; it was a journey back to cherished memories. A mere kilometer from his childhood home, the university had been a backdrop to his formative years. “Returning to UGM is always an evocative experience,” Anies reminisced, emphasizing the personal ties he holds with the…

[ID: A six page zine with the title "The girl that I am not, have never been, will never be, but could have been. Or: there's a ghost in my head but she's not mine. She's cool." All pages were drawn in pencil, scanned, and edited to have watercolor splashes in the blank space around the text/illustrations. All but the last are earth tones.

Page 1: "Sometimes I think there's a girl inside of me who is what could've been. She never shows her face. I don't know if she really exists."

Page 2: "But if she did, she'd have long dark hair and sharp teeth." The drawing below shows a young girl from the nose down, smiling with her hair blowing in the wind. She's wearing a strapped dress or shirt, and a necklace with chunky dragonfly and butterfly shaped beads.

Page 3: A drawing of a girl running down a hill in a long skirt, riding up past her knees from the speed. Her hair is longer than she is tall and waves behind her. "She would run back and forth across the fields nearby."

Page 4: A drawing of a forest with the lyrics "wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles" written in smooth cursive woven between tree trunks. "Her voice would be as loud as a horn and as gentle as a moth." The lyrics are from the song Miracle of Miracles from Fiddler on the Roof.

Page 5: "She'd stay silent for hours, collecting precious objects and making forts." A drawing of woven together branches with a grass shelf secured to the wall, and an empty spool of thread, a broken dish, and a small bouquet of wildflowers sits on it.

Page 6: "And if anyone was a danger to her, her nails would be sharp and her feet would be quick." This last page is bordered by bright red splashes of watercolor. There is a drawing of a hand with fingers curled like claws, and with a drop of blood clinging to the fingertip of the middle finger. That drop is the only thing in the entire zine colored in. /End ID]

[ID: glitter text that says "terfs and radfems can fuck off." /End ID]
