marinette queen of kitsch and whimsy

[flightlessribbons]

it's so heartbreaking that a popular person like lil Nas x can receive so little kindness for what happened to him, (he had a psychotic episode and ran through the Streets experiencing psychosis) and this lack of care and concern from people lies in the fact that he is a queer black man, AN OPENLY queer black man.

he was assaulted by police for rightfully defending himself from them and mostly everyone online just joked about the situation. it's unfortunate that black queers can't do anything, including being vulnerable and mentally ill without facing ridicule, humiliation, and being physically harmed.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE CLAUDRIEN FAN CONTEST!!!!!

Our top three this year are: @flightlessribbons , @sillysiluriforme , and @bakawitch ! There was a bit of a sweep with fanart xD

Additionally, our only writing submission was done by the wonderful @doozyfloozy , who gave me permission to share the link to her essay about Claudrien! (Link here) I think it's awesome and I know you guys will appreciate it too.

Anyway, Claudrien-related celebrations will likely be on hold until October 8th, since I'm hoping to do something for the anniversary for The Warm Embrace of Shadow. But, hell, I do know some people had submission ideas, so maybe you could share them then if you can't wait a whole year lol!

RC9GN 9RG Doodle dump from my last sketchbook! Don't try to decipher my shitty shorthand ass handwriting, I'm honestly posting it for my own reference since I won't have it on hand anymore 😭 Bonus picture of the Theresa doll I made! I wanna do a photoshoot for her and her cartoony puff paint eyebrows, but that'll be later 👍

OOOO finally scanning my shit (i will be stuck in front of a printer for at minimum 45 minutes while I press the sketchbook flat for almost every page)

[flightlessribbons]

FINALLY FINISHED MY SKETCHBOOK OF AROUND 10 MONTHS!!! That means a doodle dump incoming 🫡

[flightlessribbons]

the play (RC9GN x BMC AU) idk how i finished this so fast wth

[flightlessribbons]

Gonna take that as a no

[flightlessribbons]

im honestly surprised (not really surprised considering what website this is) that i haven't seen anyone on here talk about Lil Nas X getting violently arrested after suffering some kind of mental health episode. I wish he was getting more attention and support.

[flightlessribbons]

I FORGOT HOW TO DRAW HIM FOR A SEC i do really like the top one tho 🥳

Reimagined socqueline for a LT a while ago ! We renamed her Brigitte and decided she’s marinette and alya’s cool older fashionable sister figure growing up. She went to FDP with a gymnastics scholarship and is studying medicine in Shanghai during the events of the comic :3

Wearing things that aid in my daily life is simultaneously giving me great elation and intense embarrassment for the very real fact I look like a Pokemon trainer
