Become a Marketable Plushie for a Good Cause 🍉

You heard me right! If you help someone out, you'll get a Love Live style nesoberi drawing in return. My friend Emad is currently facing the harsh realities of life in Gaza and can use all the help he can get.

For anyone who donates $15 USD (roughly £11.59, so around £12, as his fundraiser is in GBP) or more is eligible to receive a drawing of a neso! These nesos can be used for personal use (including stream usage even if you are monetized), but commercial use must be discussed with me prior.

Donation proof must be either DMed to me on discord or other social media or emailed to me at aurumatombiz@gmail.com.

I have been chatting with Emad since this past summer at the time of posting (March 2025) and he is trustworthy. GFM fundraisers are protected as well.

Emad's instagram: @emadhusam1999

Emad's fundraiser: gofund.me/6fbd2056

I will draw:

Humanoid characters only

OCs/VTubers/Sonas

Canon characters from most media

Real people with consent

I will not draw:

Gore of any kind

Any bigoted symbolism

Real people without consent

NSFW elements*

*if you are a NSFW creator who donates and wants a neso, that is totally fine as long as you're okay with it being SFW!

You are not permitted to feed my work to AI nor use this neso uncredited.

as an ant (poem)

in the past few weeks ive begun writing again. here's a poem i wrote yesterday:

i was once told a story when i was as fragile as an ant, marching, alone, along a path teeming with scents.

the story was sad and despondent, though their tone never revealed that truth. instead, i was charmed by their sweet voice, musing about the past, present, but never the future.

this story was the before, the current. but never the . because what was the point? they explained cheerily. the present is the past, just as the past is the present.

and just like an ant, each step forward is just the past catching up with me. i dont remember their name, the person who lavished me with such a tale of loneliness and fear. but does it really matter?

all i know is that i continue walking not because of what i hope to achieve in the , but because of what i know awaits me in the past.

thank you for reading.

i spent a while making a 3D model of my splatoon oc Coralie in VRoid Studio to see how a splatoon character would look in the program and she turned out really cute so i'm posting her :-) everything except the meshes/templates (except for the hair i made those parts myself) were done by me!

ko-fi

Pretty much all of my VTuber Models so far~

The top 4 are my MAIN models

...The rest are just extras for fun, but I've used them a lot!

I drew and rigged pretty much ALL of my models myself!

The only exceptions are the two chibis with similar eyes (drawn by my friend ceselaaa), the front center VRoid model (made by my friend yuliechu), and the muppet (free base model, made by @lualucky, check her out!)

[munchlax-musings]

realize many of y'all prolly never saw the whole fit~

Working on porting my newer updated look into 3D with VRoid Studio! So far so good I'm changing my hair color slightly to be a more obvious blonde and not have as much of the red undertone as before, so that's why the coloring is SLIGHTLY off.

[munchlax-musings]

Because we shouldn't be quiet on the issues that matter the most. These are Free Streamer Assets, I don't own the rights to these symbols or flags, I believe in todays environment we have a duty to show our support however we can. I want to make more, but i also want to inspire other Vtubers to be out loud and proud. Yes we're entertainers but that does not take away our humanity. We deserve to cultivate our communities however we want to.

I believe in a future that benefits all of us and I'll fight for that future in anyway possible. Even if it means putting "stupid buttons" on my streams.

I am a Puerto Rican Bisexual Trans Woman. That's as important to my Vtuber Identity as me being an Eldritch Goddess. Don't let them intimidate you. Don't let them silence you.

Right now, on Disney/Hulu and other streaming sites, queer show are disappearing. The first to go.

All the reasons given are bullshit, of course, because they could make these shows available for rental or download/purchase, but that isn't happening. Imagine throwing away a potential cash cow like that. Not even making them available on DVD.

Disappearing all of these shows isn't just eroding us culturally, socially and politically; it's also a form of crowd control, keeping us down, demoralized and making minorities like the queer community that much easier to demonize. If we're not visible, the fascists can say whatever they want.

This is why we have to be activists. We have to be screaming about this, making all the noise. We can't go quietly.

Demand the studios release this content, sell it, rent it, whatever. It's hard to see this as much different than banning or burning books: they can say its business, the effect is the same. Our cultural touchstones, art and soul, is being taken away.

Care about that, please.

UK nonbinary legal recognition court case

Help support the court case by reblogging this post and/or contributing to the crowdfund!

Ryan Castellucci, who is nonbinary, has issued legal proceedings against the Gender Recognition Panel (GRP) and the Secretary of State for Justice arguing that the GRP breached its statutory duty to issue a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) in terms which record Ryan’s acquired gender as nonbinary, and has instead decided to issue a GRC of uncertain legal effect. Ryan is also seeking a declaration that a GRC which records Ryan’s gender as “not specified” would mean that their gender is for all purposes nonbinary.

It turns out that the Gender Recognition Act in the UK doesn't actually specify that you have to be moving from male to female or from female to male, which means there is absolutely already room within the law to allow for nonbinary genders, and obviously the government should accommodate that.

Contribute to the crowdfund here - it's currently at £2,178 pledged of £100,000, with 28 days to go, ending on 27th April 2023.

The 2023 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!
