filterable picrew database!

original post updated march 7 2024

hey pals!! i'm working on a filterable, tagged collection of picrew i like. right now there's over 100 picrew (and other such makers such as those from neka or meiker) in there with tags for things like fashion, hair options, skin colors, specific features like horns or headscarves, and body types. you can search for multiple tags at a time and filter out tags you don't want. the whole thing is organized in a big grid of sample results from the picrew in question, so you can see the style at a glance and click it for more images and the url, but you can change the view and organization system however you like.

the link is here!!! feel free to share this wherever. i'm still going through my folders and adding more makers, so expect lots of updates real soon.

i'm hoping this makes it easier for people to find picrew that suit them and their characters, especially in cases where it's unfortunately harder to find certain features like dark skin options and fat bodies.

really important notes:

i do not take requests for additional tags. sorry!! please understand that every time i want to use a new tag, i have to manually go into every maker in the entire backlog and check to see if they have it. it's a pain! it takes a while! there's only one of me! the only circumstance under which i'm willing to add a new tag is if you're willing to go through the backlog and link me every picrew that needs the tag, and i can use it going forward.

if something is tagged wrong, i need to know which maker it is so i can fix it. you need to tell me! the most useful way to send me a specific picrew is a direct link, or the artist name (which will be the title when you click into the item in the database). sometimes i get vague comments like "there are makers in x tag that don't fit" and no one EVER follows up with which ones they are so i can't FIX IT.

one big thing that you can do to help me with this database is take one of the links on my tba page and tell me what tags apply to it. literally just one! enough folks see and use this resource that just a few people taking one takes a load off my plate.

💖🍵 if this resource has been useful for you, consider sending me a tip on ko-fi!!

have fun!!!! i hope this is helpful for people!!!

My husband -> Matthew <- has another book coming out this August! There's a stinky knight, a pretty princess who will *definitely* stab first and ask questions later (maybe on the questions), and potatoes. Whole bunch of other stuff happens in there too, but that's the main gist. ;) Cover reveal & pre-orders are on Tuesday, July 1st! There's gonna be a sneak peak on his mailing list before that -> HERE <-

Wow. Just found out I'm vehemently opposed to not only sexualizing SecUnit, but ART/Perihelion, too.

As someone who has done a whole lotta slashing of characters that would kill me for it, it's interesting to know that I have too much respect(?) for ace characters to violate them like that. (?) because it's not conscious, and idk why it's such a visceral reaction, but it really bothers me.

Maybe it's because actual ace people are so bothered when it's done to them?

That's probably it.

Acknowledging that trans men have needs and need protections that cis men don't isn't failing to recognise them as the men they are. It's actually a great way to meaningfully do so.

"Trans men are men" doesn't mean we should take trans men and put them in the "cis men"-box in our minds and activism. It means expanding our image/definition of what a man is to also include trans male experiences. Including all the extra needs and protections that necessarily involves.

Not queer as in "queer is not a slur" but queer as in "I do not give a fuck if its a slur, you don't get to censor my identity regardless". Queer as in "I HOPE my identity upsets you". Queer as in "my identity is not only a slur but a threat"

I appreciate people wanting me to join in our shared interest communities, but I will not be joining any 'fangirl' groups, for I am not a girl, and as a trans man, yes, that matters. If I was a cis dude, I would hop on that train in a second (whee nonbinary), but I have a feeling I wouldn't be given a ticket to do so.

for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!
