These two are my top priority. Many EN players are talking about how they don't like it or "feel" it, but I am over excited! I adore it! I may even create a bjd of them!
I know that the end of the year can be a rough time for a lot of us especially around the holidays, so I’d like to be able to possibly brighten things up. And I know many people liked events where I drew them with a character. so I’m going to try to do as many OC x character drawings as I can in that time.
For this event I’ll draw you or your OC with a character/person of your choice (example: you & markiplier
My Goal is to draw at least one over each weekend until 2024. Maybe more.
Handling entries by email only because it gets too complicated to try and do this across tumblr, Twitter and instagram.
2. When I receive the info I’ll add your name to the drawing and email you back that I received your entry
3. Each weekend I’ll slap names on a wheel or draw from a hat, and get one name at random and I’ll draw that request.
I might even record spinning the wheel in my Instagram stories.
🎀 Rules ✨
1. I only draw human OC’s or fursona characters (no creatures, animals, non humanoids)
2. Do not spam requests or message me asking if/when I’ll do your request
3. One entry per person
4. Understand entering doesn’t guarantee that I’ll draw your request, people will be chosen by random
5. Be kind & Patient
🎀 Info I need for drawings ✨
This is the most important part! This is info I need answered and emailed to me. Please make sure you answer all questions and provide reference photos or you will not be entered!
1. Tell me your username/s and platform/s for I can tag you when/if I draw your request (example: EphieSoul on Twitter)
2. Include at least one photo reference of you or your OC (head shot or full body)
3. Description or photo references of the outfits you’d like you/your OC to be wearing. And the outfit you’d like the character you’ll be drawn with wearing (if different then their regular outfits)
4. Please tell me your eye color
5. Please tell me your skin tone (pale, white, tan, light brown, dark brown, purple, gray etc)
6. Please tell me your preferred pronouns and body type (feminine or non-feminine) their Chibi’s so there’s not a huge physical difference))
✏️ Feminine will include eyelashes and a more curvy figure
✏️ Non-feminine will have no eyelashes and no curves
7. If you’d like a specific body type outside these or other details please describe (example: masculine body but with eyelashes)
8. Please tell me any other important physical characteristics, (such as freckles, make up, facial hair, scars, jewelry, tattoos, birth marks etc)
11. Tell me One character/person you’d like to be drawn with (example: Markiplier, Bingiplier etc)
12. Describe what you’d like the drawing to look like, poses, expressions or what’s going on in the drawing. The more details the better! (Example: Me and Yancy sitting together picking flowers)
Please include Absolutely any other details that you think are important! Remember I’d rather have too much info/details then not enough 💕
If you have any questions please send me an Ask or email me. ✨💕
This week we go to Kiev as the War continues on. Europeans tend to use the Campanus house system so I am using it first. Below it is our standard Morinus.
We have a Grand Trine in Water perhaps highlighting the emotional turmoil going on and creating a locomotive planetary pattern — suggesting the intensity and strong desire to remain independent from the thug in Moscow. The lord of the chart is…
Blood quantum is how much native blood you have in you and it needs to be a certain threshold to qualify you as a tribal member. Blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe.
It means my mom is a tribal member but because my dad is outside of my tribe... I don't have enough tribal blood to enroll. Neither does my daughter. Our "official" indigeneity ended with me.
My dad is still native tho. Just southern native. Others have two parents enrolled in separate tribes and can't enroll in either one despite being Full native because their parents were mixed with other tribes so they don't have enough blood of Any tribe to qualify.
And to what end are they doing this?
Under the treaties the US govt can lay no claim to native land. So how do they fix that? Get rid of the natives, of course.
And since they can't slaughter us in broad daylight anymore they did the next best thing. What the colonial government has ALWAYS done to us and other poc.
Made up a bunch of arbitrary laws to restrain and limit our power and numbers.
And this can't continue. We are the only race who needs to apply to be part of the community we were born into. The only race who needs to prove our blood.
And that's the thing: it's not even based on blood. Racist scientists defined who was a full-blooded native based on things like shoe size, head circumference, and skin pigment.
Not blood. And besides that it wasn't uncommon for outsiders to become part of a tribe!! You didn't need to be native by blood to be native! Blood quantum has made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to qualify and made it impossible for tribes to practice that long time aspect of our culture.
So please share this post. So many people legitimately think natives are extinct and even less are aware that we do more than just sit around drinking all day. Few people have good feelings about us and within that there are a few who actively help. Please be one of those few.
We need support and allies and for our voices to be heard. Please don't let this post just be me screaming into a void. We need people to know what blood quantum is, how archaic and harmful it is, and to help us spread awareness to people who otherwise would ignore us. Use your privilege.
The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

Molham: The team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake
The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.
MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region

some (extremely) quick doodles to celebrate the glorious return of glorious masquerade! I haven't had a chance to do much personal drawing lately, but I didn't want to let it go by without doing something!
Neil Gaiman and Roz Kaveney at the British Library event Why We Need Fantasy 20.11.2023 :) ❤
Neil: I don't remember if it was you or John M. Ford, the late Mike Ford, who pointed out to me first that there is a thing that I do that I was not aware of doing. And it was.. and I remember this being pointed out to me at the time of the publication of American Gods. Or possibly even before it was published, when I sent it out a manuscript. Because it was pointed out to me that one way that you can tell that you're entering the third act of a Neil Gaiman story is there is always a kiss that sort of ends the second act. And it's never a sort of romantic kiss. It's always a kiss that is unexpected and a little bit wrong, but it symbolizes where we're going to go next.
Roz: Yeah, that was Mike, it's too smart for me.
Neil: That was Mike. And I remember arguing with him and then him pointing out that all the places I'd done it. And then I did it again in the Anansi Boys and didn't realize that I'd done it. And then I forget about this thing. And I saw somebody on Tumblr had found an interview with me from 2002 where I'm talking about this and the kiss, and they're like, 'Still doing it then'.
:)) Yep, Neil is still doing it :D <3 (this is the tumblr post)
