Tuesday, July 4.
Artists on Tumblr.
Artists and Tumblr go together, famously, like peaches and cream. Like Laurel and Hardy. Like Ratchet and Clank. Like the British and tea. Like Frodo and Sam. Like Columbo and a battered, beige overcoat. Like Solange Knowles opening a can of whoop-ass on (allegedly) unfaithful husbands in elevators. Like us, overdoing this analogy. 
Forgive us, we digress. Beyond peaches and cream, Tumblr's gifted artists have something for every palette: witty, exciting, exotic, melancholic, beautiful, brooding, and queer as hell. And the same can be said for whatever medium or discipline—you talented folk have got it covered. This wide and wonderful community of artists, creators, digitalists, colorists, printers, illustrators... it's all you. What's more, if fandom is your thing, there isn't a space or community in which our artists and makers can't thrive. Comics, fanart, illustrations... you name it.
There are millions of followers and thousands on thousands of daily posts, and we'd love you to dive in. We'd love you to contribute your work, too. Any style, any ability: it's all more than welcome, as any artist has a home here on Tumblr. Why not have a nosey around our Art blog? You can discover new original creators, submit work, and check out regular showcases: Meet the Artist, Creator Spotlight, or Artist Picks. Did we mention Artist Alley?
Happy Tuesday x

today, @thepeoplesjoker finally sees a theatrical release, starting in NYC and spreading like wildfire to theaters across the country and almost certainly beyond. here are some non-spoilery screenshots of my scene!
i’m honored to have been asked to be a small part of this film; i animated a scene right in the middle of the movie in 2021 while i was finishing my senior year of college, as well as matte paintings used as backgrounds throughout - and recently i got to animate the logo, designed by @michaeldeforgecomics!
all movies take a herculean collaborative effort to get made, but the people’s joker has been supported by the good will of so many people just to get seen. @veradrew22 and @brilerose have made THE true trans comic book movie, equal parts funny, thrilling, emotional, and reflective of modernity. it’s been one of the most artistically rewarding experiences of my life, and i’m beyond excited for y’all to finally see it. i’m obviously biased, but this is my favorite movie, and it would be even if i didn’t work on it. she’s finally free and getting her due, and i couldn’t be happier!
if you somehow want more of me waxing poetic about TPJ, check out the review i did on my letterboxd. and to see other people do it instead, peruse one of the fuckmillion articles that have been out in major publications throughout the production; it’s been in indiewire, variety, the hollywood reporter, polygon, @brokenpencilmag, even the goddamn new york times! that’s wild. the whole thing is wild.
do yourself a favor and see this movie; it represents the possibilities of embracing outsider art, and of a world where IP law is less “for narcs, by narcs.”

Wow. Really great songs and videos that Maren released today. Please give it a watch! The article below is also a really good read. She’s so real for exposing the cracks in the facade of country music. Love this for her! Everyone go support Maren 🤍
Maren Morris calls her new two-track EP “The Bridge,” which is just one of several metaphors she deploys in imagining a path out of the world of country music in which she became a star.
On “The Tree,” the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter says she’s “done filling a cup with a hole in the bottom”; “Get the Hell Out of Here” opens with the admission that she “watered the garden but forgot to fill the well.”
It’s not that Morris, 33, has tired of twanging guitars or neatly cornered rhymes, both of which define the tunes that came out Friday, a decade after she moved to Nashville from her native Texas, first to write songs for established country acts such as Tim McGraw and later to sign a major-label record deal of her own. Rather, she says she’s leaving because of what she views as the country music industry’s unwillingness to honestly reckon with its history of racism and misogyny and to open its gates to more women and queer people and people of color.
“I thought I’d like to burn it to the ground and start over,” she says of country music. “But it’s burning itself down without my help.”
The singer acknowledges that, as a white woman, she’s benefited from the system as it is. Yet Morris, who says, “Allyship begins with waking up from something really comfortable,” has been vocal in her criticisms onstage and on social media, where she tangled last year with country star Jason Aldean and his wife over young people seeking gender-affirming healthcare. The spat even made it to Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, where the right-wing host described Morris as a “lunatic.”
“The Bridge,” which marks Morris’ move to Columbia Records from the label’s Nashville division, arrives accompanied by a music video for “The Tree” in which she strolls through an emptied-out small town as she hears “the sound of a new wind blowing.” A sign welcomes visitors to the place “from sunrise to sundown” — a reference, perhaps, to the threat of racist vigilantism many perceived in Aldean’s recent “Try That in a Small Town” video; other signs in front of boarded-up buildings read “GO WOKE GO BROKE” and “DON’T TREAD ON ME.”
Morris is currently at work on her next LP with prolific pop producer Jack Antonoff, with whom she recorded “Get the Hell Out of Here.”
Obviously, being one of the few women that had any success on country radio, everything you do is looked at under a microscope. You’re scrutinized more than your male peers, even when you’re doing well. So I’ve had to clear all of that out of my head this year and just write songs. A lot of the drama within the community, I’ve chosen to step outside out of it.
Did that drama — your feud with the Aldeans, let’s say — push you in that direction? Or were you headed that way from the beginning?
I’ve always been an asker of questions and a status quo challenger just by being a woman. So it wasn’t really even a choice. I didn’t think of myself as a political artist. I just wrote songs about real life through a lens of deep respect for my country heroes. But the further you get into the country music business, that’s when you start to see the cracks. And once you see it, you can’t un-see it. So you start doing everything you can with the little power you have to make things better.
That doesn’t make you popular. But I don’t think that biting the hand that fed you is a real thing. It’s kind of a fallacy at this point, with all this fear-mongering about getting Dixie Chick-ed and whatnot. Country music is a business, but it gets sold, particularly to young writers and artists who come up within it, as almost a god. It kind of feels like indoctrination. If you truly love this type of music and you start to see problems arise, it needs to be criticized. Anything this popular should be scrutinized if we want to see progress.
But I’ve kind of said everything I can say. I always thought I’d have to do middle fingers in the air jumping out of an airplane, but I’m trying to mature here and realize I can just walk away from the parts of this that no longer make me happy.
Does your leaving country music mean the libs have been owned?
I’m sure some people may think that. And I would say, “Feel free. Go ahead.” I don’t want to have an adversarial relationship to country music. I still find myself weirdly wanting to protect it. But it’s not a family member. That’s the f—ed-up part, is that I’m talking about it as if it’s a person, but it’s not. So it’s a lot of deep deconstructing that I’m still unraveling.
These songs are obviously the result of that — the aftermath of walking away from something that was really important to you and the betrayal that you felt very righteously. But also knowing there’s a thread of hope as you get to the other side. I hope it comes across that way because I truly was in a space of hope when I wrote the two songs, even though “Get the Hell Out of Here” is really heavy. It’s about disarming that trauma and saying, “I can’t bail water out of this sinking ship anymore. It’s so futile. I choose happiness.”
Whose career path do you admire in terms of the ability to move from one style to another?
Certainly Taylor Swift. She’s been such a great friend over the years and has been really helpful in ways she probably doesn’t even realize in conversations I’ve had with her about everything you and I have been talking about.
You performed a song with Swift at an Eras tour stop in Chicago. What did you think of the show?
It was so inspiring. Performing for 3½ hours, three days in a row — no one can do that but her. And it’s such a supportive crowd: 90% women and 10% gays and dads. I’ve never felt so safe at a live show before. No one’s hammered or puking in the aisles or getting into a fight or anything. It’s just so joyful. And the way she makes that huge stadium setting feel intimate is astounding to me. In Chicago, I started running down the catwalk toward her after I came out of the hydraulic lift. She said, “Take your time,” and I was like, “OK, good, because this thing’s a mile long.”

BioWare Blog post: "Dragon Age Day 2022"
"Happy DA Day from Thedas and BioWare!
Tumblr media
Our fans are the best. The best. How else could we describe a community so passionate, and compassionate, that you not only created your own holiday to celebrate all things Dragon Age™, but you did it for charity? For some, today is merely December 4th—but for us, it’s Dragon Age Day (aka DA Day), and we’d like to be the first to officially welcome you to this year’s celebration!
We have a lot to celebrate this year, with Dragon Age: Dreadwolf deep in development and Dragon Age: Absolution just around the corner. And of course we’ll be celebrating the whole franchise alongside you, including a new short story, a small collaboration with The Sims 4™, and discounts on the games across all platforms. But let’s kick things off with your contributions.
First, take a look at the amazing art atop this post. 32 different artists from across the community were kind enough to contribute their unique takes on the companions from Origins through Inquisition. It’s a gorgeous piece, and we couldn’t be more honored to have such a talented and passionate community. If you want a closer look at any of the pieces or want to follow the artists, check out our social channels throughout the day to see them posted individually!
Tumblr media
Since 2018, the Unofficial DA Day team has raised money for a charity of choice, starting with $6,795 for the Child’s Play charity in that first year. By 2020, they had essentially doubled that, raising $13,560 for the Legal Defense Fund, and in 2021, they doubled it again, notching $27,224.69 for the AbleGamers charity.
Tumblr media
This year, they’re partnering with the Trans Empowerment Project, a non-profit organization with a focus on supporting the most marginalized people in the queer community, such as disabled and trans people of color. TEP addresses immediate needs of the community through efforts like transportation assistance, legal assistance, and deliveries of food and clothing—among many other support services—and also collaborates on broader outreach programs to help combat systemic oppression and inequality. 
To support this vital work, they collect donations through Tiltify, which allows them to offer all kinds of rewards to supporters. It’s quite an impactful production, with all donations going straight to the charity. As in previous years, BioWare is glad to help support this work with contributions of our own. If you’d like to join us, head over to the donation page for more details.
Tumblr media
This DA Day is particularly exciting because it comes just five days before the launch of an entirely new Dragon Age project: Netflix’s Dragon Age: Absolution. Come December 9, you’ll be able to dive into a whole new Dragon Age animated story, a six-part series created in close collaboration between BioWare and Netflix.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the latest trailer, you really need to because it is fantastic!
Before you ask, we’re sworn to secrecy on any new details—but we can say that you should keep an eye out for interviews about the project, both from our developers and from the team at Netflix as the series rolls out over the coming weeks. 
…okay, maybe we can share one thing:
[new Dragon Age: Absolution character posters]
Tumblr media
Friends, we wanted to thank you for your years of amazing support of the past and future of Dragon Age. We’ve had a particularly fun and fascinating year working on Dreadwolf, reaching the Production phase in February, announcing the Dreadwolf name in June, and hitting Alpha in October—along with showcasing some of our amazing team members throughout the year. 
We wanted to close out this year with a little treat to celebrate Dragon Age Day in our own way by sharing a key cinematic from the game. Enjoy!
[new in-game cinematic]
The Dread Wolf awaits.
Whether you’re celebrating with us in-game, readying for Absolution, or waiting for Fen’Harel to make his move, we’re right there with you. Keep an eye on our social channels for more fun stuff today, and as always, have a happy Dragon Age Day!
—The (Dread) Wolf Pack"

I need help affording my prescriptions!
I'm finally able to start taking T!! This is very exciting for me, but due to the nature of the NHS in this country, my first prescription will be via private care- meaning that it will cost me over £100!
After I have sorted shared care with the NHS, I will still need to pay a monthly fee to afford my HRT as well as the meds I'm already taking for depression and BPD as I do not get prescriptions for free on the NHS.
If you would like to help me, here are a fews ways you can get involved!
D*nate to my GoFundMe
Tip me on Ko-Fi!
Commission me for art!
Support me on Patreon!

Getting exhausted of Atheists (not all) I come across doing the same thing they felt upset by Christians. Hypocrisy. The same reason they hate Christians.
Tumblr media
These people continue to stereotype and ignore that many Christian’s’ beliefs have changed radically since the early 2000s. I’m sorry you were wronged by a hypocrite, but this isn’t you as a young person. This is today and now. Things have changed for the better. These people demand Christians be open-minded, but they judge people immediately for being Christian. Nowadays, even people who believe in a higher power are *afraid* to tell people their beliefs because of this.
I have even seen small churches in TX having signs that support LGBTQ or BLM. I’ve known many many kind and good Christians all my life who I know weren’t straight up hypocrites, including my mother and many of her sweet friends in TX. But no one is perfect of course. They support minorities and their freedoms and have no problems with any form of entertainment (like magic or witchcraft or gay people). Ive even known a friend who is trans who is Christian and they fight to keep the rights of the LGBTQ and other marginalized communities and they’re Liberal too. Many philosophers, artists, scientists, and writers were theists of some form and some even believed Christianity, at its core, had some good ideas. Even Lady Gaga, one of the most non-conservative people, is open about being Catholic and has even addressed God and Jesus in her music. All These people don’t deserve immediate or indiscriminate judgement from people who don’t want to be indiscriminately judged themselves. They’re becoming the hypocrites they always hated. It’s ridiculous. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
So, it really just makes these people look bad when they continue to bash people just for their philosophical and world beliefs just because people have been hypocrites in their lives in the past. It feels like they’re trying to deal with these traumas by rebelling unnecessarily or trying to convince themselves of something (idk what that is).
To Atheists (not all) who think like this: find a way to not be judgmental the way atheists feel like they’ve been judged by Christians. It’s that simple.
I’m not even judging these people so much as pointing out that their actions are, in fact, hypocritical when they’re the ones hating on others who they *think* are all hypocritical based on their beliefs.

Trans artist in need! New jewelry added to our Ko-Fi shop!
We just uploaded some new items to our shop including some materials we haven't used before! We have a lot of faerie ball necklaces, which are made with small glass ball pendants! We have a huge variety to choose from, as well as more to come!
If these appeal to you, we are a disabled trans lesbian artist who is currently escaping abusive & unsafe housing. We are not safe where we are and need to relocate as soon as possible. You can find our shop here, and if you are unable to support, reblogs & sharing via word of mouth help more than you realize. Thanks for reading

The new album I Co-Executive Produced is out now! Repost from @michaelxomichael • To Build Me a House THE ALBUM Is finally yours. I am so deeply proud of this body of work. The last two years making this has required deep reflection, pain, and ultimately, transmutable joy. I think of this record as the welcome home to myself I didn’t know I needed. Thank you to my co-executive producer @reubenbutchart for being co-pilot, teacher, confidante, musical partner, and generous friend every step of the way. I love you Reubs. Thanks to everyone who said I couldn’t, and the many more who believed I could, because I am doing it ALL, honey. Thank you @getbetterrecords for championing this album when it was still a collection of 36 demos. Especially @alex_licktenhour & @kojisaysaloha. I love you both. The credits, the songs themselves, and the short video clip I made to “House in Vermont” in the last slide express the way this album has molded me better than words here can, for now. I hope you immerse yourself in these stories, in this world that I’ve risked everything to build. This album art! Was based on a simple photo taken in Tompkins Square park in NYC’s East Village by family @ralvarezartcom … that day I’d taken my first day of hormones. I was so giddy and over caffeinated, and this artistic portrait is how Richard remembers me, looking toward the future, my hair a flowing crown of glory, my skin glowing, my smile content. My dear @brett_lindell photographed Richard’s artistic rendering, lighting it carefully, handling the work with the preciousness of someone deserving of focus, time, and undivided attention. That is how I recommend you dive into this work. Immersively, expansively. I hope you love what you find. And I hope you feel inspired to add whatever you need to your own home, which as we know, is wherever you are. I love you. Michelle PS. Today is @bandcamp Friday and if you really believe Black Trans Lives Matter, you’ll support me by buying this work there, which cost me a small fortune to make. I want to keep making elevated work that feeds the soul. Let’s do this together. ❤️ https://michaellovemichael.bandcamp.com/album/to-build-me-a-house https://www.instagram.com/p/CkixYJgM3RN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Magnus & Trans Day of Visibility
This is really scrambled; my apologies. The words are fighting me today. But I wanted to post something for Transgender Day of Visibility, and dammit, I forgot to prepare something.
I am now 22. A damn good age, if you ask me. I like repeating numbers. I am 22, and I am a man, and I didn’t think I would ever get this far. I was an incredibly sad teenager that was fueled by hatred. Of the world, of myself. I thought the world was a shit place where everything sucked.
It turns out, I was so angry for a large variety of reasons. One: I was neurodivergent and fording the world without any sort of help. Two: I was living in a homophobic place as an openly queer teenager. And three: I was transgender and had no ability to live as myself. 
Living as a trans man for 3.5 years (my tranniversary is in October, one of my favorite months) has made my life so much better. My husband has done nothing but support me in my transition and ensured that all of our friends (and his friends, as well) are using my correct pronouns even when I’m not present. I have trans friends that I love with my entire heart and soul, both online and in person. Even though I’m technically presenting as a “woman” with my work and parents, I present so masculine that pretty much everyone believes I’m a butch lesbian in denial, which—y’know what? I’m willing to accept. It’s better than presenting an aggressively girly persona that makes me miserable. (And I hope it makes coming out in a few years easier.)
What I’m trying to say is: I love being trans. I am so incredibly fortunate to have the support system that I do in my life. My family might not know (or support me when I do), but the family I have found are some of the most important people in my life. They make me the happiest I have ever been. 
My body might not be what I want. I have DDD cups. For anyone unaware, that is overly-complicated bra speak for F cups, the size of small cantaloupes, which cause me a significant amount of back pain and dysphoria. (I’m trying to, at the least, get a reduction.) I have quite wide hips, and the babiest of all baby faces. I’ve been carded in a sex shop before—multiple times—because I have the face of a young high schooler. 
But I’m working on making my body mine. My tattoos make me feel more like myself. There was this Inked video I was watching where a woman said that it didn’t feel like her artist was giving her tattoos—it felt like they were scratching away her skin to reveal what was always there. I can’t agree more. All of my tattoos feel like they were supposed to be there. I feel like myself with them. My green hair both makes me more visibly queer and happier. I mean, green hair, where I am, basically makes you a freak. 
And I am! I’m a huge freak. A creature. A critter. I am what the people call me. I embrace being a freak, a crime against nature, an inhuman monster. I’m queer, and I make my own rules about what I am. Who I am. I think that’s what I love most about being queer. Being weird and gay and manly makes me happy. It makes me feel right, and real, and good. 
What can I say? There are so few words to use to describe trans joy other than the bright feeling of sunshine on your face and the lack of weight on my chest. (Metaphorically, of course: remember the F cups.) 
Trans joy is a song, a chant, a protest. Trans joy is what I feel when I wear my ridiculous goth clothes, what I feel when my friends and I are laughing about stupid shit, what I feel when I wake up to another day with the sun on my face and bird song in the wind. There’s no better feeling than the happiness I feel every day I live as the man I’ve always been meant to be.

Tips for Pre-T or Early-T Transmascs That I Wish Someone Had Given Me
A list of tips that I, a transmasc dude, learned overtime that I wish someone had given me a lot earlier. Obviously, these aren't going to work for everyone, but I've found doing these things to be really helpful.
Shave your face every day you can/want to. Even if you "have no reason" to shave your face, do it anyway. Tell yourself that being cleanly shaven is a choice you make everyday. Also, most cis dudes with no facial hair are clean shaven, meaning none of that peach fuzz stuff, so this can actually help passing. As an added bonus, shaving can make the hair grow back faster, thicker, and fuller if you plan on wanting to grow a nice ass beard later in life.
Find a work out routine. Don't exercise thinking "I need to get thinner/broader/whatever else so that I can pass." Just don't. Exercise can only change your body type so much, and if you bank on it fixing all your dysphoria just to find out it doesn't, you'll get discouraged. Instead, use exercise to feel good about your body in other ways: feeling stronger, more energized, ready for a good nights sleep, etc. Feeling good about your body in this way can also help increase self esteem.
Write affirmations and nice letters to yourself. Whatever you need to hear, whatever you wish others were saying to you: write it down! Put sticky notes on your walls, fill a notebook with nice thoughts, etc. Need to hear that you're looking super masc today? Write it down. Say it aloud. Be your biggest supporter. Even if you don't believe it at first, you'll start to. This tip applies to literally everyone, by the way.
Packing is kind of over rated. Obviously, it can be gender affirming for some, and that's great! But most people probably aren't looking at your crotch, so if packing is uncomfortable for you, don't think it'll make or break your appearance. If you prefer not to, that's literally fine.
The same goes for binding! Binding is--unfortunately--just fucking uncomfortable. You don't have to do it all the time. A baggy hoodie and a decent sports bra can be lifesavers if you need a break from binding but are still feeling self conscious, too.
Do your best to stop giving a fuck. Don't let other people's opinions hurt you. Not everyone will support you. Not everyone will like you. That's fine. Again, be your own biggest supporter.
Find trans friends. Set up your HRT appointments together. Remind each other about your injections. Support each other. Again, not everyone will support you, so find people that will.
Plan your medical course of action carefully, especially if money is a concern. Decide your prioritize. If you think you would benefit best mentally and physically from starting HRT, do that first. If you think something else--therapy, anxiety meds, an operation--would be more helpful, then do that first. You always have more time. There will be more time, more money, more opportunities. Figure out what would be best for you to do first, and go with it. It'll help you in the long run.
Beware voice training tips. Trying to force a deep voice can hurt like a motherfucker. Also, when you're voice begins to drop, you may have to adjust the way you do certain things, like singing for example. Don't push yourself to make your voice uncomfortably high or low. If it hurts, just stop. Losing your voice or damaging your vocal cords is certainly not worth it.
HRT takes time, surgeries take time, life takes time. Take a deep breath. It's hard to feel like you're stuck in one place, but it will not last forever. Small steps forward are still steps forward. You've got this.
Bonus: Literally nothing is required of you. HRT, operations, and literally everything on this list is entirely optional, and it doesn't make you more or less valid than anyone else. (Just stab anyone who says otherwise /j)

this is the only time I'll be asking you for money, but i can't not try and ask for some LGB solidarity even on here.
Lezbejska i Gej Solidarna Mreža - LGSM (Lesbian and Gay Solidarity Network) is a Serbia-based LGB organisation that has recently launched LGB Krov (LGB Roof), a project aimed at providing emergency and middle-term housing assistance to LGB people in danger of homelessness due to homophobia, as well as other forms of assistance on their way towards financial independence. In order to maintain the regular expenses of our safe space (rent, emergency expenses, etc.) we've launched a Patreon page for anyone willing to set up a regular donation, as we have already began supporting our first resident.
As both openly left-wing and gender-critical, LGSM is prevented from any mainstream donation sources that impose a queer/"LGBTQIA+" agenda, and rests on individual donations made in solidarity with our cause. Being based in the Balkans, even small donations of 5-10€ could go a long way in helping us maintain this project. To say that I would be grateful for any help would be a dire understatement and would go a long way to proving that the LGB position can do more than argue about trans-related issues.
(Patreon page also provides translations to English on its posts.)
