New pjsk group leaked real not clickbait ⁉️⁉️⁉️

Lol but fr hello i finally finished all 4 chibi sprites. Here s more of them

I wanna make intro posts for them soon, but i think i ll do that when i finish their sekai fits fullbody drawings. For now here s some basic info bout em under the cut:

Group of outcasts and troublemakers somehow end up in eachothers lives and start making music together, to convey the feelings they can't vocalise.

Mayumi - He's an aloof boy that doesn't listen to anyone and is difficult to converse with due to his weird, roundabout way of conversing with people, if he replies to you at all. He loves fashion and music, spends a lot of time trying out different instruments but he has an electric guitar at home that he plays often. Oh and he usually wears his hair behind his ears and no band aid, but he has a lot of piercings and doesn't wanna get in trouble at school, because it'd be a nuisance.

Ayase - Ray of sunshine that won't stop can't stop- but despite being so friendly and easy to get along with, he doesn't seem to have many friends. He always gets in trouble for breaking the unform code.

Haru - Transfer student with infinite confidence that doesn't back down from a fight. He's chill for the most part, as he doesn't really speak, ever- but if you try to fuck with him you will regret it. Got expelled from his previous school for various things like skipping class very often, breaking uniform code, fighting students and teachers, and generally being a menace.

Yuuta - World's largest chiuwawa. Is scared of everything and everyone, and has a stutter. He doesn't actually attend school irl, his anxiety turning him into a shut in- but in his free time he loves going around town and doing grafitti. He makes double triple sure nobody will see him though, because if he gets caught he will probably combust and die. Grafitti is the only thing that's worth the anxiety to him though.

Their whole story as a group is finding reasons to keep trying- as all of them have given up, in one way or another.

Tintin Tarot - A Fool's Journey, Part One. A collaboration with @josephscoat who knows a lot about tarot and other spiritual and cultural topics. They're a very talented writer too, so go check them out!

They first pointed out how perfectly the Fool tarot card mapped onto Tintin himself, and it led to me illustrating the Major Arcana as Tintin characters. I'm surprised Moulinsart hasn't released an official Tintin tarot deck yet, though knowing them if they did they'd probably just reuse existing art...

I wanted this set to reference the Rider-Waite tarot deck, as it's iconic! I tried to keep as much symbolism from this deck as possible, while incorperating a lot of appropriate Tintin references. It was important to us that none of these felt like a stretch, so we tried our best to find the best fit for each card, including the card's reverse meaning!

The Fool - New beginnings, taking risks, embarking on a new adventure, independence and blind faith. He even has a little white dog. Of course Tintin is the Fool! The yellow tights indicate he moves forward with self confidence, even if forwards means off a ledge. He carries a white flower, symbolising purity.

The Magician - Manifestation, creation, resourcefulness and inspired action. Calculus's inventions behind him are a nod to each element - the shark submarine represents water, the moon rocket represents fire, the sound weapon represents air and the white roses he creates for Castafiore represent earth! On the table we have Didi's sword, a bottle of Loch Lommond whiskey, a pentacle and King Ottokar's sceptre. This card is my favourite!

The High Priestess - Mystery, intuition and the subconcious mind. Madame Yamilah was the obvious pick, being canonically psychic! I incorperated the curtains from the theatre she performs at, as well as the columns Haddock knocks over, now in black and white to represent light and dark.

The Empress - Motherhood, protection, femininity. There aren't many parents in the Tintin universe, probably by design. Mrs Wang came to mind. I used phoenix motifs in her headress as in Chinese culture they are symbols of femininity, and are distinct from the fiery immortal birds from Greek mythology.

The Emperor - Fatherhood, authority, structure, control. Mr Wang runs a crime fighting organisation and is Didi and Chang's stern father. Dragon motifs represent masculinity, and I referenced ancient Chinese armour as a symbol of protection.

The Hierophant - Tradition, conformity. The Prince of the Sun sticks closely to ancient laws and traditions, but like the card's reverse, is open to new approaches, such as when he takes in Zorrino. I gave him some elements of the priest's clothing to symbolise the Prince's role as a religious leader.

The Lovers - Partnerships, duality and unity! Despite being identical, the Thomsons aren't related. They in fact come from different countries - one is from France and the other is from Switzerland. Me and my friend confirmed this fact at the Herge museum in Belgium! The card's reverse meaning, disharmony and loss of balance, is also very much in line with the Thomsons. I included the internet famous Gay Lions in the background!

The Chariot - Direction. Control. Willpower. These are the perfect descriptors for Arturo Benedetto Giovanni Giuseppe Pietro Arcangelo Alfredo Cartoffoli, the Italian driver that helps out Tintin and Haddock in the Calculus Affair. He may have only appeared for a few pages, and I may be the only person to get this reference, but he is a perfect fit. He drives.

Strength - Compassion, bravery, endurance. Not only has Chang demonstrated these qualities in Tintin in Tibet, he's had to endure a lot of hardship throughout his life, being orphaned, swept up in a flood and watching his home get torn apart by imperial forces. He still comes out the other side patient and compassionate, being one of the few people to recognise a form of humanity in the Yeti, and possibly being the one to change Tintin's entire political journey! Chang is draped with juniper berries.

The Hermit - Laszlo Carreidas is a lonely and isolated millionnaire who goes through a huge personality change. Being drugged with a truth serum makes him more honest and open. His base personality before his development fits with the card's reverse - isolation and a loss of direction.

Wheel of Fortune - Alcazar and Tapioca's conflict is an endless cycle of war for political control. The Wheel of Fortune represents cycles and inevitable fate. Reversed, it represents a lack of control - both Alcazar and Tapioca cycle between having absolute power and no power at all. I dressed Tapioca as Anubis as a nod to the original card!

Justice - I picked Miarka to represent Justice as she and her community are wrongfully accused of crime due to being profiled. Instead of a sword she weilds the golden pair of scissors she is accused of stealing, and the gemstone representing a third eye is the Castafiore emerald. The owl, a symbol of wisdom, and the magpie from the Castafiore Emerald sit beside her.

I love Feng Xin and Mu Qing’s beef with Hua Cheng, because on one hand I totally understand Hua Cheng’s one-man hate campaign against anyone who has ever hurt Xie Lian, bc that first banishment was BRUTAL and I’d go a lil crazy too if I had to watch someone I care about go through all that while being abandoned by their closest friends, but on the other hand if I didn’t know all that context and all I saw was my friend’s new asshole boyfriend’s secret statue collection I’d want to get them tf outta there too

[vigilskept]

this whole idea in both the fandom and the games themselves that being a people attached to their past & a lost civilization is a failing whereas a celebration of the present is something to strive for wrt elven & dwarven culture is something that reads as fundamentally western & liberal to me.

Help a brother out

Well in under some uncertain circumstances, I'm gonna be homeless for a bit! I knew this was going to happen for some time now, but the people who were supposed to give me proper information failed to do so until the last minute. I have commissions open and a ko-fi; anything helps!! I know the world is on fire right now, so please don't feel pressured to do anything if you cant <3

🛑 Stop the "SAVE Act" Voter Suppression Bill 🛑

THE BILL | EASY ACTION: 5calls /resistbot

April 10, 2025 update: it passed the House and has the votes to pass in Senate, IF they vote on it. Ask senators to vote no on cloture AND the bill.

It would require in person voter registration with birth certificates or passports that match your current name. This would unfairy impact BIPOC voters, plus:

Up to 69 million women whose names changed.

Trans Americans whose names changed.

Disabled Americans with limited mobility.

DV survivors who can't safely access their docs.

Rural Americans who'd have to drive hours.

Immigrant citizens not originally born here.

Working Americans lacking time off to register.

Those who can't afford or get passports.

Americans with executive dysfunction.

Trans and nonbinary people needing passports.

Voter suppression always helps Republicans and hurts democracy and THEY KNOW IT - they blocked ammendments aimed at protecting voting rights of eligible citizens. The GOP is afraid of fair elections. Spread the word, make some noise. Let's hold these cowards accountable. And pls take care of yourself 💙

It occurs to me to wonder, have you ever stumbled across the Society for Creative Anachronism?

I'm familiar! My main problem is that 1. I'm just not that interested in roleplay, fantasy or historical, and 2. most of what I make tends to fall more in the Edwardian-Victorian stylistic range or is just straight fantasy, not really that historically based. I love to learn how stuff was done but I am an adapter, not a recreationist. Like, I'm aiming more for Howl Pendragon than Arthur Pendragon, y'know? Most of the SCA groups in my region tend to land pretty solidly medieval.

Honestly, I'm a set designer/stage manager left loose without a theater to haunt. That is genuinely where my base skillset comes from, but my work and ceramics schedule is not well adapted to letting me get involved in theater. I am really not a person that enjoys acting, and both LARP and SCA tend to involve a fair bit of it. (And yes, I know I don't have to role-play to participate but also I am not a person who is going to roll up to the event and then not participate, so I'm just gonna try my best and be mediocre, which is of course a fate worse than death.)

I've been talking with a couple friends about trying to get involved with local LARP or SCA groups just because we agree that we need more nerds in our lives but simply cannot sustain more DnD campaigns. I'm open to giving it a shot and then winding my way to more of an event management/set/props role, which is where I do best, but it's hard to figure out where to start.

We're probably gonna give this Hobbit thing a try and see how we like it, and then go from there. I have been scouting around a little bit to try to get the lay of the land here in Michigan; figure out what our options are.
