a raven father (i call him "pants") I've been feeding sometimes likes to sit outside my window and either wait for more food or just listen to the stuff I'm watching while I draw. Today's a colder day so he likes to fluff up a bit, and I kid you not :

this is an accurate representation of my view

One of the most iconic characters in Elden Ring is Malenia, Blade of Miquella. A character who was almost always present in the marketing leading up to the game's release, even if, funnily enough, she is an optional boss that can only be reached by entering a completely optional area of the game and only by the time you reach what could be considered the endgame areas.

She is an example of a character design for a woman who is supposed to be a powerful warrior who reaches a really good balance of feeling elegant, powerful and also feminine.

the interesting thing, tho, is how those traits are carried over to her second phase, when she goes completely naked except for her prosthesis and grows massive wings made of butterflies.

It doesn't feel sexual, it doesnt feel fanservice-y. It doesnt feel like the framing wants you to find her sexy.

But also, despite the clear signs of rot in her body, signals of the Scarlet Rot that she is cursed with, it also doesn't feel like it wants you to be repulsed by it. The Scarlet Valkyrie, in this image, looks almost like a reinaissence painting. Of Aphrodite's birth, or Michelangelo's "the creation of adam" or even his David.

In other words, she is beautiful. but not in the sexy way, not in the "pretty girl" way. But in the way the human form is beautiful. It is an example of how nudity isn't inherently a sexual thing, not something to desire or be repulsed by. And that finding it beautiful is not the same as finding it sexy. It can just be.

Basem Al-Khandaqji, a Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jail, has won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction for his book, "A Mask, the Color of the Sky," which is about a Palestinian who takes on an Israeli’s identity.

He was unable to recieve the Prize as he was jailed for three life sentences from back in 2004. The person who recieved the reward on his behalf says Khandaqji smuggled the book out of jail page by page so as to avoid the suspicion of Israeli jailers.

The book is about a Palestinian archeologist who assumes an Israeli's identity after finding the Israeli's identity card in an old coat. Nur, the Palestinian, becomes the Jewish Israeli "Ur," and he travels through society to explore his occupiers way of life.

Israel has refused to allow Al-Khandaqji the cash prize, as they claim payment for terrorists is forbidden. However, the fact that Basem won this prize, which is called the "Arabic Booker" is outstanding in itself, considering the lengths he went through to write and publish the book.

This book is a testament to Palestinian resistance and art, showing the lengths Palestinians go through to make their voices heard, and the excellence of their crafts.

Just a reminder that adult self diagnosis of autism is completely valid; the tests are not geared toward adults and miss plenty anyway. For more, may I suggest Eric M Garcia’s WE’RE NOT BROKEN or Steve Silberman’s NEUROTRIBES.

You know yourself pretty dang well and that counts.
