[ID: Digital drawing of Lup, seen from the waist up. She’s a tan elf with freckles and blond hair dyed orange at the tips; she’s wearing an orange shirt and a red jacket with the IPRE logo on it, as well as sun-shaped earrings. Lup is turned left, but glances back to the right and smiles. Her ears are pointed upwards. There’s a blue oval framing her head behind her. /ID]

Some sizzle it up with Taako fanart I did a couple of years back and seem to have never posted here for some reason!
[ID: Drawing of Taako, seen standing and cooking in front of a stove. Taako is a tan elf with short blond hair; he’s wearing a blue jacket-like dress with frilly purple sleeves, a pointed hat with a purple sash, and purple ankle boots. A red umbrella is strapped to his back. Taako is holding the handle of a pan over the stove; with his other hand, he drops a handful of spices into it. He smiles. /ID]
[Image ID: A full color digital painting of Rainer Michelle from The Adventure Zone Graduation podcast. She is a light skinned fat korean woman with a short blonde bob haircut with black roots and dark brown eyes. Her face is neutral with her mouth opened a little to show teeth. She is looking at the audience. She wears a large beige sun hat with white sheer drapes that fall over her head and shoulders. She wears a light pink off the shoulder long sleeved dress that has patches of leaves and flowers on the edges of the top and around the ends of her sleeves. Her dress has patterns of flowers. The flowers show in different colors of red, yellow, orange and blue. She is sitting on a chair that is covered with bushes of leaves that surround her. The background behind her is a light blue sky with white clouds. End ID.]
[ID: Five digital bust drawings of a smiling Lup featuring four different blonde hair styles with dark roots. In the first half her head is shaved, her curly hair reaching almost to her chin. The second hairstyle is a short curly bob. The third is a short undercut. In the fourth drawing her hair is long and reaches past her her shoulders. The final drawing is the same as the fourth, but with brown hair instead of blonde. All drawings are on red backgrounds of various shades. End ID.]
Playing around with hairstyles I think would be fun for Lup!
[image: comic of Kanae and Kyoko from Skip Beat, both in their pink jumpsuits. Kanae scornfully asks, “what makes you think you can DO this?” Kyoko responds, with a joyful expression, “Hate! I’m doing this for hate! and hate will see me through!” a couple of her little hate spirits float around her. end id]
Skip Beat is kinda like Legally Blonde if she immediately jumped to wanting him dead
It’s the Trans Day of Visibility! And I’d love to make friends with other trans/gender non-conforming Bill and Conan fans! As long as you’re over 18, please feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to meet new people ️⚧️

LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing “corrective” surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.
There’s a lot of bullshit around the gender binary and the “basic biology” arguement that breaks down the second you look in any college-level textbook. The amount of people born intersex clocks in at 1.7% of the world’s population and people try to pretend it doesn’t exist because of that low percentage. However, following that logic, they must also believe that people born with naturally red hair, 2% of the world’s population, must also be fictitious. Except that clearly isn’t the case. One hundred and thirty-two MILLION people are born intersex and the vast majority of them have their bodily autonomy ripped away. That shit has to stop.

Anyways, let’s start with what I thought I once knew about myself. When I was 18, I discovered I wasn’t like other girls. My medical records read “male pseudo-hermaphrodite 46 XY” & other BS terminology that pathologised my healthy/beautiful intersex body.
I discovered then that I had been diagnosed with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS); my XY body couldn’t fully utilise androgens (like T) and so I developed mostly like a typical female person externally.
For me, this meant that I had a somewhat “ambiguous” looking body (aka a non-binary body) and the doctors performed 3 unnecessary cosmetic surgeries to make me look more like a “normal” girl:
gonadectomy
Clitorectomy
Vaginoplasty
Not to mention, they lied to me about ALL OF THIS and then forced me to take Premarin (a low dose of estrogen made from extracting the hormone from pregnant mare’s urine)
Anyways, I got in touch with a new endocrinologist recently thanks to my therapist at @RushMedical who suggested I see him.
He did something no other doctor has ever done. He asked me if he could see my medical records, all of them, and then took time to read of them.
He even reached out to other experts in his field when he was confused by something.
Wow. We love humility in medicine.
Anyways, he ends up suspecting something is up and that perhaps my PAIS diagnosis is wrong.
He then orders me a genetic test. Thanks to covid it took almost half a year to get the results, but a month or so ago I got them back.
Turns out, I don’t have PAIS, I actually have something known as NR-5A1. Now this is big news mostly because 1. It supports my thesis that docs who deal with intersex kids don’t know shit…
And 2. P/AIS intersex folks are believed to not be able to utilise androgens and so we’re often only given estrogen (never T), forcibly “feminised” with fucked up “cosmetic” surgeries, and forcibly assigned female.
Doing what they did to me was fucked up enough, but now realising that they didn’t even have the diagnosis right – and that I can utilise androgens – is fucking infuriating beyond belief.
We need to #EndIntersexSurgery y’all like yesterday.
fair warning i just finished watching sophmore year and will be missing these good bad kids so hard

First pass at Bourassa-fying the hot boi turned into character design practice
[Image Description: A full color character sheet of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role drawn in a style reminiscent of Phil Bourassa. The image is titled: “Shadowhand Essek Thelyss aka Hot Boi™ c. Campaign 2 Episode 57, Art by GrantedDrop”. The image contains four views of Essek, a calm, mid-purple skinned drow with white hair and violet eyes who is wearing long purple-and-black robes and a hooked metallic shoulderpiece/mantle, and each image is accompanied by notes on elements of his design.
The first view is face-on and full body, and the notes read: “Short(!) hair” done up in a loose coif, “Mantle for status”, “Deep colors indicating Shadowhand title”, “Steeples fingers frequently”, “‘Pay me no mind’ simplistic & layered robes”, and “No feet visible”.
The second view is a zoom of Essek’s face from the previous view, and the notes read: “Perpetual *soft* smile”, “Luxon beacon Kryn emblem” at the hollow of his throat, and “Subdued ear jewelry” that includes ear caps, silver studs, and red-gem pendant earrings, the last of which appear similar to blood drops.
The third view is of Essek’s profile, and its note reads: “Dimple only on right side”.
The fourth and final view is ¾ behind and full body. He is in the process of casting a simple spell, about to snap his fingers with magic trailing from his index, and the notes read: “Little ahoge hair b/c it’s cute and there’s 'not a hair out of place’” with 'not’ crossed out, “Magic like strings/threads b/c fabric of spacetime becomes more geometric and "goes dark” when spell is cast", “Hint at "interesting underneath layers” with different color sleeves", and “'Nothing to see here’ straightforward lines and silhouette from back”.
Additional notes to the right of the image read: “Notes on Constructed Mien: Confident, Amuseable, Detatched, Unimposing, Enigmatic, Composed”.
Additional notes to the left of the image read: “Notes on Presented Form: "Avg. 5'8” (174cm) when floating", “5'2” (158cm) when standing, Robes and mantle obscure comparatively smaller frame".

Essek in Caleb’s level 10 jacket based on @flashhwing ‘s post [here] !!!
[Image Description: a full body drawing of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. Essek is wearing a purple jacket that is long enough to nearly reach his feet, is too big in the shoulders, and has its sleeves cuffed, indicating that its previous owner had a larger frame than him. On top of the jacket, he is wearing a long, striped grey scarf. Below the jacket, he is wearing a long sleeved orange turtleneck, as well as loose, high-waisted beige pants held up with a belt and tucked into his boots. Essek’s curly hair is long enough to pull into a short ponytail, he is wearing circular sunglasses, and he has a silver ring on his left hand ring finger.
Essek is floating and smiling while he waves rightward to people out of frame, and he is holding a basket of greens on one arm. Speech bubbles populate the right side of the image, with people out of frame saying: “Essek!”, “Hey, you made it!”, and “Hello!”. To this, Essek replies: “Apologies for the tardiness. The cats, you know.”. Out-of-frame people continue: “Come in, come in.” and “Tea’s on!”.
The background of the image is full of green plant life and trees, and the lighting is bright, but cool-toned. The artist’s username ‘granteddrop’ is overlaid on the image as a watermark. /End ID]

Image ID: the first image is the Marina and the Diamonds meme. It’s two pictures of the singer Marina, holding a microphone: in the first one she looks startled and in the second one she smirks in a horny sort of way.
The second and third images are redraws of the meme with Caleb and Essek respectively. Essek has a Marina-typical heart shaped beauty mark.
In the fourth image Caleb and Essek are holding microphones, leaning into each others space, inches apart, looking into each others eyes and smiling as they sing together.
