“traveler breaks the news to childe”, inspired by @murolo :)
from this post:
[image description:
aether and paimon are speaking to childe in the streets of liyue.
childe raises his hand to his chin thoughtfully, smugly smiling, saying, “la signora was a girlboss who was murdered, but she was murdered by the raiden shogun, who is also a girlboss, so it was still a win for feminism.”
aether makes a “what is wrong with you” face at childe, while paimon stares at childe, indignant and aghast. aether flatly begins signing. paimon crosses her arms and translates, “traveler says you would also benefit from being hit by lightning.”
childe purses his lips and replies, “i can tell this was said by someone with toxic masculinity. not answering it.”
the comic was inspired by an anonymous ask that reads: “princess diana was a girlboss who was murdered. but she was murdered by queen elizabeth, who was also a girlboss. so it was still a win for feminism” are you ok
reallyreallyreallytrying answered: i can tell this was sent by someone with toxic masculinity. not answering it.
go to baals house for the best trans healthcare in all of teyvat

while traveling around inazuma, yoimiya tells aether and paimon with a smile, “say what you want about baal, but she is a TRUE trans ally.”
aether and paimon look at her with identical expressions of skeptical confusion.
yoimiya, planting her hands on her hips with a grin, explains, “free bottom surgery.”
Flashback:
baal looks down from the roof of her house at yoimiya, who yells up from the porch, “HEY BAAL! YOUR COOKING SUCKS!” yoimiya pulls her eye and sticks out her tongue mischievously as fireworks go off behind her, spelling out the words, “at least i set my fires on purpose” midair.
baal looks down at yoimiya expressionlessly. without changing her expression, she raises her hand to point down and says, “I cast spell of explode your dick.”
a bolt of lightning comes down and strikes yoimiya in the dick. she has her hand raised while taking a step back with a grimace, and in the background is large bold italicized text – a keysmash indicative of the sensation of running into an electric fence.
image 1: baal leaps into the air ethereally, glowing and with her deity halo summoned behind her. she stretches her hand out to slam dunk tohma’s pyro vision into her statue, where all the other seized visions are embedded as well. in the background, a crying chibi tohma can be seen lying on the platform. the picture is captioned “stupid man thing im fuckin ballin” which is a reference to a viral tweet. “ballin” has been misspelled with baal’s name in it.
image 2: baal looking down at the viewer with her sword raised, about to bring it down, saying, “you are fucking died. game oval.” the dialogue is a quote from tumblr user milfgender.
the one where aether baits childe into taking on the full wrath of the rock
[image description:
panel 1: zhongli looks out at aether and paimon, who are approaching with eager expressions, and childe, who has a water sword out and beckons for zhongli to approach. “come on, hit me with your best shot!” childe says. “i can take it!”
panel 2: zhongli makes a doubtful questioning expression.
panel 3: paimon says, “pleaaase?” with huge sparkling puppy dog eyes. aether signs with an entreating smile, “it would be funny!”
panel 4: zhongli thinks, “can’t argue with that”
panel 5: zhongli declares, “i will have order,” and drops a meteor on childe’s head.
the last image shows aether, paimon, childe, and zhongli posing for a picture together. childe is smiling happily in the middle. he has his right arm slung over aether’s shoulder making a peace sign, and he is hugging zhongli close with his left arm. aether is making a smug expression, paimon is cheerfully floating behind him, and zhongli just looks mildly bemused.
childe is shown speaking a tumblr text post by user fungaloids, saying, “just got hit by a meteor and survived. #girl” while aether is labeled “meteor arranger” and zhongli is labeled “meteor summoner.”
[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]
Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.
the fact that we can’t drink sea water even tho its the most common type of water just bc its 3% salt yet we can safely consume multiple forms of literal poison and even benefit from doing so just blows my fucking mind
Peppers: Now that I have capsaicin, no mammal will eat me! ONLY BIRDS. THE BIRDS WILL SPREAD MY SEEDS.
Humans: oh my god this burns so good
Peppers: wut
poppies: at last, i have evolved my sap to the point where anything that eats me will sleep… FOREVER
humans who are about to invent painkillers: hey guess what
tobacco: finally i can grow in peace, no more insects munching on my leaves.
humans holding matches: my, my, what do we have here?
Mint: Stay off me bugs or I’ll poison you!
Humans:Yeah I’m gonna need to put this poison in my dessert and mix it with chocolate.
Aliens Studying the Planet:
The fact I didn’t know half of these are poisons says A LOT.
Plants: *evolve defenses to dissuade from being eaten*
feelings r like boogie boards. u can try and push em down under the surface but they will always and very instantly come right back up and slam u in the face. i think aristotle said that
it’s going to be an absolute shitshow though, not just the fourteen year old rape victim but the mother with three children who unexpectedly falls pregnant again or the woman whose baby has already died but doctors are reluctant to help until after she develops septicaemia, we’ve been here before and it’s an absolute shitshow.
Ireland was finally pushed to repeal the eighth amendment (the one banning abortion) to its constitution and legalize it because of the death of Savita Happalanavar, who was denied medical care because her (wanted but non-viable) pregnancy meant it might have lookedlike an abortion. The really fucked up thing to me is the way that signaling opposition to abortion results in legislators trying to ban care for ectopic pregnancies and doctors refusing necessary procedures just so they can signal their anti-abortion credentials to the rest of society.
I wonder how long it will be before the first Savita Happalanavar appears in the US.
and not just signal their credentials, every doctor needs to second guess whether they’re carrying out an operation that might get them prosecuted.
I really hate that pixel art is becoming associated with NFTs, pixel art rules
Maybe I should just make the opposite of an NFT, like I dunno, just a cute pixel art goblin anyone can right click+save for free and keep it forever and now it’s theirs
You can put a hat on it too if you like
I’m totally on board. I’d like to propose a name for him: Nifty the Goblin.
I love it, I’ll try to whip something up when I’m feeling inspired
…
…[BURSTS THROUGH THE WALL LIKE THE KOOL-AID MAN] HELLO, YES, HI, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CREATIVE COMMONS ART PROJECTS?!
…I mean, yeah, these sorts of opposite-of-NFTs Open Source Art things are something I dedicate a lot of brainspace to, and I actually have some suggestions!
Firstly, if you wanna do that, you’d probably want to use one of the organization Creative Commons’ licenses, to make the “anyone can use/save/alter it” official and legally binding, presumably one of their looser ones like CC-BY or CC0.
Secondly, honestly, this is a rad idea, something like Open Game Art’s various sprites but more as an art project than an assets thing, and i have an idea on how you could expand it further.
Basically:Fanpro but for Pixel Art. Which, for those who don’t know, Fanpro is basically this pool of character designs people contributed to for a while, released totally and utterly under a CC0 license, for anyone to use how they see fit! Basically the exact opposite of NFTs!
It ha a successor in ComPro, but that kinda sputtered out, but one based around a specific theme like pixel art might be perfect! If only as an F-you to NFTs!
…But yeah, that’s my two cents on that good idea.
Boosting this!
The opposite of NFTs has existed for a long time, it’s called open source and creative commons.
And to add something, Kenney has recently released this little app called Creature Mixer to create little animated pixel art sprites: https://kenney.itch.io/creature-mixer
It’s free and it’s terms of use forbid any use with any kind of NFTs for the sprites created with it.
so, with some thanks to the lovely people above and with no further aplomb ‘cause it’s just a goofy 16 by 16 pixel goblin, here goes:
Nifty is a little 16 by 16 pixel goblin who’s yours to own and do whatever you wish to do with.
Licence:You can copy, modify and distribute this work, even for commercial projects, strictly excluding those relating to or containing non-fungible tokens (so-called “NFT”) or blockchain (related) projects.
I’ve included a blown up 80 by 80 pixel version simply because I know from experience that Tumblr messes up small pixel art, but I’ve included a version in the original 16 by 16 resolution. While Sprytile is my pixel art software of choice, any image editor should do as long as long as it allows for turning off anti-aliasing, the bane of anyone who’s worked with pixels.
anyway, that’s enough pomp and circumstance for my silly little goblin powered by spite, although I do think it turned out pretty cute
I know nobody cares but I made a bunch of Nifty’s because he’s just so cute
I CARE HOLY SHIT THIS WHIPS
Shhh… sleepy
hi i love Nifty so i brought him into the physical realm
pattern:
OH i literally JUST finished my nifty piece today:
It’s Nifty the goblin in a nice little forest home with a pet cat and some friendly ducks nearby. <3
I love everything about Nifty, but Nifty and his nice little forest home are about to make me cry
