Needed a little creative outlet last night to pull myself out of some dark places, so decided it was time to draw up the Bigot Busters from my BattleTech fan-lore project I've done a few drawings like this before, but these two 'Mechs are special to me for their place in my life 💜 #Battletech

A conversation this morning with some friends reminded me about this play on the Warhammer is for Everyone statement that I posted a few years ago. #BattleTech

I drew a friend's Vampire The Masquerade character for their birthday!

Need a diegetic bent timpani hit whenever I expose my belly irl

Well I can finally announce what I am working on: OVERRIDE, a #Battletech fanzine! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

at the D&D table. straight up "rollin it". and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. My d20its

My flags might be red but my tail is redder (and bigger) 😌

It's purely for alchemical research, I promise 😇

Kenku can perfectly mimic any sound they've heard before.🐦‍⬛ As an example you can see how Bell Tolls is using Fiorésumé's words and voice in a conversation with her during a long rest.☺️

Go support some adult creators today! I maintain a list of queer adult games over on itch, which is a great place to start. A lot of these let you turn off the spicy elements, but they are all incredible stories worth supporting I also interview a lot of their developers over at enbykaiju.com

We hit 1k. Thank you, all of you. #Battletech

The leaked prerender scene featuring a trans story line that Disney/Pixar removed from their new show Win or Lose. (sped up a bit to meet the upload limit)

I'm handling this the ork way. FORM UP A MOB (Find like minded individuals in your area that you can organize with) STAY IN FIGHTIN' SHAPE (focus on your health) DAKKA (they got guns? We got guns.) ERE WE GO (don't isolate in a depression cloud)

Just need to vent something, and share some understanding: Don't fall for the intolerance paradox. You can be intolerant of people who would harm your community and your family. Kill the cop that lives in your head that says your hate makes you as bad as them. I assure you it doesn't.

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

Now that Bluesky has become #1 on the App Store, this is going to bring a lot more attention here, for good and for ill. So remember the Golden Rule of Bluesky: BLOCK AND IGNORE. Do not engage. Do not quote-dunk. Right wing bullshittery is a disease, do not spread it. Quarantine it.

My finest and most punk work, and a mascot mech for PIRATE POINT! I give you the command mech of Vers's Vandals, Rage #battletech #mechwarrior #ttrpg #minipainting #minis

Pregen player characters for @jessicashtebs.bsky.social

Two things I have fond memories of, combined into one—it's been 4 years since I've lived with cats, and it's been 10 years since I first played #stalker Shadow of Chornobyl. Now, I'm joined by my new roommates' kitty named Pocky while I play #stalker2! All the love to @gscgameworld.bsky.social

I wanted to draw her again... Ohr (original character)

The new video by @jessiegender.bsky.social on how generative AI is killing our ability to create unique experiences & killing the soul of art by removing the humanity of it is a powerful & painful glimpse into a techbro future without art To hell with generative AI It doesn't create, it destroys

I've had a little bit of movement on this but still very much need help if possible

When many YouTubers turn to Ai to save some buck and increase profit, Big Red stands out as a person of integrity who spends a lot of money to hire real artists and commission incredible new pieces of Battletech art. Not to mention that the channel content is top notch.

Probably should post at least *something* I've been working on myself, right? I pride myself in my little blorbotech drawings and at one point had the thought "what if I made a standee from one of these funny little doodles?" So I made this. #battletech

‘A memory of Nook’ Did some art of my captain from Sunless Sea getting a second-hand taste of the High Wilderness via everyone’s favourite giant creature. Technically NSFW because we all know the dress code in Nook. #sunlesssea #fallenlondon

If you're a BattleTech fan and looking for a way to support trans charities during a time when bigots are using the fandom as a way to hurt trans folks, the wonderful @swankmotron.bsky.social is selling these fantastic #Battletech Protect Trans kids shirts & donating the proceeds to charity 💜

This sort of crap is making it really hard to want to regularly return to streaming Can't talk about gender or sexuality, or bodily autonomy without it being considered "political"? So any queer game I stream is instantly political and I need to slap a warning on it? I'm so tired of this BS

I painted a thing. It is the first 'Mech-thing that I have painted for myself in 10 months. It feels good to have a new Nightstar for myself. For the Tamar Pact!

Things are feeling bad and sad today but I'm gonna try and make sure my weekend at #HalCon is a fun one! Join me Saturday for @opensketchbook.bsky.social 's Flying Circus!

I do hope international friends give some consideration just for the time being before making jokes about the US right now, just for our sake. we may be able to joke about in future, but at the moment it's a rough time. and trust us, we know.

if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting but I beg you please be brave please be safe please try to survive

Completed a #bloodangels veteran for a #warhammer40k painting challenge I took part in as part of my local gaming community! Was a lot of fun going back and painting a #firstborn model, so many flavorful details on them that you don't see with primaris... #spacemarine #art #miniature

Had the first game of a #Battletech #mercenaries campaign! My friend was gm'ing, and he ran a fantastic game—lots of absurd and fun moments. Had an absolute blast! #tabletop #miniatures #rpg

Last but most certainly not least—an #ultramarines Veteran Sergeant, wielding a combi-weapon and looking fierce! This was an attempt I took to practice my freehand on his shield...and while I'm not *super* happy with it, I'll settle for it for now! #warhammer #art #miniature

Next to last in today's minis dump—some members of Robin's Raiders! A #mercenary company originally from the Periphery, they gained experience and equipment during the Fourth Succession War fighting for the FWL. #battletech #art #miniature
