Hey everyone! For the new pin project, we want to make collections that portray a little story! For the first collection we are making a medieval band!🏳️‍🌈⚔️🎶

Here is an example:

The knights play the following instruments: Lute, fiddle, tambourine, flute, little harp What pride flag should go with what instrument? We were also thinking of adding a dancing pair! Personally I like an ace knight dancing with an aro knight. Does that make sense? Let me know! (:

Will share more sketches very soon!

This is such a cool idea!!!!!

I’m very specifically thinking about One Room Thrillers because “girl goes to save boyfriend/fiancé from the fae/supernatural on a long journey” is a piece of well-worn folklore - but very specifically folklore.

Not thrillers.

[Transcript:

So, I just saw a trailer for a film called Carry On which is a thriller about a security guard being forced to do something for mysterious figure. An hour later I'm still pissed off about it. Not about the plot of the film, at all, I love a good one room thriller (in fact it's pretty much my favourite genre, pretty much every play, every short I've ever written is a one room something).

The problem is I get halfway through the trailer and then they announce this:

 “You will do what we say because we have your girlfriend and/or wife.” It’s never “we have your husband”, “your boyfriend,” “fiancé”.

If it is being switched up then the object – yeah 'cause that's what this archetype is, they’re an object – to be saved is your father, your brother, your son.

Obviously, not to say this never happens, but it's really interesting the only way they'll let women save men as if it's within that maternal family concept. It's just this weird specific quirk of misogyny in film

I'm just saying that it could be interesting to put more men in situations.]

its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given

[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]

to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.

sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term

which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.

the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.

Agreed. Remember Trump and MAGA are essentially a Russia backed weapon aimed to destroy US democracy and inflict suffering on the American people and free people around the world. The “save America moment” is actually the “DESTROY America movement” and this is part of it. This is how they’ll cut critical government functions (like good safety regulatory bodies) under the false pretense of “efficiency.” This is probably essentially an effort to destroy the government and the services it provides (as well as its ability to resist Trump or Russia).

“So what’s your power?” Said the all-seeing super-powered individual, “Telekinesis” you said “……….so it’s not the ability to order around the invisible monster that follows you around?” “The fucking what?”

New Muppet Princess Bride drawing! I know some folks will want Fozzie to have a way bigger role in Muppet Princess Bride, but honestly I feel like the role of Yellin is perfect for Fozzie. This line in particular is already so very Fozzie, I can hear him saying it so clearly in my head.  Fun fact, I had to redraw the second panel because for some reason in my memory it was Westley that gave Fezzik the order to rip Yellin's arms off. I almost wish I left it, just because the idea of dear sweet Kermit asking for arms to be ripped off is kinda hilarious to me.

The story of Jordan Blisk, as told by Jess Ruliffson. I love reading trans stories with a happy ending.

The devil’s bargain that the military provides to marginalized people in this country is just infuriating.

Hi, there's a really good chance I'm imagining things, but isn't there a name/term for when we latch onto "cute"/marketable endangered species and that gives incentive to protect their habitat as well? Like when keeping one animal alive allows for the argument to be made to keep a different "uglier" animal alive, or put resources into protecting a plant species? I could swear there's a name for this but I can't find anything so I could also just be mixing it up with something

The term you're looking for is "Charismatic Megafauna" or and it works in two directions:

  1. People are more likely to identify with a large mammal than say, an ecologically vital insect or slime mold, especially if it's something regarded as "cute" like Pandas or Orcas or Elephants. People give more of a shit about the enviornment and do what you ask if they give a shit about the animal in question.
  2. Picking a Keystone Species at the Very Tippy Top of the food chain (Apex predators like Tigers and Orca), or that needs VAST amounts of space kept pristine (Pandas, Elephants) means that you also have to preserve THE ENTIRE FUCKING FOOD CHAIN UNDERNEATH IT, and by extension, the habitat all them critters live in. So signing a law to protect Penguins protects not just their land nesting sites but the ocean they hunt in and the fish they eat and this protects vastly more species than protecting The-Actually-Load-Bearing-Deep-Sea-Sponges would.

So if you were ever wondering "How come there's all these fundraisers for cute things like giraffes and gorillas? Where's the love for the ugly little guys like freshwater clams and earthworms?" the answer is "RIGHT BEHIND the big sexy poster animal. We sneak them in like hiding your dog's pills in cheese."

the thing about the mummy movies is that you really spend most of the time thinking "wow brendan fraser's character is so cool" or "man oded fehr is so mysterious and heroic" when the fact of the matter is that these two

are the absolute most batshit insane heroes in the entire franchise

these two are intellectual loner siblings with archeology backgrounds who read and speak ancient egyptian, hire a dude directly out of prison to take them to a lost city of gold, and fight mummies literally with their bare hands. twice.

no one in these movies stands a chance against the carnahans. frankly they're lethal in how willing they are to make the absolute and most undeniably deranged decisions. jonathan pickpockets a dude on fire. evy's resurrected from the dead and immediately remembers how to use sai. they're racking shotguns from a cliff in this scene and then proceed to blow away half the antagonists.

rick and ardeth should be so lucky
