EVERYBODY SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MANS

reminder that trans men also fought for your rights and refusal to acknowledge this is tantamount to denying historical fact

btw the next time this will happen is 2052, so make sure you don’t miss this-

This James Somerton debacle is something else, and I mean it's definitely not the main thing we should be talking about now, but:

Never let it be forgotten that this man is determined to keep conning (and most likely plagiarizing) people from a community that is so vulnerable and in such need of good faith actors.

He is counting on hbomb's video's fame waning to hide his wrongdoings. And his wrongdoings are egregious - misinformation, misogyny, outlandish amounts of plagiarism. He is still hoping to squeeze money out of the same LGBTQ+ community he has been stealing from all along, because all we are to him is exploitable idiots.

Please pass around this information for the newcomers, when he inevitably tries it again and again. Don't let his exploitation of our fellow queer authors be forgotten, especially given the times we are living through.

heres most of the notes i have for brisbane meshi. i could draw this forever probably

hello little trans people in my phone 💙💗💙

i love you little trans people in my phone 💙💗💙

finding it necessary to remind everyone that it's seasonal. i promise you it's seasonal. everyone i know is out of their minds right now in some way or another. it's seasonal.

gonna start saying “you couldn’t make x movie today” but for reasons unrelated to political correctness

you couldn’t make Home Alone 2: Lost in New York today because the strict airport regulations put into place after 9/11 make it nigh impossible for a child to simply walk onto the wrong plane

You couldn’t make American psycho today because Christian Bale would actually kill Jared Leto for real

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

Nifty with one of my d&d characters. Short queens <3

EDIT: I FORGOT TES’S MOSS she gave some to Nifty

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Hi! Another program that is working to be opposite NFTs is the Extremely Fungible Token program! A bunch of artists have gotten together and released NFT-like profile pictures that are totally free to use and screenshot. They are all in the Creative Commons, and there’s an optional donate link for you to donate to the artist if you love their work. (That’s where my profile pic comes from!)

So yeah, check out EFTs!

Please reblog to enhance sample size 💋💕
