I’ve had a bunch of people express their interest in buying my designs as stickers, patches, etc., and it’s always been something I’ve wanted to do. So here you go! 

Here are the designs currently available:

I plan to eventually sell prints and maybe even patches as well, so stick around for those. Help support a small artist in college and grab a fun design for your jacket or laptop while you’re at it– and if you can’t buy right now, a share here or on Twitter is a huge help. Thank you guys so much for your support!

haven’t done one of these in a HOT minute, so might as well break in the new blog with a new outfit lineup c:

i’m debating having his ghost form’s costume just be an inversion of whatever he’s wearing, especially since it’ll show up less.

in the middle of moving posts but i firmly believe vlad couldn’t kill jack if he tried and my god he TRIES. i’m not just talking near-misses either like i’m saying there are moments when vlad fully expects jack to be dead and he’s not

like imagine jack walking up to vlad & danny with a canteen and being like “this water tastes like poison!”. or vlad breaks bank for a cursed amulet that has no effect. or it turns out that blood blossoms are guaranteed to kill a living person if ingested (not in a supernatural way, just like…poinsettias or something) and jack EATS ONE and just ends up with indigestion.

i want vlad to be off his rocker with fury bc he killed jack he knows he did and meanwhile jack’s sitting on the couch, fresh as a daisy, eating fudge and as happy as can be

HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS

was gonna leave my comment in the tags but tbh i’m silent enough about this as it is.

seeing stuff like this is so upsetting because these terms were well known and widespread in the ace community but because of exclusionists many people stopped using terms like this because they felt uncomfortable and unsafe.

i loved these terms when i was in highschool, i loved the feeling of community, but i lost that because i didn’t feel comfortable openly and proudly calling myself asexual.

they’ve hurt so many people and damaged our community badly and i will never forgive them for that. we deserve to use our own terminology and feel safe within our community.

sometimes i notice i haven’t seen “grace” (grey-ace) in a while and consequently wonder if i made it up.

I remember ppl - even other ace ppl - saying the card suit thing was “cringey” and “straight ppl aren’t gonna take us seriously” (sounds familiar?) So i guess the community wound up abandoning it. We were also having severe issues at the time with aces being stereotyped as “childish/immature” for associating things like cake, dragons, and space with asexuality, plus in general as most aces just don’t “get” allosexual things in media and irl. We were starting to be viewed as ignorant, virginal, childish, losers, etc. I haven’t seen an ace-cake thing in a good while now.

This was the infancy of exclusionary influence on us. I didn’t realize it did more damage than just closeting us. Whole symbols and terms have been lost. Community has been lost.

I remember three-four years ago I got myself into the ace community on Insta, and I came across these terms. People in these circles would talk about cake, space, dragons, and the black ring on the middle finger. Then, a year or two later, ace content fizzled out (I thought it was Insta’s algorithm figuring out that I knew all this and didn’t bring me the old stuff) and young aces had no idea what any of these were - including the black ring. Finding out young aces had no idea what the black ring meant nearly snapped my heart in two - I proudly wore the black ring, I drew characters with it, and it was my quiet way of communicating to others what my sexuality was. I was baffled at the lack of knowledge - and it turns out that exclusionists got their hands into our community and snuffed us out. 

Anyways, we need to bring this back. I thought the card suite thing was cool, it taught people the different ways people can experience attraction, I loved making jokes about preferring cake, I loved wearing the black ring and talking about it with my fellow queer people at my highschool QSA club. 

I’m sorry, people don’t know about the cake or ring anymore? I remember being welcomed with spams of cake gifs, photos, and MS Paint drawings. I also distinctly remember that the block solo ring in the midle was meant as reference to the Ace of Spades (black, solo, middle of card). Only thing I didn’t know was that other aces could represent a more refined nuance. Let’s see if we can get this all rolling again.

Welcome to anyone who is interested in helping with the culture revival.

might as well post my new icon too! + a token attempt at a neon version.

strongly considering making this one and/or the old version a sticker, since people have asked after it for awhile.
