Hail and well met, my friend!
My name is Rune [She/They], a Queer artist. I like all things TTRPG, tieflings, glitter, and my OCs. I fandom hop from time to time, and reblog whatever catches my fancy.
✨Art Blog: Pastelrune ✨Etsy: PastelRune ✨Patreon: PastelRune ✨Ko-Fi: Pastelrune
Ask box is open!
Some of my benchmarks for seeing if my new adhd meds are working are "does the idea of getting in the shower (some days) fill me with an existential dread so deep I feel it in my bones" and "can i remember where I put my goddamn chapstick 10 seconds ago"
Who?
Jak and Daxter fans! Maybe you :3?
What?
A sfw art zine to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Jak 3! It will be printed, with a digital version available as well. There might even be a merch bundle ;)
When?
Mod applications open on April 27th. The rest of the projected schedule can be found here.
Aiming for preorders to open on the 20th anniversary (Nov. 9th)!
Where?
You can find us on Tumblr, Xitter, IG, and Bsky! We will also have a private Discord for mods and contributors.
Why?
JnD is a beloved franchise that deserves to be celebrated. Not much official merch exists, so it's time to make some of our own! And who knows 👀 maybe if we make enough noise, something will happen
Additionally, any profits from the zine will be donated to The River Otter Ecology Project!
All mods and contributors will receive a free copy of the zine.
We're looking for people to fill these roles:
Requirements: must be friendly, more-or-less organized, and able to work with a team. No experience required, though it's a plus!
More info to come when mod applications open on the 27th.
This is extremely difficult for me to ask, but I need some help. Wife and I do the best we can, but this is a long term issue for me, and I just need a boost so I can get on top of everything.
If I can just pay down a couple bills/loans, I can start to make a dent in the bigger pieces, like my student loans. But if we hope to buy a house someday, and I hope to get some much needed future medical treatments (braces/gender affirming surgery); I need to be able to get over the hill of debt.
Every cent is deeply appreciated, and I will pay it forward when I can. Signal boosts are appreciated, so, so much.
Thank you everyone. ♥
It makes me happy when they listen
environmental storytelling
last night I had a dream that I met Bill and Ted, and I complimented Bills crop top and said something about how I would wear crop tops if my body was less bogus and he put a hand on my shoulder and said “what’s truly bogus is the way you think about yourself” and Ted nodded solemnly and then I woke up

On related note, a few years ago, the Entomological Society of America officially discontinued the use of "gypsy moth" and "gyspy ant" as common names for Lymantria dispar and Aphaenogaster araneoides. L. Dispar is now known as the "spongy moth," so named for the appearance of their eggs, but I don't think a new common name has caught on for the ant species yet.
These changes we brought about, in large part, by the advocacy of Romani people in academia. You might not think that bug names are a very serious issue, but I believe that language matters. These species became known as "gypsies" because their attributes were likened to certain stereotypes and negative perceptions of actual Roma, so the continued use of those names reaffirmed those negative associations in the public consciousness. Slurs and pejoratives can never be truly decontexualized.
In my mind, one of the biggest obstacles that Romani people face when we are trying to advocate for ourselves is a lack of recognition as a marginalized group that deserves the necessary consideration. Even for seemingly trivial matters, like bugs or comic book characters, the way that people talk about us-- and talk down to us, when we get involved-- is telling. So, I always think that changes like this are a win, because it means that people are willing to learn and grant us the dignity we deserve. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to effect change in your own field, even arts and science.
hit with a sudden terrible craving for the lentil soup from a german deli in my hometown
the closest one is over 20 miles away, and i don't even know if they have lentil soup ;A;
we should be getting iced coffee and going to creepy and musty antique stores together why must we be separated by our screens…
if I forgot your favorite subgenre or misclassified a band feel free to argue in the replies 👍
The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol
you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared
This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times
you deserve people in your life who care about you truly and have the best intentions
I need to be kidnapped by kind aliens who take me to the alien vet and they know exactly what's wrong with me and they cure me and feed me nutritious meals
