Hi there! I’m Stars, a queer digital artist, and I am in the midst of an international move taking myself and my two children from the US to Italy. This is an opportunity that I’ve waited for over five years to receive, and was heavily delayed by the pandemic, but I finally have my move date!

While I’ve been saving a long time to make this a reality, the budget is tight. To cover some final, unexpected costs, I’ve decided to offer digital art commissions.

I’m primarily a fantasy artist specializing in furry and anthro, creature designs, D&D and tabletop character portraits, magical vistas, sigils and heraldry, and dream illustrations. I do branch out to a range of subjects and styles, so if you have something else you’d like to commission, drop me a line and we can discuss it! You can also see examples of my non-tumblr-friendly work on my Furaffinity (CrowOnFire). My terms and conditions are here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/47580454/

If you prefer to donate directly, I’m accepting donations for my move via KoFi (Ko-fi.com/atreefullofstars).

I appreciate every one of you for any help you can give by donating, commissioning, or sharing this post. Thank you!

ALSO!!!! OCACD housekeeping post that I forgot to put in the notes of my new chapter so I’ll both post it here and update it there as well for any who haven’t read it yet: my next update will probably be posted mid next week due to travel (booooooo) bUT I might toss up a one shot (perhaps my Beloved POV of Just A Little More) sometime this upcoming weekend if I get the chance bc posting weekly helps me stay on schedule in the ole’ mind, writing wise 😌

!!!!! TRAGEDIEGH. A Beloved POV of Just A Little More. That sounds AGONIZING. I need it like I need air.

I think it needs to become common knowledge that “inability to read social cues” can show up as overcompensating.

You don’t know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don’t know if someone is irritated with you, so you’ll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don’t know how much is expected of you at work so you’ll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

“Hardworking and quiet” should be as much of an autism red flag as “ignores rules and doesn’t know when to stop talking”. Or why don’t we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody’s eyebrow twitches, that would be great.

The funny part about the “I’m not going to coddle my kids, the real world isn’t going to be nice to them” kind of people is that once their kids are grown and out of the house, they spend years being continuously astonished to learn that people as cold and mean as their parents are actually extremely rare.

_{the curse of the black pearl vs at world’s end}

I love this because you have Elizabeth who couldn’t even defend herself in the first one to becoming this master sword fighter and leader of ALL pirates. You watch Will who was just this angsty little brat head over heels for Elizabeth become this grown man who faced all his demons.

and then there’s Jack

“Elizabeth who couldn’t even defend herself”

Do you mean…

Elizabeth who improvised a weapon when pirates invaded her bedroom

Elizabeth who could have run for the exits but instead went straight for the swords

Elizabeth who demanded to speak with a pirate captain and then used the leverage she had to get him to agree to her demands

Elizabeth who CAME AT BARBOSSA WITH A GODDAMN KNIFE and then fucking STABBED HIM when she couldn’t get away

Elizabeth who was trapped on a tiny island with nothing but crates of rum and a man she couldn’t stand and who used those supplies to summon a rescue party for herself

Elizabeth who made a rope out of sheets and climbed down the back of a ship to save the day herself when no one would listen to her about how dangerous the pirates were

Elizabeth who snuck onto the Black Pearl, knocked two cursed pirates straight off their ship, and rescued Jack’s entire crew

Elizabeth who rowed straight back into danger without any backup instead of running away with everyone else

Elizabeth who came to Will’s rescue with a blunt object and a one-liner

Elizabeth who proceeded to team up with Will to take down all the remaining pirates in the cave

Elizabeth who – without being asked or told what was going on – faked unconsciousness to create a distraction for Will’s rescue of Jack

Elizabeth who stepped in front of a ring of muskets, successfully protecting Jack and Will from being shot or captured

Elizabeth may have learned some impressive sword tricks in the later movies, but she was a Badass from day one.

Elizabeth Swann is a queen.

tbposting:

not for nothing but “chastity until marriage” and “lifelong strict monogamy” is every bit as much kink as piss or free use or knotting is. we just don’t call it that because those weirdly specific and highly fetishized sexual practices are institutionalized and considered normative.

what are traditional catholic values if not just an overly elaborate and widely accepted version of a breeding kink
