Brigitte from Overwatch in a black crop top with the Overwatch Logo and orange jogging pants holding her phone up and taking a mirror selfie. Her other arm is raised, hand behind her neck to lift the shirt up and show her abdominal muscles
Anran is staring at her phone (possibly panic) with a blush across her face. Here pupils have become little hearts and there is a pink "jolt" on the side of her head
Brigitte's mirror selfie may or may not be doing things to Anran ☺️ #overwatch #fanart #wlw
One of the hardest + most important things to learn as a creative. Stop waiting to make your “opus” — keep going, get better
Glad for all the romantasy readers who're living in their golden age but when will fiction drenched in unsentimental cynicism starring women who give no fucks be on trend again (asking for myself and my career)

Michael B Jordan all ripped and oily holding a sculpt of his own chest as if he burst out of it and in his left hand and on the left side of his body he has a cool trench coat on but the right side is just bare body with deltoids and pecs and triceps and obliques and forearms and then he has on these green pants made out of Rich Person Material, probably some kind of rare animal leather and the lighting accentuates all the creases pointing to his schmeat oh yeah by the way even his nipple is shiny Rolling Stone did this

👋✨ Long time no see, everyone! I've been hiding away, spending the past year working on the illustrations for "The Fires of December!" In the meantime, I wanted to mention that the "Chimera" jackets are being restocked soon and pre-orders can be made at mynameistran.com/store/chimera-jacket.
I already backed, you can too!!
Okay, let me change things to be more upbeat. Indie authors, would you mind sharing which indie bookstores have been great to work with? Have they let you do signings or host launch events? #WriteSky
Congratulations!!
You’re welcome!
Happy birthday!!🎉

Riff on a Perfect Blue poster featuring Char Aznable. Char, as Quattro Bajeena, stares wild-eyed as he rears up to stab an unseen figure. Superimposed over him is an image of Char Deikun as he addresses the people of Neo Zeon.

Meme with a photo of a fountain drink machine with a cup sitting under two nozzles (red and blue), a hand pushing both buttons at once and liquid coming from both nozzles. The blue (left) drink is labelled "grateful for the insight I have gained from all my experiences" and the red (right) drink is labelled "still thinks some of that sh*t should not have happened". The hand is labelled "me".
If you wish you were a girl, but believe you aren’t one, I have such great news
this happened to a friend of mine yesterday
