I could swear I made this Tactics meme before but I couldn't find it, so I made it again

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.
JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.
The public has spoken and we've put together a sheet (with character names and photos) for Fortune's Weave where you can vote for which kits you'd like to see! You can cast as many votes as you'd like: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material drive.google.com/file/d/1NRzg... Here's a small sampling:
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
this is the most charming prop I’ve made yet oh my gosh…I do in fact look like a child
delivered a pretty big work thing so as a reward I managed to catch a drop from DaffodilNoire (Etsy) … always on the hunt for medieval and art inspired jewelry so really adore these to wear with my usual all steel hardware 🖤
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
it’s kinda crazy how good the response was to Arcadion and they went “what if we never did original content raids ever again” and I just know in my bones this was Mr square enix yelling about brand synergy and I get the idea of FFXIV being a final fantasy theme park but cmon man
got so excited about this and my fiance @skulcat.com highlighted the part about Syndrome having no localization timeline and went “not today, Baroque boy” and just need to be real clear about what we’re missing out on here!!
"Steam became one of the most important platforms for us” – Japanese developer Sting chats with us about self-publishing, PC early access, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, the possibility of a Baroque Syndrome localization, working with Atlus, the industry, coffee, and more: www.rpgsite.net/interview/20...
started gundam tonight with iron blooded orphans. watched two episodes and I totally get why people love this stuff actually
very specific nerd thing but a fountain pen nib grinder is coming to my city and i got to book an appointment! i have two pens with the same kind of nib so i'll be turning one of them into something new on this cute lil sailor first snow
i have a lot of wonderful, amazing thoughts about the odyssey (i loved it!) but i think one of the most interesting casting choices is a trans man, elliot page, as sinon -- the closest thing to an innocent man in this adaptation, who is thrown under the bus by his fellow man in every possible way
playing ocarina of time for the first time since it came out (I was literally like 4 years old) and my fiance @skulcat.com literally kept yelling “YOU MUST UNDO 30 YEARS OF CONTROLLING THE CAMERA AND YOU MUST TRUST THE Z TARGETING”
I didn’t fully transition until my mid 20s (nonbinary -> transmasc from 25-30) but when I was very young (5-6) I would read manga with ‘bishonen’ type characters and strongly identify with them. men who were often confused with women was often how I felt when people called me a cute girl
I'm always so curious about when trans and nonbinary folks realized what they were. Like, my wife didn't realize she was genderfluid until well into her twenties, but I knew I wasn't a girl or a boy before I was even ten years old.

fellas, have you ever loved a woman so much you not only ruined her life, but literally every one else's, because you succumb to the pressures of your family and tradition and masculinity? aka fox mask silent hill f antagonist build thread #LutaviaBuildThread
got to pick up my paint palette I hand sculpted since it finally got fired! it’ll be nice to have something that holds my brushes too since I made this one custom for my needs ☺️💜 also great to have more purple tools
my fiance is finally cosplaying with me and you are not gonna BELIEVE what he's choosing as his first costume with me for magfest. i am crying
adding the Tactics Ogre OST to anything instantly transforms it into high art, a thing of aching, poignant beauty. here it is over images of Taco Bell
A cry for help! Turns out I’m going to run out of these beads for my project, and they were from Joann (RIP) Does anyone have these in their stash that they don’t need and would be willing to send along? 😭😭(Second photo is more true colour) Feel free to share! I’m desperate 🤣
