I hope so but maybe only one episode next time.

>>1504
Today or sometime else?

>>1505
Idk ask on the IRC or the mygaypolycule or whatever the girl running the stream uses.

>>1503
no

>>1505
>>1507
I ran the stream last time. someone else can but i'm not hosting and encoding it

Maybe this one? It's a CIA documentary. There used to be lots of old documentaries about all sorts of countries and stuff from the 50s and 60s. i can't remember who produced them exactly, maybe it was the CIA. But I don't remember the others being as propaganda-y as this one, so maybe they were made by a different organization. Like they could've been done by Department of State or Commerce because I think they were intended for diplomats and such to watch before they go there. They'd talk about the local culture and economy and customs. They used to be all on vimeo, i downloaded a bunch but they're on one of my old drives now.

The audio on this one is a bit yucky here, but it's still an interesting old thing. i like seeing the old buildings and stuff. I'll have to look through my old drives to find the other series.

This is such a nice zine. I wish I could contribute but I really suck at anything artistic.

>>1455
thank you! but don't feel discouraged. flip out your phone and start BLASTIN photos. you can share it on our discord as well, we have a creativity channel as well as spring appreciation event going on right now, you can share some photos there.
if you have any artsy friends though, let them know about the zine :)

>>1456
Do you guys have any other means of communication aside from discord? I can't use it in this country. Anyway, thank you for your hard work. Also do you guys take non-fiction/creative non-fiction?

>>1457
I'm sorry to hear that. communication not really, but submissions can still be sent to my email.
non fiction sounds interesting, I could explore that. just keep in mind for issue #4 I dont really accept writing except poems. but if its something compact, lets say 4 pages max, I could put it in, why not.

>>1458
I guess I can translate some poems for you but I don't think they'd fit your zine. Anyway looking forward to #4.

I like the porn ones if they are good but sometimes I hate sexualizing certain chracters. Like I wouldn't wanna see Yotsuba turned into porn, but other times I think it can be fun.

Adding amateur art makes it into a unique picture book and increases viewer interest by a lot!

Whats the A9 fanfic about?

I think fanfics are a love letter to the original source material.

>>1424

It's basically about a high school girl getting kidnapped to be tested for an experiment that humans can defeat the aliens without the help of the Borgs; just using a katana. It's available on AO3 & its title is Test Subject: Yasu.

Though it's still incomplete, as I'm still writing the third chapter (and the reason it's taking too long is because of procrastination~ <3)

I was thinking of a little project, where I would 3D model some characters I love, or particular scenes with them. Really want to get good at one visual art.

I enjoy ecchi fanart, hentai not so much. Never had any interest in literary fanfics, except for one Hermiona - Hagrid smut.

Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace, by Evgeny Sedukhin, 1979

I'm really fascinated by massive works of industry and I really really love this piece.

>>1399
This is Soviet right? There's something hauntingly beautiful about it. Industry is the god that failed.

>>1399
Very Warhammer 40000

So much beautiful art in this thread. If I may be so bold, can some of you post the name of the artist for us plebs that want to look it up?
Attached are pieces by Amazio Komeko and Zakirsiz.

What forced romance? I remember there was only one scene… Other than that I liked how they didn't force it at all when other shows would've used her character for a "romantic interest" character.

wasn't this just an ad for kali linux and psyop people into the "ethical" "hacking" cybersecurity profession?

I'mma say what everyone is saying: Season one was amazing - I didn't watch it after the second season

>>1171
>and that just didn't fit. They never built up into it
It absolutely did, you just weren't paying attention enough.

>>1261
>just an ad
>psyop
C'mon.

spelunking through the horrors
unable to ascend
as I plunge down the depths
calmed by fluffy tail

That night, cradled by socks, Chicken Manfred dreamt.

He didn't bother to remove his surprisingly tiny yellow boots. Nor did he wonder how his chicken feet fit within them. No - he dreamt of Perfideous Simone!

…and a little bit about the time he caught a glimpse of Gertrude's cloaca…

…but mainly he dreamt of Perfideous Simone!

And He dreamt of Clouds, which are the portent of many things.
Most moist above sea,
Breaker of stone,
Irrigator of mulberry bushes,
Dwelling of the Flappybara.

Speaking as a casual enjoyer of fashion, I find myself having a lot of difficulty with finding clothes that have Good Fit on me as well as Good Designs. Often it is one or the other and it really stresses me out since I believe I do have cool tee shirts, it's just that their fit on me is kinda lame and not all that interesting.

I also find it even harder to find well-fitting clothes as a transushi. If anyone has advice, I'd like to know how to dress more femininely or androgynously whilst having a male build. I have a difficult time finding clothes that are comfortable, feminine, and still look good on my male body. I plan to start medical transition soon, so my needs are likely to change but some parts of my body will still remain very male for a while before I achieve a girlier shape. So advice would be appreciated whether that be buying guides, blog links, or even certain brands that can help with achieving androgyny.

Is that Connor?

If you're looking to get into fashion (albeit casually), I'd heavily suggest hovering around fashion magazine websites, fashion youtube, and others to find out what sort of looks and aesthetic proclivities you find yourself getting into. From there, you can use sites that have major focus on aesthetics like Pinterest or Tumblr (though they're both kinda shit for different reasons) to create inspiration boards that'll help greatly in dressing nicer.

>>1321
>I think another difficult aspect is finding the right places to wear things that aren't casual.
Imo, dressing for the occasion is overrated if you're dressing up. If you like dressing in a formal way, there's nothing wrong with going out like that.
If you still don't feel comfortable with it, then try to coordinate your outfit by using more casual pieces with the formal pieces being the main focus. Chapter 8 of If You're Gonna Dress Up, Do It Like This talks about it a bit, i mention this manga because a lot of what's in it may match your preferred aesthetics.

>>1325
Nothing wrong with that, but it still may be worth to take a look into some introductory fashion concepts like color coordination and silhouette just to wear what you find comfy but in a way that's more visually appealing.

>>1327
Since you like a baggier and androgynous look, you may like Garcia Ventus (The Rosen Rot) as a designer, fashion writer and inspo collector (her pinterest and twitter). Unfortunately she doesn't focus much on femininity which is what you want the most.

>>1328
> you may like Gracia Ventus (The Rosen Rot)
> she doesn't focus much on femininity
I took a look at her own personal blog and her instagram and she does have a style that I really fuck with, though it's often a little too monochrome and simple for my own personal sense of fashion, I prefer to wear complex textures in earth tones almost all of the time. Though I used to know someone who dressed almost exactly like her that (fittingly) was far more focused on androgyny than I was. Still finding great inspiration in her stuff though, thanks for the recommendation.

this is so adorable i kinda been a passive enjoyer of the fashion since a friend of mine ranted about it since they hate furries apparently, cool aesthetic, delicious drama and cat fighting, its def something i love seeing it from the far, pic unrelated

1st one is ita…

Hey, newroll, we say "sushirollymous" or just "sushi", not "sushinon". Hope you enjoy your stay!

I will say sushinon from now on.

Any suggestions how to get into Homestuck? I've started it a few times, but I haven't been immediately captured since I had no clue where the story was going

>>1320
Just read acts 1-4 as normal
Or you can just put on a YouTube video that has voice actors dub it

I dropped Homestuck during the part where Calliope and Roxy were talking to each other and this part lasted maybe a year+ because the comic's update schedule was so slow. Also, because I dislike Calliope as a character. I like HS though, as a setting. The skaians/exiles were my favorite characters.
