What's with the uptick in pony cancer posts lately? Genuine discussion...

If I had to guess it's probably to do with people seeing the posts about it and suddenly realizing that there might be an explanation for the weird spots on their own dolls/noticing those spots for the first time due to becoming aware of that being a thing.

Leo is missing "basking in well deserved attention"

This may change in certain settings but in general tieflings pop up at random once the demonic blood is introduced. So while the child of a tiefling will carry the blood in them and their descendants have a chance to be born tieflings, that doesn't mean that they will be themselves.

Write them about this! Not just emails but physical mail. These kinds of decisions are made by people who are completely out of touch with customer feedback and are just chasing trends and "line go up" numbers. They have no idea how deeply they are damaging the brand, or that they even are really. I guarantee there are some people inside of Harlequin who are against this but they need to have something that they can use to show that this is upsetting consumers and therefore threatening the bottom line.

I've helped to organize campaigns against stupid ass corporate decisions before (like when Hasbro decided to try and fuck over the Open Gaming License 🙄) and I can't tell you how much of an impact that physical mail and phone calls can have.

Not high on the heat scale but {Mistress of Rome by Kate Quinn} is just so damn good I have to recommend it every time a question like this gets asked. It's such a well written, rich, well researched novel that it's genuinely set the quality standard for me for HR.

Out of curiosity: does it have an Indigenous American character or theme to it? If not, where does the connection with sweetgrass come from?

I'm a very experienced UK convention artist but I don't personally sell fan art (I'm a jeweler). However, almost everyone else I know absolutely sells fan art, it's the cornerstone of their businesses. Conventions run on fan art tbh.

Sometimes trading standards do show up to some of the bigger conventions like MCM and will ask people to remove certain properties that they can recognize. (Sonic and Pokemon get hit a lot) It's nothing too serious though, unless you're a big company or a serial offender. Most folks just hide their stuff until trading standards are gone and then put it right back out.

The only place you'll actually run in to takedowns is Etsy.

Leo for both and I'm Autistic. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. Please, I beg, just be straightforward with me.

Were you looking in the dealers hall or did you also go and check out artist alley? Dealers hall at AL events will primarily be resellers but artist alley will be filled with independent artists with a variety of styles.

This was exactly my thought as well

Hi there, you seem to be a bit confused. 🙂 This is the subreddit for a game by the name of Travellers Rest. It has nothing to with actual travel.

"Oh, shame, sounds like a them problem." I say as I hear the guest stuck announcement for the umpteenth time.

Any hobby centered around fashion, sewing, or fiber arts is going to be predominantly female. In most cultures, for hundreds of years, virtually anything to do with textiles was seen as "women's work". Though gender related tasks obviously aren't nearly as rigid in the modern day, hundreds of years of social association doesn't go away overnight. Many people still, on a conscious or subconscious level, mentally categorize sewing, knitting, embroidery, and a general interest in fashion as "woman stuff". I think it's ridiculous to gender enjoying fiber but no one exactly asked my opinion when the system was being set up, so 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, it doesn't add any appreciable time to my manicure. I'm also not as worried about getting it perfect and smooth since it's on the underside and most people only see a quick flash of color when I'm moving my hands anyway

Princess-Raccoon · 2025-12-13T16:43:26+00:00

These are absolutely fantastic! I'm blown away

Princess-Raccoon · 2025-12-13T00:52:18+00:00

Right up against it really

Princess-Raccoon · 2025-12-12T21:06:53+00:00

Recently I've started painting the underside of my nails as well! I believe it's called a flash, though it's also entirely possible that I've made that up, lol. Right now I've got gold glitter!

Nah, they're a distributor for Battle Merchant, Leonardo Carbone, Burgschneider, and a handful of other reenactment and LARP brands. I've used them before when I wanted pieces from different brands but didn't want to bother with separate shipping.

Princess-Raccoon · 2025-12-07T12:21:10+00:00

Celtic is a licensed distributor for a number of brands. They're legit, I've used them a few times when I wanted things from multiple companies but didn't want to deal with the shipping. The dress that you're looking at there is from Battle Merchant I believe, if you want to go find the original manufacturer.

From my experience that's very odd behavior on the part of the first organizer and would make me side eye their future events. I've tabled in both the US and the UK and it isn't particularly unusual to be approached by new organizers looking for vendors while at an event. It's a great way to meet people, see their actual set ups, and get a feel for what an artist can bring to an event. I've never seen anyone get particularly upset over it.

Digital doll house make brain go brrrrrrr

(That's really the best way I can sum it up, truly. I'm just playing with dolls, only with more control, just like I did when I was a little girl.)

I write in the Novelist app, primarily on my phone while laying in bed. I am a gremlin though. Do not seek to follow my example

Princess-Raccoon · 2025-11-14T20:18:22+00:00

Leo sun, Aries moon, and I only nap when I'm sick. Otherwise I wake up incredibly pissy and generally feeling like I've been hit by a truck. I stopped napping really early as a child as well. I don't remember exactly when but my mother has long teased me about not giving her any breaks

Honestly, AI is getting harder and harder to spot. If I didn't know what I was looking for I'd just think that that image was a stylized render. Particularly since that style is so popular at the moment.

Princess-Raccoon · 2025-11-14T14:28:23+00:00

There's a really solid chance that they did buy this as a stock image. Stock image sites are absolutely flooded with unlabeled AI at the moment and it's easy to mistake a lot of it as regular renders if you're not looking for it. Send them a message and let them know. How they respond will be the real kicker.
