LGBT REPRESENTATION IN ILLUSTRATION QUESTIONAIRE Hey guys, if you can, could you fill out my questionnaire please? It is a crucial asset to my university dissertation and needs to be done as soon as possible. The topic of the questionnaire is 'LGBTQ+ Representation in the Illustration Industry. This includes animated movies and TV Shows (live-action movies are not included), editorial illustrations, children's books, comic books/graphic novels and video games.Be sure to read and answer everything carefully.https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/T979NJ6?fbclid=IwAR26EIIZ8QL4HYUWedVB3dwzARLg3uJfMWHijH6r2XZzYisXKehlJvvmXHo The questionnaire only takes about 3 minutes to complete and all responses are highly appreciated. Thank you.

Though Shadows Fall"SMODUR!" I snarled, rounding on him."Commander," he responded, meeting my gaze coolly."ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODS-DAMNED MIND!?" I bellowed, feeling my fur on end. I marched to him, tail lashing. The charr was quite a bit taller than me - as most were - but I locked into his eyes regardless, baring my teeth."Watch yourself, cub," he responded evenly. "You may be the Commander, but I'm still the imperator.""NOT MINE!!" I spat. "AND NOT BLOOD'S! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!""We don't need traitors. We don't need Ryland or his gang of mangy skritt.""THAT WASN'T YOUR DECISION TO MAKE!" I shrieked. "Calm yourself, cub.""DON'T YOU TELL ME--!" I spluttered, my arm shooting out to swing. But a paw grasped my wrist and stopped me.I whirled around to face Gavril, and only just caught myself before swiping with my other. My nostrils were flaring and I could feel myself about to go wild. Wordlessly, he began tugging me away from the group, and it was all I could do to control myself from wrenching away."THIS ISN'T OVER, SMODUR!" I called out. He folded his arms and shook his head. Somehow, his calmness made me angrier.Once we were out of sight and somewhere private, I suddenly leapt on Gavril. "YOU FUCK! YOU CENTAUR'S ASS! DON'T TOUCH ME! SKRITT'S BALLS!" I screamed, as we tumbled around in the brush, raking my claws through his fur and bunny-kicking. "FUCK YOU!! FUCK YOU!! FUCK YOU!!"He kicked me off and rolled away, then held me at bay with his staff. After several attempts trying to get past, I started tearing and clawing at the ground, shrieking, screaming, and roaring. I would attempt to charge at him, but he'd catch me every time. My tail was lashing so hard that I whipped the ground several times.Finally, I stopped, panting, spittle and foam dripping from my jaws. He snorted in satisfaction and dropped his staff. "Well? You done?"I didn't answer, but turned my back to him instead, tail still lashing.After a moment, I heard and felt him come to me. I growled and hissed when he attempted to put a paw on my shoulder. I heard him sigh in exasperation."What did YOU think you were doing, trying to test an imperator like that? Do you really think that was what anyone would need to see right now?""DON'T FUCKING TALK TO ME!" I spat. He grumbled, but went quiet. I could practically hear the eyeroll, but... for a while, we were quiet.After what felt like ages, I finally stopped shaking, and flopped to the ground gloomily. I felt him settle against my back, and I turned, nosing underneath his neck."Foolish ass.""Who? Me, or Smodur?"I gave a small "heh" in amusement, and then we were quiet again."He really thought anyone would make him Khan-Ur, you know," I said after a while. "Oh, I know. But all imperators think that.""I guess... Do you really think any of them could, though?""Why? Don't believe in Malice?""I trust her more than the others, but we're Ash, and we know patience and timing.""Are you sure about that?" he chuckled, and I huffed in irritation."Anyway... no. I don't think she could either. She's not trusted by anyone who isn't Ash, to start with. She doesn't make an effort to connect to people either, but I guess that's with the territory... But that all said, I don't think any of them really should. I never really believed any one legion should be above others. I mean, we saw how well that worked with Flame, you know?""Uh-huh. But you've always been that type. You're the more diplomatic side of Ash. Always been trying to make people play nice. But you invest too much, I think.""Yeah well, I didn't ask," I growled, then continued, "On that note... I used to think, maybe we could just work together. No single Khan-Ur. Does a parent value their cubs over one another? It never seemed to me that Khan-Ur was meant to rule alone above everyone. I never understood it, the answer seemed so easy."I sighed heavily. "But now, seeing how they bicker, how they can't even do a peace negotiation without someone dying, it's... it's impossible, isn't it? Are we cursed to hate each other, forever?""You know I hate philosophy.""Take me seriously, Gavril. We have no hope, do we? The soldiers are talking about how things will never be the same after this. Smodur rules without forgiveness, who else will die as punishment? I hate this. I hate every part of this. I hate these people, I hate Bangar. Ever since I met him, I hated him, and now...""All right, you're working yourself up. Don't think. Put on your Commander helmet now. Just do what needs done now."My only response was to shovel myself underneath him in a plea for weight. With a sigh he allowed me, and we laid quiet for a moment."But the first chance I get, I might kill Smodur."He chuckled.---------------------------------------------I stared down at Smodur's corpse. "Well, that's inconvenient."Is that all anyone had to say?I shook my head, hearing them talk about who to lead Iron now. I didn't think Iron would listen to Efram, if I had to be honest. Smodur ruled Iron a lot harsher than I had realized, and I was truly pissed at him when we stood around the table, but I put on my Commander helmet to deal with it. After all, to my shock, he did think Braham's plan wasn't bad, which showed he could be reasonable. Sometimes."I'll meet you there, Commander," said Braham. I nodded. Somehow, I'd gone through a conversation without really meaning to. I mean, I knew what was going on, but it seemed like background noise at the same time.It was a quick trip on Sand Jackal, though Braham of course beat me there, since I took a second to get a drink and wash my face. As he spoke to me of his plan, and what he would need me to do, I still felt only half present. He didn't seem really sure of his presence either, which was still something I wasn't used to.But if I'm going to be tested (again), I needed to get my tail from between my legs. I sat down outside, a distance aways from the cavern, and put my head in my claws.What were we doing? I couldn't help but think of my earlier conversation with Gavril. Future of the charr? What future? Dominion was seemingly willingly giving themselves to Frost Legion. I overheard the beach patrols. The "Legion to end all Legions". But how could I be surprised? Being the legion on top was always the goal when I grew up. Who should be the Khan-Ur, and everyone viewing us as "Ash trash" who couldn't be trusted, even though we were all charr together. And even the charr I was raised with had turned on me.What was the point, of any of this? A teardrop fell from my nose. It tickled enough for me to open my eyes. Beneath my feet, I saw the small blooms of a purple flower.The early spring orchis.Tears welled up in my eyes. "Oh, Trahearne..." I said to the flower, overcome with sorrow. But when I wiped my eyes, sniffling, I caught sight instead of Caladbolg next to me.I stared for a moment, then grasped the hilt. I suddenly felt energy coursing through me, closing my eyes, smelling the flowers on the breeze instead. I touched my forehead to the hilt. Wrong. I'm wrong. I was so damned caught up in missing you, Trahearne, wishing for the past again, I missed what I was supposed to see. A flower crawling through the corruption, breaking the rock and defying the frost. Valorous, resilient, vigilant. And it will grow.It will grow."And you can always be strong..." I whispered, standing and wielding Caladbolg.We'll finish this.

First Time Through the Mirror

Dear Princess Twilight,
Did I ever tell you about my first trip through the mirror?
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. Tonight the girls and I are having a slumber party. It’s well past midnight and everyone is asleep… except for me, of course, since I’m writing to you in the journal. A few years ago, I couldn’t even imagine having such good friends, and hanging out and having slumber parties like this... It’s wild to think how much my life has changed since I met you.
But that wasn’t the only life-changing event I went through. Even before I made friends with all of you, the first time I left Equestria and came to the human world was the biggest change in my life. I think I’m ready to tell you about it, so let me start from the beginning.
I never talked about this before, but… I’m trans. It’s not an easy thing to bring up, but it’s very important to me, and I’m glad I finally feel able to tell you. Ba

A Cat Claws At the WallA cat claws at the wall.
A grating sound that leaves a trail of white from each nail.
"Please, come back."
There are many white marks. There are many nails.
They pierce the hide and snag the skin.
Sloughing, sagging. Broken bones in a sack of fur.
I heard your voice, my name breathed outside the door between this realm and yours.
But where is the door?
A cat gnaws at the wall.
A crackling in the neck as the head is twisted to sink the teeth.
"Please, come back."
There are many twisted teeth sunk in.
Many twisted teeth sunk in, pierce the hide, snag the skin.

Jack'o'tober ChallengeHello, my friends!I know DeviantArt has changed a lot in the past year. I'm not as active anymore here and have mainly moved to Instagram (where you can follow and participate in this challenge as well btw), also because it's easier and less time consuming to navigate for me. I've done a lot of changing and growing in the past couple of years and while in terms of health and mental health I'm still not doing well, my views and understanding of many things have expanded and I've reached a point in my life, where I can acknowledge my struggles mostly openly, but at least openly towards myself, while in the past, I frequently worked myself to ruin, because I did what was expected of me. Still, or maybe because of this, I decided to create a Halloween Art Challenge that is open to all types of media and relatively slow going; fatigue friendly:,One reason for this is, that all my life, whenever I approached challenges like this, I was overwhelmed by the daily prompts, either because I was to busy studying or working, or because I was and am too sick. To make this challenge more accessible, instead of daily prompts, I provide you with 3 prompts for each October Weekend, that you can pick from as you please. Of course, you are also allowed to use all 3 or mix them up, if it's more convenient for you. ,And here they are: 2nd to 4th October:→ |sharp|Pumpkin|running| 9th to 11th October:→ |mysterious|Leeches|floating|16th to 18th October:→ |shiny|Graveyard|screaming| 23rd to 25th October:→ |silent|Cat|wandering|30th to 31st October:→ |creepy|Monster|sleeping| Aside from what I already mentioned there are not many rules.
Keep it clean, I want no discriminating, non-consensual stuff or sexually explicit works that include minors associated with this challenge. I also distance myself from everything that other people post, as I can't control that and therefore can't take responsibility.

Otherwise, in legally and socially appropriate context, you may feel free to use the tag
#jackotober2020 and tag me with @Jack-the-Shinigami in the description of your work to enter the challenge as you please (the personal tag is so I actually notice and don't forget, lol).

At the end of October/Beginning of November, I'll make a journal, that will include all the works, that follow the rules above and tag the artists.
The idea is, to promote each other's work and I hope you all enjoy this challenge and find new artists and works you love. <3

Greetings, Jack....

Some absolutely wonderful like-minded groups! This page doesn't affiliate with 'yaoi' / fetish / explicit-focused groups. Yuri groups can stay but they're on thin hecking ice. [explanation]

Hello and welcome!

ABOUT

Welcome to LGBTdA - a group for LGBT artists to share their work, and LGBT art to have a spotlight! This group is welcoming of all identities! (but it would be really hard to fit all of their flags on the icon!) Allies are also welcome to join, but please be respectful of the group's target audience!

NSFW art is not permitted in the group. It will be removed if submitted and will result in a ban if submitted multiple times.

This group was founded because there seemed to be a lack of groups for LGBT art that weren't full of NSFW content, and the groups that were there were generally for a fandom niche. So, this group was born; a general, all-art all-ages all-identities group, so that LGBT creators and their creations can have a chance to shine!

The descriptions of each folder can be found here!

(If you're curious, the flags in the group icon are, in order; lesbian, lipstick lesbian, butch lesbian, Philadelphia intersectional gay, gay, bi, pan, trans, nonbinary, genderqueer / nonbinary, agender, and genderfluid! ...the 'dA' stands for deviantART.)

RULES

Please submit into the correct folders!

This group is primarily for good, healing LGBT content. Please try to make your submissions have mostly positive vibes! Vent art is alright in moderation, but focusing too much on it isn't good for the group and it isn't good for you, either.

The Mature folder is not for NSFW content or otherwise fetish-related / explicit material. It's for tasteful or artistic nudity, or other themes that require a mature filter that aren't NSFW (like drug use, gore, etc)

If you think a new folder should be added, just leave a comment and it'll be considered!

No discourse / drama! This group is for accepting identities, not fighting over them. Unless someone's identity is actively harmful to others, they're accepted here.

No incest, age gaps / pedophilia, etc - shipping two brothers or sisters isn't LGBT, it's gross. (I'm not aware of too many fandoms - if the group accepts art that breaks this rule, please send in a note! It's absolutely not intentional)

This group does NOT support racism, islamophobia, antisemitism, hate speech, or anything else along those lines; if you support those things, even if they don't feature in the art you share here, you will be blocked from the group.

Thank you, and enjoy your visit!
