i love luke sm like his character is just so funny. He loves wacky shirts, videogames and junk food. He likes tinkering with mechanical objects, customizes his pcs hates horror games. He’s your #1 hypeman and is so supportive of you. he was also in the military and probably has an extensive knowledge of firearms. He was in a fighting tournament that he can’t talk about due to a confidentiality agreement in a backwater country. He may also still have a tramp stamp. That one we arent sure.

Do you know of any traditionally good or even holy sex-themed creatures? I like a good demon girl as much as the next person but sex-themed mythical creatures being evil or predatory all the time seems a bit puritanical.

Blame Plato. The Neoplatonic idea of the material world being corrupt and the spiritual world being ideal has cast a long shadow over Christian thought. So to find good-aligned sex theming, it helps to look outside the Christian world.

In Islam, the houris are celestial maidens that tend to and marry the virtuous in Paradise. There is ample debate over whether these are the souls of virtuous women, or a separate creation a la the angels or jinn, but most scholars favor the latter. Some liberal scholars even go so far as to argue that, because gender neutral adjectives are used to describe them, that houris can be of multiple genders. Likewise, although the Koran is not specific about houris having sex with the faithful in Paradise, later interpretations tend to favor the idea. This is, incidentally, the truth at the root of the "72 virgins" line that Islamophobes like to throw around.

The peris are beautiful winged spirits from Persia, and have been incorporated into lore throughout the Muslim world. They are often associated with love, sex and childbirth. There are traditions of peris and humans in relationships, which tend to end tragically. The peri is in Pathfinder 1e

The apsaras (female) and gandharvas (male, pictured above) are spirits of nature in multiple Indian religions. In Hinduism, apsaras are associated with dance and gambling, and gandharvas are associated with music and divine messages. Both are associated with sex. They are renowned as excellent lovers, and sometimes are depicted in relationships with each other or with mortals. A Gandharva marriage is one based on mutual consent, where a woman chooses her own husband based on love and without rituals. These have ebbed and flowed in frequency based on cultural pressures of patriarchy over the centuries.

The kinnaras (male) and kinnaris (female) are similar. They are more prominent in Buddhist traditions than Hindu ones, but are also celestial musicians and excellent lovers. They are often depicted in male/female pairs as a sign of love and devotion in Burma and Indonesia. I made Pathfinder stats for them here

I should make all the OCs from Starbound AU in the actual game...

Also looking at my old art. I like the designs I did for the senior staff + Firebrand enough that I'm going to rework what I have written to fit them being Starbound species.

Central is still a human, Shen is a Floran, Firebrand is a Novakid, and Tygan is a Hylotl (is that even the correct spelling? I don't remember lol)

my comics fall off and become discontinued bc of a lack of audience T-T but my new year's resolution is to share a part of my wip, and I want to tell the story of these guys

Sintandar is arguably the "villain" of my wip if you read it through the main character's eyes. this comic, he is not the villain. I want to make a comic about his childhood and how he meets his beloved, who is a kinnari (celestial half-bird creatures in Southeast asian folklore), so I'm doing an interest check now.. I won't drop it until I have all 180 pages drawn. many pages will be in black and white, but many will also be in color... The first pages will also have some cultural background stuff, so anyone unfamiliar with southeast asian culture will have more context going into it.. and it's also a "vibes" story and a love story more than anything else. Sintandar and Satvara are both masc-aligned nonbinary.. would anyone be interested..?? like this is an interest check..!
