Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Welcome!

[Announcement: This blog has been resuscitated and temporarily hijacked by IRON LUNG brainworms. Will return to JnD-posting soon!]

I’m Black-Eco-Sage, and I am a Full-time Lightning Mage and Some-times Artist! This 18+ Blog will be mainly dedicated to making fanart & fanfiction for the Jak and Daxter fandom (although others may sneak in, too :) )

First and Foremost: This is a safe space for POC and LGBT+ people. While I do my best to check the users that I reblog, I encourage my watchers to let me know if I miss anyone acting out of pocket. Racism, sexism, transphobia, and homophobia has no place here.

With that being said, this blog will occasionally be used to amplify and bring awareness to human rights issues and issues that affect my life specifically (at least until I can figure out how Tumblr works and make a proper side-blog for it all). 

Outside of that, I’m just here to doodle and chill. <3

  • Engineer by day, stealth-doodler by night
  • Been a fan of Jak and Daxter since my mum picked up Jak2 from a bargain bin back in 2006 
  • Took 10 years to learn how to draw before posting my first JnD piece on DeviantArt in 2016 
  • I own three cats…and yet, am deathly allergic to cats

I hate doing this so much, you guys have no idea. If this isn't allowed, please don't hesitate to delete this.


Tess, my creature, hasn't been feeling well for a couple of days. We took her to the emergency vet who confirmed that she would need surgery. I found a vet clinic willing to do the surgery today but it would be about $900. If anyone is able to donate, it would be a huge help into getting her seen asap. I will do emergency commission doodles for any donations above $20. I am not the best artist, I can mainly just do chibis or cute stuff but I can also offer custom Tshirts and stickers with no extra cost *and/or* writing commissions (can also receive Tshirt and stickers if you would like)


Tess is literally my entire life. I really can't lose her. This is my ko-fi, if you could write what you'd like of a max of 5 doodles or max. 5k words. Anything else can be discussed further. Thank you! ❤️

(My BLOCKED Response) Anti-Blackness in Fandom

For @Sharkfiinn’s post about being sick of seeing Bloodymary, but relevant enough for others to need to hear this too:

[CONTEXT]: A post from @Sharkfiinn about being frustrated about Bloodymary taking over the PHM tags - a frustration that is valid and 100% understandable. HOWEVER, in a stunning display of irony, some of the commenters immediately tried to frame the Bloodymary fans as racist and “Anti-black” for not shipping “the only black character” with “the only asian character” (actual words used. They have names, but who cares, right)…and using that as their deflecting argument.

When I, a Black fan, politely expressed my discomfort with this very bad faith approach, I was immediately blocked by the artist.

It’s…a peculiar feeling, being blocked by (white) fans for being Black and having an opinion. Especially by an artist I admired.

Especially when that opinion was essentially “please refrain from using Black People (like me) as an excuse/scapegoat/talking point to win dumb fan arguments that have NOTHING TO DO WITH US.” Because it is deeply uncomfortable and robs us of any thought or voice we might have had on the subject.

Keep reading

sharkfiinn phm project hail mary bloodymary iron lung Listen. I love both of these fandoms dearly I've been met with nothing but enthusiasm and creativity from both and I genuinely believe the vast majority of the fans to be lovely and friendly people But it's important to always be aware of how you might cause harm even by accident and even more important to be aware of those actively using us as puppets and pieces to make a stupid point Pretending to care by hiding behind the guise of Advocacy so you can go after anyone you don't like and simultaneously shut down the “people” you were pretending to advocate for that you just inserted into the conversation without thinking or asking first is the one of the most racist and anti-black things you can do actually. Don't do that. DO NOT SPEAK “for” people that you do not know. DO NOT SPEAK “for” me. at least not without asking first Leave Black People out of your petty squabbles esp when they have nothing to do with us Leave me alone please. I was enjoying myself just fine over here lol Got too “uppity” i guess. how dare I fanart black creators antiblackness racism racism in fandom PSA long post

IRON LUNG 2026 NOMINATED FOR GLOBAL FILM AWARDS

image

We're Going to Make Hollywood Shit Themselves.

This is your opportunity to make a lot of rich people really mad.

If you loved Iron Lung, it’s time to help Markiplier and his lovely amazing crew do the funniest thing possible: flip the bird to a film industry that said they didn't want them.

This is a little idealist, but there's enough of us. 38.6 million of us, and we could absolutely slam this. So VOTE:

  • Best Thriller: Iron Lung
  • Best Actor: Mark Fischbach
  • Best Actress: Caroline Kaplan
  • Best Supporting Actress: Elsie Lovelock
  • Best Director: Mark Fischbach
  • Best Producer: Jeff Guerrero & Will Hyde
  • Best Independent Film: Iron Lung
image

This could be yet another win for small artists, a win for indie filmmaking, and the ultimate "thank you" to Mark for doing it for the love of the game. He and his team went through hell to make something he deemed perfect enough for us; I mean, he basically built a damn jet engine in his bathroom for this movie simply for quality's sake. This feels like the least we can do in return.

Winners will be announced by the Academy on July 1st, 2026, in Central London.

Let’s make sure they’re reading that crew's name ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

Today is the day.

morweneclipsed

the KIDS act passed the house today. 267-117, 47 not voting.

that's not great. but it's not the whole story.

a few things got worse right before the vote too. the language that explicitly protected encryption, saying the bill couldn't be used to force platforms to weaken it, got quietly stripped out on Friday. that safeguard just doesn't exist anymore.

but this isn't over. it heads to the senate next, and the senate is genuinely not on board. blumenthal and cantwell, two of the senators who wrote the original KOSA, are saying they don't want this version near a markup. blackburn, a republican and the other original author, called the missing duty of care provision a red line.

worth being clear here, blackburn isn't on our side. she wants the policy stronger, not gone. but that's still a crack we can use. her opposition means the house version has zero guaranteed path through the senate as written, and a stalled bill is a bill that isn't law yet. use her objection, don't trust her motive.

senate commerce hasn't even scheduled a markup yet. that's the next pressure point. this thing has died or gotten majorly rewritten at this stage before.

contact your senators: find yours here. tell them you don't want the house version anywhere near a vote.

and remember, if you have to, contact your senators scared. anything helps.

this fight isn't lost. it's just moved.

STOP KOSA censorship us politics kosa KIDS ACT This shit is corrupt as fuck call your senators harass your senators do not let these sick fucks sleep do not let these sick fucks know a moment of sleep resist FIGHT BACK

bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like

hunter-gratzner

From what I understand slavery was never actually abolished in the us. It is still legal and all.

batmanisagatewaydrug

the amendment that "ended" slavery specifically left permission for slave labor as punishment for convinced criminals and our inmates have been legally exploited ever since, yes

I really like simple but heartbreaking lines. "I'm tired." "I want to go home." "I'm just... sad."

questionablyfictional

"I want my mom." (bonus points if character doesn't have parents or a good relationship with their mum)

"I want my mom" GUARANTEED to destroy me.

Fuck you, Markiplier.

This single line has had me fucked up since I left the theater, so here’s my contribution (and first Iron Lung fanart!):

In some way or another, I’d like to hope that they saw each other again T_T

Mother’s Day (2026)

feat. Smol!Simon and his Mom, pre-Rapture, for Mother’s Day. <3

I wanted to draw something in direct contrast to the canon: something bright and happy for a change, because Simon and his mother deserve bright, happy things. In the darkest of times, I’ve found those bright, happy things, no matter how small, to be worth holding out for. They are worth fighting for. They are worth living for. And I think we ALL could really use some bright, happy things right about now.

It is my sincere hope that they found each other in a bright, happy place beyond the horrors that they endured, too.

(I included the version without the border because it felt more free and unconstrained. Wasn’t sure which one I liked more, so hey, why not both? :) )

Original WIP: here!

All of this coming about because Simon's final line in the movie had me fucked up for the last three months T_T happier times bright and happy things don't forget to hug your mom today and not just today. Every day. What are you even doing with your life if you're not hugging your mom at least once a day?? <3 iron lung iron lung fanart iron lung movie just blood simon iron lung iron lung 2026 smol simon simon and his mom simon's mother simon's mom mama lung lol in color! simon the butcher simon the convict happy mother's day mother's day 2026 may 2026 markiplier fanart the Quiet Rapture pre-rapture

Reunion

feat. Simon and his Mom <3

I've been penning an AU (well, one of many AUs) where not only does Simon survive, but his efforts reunite humanity across the stars...and with his mom, who he was separated from in the QR.
