There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without infringing copyright! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more sites for free images <3
yesterday i reblogged a drawing resource that included how to draw hijabs - and it honestly wasn’t the best advice i’ve seen out there
now, i’m not an artist. but what i saw was a video that included hijab styles most of us don’t really wear and incorrect terminology surrounding niqabs and burqas (yes, there is a difference between the two)
so, i went searching and found a tutorial that i felt was better! these drawing guides and examples come from @/winchestermeg on twitter, and i think they’re really great 💕
this has more relevant examples and correct terminologies, and is drawn by a muslim woman
enjoy, artists of tumblr!
Got these insert for my boots- just lace them in, and your boots are now zip ups! Excellent for people like me with weak joints that struggle with laces but love boots!!
They have so many colours!!! Website is www.tongueties.co.uk
NOT A PAID ADVERT I JUST BOUGHT THEM AND LOVE THEM!!
this is mostly directed at @the-closet-case but i hope it can help other people too!
books with they/them narrators
- "I Wish You All The Best", Mason Deaver
- "River Of Teeth", Sarah Gailey (there's multiple narrators in this one, one of them uses they/them)
- "Can't Take That Away", Steven Salvatore (main character switches between he/she/they.)
- "No Man of Woman Born", Ana Mardoll. (This one is a short story collection which includes a he/she/they genderfluid person, a xe/xem person, and multiple other trans folks. also, an aro character and a bi one!)
books with major characters who use they/them, exclusively or not
- "Spellhacker", MK England (the love interest is nonbinary and uses they/them)
- "The Heartbreak Bakery", A.R. Capetta (the love interest uses he/they pronouns; the narrator uses no pronouns.)
- Also, bonus: not as major but "A Dark and Hollow Star" by Ashley Shuttleworth has a genderfluid side character who uses they/them.
books with nonbinary characters that don't use they/them
- "Meet Cute Diary", Emery Lee. The love interest uses ey/em pronouns (or maybe e/em, i can't quite remember)
- "Good Omens", Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett. Crowley and Aziriphale both use he/him but are referred to as having no gender.

I'll add more later, I'm really tired right now and am having difficulty recalling books to add.

actually re joking about being ‘the piracy friend’. do yourself a favour and stop relying on tumblr masterlists that are full of broken links and dodgy websites and just bookmark r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH’s piracy wiki (backup).
it’s the most comprehensive resource i’ve ever encountered my life and it’s also got so much extra stuff like decent free vpns/antivirus/adblock, a massive list of free software for almost every purpose you can think of, AND a list of custom search engines that mean you can search every site at once or you’re looking for something more obscure (this is how i seem to always have a link to literally anything)
there’s also this rentry, which i can vouch for less because i don’t use it so much but does have info on installing cracked versions of the more popular antivirus programs if you don’t want to pay but also don’t want to trust the free options lol
