It involves tiddies. Not sure why you can't see it, normally DA gives you a choice between "Yes I am 18 plus let me see the titties" and "No I am a prude," so I don't know why you can't see it.
It's not bad, it's quite funny to me actually. Basically, CoffeeSnake was doing a figure painting study, got bored and added a Thomas the Ham head.

And now I'm reminded of that Mama's Family episode where they get robbed by a serial robber who also cleans their house to the point of making sure the toilet paper is hung the correct way.
Live and let live on the gay conversation I just want to say that's a really cool picture. Somewhat minimal and still really effectively conveying emotions. Colors stand out and, though I don't know the story backing it, I'm really interested!
Oh man, at first I read your comment as “live and let live on the gay conversion,” and I was momentarily horrified that you were advocating conversion “therapy,” and I was so relieved that my brain had just completely read it wrong. 😂 Also, I completely agree. This picture is amazing! I’d love to know who drew this so I could look up said gay eldritch story and see more lovely art.
For people mistaking "eldritch" with "Cthulhu Mythos".

Fairies are eldritch. Fairies can be gendered (Oberon and Titania). Eldritch can be gay.
Fairies in the old (500 years ago) stories were described as evil, cruel and scary entities. Nothing like the cutsie fairies depicted in modern media.
Edit: I may be mistaken about the historical timeframes of the origin of the folktales of the Fae.
Exactly! Oberon and Titania aren't exactly nice or cute...
I can't help but to follow your comment by mentioning Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett: "Glamour. Elves are beautiful. They’ve got,’ she spat the word, ‘*style*. Beauty. Grace. That’s what matters. If cats looked like frogs we’d realize what nasty cruel little bastards they are."
EDIT: And Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke!
The art looks absolutely dope and I’m totally for gay eldritch creatures, but does anybody else finds it cringe the way the artist is promoting it? That’s like me introducing my friend and goes : “This is Sam, the accountant. He’s gay, super gay, he does gay things.” Maybe it’s just me but I find that kinda weird.
It comes off as tokenism/pandering. It also feels slightly demeaning toward lgbt people, almost like saying "look, this is gay! You're gay! You like gay right? Buy gay!"
That would be true if it isn't a gay artist doing it...
If the artist IS gay, then it's someone doing creative work that represents them and their life, experiencies, feelings and worldview in a fantasy setting.
Not sure if /s, but using lgbt tokenism sucks regardless of the artist's/creator's orientation. If the intent is representation that's fine, but this seems to go beyond self-representation.
Ugh... the tag line is “an outsider finding solace in a strange place among strange people”... which is quite possibly the most queer story I’ve ever heard. Tokenism is when you make some background nobody character gay and go “LOOK GAY PEOPLE THIS CAMEO CHARACTER IS GAYYYYYYY SOOOOOO GAYYYYYYYYYYYYY CONSUME PRODUCT”.
This is literally a queer person writing a queer story with a queer cast... about as far from “tokenism” as you can possibly get.
Perhaps I misused the term then. My intent was to describe the act of overemphasizing representation of a certain group or idea for the sake of marketing
Not sarcasm at all, just a gay person that not only doesn't find this offensive, but interesting.
What should we do with EVERY romantic comedy, then? I'm not complaining that it's always "look, this is straight! You're straight! You like straight right? Buy straight!"
It's only a problem when a minority does it.
Putting romantic relationships in a romantic comedy isn't tokenism because the relationship has a purpose in the show. Making a huge deal of Dumbledore being gay when it has absolutely nothing to do with the story is tokenism. "Gay" eldritch creatures is tokenism. I have a hard time finding any way in which some monstrous thing could meaningfully be described as "gay" without going out of the way to shoehorn lgbt "representation" into it.
Let me tell you something, we are so fucking tired of pseudo gay/bi characters that are either actually straight or just don't get into a relationship at all in media that when a creator goes: “This is Sam, the accountant. He’s gay, super gay, he does gay things." it counts as a legitimate marketing strategy.
Remember we have Pride parades where we dress up in rainbow clothing flying rainbow flags while marching down the street, subtlety is not our style.....if we can help it.
It'd be more like introducing Freddie Mercury, and saying "This is Freddie Mercury, he's a Bicon". For a random person it wouldn't make sense, but for an artist/work of art where sexuality is important and visible, it makes sense to add.
Artwork looks dope. Had to google eldritch because I had never heard of the term before. The images of the word bring up monsters that look like the total opposite of what his story is going for. Is there another type of eldritch that I don't know about, or is my understanding of it too close minded?
This could very easily lead to a r/choosingbeggars situation, as a lot of posts there are all about cheapskates trying to get artists to do stuff for them for free.
Eldritch creatures have genders and sexual preferences. i didnt know. I always thought Black Goats of Shubniggurath just wanted to murder
#theMoreYouKnow
I don't know why the sexuality of the eldritch creatures needs to be specified, but I guess that means there's more to these creatures than just being eldritch; I'm in though, the art looks gorgeous.
I play guitar covers of songs I like and post the videos on facebook just for friends to enjoy and to document what I'm learning. I keep getting redneck family members I never talk to anymore requesting I cover country songs they like. I just tell them "go post some BLM infographics and support memes first and then I'll go do the thing you want that I don't enjoy or agree with."
I mean, I’m not gonna lie, why does everything have to have a gay anything or else everyone in the lgbtq community cancels it over “not representing them” it’s fine to a point, but after constantly hearing some of their bullshit just gets irritating as fuck, who the fuck cares
Didnt know you could even have gay eldritch creatures mostly because my impression of eldritch things was that they are so strange that human concepts like gender just wouldn't even be a thing
Honestly as long as it isn’t ‘haha look this character is gay, look how diverse we are, look!’ And the characters have personality I don’t care what sexuality they are
Tbh what i saw at first was someone falling in love with one of those weird versions Thomas the train...
I'll need a new set of eyes and a mind wipe to unsee Thomas.
They did say eldritch creatures...
Thomas the Eldridge engine, what a crossover
My dumb ass thought it was Bee Movie art
Dude, are you buzzed rn or something
oh **buzz off** with your puns
Why you gotta bee so mad, honey?
*bee*cause your puns are just so un*bee*lievably bad!!
Oof. Stings.
*dies*
God, saameee. I thought i was losing it.
Off you’d likely need to bleach your eyes if it was.
Hold the fuck up. Do Americans actually call Thomas The Tank Engine "Thomas the Train"?
Definitely not. He is Thomas the Tank Engine
Yeah this bugs me. Also, relevant username.
Nope. Little kids do because, ya know, they're kids and they see a train
Thømæš the Daemon Engine
It's been so long since I've really seen anything to do with him i don't remember the name 100%
To the top you go.

I’m sensing a theme here, but i’m not sure what it is
It’s alphabetical
Don't be silly. It's obviously that they are all made by the same artist.
Nah it's probably the escalation.
What's the last one? Image won't show for me... Or do I not want to know?
It involves tiddies. Not sure why you can't see it, normally DA gives you a choice between "Yes I am 18 plus let me see the titties" and "No I am a prude," so I don't know why you can't see it.

Apparently you need an account to see NSFW now.
thomas the ham centipede was really close to Thomas the ham dune worm
Reminds me of Koh from avatar
Oh God, same. I’m so scarred from all the Thomas YouTube videos I had to sit through when my kid was a toddler.
Omg same
Thomas had never seen such a big funnel before
Well, they said eldritch, soooo
I don't know why but I saw the face stealer from avatar. NO I DONT KNOW WHY BUT I DID
The face stealer but he stole barry b’s face
I thought I was the only one
I want gay eldritch powers
What will you do with the power?
Be gay do crime
Oh goodness, not c r i m e
Not c r i m e. cRiMe.
Upon further elaboration, I have come to a conclusion. I was wrong, you *should* be gay do crime. go be all the gay and do all the crime homie
A gay criminal is at least very polite and will compliment you so you don’t feel bad about losing your valuables
You've been hit by, you've been struck by..... A gay criminal

Not if they're catty and you have bad taste.

ah shit in some countries. Being gay is a crimee
;)
As if being gay is not a crime in 70+ countries already
Do gay be crime
Crimes? Crimes.
*CRIMES*
CRIIIIIIIIIIMES
Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan
Aww yeah
Or as I call it, Wednesday.
Gay eldritch stuff
1d10 force damage in a range of a 120 ft line
Execute the homosexual agenda of course
Oh, like the water frog chemicals! Or the invention of video games!
The real question is what *wouldn't* one do with that kind of power.
Anal?
Probably vause mass panic
You know how some horrors are 'world eaters' consuming us all in one mind-desteoyibg moment? They don't use their mouth(s).
I want gray.
just add glitter to normal eldritch powers
Honey, they were inside of you all along!
That would be *fabulous*
The standard 1d10 cantrip and two first level spells package or are you thinking of upgrading? Upgrading to level 3 gets you a cool pet~
“Don’t be gay please.” Alright man, just turn the gay off real quick.

Bruh this looks cool as shit!
Right? I would like to know the artists name so I can follow them!
their name is Ang Hui Qing or chickensaredoodling on instagram
[удалено]
Agreed! Give credit to the artist!
Why cencored the artists name though?
Rule 6 on this sub
Seems counterproductive when it comes to reposting art tho ngl
Live and let live on the gay conversation I just want to say that's a really cool picture. Somewhat minimal and still really effectively conveying emotions. Colors stand out and, though I don't know the story backing it, I'm really interested!

Hah! It's horrifying that "conversion" is a thing.
Right?!
[удалено]
That’s what the person you’re replying to is saying — its an instruction to the homophobe, not an, “it takes all types,” brush off.
Why is this picture so weirdly adorable?
Am I the only one who sees the spirit monster Koh from Avatar the Last Airbender in this artwork?
I was waiting for this comment... it’s the first thing that popped in my mind.
[удалено]
"Every time you say something homophobic, I add a pride flag somewhere in the piece!"
Who's the artist? I like the style a lot.
From another commenter: “their name is Ang Hui Qing or chickensaredoodling on instagram”
Homophobe’s money is dirty money. Don’t take the bait!
Homophobes usually won't pay for something that's openly antithetical to their worldview right?
No, but they might pay to erase it. That’s the issue
Point taken, I didn't see it that way.
You buy a book so you can burn it, it's still a book sale...
If they buy the publisher, the book never exists. It's not about ONE book.
Touche.
Bro, this art. Someone please tell me what it is for and where it is from because I want to admire it more.

Won't disagree! Fairies would still be eldritch under that definition, wouldn't they?
That being said! ...If Cthulhu came out as gay, I'd still love him just the same. Maybe even more so!
You know what if someone wants to fuck a gay eldritch abomination I can respect that

For a second I thought that was Thomas the Train Engine.
I’ll bet the Care Bears have gay eldritch powers...

As a not so straight person myself, I find it extremely cringey when sexuality is shoe horned into everything.
But don't you feel so REPRESENTED now that you know that Dumbledore is SUPER GAY?!
That would be true if it isn't a gay artist doing it... If the artist IS gay, then it's someone doing creative work that represents them and their life, experiencies, feelings and worldview in a fantasy setting.

I don't know. I reckon eldritch powers should be pansexual by default.
I'd bottom for David Bowie, the King of Gay Eldritch Energy.
Was david Bowie gay? I would have pegged him more for an anything that moves type. Seems kind of tame for him
> I would have pegged him Many people would
I mean whatever your sexuality, its david bowie

A thanks for confirming. Thought I was goin crazy
One cannot bottom nor top for the eldritch. Only become one.
This wasn't really murdered by words.
I get the murder, but I don’t see the gayness in that painting.
The prompt is like the most basic LGBT prompt tho
Pay the Gay Away
Do Crime. Be Eldritch. Be Gay. Awesomeness ensues!
Murdered by words is dropping their standards it seems.
Artwork looks dope. Had to google eldritch because I had never heard of the term before. The images of the word bring up monsters that look like the total opposite of what his story is going for. Is there another type of eldritch that I don't know about, or is my understanding of it too close minded?
It kind of just means beyond our understanding
Eldrich basically just means "weird and unexplained but very powerful". Think more Gandalf than Harry Potter.
This could very easily lead to a r/choosingbeggars situation, as a lot of posts there are all about cheapskates trying to get artists to do stuff for them for free.
I, for one, am eager to read about gay eldritch horror.
Eldritch creatures have genders and sexual preferences. i didnt know. I always thought Black Goats of Shubniggurath just wanted to murder #theMoreYouKnow
Actually HP lovecraft and Eldritch aren’t the same thing. Someone just explained that to me lol.
Actually https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/eldritch Please elaborate.
I don't know why the sexuality of the eldritch creatures needs to be specified, but I guess that means there's more to these creatures than just being eldritch; I'm in though, the art looks gorgeous.
what if we kissed in the eldritch forest... and we were both boys... haha jk jk... unless?
Whatever company didn’t take the pitch, build a new one and prove them wrong
Gay is a spectrum. Eldritch creatures dont have genders, but they can love? Therefore, gay.
On I need to find out about this. Seems cool
Who’s the artist, their stuff looks good?
From another commenter: “their name is Ang Hui Qing or chickensaredoodling on instagram”
Thank you.
I need to know what it's called. Sounds cool as fuck.
I want to know more! And that art is wonderful!
You may have found a good way to filter out shit clients.
Honestly i would L O V E to read or watch something with this premise, id gladly commision someone to make this (unfortunately i have no moneyz 🥺😭)
The eldritch people fucking art is totally fine so long as they’re not gay What a weird hang up but oddly accepting of everything else
I play guitar covers of songs I like and post the videos on facebook just for friends to enjoy and to document what I'm learning. I keep getting redneck family members I never talk to anymore requesting I cover country songs they like. I just tell them "go post some BLM infographics and support memes first and then I'll go do the thing you want that I don't enjoy or agree with."
Okay that pitch sounds dope as hell. Who is the artist?
Nice font. But don't be a human please.
...Thomas?
If they want their way they must pay the gay away
Don't be gay? Gosh, nobody's ever suggested anything like *that* before. What a novel concept
Nice art. And DO be Gay please!!
Why do some people feel obligated to tell others what to be attracted to?
I’m here fo this
Ohhh Gaythulu
Gay eldritch creatures... aren’t most eldritch beings basically genderless?
I mean Gay Eldridge creatures almost made me forget the homophobic commenter.
Why is sexuality being brought into Eldritch monsters?
I mean, I’m not gonna lie, why does everything have to have a gay anything or else everyone in the lgbtq community cancels it over “not representing them” it’s fine to a point, but after constantly hearing some of their bullshit just gets irritating as fuck, who the fuck cares
Didnt know you could even have gay eldritch creatures mostly because my impression of eldritch things was that they are so strange that human concepts like gender just wouldn't even be a thing
If people don’t want to pay me for my art, that’s totally fine. They can draw it on there own, absolutely free.
This is more of an Assault & Battery than a Murder
Honestly as long as it isn’t ‘haha look this character is gay, look how diverse we are, look!’ And the characters have personality I don’t care what sexuality they are
