Atena Farghadani is a 28-year-old Iranian artist. She was recently sentenced to 12 years and 9 months in prison for drawing a cartoon.

This cartoon, that she posted on her Facebook page last year, depicts members of the Iranian parliament as animals. It was drawn in protest of new legislature in Iran that will restrict access to contraception and criminalise voluntary sterilisation. Atena’s charges include ‘spreading propaganda against the system’ and ‘insulting members of parliament through paintings’.

Last August, 12 members of the elite Revolutionary Guard came to Atena’s house, blindfolded her and took her to the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran. According to Amnesty International:

“While in prison last year, Atena flattened paper cups to use them as a surface to paint on. When the prison guards realised what she had been doing, they confiscated her paintings and stopped giving her paper cups. When Atena found some cups in the bathroom, she smuggled them into her cell. Soon after, she was beaten by prison guards, when she refused to strip naked for a full body search. Atena says that they knew about her taking the cups because they had installed cameras in the toilet and bathroom facilities – cameras detainees had been told were not operating.”

She was released in November and gave media interviews and posted a video on YouTube detailing her beatings, constant interrogations and humiliating body searches. She was then rearrested possibly in retaliation for speaking out and has been imprisoned ever since. In January, Atena went on a hunger strike to protest the horrible prison conditions. Her health suffered dramatically, and after losing consciousness and suffering a heart attack in February, she was forced to eat again.

The quote used in the comic is taken from the speech Atena gave at her trial. It has been translated into English by the Free Atena Facebook page. You can read the whole thing here.

Time is now against her, she has just two weeks to lodge an appeal. Michael Cavna, comic journalist for The Washington Post, has launched a campaign appealing to artists to help bring awareness to Atena’s case by creating their own artwork in support of Atena and using the hashtag#Draw4Atena. Can a bunch of artists and a hashtag really make a difference and put pressure on the Iranian Government to release Atena? Probably not. But just remember that Atena is currently in prison enduring horrible conditions, and if her appeal isn’t successful, she will be there for another twelve years. FOR DRAWING A CARTOON AND POSTING IT ON FACEBOOK. Don’t we owe it to her to at least try?

Alot worse actually happens out there.. once Being a soldier (which turned me into an activist) showed me..

Signal boost.

This definitely deserves a boost

Just nasty….

sO i def stayed up late impulse-boarding this bc i’m nuts. These are roughs to the song “You Are The Only Exception” by Paramore!
Eventually I wanna be able to finish these and actually put them to the music but I don’t have time right now so here’s them!

sorry, that demon!shane theory took me by storm and i love it

i really want a dgm social media au. mostly so i have a platform with which to give a modern allen all the love and adoration he deserves, but also, consider:

allen as a makeup artist/beautician.
– he originally started because he wanted to learn how to hide his scar
– after he gained several hundred followers on ig/twitter he started posting tutorial vids, made abashed comments at the start about ‘please ignore the mutilation, i got this good for a reason’ with an awkward little laugh
– his followers were outraged that he could think himself anything less than perfect and he started getting influx of comments telling him he should try working with the scar, rather than putting so much effort into hiding it
– eventually he kind of rolls his eyes and makes one vid to appease them. makes a beautiful design of flowers and vines creeping out of it like a crack in the pavement
– the video blows up and goes a little bit viral and his follower count doubles in a fortnight
– he isnt quite sure what to do so he just shrugs and goes with it, starts making more looks that compliment the scar rather than try hide it
– it’s a slow process before he actually starts leaving the house with that kind of makeup, but the undying support he gets and never-ending compliments for his face and his talents really helps

lenalee is a nail technician
– she doesnt work off social media so much, but sometimes allen drags her into his videos
– usually for holidays, or if they’re going to a party or something
– she’ll do their nails and allen will do their makeup and they’re absolutely the cutest sweetest most indulgent videos that go for like 30mins
– most of it is them getting distracted and talking or gossiping or eating
– there’s a supercut at the end that’s just 3mins of them laughing and the entire internet is blessed

kanda is a FPS gamer
– there isn’t much to this
– kanda and allen are probably roommates
-kanda works off yt and twitch
– every now and then in allens videos he’ll just be staring dead at the camera with kanda’s muffled screaming in the background
– he will t-bag you to hell and back
– classic angry gamer
– COD, CS:GO, Overwatch, Modern Warfare
– ‘SUCK MY DICK YOU COCKHUNGRY ZOMBIE ASS LOOKIN MOTHERFUCKER’

Link has a cooking channel
– allen isnt allowed in his house while hes recording
– ‘is this gonna be CREPES?’
– ‘WALKER NO’
– ‘ITS CAKE!!’
– ‘PLEASE THINK OF THE SALMONELLA’
– ‘but theres no salmon in this’

you can bet your ass tyki is a commission artist
– you can bet your ass hes damn fuckin good at it
– NSFW/furry/gore OK
– he is most definitely laughing his fucking ass off at you while he sketches your commission
– ‘someone paid me $36 to draw davy jones but with dicks instead of tentacles and im living’

lavi is their scummy little… dorito fingered otome playing nerdy little SCRUB
– but he is INARGUABLY the funniest person they know
– his humour is so dead and esoteic and all his videos are not only a statement on humanity at large, but really just his Life
–
the monkey making shitty puns through a textreader while its entire world melts and crumbles is a big lavi mood

– also i have no doubt in my mind that he would melt a computer with trojan viruses jsut to make this

beschvtzer:

AU where Allen is a pirate captain and takes Link hostage literally just because he can bake.

nebezial-asheri:

decided to put these in a bit of a chronological order as i can’t help but form a story behind the scenes. it’s a storyteller’s habit. and yeah i do have an idea i would genuinely like to explore with gail simone as a crossover comic.

i don’t want to be the writer for this. but at the same time i always found diving into these things and exploring the character chemistry was the best way to get an artistic feeling for it.

this is also how i usually develop my own stories.

anyhow, while many think this is me drawing some shipping, in fact this a proof of concept for an adventure story featuring lara and diana. Gail simone at some point asked if they would kiss and i gave it some genuine thought. i am a character first kind of a writer, myself, so i contemplated this. then i decided, yes, probably.

after all, romantic subplots have been the bread and butter of adventure writing since its inception and i always liked that aspect of adventure stories.

i hope this puts some things in context from my end XD

and while

there will probably be a few more of these, there will be no nsfw pics. after all, camera pans away from indiana jones in those moments as well XD

okay… there may be a chance of a kiss… but that’s about it.
