sapphic art

Can be solo or implied as long as the image is for or appears to be for the sapphic gaze. Use your best judgement. Try and keep it mostly SFW. Trans Inclusive.

  1. No AI generated content.

  2. No Loli or characters that appear underage in sexual situations Use discretion. If you have to justify it in some way, it’s probaby not a good idea to post it.

  3. Headcanons are welcome. Being an asshole about headcanons is not.

Try to source your image. It’s not required but it’s nice.

Still funny that Nintendo officially released that

@Maultasche @Xenoscribbler
With another Fedi guy recently we were looking for the origin of this picture. To see if it was actually officially Nintendo released for real.
We couldn't.
So anyone, tell me if you do find it.

(We found it looked like a comedic comic describing Metroid. But searching through the content, we haven't found this picture.)

IIRC, the story that I heard years ago was that this originally came from a promotional comic for the original Metroid, and Nintendo at the time didn't want to reveal Samus's gender for some reason and basically had to call this canon as a result when asked about it.

I don't remember exactly, but I think one of the early Metroid games had an ending that had a scene revealing Samus is a woman.

@EldritchFeminity
Yes. It's the ending of the first Metroid from 1986. Given you finished within a certain time or used a cheat code.

I get the story though. But I want to check it by finding this promotional comic and canon thing. So I'm asking people to help me to point me to it.

What I could find was, that is from a manga game guide released for the first game in Japan, but the artist didn't know, Samus was a woman.

@Maultasche
Yes. We have found this Victory Techniques comic on the internet archive. But we could not find this picture in it.
(We found one issue divided in 4 ou 5.)

This is where we left last time if you want to check for yourself. Maybe you'll have a better eye than us.
