April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberHe's characterised at source as a "royal spine spiritwing", a fan-made tribe. And then described as abusing his animus powers here.

MemberAnimus? Like Animus from Assasin's Creed?

MemberAs in animus from the Wings of Fire series. Basically magic limited only by your imagination (and also slowly destroys your soul)

Prince Friede is the name, a SpiritWing who has managed to sneak away from his palace, because he was not only sick of seeing his people suffer out in the streets poor, he also didn't want to be a part of that royal life anymore. He tried everything in his power to try and feed the people, share parts of his riches so they could live a more comfortable life, help them find better jobs with better pay, even went as far to offer them a job at the palace, but it all failed in the end, and his family is to blame. Despite that he ran far away from his homeland, they're still out searching for him, and seek to put him back in the palace. The reason why he's "abusing" his animus magic is because he uses it to basically please himself, like what you're seeing in this picture. ;) His family strongly disapproved his lewd behavior, no matter how many times they tried correcting him. Friede is more of a rebel than your typical, pampered, royal prince. Sure, he may have thrown everything away, but in his mind, it was well worth the price for freedom, and he'll look forward to living a more humble life. Heck, he even has a BF too!
That being said, I'm glad y'all like Friede! I need to get more art of him...
