My partner @revretch developed their own blender shading system to create the effect of "cartoonish" fur and hair shading but they're also able to use it to generate a lifelike insect pseudopupil that changes with the angle EXACTLY like the real thing, like even where the shadow distorts in shape or "breaks" here at certain angles is precisely what an actual pseudopupil will do?! You can see examples on real mantises if you look carefully:

They're not using tumblr much anymore because it didn't seem to drive much traffic to their series but they update their patreon every single week with progress on their series include these kinds of original Blender processes and experiments:

I hate this. I hate this so much. Are you FUCKING kidding me, S from Plague?! You wasted a perfectly good XXX dragon. I wanted this dragon. I saw it in the auction house and was saving the money for it. It was 25 gems, which yeah is pretty expensive but I guess worth it for a triple color I guess. But I come back to find that he’s already been bought!! Ok, whatever, someone beet me to him…but then I see that THIS is what they did to him?!?!! Why not let someone who wants to give it good lore and actual nice apparel have it?! Instead you hog it and give it a shitty name and cover it in shitty purple apparel for your little joke. What, is this dragon just some kind of meme or something to you?! I sure wish I could have the treasure and gems to just throw away on a perfectly good triple color irifacebelly dragon for no reason other than to turn it into a shitty joke. You probably did this to spite me and players like me! Buy the fancy dragons we want just to turn them into dumb jokes?! FUCK YOU!

don't think i don't remember the people who spent years accusing asexuals of being responsible for homophobia and sick degenerates who steal gay resources and who corrupt kids by telling them of the existence of asexuality at all. dont think i forget all my friends who got harassed relentlessly and who thought they must be broken to not want sex, some of whom tried to force themselves into traumatic sexual situations because they'd been convinced by ghouls online that every human must enjoy sex and if you dont you're broken and nobody should be in a relationship with you. they're still posting today and acting like that was a cringe phase funny phase of their life while they keep making asexuals the butt of their jokes as the default "uwu ace tenderqueer" and people laugh at it bc it's fun when i know at least five separate asexuals who went through traumatic sexual experiences if not flat out sexual violence that was directly linked to them being ace. but im sure these fucks are ready to tell me that they're not facing "material oppression" or that it's cringe lol

[cardentist]

it was (and is) a tactic for exclusionists to package genuinely violent and awful bigotry in humor, Specifically with the intent of 1: getting people who don't know better to spread it 2: and making it Easier to dismiss people who call them out as just being ridiculous. Both to avoid personal accountability, And to make people who speak out against ace bigotry look ridiculous to people who don't know better

and then those people who did that had a way Out. Because they intentionally avoided that accountability.

if someone has a "byf" that says that they're "neutral" on ace discourse and don't want anyone to bring it up, then 9/10 times that means that they've said the most heinous shit about a minority group that you can imagine and either got bored or didn't want to be held accountable so they've moved on to never acknowledging it.

then if they get their stance on this minority group they spent years harassing they make some joke about how discoursers can't just leave people alone and people will just laugh along with them.

many of these people haven't changed, many of them have a massive audience to this day because people were willing to overlook them being bigots because they were funny, or were willing to laugh along to jokes making fun of a minority group because it made that minority look Cringe which made it okay

the whole point is to belittle a minority group And to normalize mocking and othering them in this more socially acceptable way, and for the most part It Worked. and Because it worked there are people who are reusing it today. if a minority group is the punchline then stop and Think about why you're being asked to laugh

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

I think if I put aside like, the poltical and hateful aspect of it, part of the reason people react so strongly and are so frightened of me when I’m in public is because of horror. Like. Their immediete association with a faceless human shaped figure draped in all black is more like

like straight up im pretty sure if you asked people on campus they would have a “ghost story” of their experience seeing a terrifying ghost but in reality it was just me like, getting some mail or working at night. its interesting how peoples brains in my experience jump to “holy fuck a ghost” and start screaming as being the most logical interpretation of seeing me instead of “hey maybe its a muslim woman”.

Anyways this is all to say if I saw a shadow demon or grim reaper i would probably be psyched and say “Assalam alaikum” and then go about my day.

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

I wanna expand a lil on this cuz its interesting and important, sorry to get a bit more heavy.

I had work today, here’s what I look like often when I go to work, sleeved black jilbab, black niqab, closed toed shoes, exam gloves, headphones.

And here’s also a picture of me, now just at a distance walking down the hallway

And a lot of people’s initial gut reactions to seeing me is fear (including screaming or backing away/turning around) and thinking I’m something scary or  a ghost or monster, because I guess their more familiar and ready to believe in ghosts than realize I’m just like. A regular person. In that photo I’m literally just walking and listening to music while working as a custodian.

And like, you might say “well thats an understandable reaction, its not good but its not hurting anyone”. Straight up, in my 3 years living and working on campus, I haven’t made a single friend, no one talks to me because they’re so put off or frightened by my niqab. And each photo of me here is a photo of an exact recreation of what I was doing prior to hatecrimes I’ve experienced. Standing? Suspicious and scary. Walking by myself? Suspicious and scary. Cleaning tables? Suspicious and scary, worthy of confrontation and considering calling the police.

This is all to say like, I think people should look at how they react to seeing an all-black figure. Because if you do, it’s highly unlikely its a ghost, and more likely a normal person.

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

I made another post about this but I thought I should include it here so people see it.

I’ve gotten messages and tags along the lines of “I might be startled/scared at first but when I realize you’re just a person I would talk and befriend you!” which is very sweet, honestly, and many many steps ahead of how most people treat me. However, part of the post is about that, about how when people see me their immediate reaction is fear and not seeing me as a human being.

Like I said in the inital post, people’s main association with someone looking like me is horror (shadow demons, wraiths, ghosts), all black figures in media are spooky or evil otherworldly monsters. Most people’s only other exposure is islamaphobic news that again frames someone who looks like me as a scary oppressed other. When people talk about hijab bans or “burka bans” the image that has been pushed is people that look like me. There’s no big mainstream media with someone who looks like me, hell Momtaz from We Are Lady Parts is the first niqabi I’ve seen in the main cast of any media. Otherwise the only exposure to someone that looks like me is horror at best and Islamaphobic politics at worst.

The main issue that makes day to day life in America hell for me is that when people look at me, even if its just for a few seconds, they don’t see me as human. Whether people jump to thinking I’m an actual ghost, a spooky decoration (I’ve quite literally been mistaken for being part of a Halloween display), or see me as a caricature of oppression, or a terrorist, or a criminal (tons of people think I’m dressed in all black to avoid being noticed while I commit a crime, and plenty of people think my niqab makes it so I can get away with crimes) the one common thread is people do not recognize my humanity.

Sure, for some people that only lasts a few moments, but for most it lasts longer or forever. If people talk to me, they’ll likely come to realize I’m just a person, but most people don’t, and countless people only see me in passing in public, and for as long as I exist in their mind, I am never a full person. And too often I’m pressure to talk to people purely just to prove my humanity and that I‘m not some tragically oppressed person who needs saving.

I always say that the thing which sets Sargent apart as a portrait artist is that he draws/paints literally every subject - no matter their gender, social position, life vs representational drawing etc - like he is right that minute realising he's desperately in love with them. And it rules every single time.

It is genuinely so infuriating that Wikipedia's official policy is to misgender anyone who uses neopronouns

[headspace-hotel]

Policies are created collectively by users, often following policies by academic institutions and journalistic standards.

after reading the discussion on this policy, the primary reason was for the readability of the article. I don't think neopronouns would impact the article readability too much, but that's what they came to.

Changing the policy would require people who care about this to get involved with Wikipedia, crucially, people who have an investment in Wikipedia's mission (making information freely accessible to all) and who put in work to make edits and improve articles.

Policies and topics that are fraught and personal to people have extensive problems with people joining wikipedia solely to vandalize or argue about those topics. This is inconsistent with Wikipedia's mission.

I recommend reading Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia

[read-marx-and-lenin]

i feel like the main thing a lot of people who hate the dprk say is that it doesn’t allow emigration out of the country. so, why is that?

(asked January 24)

The DPRK does not forbid emigration outright. DPRK citizens can leave the country legally provided they follow the proper procedures. There is no internationally recognized nation that does not enforce some restrictions on emigration, typically requiring at the very least the presentation of a passport at designated border crossings. That said, it is true that emigration is restricted much more heavily in the DPRK than in most nations.

However, the context is important. The DPRK remains at war with the ROK and the US; while a ceasefire has remained in effect since 1953, no peace treaty has ever been signed. The DPRK has been placed under an effective siege for decades due to US-led international sanctions, and it is illegal under these sanctions for any person holding DPRK citizenship to earn money abroad (although this is enforced more in certain countries than in others, and plenty of DPRK citizens work abroad, usually in Russia or China). Furthermore, if a DPRK citizen were to emigrate to the ROK, the only other Korean-speaking nation, the ROK government would likely forbid them from returning to the DPRK if they so chose. There are in fact multiple DPRK emigrants living in the ROK who have been prevented from returning despite requesting permission to do so. One such woman, Kim Ryeon-hui, recounts in the documentary Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul how she has been denied a ROK passport for years due to her desire to return to her family in the DPRK, to the point of having attempted suicide.

Is it difficult for a DPRK citizen to legally become a citizen of another nation? Yes. It is difficult for a DPRK citizen to legally leave the country in general? No, DPRK citizens travel abroad all the time, for both work and leisure. Any difficulties regarding travel or communication to and from the DPRK, however, result from the state of conflict that the DPRK has been placed in by the US and the ROK. And until that conflict is resolved, very little will change in either the DPRK or the ROK.

[jingerpi]

Id also add that many of the restrictions for travel are placed not by the DPRK itself but by countries restricting entrance of those with DPRK passports. here's a comparison from passportindex.org

green is entry without visa, blue is visa on arrival, red is pre-approval for a visa which can vary from possible but tedious to defacto impossible

here is the DPRK compared to China, Canada, US, and UK respectively

this shows countries own rules and acceptance of the relevant passport, not the rules said country has placed own their own citizens. you can read the full list of each country on the site yourself

Id also highly encourage anyone curious about the topic to look up their own country's rules on not only the DPRK passport, but on their own citizens travel to the DPRK. In the US for example, it is illegal for citizens to visit the North, while you can go there more or less just fine, because they don't have rules against US citizens (though you might be seriously questioned), if you return you can be imprisoned with a felony and will certainly be blacklisted from further travel with your passport revoked

disclaimer that this was just a quick look on my phone. a lot of this information changes with time and can sometimes vary based on source. I recommend checking the things I've said above on your own time to build an understanding yourself

Israel is not an exception to history...it is the latest manifestation of white supremacist colonialism and imperial conquest.

[pink-cheese-puffs]

As an aboriginal australian myself, I really wish more people knew what happened here. Most people I mention to online, dont even know what an aboriginal australian is. Our history is awful. There is no words to describe what happened here. It was a wipe out. They tried to eradicate us. Our bloodline was so destroyed, there is no way to trace us completely by DNA anymore. Please people read and learn about what happened to us. And how to this day it is still affecting us.

[abdalsalam2000]

These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.

[abdalsalam2000]

I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears. I can no longer bear this situation. I am exhausted by hunger, severe anemia, my father's cancer, and the exorbitant cost of the medications he needs.

[abdalsalam2000]

All I care about is getting rid of the cancer my father is suffering from and the constant pain. Please help me buy his medication so his body can recover and he can resume his life, and to save me, my entire family, and my young niece who is suffering from malnutrition and anemia.

while we’re talking about Kung Fu Panda, because we always are now, let’s talk about how the completely bullshit “Chinese directors and moviegoers were amazed and confused that America made a movie about Chinese culture that was BETTER than Chinese movies!” comes from the very real discussion that WAS had, which was “why does America eat up our culture when they bullshit it for a kids movie, but seems to have no interest in movies out of China, and won’t offer Chinese people a modicum of the same respect they seem to have for an imaginary fighting panda voiced by Jack Black?”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i’ve always been puzzled by the assertion that Kung Fu Panda baffled and charmed Chinese filmmakers because, like, you’ve seen Chinese movies, right? they have no reason to be impressed by this. and then it turns out that the problem was no, they had NOT seen Chinese movies

[strawhatsufi]

i'm glad everyone's finally decided to have always been against leaving disabled trans women to die. hey, can people do me a big favour? related?

this website has left my disabled trans sister to die a few times now. she used to be a regular heavy user of it before it repeatedly did to her what it does to trans women.

aside from me she has essentially zero social contact with the outside world so and the two of us are trying to build a decent nest egg so that over the course of the rest of this year or so i (and I have a lot going on in my own right!) can start moving towards vocational training to take care of us instead of ebegging on here

our social support system is each other and then tumblr, which i hope we can all understand is a dangerous situation for especially her to be in. she has been repeatedly homeless for her whole life and her pinned post is a medical fundraiser she gave up on.

please throw as much money at her as possible
