every time i see people hc Velvette as younger than 30 my brain just plays this one sketch it created in response
vox: how old were you when you died?
velvette, 31, firm believer in a woman's appeal being significantly informed by her age: 22. you?
vox, 40, suddenly feeling insecure about his age: ...35
valentino, 36, highly competitive: 19
velvette and vox:
valentino: ...in the seventies times were tough for a 19-year-old
Vox and Velvette:
" Secrets that I have held in my heart. " " Are harder to hide than I thought. " " Maybe I just want to be yours. "

Pay Attention (to me)
A little something I made based on the Executioner Au im writing up. I was planning to write the actual story but I ended up drawing this most of the night (+ more)
love when an absolute nightmare of a character is introduced and all you can think is "jesus christ buddy what the hell is your problem" and the narrative gives you a hot minute to stew before explaining Exactly what is Their Problem. and you just sorta sit back in your metaphorical rocking chair and think "huh. yeah okay fair. that would do this to a person, yes."
"In the same way that your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don't, then it doesn't." -- Brennan Lee Mulligan, D20, Fantasy High
This is harking back to an outdated and obsolete idea of science that was held up until the mid-20th century: the idea that the scientist/observer was separate from what they observed. They were uninvolved, only dispassionately watching and recording what happened as if they were not there. Scientific papers even used phrases like "It was observed" as if nobody was observing it, when someone very much was. It was Einstein who blew that apart with relativity, by recognizing that the observer is always part of the equation. What is seen is affected by who is seeing it and how. There is no "outside" for the observer to be. You are there, you are watching, you are part of the scene.
So the idea that there can never be involvement is bullshit.
we have to make more women suffer in fiction but crucially not in a man pain way. we have to let women suffer in fiction the way men are always allowed to suffer in fiction. we need women who grieve their male love interests always dying horribly at the hands of the villain of the week the way male action heroes always do. we need women who suffer in ways other than "dying in childbirth" and "abusive male relative". we need women with interiority and depth of character having the worst time of their fucking lives.
This reminds me of the time when I told someone I was doing a gender swap of my gal Avery (as much as you CAN genderswap someone who's gender is already "whatever makes it funniest when I stab you", so basically just change the assigned sex at birth and the gender is just about the same) and they asked me how I was going to change the backstory to "match" and I was like... I'm not. Going on a journey of vengeance against your shitty family is a gender neutral backstory. Making a deal with a malicious god of violence who seems to have developed a soft spot for you due to your intense proclivity for doing violence and premeditating on a murder is a gender neutral backstory.
whenever i see people call random edgy but not-at-all harmful artists "degens" i would like to refer them to the first sentence of wikipedia's "degenerate art" article
Reminder that this is the type of art the nazis were referring to:
(Kandinsky)
You cannot "well but I'M not referring to that kind of art, I only mean Dirty Pictures" your way out of this. You are being harmful and need to stop, not rationalise why it's okay for YOU to be doing it. You need to understand
censorship violates the universal human right of free expression and freedom of speech.
fiction is not reality. Fictional characters are not real people.
if someone SAYS a work of fiction inspired them to do bad things, that is not the work of fiction's fault. The person who did bad things is STILL at fault, because they have free will and must be assumed to understand the consequences of their actions.
discomfort is not harm. If a piece of art makes you uncomfortable, that's actually fine. That's the POINT of certain pieces of art. You need to learn to tolerate discomfort.
It is not in fact the government's job to enforce a set of morals on people. That violates people's universal human right to freedom of religion and creed.
There is no such thing as "just a little bit of" censorship.
I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind
Matilda found out life's not fair and said "But I can make it less unfair. Watch." And honestly that's a powerful lesson. We may not all have off the charts telekinesis and super genius intelligence, but we can all look at injustice and say "No actually I'm gonna make this better."
