Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane

my friend briar and i lovingly call this one ‘therapy speak joker’ and it almost caused her to drop biological samples one time

dizzyghoast

i think the joker should start talking like this for real. no other character should do this only the joker. i want batman to have to deal with this

lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks

now I need a fic where Batman is stuck hanging upside down in a trap in the Joker's lair while Joker sits across from him, legs primly crossed, glasses sitting low on his nose, notepad in hand, and attempts to literally armchair diagnose him with several different disorders

he's eventually saved by Harley who's grumbling "I ain't doin' this for you, if I hear him use 'Cognitive Behavioural Therapy' incorrectly one more fuckin' time I'm takin' a mallet to his head"

cue hijinks as Batman subtly attempts to stay captured just to see that

hey so we put your morally grey character in a fandom. yeah half the fanbase makes them into a perfect angel who did nothing wrong and the other half depicts them as a cartoonishly evil villain who hurts people for fun. no we dont know how to explain that people can do bad things for good reasons or good things for bad reasons. sorry man

“You think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?”

Wrong!!!

I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too

I love immigration

This one made the fascists and the racists really really mad. I get hate mail daily for this post

Imagine getting mad because someone else’s child’s chemotherapy doesn’t cost them 100,000$ .

Water doesn’t compress very much, so once it hit it’s terminal velocity, it was basically a solid ball, not a liquid. This is why you can use water to cut things if you have a high enough pressurized jet of it.

today i learned that the finnish word for ‘hazardous waste’ is ongelmajäte, which can also translate as ‘problematic garbage’ and my roommate and i immediately agreed this is a word that belongs on tumblr.

callmebliss

Your fave is ongelmajäte

in german it’s Sondermüll which means special trash and that too belongs on tumblr

One man’s ongelmajäte is another man’s sondermüll.

omg I finally took the time to read through your whole story, this is so peak ^^ I always saw the chicken guards and I'd like your art but I was so confused lmao xDD no but this is amazing. and it's all professional looking with your tumblr url lol.

i've been playing around with my artstyle and my art's not good. what do you use to draw? i know i need an iPad (i have a screenless tablet currently), but what's your general process? your comics are simple yet detailed, and i noticed each panel is its own image rather than a long/big image with multiple panels. and you don't use a ton of shading, it's mostly flats (i'm always worried about detail loll). does that make drawing easier?

either way I can't wait to see the full story! <3333

thank you so much! You definitely do not need an iPad, I have a decent scanner so I just draw on paper, scan it, and cleanup and color in photoshop CS2. I got it when adobe was offering their old programs for free for a while. I'm sure there are better coloring programs but it's what I'm used to. That's the thing about art, there is never one "right" way to do it! Find a system that works for you (and your budget) and that's all that matters.

and I don't do shading because I'm bad at it. 😓 I probably should study and improve, but I've just never gotten the hang of it. So I guess the answer is for me, yes, it makes drawing easier.

Thank you! 🥰

for reference, this is what a page of my comic looks like before I scan it. I use blue pencil lead because it's a bit easier to erase the lines in photoshop that way.

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

dualcasterjay

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

under US law, it's illegal for anyone who's not a member of a recognised native tribe to own an eagle feather. the penalty is a $100,000 fine.

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.

probably a good thing I don't intend to move back there anytime soon. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on bird crimes.

dragon-in-a-fez

@freedomisscaryshit I'm fucking dying I think you forgot the word "feathers" in your tags?? or do you just wish you could grab whole ass eagles that land in your yard??

emotional-support-husband

As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

dragon-in-a-fez

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

chekhovs-raygun

i used to collect feathers (illegally) as a teenager and the thing is that it's incredibly important for feathers from wild birds to be illegal to possess because it ensures that they never become fashionable to wear. the reason we passed the migratory bird act was because the american and european fashion industry was driving species to extinction in a timespan of years. not just decades. the ecological devastation of exporting birds for hats was absolutely insane and people were watching wetlands and forests and meadows just empty out in realtime. look at the wikipedia article for the plume trade.

the law against 'picking feathers up off the ground' means that you can't go shoot an eagle then sell the feathers on etsy by saying you 'just found them'. you can't own them no matter where they came from, which makes sure that they're not going to come from any birds killed and then secretly disposed of.

these laws, as harsh and ridiculous as they seem, saved flamingos, spoonbills, egrets, and all kinds of hawks and eagles from extinction. the minute these laws weaken and people can make money off killing them again, they're fucked.

lizardlicks

this is one of those "no actually this regulation exists for a reason" laws much like work place safety and building fire codes (that Republicans keep trying to roll back) and is written in blood just like them as well. it's just not human blood this time, and the fact that people actually cared enough about long term future over short term profit to get it put in place is nothing short of astonishing. That it didn't get put in place in time to save several species is heart breaking.
