Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol

sazandorable

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

I think people forget that Kara was executed for attempted murder, not magic. Even if she hadn’t had magic she would’ve been executed. Bc she tried to kill the king.

Also, Arthur gave her an opportunity to talk reasonably and she straight up refused. She stuck to her guns and had to deal with the consequences.

andromaex

This is honestly such an oversimplification of what happened that it completely ignores the episode.

First of all, "Kara was executed for attempted murder, not magic" is only true if you deliberately erase all of the context surrounding why she was in that position to begin with.

Kara is a Druid. She belongs to a people who have spent decades being hunted, imprisoned and slaughtered by Camelot because of Uther's anti-magic regime—a regime Arthur has continued. By the time we meet her, she's lived her entire life as a fugitive. She has every reason to see Camelot as the enemy because Camelot has been the enemy for her entire life.

Arthur and the knights don't find Kara wandering around looking for him to kill him. They track her down after she's already been injured. She's alone, exhausted, bleeding, hiding in a cave. Arthur arrives in full armour with armed knights. She's cornered. There is no escape. There is no equal fight. There is no premeditated assassination plot where Kara set out to murder the king. She's a hunted woman backed into a corner by the people who have spent years hunting people like her.

She lashes out with a knife when she's surrounded.

Calling that "attempted murder" as though it's equivalent to someone calmly planning and carrying out an assassination is such a bizarre way to describe what actually happens on screen. It's a desperate act from someone who has literally been cornered.

Then she's arrested.

She stuck to her guns and had to deal with the consequences.

...Did we watch the same scene?

Kara is calm for the entire trial. She doesn't scream. She doesn't throw insults. She doesn't fight the guards. She doesn't beg for her life. She doesn't even deny who she is.

She explains exactly why she feels the way she does.

She tells Arthur that people like her have been persecuted for years. She tells him she fights for freedom. She tells him she fights for the right to exist. She tells him she does not believe resisting an oppressive king is a crime.

Arthur doesn't actually engage with any of that.

His entire position is essentially, "Say you're sorry, admit you were wrong, and maybe I'll spare you."

But why would she apologise for resisting the very regime that has spent decades killing people like her? From Kara's perspective, she'd be admitting that her people's oppression was justified. She refuses because she genuinely believes she's done nothing morally wrong.

And then Arthur sentences her to death.

This is the part people always leave out: the episode does not present Arthur's decision as correct.

Merlin repeatedly argues for mercy.

Mordred begs Arthur to spare her.

Arthur ignores both of them.

Kara is executed.

Mordred loses the last person he loves because Arthur chooses execution over compassion.

That decision is literally the turning point that pushes Mordred away from Camelot and into Morgana's arms. Kara's death is one of Arthur's great tragic failures because it proves that, despite all his promises of building a better kingdom, he still cannot separate justice from vengeance when it comes to people associated with magic.

If the writers wanted us to think, "Well, she attempted murder, therefore Arthur obviously made the right choice," then the entire rest of Series 5 makes absolutely no sense. Her execution isn't framed as justice. It's framed as a catastrophic mistake that seals Arthur's fate.

So no, I don't agree with reducing Kara's story to "she tried to kill the king and faced the consequences."

She was a Druid who had lived under lifelong persecution. She was hunted down while injured and cornered by armed men. She defended herself when escape was impossible. She was captured, refused to renounce the beliefs she'd formed through a lifetime of oppression, and Arthur chose execution over mercy despite being urged not to.

That's what actually happened. Reducing all of that to "attempted murder" strips away literally everything the episode is trying to say.

Why is this fandom so obsessed with the idea of Gwen, Lancelot, Tom, and Elyan being illiterate. Pick on the white characters instead like damn.

It’s here !! The guide for two-legged people who don’t know how to draw wheelchairs !!! 7 pages of infodump ! Disclaimer : I don’t know everything, I have one (1) experience of wheelchair user who used both bad and good chairs, and I share what I learned.

Image description :

1) Calvin in his wheelchair saying “yo” under a huge title “how to draw manual wheelchairs properly by Calvin Arium, a wheelchair user comic artist”.

2) A character says “my character self propels in a chair that was outdated in 1970 lol” Calvin says “so it looks like you two legged people don’t know the difference between an hospital chair and a chair made to be independant” an arrow point the crapppy chair, saying “we never want to see this again”

a bubble says “the hospital chair is extremely unpractical, tough considering it’s cheaper than a good custom chair a lot of us have only this”

3) a character hurt himself trying to reach the wheels of the hospital chair. Several arrows point why the chair is unpractical : “high backrest restrain shoulders movement” “huge armrest restrains wheel access” “separated footrest : amovible, cheap, bulky” “x structure, foldable but heavy” “huge front casters for stability” “heavy wheels”

4) Several arrows point an active wheelchair (the KSL by Küshall) : “usually no armrest” “a low backrest allow more movement” “light, design, ferning expersive” “special cushion to avoind injuries” “knee angle is usually 90°” “one single piece of frame, sometimes entirely welded” “weight : from 4 to 10kg” “often rigid” “center of the wheel is the center of gravity” “higher quality wheels : less spikes”

5) A hand grab different parts of the wheel, pushing harder in the second half. Bubbles says “some have gloves, some don’t. The hand must grab the biggest area possible. Less movement = more energy. This is a common but not only way to push.Calvin is on his back wheels, rolling on grass and dirt bubble says “popping a wheelie is when a wheelchair user rolls on their back wheels to roll on every complicated surface.

6) several drawings illustrate the folding frame, the ergonomic but rigid and expensive backrest, the separated footrest (only for folding frame), the handles, the folding handles, athe amovibles handles, or no handles, the cool fancy loopwheels, the pretty custom colors

7) More Features ! The fancy rigid-foldable frame, the anti tippers (sometimes used by beginners), the motorization (wheels, smart drive) when propelling yourself is difficult Calvin says “and now vroom vroom motherfuckers”

Consider also supporting me by buying me a coffee on ko-fi : ko-fi.com/calvinarium

Thanks !

EDIT : Here is a youtube playlist about choosing, cleaning and using active manual wheelchairs in the public space, I learned a lot from those videos when I was a wheelie newbie. (Not sure they’re all captionned tho) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3j9XB2x5HYmZqgLakRCNt_fjsVZjDAkJ

Guys, the situation in Gaza is getting worse day after day. Heavy bombardment resumed today everywhere, as if the war has started all over again. We are living in harsh tent conditions, facing freezing cold, violent winds, and heavy rain, with no access to even the most basic necessities of life.

On top of all this, my father is seriously ill, and his health condition is deteriorating day by day, while proper hospitals and medications are unavailable.

Life has truly become a living hell beyond human endurance. We have reached a point where we wish for death instead of this hell we are forced to live through every single moment.

I know I am asking a lot, but I am placing my hope in your humanity to extend a helping hand to my family. We are in desperate need of your support.

Please, donate to help my family survive.

Reblogging this to add these other illustrations by Hamid Naderi Yaganeh that I found:

There's also a video where he describes his process at its most basic/fundamental level if you're curious:

Hey all, been messing with procreate lately and thought I'd throw a quick image of Kayne together. I haven't really drawn them before, but was keen to try capture his toothy grin!

bunnyartistic

What makes this art so immensely amazing to me is the use of the artistic medium to show the powers of shifting reality that Kayne loves to use.

At first glance its the portrait of Kayne, known by his black suit. The most eye catching feature is of course the eerie, monstrous, out of place smile. The art makes it look as though Kayne's face has been painted and scratched over to have the monstrous smile put in place of his face, but thats the best part, it isnt.

Its not that something has been painted over Kayne's face but that his true form is so incomprehensible that put visually distorts and damages the very medium used. Its such a great way to convey the incomprehensible nature of Kayne's very existence!!!!! I LOVE IT
