When people talk about all art being political (hard agree) they always talk about the content, themes, etc present within the art itself. Which obviously I get and obviously is a huge part of it. Of course. But I’m personally always struck by the politics surrounding the more metatextual elements of the art; that is, stuff like access to the tools needed for the creation of the art. I mean the literal materials of which an artpiece is made. This is a low-hanging-fruit example but I’m reminded of that Disney adult who tried to claim art isn’t inherently political by being like “I just drew a stick figure on a napkin, is that political? 🤣🤣” & while I think there are multiple different angles from which one could criticize this blatantly pathetic argument, I remember being really struck by like… the flagrant “waste” of implicitly throwaway resources that many parts of the world just literally don’t have and/or that carry with them deeply fraught histories of capitalist labor exploitation and destruction of natural resources. Like. Napkins?? The apolitical canvas that is paper napkins?

I was very suddenly invited to table at Anime North in Toronto and I made some funny little last minute graphics about it

I'm not actually being invited for podcast reasons, I'm being invited for erotic monster comic reasons, but hey! Thought I'd get some Dominus promo in in the meantime.

If you'll be at Anime North come say hi! I'll be in the 18+ section all secret-like.

“feeling like a person again” collection

[secretaryofdarkness]

The human body seeks mild discomfort, pain, harshness, the fraying of its own edges, exhaustion, and collapse with the same fervor as it seeks softness and comfort and rest and food and warmth and orgasm. Flesh is not built with self-preservation in mind, at least not by more than happy accident, but as a sensory organ hungering for stimulus. We eat capsaicin and menthol as happily as we eat fruit and honey, we scratch ourselves red as happily as we massage sore muscles, we pierce needles and ink into our skin as happily as we hug a warm blanket from the dryer. We are not simply pleasure-seekers but life-seekers. Our eyes, our ears, our tongues, our skin, our each and every nerve wants nothing more than to learn what new treasure or torture we've found, and to put it on or in ourselves as fast as possible. All pleasures are destructive and all pains are rewarding, but some destruction is wise and some rewards are foolish. Your senses cannot tell you which is which nearly as well as you may wish to believe. Use your body responsibly or don't; only you can feel what you've been missing. And stop being ashamed of that fetish, it's like garden variety and best and nobody thinks you're weird.

obsessed w all the new lighting in guy it rlly inspired me

[beetleandfox]

obsessed with the Helena and Irving parallel and what it says about the aspects of our identity we think are fundamental (but aren't)...

Like Outie Irving assumes his Innie is just as radically anti-Lumon as he is. He assumes his hatred of Lumon is something ingrained in his personality! That's why he stays up at night drinking coffee and making paintings, because he hopes that when his innie dreams about the testing floor, he'll say "okay bet" and start exploring. That's what Outie Irving would do, after all. But he miscalculated! His hatred of Lumon isn't inherent--- his desire for meaning and art and spirituality is inherent. That's what his hatred for Lumon is built on. But in a world where there's no meaning outside of Lumon propaganda, of COURSE his innie would become ridiculously devoted to the company.

And Helena!! She is the corporation, that's her whole identity. She presumably assumed that Helly would be just as pro-Lumon as she is. But she miscalculated too! Her devotion to the company isn't inherent, her headstrong and entitled nature is what's inherent! And in a world where she's denied any agency whatsoever, that manifests as rebellion.

It's the same dynamic flipped on its head. They both sent their innies in there with opposite intentions--- one to take down the company, one feed the company's expansion--- only to realize that rebellion and devotion aren't inherent characteristics. Their innies have become the exact opposite of their outie selves, while still being exactly the same!! Because even though your personality is inherent, the values you hold are determined circumstantially. OUGH IT'S SO GOOD.

Me when Starkid doesn't use Gary Goldestien in Hatchetfield stuff post BF: That's understandable, many people pointed out that he falls into a lot of antisementic stereotypes so it's reasonable that they would avoid using him so as to not further that.

Me when Starkid doesn't use Charlotte Sweetly in stuff post TGWDLM: This is an outrage. Why does she not have a two hour long NMT episode where she kills Sam in cold blood. She deserves her own musical.

[a-person-on-the-internet]

sorry for posting my own tags but I can't stop thinking about this, so I drew it.

I think that Charlotte finds a stray cat, which is fluffy, oddly pink, and has too many teeth, and names it "Mister Nibbles". "Mister Nibbles" then eats Sam one day after he and Charlotte argue, and eventually a deal is struck where Charlotte will continue to feed "Mister Nibbles" and "Mister Nibbles" will remove any... problems that Charlotte may face. Melissa finds out when she catches Charlotte talking to "Mister Nibbles" when she sneaks him into work and is fully supportive - I think that their trio would have a really fun dynamic. They plot to feed Ted to "Mister Nibbles" together and then from there continue to feed more and more people to the cat till eventually "Mister Nibbles" tells Charlotte to feed Melissa to him and tells Melissa to feed Charlotte to him, and there's plenty of tragic sacrifice to go around.

I definitely need to draw this digitally or something. Also "Mister Nibbles" is totally played by Kim with a large fluffy pink hand puppet.

I LOVE THIS AHHHHHH

[captncthrola]

grace chasity... grace chastity..... the way you gave up the one thing that held you up, that IDENTIFIED you. even if it was weighing you down the whole time, your whole life, you wore it with pride.

and to give it up, to sacrifice it.... and not just because you had to, but disgustingly, you WANTED to.

how do you even reckon with that. how will others understand when it's just not shameful to them.

augh... this all came pouring out from watching Will Branner's react video with Lila Coogan. idk what's come over me but it's still true - Grace Chasity is insane and i love her dearly. i just wish it wasn't always played for laughs - tho maybe it does kinda make it more tragic in a way. maybe in future Nightmare Times though.

Professor Hidgens told me to "fill up your Tumblr" so here I am.

I got to see The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals today. Live in London. First time seeing Starkid live. I was in a sold out West End theatre with I don't know how many other Starkids, who have been fans for different amounts of time, some longer, some shorter. But we are all fans (probably. Maybe there were one or two people who were dragged along). The spirit was the best. The audience passed the vibe check. Everyone cheered, clapped, laughed. I think we gave the cast a great first West End experience. But of course it was over too soon.

Five years, three months and twenty days ago, I first watched TGWDLM and with that my first Starkid Musical. I was in 11th grade, it was winter, it was covid lockdown. Starkid (and TinCanBros and Shipwrecked) was one of the main things that got me through lockdown. Or at least made it fun. I found friends (even if they are still only online friendships @maraudershead, @puekjh, @thankdeadgodman, and other discord friends), great new songs, a new passion. Without Starkid I wouldn't have looked/listened into other musicals. Without Starkid I wouldn't have been in the comments of a Wattpad Google Translate story where others spammed the lyrics of Non-Stop. And without that I wouldn't have seized so many opportunities to see musicals and plays in London and New York. And I also probably wouldn't have joined my own university's theatre group which has become such an important part of my life.

So, at this point I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who has crossed my path one way or another because of Starkid!
