Physicist they let loose on the world

[defjavelinrain]

About me 25/She/He/They I'm Leith and I'm currently studying physics in university at the undergraduate level. I'm in my 6th year of physics and before that i did two years of art school. I really adore what I study and it makes its way into a lot of other aspects of my life. I'm a huge hard sci-fi fan.

Drawings, my sci-fi writing and other hobbies can be found on my instagram of the same username. I usually just reblog stuff I like here. Occasional fan art posts. Any art I post here is under #mystuff.

Thanks for stopping by!

Reminder to self: A file folder of outlines and character notes and half-written scenes is the equivalent of an artist’s sketchbook and holds just as much value to the creative process.

If a framed canvas isn’t the only worthwhile expression of visual art, then a fully edited and polished piece of significant length is not the only worthwhile expression of writing.

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

Every time someone draws PHM fanart and doesn’t make Rocky do baby talk, an angel gains its wings.. like that’s a grown ass engineer speaking in its native language. Grace and Rocky explicitly understand each other fluently without the translator by the end of the story. Why are we making it speak in poorly translated english forever don’t you think that’s a little infantilizing. Nooo sorry I mean GRACE STUPID ROCKY SMART STATEMENT

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

don't make me tap the five year old teen vogue article, etc

Who Actually Gets to “Escape” Into Fandom?

All experiences of escapism are not created equally.

I love people who have specific characters that are their "no one understands this character like me. not even the writers." because they're genuinely not joking. the way they understand those specific characters is so profound that it'll change your entire veiw.

[chipper-smol]

the realization that the unhealthy trait you’ve given your favorite oc for funsies is actually something you unintentionally do is like watching a five year old innocently and perfectly mimic your bad habits

[redstonedust]

what happened to "cool as fuck grandma" as a character trope. i miss "cool as fuck grandma"

I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.

Posting ocs is so embarrassing. Here's my stupid loser I guess. You can kill me if you want
