I’m going to say this

You are allowed to reblog the posts you like from me, even if they are sketches

Because not all of my sketches are going to become lined, flat colored pieces, let alone fully rendered ones. In fact, the large majority don’t even make it to the line art. So reblog! Share the pieces you like! This is the reblog site! And guess what? I give you all permission to reblog what I draw, regardless of what stage it’s at!

And on that note, feel free to reblog this post as well!

You will know if I don’t want a thing reblogged, because it will be straight up unrebloggable.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

INCREDIBLY CONCERNING SPIKE IN ANTI-BLACKNESS IS HAPPENING RN.

Some of yall may have heard some of the shit that has been going on right now. I'm gonna give a quick run down of some of the stuff that has been happening. Note, this is not all, and it may never be all as much as I will try to update this.

(I am going to try and compile and briefly explain these as much as I can. There may be misinformation. Please inform me if I got something wrong.)

(This will also be updated with additional information and new topics added.)

1) Racist Chinese Dolls.

There are these dolls in China that are being called "Natasha" baby dolls. These dolls are not only very obvious caricatures of black people, but they are being advertised as a "stress relief" in which the people who buy these abuse it in various ways.

This links to a video of a compilation of the various "uses" of the doll. There are more in the replies of the tweet. (Another link to the same tweet just incase)

2) The Mocking, Abuse, and Dehumanization of Black Children.

Apart from the aforementioned doll, there are apparently people going around mocking, abusing, and dehumanizing black children.

Some people have compared black children to the doll.

Others have been going into African countries and have found ways to mock, abuse, and dehumanize black children for clout.

(Source 1 + Full Video) (Source 2)

There are more videos surfacing.

3) Black people are going missing.

Black people, especially children and teens have recently been going missing at an alarming rate. Some of these same people are turning up dead, deaths being ruled as "suicides."

While it generally unknown why many of these people are going missing, many suspect that their disappearances, deaths, and even lack of coverage is rooted in anti-blackness.

The following is a list of black people that have been reported missing as of recently. Please note that this is not a complete list (it may never be completed due to the fact that many of these disappearances will still occur as time passes) this may contain inaccurate information. Please inform me if that is the case.

By the time you see this, some of these people may have already been found either alive or deceased. This post will be updated overtime.

It is also heavily encouraged that you reblog this with more links to recent cases of missing black people if you are aware of any that aren’t included on this list.

I’m still thinking about what happened in my game last night. Legit don’t think I ever have or will have an experience like that in a game ever again. No game has mad me go “I’m not ready” AND “it’s not my time” before. Normally with games, if I know an ending is within reach, I simply go “okay, I’ll end this run” or “nah, I wanna explore/do stuff a lil more first”. Yk, a completely normal reaction to have to something you knew was going to end eventually anyway.

But

No

Oh no

Outer Wilds just had to be such a good game that I ended up feeling like part of me would die if I so much as think about ending the run then and there. It just HAD to feel like a spiritual experience that makes you feel existential dread for daring to so much as look up at the center where you can oh so very easily end it once you figure out how to make it reachable. And there’s no puzzle or riddle this time to figure it out.

All small, simple decisions with big results

Just a simple, obvious contraption with a now very familiar mechanic.

Just a simple moment, the music suddenly GONE once you’ve switched off that one simple contraption, of slowly approaching the thing you’ve seen repeated notes talking about it and how it makes the core mechanic of your game’s universe possible.

A single moment of looking at the tiny relic and realizing

You can finally end it

But you can’t. You can’t because just thinking about it pulls your very being in multiple directions, like how so many objects in the game are in several realities at once.

There is a reality where you remove the small device. End it all. Finally let everyone and your character die peacefully.

There’s a reality where you don’t take it and keep exploring.

There’s a reality where you could have arrived much sooner and had enough time to take that small device to wherever it needs to go next, and find out what that other ending is.

But I was at that point where I wouldn’t have had that time. Where if I took that little device that powers the time loop, I already knew immediately I’d get the ending where I watch the universe die. And then slowly die, for the last time, from lack of oxygen. Didn’t watch any spoilers. That ending was so obvious to me, in that moment, as I stared at the Advanced Warp Core.

Within reach

The sound of the now red giant sun reminding me how close to this loop’s end we are at

No more gravity stopping me. No more barriers to push through or go around. We’re in the dead center of a Nomai-made planet, for crying out loud. Made from the same material as the very core of your character’s home planet. Recognizable by the little “star” lights in the surrounding walls, recognizable only if you took the zero g tutorial in your planet’s zero gravity cave located at the very center of your planet.

A familiar sight. Filled with things only now familiar from several loops of experience.

It would have been so easy

But it wasn’t my time.

It

Wasn’t

My

Time

No game ever has or ever will again make me go “it isn’t my time yet”, as if ending it would be the very last time I’ll truly experience the game ever again. As if a part of my being will genuinely die with the characters in that ending.

It isn’t my time

Not yet

I will return when I think it is my time. When I’m finally ready

But not yet

i really love a lot of the comments on the phm subreddit

(canon typical discussion of suicide methods at the link)

[silmarienthequeen]

I think this really speaks to the kind of story Project Hail Mary is. We’re expecting the gun to be used. There are aliens, and most sci fi stories involve fighting aliens. You even have the gun for it. But that’s not the kind of story it is. It rejects violence. What is used instead is the nitrogen- for the sake of using science to save the world. God I love this book

[donabene]

You Get It

[queeranarchism]

Let me settle the 'is it fetishism and is it bad?' debate once and for all:

Being attracted to any kind of body is normal. Fat bodies. Trans bodies. Disabled bodies. All normal. Being extra attracted to a specific kind of body is normal too. Totally normal to have a type.

Not unlearning the societal stigma attached to those kinds of bodies, the people who inhabit those bodies, and the people who fuck them, to the point where you do any of the following:

Only want to date/fuck the person in secret.

Reduce the person to the feature that you desire and ignore the rest of who they are as a person.

Expect the person to be a walking porn fantasy instead of a real person with their own sexual preferences and boundaries.

Would no longer love the person if the stigmatized aspect of their body changed.

Consider yourself superior to the person, think the person should be 'grateful' that you love their body, etc.

See the person as a temporary adventure while planning to eventually settle down with someone whose body isn't stigmatized.

Is bad and harmful and you shouldn't be dating anyone until you've worked on your shit, because this makes you a very terrible partner. This doesn't mean you are a bad person with bad-fetishist-desires who can only desire people badly, it means you need to unlearn societal stigma so you can be a better partner to the people you desire.

Thank you for coming to me ted talk.

[feluka]

i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness

what's up, coming at you as one of those dirty-minded smut enjoying asexuals handing out water at the orgy or whatever the fuck people say. anyway, lately i get this kind of insidious sense that people think of sex-favorable aces as the "cool" aces. like "hey don't worry man, i'm asexual but you don't have to do anything to accommodate it." And of course it's a spectrum/umbrella, people can be asexual and sex favorable, i know that from experience. But i worry it's also seen as the *more palatable* version of asexuality.

So here's the reminder that you are not weird or prudish or childish or mean if you don't want people talking about sex around you. You are not morally reprehensible or puritan or fascist if sex makes you uncomfortable or upset. if someone tries to make you feel ashamed of that discomfort, or pushes your boundaries on purpose just because they can, they're the ones in the wrong for not respecting you. Never, ever compromise yourself for the sake of people who think you're less than for how you feel and who you are.

[handweavers]

positioning public libraries as the primary solution to restricted information access assumes that the country you live in has public libraries + those libraries have the funding to pay for the right to access global information databases, which is something that even colleges and universities in many parts of the world cannot afford. it's pretty common for libraries including university libraries in many countries to be unable to provide access to research databases, with students entirely reliant on shadow libraries for basic course materials. even attending a western university that has enough capital to fund imperialist wars and the war bank (ex. the many colleges and universities in toronto) you are not guaranteed full access to these databases and end up reliant on shadow libraries regardless because of how these capitalist educational institutions choose to spend their money. open access is the only real solution this issue

Feel like this movie is a good comparative highlight of when CG is actually useful. Practical effects fit his character and movements. Barnacle Bill was correct to do in makeup. However, I think this guy

Works best as his writhing mass. Not sure robotics/puppetry would've been able to get the effect the same.

[fire-rose]

How dare this game give me both a spiritual and existential experience that makes me go “not yet. Please not yet”

Fuck you devs (I love you omg)

[moghedien]

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

Outer Wilds spoiler

Hi yes hello

This game has a way of making me go “I’m not ready” as if my very soul would leave me if I did a thing before it was my time to do it

I finally know how to reach and remove the advanced warp core that makes the time loop possible

I approached it

As soon as it was within reach, suddenly realized I wasn’t ready to trigger one of the endings. Like. Emotionally not ready.

Saw the warp pad I entered the location from was ready. Heard the familiar end of loop music.

Decided to leave the place to peacefully watch the sun die.
