Hello! I'm Lowarn, and this is my Tumblr. Some people know me as Cat.

I'm running a GoFundMe for a family in Gaza here. Please donate if you can!

I mostly reblog stuff, but I post my art under the tag #my art (very inventive, I know) and occasionally feel like I need to share my thoughts for whatever reason, too. Maybe one day I will post about my creative writing here, as a treat.

Feel free to send asks/DMs!! :D

Art Fight ~ Ko-Fi ~ Etsy ~ Novelette ~ Bluesky

My degree was in Costume Design and Making, which I do very little with, but I have a massive love of clothes and sewing! I really love traditional and folk costume in particular. I crochet as well, although I mostly make amigurumi.

I'm non-binary and sort of just generally queer.

I have some degree of brainworms about various media, including

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Homestuck

Pokemon

Warhammer

Dark Souls/Elden Ring

A Court of Thorns and Roses (or, as I affectionately call it, A Court of Shit and Piss)

I also love animals, especially bugs and fish, and I'm interested in stuff to do with queer and disability rights - I'm autistic and chronically ill, so the latter is pretty relevant to me.

I don't tend to tag/tw things unless they're, like, VERY blatant, but please feel free to let me know if you want something tagged! In the same vein, I'm an adult and will reblog/post things that are for adults. Please keep that in mind before you follow - this isn't a blog full of explicit NSFW or anything, but if nudity/suggestive content is a no-go for you, then here's your warning.

Thanks for visiting! I hope we can be beloved mutuals!

Bonus for people who read the whole thing: if you look at the tag #so beautiful on my blog, you will see a variety of posts where it's a parent animal with babies, or maybe objects with smaller versions next to them.

Maybe it's naive of me, but whenever I see portraits like this, with just a father and daughter, it restores my faith in humanity a little. Because people seem to love this idea that fathers never loved their daughters in the past and only saw them as bargaining chips for marriage or whatever, but look at the guy in the first portrait on the left, he loves that little girl! And the dad trying to do his work while his daughter bothers him with an Old Timey Barbie. The man teaching his daughter geography, his expression is so soft! The way the man in the last portrait holds the little girl's hand! And none of these are incidental, these aren't photographs, someone (probably the father) paid good money and sat down for hours so that they could have a painting of themselves and their daughter. Probably because they loved their daughter.

From left to right: 1795 Michał Jerzy Mniszech with his daughter Elżbieta - Marcello Bacciarelli; Christopher Anstey and his daughter Mary Ann by William Hoare 1776; A Musician and His Daughter by Thomas de Keyser 1629; The Geography Lesson (Portrait of Monsieur G. and His Daughter), 1812; Jean-baptiste Isabey And His Daughter; Portrait of a Young Girl and Older Man by William Harrison Scarborough

(this is probably somewhat related to my other favourite genre of painting, Husband With Multiple Kids Making Come Hither Eyes At His Wife)

oh I love those! People being people is one of my favourite kinds of paintings and an important reminder that people in past times were not all that different. There were dads who loved their daughters fiercely. There were fathers who happily looked after their babies too. The German reformer Philip Melanchton for example had a cradle in his office. His wife was busy organising a household for 20 people- she was out and about, he mostly worked in his office, it made sense for him to look after their babies too babies while she dropped by at snack time.

in fact often if it was kind of safe dads had the babies in their workshops for just that reason as we can see in these paintings:

The left is “the busy father” by Theodore Weber, the right one is “At the china repairer’s “ by Wenzel Tornoe. All dads who are actively involved in childcare and a painter who thought it was a cute topic rather than anything ridiculous.

I raise you:

First Lesson by Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865 - 1931)

Un Coup De Main (The Helping Hand) by Émile Renouf (1845 – 1894)

Italian Winegrower And His Daughter by Francesco Baratta (1590-1666)

reproductive rights is not a euphemism for abortion rights or the right of people to become pregnant, it also includes the rights of trans women to not be forcibly sterilized to get gender marker changes or the ability to freeze sperm. but those two things rarely make it on the radar even when trans women's reproductive rights are under attack.

fuck it. kafcake

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

it's really funny how the entire world basically just blew the fuck up six short years ago and nobody wants to admit that that may have had some lasting consequences lmao

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

like so much of Everything today is premised on the idea that the earth-shattering catastrophe which happened within living memory of everyone older than a third grader has had no meaningful material or psychological effects on the general public and i don't think that's good, lol.

"(some of) the top-line economic indicators (sorta) recovered (in most places) so everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it" is not a sustainable framework for interfacing with reality

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

"why is everyone so angry and paranoid now?" "why is politics so dysfunctional now?" "why is [x] [y] and [z] now? blah blah blah"

when i was a kid i was taught to be safe online. never give out my name, location, or any personally identifying information. i was told to immediately block people who ask for A/S/L. i was taught to always hide who i was, use a pseudonym, only share my email with people i absolutely trust.

and now im supposed to give my legal driver's license to every single porn website and use my email and sign up for ads and junk mail every time i want to read an article and agree to webcrawling ad tracking surveillance to do anything online anymore.

but yeah, its for kids safety. sure. i bet the panoption is much safer than the club penguin and nickelodeon dot com that i had as a kid. so glad we got rid of kid friendly spaces and in turn had to make the entire internet advertisement friendly. so glad we tore down that public park and replaced it with a strip mall and parking lot next to a police station
