look i WISH more horror movies were just the directors thinly disguised fetish. instead we got all these horror movies that are just undisguised reflections of culturally hegemonic values and anxieties. like if we got some weird fetishes up in here it would probably add some variety thats all im saying.
i used to do lone follower censuses back in the day on twitter but realized its been so long since the platform went bad i havent done one in a minute and bsky doesnt have polls. who wants to partake in the lone follower census it’s one question
what do you follow me for
metroid
vocaloid / vsynth
visual novels
other
Remaining time: 1 day 1 hour
i like asking so i can get drawing ideas for the people who might be like “oh i follow you for [insert thing] specifically” and im like damn its been a minute since i drew that… or if something is really in the majority i gotta draw it more…. damn it’s been a minute since i drew a lot of things. anyways yeah let me know i like to ask.
semi related but i would say the stuff i draw, regardless of if i post it or not (i draw stuff i dont post cuz im a silly guy like that) shakes out to this ratio
i know most people don't follow me for vocaloid / vsynth stuff mainly on here, but i lead a chinese internet double life and on there all i do is post vocaloid artwork. they love me over there for being the silly foreigner. call me xingkong-laoshi. (xingkong is hoshizora is starry sky) (laoshi is teacher) (artists get called teacher on chn internet)
i just draw the things i like yolo. every art i post is a brainwashing attempt to get you guys to like what i like.
this is like a general overview but fuuuuck i should draw more xenoblade i just replayed xbc3 it went so hard. and fuuuuck i should draw more aitsf it's been a minute. bruhhhhhhhhh.
also this makes me realize i draw a near zero amount of anime things. i think the only anime things i've drawn in the last 3+ years have been dungeon meshi and precure??
Born to float ominously in a tube of green goo in a mad scientist's lab hooked up to all sorts of wires and tubes of indeterminate purpose forced to submit job applications through indeed
I know bugs, especially eusocial insects, don't have the remotest conception of human gender, I just like calling them ladies, tiny women, etc to combat how literally everyone else assumes every animal ever is male and a Good Heckin Boy or whatever
Ive been to this art installation when it was in Seattle it was made by an indigenous artist if I remember correctly it has small patches of astroturf in front of a black and white American flag with a sign that invites people “kneel and join in the screams of the American national anthem”
This piece is called Neon American Anthem bu indigenous artist Nicholas Galanin “to mourn the loss of lives, freedoms, and safety for people and lands subjected to American violence, and to protest continuing oppression.”

[Image 2 Text: If we sen you our land, you must remember, and teach your children. that the mers are our brothers and yours, and you must henceforth sive the rivers the kindness you would give to any brother.
The vtite man does not understand. One portion of land is the same to his ss se met lar he is a wanderer who comes in the night and borrows from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy and when he has won the struggle. he moves on. He leaves Is lathe's craves behind and he does not care. He kidnaps the earth tam is thiaten And he does not care. The father's graves and the childrents tirtright are forgotten by the white man, who treats his nother the eaith and his brother the sky as things to be bought. plackes, and sald. tike sheep, bread, or bright beads. In this way, tie dog al appelte will devour the rich earth and leave only a desert.
Neon American Anthem is a participatory installation designed to activate the American Art galleries at the Seattle Art Museum. The work offers visitors a place to kneel and follow the directive of a neon sign on the wall that reads, "I've composed a new American national anthem: take a knee and scream until you can't breathe." The work creates an intersectional space for catharsis; to mourn the loss of lives, freedoms, and safety for people and lands subjected to American violence, and to protest continuing oppression.
The neon sign embodies capitalism, its text a pointed reference to the murders of Eric Garner, George Floyd, Tyre Nichols and all people of color who have been murdered at the hands of police and agents of the American state. Asking participants to take a knee is a position of deference turned refusal; to scream until you can't breathe encompasses protest aimed at tearing down the systems built to enforce Whiteness, White privilege, heteropatriarchy and capitalist control. / end]
With the context of the original piece, the posted sign makes for a compelling meta commentary on the lukewarm reception of similar works. Here you have people screaming their lungs out in grief, but three floors down it’s just “oh that happens sometimes, pardon the inconvenience.” Do you think the irony was lost on the museum staff? Probably not. It both insults and elevates the original work.
As someone who is both trans and has a child, absolutely hilarious to me that society presents one of these as absolutely only to be done if you are 110% certain and have proved to several people that you want it bad enough and are ready, and the other is like. You might as well everyone else does. Just do it nobody feels ready. You don’t want to? Yes you do
Especially since one of those is pretty reversible if you change your mind after a couple years and the other one, well, technically but that’s pretty frowned upon
im glad we're mostly out of the "girls are so soft uwu" era. it was really hard for me to go through as a girl with a segmented carapace covered in hundreds of tiny barbs
okay, you know what? Running away shouldn’t be a crime. It shouldn’t be dangerous, either. Any kid should be able to leave their parents if they want, for any reason. No I’m not kidding.
“But Rue, where will these kids stay? Do you want them on the streets?”
of course not. In an ideal world, a kids would have multiple adults other than their parents they could look to for care, but I recognize that that will never be a reality for every single child. So: youth shelters, if they have nowhere else to go. There should be clean, warm shelters where anyone under 18 can stay for as long as they need, no questions asked. (And of course shelters that aren’t just for kids, but we’re talking about youth rights right now)
“But Rue,” I hear you say, “what if some moody teenager runs away after an argument?”
First of all, I’d rather a thousand moody teenagers run away than one abused child be trapped. Second, so what if one does? A kid needs time away from their parents, so they leave. The vast majority of them will get some time to cool down and then go back home, and if they don’t want to go back, period? Then nine times out of ten, they have a good reason. (Because yes, as hard as it is for you to believe, kids are humans who have common sense.)
“Okay, but what about the one time out of ten the kid doesn’t have a good reason?”
Then the kid doesn’t have a good reason. It doesn’t change anything. If someone wants to break up with their partner because of something stupid, you wouldn’t say they legally shouldn’t be able to. (And if you would, then you’re just a bad person.) No one should have to be in a relationship, romantic or otherwise, that they don’t want to be in.
