“Larper” being used like “poser” is so annoying bc actual LARPers are cool as hell. Get me some armour and a fake sword too

racism literally bleeds through the cracks of everything and if you dare to even barely point it out everyone will kill you

[yossyislandd]

racism runs so deeply in people that if you call it out you are calling out them, and instead of sitting down and examining their own racism they lash out at you for being sooo meansies to them. you don't even have to be talking about anyone's racist behavior in particular because it makes racists so uncomfortable they will come forward themselves and act like you're targeting them specifically. it's okay when they do it because they're doing it in the correct way, in the nice way! they don't mean it like that. in fact they're actually being progressive. you're the cruel one for acting like their racist behavior is racist. you're the problem if you're bothered by their comfort racism. you're the bitchy colored person who makes eeeverything about racism when it so clearly isn't. i'm fucking sick of this.

July Update

Thank you to everyone who helped me last month. I'm sorry for the delay in posting again. I've been dealing with depression and symptoms that point to my endometriosis worsening (daily bleeding since late May, pain, fatigue, etc). Tests need to be done to confirm what's going on. I have not received any contract assignments this month and I still await a response for my disability appeal. If anyone has anything to spare, I'm raising money for bills, transportation, and groceries this month.

I’m a big fan of that post-laundry feeling when you’ve got all your A-list clothes back in the game.

David Cusick was a Tuscarora (Haudenosaunee) artist who self-published the first known English-language record of Indigenous stories told BY an Indigenous writer-illustrator. His book is called David Cusick’s Sketches of Ancient History of the Six Nations and you can read it for free online.

what you learn from hobbies:

consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine

making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential

activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them

wow everything is so expensive

It’s genuinely so gross how common the phenomenon of dark skinned characters being whitewashed in order to be depicted as soft/innocent/feminine is.

[coffinvows]

when artists get rightfully upset about their art being misinterpreted, edited, stolen or even just compared to other medias, the talking point of “well what did you expect, you posted it online” sucks to hear, because god forbid people be nice, just nice, plain and simple

tgis is so fucking funny to me. they accidentally Rock Lee'd a retired racehorse

[voyage-of-the-porn-spreader]

imagine youre a fat horse and your new neighbour is a personal trainer

[voyage-of-the-porn-spreader]

horse that reads Marcus Aurelius

[voyage-of-the-porn-spreader]

I was wrong. they didnt rock lee him. this horse is literally Gai. and i wish he was my dad

oh i'm going to misusle and straight up fuckle this knowledge so badly

[desolationlesbian]

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

💛APRIL/MAY COMMISSIONS💛

hii! ill keep this short since people onowbthe spiel- i am multiply disabled and reliant on my art, i desperately need to be taking in more work as i am surviving on about $200-300 a month for myself and my cats entire needs, increasingly untenable especially as i am regaining access to medical care

i can draw pretty much anything, and styles are heavily variable, but if you have a specific request you want to hash out feel free to dm me here!

more info over on my kofi! thank you for considering and sharing 🥺

[clownpulp]

hii. badly need to take on a few commission slots, have made exceedingly little money this month and i need to buy food for me and my cats. please share 💜

[clownpulp]

hi still trying to get absolutely any takers here. this year ive both needed more money to care for myself and received less traction on my art than ever. im too tired and in pain because of compounding disability to keep up with my personal art because im so severely just scraping by here. if people can please SHARE my post to get eyes on it, i am house/bed bound and it is my only means of making money and at this rate i get more asking for donations outright which i would rather not do.
