small brain: villains are bad characters

big brain: villains are not intrinsically good or bad. as long as they're interesting, it's okay to enjoy them responsibly.

galaxy brain: you actually don't need to justify liking a villain character, no one cares, it's a fucking story. internet discourse is stupid. their narrative purpose doesn't dictate what you can and can't enjoy. there's no threshold a character needs to pass for you to like them and anyone who disagrees can mute you because the internet is a self curated space and you aren't doing anything wrong. this villain's ideologies might be problematic in a real world setting, but that's not where we are. just move on and stop trying to justify yourself to strangers with no bearing on your life or your enjoyment of narrative tropes and characters.

quantum universe brain: he's done nothing wrong, ever, in his entire life, and if you disagree i will fucking see you on twitter

hot take: ‘chivalry’ is fine as long as it’s adapted to 21st century values. if you are a male, you SHOULD be aware that your female friends face certain issues that you as a male dont. acting on that awareness in a way that keeps your female friends safe, isn’t a bad thing.

like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.

if the ‘chivalry’ inconveniences everyone involved and you’re just doing it for your over-inflated male ego — ie, “no you’re the girl here, you HAVE to let me hold this door for you and do all these things for you even when you can do it yourself and im just slowing you down” — then it’s just outdated misogyny.

Chivalry was literally designed to make nobles aware of their power and influence so they don’t unintentionally harm people when trying to do their job of leading and protecting people. Modern chivalry should carry on that sentiment of men and white people becoming aware of their own power of privilege and influence to help and protect the lives of their peers.

*Not to inflate their egos, but because it’s the good thing to do and makes the world a better place to be.

Chivalry, at its core, involves being helpful to people who don’t have your advantages. 

It involved generosity and protecting those weaker than oneself: including opening doors when doors were made of badly fit heavy wood and often got stuck,and women, especially undernourished exhausted-from-childcare women, had a harder time opening them. It involved not lying, and following through on your promises. (A guy who is consistently late with the accounting reports, which delays the whole team, is not dedicated to chivalry, no matter how polite he is on a date.) 

Chivalry is a code of ethics that involves dedicating one’s strength and skills in service to others; it’s not based on gender roles.

Hozier in his songs: ~Mystical, alluring, seductive, feels world-weary and knowledgeable, somewhat intimidating and a hint of danger~

Collab/commission with the lovely and ultra talented @clara-gemm! She did the sketch and then let me have at it with colors. You can see the original sketch here.

Once again: if you want to achieve something bigger, you have to work in a team. 

Guys, note that Yam is open for commissions!

The thing that’s really unique about the work: it treats his audience with respect. People are really hungry for that now. People are able to know when they’re being fed homogenized and factory-produced music, and they’ve had enough of that. 

I won’t corroborate that. I am a panderer…an absolute peddler of muck.

I want to apologise to

- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown

- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world

- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music

- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever

- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer. 

- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work. 

- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much

- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.

- Hating the color pink during my teenage years, when it’s actually a lovely color and what I resented was society’s pressure to perform femininity.
