As an American, I really wanna celebrate the fourth of July because there is a lot about my country that I’m proud of, but its really hard to say I'm proud to be an American without sounding like I dont care about or even endorse the shitty things happening in our country and the shitty things we've done in the past

Like, I know there's a whole lot of bad in my country right now, and it's not all right, but there's a whole lot of good, too, and I dont think that good deserves to go unnoticed and unrecognized in the presence of the bad

And let's be honest, it's fun as hell to be obnoxiously patriotic on the forth🤠

[laikenthropy]

I've actually been considering making a post saying the same thing.

This country has been taken over by a fascist regime and even before then has contributed to so, so much pain and hurt in the world. We stick our nose into conflicts we don't belong in, throw our weight around like a bully, and either refuse to help when we're needed or aid the baddies instead, especially when it comes to our shitty little brother Isreal.

I WISH I could be proud to live here. In the end this is my home and there are so, SO many good people living in this country. Our geography is gorgeous, and we're lucky to be able to challenge our own politicians with our votes, like with the recent successes of more socialist blue politicians in previously democrat blue spaces (i.e. Mamdani).

I'm just. Not. I hate this place. I hate what we seem to stand for. I hate our president and all the pain and harm he's causing and all the bullshit he's using taxpayer dollars for while whinging about mail in ballots. I hate the genocides he's funding, the war he started.

I'm SO fucking tired. I wish we were better. I wish I could be happy about this country turning 250. It should be a milestone, but instead it's just reminding me of how much we've regressed in the last couple years alone.

feel like when i was younger i didnt pick up on a lot of the issues with how the first slayer is presented but my gd they really do spend all of Restless portraying her as animalistic and inhuman and then buffy makes a racist comment about her hair. after they disturbed her from her final resting death to use her as a tool weapon killer for the greater good. when she spent most of her very short life enslaved by the council to stand as a barrier between upper propriety and death and hold the whole worlds fate on her shoulders as a little girl forged into that shape of tool weapon killer. sineya they did you so dirty in life and death.... also hard not to draw parallels btwn that reanimation of sineya's spirit and what is done to buffy in season 6

Most fandoms recommending media: yeah you should check this out it’s pretty good

Buffy fans recommending Buffy: omg I love Buffy except for the racism, the misogyny, the occasional homophobia, the way sexual assault’s handled, a couple episodes I personally hate, David Boreanaz’s Irish accent and also the fact that Joss Whedon killed my entire family. You gotta watch Buffy though. You gotta.

I honestly think there are two things that keep me fascinated with this show, despite everything.

The first is that even when its awful, its awful in ways that make me think, and analyze, and critique. Its influence on media and popular culture, for better and worse, is undeniable and immense. And exploring where it went right and where it went wrong, why, and how it could have been done better makes me understand more about media, about biases, and about how they influence each other. It should absolutely not be viewed uncritically. But it should be viewed.

2, The cast is generally brilliant, but especially SMG as Buffy. Blah blah blah Whedon created it... Whedon created the concept of Buffy. SMG gave Buffy her soul.

Taken as a whole, over seven years, I honestly cannot think of a finer performance from an actor I have ever seen.

My durge!resist needed a new pfp for his artfight profile

Freak of a man. I love him

I want to play an Evil Game where I trick you beautiful TESblr inhabitants into telling me about your TES OCs. So, you can reblog this or comment with your responses.

Here: tell me 5 things you like about your OC and also 5 things you dislike about them.

If you can't come up with 5 things, you still need to even out the likes & dislikes amount so that it's balanced. For example, if you respond with 5 things you like and 3 things you dislike, you lose my Evil Game.

[laikenthropy]

Oh boy. I have too much I want to cover to do this in just the tags, sorry

Starting out with my main, my ldb: Tawny Grey-fire

I like:

her story and all the friendships she has with other characters of my friends'. I like all the time I've gotten to spend with others using her

her sun theming. I ADORE connecting characters to the sun in the sweet/happy/warm way, but I also feel like the powerful/radiant/unforgiving aspect is underutilized. I like that she's both.

her design! I think her greens, browns, oranges, and gold all work very well together. I think for being such an old design of mine, it's actually really solid. I'm proud of it

I dislike:

How convoluted her story feels at times? It feels like I'm trying to make so much go on at once. Figuring out timelines for her kind of sucks, since she has so much to do.

that I don't really like drawing her all that much. Despite adoring her design, it's not something I really find fun to draw as much as it is to look at. That's really contributed to how little art I have of her in comparison to, say, my bg3 durge.

how long she's been with me. That sounds weird, but I really do think I'd enjoy her more if she were a more recent character to me. I do seriously really love her, but it just feels like she's kind of stuck where she was a couple years ago, and like she hasn't really changed with me at all.

Next a non-pc/dragonborn Skyrim oc: Venus

kind of old art by my friend Raechology

I like:

having a mean and snappy character. He's so much fun to write because she's so different to my other ocs in that regard. Playing around with their dynamics with other characters is so much fun for that same reason

who they are at the current point in my tes Skyrim story. I have thoughts about their backstory I'll get into in the dislikes section, but where they are now I really like. I'm very partial to characters who can be likened to feral cats. He's mean and harsh and pushes people away, but with no real intent to harm; she just does it out of fear. I like thinking about how they're perceived by others because of that, who sees through their charade and who doesn't.

I dislike:

her design. It's not like I hate it, but it feels unfinished? I'm not really sure where to go with it even after having them for so long, and it bugs me.

their backstory. It feels like I'm constantly fiddling with it to make it make sense to both explain (not excuse) the way they act while also not making it a huge trauma-fest that adds nothing to his character. It's just a little bit exasperating

Thirdly, my not-skyrim but exists during that time period in a different place argonian: Kerthux-Ei

I like:

his background. I built it with two friends of mine, as one of three argonians based on aquatic monster hunter monsters. He's based off Abyssal Lagiacrus!

his personality. He's SUCH a sleazebag and I love him. He loves gambling at the docks and cheating the citizens of Cyrodiil out of their gold, he loves being able to slip into the water to get out of trouble, he loves pushing people he can't scam towards his also a scam artist mizutsune rival (friend.)

his name. It means watersnake-eyes in Jel, and for that reason he goes by snake-eyes to the imperials! It's both cool and points towards his gambling thing. Enjoy it even more because it's pronounced different than it seems, more like "kur-thooz-eye", because of it being in Jel.

I dislike:

that he feels very one-dimensional right now. It's something that can be fixed with some more thought put into him, but it's not something I have the energy for right now

his patterns. They are utter hell to replicate and so he doesn't have very much art.

knowing he would scam the fuck out of my other characters I love, so I must keep them separated.

[cringeunworthy]

I'm gonna get so much mileage out of this one

I think I should maybe draw more warframes. You people seem to really like it when I do, and I can't deny that I have a lot of fun with all the detail packed into them. Maybe custom frames for people? You send in your fashionframe and I maybe draw them? I think that could be fun. Would have to be after artfight, though :]

[sinderyden]

Character quirks in story-driven D&D campaigns are, of course, well within the norm, and everyone has skeletons in the closet. But if Mirna had a gold piece for every freak she encountered in my Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough, she'd be able to buy herself the most expensive mansion in Neverwinter. And she'd still have some change left over for a cake.

[laikenthropy]

Styanax oh how I love you

[laikenthropy]

This mf gives me so much gender envy it isn't funny

[sashasparrow]

not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.

[laikenthropy]

for my moots here :]

[rookinthecrownest]

I was thinking about Locke (shocker) and started wondering what it would look like if her moon tattoo glowed every time she used her void powers and… well .. hehe ..😗💕 🌙

I made this one some weeks ago, an Oraxia merged with a Lala Barina from Wilds. It got featured in a PrimeTime! Anyway, as always, if you see it and like it, thanks a lot.

Gauss proto for my current narmer gauss look

Similar to my ingame gauss,hes bound to change when i get more Accessoires

Gauss is from a timeline where Narmer is forever and undefeated,no drifter to dave the day,no tenno to help.

And now its bewn years under narmer

this protoframe has no name,he was born into narmer and never needed one

who needs a name if they didnt even need to think?

Atleast he got to learn how to speak right? Well until hus vocal choed where taken for doing bad work...

One day He got into an accident thst broke off his veil and shattered a leg,he thought this wpuld be his death

but then thst man appeared. That man and the offer of a live in another world,a live wizh individuality.

of course he took it? why shouldnt he?

Though,now with a body in constant agony and a world of so many new things.. its lonley and overwhelming.

the gauss hes based on:
