Hi! I’m Leah and I’m a digital artist. Most of the stuff I make is anime fanart (specifically Utena… expect a lot of Utena) but I’m pretty interested in poster design/realism as well. I also have an incredibly inconsistent style, oops. Expect a lot of eye strain sry

Important note: I hate AI ‘art’, if you’re into AI-generated anything please block me rn. Additionally, feel free to block me for any reason at all I won’t get offended

Anyway below are some of my favorite pieces of mine. Also I have a Redbubble/kofi link in my bio :) thanks :) hope u enjoy my art!!

there’s this internet phenomenon where someone is like “omg is this person/group is the first to ever do [something]”, and then when people reply being like um no here’s 15 people who did that before them the person is like “omg I don’t know those people, how was I supposed to know that” maybe don’t start your sentence with incorrect information??

as someone who hasn’t used Amazon since like 2017, it does get kind of frustrating seeing everyone online act like there are zero other people out there who can also afford to not use Amazon…

like yes of course, if you’re disabled or live in the middle of nowhere sometimes Amazon is your only option, but as someone who is able bodied and lives in a major city I know for a fact there are other able bodied people living in major cities… who can absolutely afford to stop using Amazon, and just aren’t… like genuinely, not everyone is the exception and some people do need to take responsibility for the choices they’re actively making!!!

there’s this thing that happens on this website that’s like the opposite of pissing on the poor and is far better but also still somewhat annoying when you post something where the point is implied and then someone else adds the point you were making in a reblog as though they are like, adding something new and insightful to the post. eg you can post something about a female scientist from the 1800s having her intellect undervalued in her time and someone else is going to add like “that’s so crazy… i think they were treating her this way due to misogyny” and like well yes. i mean… yeah. you got it

“public transportation is soooo dangerous cars are way better” people are usually just being classist/racist/anti-homeless, but they also never acknowledge that the supposedly ‘crazy’/poor/drugged up people they’re afraid of on a train or bus COULD ALSO BE OPERATING TWO TON DEATH MACHINES ON THE SAME ROAD AS THEM??? “I’m so much safer in a car where I can’t get stabbed” ok well that ‘druggie’ who you’re afraid is going to stab you could be driving drunk and run a red light and T bone you so

americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those

“should someone go to a concert if they aren’t a really big fan of the artist” discourse pisses me off because there’s no need to discuss it!!! there’s only one right answer!!!

of course people can and should go to concerts of artists they don’t know very well. That’s how some people become a bigger fan in the first place!! HOWEVER….. if you’re not that big of a fan, you shouldn’t be looking bored and confused or irritated or scrolling on your phone when the artist starts singing one of the 15 songs you don’t know??? If you go to the concert of an artist who sings one song you liked from 10 years ago you shouldn’t be bothered that they’re mostly singing songs from the album that came out 3 months ago that you didn’t bother to listen to??? basically just be an engaged audience member it’s not that hard

kinda pisses me off when non-anime fans are like “umm people in Japan don’t even watch anime that much 🫢” as if it’s some gotcha or something non-Japanese anime fans should be embarrassed about, I truly don’t give a fuck what Japanese people are or aren’t watching bc I was never planning on talking to them about this stuff

not to mention there’s plenty of American-made pieces of media I enjoy that most Americans aren’t watching or reading either, like I don’t think whether the general public of a country consumes a piece of media or not determines its worth in any way

the summer hikaru died was kinda made in a lab specifically for me if im being honest

fanartists who don’t draw Anthy dark skinned piss me tf off like who do you think you are, the Utena movie

up at 3am googling how do i break out of a repetitive cycle that both comforts and harms me

I’m so annoying about Utena in real actual life that someone I’m not even that close to texted me that a specific artist alley booth at ANYC had an Utena poster and it made them think of me

[leahdrawsstuff]

something I’ve come to find very endearing on my most recent Utena rewatch is the moments where the characters are just regular high schoolers hanging out

when I think of RGU I’m usually thinking about the overarching story and the deep messages and the harrowing implications etc etc but in the show itself there are actually so many cute little moments where Miki and Utena are just having lunch together, or Touga and Juri are taking good-natured jabs at each other in conversation, like they are just normal kids at the end of the day which makes Everything Else all the more horrifying

question for severance fandom: why do people call Helly R ‘Helly Riggs’? Is that a fanon thing or is it somewhere in canon and I just don’t remember it lol

Seems to be based off of this photo:

Which, as far as I can tell, was released along with the other three MDR members’ badges on the Lumon LinkedIn page. It’s never shown up in the show itself but the fans have run with it.

ahhh that makes sense! I’ve heard people talk about the LinkedIn pages but never actually visited them myself. Thank you!!
