Ghost_of_Charlie @lemonthesh4rk - Tumblr Blog

I think I'm going to make this my main art blog because posting art on twt is a whole mess of nerves for me,

Edit: I will be making an art account for twitter EVENTUALLY (totally not procrastinating that) so I'll link that here when i do

Edit 2: nope not happening anymore the ai stuff is way out of hand it’s not a safe space for artists anymore and I don’t think it ever was

My twitter is private atm and will probably stay that way unfortunately, might post on YouTube in the future tho <3

Strawpage: (under construction)

i think the life series fandom sometimes suffers from being a bit biased towards angst, and angsty interpretations. it's understandable, the series is a deathmatch after all and there's no end of tragedy that comes from that, but i'd also say angst tends to feel less "cringe" and is easier to depict in fanworks.

as a result, players/teams/events that don't lend themselves to that interpretation can often get overlooked, and alternative interpretations can get overlooked if there's an angsty one that at least sorta works.

i personally notice this a lot with the Pearl/Scott relationship, which is pretty often portrayed as if the first couple episodes of Double Life lasted forever. the potential for angst with these two is obviously there, but there are some really interesting narratives of healing that aren't talked about anywhere near as much. even just within the series—something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough is that 1v2s were the winning strategy for Pearl...in part because it meant Scott was able to recover health for her at a distance. it's such a fascinating reversal of the spiteful "taking damage to annoy your soulmate" they did earlier in the season, but it just doesn't fit if you force the interpretation of Scott hating and harming Pearl all the way to the finale, so it's often just ignored.

there's a lot of examples like that, honestly. some players and teams just don't get a lot of serious content/interpretation in the fandom, and it's almost always because their storylines don't fit a purely tragic narrative very well. and, idk, that just makes me kinda sad! i absolutely love the angst too (DL!Pearl enjoyer so like, no surprise there), but i think there's some missed potential in how the fandom interprets things, and what it takes an interest in at all. people who analyze life series stuff deeply and give positive interpretations you have my entire heart

#life series #This is actually so true tho #The fandom tends to forget that the life series lore is about literal gods who feed on despair #and that these gods quite literally represent the audience #They are a metaphor. For the audience.#the irony of only focusing on the angst in a series when that series places the viewer IN THE STORY as a deitywho feeds off of fear is soo.#maybe a reach but this reminds me of alien stage a lot #Fandom wise that is #They have a lot in common #I think there’s a greater discussion to be had surrounding why we as a society find violence and despair so morbidly entertaining #And not criticism for the source material/series criticism for the viewers #why do you focus so much on the negative parts of a story #why do you focus so much on loss in a series that in subtext is about hope #the life series is a death game that seems hopeless #but so many people gloss over the fact that the memebers ARE FIGHTING BACK #they ARE rebelling against the watchers #even if not all of them are aware of their existence #they’re cracking jokes and making friends and treating every game like a fun competition #they aren’t as confused or terrified or scattered like they were in the first few games #the watchers ARE LOSING #they aren’t getting the pain and despair they created the games for #and in that way the members of the games are gaining their freedom #it’s not a hopeless series #they don’t believe they can escape their situation but they’re making the most of it and in that way they’re also fighting back #it’s such an incredible message that probably wasn’t intended by the creators but I love it so much #food for a thought #haha get it cuz food and the watchers feed on their fear haha okay I’ll stop #positive interpretations of the characters and relationships in the life series are so scarce and it’s sad #they’re not doomed #they just need time

I've put together a list of campaigns that have been sent to me in the last few days. I have been reblogging and donating when I can, but I would appreciate some help spreading the word!

Islam Al-Najjar (9.2k/30k - 31% funded) (vetted #332 by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi). He has six family members, and is currently trying to seek urgent medical treatment for his mother with cancer.

Mahrah and Mahmoud Ibrahim Abdel Darwish (2.7k/18k - 15% funded) (vetted by 90-ghost). Their father is disabled with osteoporosis and high blood pressure, and his condition only grows worse with malnutrition.

Mahmoud Ayyad (17.5k/55k - 32% funded) (vetted by 90-ghost). He has a large family, most of whom are young children and old women, and he's trying to raise money to help everyone escape.

Mai (4.9k/10k - 49% funded) (vetted #1197 by Butterfly Effect Project). Her mother has heart problems and her brother's hand was severely injured by shrapnel.

Ahmed Aldany (14.8k/25k - 59% funded) (vetted #198 by Gaza Vetters). I've been speaking with Ahmed and trying to focus on his particular campaign when I can. He's young, only a teenager, but despite his youth he's taken charge looking out for his family, and is currently trying to afford food for them.

Samah & Ibraham Aburakhia (20.3k/30k - 68% funded) (vetted #336 by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi). Samah and Ibrahim have a large family, consisting of 28 members. 15 are children, and they are trying to afford basic needs as they await an opportunity to reach family in Canada.

Ibrahim Yasser (64k/100k - 64% funded) (vetted #25 by Gaza Vetters). Ibrahim is a young man urgently trying to seek asylum abroad with his family. He recently lost his best friend and has been desperate for help.

Aboud Al-Qudra (14.3k/25k - 57% funded) (vetted #408 by el-shab-hussein). Unfortunately his original gofundme campaign was shut down, and he needs help affording everyday needs as well as medical care for his ill family members, including his mother who recently awoke from a coma.

Nour Alanqar (29.6k/40k - 74% funded) (vetted #245 by Gaza Vetters). Nour is a mother of three, the youngest not even a year old. One of her daughters contracted hepatitis, and she is urgently seeking funds for medical care and shelter.

Ahmed Sammer (38.2k/50k - 77% funded) (vetted #428 by Gaza Vetters). Ahmed's son Samir is in critical condition and badly needs to be evacuated to avoid amputating his foot. He is trying to send his son someplace where he can get proper medical care.

Nour Ashour (14.8k/80k - 19% funded) (verified by 90-ghost). Nour is trying to gather funds to help her disabled 4-year old son Muhammad medical care. As a result of the war, he was unable to continue receiving physical therapy and she's urgently trying to help him get treatment.

Fadel Aldany (31.8k/50k - 64% funded) (vetted #197 by Gaza Vetters). Fadel was disabled as a result of his home being bombed, and is now suffering from shrapnel in his body. He is in a lot of pain and badly needs medical treatment as well as everyday supplies.

Nader Ahmed Gibril (9.1k/50k - 18% funded) (verified by 90-ghost). Nader is trying to raise funds to get his wife and three children out of Gaza, but rising costs of everyday necessities has made it difficult to save up.

Please donate if you can, and share if you can't. If all of us sustained focus on a single campaign, we can provide some real help to people who badly need it.

THIS IS A LOVE SONG - Past Life Animatic

I didn’t mean to drop off the face of the planet, I’m just insane

I had been wanting to make something for the end of Past Life and then Lonely Magic dropped and this song reminded me so much of Pearl that I had to commit to making an animatic even though I haven’t in like two years

Enjoy!

#past life #past life fanart #pearlescentmoon #pearlesentmoon fanart #past life spoilers #past life smp #life series #[probably one of my favorite pearl animatic I have ever seen
