"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

Who Actually Gets to “Escape” Into Fandom?

All experiences of escapism are not created equally.

played gw2 recently, and wanted to draw this lovely guardian angel who revived me repeatedly, and actually ended up escorting me all the way to safety

playing guild wars 2 as a level 40 noob who loves exploring is quite interesting to say the least xp

I'll be exploring these 70-80 lvl areas and dying every few steps cause enemies can literally oneshot me, so like shout out to all the poor high level players who kept running over to revive me <3

its genuinely so funny, cause like they'd revive me and I'd get killed again before I could even say thank you. Some eventually gave up cause I just kept walking into danger like a clueless mushroom

i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness

Happy pride to black trans people in particular I know it can be tough out here with how often the image of what and who counts as queer always seems to never consider us

[spreadassholesdotorg]

[dark-spirit-tamamoland]

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

[puppetstuffing]

watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/

[puppetedlove]

[tamamowand]

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

Rough sketches of Katia since @rowan-555 asked to see her! Thank you!!! I have more doodles under the cut from when I was brainstorming what she’d look like. I’ve landed on this more Bjork-inspired, art-teacher-meets-monster-truck-driver look but my previous ideas are fun to look at also. Also pssst, I’ve already made it to the hunting grounds. I can’t stop reading. 💥
