Hi! I'm Nugget/Ezra and I like to draw things sometimes, nice to meet you :D This is my main blog where I share my thoughts and my art. For blogs that block minors I'm an adult. Interact with this blog at your own risk; it's sometimes suggestive, rarely explicit. I won't post porn here ever and I won't stop minors from interacting but this isn't made as a safe space for kiddies. My sharing side blog is @nuggets-showcase. My soapboxing side blog is @no-grass-today. Gender is a mess so currently I use any pronouns, but if that's too broad a spectrum, [they/them] is fine. Currently in a relationship with my beloved Gaudess <3

This is my LinkTree!! If you need to find something (comics, stories, commissions, socials) it's probably here!! Anon asks can always be sent through Strawpage or this blog even if the ones here are closed!

My replies are set to week-long followers only (may change in the future but it curbs bots/e-beggars) but you are welcome to reblog my posts to add additions!

I'm into a ton of different things, including but not limited to: The Owl House, Steven Universe, Star Trek ('specially Voyager but I love TNG too), Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Pokémon, Rick and Morty, ATLA/LOK, Sonic, and Magic: The Gathering. You'll see a lot of posts about those on this blog.

I'm neurodivergent af and royally screwed in the memory department so don't feel too offended if you try to ask or tell me something and I've got no clue what the hell you're going on about. Just give me a gentle reminder.

I don't have a DNI. As long as you're chill in my blogspace then I don't really care what you do in yours. I do bite but only if you bite first... so I guess, to be more accurate, I bite back. Don't test me.

every artist you know that isn't producing pure slop is some maladjusted freak loser. Hope this helps 👍

I could make a chart,,,, or perhaps a spreadsheet of some kind,,,,,....

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

i wanna make a character that's like that tumblrbait twink who's quirky and silly and goofy whose mistakes are always forgiven through his inept quirkyness but i wanna make him the villain, not the main character, and i want his ignorance to hurt people and his quirky response to hurt them more. i hate this fucking character type so fucking much

TW? Pearls are slaves and here's why.

Pearls are not considered Gems. They are not part of the caste system. They are literally made to be possessions for their owners. They are accessories. They are handbags that can open doors. Our Pearl outright says that she is considered to be one of Steven's "things."

"I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things."

Yes, it is true that all Gems have their purpose defined for them before they're even made. And yes they will be punished for stepping outside of that purpose. But in this society, those Gems are people. Pearls are not.

If you think Pearls aren't slaves, or that "Pearls are slaves" is a "take" you can disagree with, fuck off.

[nugatorysheep]

You're welcome to tell me to fuck off with this addition and I'll delete it but I'm actually genuinely curious about the ratio of people who think "slave" is the correct term for Pearls in SU compared to how many of those people are black

Do you think Pearls are slaves?

Yes (non-black)

Yes (black)

No (non-black)

No (black)

Unsure (non-black)

Unsure (black)

Secret Third Thing (comment)

Remaining time: 18 hours 52 minutes

Me personally, I'm always hesitant to use any real world terminology for comparisons with SU, lest we have another "the Diamonds are Nazis" discourse

And the way slavery was enacted against black people was fucking horrific- like, we got made into furniture. Our babies were used as alligator bait. They cut off our toes if we tried to run, or our hands if we stole. We were sexually assaulted without hesitation or remorse. THEY branded us. THEY FUCKING ATE US. Like this shit was so bad that if I made this same post on TikTok or Twitter it'd get taken down almost immediately

On the other hand, calling Pearls servants really doesn't pay respect to the degree of objectification they have in-universe.

My phone is an object- I use it daily to preform tasks, but I dont abuse it for the fun of it. It needs to work after all, theres no point in mutilating the device. You might throw your phone in a fit of rage, but typically you're neutral to its existence. In that sense, Pearls are treated like phones. It's used to do daily mundane tasks, and if it breaks or needs repair, thats what the Reef is for. Pearls are indeed objects as far as Homeworld is concerned

Could you call slavery just objectification then? It almost feels like more than that. Slavery against black people wasn't just indifferent, it was intentionally cruel and psychotic in ways you could never imagine

My answer? I dunno. Maybe Pearls are a secret third thing we don't really have a name for, because we don't live in a society where your toaster has rights

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent
