Jaded With The Straights

Piglet, 29 years of age. Probably gay? Mainly just reblogging art and relatable posts. she/her I post about whatever I feel like at that time. I don't use tags much (makes lurking easier), but I do tag potentially triggering content.

Figured that I should have a pinned post about my blog.

Piglet, 29 years old.

Uses she/her pronouns.

I reblog all sorts of stuff. Mainly art and memes/clever posts. I can't be bothered with making multiple blogs for things, so everything goes here.

Fandoms I'm into: dreamsmp, miraculous ladybug, good omens, pokémon, ace attorney.

I share shipping art, sometimes you will see boobies.

I will share art of media I've never read/watched. Because I like art and it makes me feel alive.

I tag potentially triggering things, sometimes more than needed. Please tell me if something I posted needs to be tagged to that effect.

Occasionally I will rant, but I usually tag it as 'rant' or 'vent'.

I avoid discourse about things that are outside my control. My asks are turned off and they will stay that way.

You're always free to unfollow or block me. I won't even notice, most probably.

This is a scrapbook for me, a place of comfort that is not addictive. As such I'm not trying to gain followers or friends or whatever. I'm just trying to make my day and other people's days better.

Hope your day goes well. :) <3

Niche drama I'm kind of intrigued by atm: Because I recently commissioned an artist my Twitter has been nothing BUT art comm stuff, and Resident Evil Art Commission Twitter is having a field day upon learning about some prolific seventeen year old scammer who apparently commissioned every major artist in the space and then hit them with chargebacks immediately upon completion. Stole a lot of money this way, and I'm kind of taken aback at the sheer number of people who were like "Oh my god yes this person reached out to me too"

I'm intrigued because 1) This feels like such a "big fish in a tiny pond" type of thing to happen because it's such a niche corner of the internet but all these artists were familiar with one another and were like "Oh THAT PERSON? YOU TOO?" which like. If you're going to scam I feel you must diversify, except the intent was clearly not to MERELY scam because they did, in the end, collect several works of their OC and/or Leon, and 2) It kind of fascinates me that in an age of AI images someone nevertheless chose the option of hurting artists via direct financial harm. Like there was a way you could have gone about this that would have somehow pissed them off less but you went straight for "attempt to impoverish someone across international borders"

my favourite wikipedia article is the middle english article about frogges

[king-monky]

“A frogge ben a wee beeſt wiþ foure legges, þe whiche liveþ boþ in water and on lond. He ben broun or grene or yelwe, or if he be tropical, he may be dyuers coloures. He haþ longis and gylles boþ. He haccheþ fro an ei and he þen be a tadpolle. He groweþ to be a frogge, if he be nat eton.”

nothing makes me laugh like “if he be nat eton”

I have a Slovakian collague with an English husband, which leads to the fascinating meld of traditions whereby Christmas presents are brought by baby Jesus (which makes sense because it's easier to fit a baby down a chimney), but apparently still leave brandy out for him.

Baby Jesus is fucking hammered by house 3 unless he's reverse miracleing all that brandy back into water and downing it like ChristGPT.

some people really do need to start reminding themselves that the answer to "why didn't the character just do [something entirely different]" is often simply "because then there wouldn't be a story"

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.

It's 5:30a and I can't sleep and I'm cracking up at this video of someone w/ ab implants and trying not to wake my partner. Obv you cannot use a recently-completed surgery as representative of how it will look days or weeks or months down the line but I'm fucking sobbing at the first comment of the smoked meat

[parkchanwoohoo]

Apparently link won't work so tw below the cut for near nudity, surgical scarring? Bruising? Almost certainly nsfw

And someone replied with a gif of David Hasselhoff's robot chest in the SpongeBob movie and this:

not even funny how true this is for me

[dorothylarouge]

In order to do good worldbuilding you need to be able to think politically and that requires understanding politics

[dorothylarouge]

How do the gnomes of the mushroom village govern themselves and how do they determine the legitimacy of the Giggleking who rules them? These are questions you must be able to answer.
