Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on hereâ- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! Thereâs more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hairâ-cause itâs a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but Iâve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them heređđđž Iâll upload them all in parts!
Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

Reblogging this again bc im in a serious art block
One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.
Rebecca sugar's method btw.

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes itâs about learning to see other people too.
@tearyeyedcat this was beautifully written, thank you for adding it!
Another excuse for me to post Head Writer of ATLA Aaron Ehaszâs great characters board:
sometimes instead of âwhy canât they just be friendsâ i think it should be âwhy canât they also be friendsâ because sometimes shipping feels much too much like forcing two pretty characters to kiss and be intimate without actually being interested in the dynamic the two people have. what about hanging out together. what about why they like being in each others company. what do they argue about. how do they patch things up. what do they laugh about.

Could we get more of Cross and Killerâs dynamic, i do find them delightful
This will probably will be poorly written but I just wanted to pour a frustration of mine here
Can we have proper representation of revolutionares? People that are frustated wirh the system and want change in media? That donât revolves around the classic: "They have good ways, but are too agressive with it"
Im so fucking tired, really, go fuck yourself if you think victims of a stupid and opressive system should be quiet, if they should behave and do things in a more "gentle way"
There are people dying and your small brain can only fucking think about a opressed character as a antagonist, as a barrier for better because everyone should just, shake hands, everyone should just live in peace with eachother!
Killmonger, Magneto, Hama, Sasuke and Uchiha clan as a whole, The League of Villains, Jet, Silco, Jinx, and several others, that are part of opressed groups in medias that are "too agressive" in their ways. That are wrong because the writers decided that they should be going to hurt innocent people when we know that in real life this doesnât happen â but they want you to believe it does, because every radicalized person is too radical for their own good.
There isn't a pacific way to be liberated. There isn't a "nice" and "bad" opressed. You arenât "one of the good ones".
Get agressive and louder.
idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.
Kinda sad of being reminded that not everyone has the same vision as me, so when I search a hetero shipp I forget people dont usually want to see the man pegged đ
I keep finding every fic with the woman as the bottom, this is so so sad
CRAIG TUCKER CHARACTER ANALYSIS
Bc I fckin love him
Also, before starting: The traits listed here rely on the few episodes/games where we can have more than a glimpse of Craig's character. However, South Park is a satirical media where the personality of a character can variate depending on the intent of the creators, keeping few, consistent traits. So you donât have to have this as a statement of how you do Craig in your fanwork, there is a fine line between canon and fanon and you can toy with it whatever you want;
This will be used too as a way to show why many autistic people relate to him, because i fucking can.
Also!! This video too, was used as a reference.
Starting with how Craig is seen by both the fandom and the characters of the show: Stoic; uncaring about anything else except his Guinea Pig (and, in the future, Tweek); logic, with pragmatic solutions lacking emotional connection; evasive and indifferent to moral dillemnas; way too honest and uncapable of lying; doesnât have a problem humiliating others if it brings him joy; also, often antagonizes the main group, which can be shown as pettiness or annoyance depending on the episode; Overly sincere/brutally honest, and seems to hate liars unless its himself omitting the truth.
The image of Craig being a bully doesnât goes so far if we really think of him that way. He is selfish and in most of the time, a morally grey asshole who doesnât care about the consequences as long it doesn't affects or benefits him (which, can be attributed on a childish, immature mentality all the kids share one way or another. As he changes later in South Park: Post Covid and 2x21 - Put it down). But it is still a consistent trait that can be analyzed.
Craig's bullying can be a manner he externalizes internal problems he has, his stoic manner serves only as a facade of apathy and rage. This could be caused by his father own uncaring personality â he IS shown in multiple episodes to be a conservative man (one quick example could be his resistance to his son's sexuality), with habits such as showing he middle finger that can be passed to his childs. This can be contrated by how enthusiastic Craig was, especially, in the episode South Park is gay! - 8x7; considering how he himself deals with his sexuality later, it could mean he supresses his feminine traits for reasons linked to his own family and views. Adding to that, he is also very mysognistic, and in more than one episode he talks and acts distateful about girls (Breast Cancer Show Ever - 9Ă12; The last of the Meheecans - 9Ă12; cock Magic - 8Ă18; and etc). That can too be related to his queerness. But that can be only a assumption rather than a fact.
The bullying is a result of years of supressing his feelings and not knowing how to properly express it. Supressing for the sake of his image.
I have seen people say Craig doesnât care about his public image, which is severly wrong. Unless you believe what he wants you to believe.
Craig is shown to go with the flow of the people, following trends and even, as said before with he topic of bullying, to do harmful things if it benefits his image. He does just that in Quest for Ratings (11x8); Elementary School Musical (13x12); Lice Capades (3x11); Ginger Kids (11x9); and many others, going as far as antagonizing or distancing people that could be seen beforehand to be friends or atleast have a good relationship with him (Quest for ratings; and him ending his relationship with his girlfriend in Stick Of Truth could, also, be a example, even if we donât have any context for how it was, he only says "thieves work alone, she was holding me back", making it clear he has no problems cutting ties). He seeks the easiest way out of problems (Fishsticks 5x13). That happens too on the game, South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Where, even if we donât have the full extend of the break-up of Craig and Tweek's relationship, he still seeks the easiest way: stay where he is, cutting ties with Tweek. Even if he doesnât like Cartman, he still prefers the confortability of having his own movies first in the franchise. He doesnât even pursue a talk with Tweek, he asks for the player to do it to retrieve his laptop instead of going on his own.
He is a coward. Not even going to the couple counseling without the player to help. And, although he DOES cares about Tweek enough to ask you how he is, he doesnât go to do it himself. He also, doesnât confront Tweek about his problems (Buddha Box 8x22). Again, showing how he is not the stoic boy he tries to be, but admires people who are and seem to not care (with the exception, of course, Cartman, who multiple times has shown not only cares, but dependent on others opinions and attention) like when offering Thomas to do his laundry out of admiration (Le Petit Tourette 8x11).
In conclusion for this part of the topic: Craig often cares a lot, his admiration and regard for others is hardly shown because he mostly keeps his connections at arm length â always prepared for the worst and most plausible option, of leaving them when no longer benefits him. He is a coward, who seeks validation through his apathy, knowing he will be seem as stoic if not showing his most vulnerable side.
Continuing. Craig is often scared of confronting things that are hard for him â like communication. So the easiest option, is to communicate with animals.
His major problem, shown in his hero-sheet at the game, is communication. He is horrible with people, which can be a reason he is good with animals, like Stripe. Acquiring a new Guinea-Pig everytime a old one dies, he shows how important these little pets are for him, also being very attentive and sweet with it. He is very attached to Stripe, as it is canonicly the only thing he cares with the exception of his boyfriend (Tweek vs Craig 5x3; TFBW concepts listed). Is also curious how much he trusts Tweek, when he demands the Guinea Pig back and Craig complies without resistance.
Craig also is a problem solver, quickly enraged by illogic and irrational situations (Pandemic - 10x12 and 11x12; Put it down 2x21; The Fratured But Whole, Mephisto arc;), he is thrown off by things he doesnât understand and put him in a uncomfortable position. Which can fit with how neat his room is. He is not only pragmatic; but weirdly systemic. Plus that, Craig's gang and his leadership can be a proof of how controlling he can be. A sweet contrast with Tweek, that craves and has no control whatsoever of anything in his life.
For this topic, I could only resume with: Craig had no control over people's reactions in conversations, so he goes over to Stripe, that has a predictable behaviour. Tweek is a good partner for him in response, helping him not only in learning emotional maturity over just rational thinking, but taking him out of his confort zone of control.
Autistic traits:
The majority of autistic people that relate to him is because of the amount of traits that were listed before and others I didnât add for lack of any elaboration of the topic, such as:
Having problems with communication and connection with people;
Systemic organization;
Relying on confortability and familiar routines, liking boring, calm and predictable days;
Going frequently to detention/being called "The troublemaker" (especially because Craig is shown to not fight regurlarly, but goes because of his behaviour);
Hyperfixation on Space (astronomy is a topic often liked by neurodivergent people, and Craig has shown likeness in multiple instances);
Autistic people are more likely to be LGBTQ+, which happens fairly often due to a overlap in experiences regarding how both groups process identity;
This makes Craig's character have 2/3 fundamental pillar symptoms every autistic person have to have to be diagnosed (social and executive disfunction), the third only not making it for being related to the sensorial processing, which maybe could be shown if we had more focus on him and his point of view.
So its not so far of the truth to consider Craig Tucker a autistic representation, or, atleast, a great character autistic people see themselves into.
:D
in this fantasy world, theres no homophobia or sexism! but the governments are still patriarchal monarchies and everyone still adheres to the standard nuclear family, two things that have absolutely no relation to homophobia and sexism whatsoever
Being a sex-positive personally-sex-repulsed ace is weird cuz like reading about sex? Awesome. Writing about sex? Not much more intolerable than writing about anything else. Sex is good. Sex is normal. Sex is only as important as you let/want it to be. Kinks are natural expressions of sexuality. Sexual purity is a scam. Bodies are nothing to be ashamed of. Sex work is no more exploitative than any other kind of labor. If you touch me I will throw up on you.
The only way Nolan can get me to care about the movie is if he includes Helen mimicking the soldiers' wives voices and also the sirens. But I don't really find Matt Damon hot so tying him to a mast might not even do anything to me
things that feel like a microaggression
they really said "dye is expensive this year"
Seems like a good time to bring this up again:
Ever wondered why there arenât more fuchsia cars? The prejudice against bright colors runs deep and can be traced back to the age of Western
âhazbin hotel is ugly with bad dialogue, questionable politics, horrible character design, a monotonous color scheme that makes it difficult to distinguish the characters in group shots, and an often âwhat the hell, sureâ approach to plotâ is a shallow and boring take. whereas if you, as i have, really sat down and watched hazbin hotel and just really got to know it you would learn: itâs alsoâď¸ racist
a Black creole man in new orleans rising to fame among high society in the 1920s and early 30s despite the odds against him however he secretly has a voodoo shack where he performs ritualistic cannibalism. he is shot by a hunter when mistaken for a deer and in hell takes a deer-esque form; his soul is owned by a white demon woman who uses explicitly animalistic language to refer to him, and for a time he lived in a place known as cannibal town (her dominion). and he personally owns the soul of keith davidâs character and is shown to keep him on a chain. interesting interesting. medrano and associates if i might bend your ear for a spell i would love to know more about the process of creating this character, perhaps a word association game, an inquiry, even, after your familiarity with racial caricature, the naacpâs guidelines for the depiction of Black life in media, the life and work of w.e.b. du boisâŚif i might offer you some readingâŚ.
