Have Hope In The Face Of Strife

She/her. I'm just tryna live, man. I left tumblr for almost a year and came back for weird ships. I no longer follow back, but feel free to reach out! Maybe some political stuff is allowed on my dash, but only occasionally, and only in a helpful tone

ive put on young sherlock for some background schlop while cleaning up some digital art and considering this is a guy ritchie.... i don't think this is canon to his other sherlock movies, but my man you CANNOT put holmes and moriarty as young mystery solving 20something scamps without making me retroactively get insane ex situationship vibes from your other holmes movies

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

one of the antagonist dudes is named after alexander the great's horse and i cannot take this seriously

was his dad an alex stan??? his mom one of the horse girls of all time??

mysteries

guess who's fucking

✨dead ✨

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

something about the dead/not dead sister plot is giving guy ritchie also being salty about bbc sherlock season 4

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

for everyone going "do i need to watch this??"

i have one statement for you: if you enjoyed the frenetic bullshittery that is the RDJ sherlock movies, you are GOING to enjoy this show

if you're more of a granada era fan, this goes against every holmes canon you could hold dear and blows it up with fireworks.

Ritchie plays with the Holmes canon like kids at the playground with dolls that they can make fly, explode, or kiss by smushing their faces together, with all the writing problems that that implies

the club moss I got for my terrarium is dying, despite being lovingly packed into organic soil with oven-fried leaf litter and bioactive springtails and isopods, and meanwhile in my fridge my fuck ass onions are sending out bright green shoots as happy as could be in their cold dark box of fucking nothing

some bozo with the username laundryguy47 keeps jumping in to all my Halo matches and ruining them. what he does is he turns them into some kinda laundry RP. ok, listen, what i mean is, when he joins the game he gets on mic and tells everyone to go to a certain spot on the map and pretend like its a coin operated laundromat and we're all doing laundry there. and they just do it. everybody stops killing eachother like you're supposed to in the game and they go pretend to do laundry for the whole match. nobody even questions it, they all just do it like thats normal. but that's not normal. its sickening and it cant be allowed to continue

[amazoogle]

some of the sessions have been kinda fun though i gotta say. there's actually quite a bit more depth to pretend laundry than you might think. lately ive been experimenting with pretending to use fabric softener

How have I not discovered Wilson Bryan Key before

[a-book-of-creatures]

"Bestiality may be illegal throughout most of the world, but, at the symbolic level, it appears to have sold a lot of Sprite."

?????????

[a-book-of-creatures]

I get it, I hate ads too and I want them dead, but this book is reaching harder than a Lamarckian giraffe to make its points.

[a-book-of-creatures]

"Ice cubes likely sell more alcohol for the distilling industry than attractive models in cheesecake poses."

I mean, the prospect of a cool beverage is -

"... Thinking in terms of male and female, which of the two Cinzano ice cubes would be female? ... Now ask, what is going on between this female and male set of ice cubes?"

?????????

"... much credit must be given to the American advertising industry for its success in creating a sexual affair between two pieces of ice as a subliminal device with which to merchandise a liqueur."

?????????????????????????????

[a-book-of-creatures]

Are you being sexually aroused by this picture?

[uncivilliberties]

You can't take the piss out of this guy and then post the world's most fuckable ice cubes like that. You didn't even tag NSFW.

[a-book-of-creatures]

I didn't even share the Sprite ad u_u

This is the Sprite ad:

Do you see the subliminal seduction? Do you see it?

Relax again and look deeply into the almost hypnotic organization of bubbles surrounding the lime slice. Something rather strange is going on in the bubbles. The ear, an orifice of the human body, suggests that the effervescence rising from the glass may have aphrodisiac qualities, at least at the symbolic level, especially with the two-balled earring with one ball hanging lower than the other. Something highly symbolic is, indeed, going on in the bubbles above the lime slice. Before reading further, try to psych out the ice cubes in the glass. What is Sprite trying to tell you? The right side of the ice cube above the lime slice forms the back of an animal—a large shaggy dog with a pointed nose, or quite possibly a polar bear. The animal’s legs are extended outward to the left, parallel with the top of the lime. The animal’s arms (or legs, as you will) appear to be holding another figure which is human with long, feminine hair. Her face is located just above the animal’s head. The two figures, animal and human, are in what can only be described as a sexual intercourse position. The polar bear, dog, or whatever, is in sexual embrace with a nude woman.

want to know how she gets her boobs to do that

They're standing at attention to honour the fallen like good patriotic breasts should. And that one boob is turned away out of respect.

Incidentally, I get and respect that this was a 9/11 tribute issue, but it's still really weird to me to see Lady Death holding the American flag like she's the representation of American patriotism like Superman or Captain America.

(Panel from Lady Death/Chastity/Bad Kitty: United (2002), Chaos! Comics)

Text for screenreaders:

Bad Kitty: God, what a mess, so many we lost today. Lady Death: Yes, many lives were senselessly snuffed out this day. But their souls are in a far better place, I KNOW it. But let us remember that far many MORE lives were saved as well -- SAVED by the HEROIC sacrifice by so many noble people! Where that noble selflessness lives, terror and hatred cannot triumph! Life is precious and POWERFUL - it will go on!

"From Batman Catwoman # 3 I had to do a triple take to figure out she was wasn't bottomless."

Given how sheer and/or skintight that outfit is to hug her bellybutton like that I'm actually shocked that Helena doesn't have cameltoe tbh. Also, I guess she feels there's no need to armor anything but her boobs.

Otherwise, she actually looks pretty decent, probably because she's like a nude anatomy practice piece with clothing coloured on top. xD

Helena could really use a cape.

Also paging @bikiniarmorbattledamage since this is more your area.

Text of first image for screenreaders:

Helena Wayne/Batwoman: A body in Port Orange, Florida. Joy. But aren't you the Commissioner of Gotham, Dick? Commissioner Dick Grayson: It was an elderly man. Living alone in a retirement community. Throat slashed ear to ear. Found him days after it happened. He was wearing makeup, some had come off. Under the makeup... his skin was white.

[bikiniarmorbattledamage]

In the era of AI slop I keep thinking "at least bad human artists are doing human art", and then I see something like this and remember that being just a step above soulless plagiarism machine isn't much of a bar to clear.

You'd think that long decades of unfortunate costume choices would make higher-ups at DC and Marvel hand out notes to artists to NOT design bodypaint-thin superhero tights in colors that (depending on lightning?) blend with the character skintone, making her look like she's going commando... But nope.

Or is that ANOTHER evolution of the skin-tight, bullet-proof "batkevlar"?

~Ozzie

I was honestly so confused by this on multiple levels:

The cuirass thing looks like it was actively designed to be harmful to the wearer, like be the opposite of protection.

What happened to Wayne enterprises they can't afford the rest of her costume? Not even some boots or a belt?!

What is the point of transforming Helena from Huntress into Batwoman if they're going to make her costume worse?

Did anyone think about how this costume would look in dramatic scenes? Seriously.

There is literally no way to present it the doesn't distract from the scene at hand to make you wonder what she's wearing and why she hasn't changed into literally anything else.

PLEASE SUPPORT A DISABLED HOMELESS LESBIAN

please help me. i’m a disabled lesbian who has been surviving on the streets since the beginning of the year. i’ve been forced to turn to sex work to keep my basic needs met but the men are disgusting and treat me like shit and i still spend most nights camping in garbage enclosures and eating scraps that the local food places throw me. i’ve applied for section 8 and community housing but i already know that i’m going to be on the waitlist for a bit. i just want to take a shower and have a roof over my head for a few nights without having to sleep with someone to do so. if you have anything you can spare, please consider sending it my way. every little bit helps. i’m sorry for not posting more frequently, my body feels like it’s falling apart and the walk to the library is getting harder and harder on me. please keep this post circulating in my absence. thank you for reading

This is not an exaggeration.  Your download speed would slow down to the point where Windows would make this kind of absurd estimate, and you’d sigh and leave the room for a while (because you couldn’t use the computer while it was doing this for fear it would crash and lose all your progress) and then you’d come back in 40 minutes and maybe it would now say 52 years or maybe it would say 3 minutes, who knew, not Windows.

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service

i was in the supermarket and a guy looked at me and calls over to his wife like "honey what are we having for dinner tonight?" and when she told him he nodded and, still staring directly at my shirt, said "i'll get some garlic bread"

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

[json-derulo]

Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"
