I'm a nonbinary idiot (they/them) (22), feel free to do with that as you like. pfp by @justanotherpersonsuniverse! Check out my writers blog: @Gears-twisting-and-turning
PSA: Just a friendly reminder that whenever you start a creative project, you will invariably hit a phase where the Thing™️ appears horrendous and you start asking existential questions. But if you keep working, it invariably passes and starts to resemble something less like the devil’s vomit. Doesn’t matter if it’s art, writing, or what–this happens repeatedly. Carry on.
being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something
Hello nonblack reader of this post, I think you ought to share this one so that you and your peers can actively remind yourselves 1) of how your Black peers feel when you tolerate antiblack racism in your art spaces for entertainment and 2) that we notice it, but don't believe it is secure around enough of you to bring it up 🙏🏾

Boycott launch date of Switch 2 and buy it the next day, June 6.
This has worked before:
When the 3DS released, it was over priced too. No one bought it so then they lowered the price!
It has happened before, it can happen again.
If you can wait even 1 day at least, or 1 week at best, it will make a difference.
Spread the news. In solidarity of those who can't buy Switch 2, those who can buy it should at least boycott the launch date. I garantee you it WILL make a difference.
Remember the consumer is always right.

This isn't my usual Tumblr content but it's definitely an important announcement.
To keep it short, my partner's art was recently stolen, as in traced and passed off as the tracer's. I'd like to encourage anyone that sees this post to spread the word and keep a look out for any uncredited/miscredited artworks that belong to @s0upbuggi , as they are the original creator of the works.
I don't want to start a witchhunt on the art thief as they have already publicly apologised. All I would like to do with this post is find and correct the tracing and credits. If you have any specific information that could help us find the tracer's Tumblr however, that'd be greatly appreciated.
Bug uses the light/glow brush from Procreate, and mostly draws in digital. Here are examples of what to look for either in here or other platforms (for people who haven’t recognized their art style yet):
autistic anger issues are So Much. i have my temper more under control now in that i rly dont yell/lash out anymore but i do regularly boil inside with incandescent uncontainable rage over something inconsequential and then it evaporates in the span of ten minutes. incomparable
This is just a quick reminder that this blog is not a safe place for you if you are a terf. Especially if you try and push the fucked up idea that Aphrodite does not love trans women. I am trans myself and won't tolerate my sisters being disrespected by miserable radfems. Ty.
Lady Aphrodite loves everyone. Including trans people.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…
Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?
if I was a grown adult who had presumably graduated from some sort of children's learning institution, and still objected to using the word "growled" as a tag for dialogue spoken in a low, rough, angry voice, and thought that it actually meant the character finished speaking and then went "grrrr grrrr grrrr" like a dog, I would not advertise that fact by putting on a Rory Gilmore-ass personality about what a good reader I was
if you have time to scroll, you have time to read.
however, i'll start with a shorter version. family currently living in a tent in al mawasi:
two adults
three young adults
16 year old
14 year old
4 year old
infant
and
19 year old in egypt, separated from the family, and at risk of getting expelled from college due to tuition fees
no winter clothes. insufficient food. diapers needed for the baby. donate here. it takes thirty seconds. anything helps.
more information for those willing to spare more time:
a month after my new friend lobana (@lobana2001) got her bachelor's in english translation, israel's bloodthirsty attacks on gaza began. she also recently became an aunt to baby aziz. it should be a time of celebration for her, but, instead, she lives in a tent with the rest of her family and is forced to worry about whether her newborn nephew will stay warm enough as winter settles in.
her sister (nahariya) and her husband biggest problem should be baby aziz teething, not if they can afford to feed both themselves and the baby--if they can afford anything at all.
mohammed should be continuing his studies in computer science, but his university was destroyed.
mamdouh should be able to devote his complete attention to his studies in medicine in egypt, but, with his family trapped in gaza, how can he?
luqman (16) and asim (14) should be learning who they are, making new friends and good memories, and finding their place in the world. bayna (4) and aziz (infant) shouldn't have to know fear at all!
and that's not to mention the parents, naseem and reem, who are under unimaginable levels of stress trying to help their children through this literal nightmare.
please donate anything you can.
also: you can reach lobana on whatsapp! that's where i've been talking to her. you can message her on tumblr if you want her number. thank you so much if you read all of the way through.
@batmanego @catgirl-lenin @lonniemachin
as it’s now ramadan, the family is trying to participate as best they can under the circumstances. donations for food for iftar would be greatly appreciated 🌙
