i am Rather mentally unwell and am incredibly hyperfixated (?) on reuben price so i am 100% serious when i say i believe i am The number 1 reuben price "fan" 👆 i run this shit like THE NAVY!! there is a non zero chance i will behave erratically and strangely around other reuben price fans which usually just means i will suddenly block u for no reason. i apologize in advance for this I AM IN THERAPY!! but yeah i am horrifically fixated on reuben price so the majority of my content is often focused on him + him and chip. if u ever want to hear my many thoughts about him i will genuinely cry and run around and throw confetti and talk to you for 5 million years. if u are curious about my Reuben Price Credentials i will share all of them in embarrassing depth. i Am also someone who loves being very critical about characters and fiction so i PROMISE i am not touching the Average Horrible Man Enjoyer fandom with a ten foot pole. god bless

don't be afraid to ask questions or message me! i'm always willing to make a new friend, especially if we share the same interests :3

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

If (when) you repost this on pinterest at least put a link to the original post somewhere..

i would love to write fanfiction 24/7 and i genuinely have so many wips but. on top of The Severe ADHD i am also realizing that my fanfictions are all, like, just me making really long-winded and fluffy analyses about a specific idea, so it's just 15 pages of characters talking to each other and turning to the camera and going AND THIS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE X.

i don't know how else to describe it . . i have a lizzie and price wip that i was excited about but i'm realizing it's sort of just. currently 9 pages of them Just Talking At Each Other About Politics and Revolution and Class Betrayal. and like. man maybe this could have just been a tumblr essay.

ouuu puts my fingers to my temple and thinks soo hard ouu. deathmetal dynamic that's sort of like cat-and-mouse where reuben gets really obsessed with trying to catch jazz and jazz keeps getting away in increasingly comedic and perhaps intimate ways. convoluted because reuben doesn't Fucking Hunt Himself but trust me. sending assassins to try and kidnap this poor pirate captain with a handwritten note saying "Someone (jasmine) left their captain's hat at my place (evil ass darkport base). Come and pick it up? ❤️". jazz is comically blowing up reuben with a perfectly disguised explosive. jazz is also going out of his way to engage and to keep the game going btw.

Oh oomf my lord please talk about Faye Ferin

OKAY HI IM HERE

faye is so fucking interesting as a character but i gotta say some ground rules real quick bc i run a STRICT program here. number one: if your only response to ANY of this is "shes hot" get out now. this is not for you. number two: im going to call her a fascist because that's what she is. do not beat around the bush.

that said, she's so interesting to me because i love hypocritical characters. i love how she is a control freak, every single issue she's fighting in some part was caused by an action she did. she has all her soldiers wiretapped. on paper, her motivations are understandable; she wants to unite the world and stop the calamity. but what she Does Not Say, is that she is going to unite the world by killing those who do not agree with her, or fall in like with "her justice." what she Does Not Say is that she is actively preventing the unification of multiple factions by (in the case of the undersea) killing the leviathans and stripping the undersea of its magic, and for pirates, declaring a war on all pirates because "pirates killed a RAFT officer," something that we know is not true and that She Herself is responsible for said RAFT officer's death.

but on a less sociopolitical level and a more interpersonal one, she's dare i say more abhorrent. her response to jayson (her own son) grieving over the brutal death of his Daughter was to basically lobotomize him to not care about it that much. she had ava killed and then dehumanized her to the point of making her nothing more than a headline and a reason to enact war on pirates. Ava's mother and sister didn't know ava was dead until a while after it happened. ava didn't even get a fucking funeral or memorial, but her death is used as an excuse for faye to gain more power, not just through war on pirates, but by voiding neutrality clauses islands (like Featherbrook) have and forcing them to align with RAFT, and colonizing islands that dont align with them (like Canella and arguably Edison Kingdom).

a very small thing she does that i just enjoy as a storytelling mechanic is her use of relational terms. in 118, when talking to jay, she refers to jay as "my granddaughter" she refers to jayson as "my son." she refers to ava as "your sister." she refers to malenia as "your mother" she removes any kind of relationship from herself to people she does not align herself with. and when jay denounces her, she insults her son's ability to raise children and does not refer to jay relationally again, literally she calls jay and ava "tainted women." there's a wonderful subtext there about oppression and fascism as tools of a cisheteropatriarchy, but i fear that may be a topic for another day.

Well it being black history month is reminding me how I wanted to doodle something like this down for a while. Since it’s been a lil detail I always take notice of in drawings. These are very simple depictions but I hope it’s enough to give the general idea! Feel free to reblog

[Image description taken from alt: Drawing Scars on Brown/Dark Skin. The left illustration is how cuts and burns looks on brown and darker skin. Top level is the common depiction of using light pink to color it. So no melanin? typically not how most scars look. Of course there’s the condition of raised scars or stretch marks which could look lighter! Next row is showing how they are when scabbing which is reddish and dark. Third row is an aged, finished scar. Burns are marbled in look. They're darker than the skin tone. Last row shows how a fully or nearly fully healed scar, it's lightly visible but still darker than skin tone. Right illustration is a torso with scars with a diagonal cut to show the difference between left and right side. Left has pink light scars, healing? Or just an oversight? Right has darker colored scars. Normal. Same applies to top surgery scars. For recent surgeries that alter the areola, it is pink as it heals (nipples are pigmented on dark skin btw so it’s a weird look) After full care and recovery they’ll look normal (dark).

[picture ID: digital portrait art featuring an older, red-haired white woman to the right, a robotic sea-dragon to the left, and the eye of a white-haired pale woman in the bottom right. the older woman is faye ferin, with spiky pinkish-orange hair that is shaved on both sides and runs into a very long braid. the braid spikes up into a fiery, orange line across the screen, where the extreme close-up of kira is. kira is a pale-skinned woman with curly white hair and a bright golden eye. faye ferin is smiling with the bottom of her face cast in shadow. she has bright red and orange eyes with reptilian slits. she is wearing a sleeveless golden uniform that is covered by the braid and the sea dragon. the sea dragon, or the artificial leviathan, is split up into three boxes. it is a dragon-like machine with red eyes, horns, fins, and metal plating down its neck. it is deep underwater with bubbles coming from the nostrils. the artificial leviathan is in blue hues, while the rest of the image has a bright green gradient. end of ID.]

and why she Green 😂😂

A 19-year-old black trans girl was shot to death this month, and there has been absolutely no media reporting on it - despite extensive reporting on almost identical incidents in the same part of Florida, at the same time. The police, as usual, misgendered her in the police report and have done nothing to find her killer. Her name was Jayla Mcgee. Black trans people deserve to grow old.

A Black trans teen was shot and killed in Florida. Almost no one reported it

Police misgendered Jayla McGee, local media overlooked her homicide, and her community was left to make sure she was not erased.

genuinely on my hands and knees begging artists to leave the Red Paint style of drawing burn scars behind. guys please it is important to me that u understand scars don't look like that. it is important to me that u understand people with burn scars actually exist. this is important. i don't care if you want the character to look "scary" DRAW FACE/BODY DIFFERENCES AND DISABILITIES WITH RESPECT‼️‼️

i feel like largely in media/fiction the Evil Horrible Woman is evil purely because she refutes/undermines the patriarchal family structure and the traditional role of the Woman in it. she's so terrible because she undermines the power of a husband, or a father, or maybe a brother or another male relative. she is horrible because she is a woman with the power Of a husband/father over a child or children, usually young girls. she doesn't conform to traditional, submissive feminine roles; she doesn't obey her husband. she doesn't give up all control to the man counterpart in her life.

so i do kind of love faye ferin for not falling into that trope, at least not so directly. she Is an abusive figure, to jay and to jayson + drey. but, at least to me, it doesn't have the same feeling as. like. the stepmother from cinderella. and she fucking sucks FOR OTHER REALLY COOL REASONS TOO!!!!!

i am absolutely sure there are many ways you could criticize her writing from a feminist/other perspective, but it's just. refreshing to have a woman antagonist who isn't wholly the Abusive Mom Figure. she is THE ADMIRAL OF THE NAVY!! she is touched by the goddess!! she is THE leader of the navy as mana's biggest source of fascist, political unrest, destruction, etc., and of propaganda too!!

(and, from my perspective, it's clear she also isn't the Bad Apple of the Navy. even if she died, if the navy itself wasn't abolished from the roots upward, it would STILL SUCK. it would STILL BE FASCIST and STILL be destructive. she is the face of the face of an overarching system and structure.)

AND SHE'S FUCKING SICK! faye ferin i did not recognize your game at first. you have grown to become a most intriguing and wonderous antagonist in my eyes. THE greatest antagonistic ferin of all time #TRUE. THE most intimidating foe even up against The Nameless Prince #CORRECT.

i love you faye ferin. i am so scared of you and you are like the worst person ever. i love you. please get worse.

[jazforthesoul]

i think the reason many people want jay to have this big reaction is because they arent paying attention to her actions subtextually. the absence of a huge freakout Also Means Something Too, its not just smthn being avoided above table

riptide episode 131 genuinely hit after hit after hit MY GOD. MY GOD. i need to become a 50 year old lifelong professional artist overnight so i can draw Everything Ever.
