Howdy! I'm Risen Angel (she/her/they/them), a wannabe writer/game developer. I say "wannabe" because I have big dreams but not the executive functioning to achieve them.
I originally created this Tumblr to be my general dumping place for thoughts that didn't fit elsewhere, hence the name. But then I wound up never using it for that and now it's 99.99% reblogs of random things I find interesting. Such go the best laid plans, I suppose.
I currently have asks and mentions turned off and limited, respectively. I don't think I have enough (human) followers to really make it worthwhile; I just kept getting bot asks, scams, etc.
As for the general content here....
Anywhere from 45-50% of the posts here are reblogs of cute anime girl art, because Tumblr's become the place I go to for that apparently. I don't usually focus on any one fandom, because the fandoms that do focus on cute anime girls also tend to have a number of things that I find to be dealbreakers (usually one or more of "the girls exist to be waifu bait and not actual characters", "it's a hentai/ecchi work", and/or "it's a gacha game"). If I find the character cute, I'll probably reblog.
Hatsune Miku pops up a lot because I find her design to be cute and gender, despite the fact I don't actually listen to Vocaloid music or anything of that nature.
A good chunk of the above focuses on magical girls specifically. Again, I usually just focus on "do I find this character cute?" and not on any specific fandom; I figure I'll probably find a magical girl work that speaks to me sometime, but for now I find I prefer the idea of the genre to any of the works that actually exist, for one reason or the other.
As for what the remaining content here's like, in order of precedence:
*Writing advice/memes/etc. I'm a wannabe creative; it helps to reblog things I want to remember for later (or just laugh at my own failings).
*Mental health memes/advice/etc. I'm several flavors of neurodivergent, see reblog note above.
*Animals. Particularly reptiles, bugs, and fish. Especially showcases of how these creatures are more intelligent and generally complex than most people think they are. (I always make sure to tag appropriately, if you don't want to see a certain thing. Noting that here because I know not everyone's a fan of the creepy crawlies.)
*Paleoart and general prehistoric life. Dinosaurs great, and so are the more obscure creatures that lived in Earth's distant past.
*Things I actually am a fan of. Undertale/Deltarune (the latter more often than not these days, but the former still holds a special place in my heart) and Sonic are the big ones, but there's other less prominent things I like and will note if I see them. Generally I'm a big video game person without much focus on other forms of media; maybe one of these days I'll expand my horizons a little more? /Wishful thinking
*Other miscellaneous art that stands out to me for one reason or the other.
*Hope, positivity, and things people can do to make the world a better place. I'm tired of hearing how the world sucks; I want to know how to make the world suck less.
*Other random things I find funny, interesting, or helpful.
Also, this blog is a safe space for queer folk of all kinds. If you have an issue with that, please DNI; I'm sure you have better things to do.

You don't have ever to choose between being a boy or a girl
You don't ever have to use a specific label or term
You don't need anyone's permission to call yourself queer or nonbinary or trans or enby
In fact, you don't need anyone's permission to call yourself any of those words almost by the definitions of the words themselves
There's no judge. There's no tryouts, there's no membership card, there's no applications or fees (and thank goodness for that!!!)
In fact, because gender and queerness are both, at their core, about the ways people feel inside and want to interact (with each other, with society, with their own concept of self, etc.), there are very few hard boundaries at all
And you certainly don't have to figure out a specific label or a specific gender identity in order to figure out want you want - in life, in queerness, in gender, in general - and start to move toward it
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
