Artistic Creator

I am a genderfluid creator who does different works of art. I am an artist looking for my audience. I paint, i draw, i make resin items, I make works with yarn, I write stories, and I sew.

[sirenmelodic]

I moved to Bluesky for posting art and stuff so if you want to see more of my art and things follow me there.

If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.

I have to keep reminding myself that the point of collective action is that it's collective.

It's terrifying and demoralizing that nothing thus far has stopped or more than briefly paused the genocide.

But that's not a reason to stop trying.

If you can protest in person, do that.

If you can donate, do that.

If you can write your officials, do that.

If you can click once a day, do it here: https://arab.org/click-to-help/palestine/

And if all you can do is share, do that.

you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity

[anarchopuppy]

And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“

Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state

Some parents really don’t understand the difference between actual discipline and hurting your kids. This teaches a kid nothing except needing to hide what makes them happy because they’re scared their parents will destroy it.

[danielle-mertina]

Wow…what a terrible parent. Minecraft is A LOT of work, diligence, and creativity. The parent should have been encouraging that. And why does a 9 year old need to wake up every day at 7 am during a pandemic? What’s wrong with this person?

I can foresee an estranged relationship in the future. Because this parent is out of their minds and more interested in exacting punitive control than being a loving caregiver.

[whatjordylikes]

Y'all wonder why some kids are the way they are? This is it.

[ouma-anti-deactivated20200922]

why on earth does a NINE YEAR OLD CHILD has to wake up at fucking 7 am during a pandemic?

[coyotesmokebreak]

also children may require up to TWELVE HOURS of sleep

he’s not being defiant—without the threat of a ridiculous and unnatural hour he MUST be awake at he’s actually following his natural circadian rhythm which is actually HEALTHIER for him

what they’ve done is broken his trust in a MAJOR way. he does not feel safe or in control. which is why he is refusing meals.

honestly? if they keep this behavior up—let alone just not apologizing and finding the save file for his game—he’s gonna develop some dangerous coping skills like yknow. An eating disorder. Dissociation. Self harm.

I’m not being hyperbolic. this is literally how it starts.

[clockworkrobotic]

This is the second time this week I’ve seen a story like this (the first being the boyfriend destroying his girlfriend’s AC island over an argument) and it makes me think – how is this ANY different to someone destroying a physical piece of art someone’s made: ripping up their sketchbook, breaking ceramics, cutting up cosplays? If this person had come forward with a question like “my son wouldn’t get out of bed so I broke the birdbox he made” there wouldn’t be ANY question whether this was abusive behaviour.

There’s an inherent disconnect with how we talk about the “value” of virtual items/creations in video games: something about the way that these things aren’t tangible in the conventional sense makes them somehow less valuable than something everyone can hold and observe and appreciate. Think about the amount of “funny gamer rage” videos out there that are people upset over losing WoW saves and the likes: game saves are often things people have put hundreds of hours into, they have value to that person and are representative of their own dedication. Hell, I’m really bummed at the moment over not having access to some of my BL2 saves (I can’t travel to get my PS4 from uni), and I know I’d be upset if I lost them forever. 

Video games are a massive escape mechanism for a lot of people especially right now, and putting time and effort into particularly building games is a constructive and creative outlet that gives people a feeling of accomplishment (and let’s be real it’s a lot more practical than having a house full of lego). Yet there’s still this weird stigma attached to them, this “it’s just a game” mentality that leads people to be easily dismissive of others’ feelings over losing progress. Destroyed your girlfriend’s AC island, which she put hundreds of hours into building? Whatever, it’s just a game. Deleted your kid’s minecraft file, which he spent an entire year working on? Whatever, it’s just a game, why are you so mad? It’s not a real thing, it’s just some numbers hiding behind fancy computer graphics!

Actions like this are intentional, targeted destruction of another person’s property - property they have created themselves -  by an adult who knew what they were doing and we should NOT treat them as anything other than that, regardless of medium.

[theicysneasel]

By the way: the act of destroying something held very dear with a lot of emotional significance to a person as retaliation? That’s a tactic abuse counselors call ‘bunny boiling’. When an abuser knows about something that you deeply care about, they will take careful note of it and be ready to destroy it when they feel their authority and control is losing its grip on you. It’s a psychological maneuver to create fear, break down emotional security and independence, and reestablish unchallenged control. Pulling this tactic on a 9 year old child as their father is beyond horrific.

This used to be called “Auto Shop” and “Home Economics,” subjects which were included in nearly every high school curriculum up until the 1980s. Auto maintenance, budget management, sewing skills, cooking, and other basic Adulting skills were actually taught in classroom settings. But suddenly all that money got funneled away to sports and graduation requirements shifted toward standardized tests because those were somehow more? important? than life skills? and the home ec and shop classes were no longer taught, even as electives. We’ve been steadily losing arts classes for similar reasons.

And so students leave school with a thorough grounding in football and calculus, but having no idea how to sew on a button or change a tire. 

Petition to bring back these classes in every single middle and high school in the country.

[dissonant-aria]

Like most things that went wrong in the 80s, this is due to Reagan. He signed the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act into law which allowed “Job Creators” to control our educational system.

If it can’t help the Boug make a buck from you, it no longer gets taught.

So I haven't done work on my cosplay purse in a while. So This is new set of pieces I cut out for it. i will do sewing later on. But I only have 1 more group of pieces to cut for the inside of the bag. So this is a cosplay update and more to come soon enough.

[sirenmelodic]

So I just got a new desk to help me do works of art, writing and everything. This is my first drawing I made with it. I made it to celebrate getting my new desk. So hope you like it.

[sirenmelodic]

Crochet myself a small hair tie. My hair is getting close to being long enough to be able to tie all my hair back. My bangs are just too short for it just yet but too long to stay out of my face. It gets annoying a bit. So I can't wait until I can tie it back and keep my vision free to write and draw.

[sirenmelodic]

A random drawing I made years ago. I don't know what I was thinking when I made it. All I know is that I did.

[sirenmelodic]

I drew a cat head a long time ago which added to a large drawing which was ment to be a giant doodle in high school. I haven't finished it as I haven't gone back to add more to it. Maybe one day I will and share it with you all.

[sirenmelodic]

The last of my fanart I have to show. I made a pipo monkey dress up like Kiki from Kiki's delivery service. I loved the movie growing up and thus I wanted to make this.

[sirenmelodic]

So I am going to show this again as now the story is much farther now. As when this goes up chapter 15 should be up or going up as I update my Orokabu story weekly on Sundays. I try my best and the chapters are decently long. It has mature moments and will have dark themes at times.

Twisted love Orokabu fanfic

So I wanted to write this fanfic as something that covers a lot of the time of the Naruto timeline. From their beginnin...

[sirenmelodic]

Another mashup this time of my hero academia's Shoto Todoroki and a pipo monkey. Pipo monkeys tend to dress up like different people as references to other work so I made several myself and have a list of others I want to mak later on. I have so little left that by the end of next week I will have run out of old art to show. Which means I may not be as active BUT means that anything after that will be new.

[sirenmelodic]

As I am getting to the end of my old pieces to go up this is the last knitting work to show. I ended up giving this scarf away after I finished it.

[sirenmelodic]

An old piece i did which was a pipo moneky dressing up as captain Hitsugaya from bleach.

[sirenmelodic]

Another Ape escape mashup this time with the pokemon Psyduck.I drew it sometime back.

[sirenmelodic]

Something I made years ago with cards as I had so many sets of them at the time.
