Another beautiful comic to dd to the Eridian Welcoming Committee pile - original comic by @justcakethanks
I love these guys so much. I completely gave up on artfight prep and just drew another before bed.
The eridian artist who made a cameo is my eridian OC Flint, a very bad artist who is convinced they are the best - perfect for the committee to comission to make beautiful abstract art.
I'm sorry for this abomination :'D
Fan comics of the eridian welcoming committtee by @justcakethanks - they are a work of art. The committee understands that fire is unsafe for humans, so the hosuewarming was done outside the biodome for Grace to watch. In the second one, they misinterpreted the statement 'we love you to death'. Likely inspired by Valentines day cards.
These were fun to make
Who up hailing their mary
My beautiful eridian ocs: Flint, their mate Steel, and their pebble Spark.
Flint is convinced they are the most talented artist to ever grace (haha) Erid, but their pieces always fail. Steel is just a chill guy who's reaction to everything would be "That's nice, honey". Spark is one of those kids that tries to play with everybody but doesn't really get the rules of the game (just like me fr). What a beautiful family.
my artfight
I made 5 main refs hopefully I'll make more!
urgent !! please help share and support a family in need !! mohannad and his family are still under 50% of their gfm goal, anything counts! link to support is here , thank you so much!
Shoutout to the tiny jumping spider I found in the car. It was a cute little boy the size of a lentil that was very curious about me jumping onto my hand constantly. I took him into my backyard to the wheelbarrow full of weeds that I accidently grew. I hope he has a good time (and brings more jumping spiders to my garden)
(100% spoiler free)
Just saw TADC last act in cinemas it's really good.
The ending is satisfying and is a reallllllly good conclusion to the entire thing. Also the animation was really cool and I want to make fanart (if i do ill only post it after the finale releases on youtube). I watched the show from the start back in 2023 and it's crazy to see it end.
Thank you Gooseworx for creating such an amazing show.
oc art I'm cooking. In order of appearance: Misaki and Azrael, Outis and Kain - a cairn's birdwing butterfly (one of Australia's largest swallowtails), clangen cats (crazy insane doomed polycule happened), Misaki again, AND a planthopper who lives in my room for whatever reason
uh oh
"etymologynerd" is at it again and this time i do feel i have to say something. the disability advocates have it covered on addressing the impact, but there's also a serious problem with the linguistics.
in a video shared on may 16, adam aleksic begins by saying: "i think we have to accept the fact that the 'r-word' [retard/retarded] is permanently coming back and it's functionally changed meanings to no longer directly refer to disabled people."
this first sentence alone betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of language change in several points.
this word never went away. what we're seeing now is an attempt at re-normalization by people who sense that they will not be socially punished by openly using this term.
we actually don't have to "accept" its return to mainstream use. for decades, disability advocates have worked to inform the public of the harm caused by casual use of this term. the harm has not disappeared, and neither will this advocacy and its impacts.
now i'm just mad. how tf does it NOT refer to disabled people? the entire point of a pejorative term is that it negatively invokes comparison to a person, group, etc. the assertion that the r-word has changed meanings is categorically false. at most, its primary context has changed from clinical to casually pejorative, but the insult fundamentally rests upon the original reference.
he goes on to refer to the "euphemism treadmill," another concept he misrepresents by extending the metaphor to say that terms which have been sufficiently distanced from their original reference are no longer pejorative. to quote: "...once we sufficiently distance a word from its historical usage, it stops taking on the same offensive power and just becomes colloquial instead."
which... what? what the fuck is he talking about? the words he uses as examples – idiot, imbecile, and moron – are definitely still offensive, if perhaps less impactful. "just becomes colloquial instead" is a nonsense phrase. are offensive words not colloquial? the only english word that comes to mind as having changed so much in definition as to no longer be offensive is "nice," which has been shifting in meaning for more than 700 years and was never a weaponized clinical term.
he ends by saying, "it is undeniably true that the people who are afraid to say the r-word right now are going to get old and die out, while younger generations keep saying it with no knowledge of where it came from." again, fundamentally misunderstanding language change in society over time. it rests on the assumption that we're all going to start or re-start using this slur and never have a conversation about its harms, which just completely ignores both the abovementioned disability advocacy and the fact that people tell each other not to use offensive words. you think i'm just not gonna teach my kids that using slurs is bad??
the whole video is devoid of both empathy and an understanding of long-term semantic change.
tl;dr etymologynerd is wrong, we do NOT "have to accept that the 'r-word' is coming back," and we all need to read more crip linguistics.
heretic, apostate, dissenter
Something I wish I saw more of with OCD rep is showing more of the really rough parts, and I mean really really rough this could be confused for a delusion by an onlooker who doesnt understand parts.
Like what do you mean a couple days ago my brain fully convinced me all my friends want me dead. And I dont mean that in the exaggerated haha I think my friends hate me way. I mean it in the "getting close to me was all a ploy and they are all planning my murder, yes even the online ones that cant reach me" way. There's a reason OCD can get misdiagnosed as schizophrenia sometimes yall.
It sucks but I don't think I have ever related to any OCD rep that wasnt written by me. (Except maybe for Moira and Pan Un/Bound.) I know I may be biased cus mine is more harm OCD when half if not more of OCD rep is surface-level contamination, and sometimes *maybe* moral (and I have my own gripes with how some people view moral OCD. But I have seen some good rep of it in comics!), but it really does feel like people dont even want to touch the Scary Symptoms(i.e. magical thinking) or harm OCD with a large pole.
This!!! Theres hardly any depictions of OCD that isn't 'clean' or 'comfortable' in media
My compulsions tend to spiral into self injury because the terrible thoughts i have make me want to rip my skin off.
my oc Azrael was written to have OCD. I made him before I was diagnosed but later realised WHY i saw myself in him. the way he preens his feathers until he bleeds because something is going to kill him and he's gonna hurt his sister friends and lovers but maybe they are going to killHIM instead if he doesnt fix everything. Because yeah, there are small things, like washing, counting, tapping. blinking (and dont get me started on how that has bloody ruined me so much) but theres also skin picking, hair pulling. things that leave scars because the only way to deal with ugly thoughts is to do ugly things. Neurodivergent rep in media is so incredibly rare in general and growing up it was so hard to relate to anyone as an autistic kid. but OCD is even less represented in media outside of the clean, fastidious individuals that many people view those with OCD to only be. Hell I related to a character with self-destructive tendancies in some niche book because their behaiviour was that dirty painful ugly side you never see.
Which is why when there is the (rare) amazing OCD rep of less socially accepted obsessions and compulsions in media, I get very happy(?) because i feel /seen/ for once.
Some ocs and stuff. Maru is a Ruby Cuckoo Wasp and Ace is just one of those common rove beetles you see around Australia.
Now with bonus Dr Wilson, Hornet, Pale King and Collector
project hairy male or sum
wow ass lighting
post-canon silksong au i saw in a dream a while back and now i'm invested
Basically the concept is after act 3, but like some things happened in the void so Hornet died to let Lace live, the everbloom wasn't destroyed and Lace got the silkheart Hornet took from her for some reason (yes ik this is incoherent let me cook)
Shakra x Hornet was canon in this AU, and Shakra becomes a sort of mentor(?) to Lace. Shakra is helping rebuild Pharloom.
Lace and Second Sentinel relationship kinda because HEAR ME OUT THEY WORK THEY WORK THEY HAVE SIMILLAR EXPERIENCES AS A RESULT OF BEING GIVEN LIFE AS A RESULT OF THE WEAVERS. Sentinel learns to live and make their own choices and Lace learns to be her own person, and is allowed her righteous anger. And Sherma is such an amazing sweet child let's make him the king of Pharloom (Sherma the Star mention)
im half delirious on melatonin rn lamo but this au is what im doodling instead of studying whatever the fuck im doing in chemistry
the sidequests i go on every time i decide to make anything...
Just started watching The Pitt. Holy crap I'm so invested
