Use it wisely, soldier.

Heya! M'just a chick trying to get back into the swing of drawing. I mostly draw fan-art-y stuff, but I occasionally do original things too. I also like coffee and tea, so there's that. Come watch me struggle! And don't be afraid to say hullo.

We both really believe that @plannedparenthood is vital for women’s health, so to show our support we made a comic about our lovely experiences there.

The mature content is for the “blood and violence”. I just wanted to be on the safe side. :p

This was really fun and rewarding. I hope to do more in the future!

Girl Talk

I feel a little self conscious making a text post on tumblr, but this is just something that’s fresh on my mind and I felt like writing my thoughts down

It’s getting better, and there are certainly exceptions, but when I analyze the media of the past 20 years that I grew up with, in general, female characters have been treated poorly. When little girls watch TV shows and movies, what are they supposed to think when the leading lady is a beautiful princess who needs to be saved by the strong male lead? When all the male characters are funny and goofy looking, and the women are svelt and sexy copy & paste models (or gross looking and used for a punchline)? When the girl character only exists to be the object of the male’s affection? OR when the girl’s greatest goal in life is to get with the handsome guy? What are they supposed to think when all the funny, strong female leads are also all impossibly thin and cute?

I grew up with a constant subconscious feeling of being worthless because I felt that the only role I could possibly fill in the “story” of my life was to be a background character. My body was unconventionally shaped and boys were not interested in me, so what purpose did I serve? These self-destructive thoughts caused self-destructive habits and a lot of pain down the line for me, until I was old enough to stop and think critically about what my mind had been fed and decipher the truth from the lies. That took a lot longer than you’d think, and by then a lot of damage was already done.

People who create content that is aimed at young audiences (kids & teens) have a huge responsibility when making casts of characters. The minds of children are like sponges and will absorb whatever you give them as truth because they haven’t developed the ability to think critically yet. Not only that but children self insert into characters they identify with and all of this is happening while their brains are growing and developing.

I realize there are LOTS of issues that need to be addressed in the realm of representation in the media (such as race and sexuality), but this is the particular issue that I feel close and personal to. In real life, women have just as much variation in the way they look and behave as men do. I hope that the characters in shows and movies will start reflecting that*. Let’s see girls with big noses, stubby legs and hairy arms, because girls shouldn’t have to feel ashamed of those things. Every little girl out there should have the opportunity to point to a screen and say “that girl is strong and beautiful and she looks like me! So that means I’m strong and beautiful, too!”

(*should mention, although the percentage is still small, I’m really glad this starting to happen in shows like “Steven Universe”!)

[thelastoutloud]

It’s been a while! But new quarter at Uni = more opportunities to draw!

Here is a commission, specifically asking for “a drawing of two Guinea pigs with swole human arms boxing.” Look at how weird and feisty they are!

Color and Language

Many people are surprised to learn that different languages do not consider the basic colors to be the same. Some New Guinea Highland languages, for example, still have terms only for black and white (perhaps better translated as “dark” and “light”). Hanuno'o language, spoken in the Philippines, has only four basic color words: black, white, red and green. Pirahã language, spoken by an Amazonian tribe, is said to have no fixed words for colors. According to linguist Dan Everett, if you show them a red cup, they’re likely to say, “This looks like blood”. Some languages have color distinctions which are, well, foreign to native English speakers:

Latin originally lacked a generic color word for “gray” and “brown” and had to borrow its words from Germanic language sources.

Biblical Hebrew had no word for blue.

Navajo has one word for both grey and brown and one for blue and green. It has two for black, however, distinguishing the color of “coal” from that of “darkness”.

Russian, Italian, and Greek  have different basic words for darker and lighter shades of blue. 

Hungarian has two different basic red words – bordó (darker reds) and piros (lighter reds.)

Shona language (a Bantu language from Southern Africa) has no one word for our “green”. concept; they have one word for yellowish-green, and a different word for bluish-green.

Hindi has no standard word for the color “gray”. However, lists for child or foreigner Hindi language learning include “saffron” [केसर] as a basic color.

In Gaelic glas can mean both “grey” and “green”– glasbheinn is “green mountain”; glais-fheur is “green grass.”

[rex-luscus]

This reminds me of the ink spilled over the years on the phrase oinops pontos (wine dark sea) in Homer, all attempting to explain how the Ancient Greeks could possibly have thought the sea resembles wine. Explanations included: 1) no words in Archaic Greek for blue, because 2) they were collectively color-blind, 3) their wine was blue, 4) red tides/sea looks red at sunset/etc. 5) all sorts of other batshit theories. William Gladstone, better known for being a UK Prime Minister, wrote a book on this - the first, maybe? His theory was that the Ancient Greeks were more interested in light/dark than in hue, per se. But just google “Homer” and “color” and prepare to be amazed. Here’s an article I just found that posits Ancient Greek color as essentially synaesthetic.

[incredifishface]

omg yes the wine dark sea.

[rex-luscus]

#nobody explained this to me in high school#we all wrinkled our little noses and went#i’m pretty sure the sea is not wine coloured#or what the hell did ancient greeks drank?

It’s weird - this one never bothered me. I just assumed color wasn’t the important part of the comparison and all they were going for was “dark, swirly liquid,” with maybe a side of “the sea is tempestuous and unpredictable and wine makes people tempestuous and unpredictable.” The English “wine-dark” supports my reading more than the Greek, though - I think oinops literally means “looks-like-wine.” Which - yeah, not sure the sea really does.

[fixaidea]

Nope, the two Hungarian word are ‘vörös’ (darker) and ‘piros’ (more orange-y, lighter, like a poppy).

‘Bordó’ is more of a purple.

[kindaoffkilter]

@potcpoi more ways for us to argue over color!

[potcpoi]

Yes, let’s feature in different languages to make things even more confusing.
