This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

i wish there were more ways to communicate to people under ~30 the scale of what the aids epidemic was like before antiretrovirals, the numbers (both absolute and relative) of people who died, and kept dying, every day for years and years and years, because it's very hard to truly understand looking back from today if you aren't actively seeking out understanding. the photo above of the choir is one thing that works well, as is this piece from 1987 by fran lebowitz.

why are lin qiushi and li dongyuan behaving like not touching each other for five seconds is a death condition

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

So, I return after a long hiatus bringing MisVil art! This piece was done for the Danmei Gatcha for Gaza, as a gift for @lavender-and-rue who prompted for nsfw fanart for a danmei novel that was less well known. And since (at the time) MisVil had only just been liscenced and was one of my favorite danmei of all time...

This took way longer than I intended it to, but the pose took forever to work out (many thanks to @saki-the-cup-bearer-blog for tireless help in figuring out what I needed to do with Song Qingshi's leg to make the anatomy mostly line up) and I admit I kind of went crazy trying to jam more and more design elements in (it just looked too empty with only the vines) but I really love how it turned out.

This is mostly watercolor on cold press paper, with a bit of marker (in both their hair) and some colored pencil (mostly in the skin) for added details.

Sorry for the wait, @lavender-and-rue, but I hope the final product makes up for it!

xuan su is xin mo with extra layers

luo binghe has trauma relating to shen qingqiu -> wears the resulting personal damage on his sleeve -> wields a sword named xin mo (almost literally, inner demons) against the world. fairly straightforward, everything is spelled out

yue qingyuan has trauma relating to shen qingqiu -> turns the resulting personal damage inward -> wields a sword named xuan su -> xuan su is hard to translate, but specifically this is a term associated with autumn weather -> 'xuan su' is a pretty lofty-sounding name on the surface (imo), but with a hidden allusion to autumn (qiu) underneath -> that's the same qiu in shen qingqiu, which is awfully fitting for that which is bound to and slowly killing yue qingyuan's soul

[liusumeowhua]

anyway in the past i wrote an au where shen qingqiu is turned into xin mo (both yuan and jiu flavours) and well, i can't fit shen qingqiu-as-xuan su into that particular au, but now i can't help thinking about the general concept...

I see that "learned helplessness" is the hot new psychological term getting wildly misused. the phrase you're looking for is "weaponized incompetence," babes

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

weaponized incompetence is when your partner does chores shitty on purpose so that you stop asking them to do chores. learned helplessness is when you've experienced so much trauma that you've developed the mindset that you can't meaningfully change your situation and have become accordingly passive.

if your partner is exhibiting learned helplessness they aren't manipulating you, they're displaying a trauma response.

yearly reminder, the Met Gala is a fundraiser that serves as the primary source of funding for the Met's Costume Institute. the money that invitees pay for tickets and almost all other proceeds from the gala is charity that goes towards a museum collection which otherwise likely wouldn't exist. please support public and private funding for information institutions

[bealittleimprobable]

People keep needing to be told this, year on year, because they just want to go "Eugh, rich people!" (But you know, they'll stay glued to every liveblog about it.)

There's a documentary called The First Monday In May about the 2015 Met Gala and it's really interesting - it goes into how much the costume institue has to be self-supporting, and does touch on how the reason is basically misogyny, "it's just clothes" like that isn't a huge part of human history and an art form in itself.

(Warning for some racism, it's the year the exhibit was based on "China through the looking glass" and this is being handled by white people like Anna Wintour, it's about how you'd expect.)

This year, Lewis Hamilton bought a table specifically to invite black women whose work he wanted to recognise. Fashion houses and other companies usually buy tables and invite celebrities, which is why you get people on Twitter whining "But why was so-and-so invited?" - because Burberry or whoever wanted to dress them and show them off.

[vaspider]

The number of people who reblogged this with tags going "but STILL it IS rich people" are exhausting.

Also, like, do you not understand that shit like this is the primary way that art and humanities institutions extract money from the pockets of rich people? Is that ideal? No. Should they be taxed more? Yes. Please stop being exhausting, though. Thanks.

[lttrsfrmlnrrgby]

"Ugh, costumes, so frivolous, who cares about exhibits about designer clothes that only rich people wear?"

Do you think designer clothes are the sum total of the collection? Do you not want the art and craft and science of textiles to be researched, preserved, and advanced? Do you not want the experts in their fields able to work successfully and continuously on long term projects at a financially and interpersonally supportive institution that documents and preserves the methods and products of clothing from all over the world? Do you think that there is no merit in paying attention to the ancient craft of keeping ourselves safe from the elements and our environment and the work humanity has put in to making clothing not just protective but artistic? Do you think that all of the unnamed, unknown masters of their crafts, many of whom were marginalized even at the time they were making their masterworks, deserve no recognition?

C'mon man, just admit you're a whiny hater with no critical thinking skills and shuffle off to the clearance rack at the Walmart while you uncritically complain about the cost of the low quality fast fashion that is a direct result of your uncritical, non-intersectional denigration of craft.

Okay see I saw this and went “Oh it’s SPN, that’s Dean and Sam” so. I guess we know which brainrot I have.

[rimonoroni2]

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
