👋 hi every nyan. I'm Esa/Shako. I'm a digital artist based in Ohio/USA. I'm 22 years old and use They/Them pronouns. I'm also Greek-American!

Due to some of the content on my blog I ask that you are 18+ when you follow. If you're a minor and happen upon my art in the tags feel free to interact with it, but I'd rather keep my actual blog and anyone who would largely interact with my reblogs to be 18+. Thank you!!

Twitter @ Wailingbell

Artfight @ Wailingbell

TikTok @ Wailingbell

Below the cut you can find things I'll regularly post about + important tags.

Here's things you'll find on this blog that I will post regularly/be super into, in order of how likely I'll be to post about it:

Starlight Express

Project Zomboid/OCs

Ninjago

Overwatch

Dead by Daylight

Outlast trials

Silent Hill (specifically Silent Hill: Origins)

Tags:

#my art (art tag)

#txt (original post/text post tag)

note for some of my Stex/Ninjago followers, since I frequently reblog/post horror stuff ie. Outlast trials and they might want to filter stuff: I will tag posts just with the content in question ie. #gore instead of #tw gore. I try my best to tag things appropriately but my blog is inherently NSFW; I don't repost explicit porn but I do reblog nonsexual nudity and generally don't tag it. Follow with caution ect ect.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

[tinyyellowflowers-blog]

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

[sun-cheyne]

As someone that has had to go through this while being very poor, I can say this is VERY effective. While this is a fantastic build, you can even do just a single filter against the fan, or a fan on one side of a cardboard box and a filter on the opposite side.

Can confirm - works GREAT! BUT!!! equally important - keep your windows CLOSED.. if you've got leaky seals around your doors, consider stuffing them with wet towels. keep that toxic crud out of your living space as best as you can.

WEAR A MASK outside your home.

People don't like when I talk in the OW team chat I couldn't ever imagine why

[stormsbourne]

one day it'll happen to you. you will stay up a bit too late playing a video game and not get to bed on time. I've done it before, you'll think. I'll be fine. but no. you will make it through most of the next day and then at about 2pm you will feel like a reanimated corpse whose sim meters are all completely fucked and nothing hurts exactly but everything does feel very bad. and you'll think oh yeah. I'm not twenty anymore

🚨🥺 Please don't let my time run out.

💔 My name is Malak, and I am a young girl from Gaza. I was seriously injured during the bombing, and since that day I have been living with constant pain while waiting for the surgery that could save my life.

⏳ There are only 5 days left until my surgery, but my family still hasn't been able to raise enough money for my treatment. The war took away our home and our sense of safety, and now my biggest wish is simply to recover and live without pain.

🙏 Every donation, no matter how small, gives me a better chance of receiving the urgent operation I need. If you can't donate, please share my story with your friends and family. A single share could reach someone who is able to help.

🤍 Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during this difficult time. Your compassion gives me hope that I will make it through this.

Time is running out. My wife's life is in danger. This is not an exaggeration. It is the reality we are living every single day. Doctors have confirmed that my wife's condition is getting worse because of severe vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition. Her body can no longer endure any more delays. Sadly, this will be the third surgery she has to undergo, and her exhausted body can no longer bear more pain or more waiting. She urgently needs treatment and surgery, and every day without support puts her life at even greater risk. I stand beside her feeling completely helpless, watching the woman I love grow weaker day after day while I desperately search for a way to save her. If you are reading these words, please don't scroll past them. Your donation, no matter how small, could give my wife a chance to survive. If you cannot donate, please share our story. It may reach the one person who can help save her life. Please don't let time run out before my wife gets her chance to survive. Vetted by GazaVetter #520

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[systlin]

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.
