obsessed with the april fools day joke from the another crab's treasure devs

apparently one whale years ago was observed doing this for hours and now more and more whales in the area are seen copying it so we think it’s a whole new behavior and it seems to be a response to shrinking food sources.

Instead of expending any energy actively hunting, the whale just holds its mouth open wherever fish are being hunted by birds. To escape the birds, the fish try to hide in the whale’s mouth because it’s a darker area that looks like shelter. …They’re turning into giant, sea-mammal pitcher plants.

I feel like people don't understand what fetishization really means & it has a lot of well intentioned lefty types like afraid of being attracted to people

PATTERN BRUSHES (3 FOR FREE)

I designed some patterns for my original universe project, and decided to make them into brushes, so I can use them more often. Here's my first brush set for Clip Studio Paint! You can get 3 of 17 brushes on my Patreon for free. And you can get the rest if you join one of the paid tiers there :)

it's HERE

And here's an example of how they work:

The fact that there's an actually functional website for the library of Babel is one of those things that fucks me up more and more the more I think about the implications.

it's interesting to me how often people analyze chainsaw man without taking into account the setting. the type of society that characters inhabit is so deeply entrenched in grim bureaucracy that spills into how characters interact with one another as much as loss and interpersonal drama does. the way that people talk about denji and makima's relationship in particular is odd because of how often the physical aspect of their interactions are discussed alone, despite existing and developing in tandem with this dehumanizing backdrop. denji and power having no rights and kobeni being at the mercy of her family/employer is played for laughs as much as it's used to reinforce that this is an abnormal world that makes abnormal people. makima and reze are implied to have been raised by their respective governments. makima uses her status to control denji as much as she plays into his romantic/maternal wants. handing over some aspect of your body to demons are formalized as "contracts" by an employer that has a mass graveyard for employees KiA. around the episode 4 mark I started seeing more complaints about the brownish desaturated palette and morose, discordant direction the anime chose to go with and I thought "no...that's about right. an adaptation for a setting like this should feel like a cross between Brazil (1985) and invader zim."

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

"when i was your age, i was working three jobs to help support my family" and "when i was in college i was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living off of soup"

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO THAT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THIS ISN'T A CHARACTER-BUILDING LESSON, IT'S JUST BAD

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings

Hot take but I’m kind of tired of this attitude that “non-sexualized female character = feminist writing”

There are very sexy/sexualized female characters that are complex and well written and there are non-sexualized female characters that are written TERRIBLY.

A female character’s physical appearance and sexuality shouldn’t determine the quality of her character.
