Why are y’all surprised that borderline capitalists and liberals like Hobie when they hate leftists, especially black leftists, irl 💀
Real people saying these things make them think and feel guilty, when a real person says we cannot thrive or make significant change by utilizing systems stacked against said change, they have to think about their own lifestyles and ideals. When a real person says violence is the answer and money needs to become meaningless, all they think is “but I could get hurt or in trouble” and “but I’ll never be rich”.
When Hobie says it it’s just a character being entertaining. There’s a bit of truth but you don’t take it seriously because you don’t have to. It’s the same way they’re fine with saying ACAB posts and reading books on anti-racism but can’t muster up the courage to tell their friend to stop saying the n word. It’s all cute till it’s you irl, so ppl who know leftists irl and don’t like them will love hobie. It feels like KNOWING Hobie maybe kinda sorta has a point is enough to negate the idea that their complicity in these systems irl is actually harmful.
It’s like that thing where ppl do bad things and think knowing it’s bad is the same as being apologetic and changing or deserving forgiveness.
Like in conclusion, it’s easy to like Hobie when you’re not face to face with someone like him and you’re not expected to do any work. It’s the same thing as yt ppl liking the Medea movies. God forbid a black person is actually loud in public but it’s fine when they’re doing their little jigs just for you.

hey @sillysealll!! Im the anon who sent you this ask. I did in fact end up doing it.
So here’s my… I don’t even know what to call it? It’s not a redraw because I definitely traced it, but it’s also more than just a coloring job. I guess I can call it an edit?
Here’s my edit of the first page of sillysealll’s amazing kid gang au!
and down here is the original ⬇️
soooo… you may have noticed that I changed Jason’s outfit. That was by accident 😔. I misunderstood his clothes and by the time I realized, I was already committed. So then I thought… what if he’s just borrowing Dick’s hoodie? So I colored it red and here he is. Wearing Dicks hoodie.
also, I tried to keep with the original style, but by the time I got to inking that was kind of out the window bc I got super pen-happy.
Oh, also also! Nobody asked but this was my Batmobile ref (I flipped it)
I gotta find a faster way of coloring— I literally traced your art and it still took me 11 hours

Me holding my tongue whenever I see a post related to "activism" that is lowkey ableist or forgets about disabled people and tries to guilt trip people into doing something that might be much more difficult if not impossible to do for someone with a disability, or alternatively, tries to guilt trip people into boycotting resources that might be the only option for disabled people who have difficulties going out or traveling places:

okay i’ve had fucking enough of this so let’s clear something up right now: the fire nation did not colonize the southern water tribe.
here is the literal fucking definition of colonization:
see the common thread there? settling.
as in, people from the colonizing country have to actually live in, and establish control over the local government and people of the country being colonized.
as established in show canon, the fire nation did not send anyone to live in the southern water tribe. the fire nation did not establish its own form of government in the southern water tribe. the fire nation did not depose the existing leadership of the southern water tribe, set up a puppet ruler, or otherwise exert any form of political, social or religious control over the people of the southern water tribe. what the fire nation did do was commit genocide against the southern waterbenders.
the only country that the fire nation colonized in atla was the earth kingdom, but somehow, i rarely see the colonizer argument applied to jin/zuko, suki/zuko or toph/zuko. sokka/zuko is one of the most popular ships in the fandom despite the fact that…. *checks notes* sokka is also from the southern water tribe, a place zuko supposedly colonized. funny, i don’t see anyone hating on zu/kka for that though.
zuko and katara are not a colonizer/colonized ship in the show, and neither is the dynamic between their countries reminiscent of our reality. zuko and katara are not based on real people, the way j*hn smith and pocahontas were. there is no real history of war or colonialism between the people they were inspired by (the Chinese/Japanese and the Inuit respectively).
what is real is the terrible, horrific history of colonization. what is real was my people having their food stolen by the british & dying in the millions from famine. what is real was my home being conquered by the japanese because england colonized my country, forced it to depend almost entirely on them & then left it to suffer when they lost.
colonization is not a cute little buzzword you get to throw around to disparage any ship you don’t personally like. if you’re uncomfortable with zutara, that’s your prerogative, but for the love of god please open a fucking dictionary before you decide to (inaccurately) compare the brutal, bloody reality of one of the worst aspects of our history to the relationship between two fictional characters.

do you perhaps have any dogblr blog recs on like. Dog training?
I’m sorry, I don’t know many dogblrs or dog training blogs because I am afraid of dogs. I follow a couple for cute pet photos but I honestly have no idea about the quality of their posts training-wise since that’s so far from my own expertise. Maybe my followers in the petblr community can give you some suggestions?

My tragic cycle of fanfic reading hiatus has gone like
Bad day (one of my headache days): can’t look at anything except the back of my eyelids
Good days: I’m gonna read fic today! *proceeds to hesitate to do so because what if the prolonged screen time brings on another headache*
Ugh.

heyooo so i totally understand if anyone wants to unfollow, but i think i’m gonna go on a hiatus here on nancy until june 1st. i love nance, but the muse just ain’t there for the time being and i don’t wanna lurk on the dash and stress myself out over not having the will to write and then worrying that people will drop me for being inactive. SO— i’m just gonna bite the bullet and go on hiatus for a bit and then see about coming back. hate to leave y’all hanging like this, but i think i need a break from writing early 20s and teenage muses lol.
