i have GOT to style my hair a different way its been like the same style for most of my life

#i'd love to dye it rainbow #maybe i could put it up but style it a certain way #i used to put it in a simple ponytail but all my curls end up becoming one megacurl and it looks weeeeird #i'd wear it short but my hair is a kind of way where if i cut it that it stops being curly it just goes flat until it grows out again #i WISH i could wear it short but curled. but it just goes flat and its not bad but i love my curls #hmmm.... #its the longest its been for probably my whole life (hard to grow out cause its curly so any growth just curls) #but i love it long. i just wish i had a different style for it

nah im not against it !!!! no worries :o)

#kinnings fine‼️ #not art #thankyou btw❤️ #randomly adding a couple tags 2 elabroate a mil years later but #basically its cuz i often project a lot of myself or my internal stuff onto drawings so #it makes me feel weeeeird #i have had people tag really strange things in relation to those tags so just 2 keep it safe #tbf i don't care as much anymore but it used to happen a lot a couple yrs ago and thats when it bothered me

was gonna make an in depth post about it and still might but gods i am so tired of my art posts absolutely floundering despite my efforts.

im tired of second guessing myself and feeling like im selfish, artists shouldnt be seen as selfish for wanting people to view their art.

agh. ive been posting art online for over 4 years and i just, dont know

final very superficial appraisal of the live action one piece show:

👍:

-the set design was wonderful and had a cool sense of unreality to it (as in, the environments feel like built sets and it’s part of the fun), it was colorful and theatrical and captured the manga’s blend of piratey genre aesthetics (wooden boards, sailing ships, rolled-up old maps) and “modern” elements like t-shirts and neon signs in a really pleasing way

-the show clicks to the top of the first rollercoaster hill at the end of episode 3 and then goes at the start of ep 4 and it’s just one breathless ride to the finish. I didn’t want the show to end. I do not care about one piece and started watching kind of for the bit but now I’ll actually be really upset if it doesn’t get a second season. That’s how good the second half of this show is.

-I love how all of the characters with colorful hair have clearly-dyed hair where their roots are showing (as opposed to wigs), and in flashbacks to a few of them as children the child actors have the exact same sort of imperfect dye job. It’s wonderful. It adds to the theatrical energy of everything, like “we know you know this is artificial, but we trust you to suspend your disbelief and enjoy this fiction with us”.

-with very few exceptions, all of the actors’ performances are great. They are all cool and fun to watch and there are lots of sweet and funny and emotional moments that work because the writing is sincere. Nobody rolls their eyes for the audience’s benefit at how weeeeird their world is— they live here! I love that.

-the trap beat they did for Arlong’s theme music rules

-this story with its global ocean and seafaring/island-based societies is kind of like “what if Waterworld was like a big colorful carnival” and I love that

-the Snail Phones 🐌

Things I liked less below the cut - 👎:

-Zoro’s backstory bff being depressed because “a girl can beat a boy, but no woman can beat a man [in a swordfight]” was a disappointing line to hear two characters just… play straight in a world that up to that point had seemed pretty non-sexist? But this girl sincerely believes that, and this boy doesn’t push back at all. In this world of self-dismembering clowns and people with axes for arms, you’re telling me that there are no champion swordswomen for little kids to admire? Not one?? From skimming the wiki, it seems like in the manga Kuina’s views are influenced by her sexiest dad, but the show doesn’t include that context.

-Kuina dying offscreen in “an accident” was the only tragic thing in the show that didn’t land for me. It’s just so blatant and funny. You’ve got to get rid of her so she can motivate Zoro, because she’s dead in the manga and that’s how you motivate male main characters, with dead women, but… how? Doesn’t matter! There’s been an accident. Typical backstory girl bff behavior. Call that Fridge To Terabithia.

-Iñaki’s energy as Luffy didn’t always work for me. Some character behavior works in manga and anime, but seems awkward and jarring in real life. It’s very difficult to pull off wild limb-flailing anime exuberance in live-action— live-action Cowboy Bebop’s glimpse of Ed comes to mind. But also, I never really liked Luffy in the parts of the manga I read, either, so maybe I’m just not the target audience for a Luffy in any medium. Iñaki seems like a friendly and chill dude and he certainly gave this role 100%— and also Oda himself loved him for the role, so that says a lot.

-the whole thing with Arlong and his Fishman crew where they’re part of an oppressed and formerly-enslaved minority, so of course they have beef with humans (“but slavery’s been abolished!” shouts a human character), but they’re taking things too far and not just fighting for equality, but domination, which includes extorting, killing, and enslaving humans, starting with this poor little girl here. And since this group are clearly evil and have these big evil plans, it’s cool and great actually for the heroes, who are all humans/members of the majority, to kick their asses and kill a bunch of them. Like… I get there’s a whole thing here with Arlong being twisted by hatred into the very thing he says hates, and maybe we’ll meet more Fishmen later in the story who are just people and not bloodthirsty evildoers, but it’s not a great fictional look?

It takes me back to hbomberguy’s critique of RWBY’s portrayal of the Faunus, and the problems with making your bad guys out of an oppressed ethnic group who, the story says, might have a point, if they went about things peacefully, but are just taking things too far with this domestic terrorism stuff. The Faunus and Arlong should really be writing to their congresspeople instead!

Scandal unravelling in Northern Ireland! HUGE impact coming to UK politics!

Ohhhhhh shit guys. Okay. There's a scandal brewing here. Northern Ireland might be about to erupt, and it's a long time coming.

SO.

SIR JEFFREY DONALDSON.

This guy is, to preface this, a cunt

He's the (until veeery recently) leader of the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland

The DUP are backwards dinosaurs with opinions like "Catholics should be second class citizens", "Northern Ireland isn't part of Ireland it's basically England and I'll kill you if you say otherwise", "The gays should be shot and killed" and "NATIONALISM IS THE BEST"

Pro-Brexit, Fascist, MASSIVE piece of shit party

And Donaldson himself is a prick. If you know your Northern Irish history (or if you've watched Derry Girls and remember the finale), this line on his wikipedia should explain it:

Donaldson is known for his opposition to UUP leader David Trimble's support of the Good Friday Agreement during the Northern Ireland peace process. Point is, this guy is 1) a huge face for unionism 2) a massive fucking cunt WELL. OVERNIGHT A FEW NIGHTS AGO, ALL HIS SOCIAL MEDIA VANISHES. Twitter. LinkedIn. Everything. Which is weeeeird on its own, right? But not alarming, just like, "where did Jeffer go?" AND THEN AN ARTICLE DROPS.

GUESS THE EXACT AGES OF DONALDSON AND HIS WIFE.

Also? OFFENCES PLURAL.

"Maybe it's a coincidence" TWEETED MERE HOURS AGO. BY ANOTHER MASSIVE DUP NAME.

OHHHHH SHIT.

To put this into context:

The DUP was the only way the Conservative Party stayed in power in the UK last election because the Tories formed a coalition with them

The DUP is THE biggest block towards a United Ireland

A pro-United Ireland party currently has the lead seat in parliment FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

The DUP's support has slowly been shrinking over the last decade

Their leader was just ousted as potentially being a fucking OFFENDER

HOLY SHIT. This is going to fucking EXPLODE!! Keep an eye on this!

[thatbitchsimone]

no you are right! this thing of "i'm just a 20 something year old teenage girl" is so weeeeird and it is full adult women using this to justify the most ridiculous and insecure things ever, and there is also a bunch of grown women using this to infiltrate teenage girls spaces and poison them with some awful ideas like leave teenage girls alone

i dont care if they wanna talk like that about themselves i just dont like it when they want to apply it to all women as if its some universal truth that all women are retarded babies who basically need a guardian and have the intellectual capacity of a 12 year old until they reach their early 30s

[ghoooooooooooooooost]

i only shared it w a friend before but can i tell you all my death mark 2 au/rewrite... here (spoilers obvi, also body horror + insects warning)

most things r the same except for the departed (and no naked girl cgs OFCOURSE)

making it so that the departed pretends to be daimon instead of the two high school girls

normal daimon is around but he’ll gradually get sick n every now n then something weeeeird happens (as in yashiki accidentally talks to fake daimon. also maybe you see the weird bug ghost that hovers above everyone near endgame with him first)

crowbar scene happens w fake daimon while real daimon is actually passed out somewhere. mashita comforts yashiki n then they both realize its a fake

(that's what these doodles were referencing)

my dearest friend chip suggested the departed could also be kanoe so n that would make sense n make him more present in the plot so byeah

we both agreed that they didn't push the bug + mold horror theme far enough so i tried my hand at it. mold can be really gross irl ewwww

my design for departed daimon is actually toned down from the og tho, just bc i thought the weird spider face was more goofy than scary. personally bugs are scary to me when they're crawling on you n burrowing into your skin n making holes n laying eggs in there - like the bees in death mark 1. there was some real-stories tv show abt that specific thing happening that aired when i was a kid n it freaked me out a lot

why was hime's mold just ourple swirls boooriiiiiiiiiiiing

#i should have a tag...? w/e i'll just tag it as dm2 au #dm2 au #text post #ok to rb if u want btw?

[nonbinarygamzee]

i feel a little guilty for this bc i do genuinely think one of the only appeals of "fandom" for me at least wrt homestuck is looking for projects where people are doing cool things, but i am sinply just not going to care about it if clown isnt involved. and im also very much going to notice if clown uninvolvement is rooted in vilifying them where you allow other "complex" characters to grow and learn. you dont have to like gamzee you dont have to focus on gamzee if you dont but like.... it is increasingly tiring to see the rest of the antagonistic(used so loosely here stay with me) trolls treated like complex characters while the one who is undeniably, deeply racist and ableist in their depiction/framing AND is the child who actively works for the child abuse demon is just thrown aside as unsalavagble evil not worth examination, usually with some half assed comment about being an abusive man.

like. i love vriska genuinely i do. but if we can blame all of gamzees intricate issues on the notion they are a capital m Man and somehow erase the fact this is also a child and a very bad-faith coded one at that, then why is is still so illegal to utter anything about vriska invoking a very very white woman centric abuse of power + refusal to engage her past when she changes...? like i dont get into my identity shit on here but i am a lesbian and i am a traumatized person who has crazied in ugly ways bc of my abuse, i understand as much as anyone else why vriska deserves to be looked at with complexity and sympathy and its undeniable a lot of what happened wrt fandom bullshit related to her was rooted in misogyny but my god am i sick of the refusal to engage with other forms of marginalization ESPECIALLY alongside the insinuation people were not horrifically harrassed for those reasons with gamzee or their attachment is inherently more vapid than others. theres thoughts i have wrt treating gamzee likers as stupid and incapable of analytical reading (and therefore less valuable to hear from regardless of other things that may tie them to this extremely loaded piece of media) which hits on weeeeird biases on its own but ok back to my hole.

#i do actually have things im sort of working on btw. to sootge my own needs. #but by working on i mean i found old project concepts and am rewriting them in my brain #until i have the energy to do it out of my brain #ok bye. heart #its clown town #meta #kind of. i need a fandom meta tag or smthn but thats where i put all my thought posts for now lol

Redoing the question "Eclipse, your brother seems stressed for some reason, you should help him relax" sent by @livingthewritelife-things bc I misread it AGH

"Hey Shadow...!" Eclipse sat beside his older brother. "Uh...SO! Some person said you were stressed out or whatever...crazy, right? You? Stressed? Couldn't be, amiright?"

Shadow simply looked up at him, then looked away again with a huff.

"Okay, not the best choice of words. Um...y'know, I'm not very good at this. I can talk, A LOT, but listening? No go. I'd LIKE to help you and all that, but I also don't know if I can do that? Just blows my mind in a weeeeird way."

"Yeah, I can see how you don't shut up. It would help if you left me alone."

"Maaaaaybe, but if something's up, shouldn't you...I dunno, talk about your feewings?"

"I won't be doing that, thank you."

"Well...can I at least help you chill out? I can do whatever, BESIDES leaving. Because I know you were going to say that. Not that one, big bro."

"Don't call me that."

"But that's what you aaaaaaaaaareeeeee!!"

Shadow sighed. "Look, you want me to relax? You want me to 'chill out?' Then how about this. You just sit here, in silence, and let me have my quiet time."

"Fine, I guess."

And so they sat for a little while, just staring out at what was outside the mouth of the cave. It didn't take long before Eclipse started getting antsy and impatient, though. He didn't like silence much.

"But what is it, really? What's the reason you need quiet time right now?"

Shadow glared.

"I promise I'll leave you alone after this! Just answer me this one thing?"

"...I suppose its just...everything, really. All that's been happening all at once. The whole situation with Doom, what happened with Starline, and the chip, and running into Rouge and Omega..."

"But all that stuff passed? What makes it still stressful?"

"I'm not really too sure...it just is. Maybe the best word to describe it all is overwhelming. I don't think you would understand."

"Hey, all that stuff affected me too! More than you, probably! But like I said before, we have each other, at least! Maaaaaaybe that'll make things a little easier than they would've been otherwise."

"If it had been otherwise, none of it would've happened, Eclipse."

"Yeah, but where's the fun in that? Boring."

Shadow really had to hold in the urge to smile a bit this time. It was getting harder all the time, and he hated it. But...having Eclipse to talk to about it did help, even if it was just a little. He huffed again instead. "Perhaps...did you just trick me into talking to you?"

"Twas my plan from the start, big bro." He stood and took a fancy bow, like he had just discovered or done something incredible. Though, helping Shadow feel less of his negative emotions, and far quicker than normal? This darkling was doing something to him...

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

I know its not a dinosaur, but do you happen to know anything neat about the titanoboa?

Aaaand do you have a favorite extinct bird or bird-like animal?

(Is it okay to send multiple questions in one ask? Or should i send seperate asks? Sorry if you'd prefer the latter, ill def work on that!)

Hahah feel free to send multiple questions, I just might take longer to ask

I did watch a Titanoboa documentary once, but I don't remember much from it? I just know that it wasn't the only large nonavian reptile from the Paleocene, South America was a weeeeird place with lots of weird reptiles at that time. Titanoboa was probably very similar to modern boas, because it is in the boa group had has similar physical features. It was just huge.

I have so many favorite extinct birds. It's honestly really difficult for me to pick. I really like Heracles though...

[dogtoling]

do you know how bigfin squid ink works + if they would even evolve like other squids would. if think they wouldn’t but i’ve been thinking about this for like the past few months

I feel like they wouldn't evolve to be inklings. Humans don't have that much information on bigfin squid, but they are weeeeird. I'm not sure they have an ink sac but if someone knows let me know? Just because something is a squid or octopus doesn't necessarily mean it will become an inkling as we see from flapjack octopuses, but on the other hand, we now have blue ringed octolings even though blue ringed octopuses barely have an ink sac and its basically obsolete to them. So idk. I think they would like weird slenderman cousins
