#LIKE JUST.

[theghostofashton]

i keep wondering like. after the towers fell, what that must've been like for tk. to be so young and to have everything change in an instant. gwyn watching the news obsessively and diving for the phone every time it rang, hoping for something, anything from owen. seeing other first responders lose their lives and wondering if his dad was okay. what it must've been like to gain that fear of losing his dad at such a young age on such an extreme level, and how it continued to affect him as he grew up. just genuinely so much for a kid to deal with :(

#i finally rewatched 1x08 earlier and i'm still unwell about it apparently #like just. #thinking about him being a scared kid and the way he goes to talk to the kid that shot him in the next ep #how concerned he is with his trauma from it #i love tk so much literally cannot put it into words #his arc in s1 is so so good #911 lone star #tk strand #911 ls meta

I'm kind of over "confirmed in interviews" being seen as acceptable genuine representation. I'm sick of seeing my narratives contorted beyond recognition so that others can find me palatable. I'm sick of subtext, I'm sick of blending in. LOOK AT ME. I want to be fucking seen.

When can we have better? I'm so tired of making my own stories. I'm so lonely. The only time I'm seen is by looking in a mirror.

#this is about glass onion #I'm happy benoit blanc is gay #I'm happy he has a husband #but I'm so sad that I had to read into it. #I'm heartbroken that it's in interviews that people will miss #I'm sad that its not in the movie #he could be seen as a friend helping out a depressed friend #perhaps a hired chef or maid #basically. the gayness can be ignored #but it's also about more than that I'm just so over it #this was just a tipping point #like just. #actually put us in your fucking movies #I'm so tired #of being so hungry for representation #that these people get my money #I'm sick of them getting our praise for the bare minimum #for not even the bare minimum #I'm sick of them getting praise for daring to acknowledge we even exist #Well I want more than that!!! #we deserve more than that! we deserve better!!! #we deserve to be seen as fucking human. #I just feel small and I'm sick of feeling small. #dont even get me started on being fucking disabled and nonbinary like I'm begging for scraps to see a man call another man his husband #I'm asking for one line of dialogue #and thats still too much #text post #not art #complaint #vent

I also never stop thinking about one of the earlier Rose books where she sees herself in the mirror after church one Sunday, HATES what she sees and breaks down sobbing and then Laura comes in and asks her what’s wrong and she says something like “do you think I’m plain” and Laura kisses her forehead and says “you’re just young and changing fast. and you’re anything but plain now” and then later helps Rose buy a new outfit that makes her feel beautiful again

#there’s a part of my heart only for that scene #mother/daughter moments where the mom helps her daughter see her own beauty and carry the weight of all the crushing expectations #and desires tied up with beauty #everything to me #one time this past year my mom said ‘beauty is intrinsic to women. they’re all beautiful’ #and I was so struck by it and she said ‘YOU said that!’ and I was like ‘:0’ #anyway it’s !!!! it’s all a lot #also all the books about Laura’s ancestors and descendants might mean more to me than even the Laura books #like just. #so many girls so many kinds of girls all their stories #it’s my essence you know?

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

#like majority of the time kids are not just 'being naughty'. they have big feelings inside little bodies it's a lot #also like. #it should be illegal to dye your hair fun colours if you aren't prepared for kids in public to ask if youre related to a my little pony #EDIT: the notes on this post are an absolute cesspool. i don't care about your reasons for hating kids you sound like a disney villain

[necromimetics]

can’t stop thinking about my friend’s cishet partner who said last night that he doesn’t think anyone is the same gender. god-tier take.

#sky.txt #we were talking about how some people conceptualize nonbinary as like a 3rd gender #rather than a huge spectrum of experience #and he just hit us with that

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

#rambles #if you are a person who is into delicate skills #like lacemaking or printing or sewing #you will know fair well just how non expansive the knowledge online is in comparison to written guides from like the 50s #there was a time where at least one person in the household had to know a constructive skill #but in the modern day there is just less ans less demands for comprehensive guides #library propaganda #im stuck doing an essay rn but bc i have covid i cant go to the library and its totally fucked me #i want to source a lot of the stuff i read irl but i just cant go and get it and theres no online ver
