#WHAT DOES HAVING WHITE HAIR DO

[monards]

universal law; white haired women can’t be happy with their girlfriends or else they break karmic destiny. Resulting in the collapse of the entire universe as we know it

At this point, gender nonconformity is about what the person says their experience is.

If a woman with a beard or a man with lipstick and a mustache says they're gender nonconforming, then they are! If a woman with short hair or a man with long hair says they aren't, they aren't! And that's not even getting into the awesome nonbinary, abinary, genderqueer, intersex, and general genderfuckery that may both be and not be conforming.

So much of what is even considered gender conforming or gender nonconforming is based on a world of exclusion. When we start defining one's conformity with whether they fit into white cishetero perisex standards or not, we play into the idea that there's only a very narrow window of what is considered worthy of time and thought.

#gender nonconformity #gnc #queer #like. for instance a native man who keeps long hair might be considered GNC by white standards but for him it's absolutely not nonconformit #there's an aspect of white supremacy that silences everything else while saying that other culture's silence is indicative of whiteness... #...being 'correct' or 'moral' or 'neutral' #and as somebody who's trans and last i checked white i have my own thoughts from my own experiences #like how i don't consider myself to really be a GNC man. i'm just. man+ #i'm a weird concoction of weird soup that tastes like a man but if it were Wrong #and i just don't see that as not conforming to manhood like it is seperate. i see it as irrevocably linked TO manhood #it is others who have excluded and exiled me from manhood because of *their* understanding of me and how i 'fit in' in cissexism #while i will never ever say i know what it's like to not be white i will say these conversations that PoC have started have been INVALUABLE #i am forever grateful to have been extended the patience and faith to listen in on the experiences of people... #...who are racialized in terms of gender and how they do/don't 'fit in' with often white supremacist views on gender/dynamics #may have made a post like this years back but. eh. arrest me officer i will not back down #i've been more and more 'gnc' as i go into my transition and i don't see it as nonconformity but as an outlet for my masculinity #which is why i'm not insecure about my crafts and creations. because it is coming from a male whether or not it's considered 'manly' #i have little to *no place* in cissexist society so why should i put any stakes into if they ~accept~ me #made this post while jamming out to skyrim's tavern OST (paused my game to write this) #why the HELL does the skyrim tavern music have to go SO HARD. i NEED to slam down BARRELS of mead while listening to this istg #i don't even LIKE honey so i haven't tried mead but. for skyrim i would.

Me watching the LGBT community who almost never rarely gives black women and girls, asexuals, or aromantics genuine respect, pretend we’re all friends and have always treated us right the minute it’s June 1st and want to use black women(mainly darkskinned) and girls as their little poster girl:

#asexual #aromantic #It’s always coming from the non black people(including other racial minorities) too #and the stuff coming out of the lgbt community towards black women and girls has gotten real nasty #i have seen numerous people(although they’re mainly black) say that black people are inherently queer because we’re unnatural and strange #in the eyes of white supremacy and white people #like are you ok in the head??? why do you want to say that black people are inherently strange and we defy every social standard #as of our existence is a social statement #I personally think the worst thing I’ve personally heard(from yet another black person) #was that black women and girls would get seen as men or trans women because our hair is nappy #what does our natural hair have to do with getting seen as men or trans women?? #and the white lgbt people just applauded them and hearted their tweet #it annoys me how for some weird reason political and social movements will mainly use black women especially darker black women as rep #and It’s almost always by a non black person #like why don’t you use a girl or woman from your own race in your political and social justice artwork #oh wait that’s right #because in general the lgbt community views black women and girls as magical negras who will be their ride or die sista soulja #who will mule and fight for them no matter how badly they outright insult us or sneakily talk badly about us #pride month is basically another black history month when it comes to how everyone reacts to it #every reaction to it is superficial and they’re only celebrating us because they feel like they had to or wanted social points #had it been any other month they would’ve been focusing on the group that they belong to

#Doodles #To The Moon #Neil Watts #Eva Rosaline #They ✨ #I ended up making the To The Moon series of games my over-breakfast show for a while haha #I got through them all surprisingly fast! It's amazing what a bit of breakfast does for the focus haha #I had ideas for them but then I got distracted! Damn! Another time #Still gonna talk about 'em tho lol <3 #Mostly Neil-related honestly haha - a big long silly joke that takes so much context pfft #So that one trope of self-aware anime protagonists - either the type to try to hide the specific thing that makes them The Chosen One #Or changing themselves into The Chosen One by adopting a feature that points to it - think dying hair #Born with weird hair? Protagonist - cover that up and become a normie; and it's inverse! #And then y'know the trope of the white-haired anime boy? The Redshirt of anime? Lol #I just love the idea of Neil being ''born with white hair'' and dying it his normal brown and confessing to Eva #And her countering back with ''Thank goodness you don't have white hair I never would've accepted your confession if The Tragedy'' #While Neil is just Sweating lol #It's funnier in images gah I'll get to it someday! #For now I'm just happy to have added them to my list <3 I do love them hehe #I enjoyed Imposter Factory so much! The montage at the end had such beautiful pixel animation #And even seeing a simulacrum of them happy makes me happy <3 Bittersweet like the rest of the series :) #Good lads <3

pastel goth bat (he/it) and morten (they/he) because why the hell not

it's fun to dress up our ocs like dolls sometimes

#low stakes 🦇 #my art #context is that i typed in bat's name into one of those shindan maker generators and one of the lines gave me fashion: pastel goth #and this was kinda in a discord server #and we were all talking about how bad/well the randomly generated fashion styles suited our ocs #and i wanted to try drawing some of the ones i got #starting with pastel goth bat because honestly what would that even look like. so i tried that #then morten just kinda happened to tag along! as one does! mostly because i rly wanted to draw them like this too #for a while actually #also yes. morten Will mess with their hair more as they settle into their vampirism a bit. it'll be fine #their default will always be that blue tomboyish sidetails cut so it will always return to that #much like how einarr always returns to long white blond no matter what he does #vampire hair is just like that. permanent. unchanging. #bat didn't wanna do anything to his hair for this drawing lol he has boundaries #there is an alt version in my files where he does have white hair tho #i mean. it could still be a wig #but w/e #u can ask if you really want to see it

Right in time for bad weather to roll in!

There's a game on the Vita that I adored because you created both your character and also a second character that followed you around. (in that game, you're a little fella and your secondary is basically your babysitter who can't feel emotions and is programmed to be not be fond of you)

On many consoles, there's another game where you create your character and also create a secondary and it's very much your first in authority. (Arisen and Pawns? Multiple people knew of the game when I posted fanart of my silly duo so.)

However, there's tragically a third game I found in which you also have two characters and the first one is a fella, a hooman... and the second is AI. And absolutely adores you. Buuuut I made my primary a kind of indifferent fella named Adam and then in honors of the first one I mentioned, I named my secondary 'sqlmn' which is basically pronounced 'salmon'. Which is what my angy babysitter was named, Salmon.

Anyway I'm too embarrassed to admit which game I'm playing so have fun guessing!

#adam and sqlmn #thats gonna be their tag cause i do not want to admit what game it is #but also since they are both made in character creator its not actually characters anyone would recognize #in the vita game i mentioned though i also had a little girl as my primary (as in short girl not age) #and she had what i described as burnt marshmallow hair #which is what i attempted with adam here but the colors arent us popping as the other game so it looks more silvery blue than white #and then the burnt parts are either obnoxious orange or very mild #and i opted for the mild #anyway i like giving my ai bot who adores me a suit cause hes taller than adam #and i just thought it was funny to have him look like he should be in charge #because his dialogue is just him calling you Master #which im like does he know i would kill for him cause i would i love this weird tall freak who loves me unconditionally #and tbh i wanna grab them and use them for my own purposes and not have them attached to the game i created em in

[blujayonthewing]

the main problem I've had with trying to do 'your PC as other races' art is that when other people have done it, including ryoko kui's changeling comparisons, they always keep the character's original palette-- and that ends up being an immediate stumbling block for me when the first place I'd be inclined to start is with Elyss, whose main point of difference from an ordinary human is that she is green

#and with elyss like-- okay being an ordinary human would affect not only her bone structure and skin but even her eye color #because it's a pretty-close-to-natural sort of lavender grey BUT I already know human!elyss would have brown eyes #so does 'racebend your blorbo' human!elyss also look like theoretically canon human!elyss who looks like her mom? #in that case what about halfelf or gnome elyss-- am I basing those on human elyss or on canon elyss? #because elyss' light eyes are specifically part of her Water Themed Palette-- #-- but light eyes with dark skin and hair are really common naturally for gnomes and elves where they're more rare in humans #AND you start to run into the problem of 'here's a gnome with gnomish features and also a different palette' does it even look like her?? #and if I have to take 'what would be normal for this humanoid' into account for elyss whose race is such an unusual case-- #-- it gets me into the weeds with like... well specifically melliwyk who has dark skin white hair and bright turquoise eyes #that's not going to occur naturally in ANY other race except MAYBE a very unusual elf but like... #okay so do I just keep her palette anyway? but that feels kind of weird compared to how I have to handle elyss?? #ALSO I honestly feel like 'how does the hair color and texture translate' is just as valid as ear shape and bone structure for exploring-- #-- the different morphologies of dnd races- and just as interesting to me- but you run into the 'are they still recognizable' issue again #TL;DR MY BIG PROBLEM IS OVERTHINKING IT AS ALWAYS #about me #my OCs #elyss #melliwyk

Since last year, I’ve had an idea for a Harry Potter fic rattling around in my head prompted by the realization that Lily’s death is necessary for the love-magic-protection that enables Harry to survive both killing curses, but James’s isn’t—what does the world look like if James Potter somehow survives? I came to the conclusion that because the protection spell that Dumbledore originally uses to protect Harry until he comes of age applies to those of Lily’s blood, he would still want him to live with the Dursley’s, and thus Dumbledore decides that the best course of action is for 21 year old, traumatized, newly-widowed James to fake his death. It’s safest for Harry, the Death Eaters already think he’s dead, and it’s really useful for Dumbledore to have a piece on the chessboard that both the Death Eaters and the Ministry don’t know about. James isn’t thrilled about this, but he’s too distraught (and too used to Dumbledore being right about everything) to argue. He’s really only a few years out of school, after all.

I know I had worked out all the logical kinks on this one at some point but I don’t really remember now—but the fic would involve James working as a sort of secret agent for Dumbledore, a wild card, if you will, while keeping an eye on Harry from afar. This James would be a little different than the one we’re familiar with—a bit more mature and serious, and of course absolutely wracked with guilt. He hardly resembles who he used to be after losing Lily, and he’s pretty dang desperate not to make any more mistakes, lose anyone else.

Snape of course is one of the only other people who would know James was alive, and the bad blood between them is as terrible as ever, as Snape would blame him for “letting” Lily get killed. (As if James doesn’t blame himself enough.)

Sirius would also know, as he was the first one to Godric’s Hollow after the attack and would have found James, but that doesn’t do much good after he’s arrested. The only way I can think to workaround the fact that Dumbledore would know Sirius was innocent if he had talked to James is if James was so seriously incapacitated after the attack on Godric’s Hollow (don’t ask how I don’t know. WAIT MAYBE IN THIS VERSION VOLDEMORT ENCOUNTERS LILY FIRST AND HER LOVE MAGIC EXTENDS TO BOTH HARRY AND JAMES??? OH MY GOSH???) that the “trial” occurs before James is lucid enough to talk and Dumbledore gives evidence against Sirius because he assumes he’s the Secret Keeper.

Other than fulfilling Dumbledore’s wishes and keeping an eye on Harry, James spends a lot of his time trying to figure out how to break Sirius out of Azkaban. Maybe he succeeds earlier than in the original series? He also is trying to hunt down Peter, of course—probably spots him in the newspaper like Sirius does. Or maybe he sees him with Ron while watching Harry?

Does Remus know that James is alive? I’m gonna say yes, but Dumbledore doesn’t know that. It makes no sense for him not to, he’s the only friend he has left.

I figure by Prisoner of Azkaban, James has had enough of Dumbledore’s nonsense and reveals himself to Harry—it would be pretty dang poetic if it’s during the first patronus scene, and it IS actually him casting it from across the lake. How would Harry react to finding out he’s been alive this whole time? Idk, it would be complicated, but man I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.

Also, while it does make sense that Dumbledore wouldn’t want James to use his original wand, I know it makes the most sense for James to have acquired a spare one somewhere—but the concept of James Potter with a Glock hit me over the head with a broom, and I’d love to somehow finagle it into making sense because can you imagine? Someone in the HP universe with a gun?? The comedic potential???

A dementor: *appears*

Harry and Sirius: “EXPECTO—“

James: *shoots it in the face*

#james: *shoots dementor in the face* ‘AVADA KADAVRA’ #I’m a little obsessed with this James being kind of terrifying. not in a ‘cold calculating danger’ sort of way but a ‘white-hot #unpredictable burn-you-if-you-get-too-close’ sort of way. who knows what he’ll do. like you see Harry and he’s got a bit of an edge but #then you meet his dad and you’re like ‘oh THAT’S where it’s from.’ (ik people love the parallels between Harry and Lily but we are missing #out on the Harry and James ones). kind of obsessed with the idea of James being one of the only people Dumbledore was ever scared of #(especially if he ever found out about his REAL plans for Harry…) #also I keep thinking about one of the strange things to happen during Harry’s childhood (like the blue hair and him teleporting to the roof #of the school) is him being watched as a six year old by a stag on the playground. this happens multiple times #james potter #anyway does this make sense? it’s 3 am and I don’t know #also this James would 100% have a Moment about the resurrection stone

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

Anytime there’s a black person in a apocalypse they always have fresh braids or a clean fade. How in the fuck do you have a barber?

Because no who’s doing your hair when there’s monsters outside?

White characters hair looks like who did it and why

#it’s fucking hilarious #imagine your friends uses half the electricity to do each others hair #cause no where are you getting this stuff from first thing you do is raid a hair salon #and the white mfs be looking raggedy as hell #how do you keep your hair low when there’s no one to cut it? #also what does wash day look like? you have no water #black hairstyles #black history #black hair #black is beautiful #black tumblr #black culture #blackexcellence #black twitter

[asinglesock]

unfortunately I think I might have gotten through my rebellious phase without a haircut and now it might never happen

#a sock speaks #local construction #after gauging how hard my dad might take it and knowing his health issues I don't want to risk it #also part of me does want to be elderly and wizened with long wiry white hair. my mom has long white hair and I love how it looks. #obviously it might get a lot thinner but I do kinda want to see just how long I can keep it #for a while I was angsty that I'd probably never see/feel what it's like to have short hair as a young person #but if I cut my hair I'd also never know what it would be like to have very long hair at [x] age #choosing not to chose is a choice and all that. horrible! but life goes on. #but I'm feeling better about it I think? #(stay tuned for me to say something completely different in a few months)

someone made a viral tiktok with my pre-vampire astarion post saying everyone who says his hair wasn’t white before is wrong… why am i in it like??? 😭

#literally don’t care about their reasoning bc i know i’m right #‘other vampires have different colored hair!!’ okay what does that have to do with me? #stress can turn hair white and saying he’s been stressed for the past like 200 years is an understatement 😭 #obsessed with how my post must’ve been the straw that broke the camel’s back #.txt

This is the first Corpse Party OC I'd like to show off, here's Riko Saruwatori! She's for Dead Patient, so if you haven't played it there will be *slight* spoilers.

How she was drawn on paper (needed to separate the possible expressions and body+face because I end up screwing up the face when I draw on top of it... I'll need to practice getting over that)

Here's her body and face when digitally drawn, I'm not gonna claim it's the best, but it could be worse. It's good for someone that hasn't touched digital drawing in around 2 years, lol

Took me forever to find the English layout of the card layout.

Anyway, about Riko:

Design:

Riko is a 5'7 young girl below average weight with light blonde hair, resembling the jasmine she's named after (Riko meaning jasmine-child with certain kanji). Her hair is short, so that it won't get yanked on by her little brother, Kentaro, when she gives him piggyback rides. She also has deep emerald eyes that resemble her father's.

Personality

Riko loves to explore and find out new things and new places, adoring the quiet (or not-so-quiet, depending on if she brought her little brother) forest walks next to her home.

However, ever since her parents divorced (after an unfortunate accident involving her falling from a tree) her mother moved closer to the city, causing her to enjoy walks like that less than ever before. She has also recently become more timid and unsure of herself. Being less-social and overall making little contributions to group activities, becoming more indecisive by the day, and letting others take the lead.

Something that hasn't seemed to change, however, is her protectiveness towards her 11 year old brother. In fact, after the separation, it seemed to have strengthened considerably.

Story Integration

You'd find her in Dead Patient, in the 1st Chapter, in the normal ending. After Ayame encounters her nametag in the Locked Puzzle Room (via Ritsuko giving it to her), and after Ayame encounters Tomohisa freaking out.

Riko is running away from a walking corpse, screaming, "THEY CAN REVIVE THEMSELVES!?" Ayame, being too lawful-good for her own self-preservation, helps Riko. Riko gives Ayame a brief thank-you before telling her and Ritsuko to look away for a moment. They do so as the screen fades to black, while the graphic sounds of cutting and ripping something apart can be heard.

The screen goes back to normal as Ayame sees that Riko tore apart the zombie's head from its shoulders with a scalpel she apparently "found" in one of the rooms earlier. Riko tells the two that it's to try to ensure the zombies don't come back to life.

Ayame tells Riko about the check-in card that seemed to belong to her. Riko seems to panic for a moment before asking for it back, Ayame obliges and gives it to Riko. Riko thanks her and joins the party.

Once the group gets to the door Tomohisa was seemingly running away from, Riko decides to stick outside, while Ayame and Ritsuko go in.

Once the door shuts and the two on the other side are locked in, Riko tries her best to get the door to budge, along with Ritsuko on the other side, but there's no progress until Ayame defeats the hulking zombie inside.

After Ayame and Ritsuko finally get out, with two new members added to the party, Riko introduces herself to them, and follows along, trying to find and get through the exit.

#for a certain friend: Sachiko We Beg Of You #i spent way too long on this #mostly the digital drawing was a pain in the butt #so much i need to improve on #I'm gonna have most of the tags be stuff i need to work on to remind me what to improve on when bored #drawing eyes and hair on face #it's fine if the hair covers the eye you don't need to move the bang-tufts when they look so good! #making shoulders less stiff #Riko has stiff shoulders on purpose bc she feels awkward #but apart from that i just have so much shoulder and arm-bending trouble #does anyone else struggle with shoulders and sharp elbows?
