[a-story-teller]

Seriously one of the most confounding things in the world is pop-Christian moralizing.

"Is ASMR ok for Christians?? 🤨🤔😧" I'm not sure in what world it would be sinful to listen to soothing brushing, ocean sounds, and tapping, yet someone felt the need to ask the question, and someone else felt the need to make a YouTube video answering it. (I didn't watch it, so I don't know the verdict, but somehow you're trusting the verdict to a rando on YouTube and not Discernment from God?)

"Christian facials" because having a hot towel on your face and putting on serum is in any way aligned with a religion or lack thereof, and therefore needs to/even Can be made Christian?

"Christian-friendly sex positions" and the only difference is it's stick figures instead of realistic drawings, and instead of male/female or penetrator/receiver, it's husband/wife. Because you know those goofy health-book illustrations were distracting you from the righteous goal at hand: eating your girl out. But you can't call her your girl, you have to make it clear to everyone seeing you have sex (which... is just the 2 of you, right?) that you're having Good and Not Sinful sex, because you, a Husband, are Married to your Wife. Side note: the stick figures actively make it harder to figure out the intricacies of any of the positions and therefore are objectively shittier at doing what they're made to do.

Christian soap, christian mints, christian calendars, christian music, christian curtains, christian fiction, christian restaurants, christian news, christian shops. There are things in the world that are OK being secular. The fact that your soap does not have an icthus sign etched in that washes away in 3 days anyway does not make you a bad person, or even a bad christian. Your home does not need something Christian™️ in every room for people (or yourself!) not to forget you're christian... I assume?

The king who must say he is king, etcetera. This kind of mindset is so boggling to me, and reeks of nominative faith and deeeeep insecurity. Retail therapy but instead of buying temporary happiness you're buying temporary grace. Being so beholden to the dogma of organized religion that you go to any person feigning authority on the subject rather than using your own brain to make a decision. The idea that things can only be okay to interact with if they're explicitly christian, as though interacting with it as a christian doesn't inherently put it through a christian lens; as though you can only get things trickled down to you from church authority figures with robust enough constitutions to judge what's ok for you because you don't have the ability to think critically; as though you should stay away from what's "sinful" rather than, LIKE JESUS, be able to go into it and be a good example; as though instead of learning to be capable of handling it, you should be as weak to sin as possible; as though you have to go through the world with kid gloves because touching something dirty would soil your soul (which, of course this implies, is sparkling - impossible, arrogant, and kind of denying God, lol [actually, not lol, I'm expanding on that. Denying God by refusing to admit your own sin. Denying God by refusing his grace because you won't admit your own sin. Denying God by acting like his power couldn't absolve something as simple as being exposed to sin, let alone if you did end up making a miatake. Denying God by keeping yourself in Good Christian spaces and not being there for people who need outside help. There's more but I digress]).

Also, the childish áffect of refusing to say things as they are because that would be bad, but referring to it in euphamism is fine - or, transversely, that using colloquialisms is bad, but medical speak is fine, depending on what breed of crackpot christian you're dealing with. "Hanky-panky" just say sex. "Adult drinks" just say wine, beer, liquor. "Flower" for the love of all that is holy just say vulva/vagina/virginity. "Breasts" is fine to describe your chest but "boobs" is not. You can say "buttocks" but not "butt". Discussing bathroom activities is decisively not cool but if utterly necessary you must say "urine" and "feces" because pee and poop are too pedestrian.

Like, entire side tangent, but the weirdly widespread christian-ism of not discussing things frankly or discussing them super detachedly, but both preferring to never discuss them at all, regarding anything "potentially sinful" or "not spiritually uplifting" (usually boiling down to "anything physical") is so whack to me. Do not discuss your period, even in female spaces, because it's tmi. Don't talk about your health issues if they're not Clean enough subjects, even as something to pray about (like breast/prostate cancer, shitting diseases). Don't ever talk about your sex life except to wiggle your eyebrows at your kids when they're old enough. Don't hug your male friends, daughter. Don't play with your little cousins, son. Sex is so so bad but everything is about it, actually. Sex is so so great which is why you should feel guilty about ever wanting it. All nudity is sexual. Dress so they know you're a woman but also that you're a lady. Fart jokes are not allowed. You must remember that all men are looking at you with lust at all times but you can't hold that against them. All things that get you sweaty or muddy are bad. Hair on women is unnatural but just dandy for men, except we can't talk about pubic hair so you're just going to have to figure out on your own if it's less sinful to not think about your vag enough to do anything to it or to ensure you're free of all sinful hair. Here's how to do makeup in a god-honoring way, because you couldn't know on your own, and you must both jump through this hoop to be acceptable to your men but not have enough fun and personal expression with it for it to become anything other than a chore. It is wrong to kill, which is why we support the troops. We are supposed to help the poor, which is why I drive past the beggars that are dirty and ragged and smelly. We are supposed to celebrate God with our bodies, which is why my most spiritually moved state equates to slightly raising my arms.

I can't close this post without including my oft-quoted favorite example of this weird-ass pop-Christian phenomenon translating to real-life people in real-time thoughts: my mom saying she had to take into account "which ice cream flavor is most glorifying to God" at a froyo shop. Either it's raspberry, or she chose sin that day.

#to be SLIGHTLY fair to my mom she was trying to give an example of ''having God as priority 1 all the time'' to middle school me #Who thought (correctly) that there are plenty of things which God has no direction relation to or care towards #What color you wear or what sandwich you eat having no impact on your relationship to God #And mom tried to illustrate that it's about the intention to be mindful of God 24/7 by using the most batshit method available #thus cementing my point and giving me the best example of the effects of this thing to date #christianity #christian #theology #in which I read a book with a really problematic fanbase #religion #So much of ''christian'' culture is alien to me... so much of it I hate with a deep fervor... #I will raise my kids to be okay with the fact that they are physical beings with bodies #I will raise them to make their decisions themselves based on their own interpretations and direction #And I will raise them to know that the world will not sully them without their consent - that to be good does not mean to be free of sin - #and that they take from the world what they bring to it and can face ''bad'' things without turning to stone

What do you struggle with the most when it comes to making an OC?

(Mine is giving them a name. Like..... I would create a cool looking character with some personality but then, I don't know what to name them. I'm even struggling with that as we speak.)

design, absolutely design. a lot of the time i have a name / personality / role / backstory for them Before knowing what they look like. coming up with a physical look to go with the character is a bitch & a half lol

#name is tough tho! i feel your struggles! #if i may offer some advice - coming from someone who has crafted literally hundreds of brain guys #ask yourself what their vibe is #like... do you think their name is short? do they seem like someone with a long name? an abbreviated name like A.J? #maybe they look like someone whose name starts with 'h' #look up h names and go from there #or another method is a bit tougher but hey it kinda works #clear your mind and look at the character #the first name that pops into your head is often the best choice #or yk... just sit there thinkin about them! maybe they're like. idk a bird #bird > birdie > birdly > billie #billie the bird! #ALSO LOOK UP BABY NAMES #there are sooooo many lists #you can look up lists with specific amount of letters. starting with [insert letter of your choice]. names with nicknames. #male. female. unisex. myth-based. animal based. plant based. #THERE'S A LIST OF NAMES FOR EVERYTHING I PROMISE #rambles from the bog #for example w/ my puppet sundown summer #i chose her name bc her color palette reminds me of a sunset & she has western inspiration & she's from a kid's show #so her name would be alliterative & sound cowboy-ish. sundown is more western than sunset #and then throw on the summer for the alliteration & friendly feel - kids automatically have positive associations with summer #see what i mean? #or take my murder man Aces - he's named after the diamond patterns on his body #(i associate the word ace with the ace of diamonds playing card) #or uhhhh i have a talking cat character named bartholomew #named so because i think it would be funny for this little talking cat to have a long & 'haughty' name that's also a cat pun. 'mew' #see there's no one way to go about it!!! #there's lots of methods and none of them are wrong!! #good luck and have fun my guy!

Someone on Twitter said “Kirby fashion collab“ and you can’t honestly expect me to pass up on the opportunity

#kirby #星のカービィ #taranza #magolor #elfilin #art #fan art #digital art #i did not intend on the overall green-ish theme for the record #i just got the idea for a cape for taranza based on the dreamstalk's flowers #and magolor's outfit is based off a doodle from a couple of years ago #where he was wearing clothes based on one of my (non-kirby) ocs who he shares some similarities with #and her main color is green #and i just wanted to give elfilin a cute dress #and he's already turquoise which is close to green #kirby example

here's a neat vid, go watch it if you haven't yet

there's Some things that i don't completely agree with personally, like attributing the Third sin to Materialism rather than Connection (i'd argue that the Ancients had no big issue with being materialistic, considering their golden attires and such- and that going with Connection overall better addresses both the core of Materialism and relationships overall) and then attributing the word Dynasty specifically to asian cultures but that's more history/word definition beef more than anything djgklsjlcgjkd

oh how i'd love to have a debate with this guy about Ancients...

#spot says stuff #rw #history fact: a dynasty was present big time around the years 800-1000 (iirc) on a large territory in eu which included slovakia #at the core of it per its definition a dynasty is just ''the same family ruled over the lands throughout multiple generations'' tho so its- #-not special or anything. with that definition in mind you can see how dynasties were also european things with all the kings and stuff #its just more often used for asian countries cuz they held out longer with the family stuff probably. or all the damn royal family drama- #-that happened there........ my Gods i know only a few chinese stories but Shit man there was a lot djgklsjgld #i wonder if identifying family members in the Ancient society happened through colors... like Sparrows n her siblings are colored from- #-dark blue (Dad's og clrs before turning grey) to turquoise (Inkling) and through this color coordination are the dynasties named #that's some fun thoughts #this video is prompting some neat thoughts.. ego is the culmination of the sins in short is one of them for example #did this guy actually come into contact with shkika or smth. the 'civilization before the ones we recognize as ancients' stuff at the end- #-sounds very familiar. -makes it to the end- Ah. The RW Discord. i wonder where that thought originated n who parroted it from who #☝ personally making the conscious effort to not seep myself into the fandom Too much since i like thinking about this stuff so i dont want- #-any fan-based answers/speculations. just wanna vibe with it uninfluenced n see where that takes me. also the rw discord feels dangerous

I think dick grayson as a character really pulls apart the whole "written by a woman = good" concept at the seams, specifically because people love to talk about his people pleaser personality (as of recent comics) and especially SA experiences as indicators of a well meaning Womanly Perspective writing him when in actuality the destruction of his personality and mentioned SA were orchestrated by a self identified "well meaning" woman who, you know, had fantasies of raping him. White feminism and the normalization of sexualizing brown and black men have done a number on a lot of you guys's critical thinking

#because why else would you have an admitted self insert female (of color btw which makes it so much worse) character assault him unprompted #it really is just white feminism #no other genre of feminism so aggressively enforces the divide between women and men as based on suffering #like is it truly progressive to absolutely maul a character's personality to mold it to your tastes then #export your suffering onto them #it just highlights the fact that white feminism and it's ideas has always depended on the subsequent demonization/opression/sexualization #of men of color #ie lynching #and just people of color in general #for example I'm sure having a latina woman rape dick grayson has done wonderful things for the hypersexualization of latina women #and the stereotype that they are forceful and demanding and promiscuous #I'm rambling but you get the point #txt #dc comics #dick grayson #racism #tw assault mention

ive seen some people say that movie shadow isnt gonna have any red stripes on his arms and legs because he didnt in that picture that was going around but like im pretty sure thats his stand in prop not an actual finished picture of how hes gonna look in the movie. and the stand in props usually look a little bit off from their final appearance anyway like theyre missing a couple details or something is the wrong color. i mean i guess its possible he wont have all his usual markings but my point is i dont think that picture is an exact representation of what hes gonna look like so im not making any assumptions

#for example i remember there were some pictures from sonic 2's set going around that had the stand ins for all the animated characters #tails was missing his tails and the hair tuft things on his head whatever theyre called #the circle on sonic's chest was the wrong color the coloring of knuckles' shoes was off too #and i think knuckles was either completely missing the crescent mark on his chest or it was just really blurry and hard to see #cant remember which #and also the stand in prop for sonic for the first movie was based on the old design so the final animation looked super different #so . no i dont think that picture of shadow is exactly how hes going to look in the movie

I think it turned out nice :)

Now just have to print another copy of the lines with labels for my mom on the watercolor paper, and figure out how to portion out the paints.....

(the beach umbrella's planted location is uphill btw. even if you're not supposed to sit on the dunes. Otherwise the umbrella's presence in the art makes no sense)

#dksartz #original painting #wip #making a paint by number for my mom #based on an older painting of mine #it took a million tracings and sketches to simplify it and i still changed some things while doing the colors on this test/example piece

[k1rishiki]

one thing i'm trying to keep in mind while designing the cast of the resurrectionists is that they're all constantly changing clothes + ideally there will be ppl cosplaying these characters someday and i'd much rather see morana cosplays done in old btssb pieces that technically aren't things she wears than morana cosplays in cheap mass-produced versions of her canon outfits from aliexpress so i'm trying to make them all recognizable by a defining feature or two + fashion (sub)style alone

#like morana wears old school egl. tends towards skirts that hit her mid calf. prefers ruffles over lace. always has on rocking horse shoes. #usually is in some sort of deep red. wears a lot of vivienne westwood pieces. wears a lot of bows. and has a very specific shade of pink #hair w hime-esque bangs and braided twintails. so like. if youve got the hair and 1-2 of those things you're all set for your morana cospla #(also rectangular headdresses. she loves rectangular headdresses) #shi is also one of the good examples. shironuri w bright red lipstick and LONG false eyelashes for makeup. long red and black hair in a #high sidepony (which is at least partially crimped). she wears angura kei w a tendency towards basing her fits around kimono and not school #uniforms (bc she is. a grown ass adult. from the 1600s). she always has something on her head near the base of that ponytail. #her outfits often incorporate flowers or butterflies. she usually has some sort of timepiece on her. she likes printed socks/tights. her #shoes always have some sort of platform. and her main colors are red white and black. #dysmas doesn't wear any color save for white and black. any metal on them is silver. their hair is black and textured and covers one eye. #they always have a crucifix displayed on them prominently somewhere. they wear shironuri w dark makeup around their eyes and st peter's #cross drawn under their visible eye + black lipstick. their outfits are mainly black w white collars. they like moi meme moitie pieces. #they almost always have a crucifix at their hip. for shoes they tend towards a heeled boot. they almost always have on some sort of veil fo #headwear. think of them like a raspberry mazohyst choker come to life. #mara's going to be my last example bc i need to make the rest of them stronger. black twintails w bangs parted in the middle and pink #highlights. either guro lolita or menhera depending on which version of her you're looking at but we're going to focus on regular mara not #distant-future-amnesiac-reaper-mara . so guro lolita. she always has an eyepatch. she has long legs so she uses that age old talllita trick #of letting one's bloomers peak out to cover more leg. she tends towards blouse+skirt+apron coords instead of wearing a jsk or op. #white bright red and bright pink are her colors. usually wears gloves or wrist cuffs. likes printed tights/socks. likes border prints. #romeo.txt

thoughts on the great gatsby musical (the one going to broadway next month) ?

-🎵

Words. Cannot express. My disdain. My disappointment. My general frustration with that production. I have the jeremy jordan tag blocked on tumblr now. Praying to god Miss Florence Welch pulls through with her musical. I bet SHE read the book.

#the great gatsby #jay gatsby #nick carraway #no but seriously the characterizations are horrible #putting a woman of color into a role defined by her white rich privilege is another can of worms #the songs are so mid I almost wish they were bad at least then I might listen to them as a form of self harm #and starting off with a fucking covid joke??? #are you kidding me?? #making nick this wide eyed I Wanna Be Rich Too :3c ass bitch??? #i swear to god #if I have to see that smarmy smirking bastard ass jay gatsby impostor ever again #it will be too soon #like I already have very very high standards for adaptations of anything #in this climate where people are just reusing everything remaking everything adapting everything #like mean girls the musical the movie for example. it’s a movie based off a musical based off a movie based off a book. #how many degrees of separation until we start bringing something new to the table? #I pray to god florence has an understanding of the characters and the themes and such of the novel that goes deeper than watching the #trailer for the 2000 Gatsby adaptation staring paul rudd. #now I will say a positive to be nice: pretty Nick.

if i show up like “hey ya’ll i got married over the weekend 🥰” don’t be surprised lol

#just saying this is a very real possibility before the end of the year #this isn’t as impulsive as it sounds we’ve been together almost 10 years and don’t want a big wedding #I also don’t want my family up in my business on my wedding day because i know they’re gonna be stressing me out + making it about them lol #my bf was like ‘i wanna get you this purple iPad so you can get the new Procreate! you can engrave it so for example i wrote (my Ao3 name)’ #I havent recovered from just how sweet and thoughtful that is like all my interests.. the blind belief that i can teach myself animation.. #chose a device in my favorite color and an engraving based on a rehabilitation project that’s helped me reclaim my confidence in my work #like oh my GOD i love him i love him i love him

there's a fine line between 'this is a fetish' and 'this is just trying to appeal to young children'

#those dress up ads are a really good example of this. theyre tailor made for a sub 10yo audience #stinky feet= the grossest thing imaginable and the worst insult ever to a kidlet #the pregnancy and baby stuff=dress up games are targeted at young girls and many girls are genuinely obsesed with the concept of motherhood #it just fascinates them because They have a mommy and they are the baby but what if They were the mommy? #the romance and cheating stuff= romance and relationship troubles are what Adult media is about. and caring about it makes them #feel more mature. while also letting them imitate the adults in their lives by caring about it and pursuing media that focuses on it #the bright colors. simple designs and emphasis on what a little kid whos entire aesthetic identity is based on the women in #mommies magazines is also a big tip off those ads are for kids #why are they on this app? ad companies use tumblr to test out ads before serving them to other platforms. #multiple staff members and employees of some ad companion have confirmed this #but yeah i promise you you all can stop making the same 'is this a fetish'? post about an ad targeted at little babies who are old enough #to steal mommies credit card
