College!Sukuna headcanons/drabbles

♡˗He's definitely says it's an emergency when he just wants to ride around the city with you, he makes it seem like you have something urgent you need to attend but tricks you into taking a long ride on his motorcycle, he refuses to take you back home till he's done.

☆He definitely does graffiti, he loves doing it since there's no limitations to it, Sukuna always somehow dedicates his work to you, may it be your name or your favourite colour being used there.

☆Whenever he gets arrested, your always the first person he asks to bail him out, mainly because he knows you have the money to and he'll always pay you back in the end.

☆He works part-time in a coffee shop, but only to see you, the second you don't come in for a week he's quitting, he hates the uniform and everything about the place. If he had to choose a job he'd probably be a mechanic.

☆Once brought you a giant bouquet of roses and tulips for your birthday, it was probably one of the only things he put thought into. He loved to brush it off like it was nothing when he saw how happy you were.

☆He's a pro at baseball, I don't know why, he just is.

☆He has a pet cat in his apartment, he didn't even mean to adopt it, it just kept coming to his door in the morning and he let it in. Now it was his.

☆He owns a bunch of sunglasses, wearing them whenever he feels the slightest ounce of sunlight. He sometimes let you borrow them, promising that you'd bring them back as they actually were expensive.

How far will you take it?

Lia Wälti x fem!reader part 1

Do you love me or do you love that you have a gf. That you aren't single. That you don't have to spend nights alone. Someone in your arms or someone to hold you. Would you love me if i wasn’t ur gf or just when I am. Maybe you just love the idea of love but don't actually love me. Or maybe you only “love” me because you are bored and have nobody else. I'm just here and showed you affection, so you took it. Took it, to be in a relationship, to get as close as possible to actual love. In reality it isn't though. It's just a fantasy you create. But what about me?

You love being in relationships. Exes of you have warned me, multiple, so so many. I ignore your red flags. As if I had a red and green colour deficiency. I give and I give, do I receive anything in return? No. Because you need, want the affection. But when I need it, you are nowhere to be seen. When I'm clingy or want some attention. You take your sweet time responding. Time away from me.The cold shoulder, silent treatment, no response after I shoot a text. Even Duolingo messages me more than you and that's sad to admit.

I'm wondering if you leave me on-read on purpose too. I know you do sometimes on insta. Why's that? Did I offend you? Lia, you leave me with crumbs. Crumbs of your existence. Which I absorb like a greedy vacuum. This isn't healthy. It makes my mind spiral every night. Wondering if you love me. Wondering if you are cheating. Wondering if you have found the one but stay with me out of convenience. No-one in a relationship should have to wonder if their partner loves them, yet here I am. You give me almost nothing. Stop messing with my feelings, don't drag me around if you don't feel the same. Let me find someone who does in fact love me if you don't. I want a relationship where both sides give 100 percent. A balance. Yet still all my words fall to dull ears, Words spoken to someone who doesn't want to change or listen. Someone who wants to live their life to the fullest, but why drag me into this chaos of a life. 

So either you get a grip of yourself or I'm done. I'll not only leave you but Arsenal as well. I wouldn't be able to look you in the eyes. So I'm giving you an ultimatum. Yes, like one in the show but without a ring, I want to sense your commitment. Because those restless nights are plaguing my brain. I want to become a mother eventually and for that I need a partner. If it's you or not, I can't foresee. If you can't imagine a future with me, then don't. I'll go. I'll be gone. Just say the words. I’ll be out of your hair once and for all.

- Your dear friend/gf

This is the letter Lia found on the counter top after returning from a cruel training session. Lia sat down on the sofa, still in her gym clothes. She initially assumed it was some sort of grocery list, she wanted to ignore it. But something in her mind nagged her to take a better look. She was shocked and ashamed of herself. She had really broken you. This wasn't in her plans, to destroy your whole being. She simply wanted to have some fun, have you as her girl. Yet there wasn't a trace of you. Not in this apartment, albeit your belongings were still at their places, nor in training today. Now she knew the reason why you were out of sight this evening. You are gone for now. Somewhere you felt loved and cherished. She had led you to exile with one foot in the door. The question is will Lia convince you to stay or will she set you free to be at peace? Which path will she choose?...

QUESTION

whats everyone’s comfort style? like after an argument or maybe R has conflict with a class— how’re they soothing their partner?

oooooooooh my gosh this makes me wanna cryyyyy

I think I'm gonna do this if it was an argument???

James:

I think he'd be just as close to tears as his partner

anxious and fidgety as he tries to figure out how to approach this now that tempers have settled

I think a mixture of cuddling and encouragements

tries to get you excited about something else [bribery? but in the good way lol "we'll have fun at Hogsmeade next weekend, yeah? we'll get Butterbeer - you like butterbeer"]

I think he'd be good at communicating and very emotionally intelligent (that's what having healthy and loving parents does to a person - can't relate)

Remus:

broody at first - I think he'd have a tendency to shut down after a fight because he'd feel like an arse for upsetting you

I feel like he might try to back track? like he'd start thinking "was what I was so worked up about really worth upsetting them like this?"

pet names, cuddles, asks if you wanna just go to bed early with him and stay in each others arms the rest of the night - he'd need physical contact with you

lots of apologies - feels like a monster for upsetting you, maybe worried you'll leave :(

Sirius:

I feel like he'd panic at first when he realizes he's upset you - like face drops and all the colour leaves his face as he sees your eyes well with tears

I think this would put him into a momentary state of fight or flight - negative emotions were dangerous growing up

cautious - gentleness, complete 180 from how heated the conversation had been because he's worried; he knows he can go too far and that his words cut deep...he is a Black after all

cuddles, kisses, tries to crack some jokes as he holds you

and then apologies

Regulus:

panics at first just like Sirius above

momentary state of fight or flight like Sirius above & for the same reasons

think he'd start feeling like a failure, like he can't get any aspect of his life right

caution - I think he'd be afraid how you'd react when upset (again, negative emotions = danger to Black's)

lots of eye contact, hand holding, praise, bribery (I'll buy you this, I'll buy you that)

he may not actually buy you that (okay he will, but) he said it mostly to crack a smile out of you

Barty:

panic, "nononono, whoa, hang on, wait, hang on, what's with the tears? what? hang on"

immediately "okay wait stop, no, don't cry. You're right, I'm sorry. You were right. Fuck I'm such a wanker."

gathers you up in his arms and straight up will not let you go for the rest of the day/night - basically barks at anyone who tries to approach the two of you during this time

gets anything you need: thirsty? you stay put, he'll get you water. Hungry? he'll take a quick jaunt to the kitchens (i.e., acts of service)

I think he might cry about it later because he feels guilty.....and the roles will need to be reversed.

Lily:

tbh I see her being stubborn about it - she's rarely wrong and she's not going to start now

except....except you look so hurt and dejected; was that really right? and was it worth being right when you looked like that?

it would feel fundamentally wrong

she'd want to talk it out - have a full blown conversation about what happened, why it happened, how it could have gone differently and how you two will navigate things going further

throughout the entire conversation though she'd be holding your hand and rubbing soothing circles on it and forcing you to make eye contact with her so you know she's being sincere

she might suggest getting ice cream or something after as a treat lol

The art director & the Good Omens book cover tier list of doom, part 2

Part 1 l Part 2

I am your resident Art Director/Good Omens enthusiast, and welcome to my completely meta-free book cover tier list. Listen, making a book cover is HARD. I should know. But while we salute these artists for their hard work and time, I think we can all admit that once in a while, the vision is just not on. And on very rare occasions, publishers seemed to have managed to commission the cover art directly from hell... here's where we left off last time:

Onwards and upwards, as they say. 11. International paperbacks, Goda Omen

It is inexplicable to me but I LOVE this cover art. It's so sweet and innocent, the colours are contrasty and fun, and the layout leaves enough room for the text. Maybe I would call it slightly inaccurate to have our boys dancing on Greenland while the UK has drowned in a great flood, but hey. It's charming. The international cover gets a thwack with a ruler for trying to fit "creator of Discworld" in between the two wings like that, though. Tier: Great

12. Italian Cover, Buona Apocalisse à tutti!

The Italian translation of Good Omens into "Happy Apocalypse to All!" really tickles my funny bone. Unlike this cover which is trying to scrape at it with a dull knife until I'm screaming on the floor. I know demons can only dance badly, but does Crowley *really* have to fracture both ankles while trying? Aziraphale pelvic thrusting his way into heaven is a visual I didn't think I'd ever want. Minus so many points for random murder alley where this is all occurring. At least the designer managed to wrangle the type into one of the best proportional layouts I've seen thus far? Tier: Bad

13. Italian Cover, Good Omens

A truly valiant attempt here to rectify a terrifying situation with that earlier Italian version. While this one actually seems much more interesting at a glance, the details kinda get to me. The Bentley's steering being on the wrong side, the word Omens kindasortanotfquite fitting on the black wing, the motorcycles with no drivers... TIMES NEW ROMAN FOR THE AUTHORS NAMES. I don't think it can even be redeemed by the most powerfully rendered Sacred Heart/Cardi B W.A.P. imagery I've ever seen. Tier: Good (Omens)

14. Japanese cover, Good Omens

Look, this designer GETS IT. Crowley and Aziraphale are a pair, a group of the two of us. Do not separate. It's also the only cover I've seen that uses shades of grey! The woodcut vibes are STRONG AND POWERFUL. The type is well placed! I should love this, except the end result kinda looks like a manual for clinical depression in the workplace? It's ending up higher on the list than it deserves, frankly.

Tier: Good (Omens)

15. Japanese cover, Good Omens

This cover might as well be an Ethereal/Occult firemen's calendar. Someone wanted teens to cut off this cover and tape it to their bedroom wall. I can't even judge the typography or the symbolism because I'm just getting hit with waves of pheromones and angst. I can't even tell if it's good but it's going in the Good pile because I can't look at it anymore...

Tier: Good (Omens)

16. Japanese covers, Good Omens

Other people have assured me that this is, in fact, a dual Good omens cover. Alas, I cannot tell. I don't possess compound eyes or even an exoskeleton, and as such lack the ability to decipher these decisions.

Tier: WTF

16. Japanese cover, Good Omens

Holy overlap, Batman! I can’t fault this designer for wanting to reuse the wonderful dual illustrations in a Ying-Yang layout, all the elements are there, but there’s a clinginess to the type and positioning that makes me feel like someone is trying to hurt the letters? Is this designer okay? Do they need a hug?

Tier: Does the Job

18. Chinese cover, Good Omens

Can I say how charming it is they’ve managed to conserve the halo and devils tale on the Chinese title, as well as the woodcut detailing? However, the simplicity of the cute, contrasting wing design is sadly swallowed by the intense, New-York taxi cab vibes coming off the yellow and checkerboard text block. It could have been so good! Chinese readers: I am mad on your behalf!

Tier: Not so good (Omens)

19. UK 1991 paperback, Good Omens

What are we doing here, people. I think I've stepped into a Jungian analysis of what it feels like to have read Good Omens. It's dreamy yet unsettling. Right yet very wrong. And Ol' "Tiny Hands" Aziraphale up there is really judging me for what they found inside my mind. In less upsetting news, we've kept the improved typography and layout of the authors and book title. All is not lost to the nightmare.

Tier: Not so good (Omens)

20. 50 Shades of Gray rip-off cover, Good Omens

*panic* WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE, PEOPLE...?! Bonus : the guardian quote is almost as much of a mystery as the cover it’s on.

Tier: WTF

End of round 2.

[soundbluster]

So as I've spoken about before I've been really struggling with burnout/ depression recently... It's awful to just have no interest at all in the project (SGP) and franchise (Transformers) that's meant so much to me for the past five years.

And I've felt so guilty about being unable to give you all the content/comics you've come to expect from me.

Being super busy at the moment isn't helping either... I haven't had a clear day since February and that's not going to change until the end of may... I just haven't had the time to sit and draw comic pages like I used to.

I'm starting to come out of it, just colouring line art I already had done is helping... But I'm going to cut back on how many pages I was putting out... At the moment I'm aiming for ONE a week, possibly increasing to two once the irl sh!t has calmed down. (Rather than the 3-4 I was doing previously).

----

As for the future... Some of you have been following my second account where I've been mainly drawing ghost fanart. And that's helped with the burnout because it's something completely different. I actually enjoy drawing again... Something I haven't felt for quite some time.

Looking back over the last 2 years I've drawn virtually nothing else except SGPrime (I haven't even been drawing non SG transformers)... And that's not great for my development as an artist, and is probably why I've crashed so hard over the last few months...

So, to stop this complete burn out happening again I think I do need to have a second non-transformers project going... Once the irl sh!t is done and I have more free time again... I don't know what that's going to be, but I need more "balance" in my art life, so to speak...

----

I hope this drop in output isn't too much of a problem and I have to thank all of you for sticking with me over the last month(s).

[nunalastor]

Recently I've been really obsessed with this au I imagined in my head...

Split Personality Alastor au.

So here is a basic explanation for the au and if people like it I'll develop it further and write parts for it.

In this au, it will start with human child Alastor, which would most likely stay for 1-2 parts and then move on to either adult or demon.

There are no clear ships, but so far but I'm leaning into Dustradio (top Angel) with extremely platonic Radiobelle (Not a ship, but they will be really close. Like family.)

I don't know anything about split personalities so this is just my version of it, not the actual thing. I'll also probably colour code for the two.

Anyways, for explanations I'll keep it all brief.

—Alastor's actual name is Alistor, Alastor is the split personality which was formed on the core memory of his mother telling him about smiling.

—Alistor's father loved him a lot, and always treated him well.

—Alastor, however, was hated and abused by his father.

—Alistor's mother and father hated each other, often having arguments whenever meeting which ended in physical fights. However, his mother always made sure to pretend to lose whenever Alistor could hear or watch.

—Alistor is the original, if you haven't seen already and I will be going with his name for most neutral bits.

—His mother always held seriousness and his father was always lighthearted.

—Alastor doesn't really like Alistor, nor does he hate him. But he does have a protective urge.

—Alastor doesn't really have emotions

—Alistor is a crybaby, weak and almost never smiles. However, when he smiles it's brighter than anything.

—Alistor is a pretty crier, like a really really pretty crier.

—Alistor is emotionally intelligent.

—Alistor, in hell, made Alastor promise to not hurt anyone he grew to care about. No deals were made because Alastor always honoured his deals with Alistor.

—Alistor can read people. So can Alastor.

—Alastor has a high pain tolerance.

—Alistor also has a high pain tolerance, but often cries because he hates pain either way.

—Alastor is a bit of a masochist.

—When they went to hell, Alistor was locked away in their mind.

—Their mind is a black place where they stay when the other is taking over the body.

—Alistor can experience everything even when Alastor is taking over the body and vice versa.

—Alistor's old favourite parent was his father, that changed after his father beat Alastor.

—Alistor's father wanted Alistor and not Alastor, so he was distraught when Alastor began to take over more often.

—Alistor was a good person, and often volunteered at charities. That is why many thought Alastor was a good person. They never knew about the split personalities.

—Alistor's classmates often bullied him because they liked how he looked when he was crying, Alistor was basically a sadist creating person since he was so pretty when he cried.

—Alistor's form when in their mind often takes his form as a human child.

—Alastor's form is often that of their deer demon form, but as a child.

—Alistor loved new things and quickly understood technology despite Alastor's best efforts to hide from those sorts of things.

—Angel thinks Alistor is cute.

—The only time Alistor is released in hell is when he is alone with Angel.

—Alistor is quick to warm up to others and is a social butterfly that could never spread their wings.

—Alastor is apathetic.

—Angel has a protective urge with Alistor

—(follow on from before) Angel is protective of Alistor, and won't let Alastor do dangerous things. Of course he only voices these thoughts in private.

—Alistor cares for Alastor.

—Charlie found out about Alistor through her own observations and often comforts him even when Alastor is in control which causes Alastor not to like her.

—Charlie is extremely overprotective of Alistor, as he is kind of a child.

—Alistor is an amazing cook.

—Alastor is a great radio host and loves attention.

—Alistor has stage-fright, but can be an amazing host when he forgets it.

—Alistor was supposed to go to heaven, but was dragged down by Alastor.

—Alistor never blames anyone.

—Alastor has major trust issues and only trusts Alistor.

—Alastor kind of cares for Alistor.

—Alistor cares for his mother but knew how manipulative she was sometimes.

—Alastor's favourite parent is his mother.

—Alistor likes Vox, and is the reason Alastor isn't actively murdering him.

—Alistor hates Valentino.

—Alastor hates almost everyone and everything

—Alistor's father is searching for him, even in hell.

—Vox also knows of the split personalities and often talks to Alistor.

—It's close to impossible not to like Alistor.

—It's close to impossible not to hate Alastor.

—Alistor can stand up for himself, but it's rare so Alastor stands up for him.

—Sometimes Alistor's emotions seep through into Alastor, making Alastor cry despite not feeling anything.

That's all! Can't you tell I favourite Alistor?

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?

it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".

i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.

the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.

it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.

tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.

#ramble #ok to reblog btw i'm fine with this being shared #this was meant to be a short version but this is just the whole story whoops #sorry i realised the way i phrased it sounded like i'm the detrans you see in the news #i'm Technically a detransitioner because a lot of detrans stats are people who go on to RETRANSITION #because detransition is often because of social stigma and not because you realised you weren't trans #so anyway. terfs are cancer and if you don't think their bs is harming children you're wrong #i know it's easy to say 'you should've used your brain and realised those people were wrong' #but like. when you're 16 you're SO impressionable. even if you think you aren't #especially when you're watching people who have been transitioning longer than you and you assume they know everything #i was in my mid-late teens when 'transtrender' videos were MASSIVE and i believed it!!! and i was Not nice about those people #all they made me believe was that being trans couldn't be colourful and comfy and fun. it just had to be Pain #i hope everyone who contributed to the 'you need to be this way to be trans' mindset knows how much hurt they've caused #nowadays i don't care. go and be stargender. we have actual problems to deal with not debates about neopronouns #anyway this was long. that's the story

Appreciation post for 'girly girl' characters and/or shows that celebrate traditionally feminine things that girls and women are shamed for.

Characters on this list that love makeup, fashion, hair, etc. Characters that are still written as strong, intelligent, brave, etc. That told young girls that these interests are valid, they are not lesser interests. Being feminine and liking traditionally feminine things does not make them weak.

#I'm so glad I got to grow up with these girls #I was originally gonna make a post of Barbie Daphne and Stella and be like. They remind me so much of each other #And how much I love characters like them #Because I do #But then I was like fuck it let's just make a post for all the girly girls because they're so good #So here we are. In a world of misogyny. We still have them. And I am so greatful #I'm sad I missed out on celebrating my femininity and stuff like this in my teen years because of just. Stuff I was going through #But I'm glad I'm doing it now. I've been getting into makeup for the past year. Mostly eye it's so fun #The Barbie movie. Dressing up for it. Being proud makeup and skirts and dressing up like I did as a girl. God it was so wonderful #I've not felt this connected to this part of myself in years. It has helped to much #It reminded me of my love for Barbie. The movies. The fairies and mairmaids. The bright colours and fashions #And my love for all of these shows. The outfits and designs I fell in love with. The friendships and sisterhoods in all of them. #Yes it's just Rarity. I know some of the others girls also fit. But some don't as much so I didn't wanna just put a group one #And I know Kim and some others aren't as girly as others. But she's still a good example. #Her and Monique's shopping trip and other stuff is engraved into my mind. I actually think about them a lot I love them #Daphne was also a masisve awakening for me. I had such a crush on her. And the Hex Girls. #If you're wondering why other shows aren't on here. Like Trollz or Powerpuff Girls or something. It's msotly based on what I watched #And I didn't really watch them I'm sorry but feel free to add more. #We're ignoring how I mispelled mermaids. I'm not going back to change that tag. #Anyway I love women basically. We're awesome. #Barbie #Scooby Doo #Bratz #Monster High #Kim Possible #My Little Pony #Winx #Mew Mew Power

au in which lae'zel hears gale telling tav that he can't share his partner with anyone (her in this case) because if he gives 100% of himself he needs to get 100% back and instead of sticking to her guns as well she takes it as a challenge like are you saying they can't do it? are you saying that she can't dedicate to herself to two people while she is the future liberator of the entire gythianki race? for that matter isn't gale a magnificent wizard? is he incapable of raising to the task? and then gale goes excuse me... and that's how they end up in a throuple.

#antiqua plays bg3 #if anyone can do it they can do it. they make colour coded calendar plans #I know they aren't poly but it would have been hilarious if larian was like only a few poly combination actually work. but like for real #and not just because halsin is fine being a secondary partner #at least I think he's fine. halsin still escapes me as a character so I don't know how fine he is. the game isn't kind to him. #also in this scenario I am imagining tav being asked to choose because I think that if gale and lae'zel got together they would never #like those two are monogamous as hell

(We've all seen the first one, but the source for the second one from the official artist is here)

Yelan. Yelan, Madame Yelan, what on earth is this outfit. Granted, please don't get me wrong, I loved and was enthralled when I first caught a glimpse of her (also any glimpse of Yelan thrills me) in it, but geez. And yet, they're so consistent with her design;

— The single-sleeved jacket is a brilliant little nod to her mantle but making it something utterly hers within something that is an AU. No mystical beasts or Tsaritsa here! — The straps near her neck are a very different, but quite nice, summer-like rendition to Hoyo's consistent choice for Yelan of a halter/high neck (even the Pizza Hut ad had her in a turtleneck). A lower neckline is something that they actively seem to avoid for her so far. — The amount of see-through fabric is simply a call-back to her default outfit, but rather than spots of it left and right, it's her full-midriff and leg. It fits, it's nothing new. And if anything, funnily enough, I'd seen numerous artworks pop up of Yelan in swimming attire, and all of the designs felt a little off. I don't actually envision her in a bikini like many draw her, but instead, something like what you see here from her neck, to the midriff to the hips. Much more fitting in my opinion, actually, so I like seeing that concept in an outfit in circumstances where you'd expect a lot of summer influence. — And a detail that makes me laugh: the hand that has the white glove in her canonical outfit is also white here, and same with the black one. Also, the bracelet. God, I love consistency even if it seems trivial. But nothing's ever trivial to me guys, you know this.

All in all, thirst trap, sure, but also, good decisions were made.

Nothing is better than getting so in the zone with art that literally hours can go by without me realising the passage of them

#I'm doing everything i can to improve and not overthink #but it's all over the place and I think i need to formulate some goals #what to focus on; what to give less of a priority #i think i need to focus on faces and expressions next??? #that or trying to figure out how to colour with more consistency and knowledge and actual ability #i think i made some improvements with gesture even though i still need to do more #but I feel like my art lacks personality because i haven't found my footing with colours and expressions yet #i don't know #i wish someone could tell me what's off - what i should prioritise

thinking abt my "culture" as a concept is super... strange. as a white north american. and i dont know how to articulate this beyond "its so big it's nothing" and im aware it's so so so incredibly privileged to have a big disconnect from "my culture" because it's everywhere as opposed to because people tried to stamp it out! I know. i'm just thinking out loud about how it is strange.

[on "no reblogs" just bc i dont know if im articulating this exactly as what i mean and im mostly thinking out loud in the tags]

#hello bat if you see this youve actually sparked thinkingthoughts bc of that oc question on nicola-writes skdhfksdf #anyway. #i dont know the actual CULTURAL origin of the food i eat or the clothes i wear or the music i listen to or w/e #i know its. european. presumably. and i know it's canadian/american clusterfuck. and i also know it is influenced by other cultures #on some level ! like i dont live in a bubble with NO other cultures in it but i dont rlly think anyone does lol #but like..... all the influence i can NAME is ONLY influence from /other/ cultures. not mine #i can recognize when something *isnt* part of my culture but i also dont rlly know how to define what my *culture* is beyond... #idk ! a big ol slab of White #the hallmarks of my culture are like. whiteness. overarching influence. white christianity. having everything made for ''wide audiences'' #usually just made w/people like me in mind (most popular clothes most common food most tv characters etc) #and again thats SUPER privileged. obviously. im not complaining about anything (though ofc i dont think it /should/ be like this). #this isnt a ''poor white ppl :( no culture :('' thing this is more... wow we really did just destroy our own individuality for the sake of #white supremacy didnt we. #i dont know many people around here who can name parts of French or English or German or Irish or w/e culture SPECIFICALLY #even if thats what they are. #i read somethign once written by a woman of colour talking about how she noticed that white ppl seem to sacrifice actual individual culture #for the culture of Whiteness and White Supremacy (she capitalized it like that specifically. dont remember why) #especially white north americans (its less common in other places) #which CREATES this phenomenon where we genuinely just don't participate with culture on a conscious level very often #because. its everywhere. it's the ''default assumption'' of north american society. POC & their cultures are ignored in favor of us #and we really only notice when something is *not* our culture but not when something *is* our culture bc we never have to look for it #we participate with culture. obviously. its impossible not to. but we often dont do it on purpose. #idk. thoughts!! thought times. sometimes i have a single thought in my brain #and i am aware this is like 1 perspective and also the least important perspective on race & culture ever kdjhksdjf #i am just thinking.
