#but clearly not enough

[annabelle--cane]

sure, "I'm part of this marginalized group that I'm writing about" isn't a get out of jail free card for all bigotry, but if someone says "I'm portraying an exact experience I've had, this literally happened to me" and your response is "okayyy but think of the optics of showing that that happens? maybe keep that to yourself?" it might be time to reconsider your approach.

#thinking about a time I saw someone tell an artist of color that they clearly didn't look at enough reference images of their own ethnicity #what. they said that this character's look is semi based on their own appearance. What. #marina marvels at life

Just gonna have to wait and see, right? Just wait and see! Just gotta wait and see! Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see! It's anybody's guess, we'll just have to wait and see! The future is exciting, we just gotta wait and see!

#personal #my art #Fuck your fake ass 'i am very smart!' intellectualizing “observations” and open your god damn ears. #do something for fucks sake. it's sickening seeing videos of ai crap and seeing rows and rows of repliers using their one brain synapse #to type “wow! very exciting!” “haha this is kind of scary! but in a really interesting way!” #and then they go about their day without a second thought while creative industries burn around them #i go to one of america's top tech schools too and it's enough to make you wanna tear our your hair #every day it's seminars and talks about “the potential consequences of ai!” when the consequences are happening NOW #NO MORE DISCUSSING NO MORE INTELLECTUALIZING NO MORE SOCRATIC SEMINARS NO MORE DEBATING. ACT YOU COWARDS #people are getting hurt RIGHT NOW. stop pretending to care when you clearly don't! just be honest and say you wanna make money #my time here has really made me hate academic spaces. you people are so god damn useless and cowardly.

(here's goose's pomni expression sheet in case you haven't seen it yet)

and if you're interested in how i draw her with sharp teeth, i've already made a tutorial on that!! check it out here :D

#hope you don't mind the mess... ^-^; #this is a mix of studies from canon plus a couple parts where i explain how i adapt things into my own style #i think i indicated the differences clearly enough but still be mindful of those discrepancies #the amazing digital circus #tadc #pomni #my art #my tutorials #ask response

should I use this god forsaken app more often?

I keep using Twitter how I feel like I would use Tumblr

Idk man

#how do these even work #there’s no way #I hate this #but clearly not enough #because I’m still doing it #sigh #it really works #you’ve gotta be joking #using Tumblr in my EARLY TWENTIES #I never allowed my young self this freedom #yknow what #fuck it #we ball #Al’s Tumblr era #™️

the long way down job is such an important turning point in eliot & parker’s relationship bc they’d both been viewing the things they have in common as fairly negative: they’ve both been told that they’re cold and ruthless and dangerous and they know those things are true. so when they’ve recognised themselves in each other, it’s been a sense of "the thing that’s wrong with me is a lot like the thing that’s wrong with you". and there’s comfort in that, in a way. but now eliot gets parker to see that maybe those aren’t all negative traits, they’re just… traits. neutral. it doesn’t make them bad or good, it makes them who they are. and now when they see themselves reflected in each other, it’s not a reminder that they’re wrong and bad - it’s kinship, it’s familiarity, it’s belonging.

#leverage #eliot spencer #parker #parker leverage #the long way down job #leverageposting #wren speaks #they’ve bonded over being different (shameful) but now they’re bonding over being different (neutral) #and eliot has clearly had to come a long way btwn s3 and s4 to make that realisation & we see parker have that realisation… #listening to episode commentary makes me Have Emotions like oh parker has felt like she wasn’t good enough to have a family until now. oh. #oh they recognise similar traits in each other and act different when it’s just them bc they don’t bother w the facade of humanity #and she hasn’t been able to talk to anyone about morality until now but eliot Understands in a way the others can’t #and she’s just now finally realising that she is worthy of hardison & she’s capable of a relationship which she was worried she wouldn’t be #okay. alright. ow my heart

Wait Falin turned down Shuro's purposal?? I always thought she just put him on hold or something, my autistic ass was way too confused by her response for me to know what she meant 😭😭

-🐰

Yeah she did! In the way that "I want to see the world but I don't want to settle down outside Melini" he asks her to leave it all behind and go back to the east with him and she refuses. I think he probably knew he was gonna be turned out but still had to shoot his shot.

Here's the full comic in case some people havent seen it

Falin is shy so she probably doesn't want to be direct about it but Shuro understood what she meant. She has just been going thru life by other people's wishes/desires but now she has something she wants. And as her profile says she only considered accepting his proposal because she thought she wouldn't get another one, but she doesnt has feelings for him at this moment.

If anything he asked the wrong sibling in marriage!!!

#Shuro clearly not strong enough I would give up my inheritance and home country to follow a dragon girl around in her adventurers #ask #anonymous #Dungeon meshi spoilers

“Noooo don’t be mean to the Jews!!!! They’ve just been soooo brainwashed 🥺 they were raised in a cult and fed propaganda 🥺 you need to help deprogram them 🥺” Have you considered Shutting The Fuck Up?

Do you think other groups talking about bigotry against them only do so because they’ve been lied to and tricked into thinking it exists? Or do you believe them when they talk about their experiences? Why do you treat us differently? Why is it so hard for you to admit that antisemitism is a real and massive issue (especially in your leftist/queer/etc spaces)?

It’s simultaneously demonizing and infantilizing us. Some of us are Evil Wicked Sinners, and some of us are Poor Lost Souls. And the Poor Lost Souls will be led astray by the Evil Wicked Sinners unless you, a Good Pure Righteous Christian Leftist, help us See The Light. And when we push back, when we say you are wrong, you’ll get angry and hateful and violent. Suddenly, we were never a Poor Lost Soul, just an Evil Wicked Sinner in disguise. Suddenly, you can justify any manner of cruel or hateful behavior against us. Same old shit that’s been happening for centuries, just with a fresh coat of paint.

#antisemitism #not sure if I’m accurately explaining what I’m thinking #its two related trains of thought #and i’m not sure I’ve Shown My Work and connected them clearly enough #but whtvr. I need to go get groceries so this is getting posted As Is

once again leaving my house for hours at a time because my weirdly obsessively attached new roommate is making me irritable and on edge. the worst thing is i don't think he's even intentionally trying to push every button that makes me want to be as far away from someone as possible, he's just lonely and lacks boundaries which makes his way of trying to initiate social interaction like oil and water to mine.

#🐉 #and i just do not have the mental strength to keep being gentle with him every time he walks all over my personal space #and doesnt take no for an answer or takes it as a criticism. theres only so much i can take. so avoidance it is. #like ive communicated clearly that hes overbearing in the kindest but clearest manner i can. and he still seems to think #he just needs to wear me down into letting him in. idk if romantically or platonically but either way its not happening lol. #ive complained about him enough irl and in my group chats too so this is my last resort rage room

Happy Holiday to those who celebrate, I am crouching like a sprinter in the ready position for those doors opening tomorrow

I guess old feelings don't disappear that easily

#thinking about her always and forever #trauma isnt easy to overcome and even if/when u do its not like it just leaves #rynes so used to living in anothers shadow that figuring out herself must be hard #especially when its interwoven with the complicated relationship youve had with the person you cared for the most #like ryne clearly looked up to and cared for thancred deeply even when he was fucking up #a big part of why she was struggling so much the entire time was because she wanted thancred to care for her as HER #and not just minfilia reborn #but she couldnt really see herself as anything else and thancred had his Whole Deal going on #so even after things get better and their relationshop mends itself #shed probably still have some fears about the whole situation #like what if im just a replacement still? #and such #okya thats enough ranting. im so Normal about her ok im the Normalest ever. #ryne waters #thancred waters #minfilia warde #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art #xander being insane about ryne

Whumpees who used to be notoriously heavy sleepers, but after their captivity they hardly sleep at all and the smallest sounds jolt them awake.

Caretaker hardly dares to breathe when Whumpee falls asleep around them. They silently threaten anyone within earshot not to make a sound. They protect Whumpee’s rest with a vengeance, because it’s so rare.

#imagine how Caretaker feels when Whumpee trusts them enough to sleep around them #or if Whumpee has worked themself to exhaustion and can’t help falling asleep #and Caretaker has never seen them look so calm #Maybe they accidentally make a noise—a creak in the floorboards as they try to leave the room—and Whumpee jerks awake with a curse #scrubbing the sleep from their eyes and pretending they aren’t bone-tired as they ask ‘What? what is it?’ #or pretending they didn’t wake up clearly expecting to be attacked #just—yeah. #whump
