#lizzy speaks #polls #for honesty's sake i have 97 tabs on firefox! #new years resolution is to have less than 5 tabs every time i close firefox... #it was over 100 earlier... #im trying to clean them up right now bc my computer crashed presumably from a memory overload while drawing and i dont like that #feel free to vote and reblog or whatever i just thought this would be funny since im in a predicament right now LOL #me and my tabs staring at each other lovingly (its mostly just tumblr and art references) #if we were going by my phone though i have 16 tabs lol. would probably have more if i was in a fic reading mood though

like i wish we got rebecca coming clean to the team. jamie had to fight to make it up to the team in season two, and that was what he needed to do! he hurt them all and he's growing from it. rebecca wasn't just risking the club itself, but the lives of everyone on that team and involved with it. even colin said that his nana didn't talk to him again after he got relegated at another club, showing that it really is a big deal that affects livelihoods. idk just having her apologize to three people (ted, higgins, and presumably keeley) and that fixing it...idk. never sat right with me

#rebecca WOULD tell the team. she would. for the sake of honesty and improving herself and healing. #also they should've given me more rebecca bonding with the team moments 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 #WE DESERVED IT #shame that only in ONE episode did we see her go to a match with richmond gear on

My mom is yelling at me for making self deprecating jokes all the time. All I did was take a jab at my musical skills. I'm so sick of her getting pissed with me for being funny, truthful and correct. Everyday it's the same thing over and over again, "Vee! Stop." "Vee it's not funny cut it out!" I'm just being funny, like geebus christ, woman, chill.

#self deprecating humor #self depricating #i was only being honest #ventpost #just honesty #just being honest #sorry that I'm correct #not gonna be perfect bitch #for fucks sake #getting sick of this

#layla veillon #alexander brandys #fskateedit #jgp courchevel 2022 #sorry this is SO late but i've been thinking abt this program for weeks #like for technique.. look at the curve lift! and the second row gifs of the stsq #but also this is just a genius concept for a junior fd #obv the song in context of the musical is deeply disturbing and i have very real issues with deh as a whole but #as a standalone piece it's just straightforward and heartwarming. a little performative but without sacrificing any of its sincerity #and its perfect because theyre not trying to present themselves as 'almost seniors' by trying to act or be dramatic or mature #bc for gods sake this is their junior debut #but theyre also not going for a childlike or kitchy progam or just borrowing a warhorse without really interpreting it #like it takes the limits of their expression and polish (as nervous first year juniors fresh to the intl field) #that theyre probably not rlly able to present much more beyond honesty and dedication and finishing their movements #and turns that into a strength! like there IS no other acceptable way to approach a dear evan hansen program #(can you imagine a senior team... trying to skate to this....) #(they would get laughed out of the room) #for them its an easier presentation than anything else that would be memorable #and for the audience it is memorable! because of how disarmingly simple and meaningful and earnest it is in all its teenagedness #idk man i watched this live and almost cried. then got angry at myself for getting emotional over dear #evan hansen. then watched the on ice perspectives video and cried again #like it just breathes... the changes of edge in the ofst... the pause before the character step... #AND the ability to use one piece for the whole program despite the music tempo change restriction!! #genius im in love cannot wait to see how this develops

“Today I’m worrying about catastrophic ecosystem collapse. What if it gets just a little too hot or a little too acidic a little too fast in the ocean, and some important keystone species goes extinct and it fucks up the nitrogen cycle or oceanic oxygen production or kills off all the fish and the whole of Earth’s ecosystem just goes kaput then and there? Very concerning.” Don’t worry about it, nothing bad will happen if an important species goes extinct. Sub-Saharan Africans and Hispanics will simply fulfill the role that that old species used to fill, and they’ll do it for a lot cheaper

Human ethnic groups do not fill ecological niches the way species do. At least, they don't unless a given society has forced them into that role. There are certainly societies where a given ethnic group, or other type of social group, is relied on for (and thereby often coerced into) a specific kind of labor—see the burakumin in Japan. But these situations are socially constructed. It doesn't actually need to be burakumin doing meat processing, anybody could do that!

In ecosystems, organisms are generally hyper-specialized for a particular niche. This is what makes the loss of an organism so potentially devastating. Ecosystems are delicately balanced towers that rely on each species doing its job. In human society, the appropriate analogy is professions, not ethnic groups.

This would be obvious, frankly, upon any contemplation at all. Your implicit assertion ("if we allow widespread immigration, white people will go extinct, which will cause a catastrophic collapse of human society") is ludicrous on the face of it; it relies on a strained analogy that doesn't take the specifics of either situation into account. It is nonsense designed to prop up your agenda, not reasoned argument.

And, once again, I will clarify that I have no desire to eliminate white people! I just don't want to restrict human freedom en masse in order to preserve whiteness or whatever, because that is very silly.

Finally, it's worth noting that as far as I can tell, white people aren't even in any danger of "going extinct". Like, they're not a threatened group! This is all purely hypothetical on your part! It's nonsense!

#society #I didn't want to comment on it in the body of the post because it's not relevant to the point I'm making #but there is something so hateful in the way you have phrased this anon #I mean this in full sincerity: if you care about truth and value self-honesty #I would recommend contemplating how much of your opinions here are based on reasoned argument and how much are based on #a gut level dislike of black and/or latin american people #because there is a gut level dislike which comes through in your anons #and for the sake of *your own ability to reason* I believe it would behoove you to contemplate if it is affecting your judgement #please don't tell me the result; you can keep them to yourself one way or the other. if you send a message telling me I won't respond

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

starting next month, my commission prices will be raising

i'm making an early announcement so that anyone who wants to snag a piece at my current prices has the chance to, but starting novemeber, my prices will be changing.

commission slots will be open until the end of the month, but once november rolls around i'll be closed until i'm through my queue.

reopened prices will be higher, as currently, the amount of time it takes and strain it puts on my wrists isn't worth what i'm charging, and as much as i really want to keep my commissions as accessible as possible, i'll also be starting a job part time due to lack of funds.

i'm happy to say that while it'll be a bit before regular posting again, i will be posting art again as soon as tomorrow. thank you all for understanding.

reblogs are deeply appreciated

#if you grab a piece please be aware of the length of my current queue! i can't link it because tumblr will eat the post #but you can find it in my pinned post and my bio #i didnt want to raise them suddenly since i know a couple people told me they were saving for it #and i really would love to not raise them at all honesty #but . unfortunately my hands hurt #my boyfriend's teeth hurt #need money to fix hurt :( wargh #moo.txt #reblogs of this are very appreciated for the sake of getting word out #i'm worried about rent this month which is. why i got a job :S

girl help i am having Thoughts

#is it bc i highly value communication and honesty and compassion and dont believe fighting is inevitable or necessary? #and that all problems and misunderstandings can be solved without if? #or is it because i am terrified out of my mind of even percieved anger or the smallest expressions of anger #and conflict-avoidant to an extreme because of it #i feel like realistically its a mix of both? idk #on one hand i understand fighting #emotions are messy and no one is perfect and things can spill #but on the other hand. does it really need to happen? can you not be honest and open without aggression? #can you not relay frustration or anger or upset without taking it out on another person? #idk man #its weird too bc i KNOW i used to be fairly aggressive at least online in terms of handling conflict. #i got into fights for other ppls sakes without being asked and they hated it and i finally learned to stop #but idk how i went from one extreme directly to the other i dont remember the inbetween #i simply want. the happy medium please 🙏 #alyalyoxenfree

I’m not uncomfortable with the show. I never said I was nor implied I was. Your putting words in my mouth. I think your missing my point entirely, which is it seems your hell bent on defending the consent of the show bc of how much like you it. I don’t have a problem with the shows consent or lack thereof. I was merely trying to play devils advocate and make a counter point on the Views of consent but it seems to have gone over your head entirely, since your laser focused on whether or not I’m comfortable with watching. Which was never the point to begin with. I don’t think I’ll make myself any clearer without a constant back and forth so I’ll end it here. Thanks for the responses this far!

I know that you're making a counterpoint. And I've been very clear that you are welcome to that counterpoint.

But that doesn't mean I'm not going to defend what's going on in a show I like and enjoy and that went out of it's way to illustrate consent.

I promise, it hasn't gone my head. I just chose to see your asks as honest statements and not an attempt to play devil's advocate because I have spoken against rape in other shows.

This is not a mystery. I know that you're trying to get me in a catch-22 about calling out rape in other shows.

But the problem here is how hard SCOY worked to illustrate that this was all a consensual act and that everyone had agreed beforehand.

Again.

I responded out of good faith in the hopes that you weren't merely playing devil's advocate and were actually a hurt person seeking validation for your feelings.

But if you are playing devil's advocate, please just tell me next time?

SCOY very specifically went out of its way to show that it sought consent for everyone in the relationship and in that moment. It was, frankly, beautiful to see compared to other shows that I have loved and even better next to shows I've disliked in the past.

I don't... I don't understand how you wanted me to respond to you're devil's advocate argument? Do you want me to just agree that KP wasn't really rape because... SCOY might have had dubious consent because some people aren't comfortable with sober consent to drunken acts?

That's not how any of this works?

Did you want me to respond to your arguments by just agreeing? That's not how this works either. Devil's advocate doesn't mean that I just accept what you say and agree.

Devil's advocate means you're set up a situation for me to never be able to answer right because you're using a logical fallacy to call out an issue that I don't agree with and when I respond with kindness and directness in explaining that I feel the show did an amazing job of illustrating consent and that anyone who feels uncomfortable might want to stop because that's what's best for them... that is responding to a devil's advocate.

I feel like you wanted me to just... not respond. But that's not what I do.

Yes, I am defending SCOY because they have done something I've never seen before in BL. And that's worth defending to me.

But just... okay. Please let this be done. The devil doesn't need more advocates. I now have an opposing viewpoint on my tumblr and I have spoken about the importance of taking your own comfort into mind when watching shows and I've made it clear that I will treat any stories with at least my own personal attempts at kindness and compassion.

I am begging you to just let me exist. I stopped tagging my criticism for most shows, I try to just let it me and let only the people who follow me read those things. Just let me be. Please.

#no tags here #spoilers #just let me be #i don't mind asks done in honesty #or for sometihng more #but just to try to get... what out of me? #what did you want? #don't send me an ask #more will be deleted #i am done arguing with a devil's advocate for the sake of trying to make an argument into something more personal

It's been so funny seeing you talk about your streamer au because it hit such a specific brainworm for me. I had been considering the logistics of making sun and moon vtuber models for a hot minute, but set it down since the timing wasn't right, just to be hit by the au like a freight train lmao

Needless to say I'm 👁👁 because the idea just has me enraptured lolol and now I'm rehitting the vtuber drawing board ripp

IRONICALLY I originally played around with the idea that they were Vtubers - torn between making them human and the animatronic appearance was their Vtuber mascot, OR that they really did look like that and all the viewers just assumed it was a hyper-realistic Vtuber effect.

#I didn't get very far with the concept because #in all honesty I can't actually watch vtuber content #the appearance of them just generally makes me uncomfortable #pretty sure it's just The Autism(tm) but I just can't stand motion tracking animation like that #wigs me out #which SUCKS because I know vtuber videos can be a lot of fun #and it's nothing against the youtubers themselves #i think if it was still it would be fine? like if it's just art #but the second the eyes/mouth start moving it's all over #ANYWAY this was long winded and unnecessary info #i'm glad I could inspire you to pursue those brainworms!! #please enjoy them for both of our sakes haha

#okay. i can handle this: #...i just really wish it wasnt so hard to do everything for me. like. ive spent years of my childhood molding myself for the sake of others #and what for? now that im an adult im just trying to completely remove the trauma i experienced as a kid. #and i just look back on all these things that hurt me and think #idk. theres not much to be done. in a way its a relief being able to pinpoint #diary #personal #i was gonna say i wish my mood was more stable but thats not quite right. #i guess i moreso wished i was a bit more resiliant. i wish that not every little thing hurt #or just. i wish i could handle the stressors of life a bit more easily. but i cant. #idk. its been a really rough week to be entirely honest. and then i just have little moments like these #where things sorta feel like they just fall into place. where i feel like i was just a kid. i didnt really understandokay im acting like thi #but really in the end it doesnt stop it for me? everything still hurts so much. #and its still hard to know all the things i need to deal with and do. #and honesty i know i cant handle the stresses that come with adult life. i cant even support myself really #i fully depend on my parents for any and all basic necessities. #i can pay for my health insurance yeah. but thats about it? #i could potentially pay for my phone and maybe other basic necessities. but in practice i cant. #the process of setting these things up is damn near impossible for me. #honestly. i think that while i enjoy the internet and such sometimes this is the worst time for me to exist #bc i just. am constantly stressed with so many things bc of it. and theres not much to be done really. #...i hope i can book an appointment with my therapist sooner than later. #at least i have a bunch of stuff i can do to keep myself busy ig... #but really. thats the problem. theres too much to do and its far too stressful. #well. at least ill be able to play with some things ig. idk. i have a new planner im excited about. #i like planning. i miss studying. i hate working. im tired of only having the options of working out or being in pain. #im just so tired of it all. #that appointment i had with the specialist sorta really made me realize. oh shit. this is my life now and im fucked. #like. i can take anti-inflammatories. but thats it really. my life is just gonna constantly be like this. and im tired. #idk. im gonna go finish my latte.

I dont get anyone who lies about insignificant stuff.

I'd much rather hear you're doing something i am slightly not fond of than being lied to.

#i want open communication and honesty #i give it out #i deserve it back #like idgaf if you smoke weed #or you did something different in a day #i really really hate being lied to #i'll tolerate a lot of behavior more than any amount of lying #my ex was a former meth head for god sake #and hardcore sw too #like i literally do not fucking care
