my brother asked why my voice was so deep and I said I’d give him 3 guesses, and he said “You doin the little flip-flop? The little switcheroo?” and it took me like 10 seconds to realize that was his Polite Way of asking if i was transitioning

#nnstuff #trans #transgender #hes so fuckin funny like #hes not the most Well Informed or anything but #hes not intentionally cruel #he really dont gaf lol #so thats nice #hes also the first person to actually comment on it #for a while i thought it just wasnt noticable #cuz my mom and sister didnt say anything about it #my gender is too complex for him to understand but he's literally just like Whatever #hrt

girl experiences gender euphoria and is immediately slammed by grief

for @litttlittt <3. this was supposed to be a portrait of caroline hill, but litta mentioned tim looking like janet when dressed as caroline and identity issues and angst and things spiraled

something about tim not knowing if he's his mother's child or bruce's or neither's.

figuring out the looks:

i wanted janet to have that poofy 70s hair

#tim drake #dc #bruce wayne #janet drake #sart #i'm picturing this as transfemme tim hence “he” and also compounding issues about bruce treating him as a daughter #which is exactly the gender validation tim wants and needs but isnt sure he deserves #but this also definitely works for trans tim #she gets to process that she looks like her mom!! and her mom will never get to know her daughter #would she have wanted to know her daughter? even though she showered tim with love when she was around #she barely knew her son #gender idk he's a girl 👍 hope that helps #i went down a rabbit hole looking up vintage dior necklaces -- hopefully something martha wayne wouldve worn #-- but dior necklaces are COMPLICATED #i almost drew pearls but i think that wouldve been too cruel to bruce lol #(a decent amount of my art--even when it's not femme tim--gets tagged 'gender' and i dont know what im going but im glad 👍)

spiderpeople that could defeat spot first try:

1. spider-ham (cartoon logic dictates that he can just pick up the holes)

2. sun-spider (disabled solidarity. would probably get spot to come to the realization that hes 100% disabled and be empathetic about it)

3. spider-punk (would explain that a majority of spots problems originate from the shitty system hes in and that capitalism is the problem, not miles)

#atsv #sun spider #spider punk #spider ham #spiderman across the spiderverse #across the spiderverse #the spot #spot #johnathon ohnn #once again spot 👏 is 👏 disabled 👏👏👏 #spider punk and sun spider teaming up against spot would end him instantly #youre disabled + capitalism is evil + ratio #(i dont mean that as in 'disability is bad'i mean that as in a lot of his troubles and the mistreatment he experiences is because #people are shitty to disabled people #especially visibly ones #and i mean. johns body got fucked up by the explosion+dark matter and people are cruel to him because of his unsettling/''funny'' appearanc #also we can discuss all day the possibilities of how he mustve had to adapt to all the ways his body changed and how #hes missing organs and very likely had to relearn a lot of how his body functions #but looking purely at canon spot outright calls his holes a curse and has been shown to be inconvenienced by them several times over #hes also brought up how nobody is willing to hire him #so....idk yeah the system and how it treats disabled people (especially those that look different) is fucked up. sunspider and spiderpunk #get his ass) #charlotte webber #I FORGOT HER NAME SORRY #hobie brown

#anyway IM BACK FROM THE DEAD...for now #ill be back in my grave soon no doubt #but for now i bring you knight hob #with some angst #..angst that leads nowhere cause i made those lines up #idk i like to think this is his breaking moment or something #like a whole 'dont ask me to be yours when you wont be mine' type of deal #love a feelings reveal #'surely you know by now...no no i refuse you would be that cruel' #'to ask that of me - to be. to be /yours/...gasp scream cry heave idk' #you get the gist right #'it would burn me up inside' and all that jazz #dont ask that of me because i want everything #ANYWAY #love me some knight hob #also sorry for being away :/ #but #back to the art #KNIGHT HOB #dreamling #sandman #i would write more tags but im so late i need to go

[fairycosmos]

it sucks to be alive at a time where we know just enough about the universe to fully understand that we truly know nothing at all. i want to be a girl from the past who thought the sun was god and died at age 24

#id take that over thos AGGRESIVE KNOWING/NOTKNOWING AND THE FUCKING SCREENS EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME #sorry i know we're luckier than most of human history ever was but it's cruel #that we understand that we dont understand and never will

Long Ramble about CCCC and my overall feelings on what the album means and such

Something I find important about CCCC is like.

The fact that all three of them are, in some way, trying.

Heart is emotion, he is prone to himself and being reactionary, in the moment. Prone to the past of learned behavior and trauma. Reactive and rapidly changing. He isn't going to make pure sense because he isn't based in logic or in societal ideals or views. He is an instinctual response to the environment and circumstances. His manipulation is not intentional. He has very little control of himself in the end. Its why Mind talks about claiming to relish entropy yet clearly needing help. But, Heart in earnest wants them to be okay and safe. He believes that Mind's control will drain the life from them. It will make things monotonous and the same. Too much order.

Mind in turn, believes Heart is manipulative with intention. He wants to control Soul or wants to just drag them all down with him into this depressive state. Mind is logic, he is the reasoning out of your emotional instinct. Your inner critique, and when unchecked, that inner critique goes from a guiding hand for your emotion to one that debates and bullies it. Invalidating its responses. Ultimately, though. Mind just believes he is helping. He is doing what must be done and telling the "hard truths" to Heart. And that Heart is being the petty child. Which- I mean. Sort of sure. But Mind is definitely fucking petty and childish. He's stubborn! Prideful! So ofc he is. Admitting you're wrong? No.. why would he EVER do that.. nuh uh.

Which is what makes Light so crucial. Mind asking Heart for help- but also. There is Soul.

Who while ambiguous in purpose, is mostly that background voice. Your inner narration. If Mind is Logic and Reason then Heart is Emotion and Instinct,, Soul is all that lives between it. And he is constantly silenced or spoken over or around. He does not get a word in edgewise until TSE. He may show up in the background occasionally but as much as Heart and Mind claim to want to keep him alive and help him, they also fail to actually acknowledge what he says.

Which is that they both are right and wrong. That this fighting is doing directly what they both feared it would. Soul is desperate by the end. He is angry and resentful because.. well. Self hatred due to intense self awareness and reflection is rather ig. Common. Im not a professional here but from personal experience, you get so tired of rehashing the same shit with yourself over and over. It all feels pointless.

The only out, by the end of it all to Soul is that if they cannot be Whole, whats the point? He is desperate. He does not want to die but he feels theres no other solution.

And. About Whole, Soul throughout the album seems to want that. At the beginning, to be Whole or Harmonious is to be mentally healthy, maybe even "normal" by society's standards. To be able to put a mask over your problems and be, again, "normal". It takes the entire album for Soul to realize that this:

1. isnt possible

And

2. There isn't anything evil or wrong with him for that.

Mental health is a struggle. But you are not evil and should not be othered because you struggle. You also do not need to be fixed for being a little different and people's opinion of you is not what matters most so long as you are happy (and not hurting others. Lol).

Thats what Two Wuv is entirely about as a song. Its a "fuck you. Fuck this! I thought I needed to be this! But I DON'T. Stop telling me who I am! How to be! I'm gonna be me!"

His entire arc is parallel to Heart and Mind's and is crucial in the culmination of becoming yourself again and accepting yourself.

But, as mental health will always be, this period of respite and self acceptance is not always forever. And as life continues or as you lapse back into a depressive episode.. you cannot help but forget what it is like when you're not this way- and hell! Vice versa too! Some people have this disconnect between the periods. Where the things from the depressive state seem dramatic or obtuse to you while you are doing better. And from the other end, you just want to be happy again.. but you get so lost in it all you can struggle to feel like you've ever been happy.

The album is about the human experience. It is about self-sabotage, mental illness, self-hatred and reflection and it is, maybe more importantly about self-acceptance and healing. Having a bit of mercy on yourself. Accepting that you are imperfect and that this is okay. And whatever flaws you may have that need to be mended or worked on, can be. And that who you are, for example, if you are queer, is okay. And no one has the right to take that identity from you! That the internalized ideas of how someone should be are not always correct or right. Not for you, at least. Stuff like that.

#chonnys charming chaos compendium #chonny jash #voidthoughts #i know the album is interpretive!! but i also think it is crucial that we dont pin any one of them down as villains or anything #that like while hms are all flawed and cruel to one another they ultimately are also victims of themselves its #its the like culprit and victim motif #the “you're doing this to yourself and you shouldn't feel you have to do that” #internal communication with yourself. learning kindness and humility and whatnot is very important!! #thats all

A short comic I made for an anthology

#millennium #I enjoyed making it #its not in the millennium comic but its luzio and sage #but the reason I made this is that I like to conceptualize all of the things that are important to me as living in my heart #on a little hill. and as I put care and love into these people and things that are important to me I'm building them a home #but the things that are mean to me. cruel even. my demons or whatever. they live in there too #and if I dont give them love and care. well. they have nowhere to sleep at night. #and they'll have to break in and destroy the things I love just to feel safe and seen and heard #and so I must sit with them and build them homes too #it's the only way I can conceptualize giving things like my anger the space that it needs #so. that's why I made this! #this comic is pretty old by now. so I might make a new thing off the same concept #I mean I might make a million new things off the same concept #I like doing that #but. yeah. anyways! #enjoy! #short comic #comics #comic art #my art #illustration #my ocs #ocs #art #digital art #original comic #mini comic

I like to think, in the hazbins fallen au, the girls have a tranquilizing gun specifically for whenever Seviathan tries to show his face

Vaggie and Emily are more than happy to take shots

Charlie:......*peeks through blinds*

Seviathan: charlieeeeee

Charlie:....*close blinds*....this is why we have a tranq gun- Em can you go tell- oh

*zooms out to show vaggie and Emily already holding the tranq guns, Vaggies trying to hide a smile while Wmily is practically bouncing in place*

Charlie:....have fun?

*In the background*

Angle:...tf???

Husk: I don't even bother anymore.

Angle: That's because you're a sad old man behind a bar counter due to smiles

Husk: I hate you

Angle: love you to baby

btw i love revenge stories i dont think anyone should ever move on peacefully. a bit obsessed with the way weissman went to the synagogue and rabbi and asks, "my choices killed a child. would god take mercy on someone like me?" and the rabbi says "it's not god's mercy you should look for. its the child's" and like you think that would spur this man into charitable activities and to maybe look out for orphans but instead he goes on a 24 hour revenge bender that ultimately ends in two revenge killings and his own death. what's better than righteous anger and wrath and love twisting someone into the worst but also a truer version of themselves <3

#like im not even reaching here. (sort of am. whatever) #rabbi goldstein essentially goes 'think of esther. you need to be a man she would take mercy on. be someone she can forgive' #and it takes all of 10 minutes for karl weissman to decide yeah ok what i need is double homicide #do i think esther would have wanted revenge in her name. dunno. maybe. #she is 11 and very much the victim of this story. maybe she would have wanted karl to just live. kids are cruel and kind in that way #but to be fair this is esther 'fuck with me and you'll hang like a dog' jankovsky #so im willing to believe she was rooting for him #also the immediate choice to make elias suffer by shooting his leg (? maybe arm) before actually killing him #i dont know. the deliberate cruelty right after he visits the synagogue. an act of defiance. giving himself up after its done. it gets me #i love . I LOVE REVENGE :) GREATEST PLOT POINT EVER!!!!!!!! #sorry everyone about the bodies thoughts. i have no idea how long this is going to last #bodies netflix #karl weissman

[theboy-thebitch-thelegend]

love how, when Charlie goes to heaven, and the court tries to decide what can get a soul into heaven, one of the criteria is "stick it to the man"

then Adam shows up in hell and announces himself as THE Man™, literally. and Sir Pentious gets into heaven by, well, sticking it to him XD

#like yes he sacrificed himself for love and all that #but we already know heaven and hell dont operate as the ultimate moral judgments that theyre supposed to be #demons showing mercy to angels; sinners trying to be redeemed while in hell; angels being cruel and bloodthirsty; etc. #but by the criteria that heaven came up with #he fit the bill #and i thought it was hilarious how Adam was bragging about being The Man becoz he really set the stage #for them all to stick it to The Man (himself) lmao #hazbin hotel #sir pentious #hazbin hotel spoilers
