Idk if I already sent this in or if it glitches out and didn’t send but I found this on pinterest:

OKAY SO I SAW THIS ALREADY LIKE A WEEK AGO SO I WENT INTO THIS PERSONS DMS TO ASK THEM TO TAKE IT DOWN BC I LITERALLY DONT ALLOW REPOSTS AT ALL. AND THEN THEY ACCEPTED THE REQUEST. SO I WAS LIKE OK GOOD THEYRE CIVILIZED. WE'RE GONNA SORT THIS OUT. BUT THEN THEY LEFT ME ON READ. AND THEN THEY FUCKING BLOCKED ME??????????????????????? LIKE??????????????????????

#yeah anyway i hope they explode or smth have fun knowing you steal art and then when the creator approaches you respectfully #to ask you to take their work down you fucking panic and block them bc oh noooo i have to maintain my 1k followers bc all my validation #comes from online and numerical worth and in super fucking insecure abt it #GET A THERAPIST FUCKING BITCH. OR TRY CREATING ART YOURSELF?????? MAYBE YOULL FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF #anyway wow aren't they so hot in that art😍 slay era forreal #lotus’s asks

I’m dead serious when I say I don’t give a SHIT how much it cost Martin Scorsese to make one of the last movies he will make on this earth and neither should anyone else if they aren’t pushing studio exec propaganda that their artists are greedy and out of control. What are you? The head of accounting at Paramount and Apple? You gonna wipe Tim Apple’s ass for him too? Pathetic.

#also not to put into question the popularity of the eras movie. I’m not stupid. but. #it’s worth noting that Eras movie tickets are $20 for a standard matinee and only go up from there #whereas KOTFM is going with normal people movie ticket prices. #so that’s something to consider.

'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.

I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.

About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'

-Casey Plett, Consciousness

#this quote always moves me almost to tears when i remember it #i'm not a trans woman and i don't share the author's specific experiences with transition #but it really moves me that she frame transition as joyfully giving yourself permission to approach your body #not as something that has to be disciplined and deprived and made small in all these various ways #but as a means for experiencing pleasure and joy and delight and for insisting that our feelings and desires are worth #valuing and exploring and treasuring #i always used to think of prioritizing those things for myself as selfish and irresponsible #but who does it harm to want to experience pleasure in your own body? #it's such a beautifully simple and powerful switch to have flip in your head #and equally why are we forced to deny our own pleasure in transition and anything else related to our bodies in the name of moral rectitude #this is why i get so confused and pissed off when other trans people are fatphobic for example #like why are you so invested in politics of shame and disgust that never had any purpose other than #violently disciplining people as if they've violated moral codes by existing in a body #to say nothing of white people being racist in gay and trans communities #like again this system of violence is foundational to homophobia and transphobia #so why are you acting like it has nothing to do with you #even if you are unmoved by the urgency of other people's suffering which btw you should be moved by #what do you hope to gain by acting a collaborator and handmaiden to those systems #Casey Plett #she really is one of my favorite authors i wish more non-canadians read her #this quote is from a series of columns she did ont transition and every single one is a banger #i love when she talks about the people-pleasing elements of dysphoria and transition denial #she's so sharp about noting how many of us deny our own dysphoria on the grounds that others like and validate our bodies #that's how i always felt during my cis conventionally feminine era #it pleased other people so much and also that reception felt so hollow and joyless to me because i hated it #i get less of that positive feedback but that feels so unimportant next to the joy and pleasure i get to experience #said with the understanding that i'm very privileged in being able to prioritize those things without fear. but it was a switch flip #personal nonsense

No desire to convert to catholicism but the desire to kind of pretend that no schisms ever happened.

#[sigh] and we'll pray that our unity will one day be restored and they'll know we are christians by our love #txt #It's the bi-monthly angst about denominations don't mind me #whichever church I'm attending I know it's better than my very bleak new age era so it's not worth getting too upset over I suppose #what do you do when the UCC is too reformed and not litergical enough but catholics don't like gays or ordain women and episcopalians #make me angry because they like to ignore the atrocities they orchestrated in the southern united states and honestly every single #denomination has blood on their hands from various atrocities and ugh #too transgender for orthodoxy also #the eastern orthodox church in my city says that women can't wear pants that aren't obviously pants meant for women #so I can't check it out #I will keep going to my UCC church

When Carole Lombard tackled anything it was with all her heart and soul — and that's the way she fell for Clark Gable, in a way that could have been worked only by the miracle that makes hearts beat faster on Valentine's Day. Everyone who knew Carole loved her; everyone loved Gable, too — and when they loved each other it was a romance fit for the gods. - Hedda Hopper, "Three Loves That Thrilled the World" (Modern Screen, February 1949)

#i will never be a huge gable fan but since i care about carole (don't you know?) i can only see him through the prism of this relationship #and i don't know any other couple from this era that was so crazy in love but in such a normal healthy domestic way #it's why vivien and what's-his-name do absolutely nothing for me #i don't want pornographic 'love' letters and constant drama and a queen being delulu over a complete dud of a guy who isn't worth her time #i don't get gable's appeal but i think carole knew exactly who he was and she loved him for it anyway #and of course i trust her judgment entirely so yes! i can still get on board with this love story #carole lombard #clark gable #no man of her own #the silver screen #*

#exposing myself as an alenoaheather shipper i think they could all make each other worse /pos #solarium if you see this that post was A Banger #bonus points if neither alejandro nor heather notice that noah's “cheating” on them despite noah not even attempting to hide it #owen: gee noah! how come chris lets you have TWO partners? noah: The Ratings™ (/ref) #heather and alejandro are so caught up in each others' reactions they don't even notice noah raiding their luggage for valuables #(in his mk era) (he's using Boyfriend Privilege for everything it's worth as compensation for dealing with his Two Idiots) #eventually alejandro and heather start genuinely competing for noah's affections because they Can't Be Outdone by the other-- #and also because they might've caught feelings for him too but SHHH 🤫 #noah's autistic rizz bags him two of the most attractive partners on the show despite him looking like a wet paper bag /j #power throuple goals; two overcompetitive conventionally attractive antagonists and their wisecracking cringefail twink #total drama #td alejandro #td heather #td noah #alenoaheather #thoughtless posting #silly ideas #ophe's ranting in the tags again

Flavors of numenoreans (minus the druedain because i still haven't figured out how i want to draw them)

#silm #silmarillion #numenor #numenoreans #idk why mr. edainic is so small sorry #idk if rhunic is the right word for it but rhundrim sounded wrong-er #this would probably be sometime in the late elros era? #i imagine he would encourage a lot of immigration early on to bolster the population #the kingdom literally popped up from the sea and started with what. one city worth of people? #you have to get citizens from somewhere #so a lot of travelers ended up settling down there #plus a few ancient mongolian soldiers who somehow ended up in the union of maedhros (?) #idk if i missed something but i am still unsure how bor and ulfangs people ended up in the general himring area #sorry druedain ill add you when i decide on a design #maybe im just tired but idk who the druedain align with geographically

Rewatched Princess and the Frog today and honestly it feels more like a celebration of Disney's 100 years than Wish. A classic fairy tale respun in interesting ways while still being undeniably Disney? Check. A traditional story with modern twists and a (narratively) strong female protagonist? Check. A return to 2D animation in a time when the medium was dying out? Check. Hell, it even takes place in the same time period (1920s) that Walt Disney released the first animated feature film and started a hundred years of magic. There are multiple references to older Disney movies, from classics like Pinocchio and Sword in the Stone to (then) recent films like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. It features the fucking wishing star! In a more narratively sound manner than Disney's actual 100th year celebration!

And even beyond that, Princess and the Frog feels like it pays tribute to the magic of magic - the power of believing in stories, of having a dream, of working hard to reach your happy ending while never losing sight of what's really important. There is so much effort put into this movie and it shows: the animation is gorgeous, the story is creative and structurally sound, and behind the scenes reveals that the producers put their backs into making sure both the African American aspect and the New Orleans cultural aspect were accurately depicted. It was the first Disney movie in over a decade to return to the Broadway musical format, and they literally had to dust off the abandoned 2D art tools because the company hadn't used them since 2004.

Princess and the Frog was a labor of love through and through, a heartfelt tip of the hat to Disney's legacy while still being its own story. I don't know what could be more celebratory of Walt Disney's dream than that.

#i admittedly haven't seen wish yet so i feel a little hypocritical complaining about it #but i have Not been hearing good things about it and i trust the youtubers on this one #years of cross referencing other people's reviews with my own thoughts has taught me how to sense #when the masses are right and when they're talking shit #and when it comes to wish i think it really is just a corporate-controlled mehburger :/ #anyway please rewatch princess and the frog it is SOOOOOO GOOD #i really couldn't ask for a more perfect movie #might make another post talking about it because it needs way more appreciation that it gets #it's the movie that killed disney's 2d animation era #but it was so worth it just for the movie to exist #princess and the frog #wish 2023 #analysis #sage speaketh

The Birth of Copia

Way back in January, I hurt my right hand and I couldn’t draw - or do much in general without pain - with it. Then a friend’s recommendation got me into Ghost and their music really helped me through a time when I felt quite down and restless as I thought I wouldn’t be able to pursue any of my hobbies for quite some time (which was mostly true). But then I bought tickets to a Re-Imperatour ritual and spent the next two months working on this shirt design with my left hand instead. Needless to say, it tested my patience a lot at times, but my left-handed drawing improved quite a bit and I had a lot of fun, which was something I greatly needed at that time. My right hand is better - although not fully healed yet - and I’m seeing Ghost next week (!!!) and I shall be wearing my self-made shirt. <3

much as i love merlin and arthur they were NOT the blueprint. they were very nearly the blueprint, but the actual og's were from a book written in 1862 by Victor Hugo. that's right. it's enjolras and grantaire. the timeline goes exr-merthur-firstprince

#i'm right #viccy h was doing it before it was a thing #k so enj arthur and henry are all blonde and in a position of power #with a destiny and skill and crushing expectations and incredible loyalty #and socially awkward/clueless (do not tell me arthur is not socially awkward all his friends are just merlin's friends or gwen's brother) #all have a bit of a rivalry with annoying defiant brunette and don't realise how much they love them (exr truther till i die) #the brunettes themselves are annoyed by the blondes and love to antagonise them but end up loving them and dying looking at them (e and a) #R merlin and alex are all snarky bitches with (yet again) a complicated family relationship #a bitchy female best friend (using eponine and morgana for this bc i am an ep and R besties truther) #who know the destiny and how it will end (alex is the only one it turns out for) (r knows they will fail) (merlin knows arthur will die) #but who do everything they can to stay with blonde and prevent the ending (r goes as far as dying with e) #and end up devoting their life to blonde with unfathomable loyalty while also teasing them at every turn #their devotion gets to the point that blonde's life is worth more than their own #merlin #merthur #bbc merlin #red white and royal blue #firstprince #exr #enjoltaire #les miserables #but arthur and merlin are SO exr coded #none of this heartstopper-merlin-firstprince bullshit #heartstopper is the same time pretty much as firstprince and dont even act like the rest of them #they can't JUST be blonde and brunette they need the vibes to go along with it #victorian era- 2000's medieval- modern

The main villains of the Marauders universe, according to me:

Lord Voldemort

Albus Dumbledore

Peter Pettigrew

Barty Crouch Jr.

Severus Snape

#i almost didnt rank snape #but then i couldn't not #he's below crouch because there's at least an attempt at heroism #it fails but an attempt is worth something #marauders #marauders era #dead gay wizards #albus dumbledore #tom marvolo riddle #lord voldemort #harry potter #barty crouch junior #barty crouch jr #peter pettigrew #im not tagging that last one #but the incel apologists will probably find it anyway #sirius black and remus lupin would never forgive me if i didn't include snapr #so we can't have that
