A huge problem with antizionist activists at the moment is that so many of them are just absolutely itching to see more violence. They don’t want to stop the violence. They don’t call for a ceasefire and peace anymore. Instead they call for Israelis/Jewish people to be ethnically cleansed from the region instead of Palestinians. Like they literally just think the “wrong people” are being murdered right now. They’re a bunch of western spectators with nothing on the line agitating for more violence in a region thousands of miles away so they can root for their “team.” It’s a game to so many of these people, and a game they want to end in even more violence than has already been perpetrated by the Israeli government and Hamas.

#like call me crazy but i think ethnic cleansing/genocide is Bad no matter what group of ppl you’re doing it to #ultimately everyone needs to realize the only way forward is peaceful coexistence with equal rights and freedom of movement #because neither the israelis nor the palestinians are going anywhere nor should they have to #i/p #miri’s thoughts #i’m just. tired #antisemitism #i think the world could benefit from having LESS violence actually #anyways i left twitter so i wouldn’t have to keep being subjected to antisemitism/being expected to comment on this issue 24/7 #so i’m not really going to talk about it here very much #but i wanted/needed to get this off my chest

moving on...

...is tough.

if you're struggling with moving on, it's normal and human. don't beat yourself up for it.

it's important to move ahead from something that's not working but you can still be kind to yourself in the process ✨

It may be silly to get excited over like 2 seconds of animation in a 6 second clip, but IDC I cannot believe I got spy to shake out his cigarette that smoothly and it was actually fun to do. Funner than it usually is. I can't believe I ever forsook you Graph Editor, I used to be so barbaric. Like he actually followed the keyframes I put instead of doing his own thing and dismembering himself into thin pieces without me having to wrangle him. Actual pose-to-pose and not solely relying on the mental images blasted into my eyelids is FIRE

I used to only love lipsync a lot but now I kind of want to animate a lot of movement!! But I can't most of the plan is to have spy and sniper looking angstily at each other over the bassline, oh the horrors! Whatever it's fine, until I have to do lighting which will be the true horror

#i'm going to keep the 2 fps cigarette falling cause i think it looks cool B] #also maybe spy's foot too idk i actually love the choppy movements but it also looks nice splined #sfm #tf2 spy #tf2 sniper #sniperspy #wip #rambles #myart #I am NOT looking forward to lighting an outdoor scene #it would be so easy if my laptop could run volumentrics but no I gotta make my own budget version #I'm totally not focusing on this because the next scene is one where i have to animate fingers #fingers grabbing shit and throwing it no sir #also poker cards hahah AAAA #tf2

been thinking about the liyue gang and how id draw their physical builds so here are some thoughts i had for xy cy and gm in particular

- xingqiu, unsurprisingly, would be quite lanky. i like to think he has broad-ish shoulders, like a thin athlete's build? hes a long boy to me haha, long face, neck, limbs, fingers etc, so naturally hes stands (comparatively) tall at 5'6" or 5'7"

i like to think hes most physically attractive one and has that handsome princely and boyish charm to him because it adds a lot to his fuckass duality LOL

- chongyun is a lot like xiao imo! short stature but with muscular arms. he seems nimble and flexible because of his normal attack animations (which bears a lot of similarities to xiao's actually! this + the fact that chongyun's normal attacks create gusts of wind further reinforces my hc that xiao trains him). sometimes i watch high energy choreography vids on youtube and some dancers look incredibly light on their feet, almost like their body is inherently bouncy? and i imagine chongyun to have that agility to him. chongyun has a delicate face and aura and i let that bleed into my hcs for his fighting style and physical capabilities hahaha. hes kind of like a cat who's deceptively strong. as for height.. just a few inches taller than xiao, so perceptibly short at 5'4"

- ga ming my new beloved. pretty much similar to chongyun but more muscular and stronger just because he wields his claymore with ease. theres a noticeable weight different between cy and his claymore the way he lugs it up after he swings (or even other claymore users like razor who, on his last hit, bounces from impact). meanwhile ga ming literally slams his to the ground LOL. i love his movements though hes very swift and expressive and radiant.. if cy has delicate movements then ga ming's is fierce and (charmingly!) assertive

ga ming is wonderfully charismatic though, i know hes not well known in liyue harbor yet, but he seems like the type to gain a reputation from his friendliness. how could no one adore him hahaha. 5'5" for height! just between xy and xq

#tangy talks genshin #chongyun gets analyzed most my bad #this was super fun though #while thoughtful ; genshin chara designs will always look distinctly gacha and flashy so a lot of the designs kinda blur together in my hea #this is why i really like looking into their animations particuarly their normal attacks #i think it conveys their personalities really well! it's always something to look forward to when new characters release #i gravitate towards swords polearms and claymores most though because i like the act of swinging and slashing hah. it also requires a lot o #body movement and reflects a lot of irl martial arts fencing and other combat techniques #sword users are always really fun to watch because theyre inherently graceful hahah. i will admit it gets kinda repetitive #i think my favorite NA animation has to be albedo's.. very simple clean and refined. he stands elegantly and puts his arm behind his back o #his 2nd attack which ive been transfixed by since be first came out in 2020 LOL. i love albebo #wow these tags are long as hell #but anyway i actually have more thoughts on xq's physical appearance but its just me rambling about how i think hes funny as fuck #im a proponent of dashingly pretty princely xingqiu not necessarily because i want to bestow upon him desirable traits #but because i think its funny knowing hes just a bit of a loser under all that #hes well known (mr worldwide one might say) and the heir to a prestigious guild and chivalrous talented and prolific #but he writes self insert novels hates carrots had bad handwriting sings really bad #hes just a teenage boy #as always i will 100% have more to say about chongyun but ill save that for another post #ga ming on the other hand.. i dont have anything substantial to say but hes super fun to think about #hes such a likable character #wow these tags are LONG as fuck ill stop now.

Some Destiny 2 post-Lightfall thoughts, minimal spoilers:

I don't think we're supposed to be satisfied with how the campaign ended. We're supposed to look at our victory and have it immediately become a massive, stunning loss: the Witness set a trap, distracted us, and let events proceed in its advantage.

We lost. And it's not okay.

We have the slimmest, tiniest threads of leads into how we can follow the Witness: trawling the Vex Network for the oldest data caches about Neomuna's founding, discovering Nezarec looming in that cyberdomain (and, perhaps, in the upcoming raid); mastering Strand and exploring its connection to the Neomuni; and whatever Mara has up her sleeve as she aids us in holding off the Shadow Legion in the EDZ.

LF tells us about 'flowing with the river' - as a means to master Strand, as a means of letting go of pain and grief and anger (epitomized in the campaign with Osiris, grieving and desperate to prove he can still be Thee Osiris, and later in Nimbus as they grieve Rohan's sacrifice). Maybe for us Guardians it's something to think about, to take that loss and keep going without becoming those same desperate angry beasts.

But it's not an immediate thing for those having difficulty with the story. I'm one of them; two days after finishing Calus part of me is still wondering 'how does this keep going? Where is the hope?' Sure we have our allies: the Vanguard, Caiatl, Mara, Misraaks, and perhaps one day Savathun. But what's missing in this week before the raid is the direction to go. WQ gave us Rhulk and the reminder that we will face his like again; that gave us the stepping-off point for the rest of the year.

We all know by now that, ultimately, Destiny is a story of hope against overwhelming odds: people choosing, over and over again, to be better, to reach out to others, and to help each other overcome what seems to be the impossible. This week, it's hard to see the hope. We know it's coming, whether we want to admit it or not. It's easy to be scathing if you look at the story as only the campaign's arc; it's harder knowing there's yet more to come.

So we open our palms instead of closing our fists.

#destiny 2 #destiny 2 lightfall #this is more my processing the ending and it's STILL rough #hopefully the raid will get some of that sweet sweet movement i'm looking forward to

"Bring 'em to justice!"

Love the willbender animations, even though they're really hard to screenshot :')

#I've been thinking about Arengar as a willbender a lot lately tbh #all the movement and jumping and rushing forward #I blame spiderverse tbh I'm still not over that movie and the way Miguel was animated in particular #that's definitely how I imagine Arengar moving as a willbender: a sleek and powerful wild beast #also reminds me of the time I did Joko fight on Arengar as a willbender #and it was very appropriate to chase him around and teleport to him while yelling FACE THE CONSEQUENCES or JUSTICE PREVAILS #gw2 #guild wars 2 #charr #Arengar Hopebringer

figuring out what animals minecraft streamers are like that girl in the elmo tiktok and getting more and more scared as i realize that all of them have eyes on the front of their heads and therefore are likely beasts of prey and capable of hunting and killing.

#his eyes are on the front of his head which means. he. he hunts for his prey. um. *flips notes* he is covered in moss to. camoflauge #um. moving on. this guys antenna suggest he needs to sense movements in the air or water. combined with his large eyes this suggests he #is a deep sea creature. note the eyes on the front of his head which. ohhhhh no. suggest he hunts for his food #um THIS GUY note the visible nose. unusual in minecrafters which suggests he has a strong sense of smell. forward facing eyes which. oh go #'op all humans have forward facing eyes' yeah but blockppl arent human. #the litle block guys are like animals to me. creatures even

FINALLY, actual proof. I have found what the difference is between jet propulsion and jet-stepping.

Jet Propulsion [ID: Picture of Azula propelling in an upward motion on a sustained jet of blue flames]

Jet-Stepping [ID: Picture of Azula propelling herself on blue flames with the movements of someone seen running forward]

I always wondered why Azula was using actual running movements or in this case stepping movements when she propelled herself at Zuko in The Last Agni-Kai. Well now we can say she was jet-stepping before moving into a sustained usage of jet propulsion.

#I wish I could have found a good gif of azula from the last agni-kai showing actual jet-stepping and not just propelling herself forward #but it's good to know that you can tell the difference by looking and seeing if the firebender is making movement with their legs #azula #firebending meta #atla #avatar: the last airbender #my stuff

Okay I am still pretty knew to the hanfu community but I want to know: are Hanfu season specific like kimono are? Like would it look strange to wear hanfu with spring flowers on it in fall? I've looked for information on google but I don't find the right information. Obviously kimono is influenced by Hanfu but that seasonal thing could easily be something Japanese specific.

#hanfu #hanfu movement #chinese hanfu #if im honest its for a fic #a Chinese character with ties to Japan wears a kimono and comments that its a spring kimono #i need to know if the person spoken to assumes its a weird fashion forward trend they are following #or would he know what spring styles look like and be confused by that

also it really is shit how several popular bloggers were like. Horribly bigoted towards ace people when it was cool, but once it stopped being trendy they 1) deleted those posts so receipts couldn't be pulled 2) maybe put up claimed "redactions" or said "omg its been years if you really wanna know wether i still hate those people dm me" but never apologized for their behavior lmao. I don't think any of the people who did that actually changed, I just think they know it's not such an acceptable/fun target to bully anymore. It's really sick how that type of bullying was encouraged for years and how few people repented for their behavior.

#cipher talk #H*stlerose and lgbt*nis in particular come to mind #x***guiw*ng too tbh #They did a weird heel turn of being normal about ace people to insinuating most ace people are homophobic and self centered #And that believing a society which strictly controls your sex life doesn't like you not having sex and may punish you is a 'white thing' #As though the pressures around sex are not MORE strongly felt by PoC #I don't wanna say 'imagine if there was a mass movement of people who said they hated gay men and homophobia wasn't real and they never #Apologized or faced consequences' bc I know that exists. It's on Twitter and it's why I'm cagey around how people on tumblr say f*g #(I do mean like other lgbtq people tbc) #But like it's ridiculously fucked up that it happened. That people allowed it. That most people have forgotten about it either bc #They were targeted or bc they did the targeting #Remember when a real human being who had recently come out as ace was murdered for rejecting a man and people turned her into a fucking #Discourse topic? And posted decapitation photos claiming they were of her in tags about ace people/spread rumors about that? #I do. I fucking do. #Remember all the discussions about how 'denying your partner sex' was abuse? How ace people were p*dos for forcing discussions of sexuality #Onto kids? How wanting non alcoholic non sex forward spaces- something ND people and addicts also discussed- became a fucking crime? #Because ace people also thought it was cool? #Like g-d I know this was painful and I'm not saying we should do discourse again but forgetting all that isn't helpful either
