#i wanna be a good example for her

[watermelinoe]

my niece once got upset w my dad bc he wouldn't buy her some overpriced drunk elephant skincare product. she was freaked out about getting wrinkles. at age eight. i wish her mom had never bought her that damn smartphone

#idk if my brother is dad of the year or anything but he didn't want her to have the smartphone so points for that #her mom bought it so she could track my niece whenever she's with her dad (my brother) and text her constantly #and considering she's so petty that she made my niece leave an easter gathering with a terminal family member early it's like #i'm sure she has her side of it and my brother was probably a dick somehow but girl you're punishing an eight year old about it #and i really don't think shit like ''ice age is for boys (so i won't watch it)'' came from my brother #i'm sure i'm biased bc it's my brother but genuinely i think she bought my niece that phone to spite him #and now she's just glued to it bc that's what smartphones are designed to do !!!! #you would really fuck up your own kid's attention span and self esteem just to get back at your ex??? #and this isn't even the worst parenting move on her part but luckily that guy died and can't be around my niece anymore ever <3 #but i just worry about her. since i moved away i don't really get to see her. #and not to be narcissistic but i feel like it's good for her to see women w short hair no makeup comfy clothes etc. #i wanna be a good example for her #i told her she should just worry about washing with soap wearing sunscreen and drinking lots of water #i just can't relate at all. at her age all my friends were boys and i was into dinosaurs and pokemon and werewolves #a lot of girls... didn't really like me 😔 i remember being upset bc one girl called me a tomboy #anyway if u read all this. secret radioactive kiss just for u. mwah 💚

Appreciation post for 'girly girl' characters and/or shows that celebrate traditionally feminine things that girls and women are shamed for.

Characters on this list that love makeup, fashion, hair, etc. Characters that are still written as strong, intelligent, brave, etc. That told young girls that these interests are valid, they are not lesser interests. Being feminine and liking traditionally feminine things does not make them weak.

#I'm so glad I got to grow up with these girls #I was originally gonna make a post of Barbie Daphne and Stella and be like. They remind me so much of each other #And how much I love characters like them #Because I do #But then I was like fuck it let's just make a post for all the girly girls because they're so good #So here we are. In a world of misogyny. We still have them. And I am so greatful #I'm sad I missed out on celebrating my femininity and stuff like this in my teen years because of just. Stuff I was going through #But I'm glad I'm doing it now. I've been getting into makeup for the past year. Mostly eye it's so fun #The Barbie movie. Dressing up for it. Being proud makeup and skirts and dressing up like I did as a girl. God it was so wonderful #I've not felt this connected to this part of myself in years. It has helped to much #It reminded me of my love for Barbie. The movies. The fairies and mairmaids. The bright colours and fashions #And my love for all of these shows. The outfits and designs I fell in love with. The friendships and sisterhoods in all of them. #Yes it's just Rarity. I know some of the others girls also fit. But some don't as much so I didn't wanna just put a group one #And I know Kim and some others aren't as girly as others. But she's still a good example. #Her and Monique's shopping trip and other stuff is engraved into my mind. I actually think about them a lot I love them #Daphne was also a masisve awakening for me. I had such a crush on her. And the Hex Girls. #If you're wondering why other shows aren't on here. Like Trollz or Powerpuff Girls or something. It's msotly based on what I watched #And I didn't really watch them I'm sorry but feel free to add more. #We're ignoring how I mispelled mermaids. I'm not going back to change that tag. #Anyway I love women basically. We're awesome. #Barbie #Scooby Doo #Bratz #Monster High #Kim Possible #My Little Pony #Winx #Mew Mew Power

jack coming back, showing pics of the crime scene to will AND molly, pressuring him to come back and molly telling him that she would be satisfied knowing he did the right thing and that he should go and Will actually going made me actually shed a tear.

#at the scene where he started to act as dolarhyde and kill the family #specifically during shooting the kids #THAT made me lose it #i get justice #everybody wants justice #especially if it means saving families #but jack tell me why are u coming back to an agent that u wouldn't even give the title of an agent to cuz he was too unstable for the field #and got mentally destroyed by this job and so he quit and doesn't wanna come fucking back #after 3 years of trying to rebuild his life and regain normality and happiness (at least what he thought would give him happiness). #all thrown out the fucking window #GO HIRE MORE PEOPLE THAT U WILL GIVE MORE RESPECT TO INSTEAD FFS #THERES A LOT OF PASSIONATE PPL THAT WILL HELP SOLVE THE CRIMES #WILL ISNT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD #MARIAM FOR EXAMPLE EXISTS HOW COME HE LEFT HER ALONE or at least thats what was implied #anyway<3 #as much as will wasn't truly happy so technically it was for the good to yk return to hannibal someone he felt truly understood by #and complete with #still. seeing him give up that carefully crafted (although full of lies) life that he thought would make him happy was SO heartbreaking #but perhaps he wanted to do it and needed the push? #ok rant over #nbc hannibal #will graham #text post #my post

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians

#i say lesbians but i guess i mean sapphic #im just like. tired of gnawing #and of men also. sorry men in my life i love you but on god if i have to pretend one more man is butch just to get #content that isnt m/m or m/f im going to turn into a horse and run into the wilderness until im saved from the glue factory by a plucky #young woman except instead of letting her have her formative summer where she trains me and bonds w me and wins a competition w me #im going to commit horse suicide in front of her & change her life forever. just because im so tired of bland CW-marketable women kissing & #digging for scraps in a refuse bin while brushing aside 7002993829292929939292929399394 gay and het romances #m text #i will also take nonfictional lesbians if its like a story #not to be whiny on main but one of the hardest hurdles i had to jump wasnt realizing i was a lesbian. i came out to myself and to friends a #lesbian multiple times. but i would always walk it back when a friend would express doubt or a male friend would ask me out #bc i dont and especially then didnt know very many lesbians in person. and so i had to turn to examples #and all i fucking had were fictional women who liked men. or fictional lesbians who were so cleaned and sanitized and prettified #(you all know what i mean right. the 2 skinny white girls one blonde one brunette. im not crazy right) #and i would be like. i dont feel things when i look at these fictional lesbians so i guess i belong back here #(this is also bc my gender ended up being fuckier than i realized but shhhhh) #I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THESE TAGS but theyre too long and im lost. #anyway the point is if people werent so fucking weird abt fictional or onscreen lesbians maybe thered be a lot more people comfortable bein #out as lesbian #like sorry but this awful ouroboros of 'all lesbians onscreen have to be cute and sanitized' meaning that people write and believe wlw has #to be cute and pure and sanitized (OR a 'badge of honor' bc good for u u doodled two women together or had it as a background in ur fic) #meaning that therefore all portrayals of lesbianism continue to be like this. is just #and im also gonna be honest theres probably a lot of good sapphic media im just in the wrong circles to have stumbled into lol. so #yknow. personal viewer bias here #but i still like swing wildly between overly brandishing my dykeness as a badge to feel like im proving im lesbian #and like. backing up under a blanket bc i dont wanna be weird or annoying or freak people out #but if people just Saw Normal Ass Lesbians. aough. #im going to watch revolutionary girl utena one of these days even if i struggled w the writing style the first few episodes #I JUST WANNA SEE AN OLD BUTCH ONSCREEN GET SOME PUSSY. #like it also doesnt help im mostly femme4butch so seeing 2 femmes on screen is like. okay cool so what. but only femmes are 'marketable'

Randomly remembered all those times someone on a forum or wherever would ask, like, "if your comic was ever turned into a movie or a tv-show, what would you want it to be like", and I was always spewing something about obvious answers like Fortiche or whatever

BUT ACTUALLY. That's wrong.

The correct answer is that I would want it to be filmed as one of those film-student-project fan movies. Where no one has any money and their camera isn't stabilized and the 'sets' are all local buildings but everyone is very committed to making it work with what they have. And all the actors are friends or classmates or someone's parents and therefore look especially real and human.

#wanna see some film student whose drive hasn't yet been muted by the industry choreograph some insane fighting #if it looks campy and the blood is obviously fake but the energy is kept 100% then nothing can be better #and I'm not talking polished cosplay music videos with wigs and perfect outfit replicas no-no #get the essence of the characters and if they don't look like they do on pages then that's GOOD #get an actual butch femme couple in their thirties for Jo and Leah #whom you met at a local queer bar and they were down to help you with the film #get the scrawniest most chaotic girl for Lyoka and who cares if her eyebrows are bushy don't fucking pluck or draw them #'cause she as a character sure doesn't (just lacks in that area) and that's her human characteristic #which is more important than the consistency with the picture #get a black girl with glasses to play Nia and just let her straight up keep her own glasses instead of looking for a round frame #Life is Strange's fan films What If and Dawn are honestly my main examples of what I generally mean #pof posting

rewatched the darkest minds movie and rereading the book and i think that

a) movie still sucks but

b) i don't think they ever could have made a faithful and interesting movie bc so much of what makes the book and ruby compelling is her internal dialogue and her mental development and it's just so hard to translate to the screen in any way

(though the movie didn't seem to care abt giving ruby any development at all, even if they had tried it wouldn't have hit as hard as the book imo)

#its giving katniss syndrome #two whole ass paragraphs of character analysis is jennifer lawrence staring at the camera and we're supposed to get it? #i LOVE ruby and her thoughts i love her i'm enjoying this book and its vibe so much #im only at the first one rn (my favorite) #haven't read it in years #and i cannot stress this enough they did ruby so dirty in the movie #in the books she hates her powers!!!!! she hates herself!!! she thinks she's a monster!!!! in the movie she doesn't give a fuck #there's my 2 cents #the darkest minds #tdm #rethinking about back in the days when we wanted every single book ever to get adapted #but like some stories just correspond better to a certain medium and don't translate well to another #like a part of it is wanting the piece to receive the attention it deserves #but like not everything would be good on the screen #i mean im not against adaptations i just think some will inevitably suck or be unfaithful #don't know whats going on with the raven cycle for example but i think if they wanna do something good they are on thin fcking ice #the vibes are so strong with that one it would be easy to mess up #anyway

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is wanting to complain about not getting to see much of a favourite celebrity in a TV series after a certain point until the new season next year, but not wanting people to think that means you have a crush on them. Alternatively, aro culture is wanting to gush about celebrities you like without people automatically assuming it's a crush.

.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod phoenix #the only way i'd assume it's attraction is like. if it's pretty hard to see it as anything else #ie an old 'straight' friend who was known to go on half-hour long rants about how much he liked chris... uh. the thor one. his abs. #at which point we were like uh. hey kyle. you... got something you wanna talk to us about? #unfortunately he was v much convinced he was straight and homophobic despite this being one of like. so many examples of us being like... #bro you're the only straight cis one in your main friend group and you're a band kid with drama kid gfs #this does not give us the impression of a straight man kyle. #he was a weird type of homophobic tho #he was like? perfectly fine with people around him being gay and trans and was pretty chill about respecting identities #like shockingly good about respecting pronouns including situational stuff for safety #for someone who on more than one occasion talked about how he thought gay couples shouldn't be able to adopt and shit like that #from what i last heard though i think he got engaged to the last gf of his i knew from high school #and i knew her well enough that i assume he had to have improved as a person if she's willing to have married him #... i cannot stay on topic lol

[vioisgoinginsane]

If anyone calls silvio's emma bitchy i am gonna trow hands. She's getting abused, hummiliated and objectified, of course she's angry and going feral over it.

And she's still more composed and civilized than I'd be in that situation.

And then she ends up with the guy that did all that to her??????She deserves better.

#if you're ever gonna try to write a 'romance' with terrible people in it #which i don't think could ever even be called romance just drama #it's one thing to put two people can understand the worst of each other together and just observe what happens like it's animal planet #it's another thing to take a good person like emma and then put her through this shit #a certain shitty jangling dog #oh and of course we're talking about fiction here not real people #there is worth to depicting a story about terrible people making themselves worse as a bad example #if it's written to make you think 'i don't wanna be like that'

[miscellaneous--bones]

some basic stuff for gal's wardrobe. i tend to think that because of how the legs move three piece clothing is the easiest and most comfortable to put on and otherwise move in. i think the hardest part is figuring out what she would have style wise and what shed be able to get tailored vs what shed have scrounged. other than hoodies and tshirts pretty much everything has to be tailored, unfortunatly.

#i feel like half her wardrobe is stuff she likes to wear out bc its her style (more comfort or grunge focused shit) #and then at least a good 3rd is experimental shit she or one of her friends made for her to see if it would work #and then the last bit is just for specific occassions #i figure with hextupods the concept of ''nudity'' is very individual based. gal feels pretty ok w/o clothes all together if shes #with other sextupods and sometimes the turtles but especially around humans and such for example she might start feeling kinda naked #otherwise its more so if shes like only wearing shoes is weird those should be worn with clothes #or like ONLY a middle peice then shes like i wanna at least cover my butt #etc #its situational #adelaid on the other hand only wears clothes if its for practicality like if its cold or she needs shoes for certain terrain #i think other than like. slippers or some socks shes only got the three pairs of shoes i drew here but she deffinetly have some more #shirts n shit #so yk #hextupod #oc #art #doodles #Galileo #spec bio

[itzrayla]

It would be so awesome if I talked all about my OCs and you all got attached to them and they became something people frequently sent asks about n stuff (I don't know what to say about said OCs)

#Girls who want frequent and constant attention in the exact way she wants said attention #Girl who are also insecure about how good her creations are and the constant feeling of not getting enough attention #If you couldn't tell- I'm girls in both of these examples #I'm not gonna think more about it so I don't get temporarily more insecure #Also like IDK how long the cooldown is but don't send a load of asks RN unless I do talk about OCs or something because. I 'unno #I want attention for the things I do/make rather than for just existing (or at least RN I don't want attention for just existing) #I haven't shown any of the stuff I made that I wanna show (RN it's OCs) so there's nothing to give me attention and stuff for I feel

[hecksupremechips]

I’m about to sound like the worlds biggest idiot but I need to say it anyways. It absolutely baffles me that the majority of the persona fanbase only cares about the "waifus" and not like the actual plot or characters

#persona #saying this aloud is so stupid its like the persona fanbase is a bunch of douchey straight guys of course thats what they care about #its like going to a bbq and then being appalled that people are eating meat #YET HERE I AM #i mean eh i dont think this is like a big tumblr problem since all the gay fans are here but elsewhere #like they act like the only point of the games is getting a gf #and no one judges the female characters based on anything but how big of a ‘waifu’ they are #like the romance part of the game has so much emphasis and its not even good im sorry #you get like 5 maximum moments with a female character where her entire personality is reduced to BLUSH #and thats it #though i guess thats all you need when youre a piece of shit persona fan #still its just weird to me like bitch if you wanna romance people just play a fucking dating sim itll be better #like if i say i like ann for example some dumbass will be like ‘SHES NOT EVEN A GOOD WAIFU YOU HAVE BAD TASTE’ #bitch you know you can like. enjoy a female character without wanting to fuck her right #what did i expect though 😞 #its absurd behavior regardless

thinking about ep 35 again because i rewatched it for natsumi's birthday and i find it interesting that kururu goes out of his way to defy keroro's orders to try to find out what gift natsumi would like. that's so awfully nice actually, in a fun chaos inducing way which is exactly his style

#i love that in the end they all gave her gifts that r basically stuff they themselves like. but they tried. there was an attempt #ep 35 #kururu #LIKE AT LEAST HE ASKED. kinda crazy #also when rewatching that episode i kinda spoiled myself for 87 bc now im certain whats happening there is theyre pulling kero's plan on him #i deliberately avoided watching the ending of that ep bc i wanted to be surprised but ya there is no doubt in my mind theyre doing that lol #which in its own way is flattering for him bc like hey good plan. ykno #and still good angst for me. i win. get ignored on ur birthday bitch (deeply affectionate) #it's a surprise i think... i BELIEVE...? well theres an inkling of wondering so i guess im not spoiled just YET. and don't you dare spoil me #i will watch it and find out for myself when i wanna do it. probably tomorrow for his birthday anyway #i did watch his freakout moment WITHOUT SOUND as a way to like. sneak peek 💁 it was so good (sad) amazing #maybe one of the best examples that he shows his sadness thru anger anyway. thats what his meltdowns are... + other stuff #oh boy here i go talking abt keroro again... THIS POST WAS ABT KURURU! sorry for brainrotting

I only imported this bit from the really old height lineup to get corker's size accurate but I'm really pleased with how consistent I've been able to keep her overall sizing proportions over time :D

#and I've gotten much better at not giving her weirdly proportioned gorilla arms thank god #I was thinking about sketching some updated wardrobe thoughts (if not a new outfit then AT LEAST working in the belt of dwarvenkind) #but now I kinda wanna do a proper ref sheet for her... #new scar map and some of her important items and good luck charms AND full wardrobe #also [cough] since aubree is my OC most often drawn by someone else it's always a good time to reestablish what her body type actually is #and for example how sharply defined her abs and biceps are (none) #AAANYWAY I wanted to think about her wardrobing again cause I told my friend I was getting a LARP Corker #and her response was REN FAIRE DRESS UP??? DO I NEED MY HUSBAND TO MAKE MY SPOOKY SWORD??? SEWING NIGHT????? #and YEAH! YES DUDE!!! FUCK YEAH!!! #but also aubree's current ensemble isn't very Medieval Fantasy fdkjhgkdjf it's VERY hobbitcore #which is fine for HER but 'an ordinary vest' doesn't feel especially ren-faireish as actual dressup you know? #we've gone shopping since the start of the campaign there's room for tweaking #about me #my art #my OCs #aubree

more weird girl patricia in fics please. she’s so insane and fun and she thrives in chaos and loves causing problems and fixing them by either running away or telling surprisingly good lies and I love her so so much

#like you know how much I loveeee angst #but I feel like everyone is always desperate to write her as scared and secretly affectionate and whatever #which like is all good you do you I love exploring stuff like that #but like I love that she’s a female character that’s unhinged in a way that’s usually reserved for male character & I wanna enjoy that more #like the whole mr sweet thing coz I honestly think she holds more of a grievance about being told off in class #and being forced to hear latin than like being lied #to #like idk I adore angst and she’s so fun to explore through that and I’m never gonna stop and neither should anyone else #but like she’s a fucking nutter who operates seemingly on a randomiser half the time and she deserves more credit for it #one of my fave examples of weird girl patricia is in tess’ fic of her meeting fabian when she dangles from a tree and screams at the sky #it’s so her #idk if what I mean is coming across well but idk #also if anyone ever writes stuff relating to jerome’s line about her disappearing a lot of attention in s1 pleaseeee hmu #house of anubis #hoa #txt

[jonny-b-meowborn]

Had a dream where I was living in some somewhat fantasy setting, kind of like Fablehaven where in the modern world there's magical creatures n witches n shit. I don't remember much of the beginning of that dream, but I think I was at my home when I learned that some evil witch queen is coming and she's going to kill one girl I knew, that I think was a princess but I don't remember if they were related or like, from different kingdoms or whatever. The queen wants her dead so bad she'd kill anyone that tries to protect her. So, of course, I decided to protect the princess, who was during the entire dream completely unaware of what's happening, I'm not sure if she was even conscious, like, she was in some catatonic state. I took the princess to my place, thinking that the queen definitely won't know she's with some random human guy. So the next thing I know the queen invades my home. She was moving around in like this vehicle that looked like a locomotive but with spider legs so it could move anywhere, and the front of it looked like her face, but it was all looking very futuristic or like some mech. And she was followed by an army of either people in futuristic armor or straight up robots. Weirdly enough she didn't kill anyone at my home, though she did drive her spider train through my home's wall. I managed to escape with the princess using some secret tunnels underground. Eventually after running away for super long and events that I unfortunately don't remember, I ended up in some castle ruins with the princess. The queen found me there, but the weird thing was that she wasn't really threatening. I mean she looked scary, her royal gown and crown also had this metallic elements like robot armor or smth, she looked really cool actually, but in a very scary way. But she was kind, and kind of desperate. When she found us in the ruins, she came there alone in her train, and left the vehicle behind her as she approached us. I have this very clear image of me curled up around the princess, protecting her with my body, in some corner, and the queen reaching her hand to me and begging to give her the princess. When I didn't, she summoned some guy to fight me, n it felt very much like I was inside a video game. I had to simultaneously fight the guy off and keep the princess safe from the queen, but at this point I was wondering what even is the deal with them. I've heard the queen was a relentless killer, but she seemed more like a desperate mother whose child was stolen. I never found out what the truth was, though. After I killed the guy she summoned the queen came to me like she wanted to hug me, but I was still too scared of her and didn't let her. I didn't see the princess again, I don't know what happened with her. The queen seemed like she wants to take me with her for whatever reason, but again, I was too afraid and confused and lost. And I woke up so idk what was her deal, but she seemed like such an interesting character. I may adopt her as a new OC and develop her story so that it makes sense

#btw the dearh scene was so fucked up #like a common thing in my dreams is that sometimes theres just an unexpectedly gruesome scene #so the guy chased me around and i wasnt no fighter or knight so i dodnt know what to do #he chased me up to the top of some tower #and then i maneged to pin him to the balustrade #tried punching him a few times but he was unbothered #so i pushed him over #and i saw him splatter on the ground. like so much blood. like a balloon #i was quite shaken after that so the queen trying to embrace me was even more confusing #good dream #homestly dreams with like a big adventure that feel like a movie or a game are my favorite #and i love talking about my dreams lol #i really wanna draw the queen now #she had a lot of like robotic elements but also spider elements #and like. a weirdly insect-robot-like queen moving around in an insect-robog-like locomotive with her face on it. so iconic #she felt very tragic even though i never found out why she wants to get to the princess so bad #oh also. i felt very animalistic in the dream. which is a good thing i love it when my dreams make me more animal-like #for example at the beginning when i was at home before the queen invaded us i was with i think some friends #and one was just scratching my back while reading a book and i felt like a kitty being pet #and when i was escaping and protecting the princess it felt very much like instinct #like i was her loyal dog #good stuff i love that #bee buzz
