i wish i had the money and power to directly make improvements to society right this second, but i do not. not yet at least. in college right now, so im slowly getting closer to (hopefully) helping to make the world a better place directly.

#and i understand i can make the world a better place with smaller actions #or indirectly like mailing politicians and trying to get them to do stuff #but it would be so so great if i could directly change things #lgbt #lgbt issues #societal issues #societal progress #so many tags #that i could add but tag overload yknow #queue #caves rants

The Unending Battle Within: Exploring the Persistence of Internal Struggles

In the depths of our souls, the battle rages on. It is a war fought silently, concealed behind masks of normalcy and the facade of peace. We may have declared an end to the world wars that ravaged nations and tore lives apart, but within us, a different kind of conflict persists, unyielding and relentless. Greed, that insidious beast, lurks in the shadows of our desires. It whispers in our ears,…

The Tipping Point: Politicians, Role Models, and Our Collective Responsibility

In the heart of American society, our politicians stand as influential figures whose actions and decisions shape the nation. The roles they play, both in the chambers of Congress and on our television screens, have significant repercussions for our everyday lives. However, as our world becomes increasingly polarized, the standard set by our politicians seems to be slipping. There is a pressing…

Hey there! Are there any other beasts in slug city or is it just the orchid and electric ones?

there are other beasts !! Smooks has one, it's made of paint! Best seen in this image

Delta and Oster and Co. have them too, Delta's is a round-ish beast with many leg and eyes surrounding its entire body with waterfall-like tears. Oster and Co's is one with multiple heads, each representing one of the "main" alters. I would like to heavily rework these both design-wise and concept-wise. Here's old art of them!

#slug city #delta #asks #my art #my ocs #oster #thank you for asking!! #I like the concept of delta's I would just like to redesign it #I like the concept of oster and co's too but I would need to figure out if its. iffy. in terms of depiction of plurality #obviously the beasts are not supposed to literally represent '''the illness''' that each character with a beast has #it IS a manifestation of their problems and issues And societal stigma #which I gotta find out how to make that clearer in the story progression or find a better metaphorical concept for them

Calling out specific fandoms is not the move

The people who play so-and-so game also watch so-and-so show and support so-and-so streamer. Everyone hops interest to interest and their attitudes and biases follow. The borders of online communities and tags and forums are imaginary.

There is no one group to blame, there is no gas leak source, there's no villain, its everywhere, its societal, not a unique symptom of one sub-culture over another like please dude cmon.

#I can think of one fandom that truly sent me to outerspace but nothing that happened was /unique/ ykwim #if all fans have the same experiences in every circle thats societal babe that is a mirror to the state of us as a whole #appreciation weeks and reblogging for awareness arent solutions please engage your friends & have a dialogue; thats progress fr #thats the real tea i fear (to me)

please never call azure lion a twitter liberal ever again

he’d genuinely believe canceling people counts as activism and you know it

#ask!! #anon ask!! #my reasoning is: he’s not wrong about there being a need for societal change #BUT he has no real plan for how to accomplish it #and upon gaining the power to do so #he immediately makes things worse #doesn’t make any real progress #and mostly uses his power to settle personal grudges #does that sound like any online subcultures we know of

I'm so sorry

But in the alternate timeline where Bruce dies in the alley, Martha becomes the joker and Thomas becomes Batman... what if the joker-ication process of Martha is a slow thing. They all mourn the loss of Bruce in their own ways while blaming themselves. Alfred blaming himself for not being there to fight the dude off before anything happens to anyone. Thomas blaming himself for taking Bruce to the theatre. Martha blaming herself for suggesting a nice walk home.

Overtime Martha gets more confrontational towards the two, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT FOR TAKING US TO THE STUPID SHOW! YOU LAZED ABOUT WHILE MY BABY WAS DYING!"

The words getting more harsh until Alfred confronts her in the kitchen saying it's no one's fault and they should work on comforting each other instead of tearing each other apart.

Martha laughs and slowly the laugh gets more psychotic before she takes the knife she was using and stabs him with it.

Thomas finds Martha laughing over Alfred's body, his blood smeared over her face in the shape of a bloody smile and he screams.

They're both broken.

Hi!! Thank you for the ask, first of all. Sadly, everything that has to do with the joker in a story-focused way (aka where I have to put a lot of energy into) Is a bore hazard for me.

#i guess the reason i can't get into the joker is mainly due to the fact that the media chose to hypercomplexify him #in my eyes the line between joker and a regular toxic man is very blurry. for exemple #co depency on other men - in this case bruce - abuse of women. children. justifying terrible decisions on a society #he explicitly makes worse. 'joker isn't actually insane' is a long debunked myth. #insanity -- if we go by classic definition- is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results #joker's actions are repetitive because he WANTS the same results all the time. which makes me think of men #having such a deep seeted hatred towards progress and positive shifts in society. when there's a change in community #be it diversity. inclusion. breaking societal norms. or the improvement of injustices towards minorities #whos the first group to cry? men. #and that makes me think. maybe joker isn't a crazy guy. maybe he's just a regular guy in terrible make up #and you can't get more pathetic than that

i don’t know why this needs to be said but a population doesn’t have to be perfectly progressive to not be ethnically cleansed

#Palestinians don’t have [insert progressive thing here] well man they’re kinda too busy GETTING BOMBED #to not think about other things #maybe if they weren’t BEING BOMBED #they can think about progressive politics and instigate societal change and all of that #like use your fucking brains #tp

So you know that comic called Judgment Day? The one about the astronaut who goes to an alien civilization to assess if they’re ready to join the galactic council or whatever? But he denies them because they are prejudiced against their own kind? And the last panel of the comic shows that the astronaut is a Black man?

Anyways just found out that was one of the last comics produced by EC a company that made its name in horror and scifi comics. Not all of their comics were free of stereotypes or insensitivity but so many of their stories were so radical (addressed antisemitism, racial violence) for the 50s that people started to talk of government censorship of comics. Eventually an NGO made of comic publishers ‘certified’ comics for publication, with a code not dissimilar from the Hayes code for film. Judgement Day’s unedited publication was severely delayed because the council wanted fewer drops of sweat on his face, or a member outright fought its publication because the sentient robot aliens ‘were against his religious beliefs,’ which is all to say that the council didn’t want to publish a comic with commentary on race equality during the height of the civil rights era.

#ra speaks #personal #sorry just info dumping #I recognized the comic and it was like !!!! I’ve seen this on tumblr before and they never mentioned the hell the publisher went through #to get this published unedited after 90% of their comics were pulled from shelves or literally publically burned for the crime of #well. depicting crime. and horror. and violence against authorities. and ‘sexual perversion’ #like I said they weren’t perfect they published racist and sexist and smutty stuff but so many stories #were commentary on societal issues that super hero comics at the time didn’t touch with a ten foot pole #unless you count superman or wonder woman or Batman killing Japanese people as ‘progressive social commentary’
