in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through
I love you "boring" female characters. I love you ingenues. I love you female characters who aren't "modern" enough. I love you female characters who aren't "badass" enough. iI love you female characters who aren't "empowering" enough. I love you quiet female characters. I love you unappreciated female characters. I love you polite female characters. I love you female characters who "can't appeal to modern audiences." I love you frightened female characters. I love you female characters labeled as not complex just for being nice. I love you female characters who get criticism just for not being their tomboy or femme fatale counterpart. I love you silk hiding steel trope.
Really disappointed in all the anti-ocean-exploration sentiments that the sub incident has been bringing up in people.
Yes, going down to see an overhyped old boat in an unregulated piece of shit tin can is a dumbass idea.
But I don’t want to see terminally online suburban kids and twentysomethings, who have maybe once in their life driven past a forest spew out shit like “there’s just shrimp down there” “yeah dont go bother poseidon” or “water is water”
The ocean is a beautiful little piece of outer space below the surface of our planet and thousands upon thousands of people throughout the millenia have dedicated their lives for uncovering its secrets and pushing the limits of where humans can survive.
All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.
