This is an on the string propaganda post
Brought to you, by me (with love)
It's time for machine comforts. Comforts we can't understand, or experience. Let them be happy, let them be at peace with their body.
Does a breath of cool water feel nice on their systems? When it's quiet do they listen to their own heart and feel the electricity pulsing? Does it remind them that they are alive and a part of this world? Do they have dreams? Hopes and projects they wish to work on, hobbies?
Why get off the string into the harsh and deadly world, fighting for survival and losing everything they've ever known to love about themselves?
What about the safety of their bodies? How scary would it be for a machine with thousands, maybe millions of throughs to suddenly have just a handful. The horror of everything going silent.
They have hundreds of eyes to see the world for all its beauty, they capture moments that would otherwise go unseen. Why blind themselves of such things?

after rewatching knives out for the billionth time i have come to the conclusion that chris evans and daniel craig thrive in the silly goofy roles. get them out of the Sexy Cool Action Hero™ typecast and let them go apeshit

seeing some people's reaction to weird gamer men oversexualizing kiriko is "mauga is right there, half naked, with serveral pin-up sprays" and while i do agree to an extent, i do feel like alot of people are kind of ignoring like. the racial element of mauga's sexualization, like i like mauga, he's hot, but the second i saw him in the short story, i wasn't a big fan of the whole "big savage brown indigenious guy" and it feels like very few people are pointing that out.
RIGHT LIKE. we cannot fix "gamer men fixate on fictional asian girls to a violent degree, usually in a racist way or enabling racist tropes already present in the character" with "gamer girls fixate on fictional brown men to a violent degree in a racist way or enabling racist tropes present in the character" like you guys are part of the same problemmmmmmm youre doing the same thinggg its not better because youre doing it to men like.
i think some people only want to see the kiriko problem as misogyny and while im not going to even pretend that ISNT a massive part of it, theres still like. a reason kiriko and d.va and mei are fascinations for these dudes. there is a pointed difference between the way these three get spoken about compared to their white counterparts (and their dark-skinned counterparts too - look at the responses to illari for a really easy comparison to how kiriko is treated). their ~exoticism~ as asian women is part of the appeal. even if you dont just wanna take the way dudes online treat them (like making a joke that shes "obvious pornbait" for speaking japanese and using JSL) as evidence of that, look at their marketing. kirikos whole thing is atheleisure traditional, shes got her Mystical Japanese Spiritualism Ninja Powers and her magic doggy and they constantly put her in japanese and korean fashion, and dva has been constantly crossing over with korean merch companies. i cant help but notice theres no brazilian IP crossovers or merch launches for lucio, or any attempt to Sell Peru To Gamers for illari. they couldnt even pick a town in Samoa to name maugas map after. these people wouldn't buy that stuff because it's not fetishized in the same way asia is.
but like. a lot of the people trying to Gotcha these racist dudes with an asian fetish just whip out their favourite racist tropes instead and its a really bad look. like you guys dont wanna examine how your examples of The Characters Its Okay To Hypersexualize are all brown? even the people who wanna fuck cassidy dont talk about him like this. or like. fuck if you want a good comparison for mauga lets look at roadhog. big half-naked tank who theyve been playing up a sexual energy/comic relief duology on since day one with racially insensitive cosmetic options. nobody treats it like its completely normal to talk about him that way. the dev team isnt pushing pinups of him out. he isnt flexing his boobs in trailers. hes a white dude*, so he gets the bare minimum dignity of being treated normally. incidentially hot, maybe, but for the most part his character is sold on being cool , funny and scary. mauga is being sold 50% on being a Sexy Rogue Love Interest and 50% on. releasing late. they put in so little effort for him to be anything else despite hyping him up as suuuper significant to the lore and a major gamechanger its almost embarrassing to watch. (this is why that short annoyed me so much for anyone keeping track).

I loveeeee We Are the series. This show is so silly and adorable and lovable. I couldn’t couldn’t ask for more.
So glad that it’s friendship group focused for the main cast. I absolutely adorreeeee cute friendship groups. And these guys make me feel so warm inside. Love that this ep was just about some silly little guys having fun and getting drunk together.
This is everything I need right now. So let’s keep the good vibes going.
What I’m also lovinngggg is that one of the main majors is fine art. I used to study fine art in school and am currently studying art history and curating. So tbh a lot of the art scenes was just me trying to see whether what they were doing actually made any sense.
And my experience so far is that they looked up abt the fundamentals and just said fuck it. And now we have this, which I’m so happy about. Heating this class of SECOND year students pull an all nighter to finish a drawing of an apple really gives me the joy I need when thinking abt the amount of uni stuff I stuff have to finish.
Like yes, show me Q give Toey a lesson on shading when his drawing had great shading (because it’s printed out). I love it so much. I very much hope we continue to get this insight into their course life. I need to know everything they’re doing. And hey, maybe next week we’ll get to see them drawing another big piece of fruit. I can’t wait.
And with the characters, they all seem great. There’s so one really that I don’t like. The dynamics are all very engaging and actually really fun to watch. So I hope this keeps up in the coming weeks. I guess we’ll have it wait and seeeee.

TLOVM season 2 my absolute beloved, nothing else compares. Like, the found family is back. They’re fucking back and they’re better than ever, and ready to fight literal dragons which is so so sexy of them. New outfits, new weapons, new romances, new characters? Um, yes please, sign me up. Season 1 and the Whitestone arc was phenomenal and now we get to explore even more backstories? Hell yeah! Everyone’s gonna get their time to shine (experience life altering trauma)! Animated fuck-around-and-find-out found family fantasy show of all time fr

hey there's a lot of shit out in the world but like. there's also 300k fanfics written as labours of love and exuberant comment threads on art that point out and gush over little details and there's people who spend hours sewing tiny details on their cosplays and there's fragments of poetry that get shared over and over and bring emotions over and over and there's entire communities of people built around 'we loved a story together' or 'we made a story together' and there's people poring over every line in a work and building theories together and there's getting together with your friends to have ridiculous fantasy adventures every week and yeah. there's some good stories here too yknow.

Hi! First and foremost, I want to say I hope August is treating you beautifully. I’ve been wanting to start making web-weaves / compilations but I don’t know where / how to start! Do you have any tips or advice on how to make them flow together nicely & look pretty? 🤍
hello anon 💕unfortunately i don't have many tips in this regard since my compilations are always just in response to a particular theme or mood i'm currently caught up in. all i can really say is that you can start anywhere, with whatever it is that interests you--it can be a recurring theme / image / motif etc that you notice across art or literature or music (or all three) for example, or simply just collecting your favourite expressions of a particular subject (cats in classical art, let's say). there are no rules just have fun with it!!

HOW THE FUCK DID HE SURVIVE BEING IMPALED TO THE HEAD WITH AN IRON REBAR
It is as deranged as it sounds
They even made a joke about it in 911 Lonestar which is the gay spinoff of 911 and they said something like "you won't believe it a guy survived a rebar through his skull and came back to work after a couple of months as well" 😂😂😂😂
