NOT ME FINDING YOU ON PINTEREST

WAS IT THAT ONE ELLIOTT FANART OF MINE WASN'T IT

[crispyanonart]

how tall is your sambastian

My Sam and Sebastian stand respectively at 189 cm (around 6' 2'') and 177 (around 5' 10'')*. I love their height difference, but I don't headcanon Seb as a short man at all - it's Sam that's a big boy!

*below is the height comparison thingy I used + the accurate visual equivalence because I couldn't have calculated it on my own to save my life bro

website used // Also, fun fact: the one on the right is the very very first sketch I ever did of them back when I first got into SDV!!

At that point I was still very casual about everything (this was just my first impression of them after having played a bit, I didn't really have as many headcanons about them yet) and since then the way I draw them evolved - but their heights somehow stayed the same!

my beloveds, today I couldn't draw because my wrist hurts so I unfortunately started thinking. Imagine if we had Older!Sambastian in game!!!!!!! also peep the other aged up npcs lol I love Vincent // To make this I used jazzybee's tool and then I tweaked the portraits a lil (and still managed to get them wrong because I don't know shit about pixel art but oh well)

Hi! Loved your recent art post and the message with it, was wondering if you have any tips/resources/ideas on where to start researching the things you mentioned? Like the important parts of history and how it repeats itself, stuff like that,, thanks!!

Hello anon 🖤 I'll start with a disclaimer: I’m just someone who shares fan art online, I am no expert or anything, but I’ll do my best to offer some useful references and share how I personally stay informed - I'll keep this list updated if I find interesting sources

@ everyone pease feel free to correct me or add to this post

I know that diving into topics like politics and history can feel overwhelming, but I promise it’s manageable if you ease into it with media and languages that feel comfortable to you. Of course, it’d be amazing to read and study every history book and testimony out there, but realistically it’s tough to find the time and energy to consistently do so - at any point in life. The best way to begin is to follow intersectional educators and historians on your socials to get small interesting informations little by little, and go check the sources they provide any time a topic sparks your interest.

Second disclaimer: I don’t know your background or where you’re from, and I think this makes the difference when figuring out where to start. I live in Italy, so many of my usual sources are Italian educators, historians, or social commentary pages that align with my own political and ideological views (se c'è qualche Italian*: il king Alessandro Barbero, Michela Murgia 💔, Claudia Fauzia, Tomaso Montanari, Diletta Bellotti, Cathy La Torre, Loredana Lipparini, @aestheticasovietica, @madonnafreeda...) but I started out just simply by browsing the internet, listening to some (wise) older people talk and perking up my ears in class.

My first tip would be to start local at first, and work outward. Look into the history of your town, community or area. What struggles and key issues have shaped it over time? If you have the means even directly ask people in your circles. We often hear about broad, all-encompassing issues that can feel unfathomable and far beyond our reach and control, but it’s important to remember that everything always starts within local communities, and only grows from there.

On the opposite side of this, my second tip would be to try and keep your sources as diverse as possible, and hear out people from all backgrounds. When events affect a specific community or minority, seek out creators and reporters directly from those groups and involved in said issues. Mainstream news is known to be very partial and biased more often than not - I personally tend to avoid it completely.

☆ now some actual sources:

Profiles

Historycoolkids & Decolonialatlas (these two are honestly just very fun but also educational) / so.informed / IMEU / JP Hill / seastersjones / decolonizemyself / seedingsovereignty / queerbrownvegan / workingclasshistory / brownhistory / propublica / motherjonesmag / ajplus / I'll add more as I find more

Readings

substack: us politics / world politics / history

the electric typewriter: Politics / History

are.na: Politics / this platform is full of great resources and full on books/pdfs to download, but it's better to just browse it by topic

a great library to explore is JSTOR ( @jstor ) / politics

Some writers I recommend are Susan Sontag, Angela Davis, Bell Hooks, David Olusoga, Thomas Piketty, Keisha N. Blain and Margaret MacMillan (you can also look on youtube for lectures they did)

Accessible history

Ryan Chapman

Then&Now

HistoryExtra

CrashCourse

What is Fascism (suggesting this video specifically bc it's the best english one I've found on the topic. Fascism is a word that gets thrown around a lot - and will be in the near future - often without a real knowledge about its origins and meaning, and I think this explains it very well and as quickly as humanly possible.)

This is everything that comes to mind right now!! And by the way remember to always remain full of curiosity and hope xxx

[crispyanonart]

Quick reminder, especially (but definitely not exclusively) for the younger folks: think with your own head, study history and the way it repeats itself, keep fighting, seek community, stay informed, stay safe, stay rebel and stay hopeful ♡

I was pondering on why Leah/Haley is so peak as usual, then I suddenly remembered who raised me, and everything made sense

[crispyanonart]

@ artists who draw SDV characters: just know that in my mind all our versions of the bachelors/bachelorettes coexist and have very specific personalities (like all the au spidermen in the spirder-society)

2025 Firsts!

Tagged by @aashiyancha // Thank you, this is such a cute idea ! I will come back to it at the end of the year... Also this is my first day of proper holidays so I can actually do most of these things lol

First bit of Arts and Crafts: I didn't do much yet, but I'm working on my Sambastian and Leah/Haley wips eheh

First movie watched: The new Nosferatu - just saw it at the cinema this afternoon and I loved it !! I haven't seen a horror film like this in a while

First song listened to: Counting from midnight I'm pretty sure it was The cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience

First TV show watched: I'm continuing my Dragon Ball rewatch OBVIOUSLY 🐉

First book read: I sadly didn't have any time to read for pleasure yet, so technically my first book would be the one about a reportage in Nepal I'm currently designing for a photographer lol (which is actually a very insightful read even if it's for work).

First fanfic read: For the same reason I haven't read any fic yet (after 2024 my marked-for-later list is becoming ridiculous because I've read so few of them since I spend all my free alone time drawing). May 2025 be the year when I catch up with all the long-fics I've been postponing !!

First dinner I had: NYE party leftovers lol (red potato tart, baba ganoush and other miscellaneous homemade veg appetizers)

First food I ate: does alcohol count? 💀

Tagging some cute peeps in case they want to participate @lily-alphonse @theasnewgroove @may8elle @annetastic1981a @eemamminy-art @wrightingdungeon @leifygreeens and anyone else who comes across this and wants to do it !!

[crispyanonart]

Thank you for this year together !! ✩ °｡⋆ have this baby Seb and Sam background - more color variations below

I included one of my fav Green Day lyrics 🖤

[crispyanonart]

Unexpectedly sharing these bad boys because for once I'm actually proud of something I made !! Arcane-sonas AND Arcane-style portraits (bc relying on the ai filter is prohibited in this household) of my lil crew 🖤

[crispyanonart]

Merry Christmas, Anon! I hope you have a good rest of the holiday season!

Thank you Leo!! I'm hanging in there 🖤 I wish you happy holidays and a nice end of the year as well :D

Sebastian lovers I'm giving you homework: go watch Ultraman: Rising (2024) if you still haven't, Kenji Sato is so Seb coded I couldn't pay attention to the plot (/j the plot is also really good)
