when the objectively bad person has traumatic and honestly reasonable reasons for why theyre like that but it doesnt excuse their actions and only serves to make them more tragic as a character

🚨I WILL NOT FORGIVE ANYONE WHO IGNORES THIS

I will not explain at length. Yesterday I lost the last remaining member of my family in northern Gaza. It broke my heart to see them collecting the little girl's body parts. I couldn't imagine the pain that happened to them. Click. I cannot forget what happened to my family months ago when our house was bombed and a massacre was committed against my family. Click. Lolo's father was killed so that she would become a lone survivor and an orphan. All I can say is there is no time. Please, can you save what's left of my family.

obsessed with the era of historical fashion between the 1860s and 1870s where aniline dyes kept being invented. you can find some absolute fucking eyesores of dresses that were only made that way because “acid magenta” was invented last month and it was trendy.

like this iconic gown:

or this one from the 1870s in aniline purple and aniline black:

or a trendy yellow and black gown from c. 1865, perhaps?

feel free to reblog with additional eyesores (affectionate) that i might have missed

FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

There is no shame in loving without abandon. ✌️❤️

This extends to batman too. Don't remember where it's from, but there's a quote that goes like "If you can't imagine your Batman comforting a crying child, then he's not Batman."

This connects well when you think about how many children look up to his strength. How he was a child once. How Batman has plotlines where he works tirelessly to take down child predator rings and to understand why that kind of evil exists in the world. How his major conflict is avoiding becoming the evil he sees around him. Batman more than anybody must be devout in his tenderness.

Read some actual comics, Kyle.

Superman is an incredibly kind and tender character. (If he’s not being written that way, then he’s not being written well.) He inspires hope not just through his heroics, but also through his kindness toward other people. That’s his thing. Don’t you DARE call tenderness a “weakness.” Get your toxic masculinity the hell away from me and go read a badly written Batman comic if you want a “tough” male character.

This isn't to say that we should never label anybody, but the important question remains: what is the logical extension of those labels? Are we creating a false dichotomy between the "people who do wrong" and the "people who have been wronged"? Do we use these labels to protect people from harm, or to dehumanize those we believe have done harm? Is this productive to our goals, or does it just make us feel good?

My main takeaway is this: abusers still deserve understanding. That does not mean excusing or minimizing their behavior. Understanding the cycle of abuse more than anything is important, not just because abusive people were once victims, but because, as a victim, it's important to heal in the direction of avoiding doing harm to others, and not continuing the cycle.

you can hurt others. you already have. that's part of being human.

the way so many people talk about it in language like "abuser", "monster", "predator", like people who cause harm are a separate species?

its bad! like babygirl, there is no separate species of inherently evil people! we're all just people, and sometimes people hurt other people.

you are capable of hurting others. and having caused harm to others doesnt make anyone inherently evil. if you cannot recognize these two things, you're not a safe person to be around

Love it to bits, but most likely bc of nostalgia. I hate that it has zero fandom, bc the characters are so yummy
