after 7 weeks and 4 days

countless days of drawing

and a number of layers i don’t even know

the screenshot redraw of the last frame in rwby’s volume 7 opening is DONE

holy shit am i tired

i’ve wanted to draw a ‘big thing’ like this for a very, very long time now, but my lack of motivation and feeling that i hadn’t honed my skills enough prevented me. but rwby finally pushed that drive into action, my love for it enough to spend longer on this piece than anything i’ve ever done before, beating out the four-hour record i previously had by a long shot.

it’ll be a while before i ever spend so long on a piece again, but i do hope to do it another time someday!

Ask game: Which RWBY character do I most remind you of, and for what reason(s)?

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how Penny Polendina bucks the trend of “neurodivergent-coded robot/non-human character who is neurodivergent-coded solely because they are a robot/not human, and it’s only played for comedy”? Like I’m so tired of neurodivergent rep being comic relief non-human characters, but Penny subverts all of that because the source material does everything to make Penny as human and as genuine as possible. I mean, Penny has a literal canonical soul, she has complex relationships with her father, with Ruby, with Winter, her range of emotions, both positive and negative, is vast and is demonstrated thoroughly and effectively in Volume 7…she’s a neurodivergent character that I feel I actually identify with because she’s so genuine and real.

Just think back to Volume 2, right after Ruby sees her stop a truck with her bare hands. Penny begins to panic, she starts to hiccup, she hugs herself, all because she’s scared that Ruby is going find out a deep personal secret. When I first watched this scene, I felt that. I still do upon rewatching it. I would have done the exact same thing. Penny felt isolated, singled out, because of what made her different. I would have tried to close myself off, too. To hold myself just to feel some semblance of comfort in a situation where everything seems to be crumbling around me. That same scene is what made me fall in love with Penny because, even though it’s the scene which reveals she’s not human, she felt so real.

I just love her so much.

Great! The gang’s all here. Now we can die together.

Listen, I’m not against venting about stuff you don’t like in a series. 

I do it, too– we all do.

But you have to recognize how powerful anger, hatred, and negativity are. They are feelings that feed off of themselves, and left unchecked they get out of control. So if you’re building an entire platform– an anti blog where people are free to “vent”, which you respond to– you have to understand that those pages of nothing but hatred directed at people who don’t agree with you will eventually turn into an echo chamber, and that that echo chamber will not always be enough to contain the feelings you’re perpetuating. 

Your followers will look for an outlet other than you to “vent” to. They’re going to want to deal some “real” damage, which oftentimes it gets directed at people who genuinely just want to have fun and do no harm with their friends. This will happen, no matter how much of a righteous and level-headed person you think you are. 

Take some responsibility. Realize when you’re valiant effort to be “an outlet” for people’s frustration isn’t so valiant after all. 

Stop perpetuating bullshit, and stop hurting real people over fiction.

All the cute nicknames Victor Frankenstein called his son throughout the book:

catastrophe 

miserable monster

demoniacal corpse to which I have so miserably given life

an ugly mummy

a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived,

the filthy daemon to whom I have given life

no human

the wretch whom I had created

sight tremendous and abhorred

unearthly ugly being

too horrible for human eyes

miserable head

vile insect

abhorred monster

wretched devil

you, whose joint wickedness might desolate the world

too horrible for human eyes to behold

the filthy mass that moved and talked

wretch whom I dreaded

villain

monster of my creation

fiend

figure most hideous and abhorred

+ bonus - all the cute ways captain Robert Walton described Victor’s son on 1 page:

a form which I cannot find words to describe

never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness

tremendous being

scary and unearthly in his ugliness

Tag yourself I’m “the filthy mass that moved and talked”

All of these books are queer, but they all have back blurbs that don’t say they’re queer. While this can be a pain if I’m scouting for queer SFF, it can come in handy for people in a situation where they don’t want to be reading queer books openly. 

Please do note that I don’t have hard copies of the books on hand so it’s possible that an author quote or something mentions one being queer (I feel like this isn’t super likely, but I don’t want to rule it out). Some might also have author biographies mentioning that the author is queer. Also, some may be shelved as LGBT on Goodreads or categorized as queer on Amazon. So if you’re planning on asking for any of these as holiday gifts, I would suggest going to the Amazon page or where ever your relative is likely to buy it from and double check that it’s something you’d be comfortable with sharing openly. 

I wish I had more pansexual books, but the ones I know of tend to mention queerness in the back description. 

With the exception of The Spy with the Red Balloon, these are all books I have read or are currently reading. If you want to recommend others, feel free to do so in the replies!

You can find my other queer book recommendations here.

Links to the queer books database (or Goodreads if the book hasn’t been added yet) are available below the cut. You can find information on content warnings there.

.... i have three siblings but I guess I’m like the younger middle sibling? And I almost exclusively play warlocks whoops.

D&D players, reblog this post and say if you're the oldest, middle, youngest, or only child, and what class you normally play (or if you DM). It's for Science

What if, and hear me out, you shipped a woman character with your fav leading guy WITHOUT tearing down the other woman who is a love interest? Because it’s likely (again, please bear with me!) that the insistence on framing one character as “bad” just so you can justify your ship is actually rooted in misogyny and shows what a binary understanding you have of all the important ways humans have relationships that aren’t just romantic?
