Happy Holidays!

I wanted to redraw a screen cap from the newest Helluva Boss episode with the AU from @strangefa11 of Elsewhere JMart and a young set of Stoker brothers, but in my own style!

Blame my friend for pointing out that this scene from the Helluva Boss Sins-mas episode looks like an older JMart if the apocalypse didn't happen. They are objectively correct and I've been thinking about them since the episode came out.

Took forever to hunt down the kid Tim post lmao, I should probably get better at tagging posts I want to find again. Anyways, sorry if it's a little off, the HB art style was fighting mine, but ya boi has gotta spend time with family so I hope the result is alright!

"Moo-y Christmas" to y'all who celebrate!

Proof

And the fucked up result of tryna hide the parts of the background that stick out

(no AI was used, just a lot of cropping other pieces of background and blurring what couldn't be pulled from other parts of the set)

part of the reason i love how bell hooks talks about masculinity is that she shows real compassion towards men suffering from the effects of toxic masculinity. she was conscious of how we need to unlearn the ways we talk about men + masculinity just as much as we need to unlearn the same for women + femininity. so many times ill see someone talking about toxic masculinity like (hyperbolizing here but only slightly) “these FUCKING STUPID BABY BITCHES won’t MAN UP and go to a therapist!!!” and like. i get the anger. but you see feminists recreating patriarchal manhood by only promoting good behaviors through patriarchal frameworks. any use of the term “real men” is bad because it reifies the idea that manhood is a special title you must earn, and it is something possible to fail and fake. & as important as it is to promote sexual equality + the pleasure of non-cis-men, lots of people are essentially still working with the idea that men need sexual prowess to have worth but just shifting it slightly so there is more emphasis on women’s pleasure. but I want cis men to think about their partners’ pleasure because they care about their partners, not because they need to check a box in order to keep their man card. and don’t get me started on small dick jokes– and the absolutely pitiful excuse people will use that “well, I don’t believe it, but misogynistic men get upset when I say it, so it’s okay!”

basically bell hooks is so fucking right. in order to create loving men we need to love men, simply for being alive, whether or not they are performing. as much as we need to actively unlearn misogyny (and we do), it’s equally vital we unlearn patriarchal ways of seeing manhood. we can’t just assume that taking a feminist perspective automatically means there is no work to be done there.

reblog with one creative goal that you would like to pursue in 2025 in the tags

it doesn’t have to be ‘big’ and there is no pressure to complete said goal. but i’d love to hear from writers, artists, performers, academics, designers, coders, and so on! 🤍

if it’s a creative outlet, it’s included. let’s inspire each other ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

i think we all need a little bit of peace and quiet 🏳️‍⚧️💤
