Hope has dirt on her face Blood on her knuckles The grit of cobblestones in her hair And just spat out a tooth As she rises for another go.

I was . . . deeply disturbed by the art of Luce you reblogged. I understand having issues with the Catholic church; I'm not Catholic and have a long list of disagreements with them myself. But I don't think artwork of a little girl (even a fictional one) dying brutally is going to convince Catholics that they're wrong about anything. I don't think it's going to help anyone. For my part, it mostly made me feel sick and sad.

in isolation i wouldn't like it much either on those grounds, but as you could see in the post it was a reworking of an existing notable work on the subject of 'missionary getting eaten by wild animals,' and thus very clearly part of an ongoing artistic dialogue about colonialism.

so yeah this one is in the category of 'art that's not for you' and definitely not about convincing catholics of anything.

this one is 'making fun of catholic church for attempting to use a cutesy avatar to sanitize their historical atrocities.' different conversation.

I've got a question regarding the Slomen. how do they show affection towards one another? Are they similar to humans when it comes to affection or do they have their own little silly way, and considering the women have those neat feathers on their tiny arms I was also wondering if they had a special display like some birds do or if its just there to look pretty.

While it is similar to humans, in that they have spoken language of affection, touch is much more common in everyday conversation, and thus extra common in affectionate interactions.

Often more intimate and happy interactions contain fewer words as the interacting slomen likely operate on the same "wavelength" and have an easier time reading one another. Touch is also a more intimate way of speaking than speech since others can't listen to it.

Also by "wavelength", I mean set up mood but also the fact slomen can to some degree smell the stress level of others, like many earthly creatures do. Unlike humans, they also smell sickness, making it lot easier for a group to survive an epidemic despite the high contact large groups slomen socialize in.

Hugs are very common in any close group. In a friendly environment, cuddle between two will likely become a cuddle of many. Sleeping is a communal activity.

And to the "wings" and the big feathers!

Yes, some cultures have silly wing dances and decorating methods. It's more common where women are more proactive during courting. In some other places, the mid limbs aren't even allowed to be viewed and/or are trimmed before seasons. But matriarchs are most often allowed to have large fancy show feathers.

So slomen don't have any remaining biological needs to dance with their mid limbs like some of their relatives but there is a desire to show off.

Some individuals might use them in body language like the happy wing waving in the picture. It can look silly but it's hard to not imitate your friend sillying when talking to them. It's a way of bonding.

Question: What is this in the background?

[genderqueerdykes]

If I say I am nonbinary will everyone also think I'm also trans? I'm not sure how to feel about it honestly because it doesn't fit me too well. You do you if you want to be trans and nb but can I just take the nb and not the trans label?

oh totally! people do this all the time!

non binary can encompass and mean a lot of experiences- many non binary people feel trans, many don't. that's totally okay! cis people can be non binary, you can simply just be non binary. whatever you want, however it works for you. it's your choice whether or not you feel that makes you trans. there are a lot of experiences that fall outside of the woman-man gender binary we currently know. that's a totally fine usage/expression of the non binary label :)

take care! feel free to ask any more questions you may have

Betel and Lydia's next deal should go like:

"I promised myself I wouldn't do this again, but I really need your help. And I swear that this time I actually will-"

"I want a picture. Of you. Last one I got is scratched all to hell and needed updating anyway. Not too much to ask is it? A new picture of my boo?"

"You had a...? Actually, never mind. Deal."

*some time later*

"Here." *hands him the picture*

"Oh wow, you actually paid! We're making real progress!"

*looks at it* *eyes bug out, tongue lolls out, he gives a wolf-whistle*

"HOLY FUCKING MOLY! Babes. Babes, I meant for my desk! Like a portrait pic! A safe-for-work photograph of your face. AndokIwashopingforsomecleavage but, but this is-"

"Um, well I-" *she tries to snatch it back*

"Oh, nononononono, I am keeping this!"

This was brought to you by my frustration that Betelgeuse never gets paid by Lydia. Cause he asked too much too soon of her. So he should ask for something more reasonable and get overpaid at least once. In the spirit of fairness and all that.

Ahh! I love this 😂✨

Talking about his photo being smashed, I hope Betelgeuse got to pick up an updated photo of Lydia at some point in the movie while he was loose. Maybe when he went away for a bit during their team-up. It's sad if Delores ruined his framed photo and he can't have a new one. He can always fix it, but it'd be nice if he got a new one.

The funniest thing Trump could do at this moment would be to withdraw.

little less funny but way more plausible and arguably more staying power as a joke, he could drop dead

[mamawasatesttube]

forgot to say but your timkon was amazing too. i usually avoid that shit like the plague and you are probably the first actual timkon shipper i've ever come across

HAHKFDJS REAL honestly. thank you!!! yeah the timkon tag is a fucking cesspit 😔 the trick is finding the kon fans who like tim, as opposed to the ~batfam~ fans who just know that a lot of people draw tim in superboy t-shirts. the kon fans who also enjoy tim are where you get the good timkons <3 we are small in number but we're out here!!! we are quoting superboy (1994) #85 at each other on the daily!!! burn baby burn am i right robin?!?!
