Americans could barely handle a black man, couldn’t handle a white woman, and REALLY couldn't handle a black woman - yet they can handle an actual criminal, pedophile, and terrorist. Crazzzyyyyyy
#personal#uspol#sexism#racism#What’s wild to me is they couldn’t even handle a white lady#Like a wealthy older white lady#Was too much#And then a woman of color u freaks had to start destroying ballot boxes and acting fucking insane#HOW do u hate the people who gave u life this much#Like that’s rly my question#U bitches are so fucking ungrateful#I’m sure that’s why ur so anti abortion#Bc if ur mommy had known better she would’ve gotten rid of u

a doodle of my new teardrop gjinka!! i think they turned out pretty cute :)
#dandy’s doodles#bfdi#battle for dream island#bfdi teardrop#bfdi td#bfdi gjinka#bfdi humie#bfdi human#bfdi humanized#bfdi humanization#kin#my old design for them was charming and campy but i think it was too edgy for them#like yeah td’s the hoodie type but she would wear brighter colors than that. and she’s too active to wear jeans or whatever i had her in#they’re definitely a bit of a sneakerhead… but in a practical way. they need good kicks#i’m imagining her and her newbie alliance clique in high school…#lollipop is popular and gets gelatin and td acquainted with the popular crowd but the three of them decide they all suck#lolly’s really good at math and is everyone’s crush. gelatin is addicted to his 3ds and is the life of the party.#and td is well-rounded in school subjects but an absolute expert at destroying you in gym class (she’s also on the track team with needle)#teardrop and lolly watch lesbian anime together. sometimes td gets to third-wheel when flower gets invited#all three newbie alliance members hijack the prom and play 100 gecs on the speakers#etc. i could go on

47th (?) coloring submission for @green-with-envy-phandom-event with lineart by @foxyteah
.... was i thinking up a whole plot for this au while coloring? yeah. yeah i was.
#greenwithenvy2024#danny phantom#paulina sanchez#i meant to follow actual manhwa coloring and then i quickly diverged as my time ran out#absolutely believe paulina would cast a spell or something to pull her and phantom into her story#danny thinks the way to break out of the story would be to remove the crown - thinking that's binding him to the world#but no! plot twist! the flowers that glow at night are actually a disguised variety of blood blossoms that dampen his powers#and as time in the story goes on the blood blossoms have a greater affect on danny - times running out for him to figure out the disguised#flowers are the reason he can't use his powers and destroy them to break out otherwise he'll be stuck forever#paulina would absolutely made a deal with a ghost to find and plant a variety of blood blossoms that wouldn't hurt danny#but would cancel out enough of his powers to keep him tethered to the story#paulina is having the time of her life! danny not so much. but it would be a fun opportunity to humanize paulina for danny#and of course Sam takes place of villainess to “heroine” here because paulina is that petty

Hi!! I do plan on finishing it, I didn't draft it up way back in December to not see it through 😭😭
But my standards for the following pages were too high so they didn't get finished as soon as I wanted, and then I ended up super busy with other things for the next several months :'>
#its been a struggle ngl i'd be like#this sketch is great#(line art destroys my life)#actually this line art is great#(coloring destroys my life)#actually the colors are okay#(shading absolutely destroyed my life i dont like it)#so that was where I left off :'D#i want to fix it so bad but looking at it i rlly didnt know where to start... and if every following page gives me the sake issue then#something in my process has to change#same issue oops typo#i need to like... not clean up every single step i feel#gotta accept that sketchy/not fully rendered things are fine#bc at this rate i get burned out just thinking about how to composition things 😭😭#i was supposed to be done with the whole thing by now :'>

Even now, it still feels strange living without you by my side.
Mild vent/Phigr.Os Program lore cause of some things at the beginning of the week.
Aka. I may have accidentally written doomed Yuri and I thought it (somewhat) fits the situation I'm in
#ally's ocs#gijinka#original character#OC: Distorted Fate#OC: Rrhar'il#Jsjjsjk GOD I really need to remember that Rrhar'il exists and I have designed her since June#I keep thinking “Ugh I need to make Rrhar'il” and then I go “Wait I may be stupid.”#Initially I planned for it to be in color. But the laziness kicked in so :V#Also the “situation I'm in” in question is not as bad as “my lifelong friend leaving me to destroy the world”#But the “my life long friend left me (not the death kind)” partfits enough

You know, sometimes I like a character for deep reasons like narrative relevance, symbolism, their arc throughout a story, the greater impact they have…
And sometimes I like them because their name is pretty and I like typing it out.
#usually it’s a bit of both but that’s less funny#myles the mandalorian#treech#tbosas treech#anthony tremaine#tbosas mizzen#why do I like Anthony? well he’s got lots of potential for interesting stories and and implications for the wider themes of Descendants#but also#his name’s pretty#why do I like Myles from Star Wars? well he’s one of the few pieces of Jango’s life before grief destroyed him#his death made Jango go full murder mode so lots of stuff to explore there and the True Mandalorians are super interesting#but also Myles is in my top 5 boy names and blue is my favorite color#Treech… uhm no actually I tricked myself into liking his name#at first I hated it but I love him so much that I also like his name now#what’s wrong with me#I like Mizzen for his name

Nobody should ever leave me alone. I make bad decisions when left to my own devices.
#I destroyed my hair#to be fair it was wrecked to begin with#but I hate what I did to it#bad bad bad color#fuck my life#I cut it too#and probably shouldn’t have#but I can’t afford to get my hair cut

I will sound like I am 45 and not 25 ofc, but to be truthful, I am heading towards losing my joy and passion as a fan-artist. It is about the fandoms as a concept in general, without applying it to any specific one. More like about, WHAT fandoms are by now.
I tend to dive into a game/show/whatever ears deep because as an autist I interact with a lot of concepts vicariously through fiction, but also because I just have this natural wish to respect and love (revere, even) something, and complicated creative works that combine several art types work just well. But fandoms are... bad. They are just bad. Now this is absolutely normal for some gremlin that doesn't know anything about the source material to jump in and start to do their thing - be it being super inaccurate to begin with, breaking the source material to replace with their agenda and tastes, or simply spam a lot of samey, 'soulless'(?) fanart with clear clout in mind to, as kids call it, "build the platform" so they can let the STONKS roll in and promote their own stuff at last if they have it.
Like... This is what fandoms ARE by now. Halfway the grinding ground to gain following to sell commissions to, halfway a ground to spread politics and opinions. Business or propaganda. Not a matter of whether products and propaganda are for good things, they're value neutral concepts and can be used for good or bad equally, but both are not ABOUT the source material. Okay, not fully halfway - some ears-deep fans still are here. But why even? When we, actual fans, give people essays on why they are drastically wrong about a character - we get mocked for not having (highlight the correct: real life, girlfriend, touched the grass, job, all applies). When we demand respect and accuracy to the source material - we are called snobbish entitled gatekeepers at least, accused of various isms and phobias at large. When we try to encourage something deeper and more interesting - again, people tell us we are "boring" and that no one cares about this or that character, and outright boast about how they are only here for this sexy man or for that ship and not really lore dive.
Even basically ancient fandoms like Doctor Who, Star Wars or Star Trek that sprouted THANKS TO those exact "30+ loosers with no life" could no longer uphold the whole ears-deep fan mentality because new installments invited too much shallow fans that are prone to mocking too, and celebrities that are responsible for making awful reboots/continuations can just violate the source however they want under cover of "everyone who doesn't like it is just a sexist and racist incel". This is just how it is now. Passion, elaborate knowledge on the source and respect for a thing truly great creative minds created are now considered DIRTY things, and are a proof of one's inferiority in accomplishments and personality. Because fandoms are no longer a place to gather FANS. They are "platforms".
I just consider, would it be more fun to either invest in the fandoms for real people (composers, poets, scientists, etc) where loving the source material for what it is is a requirement (because...... real people... historical accuracy....), or to just head towards creation my own thing sooner than later? I got to say though, I am thankful for each and every fan in whatever fandom I visited that was/is just as passionate as me. It felt, and still feels less lonely to have more people that don't see shame in REALLY fucking loving stories and characters.
#fandomry rambles#internets#/vent#originally did not want to even write something like this because i sound like an old lady#a GRUMPY old lady actually#but ehhhhh. my blog.#i just dont see what is so wrong about really loving a creation instead of just using it#why can't someone make their life more colorful by being passionate about a thing#i start to feel like 'gatekeeping is bad' was a lie sold to us#to destroy a very valid practice of people analyzing fiction into absurd depths#also about 'ancient fandoms':#no brainer that i did not catch the geeks stuff personally#generally speaking i just encountered some old fans complaining about how-#-fandoms 'used to be better' and saw them as silly old men that can't move on dhgkhkkh#but at this point i feel like i get what they were talking about#that they were bullied out of fandoms they CREATED by people that dont get the source material#even soulsborne fandom ended up pulling people that will MOCK real fans#like.... okay? then why ARE you here if no-lifing bloodborne lore is so bad?#siiiiiiigh#this post is so old lady that typing this made my back sore ghkughjjn /hj#but it is how it is#also i have a friend from another fandom with apparently the same kind of autism as mine#and she constantly has the same problem xd#the whole 'wait you guys dont LOVE this game and came here to beat it into your own thing?'#in bloodborne it is poor gehrman and maria who became the biggest display of the whole-#-real fans vs people who just are here to yell and grind fanbase#i feel like real fans got bad name BECAUSE they can be really rude in the name of fiction#but look at the fake fans! they likewise can be pretty rude but they ALSO drag politics into it!

Last night I got curious over what exactly happened between me and Medkit and why it escalated. I’ll be walking through this in chronological order as MUCH AS I CAN, with of course the gaps of memory of the exact happenings.
This is a long one so i’m going to preface this by saying I am not entirely sure what happened yet and I can’t for sure say “this feels 100% right” which leads me to believe there’s something else to it? It’ll come in time, I am sure
GREEN is CONFIRMED MEMORY.
ORANGE is UNSURE.
PINK is THEORY.
MEMORY GAPS are in [BRACKETS]
Another Important Note is that not all unsurety is entirely true as I misremember details sometimes, and not all theory is false—it is merely speculation upon what might’ve happened. If this makes sense
Memory under the cut. CW/TW for violence and description of eye trauma.
Medkit and I enter the lab that day. Yesterday we might have had a breakthrough on the crystals in some way that showed us that there was something that could change the entire world, that they were more than simply stupid powerful. We decide to sleep on it, and come back the next day to discuss and do whatever we had to in the lab that day. We begin talking about what the crystals can do, both standing bc at our usual station. I start the conversation with wonder. I cannot remember my exact words, but I said something along the lines of how the crystals were amazing and could change the world. He agrees, and I continue.
[There is a gap here of how exactly we got onto this topic as to what was said.] I say something about how the faction’s militaries could utilize the crystals to protect its citizens and fairly have defenses, something of that sort. He disagrees with me and says that he doesn’t trust the governments, and especially Blackrock’s. He wants something better for the world in a way to utilize the crystals, something about the people personally. [I GENUINELY cannot remember what exactly he wanted however I do know it was anything BUT the government.] Maybe he perhaps wanted to keep our work away in some way, MAYBE destroy some of it? Regardless, we started arguing over it. The fight escalates very badly, and I push him and he pushes back, which sets me off and makes me go after him by pushing him again but harder.
[Memory gap, I do not know what exactly happened to get to this point.] I was on top of him, and we were struggling with each other. I clawed out his eye somehow, either with my bare ass fingers or gloves or whatever or a sharp object. I did not cut his eye out meticulously as I was too angry to consider doing that. (also, he was a childhood friend, I think the maximum amount of violence is whatever managed to occur during this fight. I also had morals despite it all.) If anything, the reason i clawed it out was because i was swatting at him with one arm and I managed to get his eye. He then (I would obviously assume) got mad at me for this and [does something to get up and turn the tides in his favor] clawed out my eye the same way? If not, he might have grabbed something sharp like a lab scalpel and specifically sliced at me.
I don’t think we had ever seen each other that mad at each other before. We weren’t thinking straight at all, or at least I wasn’t. I don’t think I ever truly intended the fight to start to begin with.
(Here’s where things start to turn into gaps and bits and pieces. I’ll try to connect them the best I can.)
I think it’s important to note neither of us had our gears—they were left at home.
We punch at each other and throw things [details unremembered and muddled]. At one point, Medkit grabs a scalpel. He slices at me and gets me pretty good in some places. He ends up stabbing me a few times in non fatal places (but they were still deep cuts that hurt—I remember retaining scars on my body from some of those slashes and stabs) This was kind of ignored by me in the long run because of adrenaline, but this fight went on for a long while and I was moving around a lot which I don’t think helped the bleeding.
As I am writing out this memory I remember him with a lab scalpel in his hand, I was on the other side of the lab and I was bleeding, but I know I was not focused in the slightest because adrenaline was doing things to my brain. We’d known each other all our lives, but I have never seen such anger and spite in his eye (this was after he took mine, judging by the conscious realization of a void on my left side of my vision).
It felt like there was only negative emotion in that expression and thought. Someone who had such gentle expression usually and tone had shown a fierce, driven-by-anger expression. I think I would have thought on it more if I wasn’t in the moment of anger myself, but I think a part of me paused to think about that. It wasn’t scary, but there was an emotion I couldn’t and cannot describe to you that was in the back of my mind.
[Memory gap. The fight continued for a while but I don’t remember the details.] Regardless, I started getting weak from the wounds I sustained and the blood loss. I remember feeling tired and a little sick, and I wasn’t thinking clearly. [Memory gap again between that, though this was a bit closer] I know at one point we grabbed each other and with his full body at full force shoved me backwards. I remember slipping on the shattered glass on the floor and falling backwards. There was a cabinet island table thing there, and I remember the adrenaline wearing off at this point. I don’t think I could physically get up. I might’ve blacked out from blood loss and gone into medical shock/hypovolemic shock.
[Large memory gap between then and the time of which I was aware I was in the hospital] I am genuinely unsure how much I faded in and out of consciousness, or if I even did because once again there’s a big memory gap. However I do know that my recovery took longer than I assume Medkit’s did, because when I was able to fully recover he had fled Blackrock entirely. I blamed myself for starting that fight and blamed myself for him fleeing Blackrock for the period of my life that I remember from that point. [Note: Assuming it was critical, it could have taken anywhere up to a week or two, to at max a month. I cannot remember what time period or how long it took.]
That is about as much as I remember of that fight, and while it is still a lot of detail I still have yet to remember it entirely as again there is a TON of missing detail. cool awesome i love memories. Yippee!
#🧪me#txt post#memories#rambling#fictionkin#phightingkin#phighting kin#I was explaining this all to my girlfriend and she said like. “This is your area of expertise you DO THIS”#like YEAH. yeah. hold on i do. this is genuinely prime klavier gavin showing#it’s kind of like uncovering a murder scene in a court case.#like specifically the motive is the crystals and the difference in opinion but it is not entirely cleared up for me#nor is how a lot of the fight went except for destroying glass on each other and tons of other lab equipment#another thought came to me of “how did I even get to the hospital?” and I can’t answer that at all#did like people not hear us breaking shit because it went on for like what i ASSUME with a tinge of unsureness to be hours?#i also wish to know how medkit felt with what was to be done with the crystals and if my theory was right#that he thought maybe our life’s research was in fact just not something that should be publicized#perhaps he said we should keep it to ourself not for selfish reasons but because the world wouldn’t change for the better with them#<theory 2#take that with a shaker’s worth of salt#i’ve already remembered a very good deal of it just by researching hypovolemic shock and concussion stuff and whatever so that’s good!!#i just must be patient#additionally ignore that this is color coded like unpleasant gradient. that wasn’t intentional. /srs

#somethign i keep thinking abut thats really simple but impacted me quitea bit is when sable said like...#keeping constant tabs on people who wantnothing to do with you and seem to be fine moving on without you is destroying you#i think that is definitely also a part of what was almost a shell shock of clarity for me?#and the whole like. pretty much get out of my life thing the whole moving on thing#i think its because like. i considered them my whole life. so to realize + even be told that like. idk. its done its over pretty much#without even really a second thought#when all ive been having is second thoughts up until that point. i was willing to go through hell for what id done. for forgiveness#and then having that stomped on. my hurt and my pain that no one had to read. calling me disturbed. vomiting at my thoughts#in my weakest moments. where i was belly up. it changed my view entirely. that i am not even worth a second thought to these people#my mourning. my own disgust in myself and my own actions. not enough. still even in my own space am i revolting to them#i dont wanna say i felt like i was shown true colors but i do kinda feel like i was shown true colors#it would not be the first time with this group where i was shown such an ugly uncharitable mean spirited and devoid of faith in me reaction#to a mistake i havemade. i cannot even remotely imagine the people im with now responding to *anything* like that#even if i had done something reprehensible. there would at least be some sense of “i care about you so much” in any response theyd give me#even if disappointed. even if revolted by me. there is no such thing with the rest of these people ive known. not even slightly#the want and need to mend something important to you. to fight for it. was just not there in regards to me. they only care about themselves#and what happens to them#cus qhen i tell you i was sitting feeling absolutely awful over the things i was reading that they were going thru.#just to turn around and be strangled and beat for my own reactions to the situation... like. night and day by a certain point. night and day

The mattress company I worked for the first time no longer exists. It was long ago eaten and assimilated by a bigger company. But when I started it was an incredibly intense five weeks of training. I was told I was extremely lucky to be selected, and I was. From a pool of a hundred applicants only fifteen of us made the cut to entering the training program.
The course covered how to talk to customers, how to ask open ended questions, how to close a sale, and product knowledge. I learned a lot, and truthfully my greatest takeaway was a lot of social scripts that I could use in other areas of my life.
We also had a midterm exam and a final. Both included a roleplay element with a trainer and a written portion. They told us when we started that the course was challenging but it was still a shock to come in after the midterm and realize half the class had failed.
I was named valedictorian of training- a dubious honor as it meant I’d done the best in the class, but popular lore had it that valedictorians struggled the most on the sales floor. Lo, I struggled.
Not because I wasn’t good. I was. But because my manager set out to systematically destroy my self esteem. Every sale, every interaction I had was scrutinized and criticized.
If I sold a bed with protectors, moveable base, and pillows he’d ask why I hadn’t managed to sell pillow protectors too. His first trainee had thrived on being challenged and he’d never bothered to learn a different way to coach.
It was wretched. My performance started strong but nosedived after a few weeks with him. My trainer, a man I loathed for stonewalling me in my interview, came in to inform me I was on new hire probation. If I couldn’t get my sales numbers up I’d be let go.
His actual phrasing was, “When you have a bandaid do you like to rip it off or pull it slowly?”
Since it was eminently obvious why he was visiting and because I thought it was condescending I sweetly informed him that I liked to soak my bandaids in hot water so they come off on their own.
He was briefly startled at this derailing but then got on with the bad news. I signed some forms stating that I understood my job was in peril.
I went home furious. I thought long and hard about why I wasn’t succeeding and how frustrated I was with my manager. I came in the next day and my anger had crystallized into a cold sharp edge.
My manager opened his mouth to address the probation and I snapped, “Just leave me alone. Go in the back if I have a sale. If you must address a serious issue then you will give me praise on two things I did right and present it as a compliment sandwich. Otherwise just say good job and shut up. Your constant nitpicking just makes me anxious and I do worse. Back off.” Belated and begrudging I added, “Please.”
He raised his eyebrows in dim surprise but I’d gauged him well. He backed off. Dutifully he’d meander into the back when I had a sale and praised me when I closed it. I resented knowing it was only because I’d demanded complimented but they still boosted me up. My numbers skyrocketed, I landed my first split king sale, and I exited probation with flying colors.
The trainer came back in to congratulate my manager for turning things around. To my gratification he gave me credit for setting him straight and said I’d taught him a different way to lead. My manager would often genuinely praise that moment when I’d stood up to him, impressed with my stubborn refusal to fail and my insight into what would help.
My biggest takeaway from the whole thing was just that people need positive reinforcement to succeed. Praise people for doing a good job. If you’re ever in a position where you need to criticize someone put it in a compliment sandwich instead of just saying the negative.

🛑 Stop 🛑‼️🙏
Hello all I am Doaa Jad Al Haq from Gaza I studied a diploma in fashion design and clothing manufacturing at the Palestine Technical College in Deir al-Balah and graduated with a very good grade. I was first in my class during the two years. I worked for a year in a center affiliated with UNRWA, and after that I created my own project and began Palestinian agricultural hand embroidery, which is part of the Palestinian heritage. I embroidered on clothes and bags, then After that, I focused more on making bags in all their forms. I embroidered the bag with different drawings, shapes, and colors, then I completely detailed it. I had my own workshop. Unfortunately, everything was gone from the beginning of October 7, so the occupation destroyed the place where I was working, and by destroying my house, I had nothing left, and during the last four months, I borrowed money from a friend to leave Gaza with my autistic child. The situation was very bad for him and for all of us. I left behind my husband and my family. Now, with your help and generosity, I hope that you will help me buy a machine and the necessary tools to start my project again in Egypt so that I can treat my child and help my family. I trust your generosity and I am sorry to ask you for this. Your donation, no matter how simple, will contribute to starting a new life. Thank you all. Best regards, Doaa"
