#I find it so fascinating

2 things ive noticed about sunday and robin bc i can no longer subject my poor best friend to paragraphs on paragraphs and I want this out of me

1. Designs

Sunday features dull, muted colors and has a lot of sharp edges. He's also got darker colors in general. Robin is so much brighter, bouncier, and has a lot of rounded/organic shapes in her design.

2. Sunday constantly in the shadows, Robin always in the spotlight

Goes hand in hand with their designs tbh, which I find cool

He's just always in the back!!!!!! Pretty much speaks for itself...

I'm so curious to know their deal in just a few days, because this has been killing me this week, on top of their baby trailer 😭😭

I'm from the great bear rainforest so I love this,,, may I hand you my dear friend the Kermode Bear? A rare subspecies of Black Bear from British Columbia Canada, also known as Spirit Bears!

i ADORE Kermode bears!!!! I love it when subspecies happen in All animals (cuz it’s so fun) but in bears especially!! I like thinking about what could have caused them to mutate and evolve….. it is like a puzzle to me….

ANYWHO!!!! Did you know that Spirit bears aren’t actually albino? Many people assume that they are, but they actually have a gene mutation instead that causes melanin to not be produced in their fur, but they still have pigmentation in their skin and eyes, meaning they don’t qualify as albino!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5!!! A wonderful bear with a wonderful story!!

I can't emphasise enough just how stressful the US election also is to non-Americans who can't even vote in it. Unfortunately we live in a world where decisions in the US echo out beyond its own borders, and yet we're forced to just watch powerlessly from the side lines...

I could write an essay on why Cartman is in love with Kyle cause I’ve watched South Park in its entirety 5 times so I’d like to say I have a good grasp on the characters.

I also have a theory about the woman he married in Post Covid (can’t remember her name) and how it relates to his feelings for Kyle.

I honestly love the doctor's very questionable moral compass...

i'm not a visual artist, but i knew one who's at 5! i asked them a lot of questions because i'm at 1 and i didn't even know 5 was possible until then. from what i understand, they would have a general idea of something they wanted to draw and then would just go for it and figure it out as they went. they were a digital artist, so i can't say if the process would be different for someone using a physical medium, but i thought it was interesting!

just curious : )

pls reply how much you feel your visualization impacts you, i am very interested to hear from 4s and 5s

(im a 2 or 3 btw not sure)

jessica really said “god forbid women do anything” and doomed an entire people to war by installing her twink son as a false prophet by stealing her cult’s 10,000 year old breeding program propaganda

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

saw a post recently about the sun and moon fandom and how non-selfship content is rare, and how that's frustrating, and it struck me, like... how rare that is. genuinely in all my 20ish years in online spaces, i've never seen a fandom that not only welcomed selfship but actively encourages it, when usually the rule of thumb is that it's tolerated at best and despised at worst

so why is this fandom so selfship centric?

the answer is a combination of factors, of course, but I think it was mostly just a perfect storm of the right character with the right traits at the right time. many people between about 23 and 33 were and still are experiencing intense childhood nostalgia that's being perpetuated by online culture and various media, often through a distorted or slightly unsettled lense. the daycare attendant is fun! they're childish, but decidedly not children. they're not human, unattainable in reality, but plausible enough in the age of ai that they make you ponder. they make you long to nap and play and color and do all the whimsical things you wish you could take a week off from your dull job and do! but there's something... off about them. an element of danger that's intriguing. they're dangerous, but what if they aren't to you specifically? or, if they are, what if they overcame that, just for you? what if you were worth it?

people our age are lonely, and if not, often working through issues they didn't have time to contemplate in their teens and early 20s because they were still living throigh the issues. younger people too, of course, but it's especially rampant in the aforementioned age group. past college and college friends, too caught up in work to make new ones. if the dca really clicked with you as a character, it's kind of fun to imagine what it would be like to hang out with them. what if they were your friend? what if they were more?

which leads to my last point--cringe is dead and we stomped on its corpse

maybe it started with a few people drawing a y/n with the dca, and wow the art is cute! who's the cute jester character? ... is that a self-insert? huh. and then more people join in. is that allowed? yes! and the crowd cheers for it too! the right people drawing the right character dynamics at the right moment, drawing others like a moths to a strange robotic flame

ultimately, the fandom attracts so much selfship because that's the bedrock, the foundation the rest of the fandom built its home on. almost all of the common tropes and characterization have roots in selfship fic and art. the dca's popularity very much kicked off from that, and seeing other people using them as an outlet for their loneliness, friendship, romantic or sexual desires, or even just for creative character and plot setups that are only tangentially related to canon actively encouraged others to join in, in a way that could only happen while riding the funerary coattails of cringe culture

it's very much a lightning in a bottle fandom, the likes of which i doubt we'll see again for a while
