As a white guy who absolutely was on the alt-right pipeline; Women have no responsibility for the existence of that.

The pipeline starts at being raised with media created by MEN who depict women as lesser, as prizes to be won for being "the manliest". It is the hard baked "men don't feel feelings like women" encoded into everything we consume, the normalization of bullying other boys for crying. The pipeline is reinforced by other boys trying to live up to the horrible role models propped up before us and competing to be the biggest and toughest by metrics that devalue creativity, empathy, and emotional intelligence.

The pipeline seems inescapable because you don't really know you're in it until you aren't, and even then it requires the self awareness to look around you and see what's going on. And that is on the individual.

I don't know how to dismantle it. To be honest, I am not entirely sure how I escaped. But I know who built it and maintains it, and I know that one of the mechanisms by which it is reinforced is the blaming of women. If feminists are blamed for the pipeline then that eases the way by ramping over one of the largest impediments to its continuation.

#I just wanted to say my piece #oh and if you are a pipeline escapee and you are blaming feminists you might still be in it #so do some goddamn introspection and pull your head out of your ass

missed the mark by (looks at calendar) uhhh. hm. but I really wanted to do something for the 5th anniversary! happy five years to these idiots 🎉

#art #twisted wonderland #twst 5th anniversary #i'll stop for a while now i promise i just wanted to get this out #genuinely feels a bit weird to be 5 years in already huh!#that combined with having finally finished up episode 7...#oh no all the milestones hit at once help #hold on while i reminisce for a moment #because MAN i did not expect the anime disney boy game to become so special to me #(especially my little wet rat dragon and his family)#to be fair 2020 onward was uhhh let's say prime timing for a piece of silly and unapologetically indulgent media #(not to get too real here or anything but let's just say that. some of the stuff in 7 specifically did hit a bit harder than it should've.)#but also just. you know how it goes.#sometimes a thing doesn't so much speak to you as it reaches out and grabs you by the throat #with an intensity that shocks and bewilders no one more than you #and sure you can ignore it because having any emotions about media beyond faint scorn is of course the epitome of ~cringe~#but you could also just throw yourself wholeheartedly into it #and lemme tell you one of those options is a hell of a lot more fun #idk i'm just kinda rambling here #it's been a weird five years but i'm glad to have had these guys for it #and hey if nothing else it gave us meleanor #the inside of my brain at any given point is just the 'do it for her' meme covered in pictures of our late great dragon princess #i would not have it any other way

#fanart #yugioh #seto kaiba #i feel like i have so much to say about this drawing but my brain is empty after posting it on twitter and IG..#i based this on a stock photo of some blonde kid challenging an evil version of himself to a game of chess #also i feel like i could definitely come back to fine tune the rendering in some parts #and i'm not sure if i'm entirely convinced by the palette of the final piece..#i got impatient like i normally do and just wanted to post xD #i will probably revisit this in the future for colour adjustment and rendering touch ups

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

#simon says #i love learning so much and I hate the USA's college debt system #once they make that shit free I will be unstoppable #this topic sprung up because I had the idea that im very academic and annoyingly analytical that I might as well get a degree in it #because without a degree you just seem like an autistic asshole #but with a degree? then you look like a CREDIBLE autistic asshole #don't worry I will still learn but I still want that funky piece of paper to tell everyone I learnt it #also there's some things that are VERY difficult to learn #like I would love to persue this topic further but unfortunately I would need help with that #also before you say 'try taking [blank] classes instead! it's less expensive than a degree!' im broke #my only learning resource is the library sorry about that #also this is not the post to give me unwarranted financial advice #finances are one of the topics I DO NOT care about and I WILL NOT listen to a word you say

ive read a bunch of fics where luffy is the one to kick it at marineford and its always made me wonder about sabo... he's gotta inherit someone's will, right. so. the next conclusion would be... gum gum fruit at the dressrosa colosseum

#listen i KNOW #that the gum gum fruit is basically destined for luffy #if he died it probably wouldnt. reappear until luffy returns to the world #so REALISTICALLY. sabo wouldnt be able to get his hands on it #BUT WE CAN PRETEND!!!#the solulu is delulu or whatever the kids say #i just wanted to draw sabo with his brothers fruits okaaay #my art #one piece #alternate universe #au #sabo #nika

After doing some research on the types of pets people had in ancient Greece, I'd like to imagine that Helen is the sort of person who has a whole menagerie of birds — and she loves each and every one of them very, very much.

It fits well with her being good at mimicry, you know. Talking and imitating and singing with her beloved birds 💜

Close up under the read more:

I had to include that one necklace from the minoan 'saffron goddess' fresco because it's my favourite thing Ever

#helen of sparta #greek mythology #greek myth art #tagamemnon #birds #this started as a helen with birds drawing. then turned into a chance to put helen in mycenaean accurate clothing.#and THEN turned into a sort of hades game art study/sprite because playing with half lineart + half rendering is just too much fun #speaking of fun: I really enjoyed making this!! Once I got a bit experimentative it really came together. I'm happy with the outcome! ^w^#choosing what birds and how many was a challenge... in my mind Helen has dozens of birds and all sorts of species. truly a crazy bird lady.#but I decided to focus on a few for this. maybe another time i'll make a piece with a ridiculous amount of birds for fun >:) hehe #I cant remember the source but I know I read somewhere that people would specifically train magpies to say hello/greet guests #and I love that little factoid (and love magpies very much) so that was an immediate choice for me to feature here.#I also love doves and goldfinches. goldfinches sound so delightful and stand out so they were my 'songbird' choice.#and I'd like to imagine that one specific dove snuggles up on helen's shoulder all the time <3 #the only bird that's truly missing here is an indian ringneck parrot (which I initially wanted to put on the shoulder but changed my mind)#so if you're like me and watch too many parrot videos. just know helen has one of them that can't stop talking and posing lmao #capri_art

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
