bruh why do i only get asked out by random men, why can't a sapphic ask me out :')

[canisalbus]

hey! do you consider yourself a furry? if so, do you enjoy being in the community? if not, what label do you use, and why? (been wanting to ask this for a while:))

Sure, I don't mind being called a furry. My art certainly qualifies as furry art and my characters are furry characters. But I've never been that connected or active in the furry fandom in general. There's a lot of core experiences that I'm missing: I don't have a fursona, I don't own a fursuit and I've never been to a furry con. My online circles are very furry-centric but I don't think any of my irl friends consider themselves furries, despite our shared tastes and interests.

sex averse/repulsed culture is being the one bitch on tumblr who doesn't listen to chappell roan

Would it be weird to say that I would want to breed with Bubba Sawyer? Like… No lie, would love to become the mama of his kids. He’s just so hot… and he’s a good dad type, too. The setup is perfect there. 😮‍💨🥰

hmm what a nuanced take, I wonder what Georgians themselves think about "selling the country to the EU"

by Talos this can't be happening

HEART

It wouldn't be a stretch to call them 'self-obsessed', but not necessarily in a negative way. They simply want to understand the one thing we all are stuck with for our entire lives, i.e. our own minds. Forging an identity is extremely important to the Heart-bound, and every decision and action goes toward building a coherent narrative of their own story.

RAGE

They posses great contempt for lies or false ideas, including the stability that false ideas can impart. To them, the true is far more important than the good; they would tear down a system just to destabilize it if, by their reckoning, it is built on faulty premises. Often the Rage-bound prefer anarchy to any of the alternate forms of civilization, which they believe to be riddled with lies and foolishness and obedient masses.

LIGHT

They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake . . . The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds.

Question to non-crocheters:

Can you notice how many different stitch types are in this?

I ask because I'm using different stitches for certain parts of my tallit to stand out, but I'm curious how noticable it is to a relatively untrained eye, since I feel other crocheters might have a leg up over you - if you see any differences, I'm curious what you see!

watching lots of videos abt horror in my free time and i noticed smth interesting. american horror very much follows the "if you do bad things/make irrational decisions, you will get hurt" rule, while japanese horror tends to not care about who the victim of the monster is - you can be a perfect person who's never done anything wrong, you can do everything in your power to avoid the monster, but you'll still get hurt

i think it's an interesting thing to study. I'd love to hear abt horror in other places around the world and what sort of rules they follow, and compare and try to figure out where they came from

i may be wrong, but it's easy to assume that the american rule of horror - do bad things and bad things will happen to you - is very christian. there's other things like leftovers from the hays code (like having sex means you'll die later, for example) but these are usually more abt specific actions, while i'm talking more generally now. i think it's affected by the whole fear of hell, obviously - if you do things right, you get to go to heaven, you get to escape the torment. and even non-christians are affected by these ideas bc this is just what american culture is like.

i can't speculate much abt the japanese rule (or rather, the lack of rules in that regard) bc i'm not as exposed to japanese culture and history as i am to american culture, but i will say, on a personal level, this is way more scary to me 😳 for obvious reasons.

also ngl it can get annoying to hear american youtubers try to analyze japanese horror and fight for their life to find Wrong things the protagonists do in order to justify their torment. i swear they end up demonizing the most mundane shit 😭

hi hello hi! long-time canisalbus lover here. I saw your IG bio and I thought to ask for clarity, what’s your stance on tattoo commissions when they open? as in a unique piece with your full consent & knowledge. sorry if this has already been answered and I missed it! hope you’ve had a great day & give Machete and Vasco some rubs for me

If it's a tattoo commission made specifically for you, then of course you're free to use it as intended!

I'm not against my art being used as tattoos per se, but it makes me uncomfortable when people tattoo my personal art without my consent. And as it stands, almost every piece I make and post is personal art, most of it depicts my original characters as well.

one of these days i'm going to write up all that i've changed from azzarello's bullshit era and the one (1) piece i've kept from milligan (and also changed) and the only thing currently stopping me is that it is going to be so, so inside-baseball incomprehensible. and i almost never want to go reading/screencapping azzarello and milligan to add references but i Want to add references.

canon is goop, just know that we continue to ride the bus down "hellblazer ended at #250 and looks like swiss cheese before that" street.

I'm pretty sure my experiences haven't changed from when I last asserted my identity labels but my view kinda has I guess

My dad, jokingly: "I'm badman"

Me: "haha sure" (not thinking he's anything like batman)

My dad: *left/ separated from my mum when I was a teen, started a GTA gang that helps bullied kids, ended up emotionally adopting like 8 kids and helped them through bullying, suicide, abuse, etc.*

Me: *was hurt by an abuser and had to deal with said abuser being forgiven by family around me*

Me: *gets into Batman lore*

Me: ...

"Wait a second..."

if i see/hear one more person refer to taurus as a “masculine sign” or “the masculine side of venus” i am going to explode into a thousand pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!! LITERALLY OBJECTIVELY INCORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS AN EARTH SIGN RULED BY VENUS AND THE PLACE OF EXALTATION FOR THE MOON IT IS MOTHER GAIA IT IS LITERALLY THE FIRST FEMININE SIGN OF THE ZODIAC WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your perception of what femininity means has become so warped and rotten due to social conditioning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to be sturdy and stable and stubborn in your ways and to have a strong desire to care for and pamper yourself and fill your own cup FIRST so you can nourish others RESPONSIBLY & SUFFICIENTLY and to have a practical approach to your nurturing nature and to be blunt with your boundaries and to be STRONG IS SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FEMININE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM BEGGING YOU TO REALISE THIS PLEASE

it really truly does have the same connotations to it as when people nowadays call fat women / hairy women “unfeminine” (which is obviously untrue), when this was absolutely not at all how people viewed womanhood in history, and stems from a much more ‘modern’ mindset that’s a direct result of our current social climate. fat + having volume to one’s body used to be seen as a clear indicator of good health and feminine fertility (nourishment => a very taurian trait!) and body hair was literally just so normal (being natural => another trait heavily linked to taurus!!!)

taurus, and every single one of the characteristics connected to the sign/archetype, is feminine >:I

i think one of the best things you can do in terms of how you see the world is trying your best to unlearn classifications that place humans into a binary

X is Y therefore Z can not be Y is something that can only limit thinking and, frankly, cause harm

that's not to say that you can't think certain things apply to one group and not another, but the idea that it necessarily needs to be so should be examined if only to see why that might be
