Hello. I am alive.

I am growing. I am doing this damn Earth thing.

I've missed myself for so long. I've been slowly but surely coming back home to myself. I've missed me. I wanted to create more so here I am.

That is it for now.

Advice for the day: don't ever let anybody make you feel bad for being an academic and an academic nerd (especially as most of us academic nerds were once neurvous overachievers who also later turned out to be neurodivergent autistics later in life!).

But anyways, I love you, academics. The dark academics. The light academics. The punk academics. The goth academics. The emo academics. The hillbilly academics. The Appalachian academics. The leftist academics. The anarchist academics. The socialist academics. The forest academics. The ocean academics. The academics who collect tons and tons of books that they don't read. The academics who collect tons and tons of books and DO read all of them. The academics who stay up late studying for exams the next day and listen to whatever music (i.e. classical, orchestral, lo-fi, pop, metal, R&B, punk, folk, etc.) helps them concentrate. The academics who frequently spend time in solitude reading books in between hallways in their local library or bookstore. The academics who study, read books, write poetry and listen to music while taking a ride on the train. The academics who daydream and overthink. The academics who have passionate yet lively and animated debates and discussions about politics, movies, music, TV shows, books, literature, pop culture, social justice and real world issues with their friends. The academics that watch old black and white movies while drinking a cup of tea or coffee on a rainy day. The academics who spend time in botanical studies and grow their own gardens. The academics that take calm serene walks in the park and spend their time people watching or drawing art sketches. The academics that wildly run through the forests and have outdoor picnics with their friends, without a worry in the world. The academics who are theater nerds or musical nerds. Academics that live in the city. Academics that live in the country. Academics that attend community colleges. Academics that attend pretigious universities. Black academics. White academics. Asian academics. Latino academics. Jewish academics. Arab academics. Desi academics. Middle Eastern academics. Palestinian academics. Iranian academics. Native/Indigenous and Aboriginal academics. Southeast Asian academics. Romani academics. Māori academics. Poor academics. Rich academics. Working academics. Homeless academics. Academics that live in the inner city. Academics that live in the suburbs. Queer academics. Intersex academics. Autistic academics. Disabled academics. Academics who are Christian. Academics who are Hindu. Academics who are Muslim. Academics who are Catholic. Academics who are Buddhist. Academics here in the United States of America. Academics across the pond in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, etc. Academics in South America. Academics in Spain. Academics in Africa. Academics in other parts of Europe. Academics in the Middle East. Academics that were the only folks out from among their household to attend school and graduate. Academics that were bullied, disrespected, abused and picked on for being different and looked at as freaks, losers, oddballs and outcasts. Academics that fight tooth and nail to have an education in the midst of war, poverty and humanitarian crises. Academics that literally have to fight for an education while having to deal with various stumbling blocks such as financial difficulties, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, class discrimination, religious discrimination or unsupportive people. Elderly academics who went to school, got an education and graduated later in life.

To academics everywhere, whatever your race, gender, religion, socio-economic status or situation is, I love you all. From an academic nerd to other academic nerds everywhere.

Finally got around to making one of these.

[Begin Image ID]: A Comic Sans presentation about characters from a paranormal fantasy story called Apophenia. Each slide has at least two images of characters, from Picrew or art commissions.

Slide One shows the title, how to pronounce it, and has line drawings of a desert landscape with cacti and rock formations along the bottom half. There is a full moon and tiny images of stars filling the sky.

Slide Two is about the protagonist, Isaac Soto Márquez. He's a Mexican-American man in his late twenties with dark brown skin, brown eyes, curly black hair, and scars from claw marks on his back.

Slide Three is on the deuteragonist, Renato Faria Dimas. He's a Brazilian-Portuguese trans man who appears to be in his early to mid twenties. He has light tan skin, green-blue eyes, wavy black hair that's shorn close on the sides but longer on top, and a confident smile.

Slide Four is about Isaac's friend, Delfina Bosques-Rodriguez, nicknamed Elfy. She's a bubbly Puerto Rican woman in her late twenties with medium brown skin, brown eyes, and curly reddish-brown hair piled on top of her head in one Picrew, but worn down around the level of her jaw in another. She has multiple piercings in her eyebrows and ears, plus one in her septum. Her lipstick is a bright purple.

Slide Five is on Kinslayer. They're an androgynous person who could be anywhere from late twenties to late thirties, possibly of South Asian descent or a mixture that includes it. Their skin is a deep brown, eyes black, and they have a side shave with their black hair falling to one side. In one Picrew they're holding a lit cigarette; in the other they're licking their lips in a suggestive way.

Slide Six is Renato's coworker/ex, Oleander Blume. She's a goth or metalhead trans woman from Texas who appears to be in her mid to late twenties. She has light pink/white skin, blue eyes, and slightly messy blonde hair. She wears black lipstick in one Picrew. In a commissioned art piece, her mouth and hands are smeared with blood.

Slide Seven shows an antagonist, Motley. It's an undead necromancer of indeterminate age and origin. Its skin is grayish, showing stitching around patches it's added to itself. It has red eyes, sharp teeth in a sinister smile, and wears a hooded cloak.

Slide Eight is a round up of six characters who live in or are spotted around the town of Eureka, Nevada. They are as follows:

Anaru is a broad, friendly-looking Pacific Islander man in his early or mid twenties. He has medium brown skin, short wavy black hair, and a broad frame. The thresher shark silhouette by his Picrew means he's one of the local weresharks.

Tecla is a fat, butch Mexican-American woman in her late twenties to thirties. She has medium brown skin, short black hair, and a horizontal scar on her forehead above her left eyebrow. The great white shark silhouette by her Picrew means she's one of the local weresharks.

Gilda is a fat, Black Brazilian trans woman in her late twenties to thirties. Her skin is a deep, warm brown, and her short hair has been dyed purple. She has a gold nose ring that matches the small gold hoop earrings on her ears. The pick and shovel symbol by her Picrew means she's an archeologist.

Haru is a goth Japanese-American man who appears to be in his mid to late twenties. His skin is pale, and his black hair almost reaches his shoulders. He's sucking on a lollipop. The broken mirror symbol by his Picrew means he's a psychic vampire.

Breezy is a witchy/hippy Midwestern American woman in her fifties or sixties. Her light pink/tan skin has fine lines around her dark eyes and smiling mouth. Her long white hair is loosely tied back with strands escaping around her face. She's wearing a gardening glove. The witch hat near her Picrew means she's a magical practitioner.

Larry is a Black American man from Nevada in his fifties wearing a tank top with a game fish on it. His dark brown skin has lines across his forehead and around his eyes. His short black hair has thinned on top, with some still on the sides. A short, thin beard covers his jaw. The bull shark silhouette by his Picrew means he's one of the local weresharks.

That's all for Slide Eight.

Slide Nine thanks everyone for reading and lists the various Picrews used.

We're still undoing the damage done by Teen Titans 2003, I think. Jinx is another Indian sorceress from that franchise and they've really only *just* stopped whitewashing her. Starfire with afro-textured hair is still a hit or miss but with black women recently being used as a base for her visually (Zendaya, Rihanna, Anna Diop) it seems to be getting better.

Raven definitely got the worst of it though- she used to wear lehengas and saris all the time with pastel colors and actually looked Indian (Persis Khambatta, the actress she was based on, was relatively light skinned), now she's been claimed by the goth/witchy aesthetic with the purple hair and grey skin. She wears upside down pentagrams. And pants, even though I distinctly remember her hating pants and preferring skirts and dresses. She's unrecognizable- Marvel's taking measures now to fix Wanda, but DC isn't doing the same for Raven. She recently got her classic look back but I have no idea if it's sticking around.

The Jinx character in Teen Titans is so weird. This is on me, because I'm just not as much of a DC reader, but I legit believed that she was a random OC that was intended to be a Scarlet Witch knockoff. Because they give her, like, a reductive version of Wanda's hex power, and she's designed in the same 2000s goth vein as TT Raven and Evo Wanda.

But anyway, yeah, for all its merits, Teen Titans really did a number on a lot of Black and brown characters, and Raven's had it pretty rough for a long time. I was so surprised that the gender-bent version from Teen Justice was actually designed as a South Asian character with darker skin, but I was also completely unsurprised that he immediately started getting lightened and whitewashed.

I'm not totally sure how I feel about Raven's fashion choices. Her traditional clothing is important, but in the current continuity, she's a young adult who, to the extent that she's lived on Earth, mostly grew up in America. So I understand the impulse to make her feel a bit more youthful and contemporary, and I think it's possible for a character to explore different styles, especially alternative fashion, without compromising their culture and ethnicity. Obviously, the first step would be to stop drawing her like a white girl. Or a Monster High doll, for that matter. But I'm not an expert on the character-- sound off if you think I'm wrong, I guess.

July 18th is Desi and Arab Goth Representation Day and, in celebration, Uttar Pradesh, India-based darkwave act Willow Scarlet released a video for "Pishach," the first part of their new dark South Asian folklore and mythology-inspired release Veeran, which celebrates by featuring clips of various Desi and Arab goth influencers. A pishacha, the subject of the song, is a flesh-eating and blood-drinking demon in Hindu lore.

Happy World Goth Day!

South Park OC + Creek designs with headcanons!!

This is my Highschool AU of South Park so more designs might come!!

Notable headcanons for Creek:

Craig's hair is slightly longer cause he wear his hat a lot and doesn't bother cutting it.

Tucker family have some moles all over their body

Tweek was opted to wear a tank top with a jacket over it by Calista and Craig due to his difficulty of buttoning up his shirts

Tweek has some pimple marks cause he sometimes scratches his face from nervousness and makes them a little worse :[

Small info about Calista:

Calista is Craig's cousin, she's younger than him by a few months!

Becomes the person Team Stan ask advice for in place of Chef, except she hates when they ask her cause she doesn't know why her of all people and they often twist her words to suit their wants. Runs away the moment they start looking for her.

A floater friend who hangs around with almost every group in South Park high school, most notable friends are Kyle, Kenny, Token, Jimmy and Michael (Goth).

Half Asian! Cartman tries bullying her for it but ends up with his ass beat in the end for it.

She is often shipped with Kyle due to her having a lot of (Hypothetical) screen time with Kyle

She would a secret boss battle in the Stick of Truth and Snow Day

No one messes with Calista Tucker >:]

[gy4rucartman]

general goth kids hcs pt1!! henri and firkle will have their own post

michael:

The poetic one.

asian on both sides, himalayan-south asian and vietnamese mix. doesnt believe in gender, i like various hcs where hes gnc amab or afab it doesnt matter to me though i usually depict a transmasculine michael. Socially inept but has a burning desire to make more friends in an attempt to strengthen the Goth circle/community, but sucks at making new friends truthfully. autistic, schizophrenic. grows up to be a 6'6 giant that hits his head on doorways and has to hunch a lot. ace/grey and holds a secret undying love for pete but would rather cut his throat out than ever confess it. He channels it in poetry, song lyrics, and music. THE INFO DUMPER OF THE GROUP Gothness is almost a special interest to him and he knows way too much on the subject, comes off as a pretentious know it all but it comes from a genuine place of love and interest. Genuinely beautiful singing voice and a good musician. Grows up to be a professor either in theology or philosophy (so he can be a certified know it all of course). he def grows into his features as he grows up and becomes pretty beautiful as an adult, but Michael never cared for conventional standards of beauty or how he fit into it. Henrietta was Michaels first goth friend but he prior attempted to be close with those in the asian communities of south park, it didnt really work out since he was always an outsider. The only fairly close nongoth friend of his was the DDR kid from the dance off episode. Has general anger issues!!!

Pete:

the sensitive one

Japanese but he doesnt know much about his family. I like to think hes also just Japanese or mixed with something but doesnt know what that side is yet. raised by his grandparents and aunt or something, but probably has a single dad that is constantly working so he didnt spend that much time with him. Grew up very poor and romanticized simple things+older things and enjoyed daydreaming more than anything. Musically inept and sounds like a dying bird but the goths never shoot him down for it, except maybe Henrietta because shes allowed to. Visually artistic, paints surrealist/fine art pieces and makes crafts on ocassion. Insecure in his gothness and in himself and as a result he barks back the most at others. probably 5'3 forever, acne all over, nails bitten to hell, lips too, probably thin hair and kind of lost as to what he wants to do in the future--but he cooks pretty well out of survival which lands him a line cook job later on. hes a romantic and loves romantic era literature, much to everyone's ('Cept Michael..) dismay. Michael was the one to recruit him and all the goths pitched in to buy Pete new clothes and to live at least aesthetically somewhat happier than he was prior. Pete recruits Firkle later on additionally but all the goths have a hand in making sure he grows up with the right ideas. Pete doesn't necessarily have anger issues but hes deeply insecure and easy to react so he comes off as the hotheaded one in the group, when in truth Michael and Henrietta harbor far more internal anger issues.
