trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

#the same thing happens with black people #black people are everywhere! especially online! black gay and black trans people!#but when your community is suspiciously devoid of them then theres something wrong and you need to acknowledge it #even if its not intentional you need to think about how theres minority groups who do not feel safe around you at face value #this is why loud and outright support and solidarity is so important #black people and trans people and etc minority groups will assume you are unsafe unless you explicitly state otherwise #you can't just sit there and say 'well they didnt approach us so its not our fault for not including them!'#like did you TRY to get them to approach you??#cy texts

cant stop thinking about when the strawhats were having sandwiches for breakfast and Law was like I HATE BREAD so sanji served rice cakes especially for him

#he is such an elegant and gracious host #this is why you are allowed to throw rocks at people who hate on sanji btw #im sorry i dont make the rules this is how its supposed to be #my cute sweet perfect angel sanji u mean everything to me #one piece sanji #black leg sanji #vinsmoke sanji #kuroashi no sanji #sanji #trafalgar law #lawsan #the lawsan crumbs #one piece

me in big fandoms: oh cool, it's so active and there's so many people to vibe with, this is amaz-

*finds my niche angle that appeals to approximately six people*

me: okay, folks, it's you and me now

#doctor who #shaun temple #doctor x donna #donna noble #fourteen x donna #doctordonna #fourteendonna #donna x shaun #this used to be how romantic doctordonna felt back in the day #but now it's wanting to know why shaun is how shaun is #like why are you THAT chill with all this #what life experiences have led you to this place #and where the lines where he would actually get frustrated with the doctordonna shenanigans are #coming up with a reason is more interesting than just blaming it on a flaw in the writing #though that absolutely may be what it is #why he can seem a bit flat #because rtd does not have a great history with black characters #for the record #i respect the different takes #mostly #but i always seem to do this with something #and overall i think donna might have a more complicated time adapting to the new situation than either shaun or the doctor #but let's not reduce shaun to a cardboard cutout

mourning black and the death of ideals

#i haven't moved on from this yet. btw. i'm still here #finally decided to draw the thought i've been ruminating over for days on end bc it's like a parasite eating away my brain #stated this on the initial post i made days ago but there's just smt so gut wrenching and sickening #about how dazai will have worn black exactly twice in his life: once as a member of the mafia and now at kunikida's funeral #a color that initially signified devotion to the mafia and his demon prodigy alias now signifies his grief #him having to wear black again at the funeral of another doomed fatalist who chose his heart over his survival. his own partner.#kunikida's death being so reminiscent of the tragedy that initially caused him to defect and flee #and everything tying together full circle and effectively breaking him #asagiri rly said fuck knkdz it's doppover we lost gang 😭😭😭#why did bro leave that fucking notebook behind #fool. do you know that angst potential you have left me to work with?#love never won in bsd. it lay dead and festering #i don't know how much longer i can keep saying i miss them. i'm going to kill myself if he doesn't come back #i've never wanted something to be death bait so desperately #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #kunikidazai #knkdz #kunizai #(??? technically. its implied anyway)#lotus draws

” Am I not right to weep? O my children, cursed children of a hateful mother - ”

#medea #my art #cw blood #cw mild nudity #euripides medea #greek tragedy #greek theatre #this play is Female Rage by excellence #hmm yes the blood of her sons on her face hands breasts and belly the parts of her body that her children knew the most yes indeed #im really proud of this #:)#lots of symbolism here #the red shawl is her hate while the black one is a mourning blanket #it's dwarfed by her heartbreak which enveloped her whole and bears no blood bc it's already red #her eyes are golden like Circe's who's her kinswoman #the handle of the dagger is Jason who isn't explicitly wounded by her but drove her hand (the blame of the murders actually befalling him)#<that's why it's not bloodied unlike the blade which was used to hurt #her tear washed down the blood on her cheek representing her being absorbed of her crime by both the gods and her grief #on the mural behind her is Medea enchanting the dragon while Jason steals the Golden Fleece #and above (right) is Hera and Iris and (left) Helios in his chariot #with female chorus masks lamenting Medea's crime like the chorus in the play #the pose and expression are inspired by the poster for Médée by Mucha for the Théâtre de la Renaissance starring Sarah Bernhardt #overall proud of this #i think women deserve to go a little mad and violent when they're angry. as a treat #anyway thanks Euripides for the 500bc feminism

Anyone who knows me knows that my two hyperfixations are bats (the animals) and the Bats (the superheroes), and in my opinion, more oft should the two meet in twain! Anyways, this presentation is my magnum opus and I've run out of real-life people to foist it upon, so please enjoy.

Kiss Kiss Fallen Tree!

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Sorry to everyone who was looking forwards to this comic only to find out I put WWX in the ugliest outfit.#Continuity came first. Plus let's be honest; he did *not* show up in anything fancy. Or in all black as seen in most fanart.#We are at the middle of WWX depression arc. His self-care was 100% because Jin Yanli would be sad if he didn't try to look nice.#Okay okay. Fine I've delayed talking about the kiss long enough.#It is absolutely a core LWJ scene over a WWX scene. Which is made even more fascinating because we don't get his POV.#But we get so many insights! His loss of control and his firmness all contrasted against how he trembles.#And all of that wrapped up in a wonderful self-loathing bow! You go Lan Zhan! You hated yourself so much for this!#WWX is a hilarious narrator for this because he is truly just...baffled by what's going on.#He would push the person away but he doesn't want to hurt their feelings or pride (putting other people first again are we?)#I do understand why this one is divisive for people though. I choose to look at it through a character/humourous lens.#I've seen people defend and admonish this scene as a particularly shitty thing LWJ did and let's be very clear here: It was.#That's why I like it. LWJ did a shitty thing and struggles with it. It's part of what makes him so robust as a character.#It's also fine if you enjoy this scene for it's eroticism. You're not a bad person for that. You are just A Person.#People will have their own experiences with this topic. Be kind to each other alright?

Frank talks about his favorite meme!

Frank Iero: Pass that around. (giggle) It's kinda.. it's fuckin genius. I don't know why it was ever made (laughter) I know, it's so good. I mean, I do see a lot of weird things that are made with my fucking weird mug on them. This one, caught me so off guard and made me laugh so hard. This is a picture of me from fucking 2001 or something looking scraggly as fuck in what I imagine is like a supermarket or CVS feminine hygiene aisle and the captions or the, yknow, the text says "aight babe, i'm in the pad aisle what pussy size do u wear"

x

#frank iero #this meme is canon #casual interactions podcast: episode 9 - who's afraid of the big black bat?!?#mcr memes #my chemical romance #bullets era #why is he so fuckin hilarious for liking this #frank iero meme #mcr #bullets frank #meme #what pussy size do you wear #interviews

Everyday I exist and every day I get more and more exhausted seeing the “lol Batman looks at Danny and goes “who’s gonna adopt this kid” He’s so adoptable!” posts.

#bones rants #bones speaks #dpxdc #bones writes in the tags #i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again #GIVE AN ACTUAL REASON FOR BRUCE TO WANT TO ADOPT DANNY!#this man had seen thousands of black hair and blue eyed kids in misfortunate situations and with backstories parallel to his own #so why is Danny the exemption and is the person he puts under his (bat)wing #make a reason and make it compelling. I understand forwarding a plotline to get to the scene you envisioned #but making a character one dimensional ain’t it man.#always ask why Danny is the exemption to the other thousands of kids who could’ve gone under Bruce’s wing. Bruce is a very paranoid person #and doesn’t bring people into his inner circle easily. offering a complete stranger a room in his home could happen #maybe he then relates to Danny and wants to help him with his need for Justice #and THEN adopts him but man oh man. look at all of the robins adoptions.#that shit wasn’t willy nilly and it had actual weight behind the adoptions

While the extent to which dot and bubble handled its racism themes well is something I cant comment on due to the fact my skin tone is approximately the same as a sickly raw chicken, I do think it was a ballsy ass move that I do really like to have the Episode Where We Confront The Doctor Is BlackTM be set in the future rather than the past.

#doctor who #doctor who spoilers #dot and bubble #my only comment i feel like i can make is that i wish they got a black co writer #i get why they might want rtd to be a writer here. its kinda important in terms of his choice as show runner #but like just get a black co writer to make sure guys #or director. just something

I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.

Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.

And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.

#Picturing Sqq sweetly calling lbh a little lamb 🥺#Him calling lbh a sheep never felt quite right but LAMB???#And lbh following him around all bright and gangly and moon eyed ToT #Did you know the phrase originates from the wool of black sheep being much harder to dye and thus being undesirable in the wool industry?#That's why sheep are white and not like. Tan or brown or w/e like more natural colours.#But the black fur gene still pops up sometimes so you get white wool parents and siblings and a tiny black lamb trotting along #Who's wool you can never sell and who can't risk having offspring of their own #Also where the baa baa black sheep rhyme comes from! The wool was often sold at a very cheap price because it was so undesirable!#Ngl if someone called me their lamb idk what I'd do. Something desperate for sure #Theyre also sometimes a symbol for Jesus especially around Easter. So. That's a. Thing. That Sqq would most certainly read far too deep int #svsss #mxtx svsss #scum villain #luo binghe #luo bingge #luo bingmei #scum villain's self saving system #scum system #bingqiu #bingyuan #Idk but considering I'm talking about their pet names I'll count it #Gosh lbh calling Sqq shepherd in response... Crook around his neck metaphor I'll go wherever you lead us my guiding star mmm #Sleepy? Yes. Right? Also yes
