I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

#not art #been on the mind a lot. you are not immune to propaganda and neither am i dot garfield etc etc #for filtering:#ableism #racism #fatphobia #transphobia #transmisogyny #if i see one more 'this character from old show is so hashtag gender!!' and its just a transmisogynistic caricature im gonna lose it #and yes i do unfollow people for that. regrettably some sites show me things from strangers

couldnt draw my thang for mid-autumn so treated myself to a calne redesign instead

#calne ca #hatsune miku #VOCALOID #cw: body horror #<- And I Fucking Mean That We Are Not Fucking Around Today #well we are. as in I drew this as a fuckaround treat for myself #but the body horror tag is the most warranted its ever been on this blog #ask to tag #I am as ever on my journey to make calne ca Worse. her OG version is too cool. even the crab ver is too cool #I need her to be worse to look at. I am also getting myself into to mood to test my hand at boarding a pmv for my friend's cover #I think my thought for this was ''I should try and give her a more insectoid bodyplan''#which in this mostly means gently three-part body and six limbs (my favourite amount of limbs to draw rn)#actually almost gave her eight but didnt like how that silhouette came out so I mermaided her uh. abdomen I guess #though maybe next time I do this I should push that idea more. the head and torso are still very distinct for one unified part #I feel like one of my old attempts was onto something with like. a more horizontal body plan... well! live and learn etc #happy late mid autumn I guess. I should play with touys about it... I miss model kits. mayhaps...

actually I will say something about this:

setting up a romance line but waiting until one of the actors is a freshly legal adult before executing it is creepy, actually, especially when the co-star is 15 years older

#i am exactly 10 years older than aiden so i can tell you that shits weird #the umbrella academy #apparently aiden was 19 kissing a 34 year old actress just to clarify (ps 18-20 year olds are NOT minors either don't get it twisted)#just cause it's legal doesn't mean it's not weird for producers to do that #yes it's acting but that's an excuse hollywood loves to use when putting young actors in scenes with much older actors #also muting this now cause i'm not even in this fandom

i wanted to try drawing older Mabel and Dipper !

#gravity falls #mabel pines #dipper pines #artists on tumblr #tbob #not gonna lie im not too sold on these designs so i may change things later if i ever wanna draw them again #i was looking at their old character designs and concept art for inspiration #mabel lowkey looks like a fashion mess but! i think its in character so whatevvsss #also firm believer that they both have glasses. mabel doesnt wear contacts bc she likes fun frames + contacts are too uncomfortable for her #dipper doesnt wear contacts because hes too busy for contacts and he can never put them in right #also took some insp from kristen schaal. alex hirsch. ariel hirsch. jason ritter for them too #also. i know dipper is shown to be a STEM-y kid but i firmly am a believer hes a STEM enjoyer in the service of art. like the fanfiction #writer thats studies physics or chemistry to get a certain detail right or something. or the entire futurama writers room lol #like i do think he wants to make documentaries or shows abt the supernatural or whatever #and mabel helps out with the adventuring :)#kind of like buzzfeed unsolved in the golden era of youtube #turtlearts

did yall know cricut put a metal strip in the back of their newer Maker 3 that doesn't do anything except pop out after like six months of regular use and force you to call customer service so they can tell you to replace the machine

well they did and instead of calling them and replacing an entire functional fucking machine you can just cut the bar out and put tape over what's left

fuck offfff,

#why are you so mad all the time aria #i don't know probably because i am trying to run a business in 2024 where all my options are absolute dogshit proprietary equipment #anyway this one is new less than a year old and this is the SECOND thing that's broken on it #lee Inherited my old one #that printed thousands of stickers and other shit and is still functioning perfectly to cut fabric for them #this is the exact same model but With New Upgrades :)#because my old one ran so long they don't make it any more #i'm so irritated today jfccccc

yo dudes so i'm currently making a tma book for my friend!

it's basically the tma wiki but in book form :)

(highly inspired by what pricklypearviking on reddit did just much less cool)

current status: i run out of printer toner and im in pain so decided to share this to pass the time

#hope you enjoy this very unprofessional piece of bookbinding bc i am #the magnus archives #tma #tmagp #tma podcast #bookbinding #its so fun btw but requires more patience than i originally expected #we're both nerds so that's what she's getting for bday cheers #yes the cover is recycled from an old canon sketchbook and painted over with acrylics bc i very much lack real bookbinding equipment #diy projects

Being on the nostalgia train this week really helped stretching my artistic legs again. So here, have some old things and some new! For now I'm done with this.

#naruto #team 7 #kakashi hatake #dai nana han #listen I seldomly think about naruto but when I do it is only with a fix it mindset so there is always time travel involved #this was fun! overpainting old things is always the most easy for me if I haven't drawn in months #but I am also done with posting that stuff because one. made me draw other things two. there are some.. dedicated naruto fans #and I look into my ask box and go 'haha - hell no'#which kinda does kill the joy #which is WEIRD because isn't it old by now?? shouldn't things be... less intense ppfpfpf #on the other hand I got some lovely comments and stuff so <3 #thank you alllll

Obi-Wan's apprenticeship with Qui-Gon is a horse girl movie but they both think the other person is the horse.

#qui gon: i am retired but reluctantly took this 'problem' foal in after some convincing and am slowly seeing his overlooked potential #obi wan: i am gently coaxing this old jaded beat up horse back to the ranch with power of love so that i can win the tournament with him #obi wan kenobi #qui gon jinn #qui gon and obi wan #star wars
