To me, the biggest difference between comic Wallace and Anime Wallace is that Comic Wallace is like a normal guy who (imo) is very obviously still just a 25 year old making stupid decisions and working in shitty jobs and barely getting by, and he just looks more competent when standing next to massive boy-failure Scott (and because hes sassy and carefree). and Anime Wallace is beloved by the universe, so he just gets an acting job for being Wallace, with 5 stunt doubles (that he bargained for with a lawyer Comic Wallace probably could never afford. Seriously, where did he get that money??? Did he seduce a lawyer???????) and a millionaire husband, and lives in a millionaire mansion where he drinks all day and never has to work again. And like good for him, I guess? Slay.

In our current society (in North America and much of the western world) we can't completely avoid capitalism, but with some work and dedication we can reduce how much we have to participate in it.

Building community is hard, and it often requires a lot of up front investment in time and energy before you start seeing returns on that investment. I know not everyone is in a place where they can make those expenditures without getting anything back right away which is why it's even more important for those of us who can to start building sooner rather than later.

When you have a healthy, thriving community of people you can start withdrawing yourself more and more from reliance on a broken capitalist system. Yes there's mutual aid within a community but what's even more exciting to me is the option of participating in a barter/trade economy because it's so often more empowering for disabled folks and other marginalized groups that struggle in a capitalist economy.

And even more importantly than that, it's how we can survive a political landscape that is openly hostile to us. It's as impossible to avoid the fallout of the current political situation as it is to avoid participating in a capitalist economy, but being part of a strong and healthy community can at least help mitigate some of the harmful effects.

Neighbours sharing produce from their gardens can lessen the chances of food-borne illness as a result of lax food safety regulations.

Creating, maintaining, and sharing resources that help marginalized groups can help protect vulnerable people in your area when the larger resources are being dismantled or when people acting in bad faith are pretending to be a helpful organization.

Communities have more leverage (and resources) when it comes time to put pressure on local government to make progressive changes

As communities grow, empathy and compassion for the people in the community also spreads and that can help create allies against the bigotry and prejudice some of the community members face. When you're in community together with someone it's harder to depersonalize them. They aren't [insert oppressed group] member, they're the person who walks your dog and brings you beets in exchange for piano lessons, or the person who loaned you a spare tire so you could go to work and when you got home that evening they'd fixed your flat tire for free because they had the time and some spare material laying around from a repair they did on their own tire.

It's going to be really easy to give in to despair in the coming months and I'm not going to lie and say you can survive it. Some folks won't. I'm not going to lie and promise if you can make it through that things will get easier, they might not!

But if you can hang on I can promise you there's a chance things will get better, and I can promise you there's a whole heck of a lot of us out there trying to make sure it does get better. I can promise you that building community will help you survive when things start getting harder, and I can promise you that community can be a beacon of light in dark times, a bastion of hope in a desert of despair.

I know you're tired and I'll understand if you can't keep fighting, but I really hope you've got enough resilience left to hang on long enough to find a community to be part of.

whoahghmm..... home and im so tuckered out

[xcziel]

literally the only thing really stopping me from planning a flight is that if i go, i'll want to be there a while and i can't fit enough into only one suitcase

from experience, traveling with two suitcases is a pain, but also i need more space than one suitcase it is a dilemma

Geneuary Day Four: Sunshine/Rainbow

Oh my goshhh, when did we get to Day Four of Geneuary already?? I don’t think I’ll be able to recover once it’s over, I’ll be so sad 😭 But at least I’ve still got my birthday in February to look forward to, and then See More Seymour’s Bay week in early March.

Anyway, have Gene in a super huge, complicated, and colorful dress that I like to think Alexis designed for him. I really wanted to go for an almost abstract, painterly style for this piece.

[ID]: Digital fanart of Gene from Bob's Burgers. His eye is closed in a contemplative expression and he has a couple of visible eyelashes. He is wearing a complex, colorful dress with a lot of layers, with the main colors being purple, blue, and red. It's very poofy and sticks out a bit on the right. One of his hands is visible and held up, but curled into a bit of a fist. His hair is swooped around his face and is colored to look like a rainbow. A butterfly and several flower petals surround him.

Well, see now I'm just

fucking upset about Solar Flare too.

This

ROBOT

because that's what he was, an entity guided solely by his programming, to protect Killcode, who had begun to experience sentience. He's not an animatronic, he's a body with programming who's controlled by his directives that has only just begun to understand life. and maybe, MAYBE he understood, maybe it was more than just code at the end. The way he talked, he had a deeper understanding beyond what his programming told him, you know? But he was still driven by his code.

Solar Flare who, from his introduction on the 6th of February to his first 'death' on the 8th of March, was around for a little over a month.

Solar Flare, who was presumed dead by most, all the way up until it was revealed he had sunk his claws into living because of his one purpose on June 17th, THREE MONTHS AFTER HIS 'DEATH'.

Solar Flare whose introduction episode was prefaced with a message addressing how people didn't like all the new characters. THAT was his introduction, THAT was what he was paired with.

Solar Flare who appeared in only THREE episodes before he was killed the first time, and SIX OVER THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. Who had the same amount of fucking screen time as fucking GARBAGE GUY.

A character who is, arguably, one of the least important on the show. Created as a tool for someone else, and treated like an enemy by most everyone

IS THE ONE WHO ULTIMATELY HAD THE LARGEST PART TO PLAY IN KILLING WHAT IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERS ON THE SHOW.

And in doing so, he sacrificed himself. He knew he would die.

And he FUCKING

accepted it. Gently. No fighting. A character who had only just begun to experience life and self, graciously accepted it was his time and attempted to get Eclipse to accept it as well. He tried to give Eclipse a sort of peace in the end, as well.

I just...

Fuck.

'Do you think it hurts?'

'We cannot feel pain.'

'Goodbye Eclipse. It is time for us to go.'

Hi there, cake :D

You don’t understand how long i wanted to ask you this, but how on earth did you get so good at drawing robots??? Like the way you draw v1 and v2 and sometimes other machines are just so ✨✨✨✨ Like i rly wanna try and get good at drawing machines but y’know,,, they’re hard :( So i was just wondering if you had tips or suggestions on how to get good at robots :]

Also, I would ask a million billion questions about your interpretations of the Ultrakill cast or the Fallen au, but everyone else stole the cool questions already ;u;

I just really enjoy your interpretation of both Gabriel and v1 ,,

-🌟

waauauuughghghgh thank you so much!!!! i will say upfront that i'm self-taught, so i might not have the best tips or the right technique, but i can tell you what works for me personally!! honestly i didn't really draw robots/machines like this before getting into ultrakill, with a lot of my art before this centered on human characters. but really, when you look at how v1/v2 are structured, they're not that different from humanoid anatomy, especially once you remove their wingpacks. so honestly? when i rough in v1/v2, i just rough in a regular human shape for the most part because that comes much more naturally to me as an artist. additionally, i don't try to make myself use sharp angles and hard lines - some artists are INCREDIBLE at making them look super machine-like and industrial with particular attention to their proper mechanics which i absolutely love aesthetically and greatly admire, but i'm no good at it! so i use much more organic lines and skirt the rules of how a robot would be able to move and bend. like if you look at a lot of my pieces closely, you can see that i'll bend their hands in a way that doesn't square with hard metal, or i have their arms positioned in a way their construction wouldn't seem to allow. so i think of them and draw them actually much more like an evangelion with flexible bodies and organic shapes.

and since visuals would help a lot here, i do have a couple older asks detailing how i draw the head and body for v1/v2 - i've changed my style a bit since then, but the steps are exactly the same as i draw them now! heads are here and bodies are here!

ladies and gays,

I have officially applied to go back to a university. I’m so nervous but mostly excited!!

please let this be a sign that you should go after what you wanna do in life even if it seems “small”. let that small thing be a ripple effect and make moves. the time will pass anyway so why not make yourself happy while you’re here? 🩷

Played a bit of Metal Gear Rising today, a game I haven't played in over a year now, and it has been an experience. Going back to replay stuff I've done a thousand times over with fresh eyes I just notice so much more I initially glazed over, from catching tiny nuances in dialogue that inform the broader character arcs, to little subtle movements in cutscenes. I had a massive fixation on this game in 2023, by now I think it's mellowed enough that it is behind me, but I think I will always have a special place in my heart for it. It's so delightfully cheesy and dramatic while still having such a surprisingly compelling plot and memorable characters. Metal Gear Rising was what got me into Metal Gear as a whole and it's been fun rediscovering why I loved it so much. It's not perfect, not particularly long but man it changed something about my brain chemistry.
