I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."

I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.

Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.

Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.

#anyway this is just more of that lefty shit where 'well i can't be racist because i'm gay!'#'well i can't be media illiterate because i love villains!'#not how that works babes #'well I KNOW bad from good so i can't be affected by media!'#'everyone else also knows bad from good and defines it the exact way i do!'#'so if i think this is bad then the author must also think this is bad!'#i have bad news ....#also how do you know bad from good? who taught you that? hmm?#did you fall out of the womb knowing? or did you pick up some things on the way here?#'i just know' no you don't! that's what i'm saying!#assuming one thing is always true is the opposite of being a conscious consumer of media soz #assuming someone thinks and knows the exact same shit you think and know is not media literacy!!

Edwin after the confession is a menace

Bonus Charles being normal about it:

#payneland #edwin x charles #dead boy detectives #dbda #give a man a warning Edwin smh #what is he doing anyway? is it on purpose? he just can't help himself now thta he accepted his feelings? he just likes saying it?#not even he know methinks #honestly charles should hear how loved he is often #i think edwin would agree #also I think it would be funny if they had to deal with a specific kind of creature at least once a year #i picked the church grim because there truly are a lot of stories about them #and it felt fitting

Social anxiety level: Chatting with someone experiencing a schizophrenic episode and becoming increasingly self-concious of how I'm just saying "That sounds really stressful", "I've never heard of that but it sounds scary", and "You must be pretty worried about that" over and over again

#They needed someone to wait with them while their friend came to pick them up #And the whole time I was waiting for them to call bullshit #Like YOU HAVENT SAID ANYTHING MEANINGFUL YOURE SO BAD AT THIS #I'm sorry I'm making this one about me ma'am I'm just terrified that everyone I talk to is gonna give be a bad grade #I don't understand or beleive most of what you're saying but from the legit science you're quoting I can tell you've done some research #The research stuff I appreciate we can totally talk about that #Please God let me talk about Chordata or HTML instead of the thing I can't see or hear wouthout encouraging your delusion #I'd get SUCH a good grade at discussing invertebrates with you

the dialogue choices in this game should be more diabolical

#i love akechi but i sometimes i wish you could bully him like no matter which dialogue u pick it sounds like ur flirting back w him #“i'm going to be completely honest with you. i've always hated you” why can't u say smt unserious back #like “sorry i have a snatched waist and correct opinions on everything.” or like “ur loss lmao”#hate playing darts with this bitch bc i play on a steamdeck and i don't have a fucking gyroscope so like #it's trying to replicate how the joycons or pro controller would throw AND ITS SUCKS SO BAD #like i just see akechi get a hat trick every single fucking time with three bulls in a row and meanwhile im struggling to line the thing up #and then after u finish he's like “hmm i see. that's an interesting way to play it” WHAT THE FUCK THERES LITERALLY NO STRATEGY HERE SMARTAS #I JUST MISSED. IM NOT STRATEGIZING. THERES NOTHING “INTERESTING” ABOUT IT.#i hate going to penguin snipers so much i hope i can get this stupid game on switch so i can actually rank up akechi's baton pass #and not waste like 1000 yen every night bc i refuse to not let a party member be on rank 3 #akechi fuck yourself why can't we play 501 like we do with everyone else. why do u have to make everything abt this stupid rivalry #im gonna kms i hate akeci and i hate darts #persona 5 #persona 5 royal #p5 #p5r #goro akechi #ren amamiya #akira kurusu #shuake #akeshu #lotus draws

love fics where Danny ends up in the DC universe & every alarm goes off at once & the magic users are like "yeah that's the most powerful being in the universe & also possibly super evil we are FUCKED fucked" & the Justice League is freaking tf out trying to find this thing that casually tore a hole in reality & it just cuts to Danny (Fenton) standing in the background blissfully unaware & like "man my life sucks but at least i have this candy bar—" *drops it in a puddle*

#danny phantom #dc x dp #dp x dc #sorry it's 7am i havent slept & all i can think about is dp shit #so a normal day for me basically #you know that ''oh hes fucked up actually'' meme?#i like to view Danny as that but opposite. ''oh he's normal actually''#i think that is underutilized. Danny just being some kid #his life is insane & he has superpowers & is half dead & his parents are ghost hunters & his house is a lab #but underneath it all he really is just some kid #okay so this has gotten almost 300 notes in less than 12 hours so i need to say something #Danny being a little bit pathetic is key here #the others can view him as some super powerful god king. he can even look like it. but he HAS to be a little pathetic & even a bit stupid #he HAS to accidentally drop that candy bar & it HAS to land directly in some dirty street puddle #& he has to stand there for a minute just staring at it before picking it up phasing the water off & sighing so dejectedly #it rattles his lungs like he's about to cry & then he eats it anyways because that boy will eat anything #& all he had with him when he fell through that stupid portal was this candy bar Tucker threw at his head 2 seconds prior #so really he doesn't have anything else to eat at the moment #& then Batman is there #whipping the adoption papers out of his cape & choking out ''god i can't NOT adopt him'' or whatever

lil columbo sticker design i made for my etsy :) i'm not sure what the market is for columbo merch but if the demand is high enough i'd like to make an enamel pin in the future!

#columbo #lt columbo #sticker #art #illustration #peter falk #1970s #retro #if you'd like a pin please consider picking up a sticker! pins are a huge investment with a large minimum order quantity so #i can't just make them on a whim yknow. but also i reeeaaallly really want a tiny columbo for my hat lol #i think i struck a good balance between 'making him small enough proportion-wise for a sticker' and 'not really making him look #chibi or anything'. which is difficult dhjbdbjhsf #hes a little guy but he also has lil guy energy. so it just Works #i want to draw more of that crossover but i should be saving my comic/writing energy for my actual comic but also i have a shop to run and #other responsibilities and actually i need to be able to clone myself

*cough* rain world anime when *cough cough*

thinking about if the ancients gave their iterators new looks during wartime

rough design under the cut!

assuming they did or even *could* go to war with each other when they lived on the iterators, and if they were willing to embrace the first urge... hm.......

#I'd die for a rain world anime #rain world #rain world art #wartime!pebbles #fake anime screenshot #rw five pebbles #five pebbles #rain world fanart #5 pebbles #rainworld iterator #just picked that line because it fits the vibe best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#haha this was so impulsive but I can't get it out of my head #referenced one of my favorite shots from the prince of egypt #if anyone was curious #reminded me why I don't use colored pencils tho gaaahhh #riantart

I'm so sorry, I'm absolutely losing it. I went to my neighbor's today to find out what I would need to do to care for their puppy this weekend, and This Fucking Thing appeared ajgldfkjhfg she is a turkey hen. you know, the birds who quite famously look like this

with no feathers on their heads, or very little, mostly along the spine/top of the head... and this gal just rocks up with not only a LITTLE bit of feathering, but almost completely covered. Even her WATTLE had feathers.

I'mc rying

i said, what the hell is going on here? and they were like

her name's Fluffy

#turkeys #turkey #birds #bird #I can't #I wheezed laughing #MA'AM PLS #I have seen some hens with a LITTLE extra feathering #like a thicker mane down the spine #or a little extra around the ear feathers or something #but never like this #this gal heard “bearded hen” and got the SPIRIT all right #look at her little fuckin' eyebrows!!!!#GOD if I wasn't neck deep in peafowl breeding I would take her to breed feathered-headed turkeys #I would just keep picking the ones with the most feathers on their heads until they were plumed
