my bf keeps being like. i wish you would show more affection sometimes it feels like we’re just friends. and not to sound like im giving myself therapy but ive just realised it might be because. i’ve literally never seen my parents like. do anything romantic. i’ve never seen them cuddle. they don’t even sit next to each other on the couch. they don’t say romantic things about each other. i come from a family where physical AND verbal affection just don’t exist. and it’s sooo hard to try and do it naturally without feeling like im forcing it or lying. aaaa

#my parents love each other #but we’re just not a naturally affectionate family #it took me YEARS to get used to my friends hugging me #even then i still feel kinda uncomfortable #my bf got kinda upset bc i never initiate affection when we’re in public and i don’t know how to tell him that i struggle being #affectionate in private let alone in public #i’ve NEVER been an affectionate person #i feel like im going against my instincts all the time #idk we went to a club for a friends birthday and he was like. we should make out rn #and i said no bc i Did Not want to make out in front of people i knew #plus i’ve never liked seeing people make out in clubs #and he just didn’t really get it he was like but it’s a club everyone makes out #like i just Can’t do that like i can’t #ive gotten used to cuddling and holding hands in public #but even then i feel a lil uncomfortable #and i feel so bad bc he’s such an affectionate person and i just can’t reciprocate to the same level #i get overwhelmed when cuddling for too long #idk 😭😭 i just feel like im not giving him enough #and i know he’s getting kinda frustrated with how unaffectionate i am most of the time :(#i really wish i was different #i feel like im doing everything wrong #i don’t get how this kind of stuff is so easy for other people #idk i love cuddling #and i like holding hands and stuff #but it doesn’t come naturally to me

“They finally made this theme more blatant-" Why does it need to be blatant. What's wrong with subtlety? Concepts can be underused but subtlety is not neglect.

Blaring all your concepts and themes is not good writing. It's so disruptive to a story's flow when the characters look off the screen to be like "See? This is the concept. The idea. The theme."

If you can feel the hand of the author becoming too heavy that's bad.

For example: I see people saying Azula's abuse in ATLA is more blatant in the live action and it's good because "it's being discussed more". It already was discussed at length. The show made it clear she was a victim at every turn, every behavior, every reaction, it came from a place of trauma. It was made clear that she was scared of ending up like Zuko because Zuko was an example of what would happen to her if she failed. When she says she's better than Zuko it wasn't just because she was raised to think hersef superior to him but because Zuko failed and failures get mutilated and exiled, failures are abandoned. In that final Agni Kai the music is morose and somber because this isnt some epic battle its a fucking tragedy, the burning out of "Ozai's brightest light" and Azula finally succumbing to her terror and trauma she was repressing now that her worst fears are realized. How can you see a fourteen year old girl chained to a sewer grate wailing and writhing and breathing fire desperately as unsympathetic? Even Katara and Zuko are horrified as to what has become of her.

The writers weren't looking us in the eye and saying "See? She's a victim too" when they wrote this, they weaved it in. They weaved it into her obsesison with symmetry, her extreme perfectionism, the way she talks about Ozai, the ways she calls herself a monster, her isolation from those with healthy home lives, all the ways she held herself together and ultimately all the cracks and seams that she shattered down when she fell apart. It did not need to be blatant to be clear.

#Finis Analyzes #Nihil Dreams #ATLA #avatar the last airbender #Azula #I’m so fucking sick of people saying stuff like this #Please learn media literacy I am begging you #The narrative is not going to hold your hand and play tour guide and point out everything #Stop acting like it has to #You can analyze it yourself I promise

Inspired by these comics by @zivazivc and this comic by @chongotheartist

This has been chilling in my mind since I first saw ZivaZivcs comic and I finally got the energy to make it XD

#my art #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls band together #john dory #creek trolls #the orange troll is actually a deleted troll from the og movie known as Aspen Heitz #he has green hair in 3d and blue in 2d so i mixed the colors to get the hair i used here #any way #also i used chongos comic as like a reference for the posing and stuff #and like this is what it looks like in the comic but when put into trolls #it lind of looks like Aspen is like comforting his boyfriend creek #and i did not intend for that i just noticed it while coloring and i was like welp #and did not fix it #maybe im just overthinking it #it may just be the closeness due to troll proportions #also the holding hands on the shoulder #but it was in the og so its here too #also i love the scary jd render #whyd they make him so scary ill never know but man does it make for good comedy #i was orginally gonna draw jd too but then when i sketched him he just looked like the render and i was like you know what-#i also thought of using a fake png but that qas too much #so you get real png jd

we're at it again🕺

#jrwi riptide #gillion tidestrider #my art #sketch #back on my bullshit woo yeah woo yeah woo yeah #genuinely a lot happier with this design than the previous ones. the lighter metal looks better on him #and this one doesn't have a lot of detail (or any detail tbh) so it looks more solid and fun i think #and you can see im trying to figure out how gill would carry his sword around #technically he should just carry it in his hands and don't have a scabbard because its a longsword and isn't supposed to be sheathed...#but like... its not practical to always carry it in his hands. especially in a day to day life. because he always has the sword on him-#but he doesn't necessarily always hold it? like. he needs hands for stuff #i think i like the back scabbard better (even if i drew the whole turnaround for the hip one) just because it doesn't mess with his tail #plus that way destiny's blade is higher up and gets to look around at stuff and i think its funny #but then like... the cape is a little awkward if it has to go above the sword...#but its not a big deal. if he has a cape and armor on he probably holds the sword in his hands anyway #am i putting too much thought into this unnecessary detail? yes #am i rambling in the tags again instead of making a separate post? also yes

Assorted Horror and Killer doodles since there aren't enough of them c:

Killer by Rahafwabas Horror by Sour-apple-studios

#UTDR #UTMV #My Art #Killer Sans #Horror Sans #Pigeon look!! I remembered :D #Sadly my uncle did not leave early the other day but I finally had some time and finished them!#I know everybody has the hc that Killer climbs Horror like a cat tree when he's bored #And I like to think Horror's starting to deal with it by giving him a task like helping with food prep #Killer likes the motion and sound of chopping stuff #But also sometimes he just wrestles him about it because y'know. he's annoying (affectionate)#Also I didn't draw it cause I think I've drawn it somewhere before but I like to hc that Killer can barely see in the dark #Because of his lack of eyelights and the goop and everything his vision's kinda shitty when there's other impairments #And Horror loves sneaking up and scaring the shit out of him when he can't see #It's an easy target but he can't resist #I just want you to imagine Cross holding Killer's hand guiding him down a dark hallway like he's helping a lil old lady cross the street #And then Horror suddenly shouts from right behind them and Killer jumps into Cross's arms shaggy and scooby style #They're silly your honour c:#Anyway I have. like 3 different ideas I wanna do to sounds tiktok style #(Yes they're all game grumps clips sssshhhh)#I may have to make some kind of mini compilation or something idk

Idk about anyone else, but I fucking hate the "random white ashekenazi orthodox man as symbol of judaism/chanukah." Orthodox Jews are real people, not symbols or caricatures, and treating them as symbols perpetuates the myth they're somehow "more Jewish" than the many other types of Jews who don't look and dress like that.

This random dude is not a Jewish cultural figure on par with Santa Claus. It would be like showing catholic/protestant solidarity by showing the Pope holding hands with some random Minnsota grandma in a "Jesus Saves" sweatshirt.

Who should you put holding hands with Santa on your Chrismukah card? No one. Don't do that shit.

#Go real antisemitic and have “Jesus Saves” Grandma hold hands with a Jewish Grandma in an “I spend” sweatshirt holding a Saks shopping bag #Orthodox judaism isn't like this default the rest of us have strayed from.#Why do they wear tophats? That's not in the Tanakh or the Talmud #Jumblr #Jew stuff #Judaism #post o' mine #chrismukkah #Is the orthodox man holding a cellphone?#I hate this style of aet

Friends with benefits but the benefit is giving each other societally unacceptable long hugs and generally being more touchy while literally being friends and not actually a couple
