it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

#i bring up tsarnev only bc i feel like people DID want blood. i lived in boston. people wanted to rip him apart.#i do not personally remember a moment where he was paraded around like that. and the fact we gave more dignity to him #than luigi .... is startling.#and i just realized last night i was like - i don't really remember a perp walk like that. maybe im misremembering #but i went to google and i was like. wait why the fuck was it so fucking big.#it WASNT a random act of terror. it WASNT to injure/kill as many as possible.#even if we consider it to be premeditated murder: when have we ever done this.#so brandy's life didnt deserve “a show of force?”#the mayor doesn't say ''our city wont stand for this'' when it's a planned murder for insurance money????#anyway . ur not immune etc etc etc #but i also wanted the comparisons in here in case ppl aren't from amercia etc #this ISNT normal or usual. this was overkill by like a million #on the other hand they gotta do this bc they're scared :)#i kept this bc i had ppl ask me not to delete this but i just felt like #it wasn't really poetry just talkin

i literally do not care about big emergencies on abc's 911. i want to see my characters talk to each other and have stories that are parallels to small, everyday (everyday for first responders) emergencies

#why must everything be such a big ass event #okay yes it makes sense for a season premiere (tsunami my beloved <33)#and they sometimes slay at the end of a season (sniper arc <33)#but god other than that i literally do not care!!!!#bc they are bad #im not even sorry but the ebola 2.0 story is just not interesting to me #i would never rewatch it even if it gave us buck athena doing crime and chobby moments that make me scream and my beautiful boy ravi #like i care about the characters!!!!!#idgaf about anything else tbh #thats why i watch this show bc i love (almost) every character on this show and i want to learn more about them and see them in situations #so many recent episodes have zero rewatchability to me bc tim is out here trying to do some crazy ass thing that ends up not being executed #well or sacrifices character development #and like man what are you doing???#making episode long arcs that are still focused on the mains and not just doing shit for the sake of doing shit is possible and has been #done on 911 before #pls #tim pls i want my characters to have satisfying development and arcs i dont need to see a 4 minute long helicopter chase or your poorly #written versions of movies you like #either start cooking up good mass events again (see: earthquake tsunami sniper) or just stopppp doing them pls #sorry i saw tims interview where he said there's gonna be another mass casualty event at the end of 8 and i just know its not gonna be it #like some of these episodes this man has been writing have so few good character moments/interactions that im like.#why did i even watch the episode i could have gotten all i wanted from gifs on tumbler dot com and wouldnt have had to watch 40 minutes of #poorly written everything else #anyway i love everyone who works on 911 abc (excluding tim) they are beautiful and hardworking and put up with that bald mans delusionals #and ofc i love all my beautiful mains you are the reason i watch this show i cannot imagine 911 without my beloved firefam

#opfanart #one piece #monkey d luffy #roronoa zoro #nami #usopp #sanji #my first nongun art in 8 kabillion years. i watched opla recently and it resurged smth deep within me...#idk who of my first followers are still here but one piece has been like T_T urgh. my beginnings... i love this series so much #LUFFY especially - zoro is my favorite but luffy is the heart of the show!!! inaki's performance was really fun and carried that same #vibrancy - it made me sooo happy to see... and in general the romance dawn crew has always been dear to my heart uuu... the la gave a lot o #good bits between the og trio but i def wish we couldv seen more with usopp & sanji too. but maybe.. if we ever get a season 2 :'D #anyway i love the straw hats steadily getting used to luffy's shenanigans and even liking it at some point. the warming up part of all thei #friendships is so dear to me and its just a natural blossom of comfort and trust. and some of these mfs are Touch starved fr....#ruporas art

Finally, my design for Mysterion!! this boy gave me so much heartache in the process of making this but its ok its all worth it for him <3

I also couldn't choose between the version with hair or without hair, so here's the one without under the cut (+ my initial drafts for his design):

#south park #south park fanart #south park the fractured but whole #tfbw #south park tfbw #mysterion #kenny mccormick #shroomer's archives: south park #shroomer's art !#shroomer's finished art !#time for me to yap about my design process in the tags again #so yea. MYSTERION!!! just another different flavor of kenny #are you sick of seeing me draw him yet #anyways. i made the poncho follow the shape of an M to recreate the M on his original design on his chest #but i also have green lines on his undershirt that travel up his arms and onto his chest to recreate the shape of an M #if the hood were to ever be ripped off #gave him the sort of police utility belts because he was close to the police in his first episode #and also just because theyre cool lol #ALSO I STOLE THE SPRAY PAINTED QUESTION MARK ON HIS HOOD i really like how it looks i think it was vicchaosz here on tumblr who inspired me #made the poncho ragged because. yknow. he dies a lot. that thing is not gonna walk away in tip top shape.#kept most of the colors the same with only a few changes like his boots and his underpants (which i changed to shorts)#OH AND MY FAVORITE HAPPY ACCIDENT!!! the underside of his hood was too dark in contrast to his shorts so i added some lilac to lighten it u #and it ended up looking like when mysterion goes into his ghost form in the game AND ITS JUST. UGH. SUCH A COOL HAPPY ACCIDENT.#so yea: not only did it help with the contrast its also THEMATIC!!#i swear he's not shorter in the lineup hes just slouching #i love this feral ass pose i put him in #ok i think thats it if you read this far ily and i smooch you #mwah #i hope this post does well lol i put so much effort into this

a safe place to rest

( EPHEMERWEEK 3: home )

#kh #kingdom hearts #khux #kingdom hearts union cross #ephemerweek2024 #kh ephemer #ephemer #thinking of a caption is the second hardest part of doing this #anyway the implication here is that the other union leaders put the blanket on him and gave him a cup of coffee #i originally intended on drawing them too but that wouldve added five years to the process and i dont have time lmao #also dont look too hard at the patterns on the chair . i couldnt find a clear shot of it so i half made it up #and for the question: i dont think i have many hcs for him but i do greatly enjoy the idea that hes incredibly short #its both funny And i get to curse him w a short stature. its a win win #myart

tiefling jon's first day at the Archives

#id in alt #the magnus archives #tma #magnus archives #elias bouchard #jonathan sims #tma jon #jon tma #jon sims #tma dnd au #tiefling jon #gammijart #tma s4 #so this is that comic i was talking about a few weeks ago. with way too many backgrounds and effort #ill say i did enjoy doing the backgrounds a lot and thats worth a whole lot. but also. if this gets no notes i will. cry #anyways. love drawing a correct perspective grid and then fucking it up in favor of something that is wrong but FEELS right <3 #also any anachronisms shall be explained by this being a fantasy setting #always difficult to post something that's not a joke. sincerity. yuck #and this does still have some jokes. just less punchy than id usually post. also no jmart or other ships. whoof #i havent done enough with elias. he's such a slimy bastard - v fun to write #he talks a bit more formally here than in canon but tbf he is an elf so /shrug #EDIT: aaaah between panels 4 and 8 i forgot i gave him an ace ring!!

prompt failed he thought it was pretty sick actually

(👍if you ship scc go away)

#the art gallery #deltarune #scc #capsei #anyway so i actually had already started drawing the first image before receiving the ask ! it just gave me an idea for a sort of follow up #being The Rest Of The Comic #anyway the conceit here is like. ralsei asked them to build/repair soemthing Hence Why Ralsei Is There #also i worry that it’s not clear this is castle town with hie #with how Red everything is when castle town is normally dark purpley-blue(mostly black)#It’s Just Hot. and castle town is within a school closet you KNOW it’s stuffy and humid. they don’t even keep classrooms cool.…… nightmare

The reference is this photo of Katharine Hepburn as Antiope and Colin Keith-Johnston as Theseus in the 1932 play 'The Warrior's Husband' (and I'd love for people to turn into a draw your otp meme pls pls pls this pose is so good)
