#because we are having fun | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

My main issue with the conversations we have about media and how moral it is is that there's actual, tangible suffering and death in real life we can work on instead. I don't really care if I'm watching a horror movie that's not giving the women agency because it's not real, but I care very much about women not being assaulted in real life. I only have so much energy, though, so if I focus all of that on how to tell the One Perfect Horror Story, I'm not focusing it on getting women access to healthcare, which is the thing that will really help.

#like just to be clear!#representation does do good things #and a lot of people prefer to read stories they can relate to #i prefer to read about people who are not like me but that's me! you can want to only read about people like you and that's okay #because we are having fun #our moral worth is not based on our netflix history #but!#there is actual work to do!#in terms of making the world better!#and i want to do that!#and i think often that we get distracted by things that maybe feel more achievable or are more visible #and we forget the less glamorous more frustrating work that really moves the needle #like I'll have long conversations with very sexist guys to try and open their minds just a tiny bit.#usually it doesn't work but sometimes it does! sometimes they see the world a little more widely #and then they carry that with them as they make their choices in life #and this stacks up.#it's not that you can't do a lot of real work in media. you can!#but there is so much more that is maybe more influential #because you can tell stories as perfectly as you want #and it won't necessarily impact how people live #because people often only interact with media they agree with already #so it isn't changing minds or policies or culture etc etc etc #does that make sense?#and it comes from this puritan idea of withdrawing from the world to be pure #which doesn't. help. fix. the world #ANYWAY

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

#My art #One Piece #Nico Robin #Sir Crocodile #Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD #According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went*#Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life #They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay #But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world #This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER #You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized #Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao #She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

before october 7th this blog was a meme page btw.

#don't you think it's so odd how so many palestinians on tumblr were just minding their own business and having fun #and all of a sudden the genocide started and we started dedicating all our time #to helping and start educating people #only for people to start questioning us and harassing us in the most parasocial ways #and now about half of us are deciding not to share about our personal lives or our interests anymore #because we can't be granted the opportunity to actually have personalities outside of our suffering.#a look into our personal lives is a privilege and all of you abused it #all of this is due to the fact that none of you consider us as actual human beings #even if you're “allies” to the palestinian cause. you still dehumanize us to hell and back #i wish you all could see me as someone who is just like you.

We didn't even get an answer, and we never will (at least it's not determination)

FIRST - PREVIOUS - NEXT

MASTERPOST (for the full series / FAQ / reference sheets)

#deltarune #undertale #utdr #crossover comic #undertale fanart #deltarune fanart #art #twin runes #twin runes comic #kris dreemurr #frisk #chara #ralsei #aaaaah chara is slowly figuring out what they are #are you onto it too?#but I'm with susie let's get on with the story already!#for those who haven't picked up on it #this comic and the last one are poking fun at the whole “what does the red soul represent” debate in the fandom #especially under the last comic i've seen people viciously arguing with one another on other platforms #or people from both camps yelling at me #fact is we know that every human soul has determination due to the log entries in the true lab and the amalgamates #some humans just can have more and others less of it #that is what chara is pointing out about kris specifically #they have a red soul but less determination than most humans #the comic ends on a non-answer because unless we get toby's word on it we will never know what it is #and that is kinda a toby fox move #we will never get his answer #all we can do is theorize #personally I like to think it's love #especially in the context of this comic series

@///_bsd_edits on Instagram gave me the idea to draw that based on one Ueda and Kimisawa interaction

The thing ^

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd chuuya #chuuya nakahara #bsd dazai #dazai osamu #soukoku #skk #sab posting #ueda is Chuuya's stageplay actor #makes sense #kimisawa is Fitzgerald's stageplay actor #i love that guy but it just didn't fit the thing yeah so we made this about the stinkers again #who would've thought #add dazai making “wroom wroom” sounds in the background because i forgot #anyway #just soukoku being silly kids #i need them to be childish and have fun like kids should #aughhhhhh

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!

Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎

#my art #marinette dupain cheng #miraculous ladybug #miraculous fanart #style mimic #sorry for the @s btw #yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also #this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made #i think they all got together and drew with one another #which is really cool #but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot #and ive seen others do it too so i was just like #wow they really know each others styles really well #until i thought about it and read their posts some more #style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice #and a good way to explore other ways of doing things #like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone #also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit #so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it #anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont #but ye #i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like #ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while #sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style #so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic #Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy #being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another #buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects #so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref #as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

Still thinking about Gortash’s coronation and how smoothly he cuts a Durge off from their companions (and wishing we had a follow up with that)

The first words out of his mouth are that he cares about them- anybody else who remembers Durge has only distain for them, but not him- he’s happy to see them, he missed them, they’re his favorite assassin and he’s only glad to see them alive

And then he takes it a step further by providing insight into their past, something Ketheric refused to do for them- and Gortash isn’t dumb. He knows exactly how Durge’s companions will react, knows that he’s effectively outing Durge when he so easily could have pulled them to the side instead

And when their companions snap at them and refuse to look at them, Gortash is still smiling. Suddenly, he’s the nicest person in the room. Suddenly, everything is unstable and dangerous- but he likes you. He’s sitting there with open arms while the companions are rightfully so mad with Durge, but Gortash is more than happy to resume their alliance

He’s more than happy to be their sole source of comfort again, and isn’t he just so sweet for that?

#anyways really wish we did have a follow up- it feels like he so very effectively gets between Durge and their companions #and all of the companions are rightfully mad at them #and then you just keep on trucking along and eventually it feels like that conversation didn’t happen #which is too bad- I think it could be a lot of fun to put more pressure on Durge and co #and I think it’s a fun insight into Gortash’s character #he’s remarkably honest during that whole conversation and it’s all incredibly manipulative #plus I like to think he knows how finicky durge can be- and how quickly they feel backed up against a wall when their friends snap at them #and there he is. conveniently offering a different option #conveniently offering for them to fall back into step #which is nifty! mostly because it’s both caring (as much as someone like Gortash knows how to) and super manipulative #durgetash #Durge #enver gortash #bg3 #bg3 spoilers

i’m just gonna say it i love how kaos handled orpheus and eurydice. i really did, im a huge greek mythology nerd and that story has always been about the refusal to give someone up even when you should, its not a love story its a story about grief. and i just- ah they did something really cool there didn’t they? i’m gonna rewatch the season and like properly form my opinions but i really like it.

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...
