Real fan art is coming one day, but for now I really wanted to see if it was feasible to simplify their gradients into something that would fit a simple style like Bluey’s 😅
.
#aaaaaaaaaAAA#they're so precious I can't ;m;#I still haven't watched Bluey so I can't really comment on show accuracy but to me these look spot on#if you ask me the gradients work really well#if you look at them and unfocus your eyes they look like their normal markings#Vasco might benefit from having one more band between the base yellow and the lighter brown but that's totally optional and might take away#from the simplicity of his design#their colors are so true to the way I color them which is both cool and kind of uncanny#like Machete's pink details which in reality are very peachy almost closer to light orange than true pink#and their colored linearts which use the same colors I use for my colored linearts#I don't know I thought that was really cool attention to detail#they're adorable#thank you!#gift art#apupcalyptic#own characters#Machete#Vasco#their lives would be a lot less stressful in bluey universe I reckon

i think a core component of the okumura twins relationship is that if you told them before the series what happens in the future, they would worry about each other before themselves
#i stand by this 100%#especially with yukio people act like he actually hates rin#when in reality he spends a lot of time worrying about his safety to his own detriment and to the detriment of him#cuz he thinks about it as an authority figure and not as a peer and he doesnt really know rin that well at this point#hes used to the 'if nothing bad happens he'll be same so if he does nothing nothing will happen' but of course that doesnt work anymore#rin is already a demon hes already an exorcist and yukio cant cope with the fact that bad things have ALREADY happened#and his problem solving method failed and continues to fail that he doesnt know what to do#in terms of rin of course he also has his own problems#rin does this too but more as a brother and less of an authority figure#its more of a 'yukio should have to deal with this so im gonna do it even if it kills me' even tho in this case yukio has more experience#rin needs to keep him safe and to keep him safe he needs to fight the things that threaten his little brother#but that also fails because of yukio's aformentioned experience but also rin's lack of experience#rin knows how to fight bullies but he doesnt know demons but hes still trying even if yukio doesnt want him to#anyway i think its sweet how hard they try for eachother despite being out of their element#and also how hard they're trying to appear like they're not trying to keep eachother safe to eachothers benefit#okumura twins#ao no exorcist#blue exorcist#yukio okumura#rin okumura

I wonder if the mural of Vander already existed and someone else painted Jinx into it after she became so well regarded?
I just feel like the portraits aren't that well integrated in theme. You have Vander's profile bordered in yellow flowers to represent friendship and joy. Then you have the more detailed painting of Jinx looming over Piltover exploding it with smoke bombs. Jinx is framed around doves while stylized into her latest attacks.
It feels like the artist(s) wanted to associate Jinx with Vander rather than the other way around because the actual subject of the Jinx's portion of the mural is Jinx violently provoking Piltover, but the nature of Jinx's portion is practically whitewashed to make it work with Vander's theme to the point Jinx is surrounded by DOVES. It might be an attempt to harmonize Jinx's persona with the ideals Vander left behind, which are the complete opposite of what Jinx is actually doing.
I think this is on purpose because Jinx is the most politically relevant member of her family now. Jinx is the one being valorized and venerated, and EVERYONE knows none of this would have been possible without Silco. Silco was the one who dedicated his resources to train Jinx and was openly anti-Piltovan to Jinx and the rest of Zaun.
I've seen some claims that Vander and Jinx are together because Vander was more beloved than Silco. But Silco never made it illegal to mourn or even celebrate Vander's memory. Silco allowed and a giant statue of Vander to be built in the middle if Zaun and he'd TALK to it.
But now Silco's dead and there are people running around in the background wearing Jinx's X and Silco's color scheme on their clothes. It feels like there's an ideological custody battle on behalf Silco and Vander through their supporters on who was Jinx's "true" father and gets the lions share of historical parental acclaim.
Tldr: The mural seems more like an effort to save face for Vander rather than bolster Jinx because Vander's actual values inexplicably lead his KNOWN favorite to becoming an enforcer. Meanwhile, everyone knows, especially Silco's supporters, that Silco's responsible for how Jinx turned out, and she's currently Zaun's favorite.
#arcane#arcane meta#jinx arcane#silco#vander arcane#i think the mural also whitewashes Vander's own history too#everyone goes on about the Hound of the Underground and he hangs cast irons still stained in blood#even foreign pirates know what he's done#vander was a violent man and in mamy ways still WAS a violent man bcuz he ran a protection racket on Zaun#he's only peaceful compared to the new guy who violently overthrew him and tried to murder all his children#and sure there were people who clearly tried to fight against Silco's regime#but it's very clear many people (not just the chembarons) benefited from Silco's leadership#and now vander supporters probably saw vi came back got excited then noticed she was running around w/ enforcers#a kiramman no less#so now they're thinking “oh god not only is vander dead but his favorite kid is an enforcer that everyone hates”#“and Silco's favorite is the one everyone loves”#time for some historical revisionism to save some face for vander in the afterlife

Behold: Dimension J-8188, my rnm OCs lolz
#rick and morty#rick sanchez#morty smith#rnm#rick#morty#art#julius arts#What if rick and morty were Edgier#They come from my desire to see morty's repressed rage become less repressed#He deserves to realize how horribly he's been treated by everyone in his life#but I'm doing it in a ''Rick is still taking advantage of him and harnessing his anger for his benefit'' way#But at the same time even though this RIck just says he's using his Morty he secretly loves to see him grow into himself like this#Albeit in a rather hateful and spiteful way. But in a way it just fuels his own twisted world view#They both feed into each other's not-so-good attributes just in a different way then the show's rick and morty do lawl

What's the Wardi cultural take on Akoshos sleeping with/partnering with/marrying other Akoshos?
It's not highly regulated to a degree that there are overwhelming cultural norms about it. There's a lot of societal focus on akoshos being theoretically suitable sexual partners for both men and women due to being dual-gendered, but not to an extent that relationships with One Another are stigmatized.
They also largely get to escape from the most severe concerns about penetrator/penetrated power dynamics because they're not regarded as Men (they're regarded as dual-gendered, and they're a female social class on every practical level), there's no status of manhood to Lose by receiving sexual penetration. The only real thing you see in that department is people assuming that one acts as 'the man' and one acts as 'the woman', but this is largely due to preoccupation with a notion of sex being Penetration With A Penis (and that Penetration With A Penis means that one person is in a Man's Role and one person is in a Woman's Role). But this will not be regarded as unnatural as in same-gender male relations, akoshos will Have to take up a position in this sexual dichotomy if they want to have Real Sex (Penetration With A Penis) with each other, and this is not unnatural and doesn't involve gaining or losing status since they are simultaneously male and female, not men.
So like you might see individual culture critics finding stuff to nitpick about it as their annoyance of the week or a singular Guy here or there who thinks it's weird, but this isn't a widespread norm. The vast majority of people don't give a shit about akoshos having sex with each other. The worst thing you're likely to experience Solely by virtue of being in an akoshos-akoshos relationship is someone asking you (probably with genuine curiosity) which one does the man stuff and which one does the woman stuff.
Akoshos also don't experience Hard expectations for marriage (though there are societal pressures that make marriage an attractive safety net all the same, ESPECIALLY marriage to a man) so unofficial life-partnerships between akoshos are pretty much the Only same gender partnerships between unwed people that are going to go unquestioned. ((Sworn brotherhood is technically a same gender life partnership for men that is Functionally similar to marriage (in that it's a kin-making practice between unrelated adults), but the tradition is Built upon the assumption that both parties will be married to women and that a primary goal of this kinship is to provide security for both parties' wives and children)). Marriage obligations in general are more lax in the economically secure but not Wealthy lower mercantile classes (as obligations to support and perpetuate one's family are universal, but these obligations can be filled simply by having at least One son who can get hitched, and marriages in the lower classes have no political functions and therefore there's less reason to ensure All your children are wed (there's still incentives like dowry, but this is not desperately needed when a family is economically secure)). So akoshos in this class group tend to have a Lot more freedom in terms of their life arrangements and chosen partners (though still experience the limiting frameworks of structural misogyny in other capacities).
The only thing that is out of the picture is akoshos/akoshos marriage. Marriage in this society has a predominantly reproductive function, the concept of reproductively non-viable marriages is generally considered absurd. This is not JUST this culture's form of homophobia, as marriage is a very practical arrangement at its core - both in a reproductive capacity and as bedrock for the patriarchal blood-kinship family system that forms the core social unit. The idea of same gender marriage isn't just absurd because 'ewwww weird' it's like, that Cannot work within this system, it Cannot fill core functions of what a marriage intends to do here, the ways on which marriage and kinship are BUILT makes same gender marriage practically (rather than just socially) untenable.
The sole exception to the 'marriage = reproductively viable" rule is that akoshos can be married to men (which in practice is almost always as a remarriage after a man has secured At Least an heir). This has a Little bit of internal logic here in that they perform predominantly female social roles (thus are suited to being a wife, even if they can't bear children) (and also on practical levels of them having the same legal status as women) but it's really more of a 'this is just how it's always been' kind of thing. A lot of the older pre-Wardi identity dual-gender roles that got mashed together under the 'akoshos' name would have involved marriage to a man as a second wife/concubine, in addition to his primary wife who would bear his children. Men potentially having multiple spouses has not been retained as a cultural practice, but the notion that an akoshos Can be a wife to a man has survived into modern day legal and doctrinal practices around marriage.
So like this being said, marriage as it is legally defined is only between a man and a woman, a man and an akoshos, or a woman and an akoshos. In practice the latter two are comparatively VERY rare- a man/akoshos marriage cannot provide children (though an akoshos can practically fulfill all other obligations and duties of a wife), a woman/akoshos marriage Can provide children (and while akoshos cannot function as a male heir, these children Will take their akoshos-parent's family name (though the wife retains her father's family name)), but akoshos are legally grouped with women in terms of rights and privileges (including being permanently under legal domain of their father unless they have been legally handed off to a male husband) and Cannot provide hard power patriarchal support that this family system is built upon and therefore depends upon, which makes these marriages socio-economically insecure. They can obviously still be a good partner and parent, but this is not the same as having the Legal hard power of a patriarch.
Akoshos marrying each other would be reproductively and socially nonviable, and is treated as a similarly absurd concept to a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman. It's just not a part of the marriage and kinship framework, it's not a thing that you can Do.
#Akoshos are also probably like.... 1-2% of the population. Like its an Accepted gendered space but not a large one so it's less#'managed' in a lot of senses#It's actually kind of hard to 'access' the akoshos space to begin with. Like parents look for Signs In Early Childhood and most#akoshos are typically assigned their gender early.#If you don't manage to access this space there's a good chance of being Stuck as a man with any deviance from your expected#gender roles being the HIGHLY unaccepted 'male effeminacy' which is a VERY different concept than (though obviously has tensions With)#being akoshos. A lot of akoshos self-label as adults after losing support from their families in part for being '''effeminate men'''#(this is also kind of the only instance in which gender self-identification occurs on a basis that will be Broadly accepted. Though#this happens in the context of already being detached from one's familial support network and people not knowing you self-assigned)#There are also certainly Some cases where akoshos self-identify as adults and this is accepted by their fathers. For a variety#of reasons but unfortunately often it's going to be like-#'we must have missed something but whatever. glad our kid is actually supposed to be this way and isn't just effeminate'#Also much less likely to be accepted if they're an expected male heir without brothers to take up the role in their stead#And VERY unlikely in upper classes where family members are public figures. If you've been introduced as a man here you're probably#out of luck.#(Like you'll see accusations that adult-assigned akoshos are just pretending in order to disguise being male effeminates)#This position isn't freedom from gender norms or like. The equivalent of an accepted trans identity. It's its own assigned gender#space in an Expanded but strict binary with expanded but strict roles#Also the societal trends over centuries are showing signs of increasing collapse between the notions of 'effeminate man' (bad)#and 'akoshos' (normal). At this point the concepts are still very separate but the current societal trajectory is leaning towards the#akoshos role being phased out of its normalization (in tandem with Wardi culture becoming more intensely patriarchal with#the collapse of Wardi groups into one identity)#Like 600 years ago there was NOT a concept of 'effeminate man' and proto-akoshos roles were a#more central concept that enveloped divergences from expected masculinity. Whereas now the akoshos space is significantly narrower#and the concept of 'effeminate man' exists in tandem as a stigmatized descriptor. And things have gotten to the point of#people claiming that ''effeminate men'' will 'pretend' to be akoshos#The akoshos identity becoming stigmatized/phased out isn't inevitable but the tensions around it are definitely growing#Though there's also a sense that Peak Patriarchy has been hit and you're starting to see people pushing back at these norms in fairly#notable ways. There's not going to be like. A feminist revolution but civilian women getting more political freedoms (while the overall#context stays patriarchal) is a likely outcome which could also have side benefits of relaxing masculinity standards Somewhat

you guys ever think about the idea that the Federation really doesn't know q!Antoine cares about Pomme? because from their standpoint how would they? q!Antoine is 100% with manipulation, human experimentation, and most importantly the idea of lying to serve a greater purpose. and really, how could something as inhumane, as old as q!Antoine ever care about something he knows is meant only to placate. and yet, he is, he is more than placated he is completely possessed by this need to protect, to look after this little girl who was meant to rot in a wall never to be found, to play with her and laugh and read her writing, but still, why would that convince the Census Bureau of anything? If q!Antoine wants to keep pretending to be human then he has too right? He has to fit in, so what other reason would there be?
Can you logically prove you love your own children?
#I like the idea of Antoine being caught between the two main sides of his personality#where theres the before. the cold zero remorse cult leader/scientist who does everything for his own benefit. what he is to the feds#and then the after. fang-less goofy father who looks behind his shoulder too much. what he is to the island pomme and his friends#and while Antoine true feelings lie somewhere in the middle hes constantly fronting to the respective side of what they think he is#i also think this would make the feds kidnapping of pomme make sense in lore#because if they think he really doesnt care about her then obliviously they would treat her like any other egg.#even if her father if directly involved with them#q!Antoine#qsmp pomme#qsmp

just went and listened to the usum version of ghetsis’ battle theme and it’s actually got me feeling like this image
like. you mentioned the whips cracking. you didn’t mention the way it sounds like pure bloodlust. i don’t know what it is about it but it sounds like sheer hatred and evil. it doesn’t even sound like a pokémon boss theme. it sounds like the song itself is trying to kill me. and like it could. this is a ghetsis theme with a PUNCH to it. i am viscerally uncomfortable just listening. and i LOVE it. what on earth did they put in it. that is the definitive version of his theme now
IT'S SUCH A GOOD THEME. They somehow manage to make it sound more threatening than the original which is a feat. And it fits so well with the context being that this Ghetsis won in the world he came from. The song itself just sounds cruel, it's perfectly fitting for the version of him who succeeded in conquering Unova.
Just everything about it fills you with this sense of dread that you got from the original but it feels so much more intense here. Every time I listen to it, it makes my skin crawl, it's so great.
#thanks for the ask <3#come join me in “ghetsis' usum theme is the superior ghetsis theme” land#it takes what makes the original so intimidating and then crank it up to eleven#it's not even mimicking arceus' theme anymore and it's still so scary#putting this in the tags because i'm rambling and being less coherent here#like i mentioned in my response#the song itself sounds cruel and it does share that trait with the original#but like you said this one has a punch to it#along with being fitting for the ghetsis that was able to win#it's so fitting of the cruelty that that goes along with being able to commit the acts needed to get to that point#and that includes maybe killing n#idk it just becomes all the more terrifying on top of everything else when you think about what had to be done#for ghetsis to get what he wanted#truly a theme fitting for someone willing to kill children and to kill his own son in a heartbeat if it could benefit him#it sounds so evil and if he *did* kill n if he did all the things he needed to do to win#then it makes sense#a more evil sounding song for a version of ghetsis#who did much eviler things to get where he is#gaaahhh sorry for rambling i just think about ghetsis in usum a lot

this was absolutely insane by the way i will never forget about this
#ESPECIALLY FOR THE TIME. THIS WAS IN SEASON 1#i talk about him way less than yf leafy and four so you might forget but announcer is one of my 4 favourite characters#and this here captures why. he just loves the world so much and when you first meet him he’s Literally A Robot he appears cold and only-#logical and he’s seemingly only doing trhe show for his own benefit but as time goes on he’s more and more affectionate and clearly fond of-#the objects and he spends more time just doing things with them instead of To them. he’s realised how much he truly loves life again#save me serious bfdi stuff save me#godddd i need to know. what was his life like before he went to that mysterious planet. please i need more background stuff about the world#it’s why im So Excited about tpot 10. i feel like it’s gonna have more stuff about the bfdi universe because of ones arrival

be real honest. which member of your favorite group whose personality is actually similar to you? are they your bias or not?
#ann.txt#ive been curious about this#esp to atinys but i think people from other fandoms might see and want to share too#in my case my personality is the closest to mingi hongjoong and scoups (with less $$$)#mingi mainly cus of his thinking framework and bluntness constantly talking abt world economy whatsoever 😂#his “cost-benefit” mindset is strong and its shown? but it doesnt make him cold or careless abt his friends#and you know what else is strong in him? his simpness for yunho. boi doesnt have anything bad abt him he has his name in his head 25/8#i think if i have my own “yunho” person i'll have nothing in my head but them too#i think if hes just a clerical worker or avg uni student hed do a good job in business or any job/study thats data driven?#hongjoong and coups. assertive yet open to feedbacks. they treat it as opportunity to improve and reach out wider audiences#while attentive to their members their works the top priority. if they can work then why sleep#be the $$$ daddies 🤑#just in real life yet tricky in games 🤪 but sometimes im also a fool like mingi 🤪🤪🤪#and nope theyre not my bias but its amazing to know you gentlemen 🤝#PLUS THEYRE ALL BIG BABIES MAXIMUM OF 5 YEARS OLD#I AM 5

brainrot will have you doing crazy things like wondering if nagito komaeda is, broadly speaking, a consequentialist, or if his ethical framework meets the more stringent requirements of utilitarianism at 9 o’clock in the morning
#I mean I guess it comes down to 1) whether or not you subscribe to his definition of hope as 'absolute good' and#2) whether you think he cares if his 'hope' benefits the majority#if yes on 1 and 2 – he's a consequentialist and a utilitarian#if no on either – you think he's a consequentialist (even if he – with more nuance – might see himself as utilitarian)#I guess it seems like he thinks that hope *does* benefit the majority just through the fact that it exists#but I think there's also an argument for him not really caring about what hope does for people around him so long as it's there#in which case he's a consequentialist and not a utilitarian even in his own view (less strong but I'd still consider it)#anyway I'm literally on the clock rn so I should *really* stop#*deep sigh*#nagito komaeda

A few days ago, I saw a post about someone warning of an AO3 Wrapped program/site thing where people input their username and password and it spits out a summary similar to Spotify’s. I didn’t think much of it.
Now that I’ve seen two authors on AO3 publish very, very similar chapter-updates saying they wanted to quit, delete the story, and insult their writing, I’m pretty confident there’s some kind of bot going around.
It might be a good idea to update your AO3 password and remember: never share your login info.
#ao3#archive of our own#the ‘updates’ got deleted not long after they were published so I’m willing to bet the author didn’t post them#and only learned about it when very concerned comments started pouring in#either that or there’s a few authors with less than honest ways of checking engagement#but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying hacked

i think to claim US citizens are privileged over those in the global south is almost always but not inherently true. whenever this subject comes up the first thing i think about is the fucking abysmal conditions on many reservations, of the fact that native people in this country still live under occupation, are citizens of their own nations but forced to be US citizens as well, under which they are gravely oppressed and their cultures and sovereignty threatened. one could argue that these are unique cases, if even willing to concede at all the extent of native oppression in this country. but to me, as a native, these individuals and experiences are not simply an afterthought. as i said, they come to my mind immediately. the fact that most people do not even consider them at all in these discussions only proves my point about how utterly fucking dire the oppression of this country's indigenous population is. we, especially those of us who struggle the most, are forgotten and erased constantly.
when some people are only US citizens by force, when they are among the indigenous population and live under occupation, i simply could not agree that these individuals benefit from that oppression. how could they? occupation is not a privilege. tell me, are you aware at all what the conditions are like on many reservations in this country? i'd also like to emphasize that native genocide is an ongoing project. it has not ended. it continues to this day.
#i'd like to add: that i can only speak for natives on this issue#and even then. i don't really. i am just one guy#i can't represent an entire group. no one can#at most i am more sensitive and tuned into this issue than many people and can bring attention to it as a result#because god knows no non-natives are going to#by and large i will not touch on intracommunity discussions not my own. that being said#if your response to black americans discussing their own issues and oppression is to complain about usamericans or westerners#then yes. that is fucking clearly antiblack and i see it a LOT from leftists on this site who are not black#like there is a problem in these spaces on this website and among many popular users in those circles#stay in your lanes.#another point i'd like to add: i am not including myself among natives who do not benefit from US citizenship#i am a mixed urban ndn who did not grow up on a rez or anything like that#i grew up poor but poor within the imperial core nonetheless#it is complicated as a mixed native. i feel resentment towards my forced US citizenship. towards colonialism and native genocide#but this post isn't really about me. it's about my native cousins who are far less fortune. and who nobody else speaks up for#not that i am under any illusion this post will reach much audience at all#i don't really want my shit spread on tumblr. so i know it won't#but it was on my mind so i needed to type it out.

Sorry I intended to keep about 400 miles from this discourse but what do you fucking mean that people heard the guy who made fake screenshots against an artist justify it using "Oh its to show that callout culture is bad and that you people were too quick to believe them." and just went yeah that sounds right you have a good point callouts are bad but youre just showing that we support what youre doing actually Really just proves to me that at best the average person who never shuts the fuck up about "cancel culture" is either a remarkable idiot or a massive hypocrite provided you say the right cue words at them
#1) people who do this can and do lie about their reasons especially with how easy it is to get people on your side doing so#2) even if it shows whatever fucking shit theyre making up ITS STILL A DEEPLY FUCKED UP THING TO PIN ON A PERSON???? LIKE#The artist in question does not benefit from you using them as your little example toy. If they in your own argument are a victim of the#traumatic nature of callout posts WHY THE HELL ARE YOU JUSTIFYING FURTHER TRAUMA??? WHAT DO THEY GET FROM THIS#Sorry i have close friends who were the victims of basically almost everything said artist had happen only with even less justification#and it haunts them every fucking day to see the way people are still treating them. the 'good' treatment included#Why for even a second are you people acting like you actually give a fuck when you are justifying the fallout of this whole mess with 'oh i#guess this really proves a point. its actually showing thing bad' yeah im sure that feels great from being on the receiving fucking end as#the strung up example. Im sure theres really a lot of comfort in 'oh we shot you to show how bad shooting people is'#i have zero fucking respect for any of you. hypocrites the lot of ya just looking for the wording that proves your own personal side#rw drama#i fucking guess im just literally fucking baffled at how fucking. little it takes
