You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
Kill the censor in your head.
#the redwall glorifying site can sure be squeamish about books with no more problematic premises#if you’re asking what’s wrong with redwall it’s the good/evil species essentialism and the one book that doubles down on it#but like you still read it if you want to write animals having cozy adventures so you’re not ignorant of half your own genre

this manatee looks like it’s in a skyrim loading screen
#lol good luck finding all of the photoshopped versions in the rb history. ‘manatee restored’ is still my favorite of all time#misc#I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I can’t do that; which is why I’m asking you to.#also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isn’t ‘shopped#it’s the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially#the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm#which normally wouldn’t be possible if backlit by the SUN; you’d see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water#as light sources ‘compete’ in a sense - and since there aren’t any light sources which can outshine the literal sun#it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is what’s essentially happening here#I don’t know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances#also: it’s been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential#so it’s not like it’s a fresh and untouched export#but the kind of ‘tacked on’ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image

Well, I guess you didn't have much of a choice either
#sooooo fucked up being a teenage boy just messing around with friends one day#and the next weird monsters are after you#and suspicious guys youve never met before start telling you you shouldnt even exist#and even the gentle girl who seems to know SO much that you met#says you have to disappear#all for the sake of this one boy youve never heard of#who apparently everyone loves and wants back#even if it means essentially killing someone else(you)#and youre expected to just. follow along and sacrifice yourself for him#even though you are also a real perosn with real friends (or so you believe)#and at the end you do it#because youre tired and confused#and part of you feels like it should do it#that its the right thing to do#even though you still dont know anything bc no one will tell you#except for the girl but everyone always goes out of their way to stop her#anyway im rambling the kh2 prolouge is so fucked up when u think about it#roxas#sora#kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts 2#kh#kh2#art#my art#xanders art#digital art#fan art

*carefully picks you up and peeks into your conch snail shell*
Ehm... Sorry to bother, but... Could we, maybe, possibly... see Vasco's wife and her lover pictured by your hand? Sorry again, thank you for listening. Take care.
*delicately lays you back into the water to prevent any stress or dehydration*
Unfortunately I don't have her lover figured out yet, but I think Ludovica looks something like this:
#own art#own characters#CanisAlbus#Ludovica#vertopus#Vaschete lore#I may still tweak the markings this isn't 100% guaranteed final design#might make her colors a bit more reddish perhaps#but you know this is the general vibe#she was originally inspired by brittany spaniels and one of my old unused characters#to be fair the whole thing was built around the idea that she should have strong eyebrows and green theme color#again jury is still out on the renaissance hairstyle/head piece I'll try to come up with something#still trying to get a good grasp of the girlfriend too#she's most likely her lady-in-waiting or other court companion#essentially a woman of high social class whose job is to accompany a noblewoman and assist her on her daily activities#a best friend more or less#conch snail hours#she will kick anyone's ass. she will kick your ass. she will kick your dog's ass. she will kick her own ass.

Lan Wangji goes to Lotus Pier (No relation to the AU of the same name)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#Another split type comic because I decided to be ambitious.#This flashback is currently beating my ass. There are so many timeskips within the flashback! My flow and pacing are wheezing!#I loved how this scene starts with the crowd's point of view. The observations and gossip add a lot.#And it helps reposition us to what the external perspective is on these two. Namely that 'they don't get along.'#Tensions are known! Even here in Nouveau Lotus Pier.#Ah...Lan Wangji never got a chance to see the Lotus Pier of Wei Wuxian's childhood and adolescence...did he?#It's not the same. He's not the same. Call them by the same name and people will know what you mean...#...but the first version - the one with the fond memories - is gone for good.#It's sort of interesting isn't it? How names can hold so much power and still be hollow?#We often get stuck over past versions of things. Be it ourselves or other people or places.#Change is scary but the truth is nothing ever stays the same. It's always moving. You're always moving.#It's okay to mourn the past. Maybe it's people you lost or the person you hoped to be. Let yourself feel the grief.#And then? Then you grow around that pain and keep on going. If you feel like you can't - remember you don't have to do it alone.#A side note: Listening to the tossing flowers extra is so essential for this scene. It's cute and gives us more of [redacted]#What's [redacted]? You'll see in the next comic!

Anthro Spearmaster.... Slugscav? Scavlizard? All of the above? Something else? No ones quite sure.
Spearmaster presented another interesting conflict similar to Artificer, where if you make them one-to-one you end up making someone (Suns) look a lot more fucked up than they really are. Since while, regardless of how you feel about animal experimentation, you can probably agree its less fucked up than human experimentation. But get rid of too much and you lose what makes Spearmaster Spearmaster- So they certainly aren't an ethical creation, but a little less unethical than literally removing a creatures mouth and making it feed via bone needles. Still not a normal slugcat by any means, and one that uses that to their advantage. Local towns see them as everything from a normal individual, to a weird hybrid, to something entirely supernatural. They keep the details to themselves and their iterator and are happy that way.
#rain world#rainworld#rw anthro#rain world downpour#They have a jaw but muscle weakness prevents them from using it fully. So while not physically mute they cant speak easily#they have a number of braces they use to hold it shut normally and do still live on a liquid diet#just not one that requires feeding through their tail! but they can still produce and use needles from it#also drier skin than a normal slugcats means theyre less slippery and not as smooth#the overall idea was to make them essentially a bit of a yokai type creature for most of the populace. A bit more of a weird hermit

In general quite fascinating how "boys who liked bionicle are girls now" is called "gender essentialism" by like Radqueer Terfs DNI posters but "the thread of Girlhood Uterus Vulva Trauma connects all (cis) butches and trans men, so that's why I can reblog photos of trans men to my men dni blog in my #dyke tag" isn't. Lmao
#i say as a dykething obviously. it's still uncomfortable#honestly why i don't do the Boydyke thing despite that technically being true. also bc bisexuals aren't allowed to be boydykes#open mick night#lgbt#gender#transphobia cw#transmisogyny cw#<- as that is why the former is considered Gender Essentialism. i know this don't worry

Slimecicle: Oh, hang on, that's actually so cool. Aw man, this is sick.
Ironmouse: A beautiful memorial.
Slimecicle: [Throws flowers in front of the ofrenda] It's actually really cool. I'm glad this is here.
Baghera: Yeah, that's really cool.
[Slimecicle leaves, then goes back to the ofrenda]
Slimecicle: JuanaFlippa, this is- this is Technoblade. You guys never got to meet, but... I only met him a couple of times, but every single time he kicked the sht out of me in Minecraft. You know, we would do mod videos where like, I was supposed to play like a big monster, like a Wither or something, and the whole thing, the whole premise of the video would get upended because he'd hide and destroy me so hard that I needed to be like, "Dude, you're actually popping off too much right now, like– Mods, give me more hearts!" [Laughs] 'cuz he was so fcking good. He was so funny too.
Slimecicle: ...Yeah, but he- he was- he was unbelievable. Still is.
[JuanaFlippa goes up to the ofrenda and throws a blue flower]
Slimecicle: This is cool, all these little things. [Slime looks through his inventory for something to give] Do I have any blood for the Blood God? [He throws some redstone dust in front of the ofrenda] I've got blood for the Blood God.
#Slimecicle#Charlie Slimecicle#Technoblade#QSMP#JuanaFlippa#Badboyhalo#Bad#Ironmouse#Tilin#Bobby#Baghera Jones#Baghera#FitMC#November 2 2023#Dia de los Muertos#I've been holding onto this clip for an entire year now#I still feel iffy about sharing moments like this#Because I hate how often clip channels put people's grief on display for clicks#But at the same time#It's Dia de los Muertos#And there's something about shared grief and storytelling that is so essential to keeping those memories of the people we love alive#There are still some moments I'll never clip or share though#I actually wrote all these previous tags out (and the full transcript out) before rewatching the clip and decided to cut a minute out#This abridged version feels more respectful#Q

Not that anyone asked but looking at a.) the fact that Carpenter says that it’s clay being torn from the riverbank by the floodwaters of the White Gull and b.) The Hjulström Curve:
We can determine that the flow velocity of the White Gull River in TSV45 was approximately 150-300 cm/s.
What does this mean? Absolutely nothing, I’m going to be so honest. I just find this amusing
#the silt verses#tsv#there is an image ID on the graph that hopefully explains how to read it but I’m afraid I explained it poorly#I also misjudged the placement of the point where the slop of the erosion line changes#if anyone was wondering clay and silt erode at higher velocities because as grain size gets super small#the individual grains tend to stick together much more and then they act as larger grains#and you’ll notice that clay and silt basically never settle out#like they need a velocity of 0 to be deposited#essentially#so that clay is going to flow out to the ocean and it might spend YEARS in suspension until it eventually settles#wow just like fau— GUNSHOT#sorry I’m just thinking about how he too will end up out in the water column. probably#and eventually he’ll sink#or maybe not#maybe he’ll get caught on a boulder that’s deposited by the floodwater#cause hey if the flow velocity is THAT high it’s probably also transporting some massive boulders and depositing them further downstream#where the channel widens and the flow velocity lowers#does anyone want to talk to me about sediment. I’m normal I promise#I’m putting my geoscience degree to WORK over here <- degree is still in progress I am Not An Expert#I hope my professors are proud of me
