Meet my new ocs!! :>

Lore and info below the cut!

The pink hair guy with the silly creatures in his torso is Emilien (Emi for short) (he/it pronouns) some times after his top surgery he had these cute mouth entities that woke up in his scars (he's not really enjoying their presence)

That tall long green hair man is Sohan (he/him) he's a cashier who is gonna find out about Emi's creatures and be fascinated by them. Could be a good thing for Emi since it had a crush on Sohan since some time (despite the fact that they never really talked) but actually Sohan is like. an unsympathetic and unfriendly asshole. He doesn't care about Emi as a person at all

Because of Emi's mixed feelings about Sohan, the creatures will be very hostile toward him, so he won't be able to study them. And because he really wants to, Sohan will try to force himself to fall in love with Emi

i think the most impressive thing about the adaptation is how it's handling the implicit commentary on education and on "writing" as a medium although it's visual and thus can't do some of the unreliable-narrator stuff in the same way ferrante could in the books

i am still very curious to see how they will handle the end of the series but they've already shown they have the chops for it. i was particularly impressed how in the beginning, when Lenù starts to write, child-Lila gets up and walks away unnoticed. child-Lila was able to come to old-Lenù in the absence, in the shock and grief and confusion, but when Lenù fires up her computer she loses her. the scene in season 3 where Lenù reads Lila her article ("her" article) publishing Lila's experience in her own kinda pompous, overwrought voice and we just get a shot of Lila's tired blank expression, that was terrific. i am #okay. i am not going insane at all.

but seriously, i do trust that when we get to the series finale i am gonna be suitably destroyed. they know what tf they're doing.

Anyway.... Back to what I was pondering earlier today... It's been 4 months but I'm still as deeply obsessed with Exotic Creatures of the Deep as at the very start

reminiscing on the period where i didnt know sawashiro was modeled after ttm and the second i learned and embraced that it 1000% altered the way i drew him These Are Not The Same Bitch

Sometimes, when life's got you down, you just need to go relax with your best friend. (Feat. FinFin.)

Technically, a collaborative comic of sorts with Cam and I. We weren't sure who'd be best posting it, so I decided to take it on this time. It's also kinda, half-vent, half-fanart, half-system comic? …Truly, there's many halves at play here. More than usual, one might say.

[trifoliate-undergrowth]

enough about taylor swift already. reblog and tag the smallest, least known artist you listen to

[thevalleyoftriumph]

the fact ai art is dying out the way of the nft is endlessly hilarious to me. hindsight is 20/20, like.. knowing what we know now it makes sense that it wouldnt last. but its so funny seeing all these companies and tech bros constantly lose their collective shit over the next Big New Art Thing that makes them not need to pay artists anymore, or whatever new Theft Machine is created to spend their money on, only for the exact next year to come by and theyre begging and pleading for people to keep using their shit because nobody wants it - and when they force ai generated slop at people, its so bad that even those who were into it are turned away. theres just no way to make ai generated content sustainable and its so funny to watch it wither away and die

rap drama summation:

drake and kendrick met in 2011 after kendrick's first album release

drake became friends with kendrick bc he was like "this guy has potential" and had kendrick be one of his openers on tour

kendrick had drake on his next album that won aoty

kendrick was featured on the song "control" where he names a bunch of artists and is like "i'm coming for your job" and one of them was drake, who was also the only one pressed about it

PRESENT DAY:

j cole featured on drake's song "first person shooter" where he says that himself, drake, and kendrick are the "big 3" of rap

kendrick features on future's album on the song "like that" where he says that there is no big three and it's just him (basically that he's better than both of them)

drake drops two diss tracks ("push-ups" which is just a general diss, and "taylor made freestyle" where he disses kendrick for featuring on bad blood and delaying his response to the first diss track because of taylor's album release. while also talking about how much he loves and respects her because he's non-commital like that)

kendrick drops his response, and it's a 6-minute diss that calls drake out for EVERYTHING. like using AI to write, mistreating women, being sexist, being canadian (💀), and a bunch of other stuff like he eats him up

kendrick drops a second response called 6:16 in LA

drake drops a response that i hadn't heard of when first making this post so it probably wasn't very good

he drops a third response yesterday, called "meet the grahams" where he addresses it to different members of drake's family (including his son) dissing him for being a bad father, bad son, and bad example (eats him up again) (this dropped an hour after drake's which means he probably had insider information and is playing 4D chess)

we now await drake's response

kendrick dropped ANOTHER diss track called "not like US"

drake dropped a response called "the heart part 6" that was not only bad but completely disproportionate to how bad he got cooked (this diss was not it)

this makes me so sad and angry, to see the very reason such an amazing artist was run out of a fandom still happening to them. It sucks so hard seeing all the people that made the TSS fandom what it is be thrust out because of insensitive, immature people who can’t show base level respect for artists and their work.

Everybody, both in the sanders sides fandom and in any other fandom, listen up:

Reposting art without credit is stealing. Reposting art with credit is stealing.

I don’t care where you found the art; pinterest, safari, instagram, bing, it does. not. matter. if you are posting art and it’s not yours, you are stealing art. putting “credit to artist” or “full credit to owner” does absolutely nothing.

for many artists, like Pastel Peach, creating artwork is their literal job, it’s how they make money and support themselves. it’s how they live. and when you repost it to your own blogs or boards or wherever, you are hurting them and their livelihood. you are harming a personal business. Because now, if someone comes across their art and likes it, they’re giving you likes and comments and interaction, not the person that made the art. they’re boosting your page for the algorithm, not the person that made the art. you’re the one profiting off of someone else’s hard work. that is theft, the very definition.

so PLEASE, when you find art online that you like, and you don’t know who the artist is or don’t know if they allow reposting, Do Not Repost It Anywhere. Ever. If you really want to, you can find the original artist, and ask permission to repost it if they don’t make it clear outright that they don’t want people reposting their work. But if it’s not completely and 100% obvious that they welcome with reposts, do not repost anything.

and OP, as someone who is still a part of the TSS fandom and was part of it years ago when you were active in it, from the bottom of my heart i am so sorry it became such a toxic, unsafe place. You’re absolutely an amazing artist and your decision to separate yourself from the fandom and any other group of people are completely valid. I’m so glad you are protecting yourself and your beautiful work, and i’m so sorry there are people that give you a hard time about it. I’m wishing more respect for you and your work to come your way, and please remember you’ve always got me and many others in your corner 💕

in case anyone ever wonders about the life of a fanartist, this is it

someone approached me about a post by the first screenshotted op(ive blocked out their names cause I'm pretty sure theyre minors and don't want ppl harassing them) in which they used a sanders sides COMMISSIONED piece I did, without credit. I was told the person who contacted me about it tried to comment my @ to credit me, but was rudely told off and the comment removed.

I then approached them and was my best to be polite about asking them to take down the post. They did, but then blocked me. I thought "fine, whatever" BUT THEN their partner sent me the 2nd screenshotted post. I responded, but they blocked me too.

I logged onto a fake account and checked their Insta and saw this

I did not target anyone, I did not 'harass' or 'annoy' anyone, I simply asked that I be respected as an artist.

I don't wanna hear anyone ask me why I don't do sanders sides art anymore, this. This is why. Respect artists.
