Posting these memes because left leaning political twitter is having the most mind numbing discourse on whether rapists deserve to die (yes) and can they be rehabilitated (no). And leftists are treating rapists as some type of persecuted class who need their defense when if you look at the stats most rapists are free. They were never even reported for their crimes. They get lenient sentences and are able to be reintegrated into society. And that’s if they’re sentenced at all. You’d think they’re being experimented on and being sent to the gulag the way any person gets dogpiled onto for saying something bad should happen to rapists right now.

Like why are using this dumb fucking meme because someone made a little jokey joke that rapists should get their dicks cut off? Why does that bother you so much when globally, rape culture DOMINATES? Rapists are enabled and protected. But a tweet showing them vitriol is where you draw the line? Also this person never stated their stance on rehabilitation to begin with. You, again, just got mad because someone said something bad should happen to rapists. But what a shocker that the violent crime that mainly targets women and has been used historically to control and harm them is the hill mainly male leftists wanna die on. They’re not even willing to acknowledge the misogynistic element in most rapes and how those rapists hate women and that largely plays a role in why they rape. The desire to control and hurt a woman. They’ll be like guillotine landlords. Punch a nazi/white supremacist in the face. But saying any harm should be done to rapists is where they draw the line and I’m not supposed to find that insane?

I very rarely make Complaint Posts about fandom but can we be 100% mature and adult and acknowledge that the whole running ‘joke’ of confronting people who draw Jimmy like they’ve committed a social faux pas is pretty weird and kind of rude? I’ve experienced it and I’m sure other people have too.

Even when it’s done in a jokey way (eg. why did you draw Insert Goofy Misspelling Here), it comes across as this weird kind of performative condemnation. When you post a picture you’ve drawn and the response is EW WHY DID YOU DRAW JIMMY or SORRY YOU HAD TO DRAW JIMMY ���� it’s like… are you wanting medals for shaking your head the hardest at this fictional character? I don’t even like him. I think he’s a pathetic creep and a loser. I’m just wanting to discuss and portray a character who plays an interesting role in a story I like.

Can we all just take a step back and Think about that being the current trend? Why are we doing it? What is that saying to people who engage with the story and find it compelling? When you work for hours on a piece and it’s met with almost nothing but tired memes for responses it doesn’t exactly inspire people to continue creating work.

I think we can retire it at this point, quite frankly.

no but genuinely. i love shadow filbo dearly. he means a lot to me.

he marks a time for me where i began embracing what i like just... for the sake of it!

he embodies the things that inspired me to draw online in the first place. hell, sparklecat characters with bangs have made me stop cutting my hair. i haven't cut my hair properly since. just because i wanted the same bangs, not knowing how hair works. now i have what is best described as messy fluttershy hair. to many people just how long my hair is, is what defines me when they see me and my hair is in a way special to me.

and again - he was what inspired me to draw. in class i'd be drawing my own sparklecats at the age of like 8, with bangs and wings and little companions that sit on clouds that rain hearts. (and bolts and skulls when ANGRY!)

i put rainbows on everything. i thought nyan cat was the embodiment of everything good in the world. i listened to nightcore versions of songs only. i say, as i am listening to nightcore, right now.

because of all these old classic animation memes and sparklefurs and silly scene and emo song flash animations i'd find... i'd pick up ms paint and draw. i imagined just how i'd animate, finding even the simplest methods absolutely mesmerising. there is something to be said about me being this young with internet access - because it very much so had it's negative effects. not me watching fetish videos at the age of 8 just because it had pokemon in it. yea that did not have any lasting effects.

but despite all this shit - it raised me! and even just a few years later... like.. 2015 when i began posting online on deviantart for the first time, not being just a lurker... learning how The Computer works better - not only drawing on paper anymore and gaining more and more interest towards digital art... i was already nostalgic towards these earlier days. but still living IN it, y'know?

just having fun, doing my own thing! isn't that what art is all about?

well. then the cringe culture nation attacked. severe bullying at school. and in general, just shame - which i am still fighting in certain aspects. but it's a bit more complicated than just "shame". (more so fear of Things.)

i'd look back at things with either genuine "cringe" or a distaste. how DARE these people have fun? because deep down, i was simply jealous.

if i was going to reference anything old like this, like classic animation memes, it was framed as "JOKE" "NOT SERIOUS" because i feared i would be harassed, made fun of, or people would thing THAT is the best of my artistic abilities. but... it's not like that.

and now, more and more people are embracing this. and it makes me so happy. and shadow filbo helped me fight off these fears a lot and just let me love what i love and be myself.

maybe it's not an ""aesthetic"" that completely defines me, maybe it IS a tik tok trend to do nowadays - but i don't care. without any of this i wouldn't be here. those were my first inspirations. silly colorful cats animated to crunchy mp3s of songs using movie maker and 3 (three!) frames drawn in ms paint. it had so much charm. it had so much genuinity. and i could feel it even back then.

without it i might've not been here as i am now. there are so many things that go into this, of course. but i simply would not be the exact way i am. and i dunno. that's something to think about.

thank you so much, shadow filbo. one "mistake" with you i've had was thinking i should be a good creator of something and respond to every fan and fanart, which only stressed me out. i have... opinions! about being recognized in various places and, as some dub, a "NICHE INTERNET MICROCELEBRITY" (nothing against you fox </3).... yeah! not a fan.

another mistake was dubbing him as a "joke" always. and... he is! he is humorous! i am a jokey person! i like crunchy shitposts! i like being the reason people laugh! i will go to certain levels to even ridicule myself just for the bit, and i don't mind it. i'm hyper(active) and i am just a jokey person, that's that. but... him being called a joke was honestly just a shield from people taking him too seriously.

if people were to mock me for being nostalgic for nightcore, and rainbows, and edgy amvs, sparkledogs, scene culture and clothes, rave songs... all this!

but... no! people loved it! people loved it so much, it moved THEM to create art!

me, referencing things that made ME inspired to draw all those years ago - then inspired OTHERS to draw other things. to embrace themselves. to have fun. to connect.

it means so much to me. it's a bit odd to comprehend, too.

but it means the world to me. sorry if i am ever annoying about shadow filbo, and is often the first thing i bring up when bugsnax is brought up - but he is the highlight of my experience with bugsnax.

thank you so much, shadow filbo. and me and my wretched little claws, of course. for making them. and those that inspired me. those old friends i lost along the way, too. and those, that inspired those that inspired me. and so forth.

thank you.

when it was first going around I wanted so badly to draw that "we're gonna have to kill this guy steven" meme w gansey and batman but. I cannot abandon my principles for a meme. neither of them would suggest killing someone and neither of them would be ok w it happening.... not even for a widdol jokey joke could I represent them so abhorrently

Hi!!

☕ Do you do warmup sketches before drawing? (Bonus: do you have any to share?)

🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view?

🙌 Draw a doodle with your non-dominant hand

artist ask meme

☕ Do you do warmup sketches before drawing? (Bonus: do you have any to share?)

yes I do!! most of the time they're just headshots or silly things.... like a good 70% of my more jokey art were originally warmup sketches that I decided to turn into actual WIPs and color

this Reno sketch from a couple days ago is usually what my warmup sketches look like! They take like 10 minutes or so? Maybe even faster if it's a character I draw a lot

I usually ask my friends for suggestions on what to do, which is why I have a bunch of Sukuna cat things that I still need to color (and Big Bro Sorcerer Sukuna things... but I'll get to them eventually)

for more serious sketches that I turn into thumbnails for paintings... I color grayscale, slap a gradient map on them, and paint over the sketch in certain areas so I don't forget what kind of palette/vibe that I wanted to go with! These usually take anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour? Depends on how much I'm struggling

I need to have things mostly planned out by the sketch stage or else I'll come back to it later like............... oh idk what I wanted to do here

🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view?

I flip my canvas constantly lol so I'm good with right and left facing faces as long as they're around 3/4 view...... straight profile is a bit harder for me but manageable.... the true enemy is side profile </3

NOBARA GIRL I'M SO SORRY... my usual brush is very tilt/angle reliant so it was acting weird being held in my left hand a;lkdsfj

Pinned post since I went through and organized all my posts!!

I’m Vic! My main account is Here! This is my general warrior cats blog.I literally do whatever my whims demand and do it all for fun. I like to try to make my designs animation friendly for if I ever feel like animating them ;)

- Organization tags are all follows -

#Design - Warriors character designs

#Illustration - A colored, non-character-design piece

#Comic - Sequential styled pieces (even if some are not technically true comics)

#Meme - for lack of a better word, a catch all for drawings meant to be lighthearted and / or jokey

#animation- Any animated things I make

#Vic-Rambles - Miscellaneous rambles from me about cat related stuff. Literally just getting thoughts out of my head lol

(These tags may often overlap)

For now I’m just working off of whims, but someday I may open asks!

low key sad that a meme post has more notes than that post i made about mmiw a few years back

[taikk0]

Does your little OC/Sona have a backstory (both fictional, and practically) ? I did see them in a murderous mood and it seems there was more in there... So I was wondering

Oh good question, but a couple of weird answers incoming-

So.. technically speaking, no he doesn't. Because I keep flopping around between at least three and none of them are canon, since I'm not really satisfied with either one of them.

However, I don't really think I consider them to be very important at the moment. Because I have a VERY brief outline of his story and you could easily not even think about the backstory because it doesn't really serve a purpose, and honestly I think I'd be fine with it just the way it is and keeping it that way until I find a compelling story to tell with the backstory being a major player.

Narratively speaking, yes. but I've made up the absolutely brilliant excuse of giving him amnesia and I made two memes about it not too long ago but I never posted them because I had no idea when they would become relevant so nows the time I guess:

All that out of the way though, The reason why I decided to not properly give him one is that I kind of grown to not really enjoy making characters having a huge chunk of their story being pushed to the wayside as "the backstory" because I think it wastes a lot of narrative potential and is only used as a backdrop to explain why a character is the way that they are in the story they were supposed to be a part of. It kind of makes it feel like the character had their own movie and the main story they're actually a part of is a crossover sequel with other characters with their own separate movies. So I'd much rather focus on what happens and becomes of them in the present. Which brings me to my next weird answer:

Their main story is the backstory???

It really isn't, but with the state of its current presentation, it might as well be (BUT IT ISN'T) let me explain- The timeline where most of the art I depict him in is scattered all around. In one artwork he's with the Krang, and in the next, he's with Leonardo, and after that, he's in a white void breaking the fourth wall.

But there is actually a timeline between them, it's just unclear and the art is their own stand-alone thing, but they are a part of the bigger picture, just very small "can be broken off and nothing would change because it's just a little twig that grew from canon but is not a part of said canon" branches

But I can say that the Leo art where they're just hanging out and being buddies with no bad blood between them is what becomes of Mix once his arc has concluded. Take it as sort of tidbits of an epilogue.

Though for full transparency here, Mikyomix isn't really a rise oc. He was just my sona that I inserted into canon because I bullied Leo on my TikTok story once, which led to me drawing them interacting for the first time. I didn't really give it much thought then, but now I can confirm that he does exist in the rise universe somehow despite breaking its usual conventions. He's a strange dude, and everyone takes note of it. What also adds to his peculiarity is that most of his lore started off as a joke, but it all ended up tying together and accidentally made sense. the pieces were there, it only took me a few months to realize that they weren't just ornamental, and I started piecing it all together. Just know that most of the jokey lore and character details I've made about him now serve a purpose.

But.. as much as I talk about it, I'm kind of torn between just keeping it my own thing and making the story I want to tell. It's super cheesy and lame and it's technically a self-insert, but at this point, there will be a time when the self-insert stops being a self-insert, where they get so far into the world and the events that happen to them within it that they start taking up their own form. It's not really you anymore, they're their own character. It becomes less about what you would do if you were in the same situation and more about how the character would react given their personal experiences.

That was a very weird tangent but it sounded too good to edit to fit everything else in so I'm keeping it. Anyways not only that, but also the fact that I'm a VERY amateur writer, and god knows how badly I could ruin the execution. I doubt that I'll ever write it in full, but I might occasionally post about it just because I can.

I had no idea where to put this in but I had to mention it for anyone more curious than they already are.

Mikyomix is a very simple character, but they still have depth. he's not complicated enough to have a very deep and complex narrative with hidden subtext that is worth a character analysis. But they're enough to serve a story dedicated to them.

also:

there is a more in-depth reason for this I promise I'm not just throwing darts blindfolded and hoping I hit something

[ask-the-riders]

Gonna be real for a sec

I've been pushing myself to put out more content lately. Even if something still takes a while to get posted, it's still a struggle to get myself into the right headspace to work on it

Because I've been trying to force my creativity, I think I did a bad and burned myself out. It's hard to make myself draw anything, and even harder to make myself try to write. Hence why I haven't responded to any rp stuff that's been sitting in my ask box. I really want to, but I literally can't. If I try, I get frustrated because my brain won't produce anything good for me to work with

I'm not ignoring asks because I don't wanna rp. I do wanna get back to those, but I'm just really exhausted, so I can't. Hence why I keep reblogging ask memes and posting random thoughts and jokey stuff. I want interaction, and I can't get (or give) it via rp, so I'm trying to find another way to get it that's more manageable

Sorry to anyone that's been waiting on a response. Wish I could've answered those asks, but it's just... Super hard right now, and it's aggravating

Hello!!

I'm back again with another ask, I'm just very excited to see a blog that interprets Gojou in the same manner as me (lol I think I follow like 4 blogs for Gojou content) and writes him in a manner that I really vibe with and such! Also! I know my asks are long so please don't feel the need to answer right away, take your time!!

Yes, yes! I do think that Gojou is introspective, but he's just so round about and awkward when it comes to expressing his emotions, pls he's so sad and pathetic (affectionate) (altho! I think this aspect of him makes him very human in a story that emphasizes his power and god-likeness so much, y'know?)

And omg yes! HS Gojou would have been the biggest tsundere!! I completely agree with you there!! Pls he would be all loud and jokey and just an overall menace to you, but inside, his heart is beating like crazy, and his brain cells are fighting for their lives, it takes his all his will power to not combust LOLLL pls he's so ridiculous, I love him 🥺

Gojou being extra touchy and clingy my beloved 💗 I just know that Gojou is soooo touch starved, and that when reader breaks down his walls, and is physically affectionate with him, he like descends into the clouds, he would become so addicted to their touch, and being without it would be torture for him (lol I think I could write like a whole essay on Gojou being touched stared 😭) and he would be so whiny and pouty when you don't give him attention, a whole man child honestly LMFAO

LOL your tag about shoujo always having a special place in your heart is ASHGAFIOBHADF, cuz SAME, I've read so many shoujo manga, and watched so many kdramas and 90s bollywood movies that have just filled my brain with romantic fantasies LMAOASLAFB And I think it is very apparent because the very first fic that I wrote for Gojou a few months ago was soo shoujo-esque in its just overall vibes, and even the one I'm working on right now has like shojou-esque vibes and scenes, and even when I draw Gojou, I draw him in a shoujo-esque manner (I had a moot tag a sketch of him as shoujo gojo LOL) anyways all of this is to say is that I totally support your shoujo agenda, and that Gojou should be written as the lovesick and insane and obsessive and pathetic male lead of a shoujo manga 💗

Ahhh I'm glad you liked my dad Gojou drawing!! He is very dear to me, and while I think that Dad Gojou would not be a perfect father, he would do his best, and make sure that his children feel very loved and adored ASKJAS idk if Gege will give Gojou a happy ending, but in my little ame-universe, I will give him a happy and loving family and a thousand happy endings and more 🥺💗(LOL I have fully accepted and embraced the fact that I am SOFT for Gojou ALIFOBJADG)

Also your tag about 'gojo's breeding kink > gojo' like no you're right, I get it and totally agree with you there AVHDOIBHDBALBFDBHDB

Also thank you for explaining the pun! I found it really interesting, and now I'm just sitting here and wondering if Gojou is just walking around making puns all the time, and if that is another reason added to Megumi's growing list of why he finds Gojou annoying LOL (altho on a serious note, I wish the official english translations included this note because I think something as small as this adds to Gojou's overall character especially since Gege I think does a really good job of showing his characters in a few lines, but alas, 😭)

Ahhh this ask also got out of control LOL but thank you for listening to me rant about Gojou! I'm having a lot of fun talking about him with you!! 🥺💗

the two of us talking about gojo is literally that clown to clown communication meme i have somewhere in my phone gallery

i think especially when it comes to love hs gojo was like. i will just Not Think About It. and then proceeds to do the worst thing ever to sabotage his chances of ever getting together (rip!mc is oblivious but gojo is also 100% at fault) like it's honestly CLOWN behavior how much he pretends he's not affected by anything but he IS and he makes a fool out of himself everytime!!!!

i feel like clingy touch starved gojo is the one thing the fandom CAN come to a consensus on and it's hilarious bc i bet he is so unbearable about it and makes it everyone's business how much he misses his s/o to the point where they're like just go.

also sooo true about shoujo manga. i think we SHOULD romanticize this man to make him bearable. make him smitten. make him pathetic. make him your poor little meow meow. as a treat. "Gojou should be written as the lovesick and insane and obsessive and pathetic male lead of a shoujo manga" so true bestie so true. i knew we were kindred spirits when you said that in your first ask amen.

and yes!!!!! your drawing definitely had shoujo vibes it was adorable!!!!!! gojo would NOT be a perfect dad i agree but he would try his best so he gets points for that ig.....

[this-should-do]

waitwaitwait so i was just talking the other day about how barney tries to spread the stories of gordon from before the rescas, when he was just a normal guy

and how just now im listening to the o ly thing i kniw for real and how thats such a gordon song and the lyrics deacribe a man ehos lost his identity to violence and fighting, he doesnt remember who he is anymore and doesnt even know his name and at first i was like thats a hyperbole for gordon, he remembers his name and himself but then i realized

gordon as ive constructed doesnt truly rememeber shit

hes Freeman, not gordon, Gordon isnt important so it gets locked away not to be seen or heard or remembered until hes safe (functionally forever in Freemans mind) he packs weakness (memories thoughts feelings) away into boxes along with Gordon so he really doesnt remember himself or his name, he only needs to know what helps him survive and fight, as he becomes completely after he cuts his hair is Freeman, a creatue of violence and efficiancy (i thought i was only joking with the i dont know why im here, or who i am, all i know is that i must kill meme drawing ksjdbsbs this is like the second jokey post that has now become a serious ficture in characterizations of characters)

and this ties back into barney, who tries his best to remember gordon as he was: a person (his sucessfulness is limited, he is not immune to idolization, he is only human) and therfore whne verything is over, barney is a super important key in helping gordon be a person again, he knows Gordon more than gordon really can, and helps draw Gordon out with the exagerated warped but with truth to them stories and attitudes until gordon can do the rest himself and remember himself as he does without others lenses

[ink-the-artist]

seeing your legitimate masterpieces followed by meme-y, ridiculous, or just very casual captions gives me absolute whiplash. But it's all you, which makes it all great.

Every single one of your pieces is immediately captivating, and I hope you know your work is truly special. I know it.

thank u! titles aren't something I've always done for art but I found it fun so I almost always do it now, I feel like it can often add a lot to an illustration even if it's a more jokey or nonsensical title. I think the fever hallucination angel illustration is a good example of what I mean, I very often start a drawing with an idea in mind of what I want it to look like but not always the story for it, and thinking about possible titles while working on it also gives me a clearer idea of the kind of story I want it to have. So for the angel drawing I just set out to draw a lion-esque creature laying on a bed and as it started looking more surreal and ethereal than I meant it to I kinda just ran with it, got the idea for the title and from there decided this would be an angel visiting someone through a hallucination
