As someone who just paid to have her taxes done even though she's completely broke, this is too real.

Your personal triggers and squicks do not get to determine what kind of art other people make.

People make shit. It's what we do. We make shit to explore, to inspire, to explain, to understand, but also to cope, to process, to educate, to warn, to go, "hey, wouldn't that be fucked up? Wild, right?"

Yes, sure, there are things that should be handled with care if they are used at all. But plenty more things are subjective. Some things are just not going to be to your tastes. So go find something that is to your tastes and stop worrying so much about what other people are doing and trying to dictate universal moral precepts about art based on your personal triggers and squicks.

I find possession stories super fucking triggering if I encounter them without warning, especially if they function as a sexual abuse metaphor. I'm not over here campaigning for every horror artist to stop writing possession stories because they make me feel shaky and dissociated. I just check Does The Dog Die before watching certain genres, and I have my husband or roommate preview anything I think might upset me so they can give me more detail. And if I genuinely don't think I can't handle it, I don't watch it. It's that simple.

This was going to be a panel of a little comic but I got too invested in drawing minute background details so, here.

crazy to me how a good 50-60% of the posts in the osddid tags are just bitching about endos and aren't even about osddid. remind me again which community is supposedly padding out traumagenic spaces with endogenic related content?

Ever After High, but make it a PIDW AU.

Imagine how fucked up it would be if Shen Jiu is up there doing the book signing ceremony that seals his destiny of becoming the next 'Shen Qingqiu', and the mirrors display him getting thrown away by his martial siblings at the trial, and his limbs being torn off and other despicable tortures, and being brought down so low that your humanity is stripped away from you, all for an audience to see. And they cheer. The crowd is ecstatic, perhaps even more so than when his father, Shen Qingqiu, was put on trial.

Honestly if trump wins I'm blocking anyone who's ever put "the Dems are just as bad so why bother voting" bullshit on my dash. Y'all will do everything to blame anyone else but yourselves for not doing the absolute bare minimum of your duty as a citizen and the hilarious part is that so many of you pretend that be fucking pseudo revolutionaries on the internet

Y'all can't even handle a conflicting opinion without sending anon hate but sure. You're definitely the one who's gonna plan the revolution 🙄

I've always said that working in healthcare makes seeing people post about it on Tumblr kind of torturous, but these last several days have been truly trying.

[silentsockfeet]

with the obvious addendum that act 3 isn’t out yet and we can’t form true opinions until the show’s officially done, i’m still really feeling like it could have maybe benefited from a third season. they’re hitting all the right plot points and those moments are full of really intense emotion, but everything in the middle feels so underwhelming in comparison and so much of it still feels rushed to me. idk

And Ch 12 is done!

Needless to say, I completely fell in love with comic making, because when I do one chapter, completely new scenes get born in my mind. For example, that I can reuse first page from last one but with different connotation lmao. I also noticed how the process evolved over time, I literally started just sketching and throwing stuff out, and this one I did proper thumbs>dialog>drawing pipeline, which is why it looks way more polished than ones before.

And my ass was so giddy for this one because I could finally use one thing that actually made my brain go into overdrive with these characters in the first place: their weapon names.

It's just so goddamn good.

And while Grey Talon and Shiv are more or less straight forwards with the meaning, Vindicta's one allowed me to play with the flower and it's meaning.

I'm truly channeling Tite Kubo with this one oh my goD.

Me: Listen, I know we spent a lot of energy on this, and it didn't come out right, but we don't have to have a meltdown. It's completely ok to mess up and learn from our mistakes, which will make us better at the task in the long run.

[itsanotheridiot]

You know the writing of a character is good when they are literally a rich cop and you got me yelling at my screen “eat the rich” and “all cops are bastards” but also making me feel so bad for her as well as we see her change completely the grief fully consuming her and stripping her of all her morals leaving behind one thing rage
