#growing toxicity in beauty

[dumpsterdoll663]

The one thing common in 'trends' like the 'it girl', buccal fat removal, fucking 'heroin chic' and whatnot is the pressure to adhere to the 'pale and skinny' standard... I don't understand why we're passing these off as mere trends as if they're not deeply rooted in white supremacy and fatphobia

hey btw before you start being angry at the 10 year old sephora kids and the ipad kids, remember that we should feel bad for them. because the world has failed them. it is not these kids faults that the world is so focused on materialistic things and that their parents don't know how to talk to them. that is the fault of social media and bad parenting. i said what i said.

Love Anne being further along in her character arc than Marcy. Love the idea of Anne idealizing her friend as such an incredibly intelligent person only to watch her make mistake after mistake - the same ones Anne learned from ages ago, but that Marcy refuses to aknowledge. Anne seeing her be selfish and self-centered without realizing and thinking, "I used to be like that. I was always scared she'd leave me behind because she's so much smarter than me, but now I'm scared she'll fall behind me if she doesn't realize what she's doing - and she's not learning at the same pace as I did".

my shattered glass optimus because i think the canon pallette looks too dull and random. (ie literally nothing like the og optimus's colors. the challenge is to remake his iconic colors into evil ones!! not just purple and black!!) i'll admit, i dont know much about primus. but in my sg universe, optimus would revere it as this higher power, the god of everything. treats you like shit if you don't believe in primus. also an asshole who LOVES hearing himself talk. you'll ask for advice and he'll give you 2 or 3 semi-valuable sentences and start bragging about himself and what he would do if he were in your situation. he'll also start going on a rant about how if you prayed to primus then things would be better for you.

Whew look at you go! Had a small problem with aphids a lil while back, but after a whole lot of diligence they were banished. Still have some of the damaged leaves visible but look at all the healthy new growth!

You may be trying to take over my desk, but I couldn’t ask for a better art companion. The moss in the planter is happy with the frequent watering and shade, but the impatiens is trying to devoir the terrarium moss now too

My oxalis is thriving still, too. But it has its own space above me and isn’t trying to reach out and say hello as much.

Okay, this has been your semi annual habitat update. Back to painting.

Also, hello new followers! Thank you for liking my art.

Ship so GOOD they HAD to make it TOXIC

the Denial ship

whispurge is basically the opposite of a "hurt/comfort" ship

"No, I'm not hurt, and no, you're not comforting me right now!"

Even though both really are hurting and are comforting eachother.

It's amazing how little words can matter sometimes.

Day 4 (Angel x Demon) and 6 (Neko/Animal Person) of cringetober drawings that I’m too shy to post on my main 😭 anyways, demon nightmare x angel Y/N and fox killer x Cat Y/N

In my mind, every single person here (except Angel Y/N, they’re just in a bad spot) is toxic as hell, but gets significantly better as the story progresses.

there’s a lot more nuance to it than just this but I think toxic beauty standards wouldn’t be quite as prevalent in society if people just accepted their mortality.

what I mean is that a lot - but not all! -  toxic beauty standards are deeply rooted in the fear of aging and that fear of aging is deeply rooted in the inherent fear of death.

it’s normal to fear death but that’s something that you are better off accepting will happen to you. but the way some people fear aging is truly damaging to people’s self image.

maybe you wouldn’t be so obsessed with beauty if you stopped being cowards about death.

“My standards are physically attractive Muscle bound fit men who stay that way & never gain weight ever.”

“If he wants me to have his kids he better be able pay for everything I want for the rest of my life as I’m never working again!!”

“What is it with men wanting to be desired?? They in their soft-girl era FR.”

“If he extends basic human manners to other women, he’s definitely gonna cheat!”

“I have a roster of dates. I have them all entertain me & and narrow them down to the top 3 like a competition show.”

“How is a hot girl like me still single?? lmao it must be the men these days💅🏾✨”

what didn't you like about it, out of curiousity?

Hmm I’m gonna have to think on it it some more and come back to you when I’ve managed to articulate something

[brawlqueen]

triggers: implied abuse, implied neglect.

PERSONALS DNI.

Mizuki route we’re in it now it gives so much subtext / context to Mizuki’s feelings you only truly get here, all of it. Mizuki fully knowing what a family can be, Mizuki grappling with loyalty to her abusive/ toxic family while realizing her family in Date, her truest sense is him, and finally breaking down? Not shying from how much pain no person should bear but she has? And she’s 12 but not diminishing her for it. All of it is laid on the table. It doesn’t shirk away. Personally, it shouldn’t. Mizuki is a fighter and capable of such vulnerability and so, so human.

How she doesn’t stop loving her biological family but recognizes they couldn’t be a healthy family when so much of her route she was in denial and a mixture of acceptance. And then finally that little step in Date’s Somnium Mizuki takes, not him, for herself, to choose him and run towards that ridiculous detective and not him convince her to grasp a healthier environment.. but Mizuki came to the conclusion of her own choice.

And she’ll never forget being an Okiura. A part of her always will be! It’s part of her, erasing that would be wrong. Good and bad things happen, even unspeakable things. It’s still possible in someone’s life. And in the beginning there are implications that things didn’t get to that horrifying point! Still not ideal, but a few precious memories .

Good, bad, traumatic feelings and indescribable feelings… she won’t stop loving them. But she is going to continue her life. She chose to, and that little step changed her life for the better by her own volition. She needs for her sake, to learn herself.

Just one little step but it created the Date family: “ It has to be you.” And Mizuki Date is born, without letting go of Mizuki Okiura. BOTH exist. One is her past to carry, the other her future to grow.

Mizuki chose how she wanted her family to be like, an ordinary family, and how to be treated, not Date, even if his love for her did so much, and I feel I’m going to be writing so many essay like analysis on them and their relationship because it's so crucial to both of them. So much I want to delve into beforehand also and handle it with care, as the topics deserve.

Just.. Mizuki .
