i'm ready to try
#This drawing is kind of personal to me#I recently graduated (CUM LAUDE WOOOO!!!!) and its like. not to get depressing#but when i was younger i was never sure whether i would make it to this point#When i was going through what i consider to still be like. the worst time of my entire life#This fictional character was there for me and she was something for me to latch onto and cope with#eGem helped me a lot with being able to process my emotions at the time but also helped me to reflect on myself#which i think is a big reason as to why I'm really happy with where i am with myself right now#I'm going off to uni next school year to study astronomy!!! which!!!#Im also doing because of eGem!!! She ignited this kind of childlike wonder for space for me#I love doing math and physics and whilst Im still a bit scared because. honestly i don't know whether this is what i want to do with my lif#I think i'll be okay either way#either way i wanted to draw egem again even if i haven't done so in a while because its like#i think i wouldnt be who i am without her. i think i'd be a lot worse off#so like. thank you empires smp thank you geminitay thank you egem This drawing is me expressing my gratitude#AND THANK YOU AUTISM!#empires smp#empires smp s1#empiresblr#esmp#geminitay#art#fanart#alice.art#mcyt#mcytblr#song is andromeda by weyes blood... obv.. you guys know me by now :oP

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

cissie + the people who feel some kinda way about her being arrowette + the fear of being pressured to fit a part youve outgrown
#drawing cissie in her actual arrowette costume causes me so much pain…. but the themes and such and the like. you get it#cissie king jones#anita fite#cassie sandsmark#young justice#young just us#yj98#arrowette#emperess#wonder girl#eye strain#<- i am not certain but just to be safe!!#fun fact this is about cissie worrying that people feel too strongly about her being arrowette but it is also about internalized homphobia💖#i love to give fictional characters my problems it is so FUN#soop art

Initial drawings of that old man… I literally, I haven’t finished reading the book of bill yet!!! I had to stop and take a break for a week to feverishly draw fanart of myself petting fords floofy hair and giving him attention and shit…!!!! The urge was too great….!! I’ve literally. I had a crush on this guy the instant he was first REVEALED in the show, but I did not have the artistic prowess to draw good looking old men back then… but I do now… thank god… thank fucking god
#gravity falls#ford pines#stanford pines#self ship#self insert#si x canon#it me#doodles#I got a haircut! so my hair looks different now.. as haircuts tend to do lol#anyway… yeah… I LOVE HIM… GRAHHFJH#the confirmation that he rlly is just sad and lonely and insecure and craving attention and validation#OHH FORD BBY.. WE R THE SAME#like… ghghg i loved him already just w his prickly nerdy outer shell but knowing more about the vulnerable center is GREAT. ITS AWESOME#also hes a smart nerdy guy who can do science and expirements and shit which is ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS FOR A CHARACTER TO DO#u kno im all about scientists….#I couldn’t draw ship art back then 1 cuz I didn’t kno how to draw old men and 2 cuz I was like 13 lol… which would have been wierd#but I’m an ADULT NOW. GET OVER HERE FORD#also it didn’t even rlly cross my mind TO draw that stuff cuz even tho I did love ford#self ship and x reader sorta stuff was not NEARLY as popular back then.. like I specifically remember it like. booming in popularity#at some point. but being pretty rare before that. anyway. thank u passage of time and trends and new gravity falls book for introducing#me back to fictional man I love. so I can now draw myself smooching him and shit#hell yeah.#13 is probably not actually correct I do not remember exactly which year fords reveal was in…#but I was probably older then 13.. but still#the point remains lol.#also omg. the bit in the book w the goth moth. ‘ur probably into this sorta thing right?’#I AM INTO THAT SORTA THING FORD. thank u book of bill for being written specifically @ me. the immersion it’s great.#like ur so right ford I AM edgy and goth how��d u guess that tee hee. eyelash flutter#aLSO PLS IGNORE MY FINGER BEING IN FRAME IN THE LAST PIC. I was drawing in a tiny bound sketchbook#so I had to hold the paper down to keep it flat. and. I didn’t feel like censoring my fucking. pinkie finger out of the image

more doodles of my favorite fictional family that consists of 1 (one) actual canon character dioryth is too fun to draw sorry
#bg3#baldurs gate 3#astarion#appindex#tav#dioryth#no extra commentary from i just love fictional families.#i see that being a bg3 artist is either just drawing the characters or drawing more ocs than canon characters.#AND ITS SO FUN lets all do it and hold hands peace on earth llalalala

F/o list meme because I miss posting about them but don't have all to much energy for other stuff currently, so memes it is😂 I lowkey wanna do more of these alignment chart memes now (both self ship and others), they're just fun :D
Template by @strawberry-selfships!
#when I saw this I just KNEW I had to put Piett in the bottom left one😂 he's like my only f/o who's not super tall😭#also counted Thrawn as my oldest f/o in this one even though I've had other fictional crushes before him#but either I don't ship with them anymore orI didn't actually consider them an f/o until much later#like in Grievous case I sorta had a crush on him when I was like 13/14 but just - didn't realise I could make up a character to ship w/ him#with Thrawn I didn't know yet was self shipping was either but I read like x reader stories and imagined myself being together with him#+ I started learning how to draw mainly so I could draw myself with him (and then never actually did oops💀)#and even though I don't really actively ship myself with him now he's just kinda been there for about 5 years now#also the one with Doof is probably just how I feel about him but I just really think he's so cute🥺💕💕#self ship#self insert x canon#self ship meme#thrawn#davy jones#the horned king#maximilian veers#heinz doofenshmirtz#yogar lyste#firmus piett#general grievous#hector barbossa#damn that's a lotta names#selniasposts

[id: an illustration of clone wars era Obi-wan, resting his head in one of his hands. He is slumped over a low table that is adorned only with a teapot and two untouched teacups. There is a single light ray falling across his back and onto the table in front of him that leaves his face in shadow and half of his hair completely white. The scene is dark and barren, with dust motes around the corners. /end id]
#star wars#obi wan kenobi#the clone wars#artists on tumblr#digital art#sigh#keeping up with my routine of drawing fictional characters being tired as hell#i’ll admit i don’t even care about how any of this looks. I drew that teapot with no reference head empty just woosh. colours.#and it was the most meditative peaceful thing I've done for the last 3 weeks.#pherrie draws

“the members of the noble and most ancient house of black are all products of inbreeding calling them pretty is ridiculous!” yeah? why the fuck do you think im reading fiction and not history of british royal families
#the noble and most ancient house of black#it’s a fictional world with flying brooms i promise ignoring the fact that inbred kids are ugly wont hurt you#not super mad about this but just annoyed some of yall have to bring this up every two weeks#yall would erase regulus fascism for a silly ship but draw the line at the blacks being called pretty#black family#sirius black#regulus black#walburga black#orion black#bellatrix lestrange#narcissa malfoy#andromeda tonks
